C, for transmission through the mails, as second class matfr. FRIDAY, DTC. 16, 1898. I'kK-Dici ions as to who will be the Democratic candidate for President in 1900 are premature. Whether William J. Hiyan aill "fill the bill" at that time is yet to be devrlf-ped. We believe that the paramount ibsue of the next national campaign will relate to territorial expansion and not to the financial question. But there is no need of crossing this bridge until we get to it. A gie.it improvement in the ln-altli of the army has taken place within the last two month-, as shown by the last reports to the surgeon-general fiom the field and general hospitals. The hospitals at Chiekamaug Park have been emptied and abandoned. The same is true of the division field hos pitals at Camp Hamilton, Lexing ton, Ky., and Jacksonville, Fla. The hospital train, w hich cairied nearly 1,000 sick men from the various camps to the general hos pitals, is now lying idle at Wash ington. The general hospital at Foit McPheison, (la , has only L'OO patients remaining, and reports 11'.' vacant beds. The .Josiah Simp Hon hospital at Fortress Monroe ha 400 vacant beds. The general hospital at Fort Myer, Va., has .';ro vacant beds and only Ib'vi pa tients n-in uii in:,'. The hospital at Fort;Thomas, Ky., which recently leceivcd tho s'ck fiom Camp Hamilton, reports 'Ml in hospital mid lO.'i vacant beds. Julian Ralph, who lias been for some years i'i England, writes for the December Cosmopolitan a very clever analysis of what seems to him the English ideas of a gentle man; and Mr. John Urisben Wal ker attempts to consider the American ideals. We are in the f armative stage of American man ners, and too much stress can scarcely be given to the dangers of introducing those ideas which arc least admirable in the charac ter of our English cousins. Dlitnivrrt'il ly it Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and tor seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were nu Icrmined ami death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, and was so much relieved 011 taking first -dose, that she slept all night, and with two bottles, has been ab solutely cured.

From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Dec. 12, 1898. The bill prepared by General Miles for the recognition of the army has been introduced in Con gress, but that is about as far as it will ever get, as the Hull bill, prepared largely under the direc tion of Secretary Alger, is backed by the administration and by the Republican leaders in the House, and is, unless present plans are changed, to be put through the House before the Christmas recess. The Democrats are opposed to keeping the volunteers in Kervice until the Army Reorganization IM1 becomes a law, as proposed by the administration, but their pro tests will not, it is feared, change the programme, because the de sire to get the volunteers mus tered out is counted upon to help get the votes needed to authorize the increase of the regular army to 100,000 men- The House Mili tary Committee has favorably re potted a resolution offered by Rep resentative Hay, of Virginia, a k ing the Secretary of War to inform the House what towns in Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines will have to b5 garrisoned by United States troops, the number of troops for each town aud the number that will be required at home. The Philippine problem is giv ing the Republicans no end of trouble. General Grosenor, of Ohio, is not a timid man in hand ling political questions, but he ac knowledged himself at a loss what to do with this one when he said, after discussing several of the propositions that have been made to get rid of tin islands: "For my pait, I wish the Philippines were in the bottom of the sea." Mi McKinley has allowed it to become known to his party leaders that he has no ambition to lead in a Philip pine poiicy, but will be perfectly satified to follow any policy that promies to be in accord with pub lic sentiment, with preference that it should be one that will enable us to get rid of the Philippines if it be possible to do so wit hot lay ing this country open to the charge of traflicing in human lib erty for a profit and without caus ing war. There is reason for say ing that if it had to be done over again Mr. McKinley would not demand possession of the Philippines and would save the 20,000,000 which we must pay Spain for something we do not know what to do with. But that sort of hind sight doesn't help the situation one bit. The naval clique that has been trying to keep Lieutenant Hobson from receiving attention and de served glory ever since his return from a Spanish prison has suc ceeded in getting him ordered out of the country for au indefinite period. It was discovered that Hobson was just the man needed to superintend the repairs on the Spanish gunboats sunk by Dewey In Manila bay, which have been raised and sent to Hong Kong under a contract made by Dewey. Hobson tried to get a short leave of absence to attend to some pri vate matters before going so far away but it was refused him and he was given peremptory orders to leave for Hong Kong on the steamer that sails from San Fran cisco Christmas eve. The proposition that England and the United States jointly build and coutrol the Nicaragua Canal has not met with any marked favor in Congress. The Morgan bill by which the United States will own a controlling interest in the company which will build the canal, guaranteeing therefor $100, 000,000 of the company's bonds, to be issued at the discretion of the President, is now before the Senate with the right of way. Senator Morgan, its author, says it will pass by a big majority. Demo crats generally would prefer that the canal be built directly by this government ami owned by it, but it is not regarded as a party ques tion aud each Democratic Senator will vote iu accordance with his individual views. What the House will do with this bill will depend largely upon the attitude of the administration towards it an at titude not yet clearly defined, al though Mr. McKiuley is committed in favor of building the canal. The resolutions for congressional investigation of the war have been offer-d, one by Seuator Vest and the other by Representative Sul zer, but there is little probability that either will be adopted. llenuty Is HlooJ Deep.

