CHRISTMAS SHADOWS

Listen to that pitter-patter
OF the hurrying little feet,
ooh! Just look what Santa
bringed me.
Papa-mama. Amt he sweet"
Just to hear such childish voices
Would bring Heaven down to
me;
But this lonely, bitter silence
God of Heaven, set me free.
What is the story of the Christi
mas rose?
Was it the Angel Child
God sent down from Heaven,
So pure and undefiled?
All! yes, / hear the angels
Singing in accents mild.
She, who would the greatest,
Must become as little child.

A Brilliant New Comet
But Earth Not in Danger,

Metcalf's comet, the latest fiery
courser Of the starry universe, dis
covered few days ago, is rushing
toward the earth at the rate of many
thousands OF miles an hour Astron-
omers have been sitting up nights in
the great obserYatories, watching the
progress of the new wanderer, which
is visible on the northern horizon,
through telescopes, about midnight.
Prof. r. E. Barnard of the Yerkes
Observatory, Williams Bay, Wis,
has succeeded in getting photographs
of the comet, which is so far away
that the astronomers cannot tell with
in hundred million miles how near
it is. 1t seems to be without tail
There is no fear of any danger to the
earth. The earth passed through the
tail of Halley's comet three years ago
and itdid not dous bit of harm. The
Metcalf comet is located in the con-
steilation Lynx.

HUMBUCGERY OF CIVIL SERVICE

We are glad to see that Democrats
in Congress are having their eyes
opened as to the humhugeery Of the
civil service law, and have refused
10 extend same to embrace other
branches. In truth, il is not only un.
fair to the public, but antagonistic
TO our Republican form. Of govern
ment Civil service perpetuates GER
tain Federal oIlice-holders in power
renders them independent OF the
public, aud deprives others OF any
hope to participate in the division Of
patronage, il matters not how worthy
and efficient they may be-
And to show the rank farsity OF
such regulations, a young man fresh
from college and who is perhaps
ignorant OF the real duties and re-
sponsibility the position requires,
can pass in examination older, ex-
perlence and more deserving men,
but who have not so recently had
certain questions drilled into their
craniums.
Again, this regulation smack S
too strongly of old World monar-
chical ideas to suit we American
democrats. We believe in Givid-
ine the good things as equally as
possible among all the people, and
that no one man or set Of men should
hold a lease on Office and power.
On the other hand, we are in favor of
letting the people elect every officer
who must come in direct contact With
them. And when other patronage
must be dispensed leave it to the
Cong ressmen and Senators, and who
are directly responsible TO the people.

A TRUCKERS ASSOCIATION.

The farmers around Enisville are
making a grievoGs mistake ii they
refuse TO come together and organize
a Truckers Association. The boil
weevil has practically eliminated cot
o n as money crop in our county,
and our farmers must look to some
thing else This is naturally a e eat
trucking country, our soil and climate
being especially adapted to such
crops. But in order to reap the full
benefits Of the business the farmers
must come together and organize,
that they may thus be in position to
sell by wholesale and select the best
markets. Nothing can be accom-
phsned through individual efforts.
We must than depend on the con
tracted local markets, and which are
soon and easily glutted But when
they unite and organize an associa-
ton, they can then plant to any ex-
tent and be certain to find profitable
markets for all they can grow.
Some farmers have an idea that by
Joining this association they must
sign an iron-eIad obligation to plant
certain crops, and thus surrender
their independence This is most
ridiculous error. You take 10 obi
CATION whatever, and need not plant
square yard in any one crop unless
you see proper. But the only aim

OUR DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN

The common people the great
masses Of this Republic win with one
voice eelaim, when they consider
the great work done by the Demo.
cratic majority in tho House and
Senate, "Well done, thou good and
faithful servants.
With devotion TO duty un2aral-
leled in legislative bodies, our Repre-
sentatiyes remained in Washington
during the entire long and hot sum
mer, preparing laws to lit the
burthen from the backs Of the con
sumner, to give the country financial
relief, and put an end to money
panlcs
Both have been accomplished, with
out rest or adjournment, and our
representatives can now soon re-
turn to their respective homes to
meet with the grateful appreciation
Of their constituents. They have
done their work we'll and thoroughly,
and the people viii rise up en- masse
and call them blessed. They have
carried out to the letter every pledge
made in the Baltimore platform, and
proved to the world that the Demo
cratic party can be implicitly relied
upon TO make good 1t prom ses.
OF course great share of com
mendaton belongs 10 President
Wilson, but he could have accomp-
lished naught were he not supported
10y those true and loyal Democrats
in both branches of Congress, With
the exception of those renegade
Senators from Louisiana, every
member stood Loyalty by his party
and voted as one man. We never
before remember seeing such pat
riotism and unity.
The great work is done, and the
new taritf and currency bills will
soon receive the signature of the
President and become laws, II is
yet too early for the people to realize
the great good that these measures
will accomplish; but each day they
viii be the more perceoubly felt.
The necessities OF life will not only
be reduced TO the consumer, uttrusts
will be practically eliminated and
what is of equally great value, money
will be placed within the reach of the
public, and the fact demonstrated
that banks are established for the
benefit and convenience of the people,
and not for the profit of bankers and
stockholders.
We Democrats have caused to be
proud of our Senators and Congress
men, for they have disc harged their
duty WE'LL faithfully and thoroughly.
They deverve and will receive both
thanks and endorsement.

