Rrlef HOLIDAY.

Joy Is like a bird in flight, which
dips In its passing and touches us
with It's wings. It comes from out Of
far country and It tracks Its way
on high. After that brief lowering
It will recover it's former attitude. its
speed, and song. It's throbbing keare
passes high over our throbbing cit
les and frozen hills. AS we watch
that fight Of untrammeled wing we
wish that somehow we might cap
ture that blithenesB and teach 1t to
dwell among men. Why should 1t
pause but never abide? We would
have that Joy abide so fixedly that 1t
would become a peace. The holiday
season Is like that. 1t stoops for
little out Of space, draws near our
dim earth, and sheds it's brightness
among men. AS swiftly as 1t came, SO
swiftly 1t goes again. And yet each
year It draws more close and stays
for a longer time; its radiance is re.
vealed to US more clearly, full Of
grace and truth.-Collier's Weekly.

Doctors nowadays don't get so
much more than they used to get.
At the beginning of the eighteenth

usually asked twice that amount. Old
Sawbones, who was only licensed
physician, couldn't very we'll expect
more than S1.66, though he usually

wanted his arm or leg cut OF 1t cost

authority shall always be superior to. the
Military?
The highest law of the land are these Con-
stitutional guarantees: they are the very
foundations Of oar civ1 and religious 1iber-
hes
In law, the Military can be summoned, as
last resource, to maintain and enforce these
liberties
1t was never contemplated by the founders
of this Government that soldiers could be
called out to abolish those liberties.
The Military was meant to be the final aid
Of the Civil authority, summoned to support
the Civil arm when all ordinary Civil pro-
cesses had been tried, and found wanting.
In that event, and as a last resort, the
Militia was to help the Civil authority main
tain itself.
The monstrous doctrine that the Military
when called out, becomes supreme, above the
Civil authority and above the Constitutions
of the States and of the United States, IS the
doctrine that caused the bloody struggles Of
the ages gone By.
That monarchical doctrine has no place in
Republic. That detestable and murderous
doctrine, is the very essence of Papaz and
Royaz despotismas, but is utterly abhorrent to
democracies.

An Easy Descent of the Hill,
Nationally.

DURING the Eighties, there was an extra
- ordinary drouth in Texas. The young
cotton , just up, was killed. The farmers had
no money to send out of the State for more
seed.
In their distress, due to Providence, they
petitioned Congress for the small sum of
Tqcenty thousand dollars, to buy another sup
ply Of planting seed.
Congress passed the bill: President Cleve-
land vetoed it,oaed did right IN doing so.
In the History of the United States, by
Professor John Fiske, Mr.. Cleveland is
praised for his courage in refusing to allow
$4,000 to be taken from the public treasury
to relieve calamity which affected some of
the people.
But see how we have changed When fire
destroys San Francisco, the Government
rushes to the relief of the sufferers. When
forest fires sweep over the Northwest, the
Government temporarily stands off the Lum-
Der Trust robbers, and allows the farmers
and villagers to buy the cheaper lumber of
Canada.
And, even now, we Democrats are lifting
a million dollars out of the public
treasury to pay for the food, etc, with which
the War Department supplied the flood suf-
ferers of the Ohio and other rivers last year.
We fed the negroes of Martinique when
they had volcanic trouble; and we built
several thousand cottages for the Italians,
when they had an earthquake.

He ordered that the children be sent to the
Romanist schools where the priest can darken
their little minds with lot Of superstitions
which even the more intelligent negroes laugh

Yet the Romanists do all in their power
to get teachers of their faith employed in

To a very large extent they have sue

But there are signs of an awakening all

But they soon changed it.

said institution to come into Court, AND