The Modernity of Jeroaalem Th Scene of the Jfatlvlty I noon groom Visitors In the Sacred Grotto. Chrintmai Mgbt Rltaala. "All aboard for Jerusalem, Ramleh, Artouf and the tomb of Samson !" The poet Lamartine, writing of the j Holy Land In his 'Meditations" sixty odd ! years ago, tells of buyinjr an arsenal of j jiietols, sabers and other weapons to arm 1 his company against the (Jretk pirates who Infested the archip'lapo 6ea and of . divers other danprs which made the Journey to Jerusalem full of danger and fcsCitement. Vowadays an uneventful sail on one of th Mesf-axerio's steamers bringrs one to Alexandria. Another 6top occurs at Port Sold, just long enough to take a cocktail Marred solemnly by a barkeeper in a white craat, his establishment being in a six Btory building of Iron framework, with nothing in the least oriental about it. Iben the next morning your boat is bob bing up and down in sight of Jaffa. The deck swarms with priests and eocleslastlo al travelers, representing all the countries and religions in the civilized world, and some that are not civilized, which puts tho 6ailors In a bad humor, as they be lieve that priests on board bring bad lack. Close by the sea at a short distance from the city a railway Vation stands, a little one, it is true, but genuine. It Is a strange experience indeed riding to Jerusalem behind a puffing and whis tling locomotive. After having passed through fraant gardens the line opens into a plain famous in Bible history a.- the garden of Pales tine. This was tho land of Canaan, the country of the Philistines spreading away under our eyes in the clear oriental atmos phere, bounded in the distance by the vagua blue lines of tho mountains of Ju daa. The train rushes onward, and now tho distant points of the mountains of Juda-a grow plainer. On the right in the dis tance a white point marks the tomb of Samson and a little further on a second white point, to tho left this time, is said to show the place where he was born. Finally one reaches Jerusalem, and in spite of dreams and spiritual exaltation it Is impossible to deny that the first effect Is disappointing. One passes into the Holy City through streets and avenues which resemble nothing so muoh as the unattractive thoroughfares which run out cf Paris from the tit. Ouen quarter. There is nothing in tho least oriental about them. Instead of Zion and Golgotha, one sees only red roofs and long new build ings with monotonous lines of windows which look like hospitals and orphan asy lums. Passing outside tho walls of Jerusalem one traverses the valley of Gehenna, rocs Job's well with its white cupola and then finds himself advancing up the 6lopes of Mount Zion, which stands to the left. Continuing along tho road one passes a Jewish city which was commenced by Sir Moses Montefloro with the idea that it would be inhabited by poor people of the Hebrew faith, and of late years crowds of this persecuted race have been coming to tho land of their ancestors and to this par ticular city from all parts of tho world. Arrived at Bethlehem one naturally hastens to see the scenes of tho Nativity, full of expectation and yet ready to be dis appointed. The Mount of Olives, Golgotha, tho sacred sepulchre, all were in my eyes spoiled for the want of that exquisite sim plicity which had filled my childish vi sions. Everywhere the ardor of tho faith ful has shown itself in upsetting and im proving things in a deplorable manner. Passing through the narrow and crooked street which cuts Bethlehem Into two parts one finally reaches tho extremity of tho burg and finds himself in an oblong square, which in its turn opens into an esplanade paved with stone, here and there showing openings into cisterns which served for baptisms and for ablutions among former cenerationa cf Christians. In those days it was the usage to wash be fore enterir.x tho sanctuary. A curious scene is hero on the very bor der of tho place cf tho Nativity. On one side a burial ground with white tombs, on two other sides rows of bare, high walls, like a fortress or a prison. Here and there windows pierce tho walls, but no doors. One looks about him mystified, but finally discovers a black hole in and out of which people are passing almost on all fours, so low is it. This is tho chief entry to the sanctuary of tho Nativity. Having passod through this hole, one finds himself in a large hall divided by four colonnades and surmounted by a roof flanked by heavy beams. People stand about talking and smoking, children play, Turkish soldiers 6ew up their uniforms, women give suck to their infants, fakirs offer oranges, beads and candies for sale, while Greek and Franciscan monks hurry about as if on business of pressing importance. Former ly, I am told, the Arabs used to stablo their sheep here. But this is not the stable where Jesus was born, and one is some time in discov ering it. On the left two Turkish soldiers with rifles are stretched lazily on a bench. One is asleep, the other yawns. In front cf them a circular stairway goes down to a door which seems to indicate a crypt. The door passed, one continues tho descent by a narrow staircase until he comes to two other Turkish soldiers, this time standing up, with guns on the floor, and on the left, lighted by hanging lamps, is the following insc ription : "ilio de Virglne Maria, Jesus Ciiristus, Natus Est" (here Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary). Wo are in the stable. This discovery is much of a surprise, and one's first movement is for protesta tion, for the simple reason that nothing at all like a stable is apparent. We are in a grotto. To this objection the reply is made that in olden times it was tho cus tom in Palestine to use grottos for stables. At night the Christmas service in Beth lehem begins at 10 o'clock with a pontif ical mass celebrated at the Franciscan church near the basll'.ca. The richest vestments are worn for this office, these having been presented in the name of the French republic by Marcchal MacMahon. This first ceremony is concluded about midnight, and then a long procession with candles in hand moves toward the grotto of the Nativity. First comes the cross bearer, followed by Franciscan monks and members of other religious bodies. The patriarch comes last, and directly behind him, at the head of tbe laymen, walks the French consul with his attendants. Only those who precede the patriarch carry candles, but that dignitary bears in his hand with infinite precaution a beau tiful little child in wax, which with sweet smile 6CVHJ8 almost on the point of crying out. The divine child rest In a manger on silken cushions rose colored and em broidered with gold. At its feet are clothi f ne lace, and nnder the cn-ihion Mndp z. ".u jeu, wuOw j .ojtcifig cuores eta to mind the memory of Christ's sufferings. The cortege, having traversed the tran sept of the basilica and descended into tho grotto of the patriarch, steps In front ol the spot where the child Jesu9 was born. Tht patriarch places the manger and child In the hands of one of his follpwers and Two 31 11 lion a a Year.

