Senator Hoar should not tryot de
prive Samson of his distinction of
Smiting the Philistines with the jaw
bone of a i ass.
If Mb. Harbison has not given a
thought to his possible renomination
for the presidency, he is freer from con-
Bern about it than are two other promi
nent gentlemen of his party. Messrs.
Reed and McKinley are giving a good
mauy quarter!) of an hour to serious
meditation on the chances of their norn
[nation.
If tiie Tall Sycamore ot the Wabash
should, as a result of his attempts to sit
on both tiie gold and silver stools at the
same time, fall between them and lose
liis seat in the senate— well, the senate
would lose a somewhat picturesque
Bgure. We regret that that about sums
up all the consequences that concern
the public.
Merciful heavens! are we to be yet
longer afflicted with those Columbiau
stamps? The regret at the passing of
the exposition was tempered with the
reflection that we were rid at last and
forever of those porous plasters, and
here comes an announcement that Mr.
Bissell has ordered the contractor to
Inllict on a forbearing but much tried
public 230,000,000 more of them.
A SHAFT of light extending into the
Western heavens attracted attention
and comment in Ohio recently. Various
explanations of it have been made, and
guesses as to its significance. These are
all erroneous, however. It was simply
a celestial warning to McKiuley to be
ware of the "good Western man" who
■will be named by the Democrats for
president in '90.
"One can iive very comfortably with
out much else about him, without a big
bank account and without office, if he
can feel that he rests in the respect of
the great body of his fellow citizens,"
said ex-President Harrison at the Union
club dinner in Philadelphia. Yes, and
lackiug that respect, of what good is
Dtfice or a big or any bank account, or
much of auythiug else of the things of
life ordinarily accounted good? No
money can buy it, no office bring it. It
comes from character only, and that
each man must slowly and patiently
build up for himself out of his everyday
actions.
The New Castle, Del., woolen mills
start up with 200 hands after two
months of idleness. The Wilson bill
does it. The Pottsville, Pa., Shoe Man
ufacturing company, employing sev
eral hundred hands, which has been
idle for mouths, starts up. The Wiison
bill does this, too. The Cambria and
Johnson Iron works, of Johnstown, Pa.,
are having brisk business and employ
C,200 men. The Wilson bill does this.
These are news items in one day's issue
of a daily paper with our comment,
■which we regard every way as well put
as is the unfailing comment of the
snarlers, that every shut-do wn is due to
the Wilson bill.
It is easy to comprehend the sym
pathetic alarm of Tom Heed and his
committee for the safety of the profits
of the railways encaged in carrying coal
from Pennsylvania mines to the seacoast
if the Wiison bill is passed and coal
coes on the free list. There is a com
munity of interest and a sympathy of
views as to the proper functions of a
government between Mr. Reed and his
party and these corporate iuterests that
maices either view with alarm any dis
turbaucc in the partnership which has
bo long existed between the govern
ment and the corporations to the bene
fit of the latter, the treasury of the Re
publican campaign committees and the
financial phlebotomiziug of the dear
people.
The difficulty of securing twelve men
to act as jurors in an important murder
trial without one or more having some
thins befall them is notable, and still
easily explained. A juror in the Meyer
tiial in New York went insane a few days
ago, and one of the jurors in the Cough
lin case at Chicago had a fit last week,
causing a temporary suspension of the
case. Cases by the score can be recalled
where trials have been Interfered
jrith by troubie with some ju
ror, until it seems as if, out
of thousands of men to select
from, twelve can scarcely be found to
Bit through a murder trial without a
mishap. The real trouble is that the
lawinsists on a juror being substantially
nn idiot iv order to be qualified to sit in
such cases. If a man has sufficient in
telligence and intellect to have an opin
ion, or to weigh evidence, he is disqual
ified, and weak-minded men are se
lected. The condition of the mind
alfects the body, and the juror minus
brains cannot withstand the strain, and
becomes a physical wreck.
