He Its a Randall Democrat And Slav Hide Wltb Tile Rcpnbll. canti, out Probably Not-WUere Vance Stands. Washington, Dec. 27. What the Sen ate will do with the tariff is coming to be a question of some moment now that it is realized that probably only a little more than a month will elapse before the bill providing for its change shall reach the body. The Democratic members of the finance committee have already gone far enough to know that it is going to be very difficult for them to harmonize views which are in some respects widely conflicting. The Democratic membership of the Senate committee on filfance, composed as it is of senators front all sections of the country, as far east as New Jersey and as far west as Missouri, and includ ing representatives from Indiana, Ten nessee, North Carolina and Arkansas, naturallv presents all the varvine shades of sentiment on this subject held in the parly. senator Mcl'herson has been known for years as a Randall Democrat, and his friends intimate that he finds manv objtctional features in the bill. Senator ones, of Arkansas, believes absolutely in a tariff fur revenue and for no other purpose, and does not consider that pro tect inn is constitutional. Senators Mar is, Vest and Vance, it is safe to say, will advocate the retention of the Wilson bill. Such a thing miuht happen as Sena tor McPherson. joining with the Repub licans, and thus taking the question out of the hands of the Demociatic majority of tbe committee, but that is not proba ble under the circumstances. Strong pressure may be brought upon him from us own Stp.te to pursue this course, but the wishes of the President will be a strong factor with the New Jersey Sena tor. Furthermore, he is a man who alwavs prefers to make his fight within he lines of his own partv. THK LKHbONM OF IT. BOX IMS AXD CHOCOLATES. SRLLINfl AGENTS FOR ASHBVILLB.

Editor Tun Citizen : Recently at Cartel's warehouse a farmer's horse bad one of its forelegs broken by a kick from another horse. A rough attempt was made to spliut the broken leg, and then the farmer gave, or sold, the horse to a ro. In a day or two the negro gave the horse to another negro., Tlie horse remained in a stall of the warehouse for 10 days, standing on three legs. The broken leg swelled and the cords of the splint cut deeply into the flesh, causing it to bleed and mortify. During all this time the horse had very ittlc to eat or to drink. Finally some one reported the case to Dr. Ballard as a member of the Society for the Preven tion of Crueltv to Animals. The doctor wer.t at once to the negro's house and left word that the horse must at once nave proper surgical treatment and be otherwise properly cared for or be killed. As soon as the negro secured he message he went to the doctor's house and expressed his willingness that the horse be killed. The doctor there upon requt sted thechief of police to have the horse killed, and it was speedily shot by the sanitary inspector. That officer of his own motion made complaint against the negro owner for cruelty to animals. He was tried belore usticc Carter and fined ten dollars. Subse quently that magistrate tempered his ustice with more mercy anu reduced the penalty to five dollars, including both line and costs. Three comments are pertinent. The farmer is tuiltv morally of no small offence in thus deserting iu adversity his helpless servant. People who know of suffering of animals or cruelty ought without delay to report such cases to the Society or to the police authorities. The society ought to be better sustained in ts work, so teat it could ailord to em ploy paid service. Member S. i: C. A. BOONK W AM DKUNK. IT PUTS WINGS ON A BET Happy Times Por Sunday Hcliool Children I.aat Evening, The North Asheville M. E. church. South, was packed last evening on the occasion of the Christmas tree given to the members of the Sunday school. The exercises preliminary to the event of the evening, the distribution of the gifts, consisted of singing and recitations that were very entertaining, several of the recitations by the children being remark ably well rendered. When this portion! of -the program was concluded, Mr. Johnson, who had charge of the exer cises, announced that he had expected the presents would be given out, but there was nothing to that effect on the program which he held in his hand. juvenile hearts were beginning to feel a disappointment, when the joke was ex posed by superintendent John H. Weaver, who took charge of the tree, and the children were happy again. A ttee, the top ot wnose branches brushed the ceil ing, was bending beneath a load of presents that carried happiness to every recipient. It was a very enjovable enter tainment to young and old alike. A very commendable feature was the taking to the church, bv those who attended, gifts for the poor, to be distributed by the charity and help committee of the Ep- worth League ot this church. A holly tree of great size, covered with presents, was the main attraction that drew out a crowd of members and friends of the Sunday school of Riverside M. E. church. South, that packed the church to the doors last evening. An other attraction was a program of pleas ing music and recitations, and a talk by Wm. turner, superintendent ot the school. The music was under the direc tion of Fitch Taylor. A solo was sung bv Mrs. Hudson, and Mr. Taylor read an appropriate story. A number of the children gave recitations in excellent style, and throughout the exercises were very attractive. 1 lie Christmas tree was then attacked by the committee in charge and it had soon yielded up its gilts to the members of the school. It was a happy occasion, and one that will long be remembered by those who were there. HAPPT WAIFS MirCHEWS FLORIDA ARRIVAL II DOES THAT.

Into m Ttieir Christmas Tree Given Bv The Flower Mlnstoii VesieidiT. There was joy in many a little heart in the central office of the FlowerMission in the city hall yesterday afternoon when the waifs' Christmas tree gave forth its presents to those whose Christinas is ordinarily not ol the brightness that surrounds the Christmas of the children of thoe parents who are possessed of a plenitude of this world's goods. A hand some tree nodded its gift-laden branches in joyful welcome to the tots for whom it had been prepared, evoking exclama tions of delight over the scene. The exercises were under the direction of the Mission secretary. Mis3 Mary Collins, Mrs. Wm. Ward and Miss Con nie White, who were assisted in the dis tribution of presents by Ida Mitchell, Mary Ward und Kdward Mitchell. To each ot the waifs were given packages of candies, fruits and nuts, and toys. Each girl also received a doll, while the boys were given tics and books. The dolls were sent here by Miss Chester, president of the Mission, who is now in the North, and were prettily dressed. Besides these presents, each family represented in the waifs' gathering was given a buudle of clothing that will be welcome when win ter s winds begin to howl. About 40 of the waifs were at the tree and there was plenty for all. It was a red letter day fir the little poor, who went away with arms full and hearts dancing with delight, and another generous action by the Flower Mission, which has done and is still doing a great work in aiding Asheville's needy.
