But the critics are now interest. ing us by taking up other questions. ! They are discussing our postal scandals, the proofs of graft in the departments, the evidence that Senators and Repre sentatives are concerned in the land of fice steals. These cut deep because they discredit our sytem of government, and are used to bolster up the monorchical establishments against which ours was born to protest. Nevertheless, we have no kick coming, as long as these objec tors stick to the evidence and the de cisionsyellow literature is not author ity, nor the yellow papers, nor the cam paign circulars. But, if we are on the way. what of the monarchies that have arrived ? As an instance, we note that the Yi,.,,i,: from' tonight, Childhood throughout the world will be happy.

What faith what absolute faith the child has in Kris Kriujrlc! 1 kii.iw that somewhat out of place to celebrate so sacred a day by blowing horns and filling the air with rockets but it was observing the day, and each section to its notion. I have tried for some several recurr ing Christmas days to insist that t.ia Christmas jag should be cut out, but it seems that my labors are in vain. I cannot see just whv a man who is so ber and tmperate, and who is opposed iu ni isMjy as a Deverage, can make him self believe that Christmas egg-nog is the proper stuff for Christmas dav but hit many do that, 1 presumo it is none of my business. But I always in sist as I go along that what is good enough for Christmas Dav ought to be good enmurh for any other dav. And I notice so far as the jag is 'concerned many people seem to think so, too. the soul human beings who . can be moved by the same joy and gladdened by the same sunshine of the heart as will make our Christmas a time of light hearted merriment. At this festival season, then, let us put by and forget the cares and trouble OUR CHRISTMAS ISSUE. We point with just pride . to. today's Issue of the Daily Industrial News. It has over been' our purpose to present to our patrons,, not only the best paper in the Stats, but to stride to make it the best paper in the South.-and in the production of this, our Christmas num ber, we feel that our ambitions . have been realized. In order to do this it is absolutely necessary that we have the cordial co operation and support of both the read ing public and advertisers.' We invite h careful perusal of both the news mat ter and advertisements that grace our columns today and nt the same time extend to all our friends our : best wishes for a merry Christmas and a prosperous ending to -a prosperous vcar. our hearts. Let us. if onlv for the dav be as light-hearted children, loyal sub jects of the infant King; but let us re member those other subjects of this King who are not as we arc and till their hearts with joy and our King's heart with gladness and our own hearts with that sweetest peace which comes from a generous hand. And the Christmas will be truly as it should be, a time of glory to God and peace to man. gazing' impressively around the class- dear.' she an- , swered.