Then the prelate takes the child ag;iln and. placing it upon a silver star, continues tbe service with modifications of the sacred text appropriate to the occasion and the special surround ings. As the prelate says the words which tell how the Holy Mother brought Into the world her firstborn Son he takes the child again, wraps it in fine laces and chants: "And hero they wrapped it in clothes." Then he walks to the marble manger and places in it the image of the newborn child, at tho same time chanting the words: 'And here they laid it in a manger be cause there was no place for them at the inn." This service often lasts until 2 o'clock in the morning and is finished by a '"To LVum" and "God Save t!io Republic." All Bethlehem watches this night, and the people men, women and children remain until d y breaks with lighted can dles in their hands in the neighborhood of tho basilica. Everywhere one hears cries of joy and breathes the fragrance of in cense. The festivities become more and more animated as the hours wear away, and it would be difficult to estimate the quantity of candles and hard boiled eggs which are devoured by the participants during tho night. New York Herald. THE CHILDREN'S DAY. Chrlatmaa Should lie the Happiest of Their Holiday-". In every household special pains should bo taken to insure a "good time" for the little ones of the family, and in homes where there are no children the opportu nity is afforded to make it a pleasant day for some less fortunate little ones whose parents have not the means of providing gifts and a good dinner for them. Perhaps during the year that is nearly gone death has taken from your home the child God had given you and you mourn fully sit at your lonely hearth brooding over your griff, refusing to be comforted. It may cost an effort, and perhaps you feel that you cannot now endure the sound of childi.-h voices in your silent rooms, yet it will surely bring comfort to you if you throw off this feeling and invite somo children to si;cnd the day with you. In memory of your own little one, who now needs them no more, prepare a few gifts for your guests. Whatever these may be, toys or useful artir-les of which they stand in need, they will not fail to give pleasure to tho recipients. Let the dinner bo as good as you can prepare it, and the memory of it will linger long years in tho little hearts of thoso who partake of It. It may be as bread upon the waters who knows? As far as possible let the gifts be suited to tho needs of the recipient. The boy whose toes ache with cold will appreciate Warm shoes, and to the little girl who has no other head covering than a summer hat a new hood will bo welcome. A lady once remarked in my hearing that she thought it a mistake to make only gifts of wearing apparel to poor chil dren, oven if it was needed. Children, 6he said, apirociate toys, candies and nuts, or even ornamentrl gifts moro than they do clothes, and that a child would get more enjoyment out of such things, even if he went with cold feet and bare hands. Bo that as it may, each of us is able to give pleasure of some sort to some child at Christmas tlmo. Let not this joyous 6eason pass whilo we selfishly lavish gifts upon thoso whom wo have every reason to expect will return the compliment and leave unnoticed those to whom Christmas means so little more than tho name. Philadelphia Times. WOMAN'S WORK. An apt old tttage de clares that woman's work is never done. This is true of the housewife's manifold du ties and ap proximately true of the thousands who work all day in factor ies and stores and half the night in making and mending their own ft clothes or sewing for others to patch out a meagre income. Women who are too much on their feet, or who are unable to stand the strain of over-work and worry; are peculiarly susceptible to the weak nesses and irregularities that are the bane of womankind. The symptoms of such derangements are insufficient or excessive menstruation, headache, backache, neu ralgia, leucorrhoea, displacements and ex treme nervousness amounting in mauy cases to hysteria. The use of morphine is dangerous and examinations by male phy sicians are painful and unpleasant.
