counting today. The chief ruler will
shut his desk next Wednesday evening
Christmas eve. So you haven't much
time left if you plan to become mem.
Der Of the order. Many are Joining
daily, but there are still more children
to be cared for, and perhaps unless you
join today they may have Christmas

The Order of Good Fellows has only
one purpose-to make poor children
happy on Christmas morning. There
are no dues, you don't give anyone
money, and no one need know who you
are. You simply buy presents for the
number of children you can care for,

Money to Pay Troops.

A quarter Of a million dollars in
Mexican money was sent to Ojinaga by
way of Maria, Tex, to pay the federal
troops, who huve been without funds
for weeks. The buying of food on the
Texas side of the river continued, the
federals having taken over enough pro-

carry the freight, women camp follow

JUAREz, Dec. 19.-The situation in

with his rebel forces at Chihuahua, was

the northern federal forces are en-
camped, preparations continued for
what appeared to be a departure from

commander, who is to be relieved of

tended to march against chihuahua, but

Happy Christmas.

~ never spent such happy Christ

member of the order Of last year. "The
mental picture of the joy I brought to
one little home and it's five children just

never known before. You bet I am 60

I wouldn't miss the opportunity. If
Good Fellow wasn't On the job this
year I'd have gone out and hunted up
some needy children myself"
The mail man brought q stack Of
Christmas letters to Good Fellow again
yesterday. Good Fellow gots all that
come to the local postoffice. OF course,
some of them are from children whose
wishes are commands to their admiring
and prosperous parents. But Good Eel

Ask for Clothes.
One must admit that when small
children will write to Good Fellow and
ask not for toys, but for clothing, under
wear, shoes, rubbers and the like, that
they are needy. Here Is letter that

Fusion on Assemblymen and Aldermen.

Efforts to extend the fusion Of the nti-Tammany
elements in this city to include all candidates
for aldermen and Assemblymen and a Municipal
Justice candidate in the I'd District will have fallen
a little short Of complete success if outstanding
agreements for substitutions are carried out Ii
would have been remarkable if they had succeeded
entirely, since the tenacity of candidates and the
selfish maneuvres of party managers usually put
nsuperable obstacles In the way Of such impersOnal
action for the common good There are always
grasping and contrary individuals who would rather
carry good cause down to defeat than surrender
some petty personal advantage or distinction
SO far as the principle of non-partisan fusion for
municipal purposes is concerned the adermanc
contests are most directly affected by it. 1t was
natural and proper that party rivalries should be
laid aside when it came to renominating alder
men who had served the city acceptaby and were
recognized important factors in the fight against
Tammany 1t is encouraging to know that union
on such candidates has been practically secured
Mr. Curran, Mr.. Brush and Mr.. Boschen should
never have had any opposition from inside the anti
Tammany coalition. They were entitled by good
work done to the unanimous support of all the
anti-Tammany parties, and the Progressive organi-
zation was gravey at fault when it put up can

welcome return to sound principles if the purely
fractional Progressive nominees have been retired
for good.
Exactly the same logic applied to the case of
Municipal Justice Hartman. His is city office,
and he is serving on the bench by appointment 1t
is customary to renominate judicial officers SO ap-
pointed, and the Progressive managers should have
done their best TO effect union on Mr. Hartman
in order to bring about the defeat of Aaron j. evy
one Of Murphy's most conspicuous tools at Albany.
We hope that something may still be done TO throw
the support of the fusion voters to Mr. Hartman
Assembymen do not strictly within the
scope of a municipal fusion, since they are state,
not city officers But it is desirable to combine the
friends Of good government in protest against
Tammany rule at Albany whenever such comblna.

were held fusion between the Republicans and Pro-

WHEN A TEACHER MARRIES

ions expressed In one OF the most en-
lightened and intelligent newspapers IN

paper. On the contrary, everybody seems to
be strongly opposed to them. II a teacher