Mr. Moxam, a manufacturer of steel
rails in Johnstown, Pa., is a patriot. We
use the word advisedly, aud with its old
good sense of one who loves his fellow
iuen, who are hU country. Mr. Aloxam
is dissatisfied with the tariff bill be
cause there is too much protection in it.
"If our own position, resources, efforts
and brains will notsuffice to let us live,
then 1 do not want the government hat
passed around for me and have my
neighbors help support me," he says.
There is the sturdy independence and
self-reliance of the true American in
that, and it is in a marked ami happy
contrast with the lamentations of the
Jeremiahs who declare that they caunot
get along unless h i government hat is
passed around, atiu their neighbors, not
asked, but ma c, to put of their earnings
into it to sui po t them. Mcßeth, the
"Dearl-top" lamp chimney maker of
Pittsburgh is such another one who
spurns the doctrine ot protection, and
avows his ability to meet competition
anywhere. It is the same spirit that in
spired Earle S. Youmans, of YVinona,
the lumber manufacturer, to say that if
the tariff on lumber was to give him
protection lie did not need it. and if it
was to enable him to charge the farmers
and ot! e .'consumers of lumber more for
it, then it "is an infernal outrage." It
is the presence of enough such men
that saves our Sodom from destruction.
THE LESSON OF CHRISTMAS.
Christendom wisely rejects that mor
bid and gloomy view of the proper ob
servance of these Christinas days which
would have old and young spend the
day in rapt contemplation of the tre
mendous significance of the event which
the day commemorates and of their
Individual unworthiness of the sacrifice
ending the life to which the day gave
birth, raising over each soul a cloud of
fear and doubt as it looks into the be
yond, vainly seeking to pierce the veil
which hides its mysteries.
Christendom, with all but universal
impulse, feels that in making the day a
festival of giviug it more truly com
memorates the day and better appreci
ates the significance of the wonderful
life which saw light in Galilee nearly
twenty centuries ago.
Whether we view that life from the
standpoint of the deist or the pantheist,
or from that of the devotee kneeling in
unquestioning adoration at the Christian
shrine, it appears alike to (^ach a su
preme gift, a supreme giving. It came
to mankind out of that mystery which
is greater than that of death, and whose
solution death may be, a gift to man in
all that made it greater and better than
the lives of common men. It was what
Emerson terms the letting loose on this
planet by God of a great thinker who
puts all things at risk. If nothing more,
it was the gift to humanity of another
of those supremely endowed men who
strongly move mankind to higher planes
of thought and action. From its incep
tion in the manger to its close on Cal
vary, the life of this great gift was itself
a constant giving of itself to its fellow
men, culminating in the crowning gift
when it laid down life itself for them.
It is fitting that Christendom keeps in
mind this life of self-denying giving,
and symbolizes it on the recurrence of
these birthdays of the Christ by making
it a season of gift giving. If the gifts
be not perfunctory, if they come not
from a sense of obligation or of duty, if
they come out of the heart and with each
thus goes something of the giver, the
season is one of the forces which make
for the humanizing of men, for a broad
ening of their nitures, for a closer and
a warmer touch of man with man. Of
the pleasures of life the greatest is that
which comes to the cheerful giver, for
he gets also the reflected pleasure from
the recipieut.
But in a broader way, Christmas
teaches men a lesson which all the
humanizing effects of twenty centuries
of Christianity have not served to render
wholly needless. It is the lesson of
Christ's life applied to the daily life of
men, and practiced in their relations to
their fellows and society. It is the giv
ing of some portion of one's time and
effort to the betterment of our fellows.
It is the devotion to the right, ignoring
self, exalting public good over self
good, seeking what is right and abiding
with it, regardless of consequences; the
sacrifice of something, of time or means
or effort or ease for the common benefit.
It is the resisting of temptation which
promises material gain at the cost of
right doing. It is the observance of the
injunction to be just to your fellow man,
just in your dealings, just in your
judgment, but with justice tempered by
a consciousness of our common weak
ness.
CLERKS FOR THE MEMBERS.
