k Declaration f Tar.
In view of the talk about war
there is very gTeat interest to know
how declarations of war are made.
They are all alike in matter and
nbstnce, with the change of name
necessary to let the people know
whom they arc to tight. The United
States have made but two declara
tions of war. In 17T0 we were dec
lared rebels. In lbtil war wa dec
lared n the South. There is no
declaration of war in declaring a
state of insurrection. lint in 1FJ
ami we declared war, the firs.'
declaration being againot Kiiti'mnd
and the second asainst Mexico. As
England is irpeimost m tne pres
ent war-like minds of .the people,
the declaration of is of more
luterest.
This declaration was drawn by
William Piukney, of Maryland,
then Attorney-General of the United
Statee. As adopted by Congress it
read:
An Act declariug r?ar between the
UnitM KingdyrJ of (ireat Britain
and Treland, and the dependencies
thereof, and the United States of
America and their Territories.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
Mouse of Ilepresentati ves of the
United States of America in Con
grees as sembled.
That war be and the same is
hereby declared e.Tis: between the
United Kingdor. of (ireat Britain
and Irelaud, and the dependencies
thereof and the United States of
America aud their Territories: and
that the Presideut of the
States is hereby authorized to use
the whole land and naval force of
the United States to carry the same
into effect, and to issue io private
armed vessels of the United States
commissions, or letter of marque
and general reprisal, in such form
as be shall think proper, nnd under
the seal of the United States, against
the vessels, goods and effects of the
government of the United .Kingdom

RUSSIA IS OS OUR SIDE.

Bkki.is. Dec. 2? A dispatch
from St. Petersburg to the Tage
blatt aivs that the United States
government has been sounding
Russia regarding the dispute with
Kngland, aud is said to hae receiv
ed the most favorable reply.
It is declared that the Russian
government shares President Cleve
land's views in the Venezuelan
question, and is prepared to support
tbem, at any rate diplomatically.
Lonpon." Dec. 2S The Berlin
correspondent of the Daily News
warns people against attaching too
much c edence to reports that
Russia will support President Cleveland.
"The relst ions bet ween the Rus
sian and Knglish courts." continues
the correspondent, "are much more
cordial than under Alexander Ill's
regime. Besides, the great affection
of the Czarina for the Princess of
Wales, the Czar is greatly attached
to the 0':eeu. Under a despotic gov
ernment these personal relations are
all important, and Russia has no
reason to be pleased at an increase
of America's power."
llnssiii's uttitndp tnwurd the
United ! I " n i tod States excites much curiosi
ty. The Berlin correspondent of the
Standard says on this point that
trustworthy news is at hand that
Russia had no idea of taking active
steps against Fngland, either with
or without the aid of the United
.States.
But the Vienna correspondent of
the Standard quotes a St. Peters
burg dispatch to the Xeue Frie
Pre&3, which declares that Russia
has diplomatically otferred to sup-
: port President Cleveland's views.

Christmas has again come on the
calendar and also in its varied
rounds of joy, mirth and good cheer,
the Bellair people have had their
share. There has probably been
less tire cracker demonstration, and
yet there has been plenty of that.
There has also been less drinking
and drunkenness, passing around
us, (we have no local drinking) this
holiday season than heretofore.
One thing however we la(k there
whs no Christian meeting in our
midst to celebrate this wonderful
event, "The Advent of a Savior to
a Lost World."' Surely there must
be a weak place in the Christian
community that has a church and
does not meet there and offer thanks
for the blessings sacred to us through
the coming of Christ.
The usual old time Christmas
dinners, reunions of friends, kin
dred, and also of those who desire to
become closer related, have occupied
most of the week.
The most prominent feature of
the week, in our midst, however,
was a concert arranged by our
young folks, assisted by a few who
were not of our immediate vicinity.
The program consisted ot Dia
logues, recitations, songs, etc., oc
cupying about two hours time, and
edifying and amusing the large
i audience present which numbered
more than one hundred.
All the parts were well rendered,
and some of them would do credit
to an old experienced troup.
But we must "tell tales out of
school" and here it is they had to
borrow an unfinished house to have
the concert in as we have no hall at

Christmas has come and gone

Chicago
morning of January 1, lSbC. to find
itself reformed. At midnight of the
'list instant ''.'.OoO Chicago saloons
arc to close their doors, put. up the
shutters and retire from business,
not for a few hours of rest, but as a
permanent arrangement. Eike that
celebrated timepiece which, being
two large for the shelf, stood ninety
years on theiloor, these 'i, "00 saloons
will ".-top short, never to go again."
And their stopping, however bene
ficent may be. its effects in other
directions, will not be a benefaction
to the tieasurv of that great munici
pality. For. as the license fee i.s
SoiMb this reform will cut off 1 .OOn.
ooO from the annual income of the
city.
There have been many temper
ance revivals in this country since
John li. Cough and his co-workers
started the Washi ngton ian move-
I ment, more than lilty years ago
; I i : eat numbers of saloons hae betm
, closed bv proh i bitoi v and local -p-
ion laws. But in no American
city have '.'.oop saloons been closed
on the same day, at the same hour.
I This movement i.s unprecedented,
: not oi.'ly in the number of saloons to
be retired and the amount of icve
nue involved, but in the fact that it
is undertaken by the liquor interest.
It appears that the Chicago brewers,
like' those of many other cities, have
mad', heavy investments in fitting
up saloons. Indeed, they have,
fitted up so many drinking places,
that, the business is overdone, and
they propose, on business princi
ples, to reduce the supply to some
thing like eipialiiy wit h the demand.
The change will undoubtedly re
duce the consumption of stimulants.
yibur we suspect that there will still
e ! be ample facilities for all necessary
irngal ion.
