4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: TUESDAY. December 22, 1391. CROSBY §. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR hes a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any ether paper fm the city. As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ——— ‘The poor we have always with us, but some- how their neods seem to »ppeal more touch- ingly at the Christmas season than at other times. The sentiments and customs that re- ligion and tradition have attached to the holi- day, rewinding men azd women of the great Dlessings and comforts they enjoy, incline all hearts to chsrity. Then Christmas, in ite social axpeet, ix cesentially a children's day, and tho thought of little children suffer- ing on that day has eomcthing. about it that renches the heart very quickly. {tis healthfnl to enconrogo tho sentiment of the day and to direct it into the channel where it will do most good. Asit is a children’s day it is well that children should get feom it all they can, the pleasures of receiving and the higher and more Insting pleasures of giving. It ie a good time to teach practical lessons of charity. The poor will share with those Letter off some of the materi the whole city will Lo th in view Tur Stan tuggerted yoste officials of the city reudily took gestion, something hike an organized movement to carry good cheer into homes that would otherwise be dreary and cheerless enough ou Christmas day. ‘This was to make use of the pub- lic schools. reaching neacly every Lome in the city, as a means of collecting whatever could be spared for the poor by those who have plenty. .¢ pupils of the echoole themyelves have been et to bring t® the school Luildings tomor- row morning donations of provisions, clothing or other useful eupplies. ‘The sentiment of the day makes it appropriate that this matter should De largely inthe hands of the children. Bat folks can aid in moking the move- by encouraging the children. If they have ro children through whom to coutribate they can send donations dircetly to one of the school buildings.

For a while after the independence of the United States was recognized by the mother country American diplemacy was not keyed up high all around because the resources ef the republic were few or undevel- oped and the government untricd, raw and uupromising. It was al, too, that the philosopher Jefferson and the publicist Madi- son, with their peculiar policy, should not make that impression on international affrirs as vigorous conibative statesmen not atraid of arisky fight which was produced by the first two Presidents ard eome later once. But Jefferson purchased Louisiana and Madison led assomebow out of aeecond war with Great Britain, and both checked the Mediterranean pirates Fortunately for the nation's honor fo President has ever absolutely lowered the aymbols of authority and power before foreign pressure when it was physically possible to aphold them, aithough m oue or two in- stauces the good of the republic may have been sacrificed to mistaken views of party policy br national advant. —— The situation in the province of Quebec may be described as acute. The lieutenant gov- ernor, on the finding of the royal commission of judges who investigated charges of pecula- tion against Premier Mercier and his cabinet associates, ignominionsly dismissed the cabinet, This action bas aroused flerce indignation on the part of Mercier’s friends, who belong to the © passen= liberal party, and some of them threaten to seize the government by violence. This will hardly be necessary for their vindication, as Mercier bas a large majority tn the legislature which will mect on tho 29th instant, and 18 likely to outvote the government party and sause s dissolution and an appeal to the people at the new elections Mercier having a big majority, will probably be sus- tained atjthe polls. The province is in a finan- cial Gx not at all to its credit and certainly not condneive to its happiness. There may be polities in the decision of the commission a3 there ia m the action of the licutennt gover- nor. Both parties are tarred with the same stick, for the new premier De Bourcherville, was dismissed in 1878 by the executive of that time for similar reasons to these operating in the present case. The railway contracts in Canada have long been the occasion of mach scandal in Canadian politics. ——__s+s The burning of a large steamship in mid- ocean, even with the salvation of all the peo ple on board of her, is an event of such uncom- mou occurrence and dramati2 interest ae to lift it out of the ordinary run of acct tents to those who go down to the sea inehip. The Guion liner Abyssinia was fortunate in having assist- ance in the moment of peril. Doubtless many of the missing vescels are burned at gea with their crews and passenger heard of more.