CURRENCY REFORM
Uncle Sam and Banker Debate the
Problem.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Uncle Sam should be ashamed Of
himself. because no matter how powerful
he is he should be straightforward and
honest aud respect the right Of the owner.
Here. thinly disguised. is his proposition
to the national banker:
Mr.. Banker / have been tinkering with
the tariff and reducing my revenues. and
/ need money. l am about to make you
proposition, and / warn .you in adj
vance that you had better accept It; other
wise I will set In motion against you the
crazy socialistic sentiment OF the day that
has been stirred up against any man who
has anything. My idea Is to establish
these reserve banks, and TO have you
put up the capital, and II you don't do
II / will run you out OF business. You
put up the money and | will control the
business OF these banks and will make
my deposits in them. Besides, l will take
IS per cent OF the profits, and leave you
the rest.
National Banker-But Uncle Sam. how
can you thus command me to make use
OF money that is not mine?
Uncle Sam-It is the peoples money.
National Banker-I beg pardon. The
money does not belong to the people as
whole. l can show you my books show
ing you exactly who put up the money
for the capital OF my bank. and as these
few persons, comparatively, put II up,
they alone> have voice as to its dis
posal and right to the profits resulting
from II. II a committee of the people
went to the Sub-Treasury and asked you
for 100000 OF the peoples money would
you give 1t to them?
Uncle Sam-Thats a different propo-
sition. That money is there for a definite
purpose.
National Banker-Well, the stockholders
OF my bank put \up their money for
definite purpose. and no one but the own-
ers have a right to defect II or to make
a profit from H.
Uncle San-Come, come. Right or
wrong. / am determined to establish these
banks and force you to put up the capt.
tai for them. Be good. and everything
will be all right. II you accept my prop
ositicn without any fuss l will then be
your friend. and when you get into tight

Heroes from the Seven Seas.

There used to be an assertion blowing about the
seven seas that the only real seamen were the
English When Frenchman German went
aboard ship all Britain held its sides with mern-
ment. Americans proved themselves at sea to the
satisfaction Of the experts all of century ago. As
for the other nations If any Of them still stood on
the doubtful list in English eyes the rescue Of the
Volturnos passengers and crew ought to set them
right for all time
1t was q strange medley Of races that manned
the boats that night. French, Germans, Russians
and English were there, at the least German boats
saved the greatest number OF lives. The Car, Of
the Russian-American line, came close behind the
Grosser Kurfirst And La Touraine had a goodly
record Why the Carmania held back remains TO
be explained. There were other British boats at
hand however, to uphold the British record for
seamanship and heroism.
A better piece Of small boat work has probably
never been recorded than these men of many ma
tons there performed A high sea running night,
and eleven ships close about a blazing hulk-neither
Marryat nor Joseph Conrad could build more
perilous scene Yet again and again the boats put
forth and apparently not mishap occurred. Who
would ask for better watermen?
There seems to be no monopoly Of the ocean
or Of heroism either.

British Dignity versus American Yellowness

There may be something in the notion that Eng
land is so lofty and magnificent in her manners and
style of doing things that poor yellow America IS
not fit to be seen in the room with her. But
we often have our doubts. There is the matter OF
advertisements, for instance
Over here we do spoil pretty scenery by atrocous
daubs But so do they In England. And here. at
least we have certain ideas Of fitness In advertising
which apparently never entered an Engshman's
brain. Nothing is sacred to the British advertiser
A theatre curtain or q magazine cover strikes him
as just the right spot from which to cry his wares
No doubt they would sell wall space in the Abbey
If the idea ever occurred to them.
Take, for egregious example the editorial page
of The Pail Mall Gazette" That exquisite, ee-
CANT organ Of the British Tory prints impressive
leaders upon the most momentous probems-sel-
dom without a Latin quotation. Yet just above its
great pronunciamento 1t is very fond of selling five
six inches Of advertising space. The blacklist of
type announces sale Of Natural Musquash Coats"
to arm herself!
May we also recall that the great "Thunderer"
itself not long ago printed large advertisements
Offering stock In a notorious Paris night resort-and
In another column delightfully."- written pieces on
Paris Bohemia toutlng the very house advertised.
The stuff was charmingly done-aDd not an English
man bnked,
comes to standards Of right and wrong and dignity
in advertising there seems to be good deal to be
said for the United States.