The house has at last laid down its
arms in the lone struggle with the
senate over the allowance of a cleric or
secretary to each senator, and evens up
by allowing each member of the house
one as well . There has been in this op
position more of the timorousness of
the politician than the resistance of
economy. Fear of the average voter,
who cannot understand why a rep
resentative should need a clerk, and
why he cannot be present in the house
and at the same time make the round of
all the departments in the city of really
magnificent and tiresome distances, and
who regards the life of his member as
one of splendidly compensated ease, has
deterred representatives from asking
what every one of them feels the con
stant need of if he is to perform his pub
lic duties and give heed to the multi
farious demands of his constituents on
his time.
"If answering those letters," said a
congressman, pointing to a basket
heaped high with letters frcm his con
stituents, "were all there is to do, I
could get through it easily, but each
letter means a visit to some department
or some one of the innumerable di
visions, and an hour's talk with some
one who either can't act or won't, or
who defers action and compeis repeated
visits. It is this that eats up my time,
and worries both mind and body, and
makes it imperative either to neglect
my work on the committees or in the
house or to offend a friend by a seem
ing neglect."
Like a great many other shadows
which alarm needlessly, this fear of
censure will melt away before the com
m6n sense of the voters when the mem
bers have the courage to approach it
and demonstrate its want of substance
by voting allowances for clerk hire.
There will be some captious criticism
by hostile and narrow partisans, but the
average man wants his representative
to be able to attend to all his duties,
whether to his constituents having in
terests in the departments or to the
public having its greater interests iv
the congress; aud if a clerk to run er
rands in the departments, get informa
tion, answer letters and take off the
member the drudgery of his work, leav
ing him free for his larger duties, is
necessary, there will be no objection to
it that any member need fear.
Where, however, the clerkship is
merely a subterfuge to provide some
newspaper with a correspondent at
Washington, either partly or wholly at
the exoense of the public, as we know
is the case iv two instances in this
state, then there is au abuse of a public
confidence which deserves severe repro
bation. If such members have no such
demand on their time as would inter
fere with their public duties in the
house, then the ■*• have no need of clerks,
aud a not very keen sense of honor
should prevent their employing one at
the public cost.even if it does advantage
the organs of their party.
One of these very organs reoe ntly de

and beams.
A ST. PAUL AUTHOR.
Franklyn W. Lee, one of the bright
newspaper workers of St. Paul, has
added to the literary laurels ho has
already won by an entertaining story
which occupies nearly one-half of
Godey's Magazine for January. It Is
entitled "Ma'mselle Paganini," aufl is
most appropriately illustrated by Leon
Durand. While it is a love story it Is
not a silly affair, but a vigorous aud
excellently written production. It
traces the career of a young orphan
girl irom a tenement house in
New York to her triumph on the
stage as a violinist both in New York
and the old world, but all the time
faithful to her love for a poet compan
ion whose acquaintance she formed at
the te.iement residence. The faithful
ness of the woman and the doubts and
fears of the at times distracted lover
are graphically dspicted. It is a pro
duction worthy of a much more widely
known author than Mr. Lee, and leaves
no room to doubt that he only needs to
continue his work and fame far beyond
his present local fi«jld, as well as fort
une, await him.
The newspaper fraternity of St. Paul
have just reason to be proud of Mr.
Lee, and the Globe predicts for him a
brilliant literary career.
A TEST OF STRENGTH.
The first round in the encounter in
the house of representatives between
the administration and anti-adinin
lstration forces on the Hawaiian
issue resulted in a decided victory for
the former. On a test vote on referring
tiie resolutions of Mr. Cockran and
Mr. Boutelle to the foreign affairs com
mittee, the government showed a ma
jority of 91. The vote was not a full
one, but was entirely representative, as
there were as many absentees belonging
to one faction as to another.
