Christmas Tide. Before another issue of The Gleaner Christmas will have come and we will be in the midst ot the holidays, and we wish every one much joy and happiness. Let us hope that all will observe the festive occasion in a proper and becoming manner. : . And now lust a word to our patrons : It is a good business rule to settle old scores at least once a year, and we invite all who owe The Gleakeb anything on sub scription or any other account to call and settle before the old year expires and the same will be greatly appreciated. Hood Meeting:. Owing to their being two dates mentioned for a road meeting, very law came out last Saturday. How ever some of our most substantial citisens came. It is well, as none of the speakers were able to get here. -On the 81st it is hoped to have speakers present and the people should make it convenient to be on hand. The question of more per manent highways should concern every good citizen. - - It was heard from every stump where Republican-fusion speakots orated during the Inst campaign that fur the first .time during the history of the institution the penitentiary had been mad self-supporting during the last administration. f'ow it turns out that Treasurer Worth has advanced a large sum, not less than $50,000, to keep the institution agoing Treat. Worth will not say how much he hoalct'Supt. Mcwborno have. Now Mr. Worth ought not to have maintained a saintly silence while his political colleague were going up and down the State telling the people the penitentiary was self- sustaining. - . President McKinley returned to Washington from his Southern tour Tuesday. ; Ho was received with open-hand hospitality. At the Peace Jubilee last Wednesday, at Atlanta as well as other points he made speech which breathed kindly feeling for the South. Some of his remarks have been excepted by the ultra Northerners. In an other issue we will reproduce some extracts mat have causou more or less talk. : Sonator Marion Butler has in troduced an amendment to the pension appropriation bill provid ing for pensioning Confederate sol diers and those dependent upon them the same as Fedora! soldiers.

The board increased the valuation of railway and tele graph property $4,402,768 'during the present year, in which the rail ways acquiesced. It also, forbade special rates, rebates, etc., and says Ibis order is being thoroughly obey ed. Telephone rates were reduced. The express companies wen made to pay the stamp tax, but the at- tvuipt h)m mo teicgrnpn com panies do bo failed. The rate of passenger &re on the Wilmington and Weldon railway was reduced to 2 and 2 cents per mile from 3J snd 2 cents, and the matter is now in the federal courts. The assessed valuation of all railway property is 132,522,021 ; telegraph companic, cf which there are fourteen, $893, 610; and steamboat companies, 13,437. committees representing the M.

