DECEMBER 30, 1891. Ik Chili wishes to arbitrate her diffi- culty with the United States this country can hardly refuseto submit theqiiestions at issue. As we said some weeks ago, to go to war with Chili without having ex hausted every honorable means to avoid a conflict would be disgraceful to a na iton whose policy should be peace with all the earth. The New York World is in error when it says that "the name of Scanlan has been added to the lenKhtening list of clever and favorite actors who have sue climbed to the strainof stairelife." What Scanlan succomb to was the strain of a disreuutable life off the stage. The wrecks of actors better than he art strewn all along the gilded way he choose to follow, and he went not with out warning to his fate. A "Public" Trial. Several months ago one "Buck" Mur ray was tried in Michigan lor murder and convicted. He was a hardened criminal and was given a life sentence. There was no doubt of his guilt, but bis counsel carried the case to the supreme court of the sl ate on the ground that Murry did not have a "public trial" in the full meaning of the constitution, the lower court having ordered no one to be admitted to the court room who was "disorderly or uncleanly." It is a most amazing thing that a supreme court worthy of the name should have granted a new trial on this ground, but it has been done, and Murrav may now escape altogether, as it will be difficult to get together the witnesses whose testimony convicted him on the former trial. The technicalities of the law are often more powerful than the law itself. In Bad Company. The Charleston News and Courier prints three columns of criticisms ot Speaker Crisp's appointments of t lie house committees. Of those three col umns, nine out ol the nineteen papers Quoted to sustain the News and Courier's attack on Crisp are democratic papers the remainder are out-and-out republic an or mugwump or "independent." Of all these criticisms there is but one that is entitled, from the tone and sui stance of the comment, to consideration, and that is from the New York Post. It says: It is witti unlcigned regret that we make this comment upon what we con sidcr a fundamental mistake that of or ganiziug the house upon other than the lines ot de tacto party leadership. If the democrats in congress fancy that they can throw away every Atlantic stale from Maine to Virginia and yet elect a president next vcar the course is free and open. We advise them not t trv that exiierinicnt. Thev cannot find bv the most diligent search one northern state that has ever been carried on the free coinage issue when that issue was felt to be a decisive one, so that voters should really take it into their ealcul tions when going to the polls. Now, it the south wants to lorce that issue unon the north, she will get in the end what Mr. Mills predicted a tew weeks ago. Sue will lose tree coinage and tariff reform and she will get a lorce Dill anil as near an approach ;o negio supremacy as the energies of the federalgoveriiiucut, sharp ened by experience, can devise In her." This will bear thinking over, but most of the comment the News and Courlc reprints is on this order, from the St l.ouis Globe-Democrat, a republican paper: "Mr. Crisp seems to think that he was elected speaker for the purposeof making it safer to bet upon the election ol a re publican president in lSOli." We submit that the News and Courier is in small business when it reprints par tisan republican comment to condemn a democrat with. pleasure to the spectators. Christmas festivity was not sin against God or offence against morals so much as re buke to sour asceticism by the presen tation of human life in some of its bright ness and joyousness. But puritanism has passed awav. What was once unamiablc principle has become modified into indifferent custom. The northern people acquiesce, rather than participate in, the hilarities ol Christmas. The southern people, largely the descendants of those who sided with the royalists, the antagonists of the pur itans, and the dear lovers of fun and frolic, 'ind also faithful cherishers of all those traditions and customs which so endear Christmas to sentiment as well as to festivity, adhere to their old ideas of the character of the period with al most exaggerated tenacitv. Christmas at the south is still eagerly welcomed and universally observed, bv some in its true character as a Christian festival, by all as a time for the display of the kindly. cordial feeling which unites the human family for once in the year in close un selfish sympathy, by many as a period of license and inteinieranee, and by tat too many as the justification for the per petration of all kinds ol noises, hideous, barbarous, irrational. In the reckless din of tire arms, in the deafening explosion of lire works, in t lie senseless brav of horns, and in the maudlin abuses or dangerous excesses 11 the uses of intoxicating liquors, civi ization is shamed. Christianity is in sulted by the spectacle presented in too m.inv places in the south at that criod when the birth of Him who brought with Him into the world an era not only of peace and of good will but of right and rational conception of human conduct and human destiny. Heathendom might exult at the contrast even its excesses might present to the mad orgies or sense- ess pleasures of enlightened (?) Chris tians which mark the celebration of tne birthday of Him they nITcct to welcome and worship as a God, and whose ser vice they seek to impose upon all the un believing world. Hereafter the south may profit bv judicious blending of northern philoso phy or indifference, with southern fervor mil traditional habits and customs. II the one takes too little account of the very main spring of Christianity, the thcr bv its excesses runs into the other extreme ot converting what should lie a loyful memorial in'o a heathen satur nalia, amid the unbridled license ol which a heathen himsell would stand abashed and humiliated.

The Chattanooga Times says "the chief reason that Christinas has never been as popular a holiday in the north as it has been and still is in the south is owing to Puritan influence." This is true to large extent; hut not for the rea son given, which is, that it was not the birthday unniversary of the Saviour. That the precise natal day is not ob served is unquestionnlly true, because no records are preserved to fix an exact date. But as such an august event did happen, the sentiment of pious reverence acting upon the hearts of those inspired bv its momentous significance naturally demanded the observance of some fixed memorial day. The 25th of December was fixed upon as in happy consonance with human thoughts and customs, the period of the winter solstice, the period at which the dormant forms of nature make sign of waking again to life, turn ing upward again after the sun had traversed in its downward path to the lowest point of decadence. It was also the period of the year in which the north' em nations of Europe had given them selves up to the celebration of the most joyous oi their heathen festivities. It was an easy and a natural transition to them to substitute for their accustomed pagan observances the purer and more rational methods which marked the be ginning of the practice of a new and loftier faith. The English speaking people had ob served Christmas with peculiar joyous ness nntil the advent of puritanism which at once set its rigid and sour lace against all manifestation of human cheerfulness, Puritanism ignored Christmas as it did all other recognised church festivals. It affected to sec in them the perpetuatiou of pagan license, when, in reality, it only , saw the wickeduessof throwing the rays of cheerfulness upon the gloomy auster ity which it had prescribed as the rule of human conduct. It proscribed the ob servance of the merry Christmas holiday upon the same churlish principle that it proscribed bear baiting, not because it was cruelty to the bear, but that it was Kalcigh Chronicle: Thcite of the Hap-l-'emale state university is now lullv de cided upon.

Twoerosstie had Ix'en placed lietweeu the rails on the bridge in such a way that the engine of the easthound passenger train would mount them and leave the track. It hap pened, though, that a westbound freiKht train, an extra, passed half an hour be fore the easthound passenger train was due. The pilot of the freight engine ploughed under the upright ends of the crosstiesand threw them from the bridge. There was a sharp shock, but none ol the wheels were derailed, and the freight passed in safety. The section of country adjacent to Rostain's bridge is now picketed with detectives. Charlotte News.