The debate that occurred on the ques
tion of reference uncovered the tactics
of the opponents of the president's
policy as to Hawaii. Mr. Boutelle was
the spokesman of the faction that will
endeavor to excuse the precipitate haste
of the Harrison administration in rush
ing through a treaty of annexation
without affording opportunity for pro
test from the people of the islands or
without listening to the case of the
queen. It was a wholly ex-parte pro
ceeding. But thirty-two days were per
mitted to elapse between the first step
taken by the conspirators in Honolulu
and the submission of the treaty of an
nexation to the senate of the United
States. It was only because of the con
stitutional difficulties in the "way of
hasty action that the infamy was not
consummated ere the people of either
country had had an opportunity to be
heard. The active agents of the con
spiracy included the U nited States
minister and many of the jingo states
men at Washington, including the then
secretary of state, and it is not entirely
manifest that the president himself was
not actively and guiltily concerned in
the transaction.
As tue matter now stands, the proba
bilities are that the committee on for
eigu affairs will submit two report?.
The majority will no doubt approve of
the course pursued by President Cleve
land, while the minority will dissent
and give its indorsement to the contem
plated grab policy of the Harrison ad
ministration. The debate on the re
ports will be an animated one, and the
public will learn much of which it is
now in ignorance regarding the means
employed to consummate the greatest
international crime in our history. The
vote of Tuesday assures not only a ma
jority report from the committee in
favor of the Cleveland policy, blit a ma
jority vote of the house sustaining it.
The moral sense of the people of .the
United States is certain to revolt against
any attempt to commit a breach of in
ternational courtesy by means so des
picable as those employed by Minister
Stevens and his co-conspirators, both at
Honolulu and Washington. Every good
citizen is anxious to promote the na
tional welfare, to exalt its dignity at
home and abroad, and to extend its in
fluence in favor of democratic govern,
ment throughout the world, and all
legitimate means toward securing these
results will have the unanimous and
hearty approval of men of all parties.
But any attempt to perpetrate a wrong,
and especially upon a weak and de
fenseless neighbor, is repugnant to our
ideas of justice and fair play, no matter
what the objects sought may be. We
cannot afford to do evil that good may
come. We can always afford to do
right, at whatever cost to pride or in
clination.
This is the doctrine broadly enunci
ated in the message of President Cleve
land with regard to Hawaii. It is the
doctrine that the Democratic party will
approve, and whatever the present dif
ferences may be, It will ultimately be
acknowledged by the whole people as
the only sound doctrine— the only doc
trine consistent with our professions,
with our theories of government, and
with our constitution and laws.
OUR NAVY AT RIO.
The action of the government in send
ing a large fleet of war vessels to Bra
zilian waters is significant of the near
approach of stirring events at Rio de
Janeiro, of whose coming the public has
as yet been but imperfectly informed.
Several of the largest and best vessels
in our navy have gone to the seat of the
revolution, and the commanding officers
have been given extraordinary instruc
tions to avoid any recognition of the
insurgents, no matter what the naval
commanders of other nations might do.
There is much difficulty in obtaining
reliable Information from Brazil. All
intelligence comes by way of Europe,
and, being filtered through prejudiced
channels, Is not always to be relied
upon. The officials of Lisbon, whence
the bulk of the news comes, are strongly
in favor of the insurgent cause, which
is supposed to be favorable to the resto
ration of the monarchy. It is conse
quently colored or distorted with a vie\?
to promoting the imperialist iuterest.
The American government has no in
terest, other than a commercial one, lh
the peudine war. This the government
is determined to protect, and has or
dered our naval officers to see to it that
no blockade instituted by the insurgent
navy shall be pormitted to Interfere
with the tree loadiue and unloading of
American merchant vessels in the har
bors of Brazil. These Instructions im
ply a forcible resistance to such Inter*
ference if it shall be attempted, and
may precipitate a conflict at any mo
ment, in which our navy would be
forced into a practical alliance with the
Peixoto government. If suck a contin
gency should ar^se— and it is by no
means improbable— there would soon
be an end to the insurrection. For the
force in command of Admiral Mello Is
greatly inferior to that at the disposal
of the American admiral, and would be
swept from existence with a rapidity
that would astonish the world.