GAMBLING IN COTTON FUTURES.

We think our Democrats in Con,
gress made great mistake when
they We're bulldozed by those Wall
street gamblers into changing the
bill 70 tax future sales of cotton SO
cents per bale. Those fellows evil
IDENTITY played blur game aud won.
when they conspired 10 bear down the
price Of cotton the day the bill was
agreed upon by the Democratic eau
Gus
That bin should have been passed
Just as introduced by Senator Clark
OF Arkansas, for it is justand righte-
Gus, and would have been beneficial To
The cotton producer by emancipal-
ing him from the domination of those
Wall street spectators, and neces-
STATED the manufacturers buying cot
ton direct from the grower,
The passage of that bill could
have had no percei tible effect on the
price of the staple, for the world
needs every pound OF cotton the
South can produce, and they care
not whether they secure their sup
ply through the buyers or producer
On the other hand we believe in the
end 1t would have tended to advance
the price OF our great Sonthernmuney
crop by eliminating the middle man
and requiring manufacturers to deal
direct with the grower. Common
sense teaches that the nearer you can
bring the producer to the consumer,
and the more middle men you plump
out, the better for the man behind
the plow
But as great moral question that
bill should have been passed. Con-
gress most righteously abolished the
New Orleans Lottery, and there is
is no questioning the fact that those
Wall street gamblers Ia cotton
futures rob the public OF an humid
red dollars or more where that lot
terry took away one dollar, So long
vs. w hNA'i hAN tiAOst SO-Gdlitu AspGth-
lators in futures this country endorses
and condones wholesale gambling
scheme before which Monte Carlo
pales into insignificance.
And again, don't reason teach you
that when many times as many bales
of cotton are sold for future delivery
as the farmer can grow the natural
result is that the price of the staple
must declineY
The idea of painting those Wall
street gamblers and thieves as bene-
factors 10 our Southern cotton-grow-
ers is subimely farsical and ridi-
culous. They have been robbing
them ever since the war, and will
continue to plumber them until their
gang is broken up by some such
legislation as the Clark bill. The
Democrats made a sad mistake in
not passing the bill.

dental examination in the city schools
with the Hawthorne school this week.
He found there in the mouths of 80
pupils examined a total of 244 cavi-
ties, of which 124 were in temporary
teeth and 1870 in permanent teeth.
Nineteen of the pupils nae all sound
teeth and SO had no cavities in their
permanent teeth. Only our of the
80 pupils had had permanent teeth
extracted, The condition of the mouth
was found to be good in the ease of
30 children, fair in AZ and bad in 10.
Need of having teeth cleaned by a
dentist was evident in AZ cases. The
use of a toothbrush was reported by so
children for every day, by IA once in

On the Great Northern,

Whitefish, March 19.-(Special.)-
After 4S hours of hard battling, the
first district of the Kalispell division
of the Great Northern still continues
in the grip of the Storm King and
traffic has not been able to bulge.
The main trouble is on the continental
divide, between Essex and Summit. 1t
was reported in a doubtful manner
this afternoon that trains would get
through tonight, but this is prob
lematical on account of wires being
down n no word has been received
from the seat of the trouble since last
evening. The east-bound Oriental
Limited is showed in at Fielding and
No. is stalled at Glacier park.
A train loaded with provisions left
here this morning and will try to push
itself into Summit. While nothing
definite has been heard, it is supposed
that passengers on the trains are n; t
suffering. Division Superintendent
Smith is at Summit and doing every
thing for the comfort of the snow
bound passengers and Crews. The
passengers, about 10O,, brought in by
incoming trains, are stalled Mere, wait
ing for the blockade to open. They
are being well taken care of, the
diners are furnishing food and sleep
ing cars having been placed at their
disposal as far as berths win reach.
They consider that they are fortunate
to be stalled here instead of up in
the mountains. A number of freight
trains have been showed under on
sidings and engine crews are making
reroic efforts to keep the engines
alive. One rotary snoWplow was
started from here this morning. and
another is going west from Cutbank,
and unless the wind blows too hard,
the rack will probably be opened be-
fore long. H
The Fernie, B. c., branch is also
showed under and two freight trains
arc buried and helpless in the drifts.