Senator Vest made a spirited at tack on the evils of the present pen sion system, saying that the gov ernment had fallen into "a most in quitous expenditure by its ill-ad vised legislation and through polit ical influence," and was now act ingmnr Bortuf tselitlcalneeldBnt iw- surance company. He declared that he did not wish to deprive sinele honest applicant- of his pea sion, but he did wish to have the abuses stopped. Hfr said that al- though Illinois had furnished 65, 000 more soldiers for the civil war than Indiana did that the pension payments in Indiana exceeded those n Ilinos bv ll.500.WO. and charged that the reason was that In diana is a privotal state politically and that it was a notorious fact that pensions had been granted to almost every applicant in districts that were close. The Lodge Immigration bill -i thought to have received its death blow, this week, : when the House, by a majority vote declined to take it from the Speaker's table, where it has been since it passed the Sen ate, tarlv in the last session. This makes twice that the House has re fused to take the bill up, nnd it is regarded as very doubtful whether its friends will make- another at tempt. Representative DeArmond, of Mo., had the pleasure of nagging Czar Reed into makings speech this week. The incident was started by Representative Grow, of ra., a re publican, making a speech attacking the gag rules the of House. Mr. DoArmond then took the floor and charged that Reed had 'compelled tlie committe on Rules to refrain from reporting a new set of rules, in order that the rules of the last House, supposed to have been adopted temporarily at last yearV extra session, might continue in force. Mr. Reed tried to wriggle out by being funny. He made the Hoiiho lniiL-h nny clown could do that but he didn't convince, any body. Col. Bryan js in Washington con ferring with tho democratic leaders in Congress. When Boss I'latt was asked whether anything else besides the demands of his private business had influenced Secretary Bliss to resign tho portfolio of Secretary of the In terior, he could hardly keep his face straight. He didn't answer the question, in words ; he wasn't ex pected to. Bliss was taken into the Cabinet to head oil demands made by Piatt, and he has been used- for tho snme'purpose at various times since. So Piatt isn't grieving over his resig .utioii. Instead, it is alto gether probablo that Plait has done his part to push along lLo putty an noyanccs wuicn navo resulted in convincing Mr. Bliss that his private business needs his attention. While it is not likely that the resignation of Mr. T.V.&3 was brought about by any open rupture, it was probably the culmination of disss ti (action be cause of a thousand and one little things, no one of which Is important enough to be assigned na Treason for resignation. It has been .an open secret in Washington that Mr. Bliss didn't like his job.-- Representative Bailey, of Texas, has made a statement, concerning his attitude towardscn'.-Wheeler and three other members of the Houso who hold commissions in the volunteer army. II quotes section 6 of Article 4, of the Constitution. "That no person holding any office under tho U. S. shall be a member of either House during his ', con tinuance in office" and cites two eases in which the House decided members to hare forfeited seats, one by accepting a major's commission in the District of Columbia Militia. and the other, by becoming Colonel of a volunteer regiment, -in the Mexican war. Mr. Bailey thus de fines bis own position ; " "I am one of those who believe that it it the highest duty of every man to obey the law and to respect the Constitu tion; and have little patience with the week suggestion that a mem! er of Congress shall shrink fruin bis sworn duty because public senti ment would allow a brave and dis tinguished man to hold tiro high offices, even though it be against the Constitution of our country." Another phaae of the same question is now being discus&cl ii the Sen ate the Constitutional right of Senators to set re s government or Presidential Commissioners, Senctor Turpie never minroa words when he has anything to say. He favors the Nicaragua Canal, but dots not favor letting the Maritime Canal Co! have anything to do with its construction. In the course of a shoit apev ih advising the postpone ment of action oj the question until the report of the Commission, sent over io iavtstisate, is submits i to Congress, Mr. Turpie nid that the object of the Maritime Canal Co. was not to cut a car.al, but "to cut a channel of communication at the least possible cost between the Treasury of the U. S. and the emp ty cutlers of that beggarly csrpora tion." : :f Senator ' Berry; has offered ; an amendment to the Nicaragua Canal bill, providing for direct appropria tion of money to construct the canal instead of guaranteeing interest- bearir.g bonds, and to limit the cost to $115,000,000, and stated' that Senator Morgan was willing to ac cept the amendment so far as it re lated to appropriating money in stead of Issuing bonds. Senator Rawlins lids offered an amendment to the bill providing that the act shall not go into effect until. the U. S. secures by treaty the light to fortify an J garrison the canal, (o send armed vessels and munitions of war through it in time of war, and to close it against any other nation with which Ihe U. 8. may be - at war. Judge Battle Cheered. ClwrloturObaerver. Dee. ttln. The joy of the people of North Carolina in the .Democratic victory of the 8lh of November is con tinuous. There is evidence of this in the numerous celebrations of it which have been held in the State. There was quite remarkable proof of it in Charlotte yesterday in the feet that as Judge Dossey Battle entered the court house, to open his Ant court here, the people took oh? their hats and cheered him. It is doubt ful if there was ever a similar dem onstration in the State before. Again last night, as Judge .Battle entered the opera house, he was ap plauded. Both have been very gratifying to him, as an individual and as a Democrat. His charge to tie grand jury was, in part, as follower" : When our system of government and courts were in" their infancy it was necessary that grand . juries should be instructed at length with regard to their peculiar duties, but such elaboration is not necessary now. The criminal law of the land is fairly familiar to us all now. It is well, however, to impress on the gr.ri'1 juries oi onr country wnat a high and holy trust theirs is, and how the welfare of the community and personal security and property rights are secured and safeguarded when their duty is rightly and rigidly performed. Our constitution declares that the criminal can only be made to answer for his crimo upon indict ment, presentment, or impeach ment. You must sturt the machin ery provoked by tho law, otherwise the guilty may go unpunished. "There is no more solemn oath than the one you have taken. You shall diligently inquire, and earn eitlv and honestly look into and seek a Tier all such matters as shall be given you in charge, and true presentment make, of our find ings. "Envy, hatred and malice find no abiding place in the grand jury room. You cannot use your posi tion to- punish enemies or avenge grudges. You should not be ac tuated by fear, favor, affection, re ward or hope of reward; lou are too thoroughly impartial. You see the sat, not the aetor j the sin, not thesinnct r'and. you cannot com promise with yourunderstanding. "Our jurisprudence is the- perfec tion of human reason up .to date. The jury system was the achieve ment of our Anglo-Saxon forefathers, who 'had the will to do and to dare.' Magna Charts declares that 'no freeman shall be taken or imprison ed, unless by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land. From this is derived the pro- Vision in the constitution of the Un ited States : 'That no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop erty without due process cf law.' Show thst yon are - true sons of Worthy ancestors, so that ire may preserve for onr children, in all their puiity and force, the rights wrested from kings by oor valorous Anglo Saxon aires." Of tho wrongs to women he said : "The' chivalry of our Stale has thrown many safeguardsjtro'und our women, and the law, desiring to piofcct fiem njpinrt the baser ele ment of mankind, has made slan-1 tier and seduction, grave otTetwi A w.oman'e character is l:ke a pane of glass, even a brr .th may a.lV it." y , j Inicsp. ctto c nelly to animals be arid: "Find me a roan who Is cud to ht animals, and I w'H show you a man who 's cruel to the human speciev In. olden t:m'v butchers were not allowed to 'sit on jur'.e j because of their fondness for blood." AT the members of the bar w ere present to hear the charge, which was "4iened to attentively and en- jpycj by the jury, hwyert and spcc'aldr.

In a letter to his mother, lieutcn ant Herbert Hiwhinger, of Company A, First North Carolina, gives the following account of the landing of the regiment in Havana: C:- V "Our parade was unannounced, but the moment we. left the dock and the band struck up crowds be gan to gather. : I have never before seen such a demonstration as was given the First North Carolina Reg iment, the first troops to carry Old Glory through Havana. The streets, housetops and porches' were crowd ed with a screaming multitude. Cuban and Amorican" flags were frantically waved, the .first lime the Cuban flag had been openly dis played here, nnd if there was any anii? American spirit inlhe rowd, it was not shown. Enthusiastic Cubans rushed into the streets, shaking hands wi.h the 'soldiers and slapping them on the bock, but the most touching sight I saw in the whole crowd was art old (Cuban senora, on her doorstep with "tears in . her Sfis, and calling God's . . . .. ... . i 1 blessings upon the v Americanos."