The activity in our naval circles be
tokens the approach ot a crisis in Bra
zilian affairs. The impotency of the
insurgents has been long manifest and
intensely aggravating. While pretend
ing to establish a blockade of the Bra
zilian ports they have been powerfess
to render it effective. While maintain
ing a bombardment of the capital they
have done inconsiderable injury, scarce
interfering with the ordluary course of
business or interrupting the sooial or
official functions in the city. It has ■
been a farcical rebellion from the first— '
merely a strife by a few disappointed
men for control of affairs after they had
been repudiated by the people. The
only prestige it has had was given it on
account of its supposititious purpose of
restoring the empire. But this has not
been its declared purpose, and the in
surgent uavy has no legal status. It
rises but little above the dignity of
piracy, and the vessels and men en
gaged in it will have no cause for com
plaint if they shall be treated as pirates.
The energetic course determined upon
by our government may lead to a speedy
termination of the conflict s j long and
so absurdly maintained.
GIVE IT TO THEM STRAIGHT.
If the Democrats in the senate and
house have any spunk in them they
will take the Wilson bill and cut out of
it every trace of protection when it
comes in for action. The committee,
itself is fully justified in revising its bill
even now on the lines of revenue sim
ply. The consideration shown these
infants is Wholly wasted. They bawl
and scratch and kick at the slight de
crease in their pap as much as they will
if it is all taken away. Ridicule and
abuse are heaped on the heads of the
Democrats by all of them and their or
gans. They are denounced as dest'ruc
tionists, as incapables, as cowards, as
sneaks, as recipients of goods obtained
under false pretenses; and all because
they have been mistakenly tender of
these impudent and audacious beggars.
However much the committee have felt
bound by a consideration for conditions
they did not create, but whose existence
they felt obliged to recognize and deal
with, this torrent of abuse absolves
them from it, and leaves them tree to
redeem to the letter the pledge given to
and accepted by the majority of the
voters. If the Democrats have a spark
of manly resentment left iv them, they
will rewrite the schedules and make the
duties levied serve the single purpose
of a revenue for the government.

IN THE THEATERS.
••In Old Kentucky" Well Re
ceived.
Jacob Litt has made a hit in adding
"In Old Kentucky" to his reportoire.
The opening performance at the Grand
last night was eminently satisfactory to
the audience, which was large, consid
ering the In clement weather. The play
is somewhat on the order ot "Davy
Crockett," but is much superior to it,
in that the action is much better and
more varied.
"Iv Old Keutucky" is a happy por
trayal of the generally accepted idea of
Southern chivalry and Kentucky, as a
state of mountains and blue grass
country, filled with "moonshiners" and
lovers of the race track, family feuds,
hatred to tne death, jealousy, desperate
love and warm-hearted hospitality. The
shining thought of the dramatist makes
sentiment of chivalry to overpower all
feelings of jealousy and revenge; and
iv this respect he is very pleasing.
The character of the play is such that
it is difficult for the star to shine. How
ever, Laura Burt, who assumes the role
of Madge Brierly, daughter of a mount
taineer who has been killed in a family
feud, stands to the front with good
effect. She presents the embarrassing
situation between her love for Frank
Laysou, "a worthy son of Kentucky,"
and the consuming love for her of Joe
Lorey, "a young moonshiner," with sat
isfactory effect. Edward Holland, who
plays the part of the "worthy son of
Keutucky," is admirably adapted to his
part. Harry Mainhall, who is the
"young moonshiner," gives realistic
effects. Edward White, who assumes
the role of a mysterious person, and is,
in fact, the survivor of the family feud,
does well. And so several other per
formers might be complimented on their
work. But the public is more interested
in knowing that the entire work was
none well, ana such it was.
Joe Lorey, the younsr moonshiner, is
desperately in love with Madge. He
discovers soon that 3he loves Frank
Layson, aud is, of course, filled with a
desire to murder his successful rival. It
happens that Horace Holton, who is not
on the scene under his right name, is
the survivor of the family feud in which
Madge's father was concerned. Holton
undertakes, for a cause, to bring about
the death of Laysou at the hands of the
young moonshiner; but Lay3on does
some very honorable things which
arouse the sense of chivalry in
the breast of Joe Lorey, and Lorey
cannot muster the heart to kill him. At
length the identity of Holton comes to
light, and he meets his deserts at the
hands ot Lorey. Lorey gives up the
girl to Layson, and all enas well.
The scenic effects are excellent. When
the curtain rose for the first act the
audience gave great appiause to the
scenery alone. The pickaninny band
was called out three times, as was also
the plantation dance of negroes.
"The Girl I Left Behind Me."
Commencing with a matinee today, at
the Metropolitan, for a week's engage
ment, we are to see, what is universally
credited as being the best native drama
yet produced, "The Girl I Left Behind
Me." The play is from the pen of David
Belasco, assisted by Frar.klin Fylei.
Mr. Belasco is the author of "Men and
Women," "The Wife," "Charity Ball,"
and many other successful plays. In
"The Girl I Left Behin& Me" these au
thors have produoed a play of the most
intense heart interest, possessing all the
fervor of the njelodranja, wltUout the
usual feverish accompaniment It ap
peals to all classes, and has scored a
veritable sensation far the pa.gt two
years in all the principal cities of thlp
country. All the original Scenery anfl
surroundings from the Empire theater,
New £ork, will be se«n liere.

JANUARY MAGAZINES.
The January number of Scribner's
Magazine is worthy of the new year
upon which we are about to enter. F.
Marion Crawford concludes his papers
on "Constantinople," and the series,
both in text and illustration, has beeu
of great interest. "An Incorrigible
Poet" is the title of a clever sketch by
Bliss Perry. John Drew writes enter
tainingly of "The Actor," and of course
divulges some of the secrets of the
stage. George \V. Cable is welcomed
back to the pages of the magazine, and
a few of the initial chapters of his new
novel, "John March. Southerner," give
promise of one of the most captivating
pictures of Southern life we have had of
late years. "Stories in Stone From
Notre Dame" is descriptive, with pen
and pencil, of the grotesque statuary
that embellishes the far-famed cathe
dral. "A Rainy Afternoon," by George
A. ftibbard, is a story of power and
dramatic interest; and Frederick Kep
pel, the artist, discourses of the great
painter, Sir Joshua Reynolds. Charles
Scribner's Sons, New York.
The first and most interesting half of
Godey for January is taken up with the
new story by Franklyn W. Lee, of this
city, entitled "Ma'mselle Paganini."
Its merits have been alluded to in our
editorial columns. A Christmas story,
•'Monsieur Vigot's Diamonds." by L.
Clarkson, is full of interest, and Julius
Chambers contributes an entertaining
and beautifully illustrated tale, "The
Princess of Barren Island." Au inci
dent iv the life of Ole Bull, the great
violinist, is contributed by Herbert W.
Gxeene, and a parlor comedy, "Till
Luther Proposes," from the pen of Con
yers C. Converse, is both clever and
amusing. The several departments
devoted to the home, literature and toe
fashions are, as usual, complete and
valuable. Godey's Magazine company,
New York.
The first number of the Popular
Science Monthly for the new year is re
plete with information of value to every
man and woman in the land. The con
tributors are scientists of recognized
ability,who possess the faculty of lend
ing a popular interest to the dryest top
ics. The translation of a paper on
"The Lesal Preventives of Alcoholism,"
by M. J. Bergeron, will be of great
present concern. An article on "Sea
Sounding" is also of great popular in
terest, and is intelligently illustrated.
Frank U. Carpenter, the well-known
newspaper correspondent, has an article
on "Uucle Sam's Life-Savers," and
"Invention and Industry at the South"
furnish a theme for an admirable paper
by Barton H. Wise. D. Appieton & Co.,
