Nearly nineteen centuries ago there came from Heaven a messenger of peace, whose life and death taught the greatest lesson of the ages. His birth was heralded by strange events, the appearance of a brilliant star, the portents of unearthly happenings, visions to simple shepherds on the plains of Judea, angelic voices cryin; “On earth peace, on earth peace; good-will toward roen!” And though the world has steadily felt the elevating, purifying influence of the Ufe thus given to mankind for its better- ment, and has gone forward in kindliness and civilization, the nations of the earth have striven with each other continually since then, and men have slain men, and the horrors of war have darkened the history of Christianity. Thousands, tens of thous- ands, of lives have been sacrificed even in the advancement of the religion of peace, founded upon the life of Him who was born eighteen hundred and ninety-five years ago in Bethlehem. War has followed wat, and the injunction of “on earth peace” seems to have fallen on deaf ears. The day of “good-will toward men” may rever come in all its fulness, but slowly the inhabitants of the earth are growing better known to each other and are drawing closer. Tolerance and understanding have cleared the way for better cdnditions. Christianity is a striving after that high ideal of living set by Christ himself, a good and gentle life, full of forgiveness and charity, humble and earnest, pure and sweet. Lives like His are rare, indeed. Were all like His the day of universal and eternal “peace on earth” would come at last. ‘There ts the peace of contentment, the Peace of honor, the peace of humiliation. Nations composed of warlike men are not eentent with peace of any kind; they strive for the possessions of others, for the lands of other nations, and they seek tu dominate the earth by force of arms. Again the na- tion of calm and kindly people, strong in mind but weak in prowess, will sacrifice even lands and sometimes honor for the sake of peace. The mingling of men has so marked the progress of the last century or two that gradually the strong national character- istics are fading. There is more of an equal- ity between the great familles of the earth, and the sprea] of knowledge, the advance- ment of science, the union of interests by bends of sympathy, have all tended to make the people of the earth more nearly one peo- ple, and to bring more peace and more hap- piness. This great land of freedom and in- dividual liberty is at this Christmas season called upon to contemplate the remote pos- sibility of a war, a war, too, with a nation of men of common blood and common speech, and on this Day of Peace the spirit of strife is aroused in both countries. May the na- tions find a way to reach an understanding! May there be peace—not the peace of humil- tation, hut the peace of honor! —_~ 22 __ Another Railroad Junction of North and South. There appears to be a revival of the hope that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will make a combination with the Southern rati- road that will give the former a southern connection and the latter a through way to the north, with Washington as the junc- tion point. The gap between these two great systems Is a very short one, and can be spanned at a comparatively small ex- pense. Georgetown lies naturally in the way of whatever additional trackage may be necessary to complete the union of the two roads, and it Is most appropriate that the head of navigation on the Potomac, with its splendid facilities for water com- munication with the north and the south, should become the terminal of the two tems. Undoubtedly such a plan would be of great benefit to the local interests and the people of Washington have long desired its consummation as affording them a more complete railroad equipment for the inflow and outflow of their sales and purchases and as a part of the remedy for the freight blockades that periodically embarrass the local merchants. The Poto- mac shouid be spanned by a handsome bridge if the junction should become a fact, and the construction and equipment of the rdmds where they touch the city should be made thoroughly modern in order to prevent a repetition of the grave evils through unguarded grade crossings that have marked the entry of railroads into other parts of the capital. —_—__~ e+ A ’96 Christmas Gift to Washington. Some time this winter the wise men of Congress ought to get together and plan to give the people of the District of Co- lumbia a handsome present next Christ- Mas day In all justice this should be dore without any reference to the seasons or the appropriateness of the gift, for the Christmas present that The Star has in mind as being decidedly acceptable is a new municipal building, which has been “Just what was needed” for many years. A bill passed at this session providing for the erection somewhere on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue of a commodious and artistic structure would probably be- gin to have its practical effect about a year hence, and it would be a gala day for the citizens of Washington if on Christ- mas cay, 18%, they could assemble and make merry over the first spadeful of earth taken from the site of this greatly desired civic home. It may be said that it would not be altogether an unmixed act of generosity for Congress to provide such legislation in view of the fact that the District will pay one-half of the cost of such a Christmas gift, but inasmuch as even this share of the expense cannot be raised by the citizens without the authority of Congress and the action of the govern- ment in supplementing it with an equal amount, the enactment of an appropria- tion would be accepted In a spirit of hearty good will and thankfulness by the people of the District. —_ +e —__ The garbage crematory has for some time been a burning issue in this commu- nity, excepting in the direct practical sense. —___ ee —___ A merry Christmas to the new post office. It goes without saying that there will be “many of them.” ——_ + ee —___ The Way to Ensure Pence. American divines and operators in stocks say to President end Congress there must be no war. English divines and commercial interests say to Salisbury there must be no war. If Salisbury ignores the possibilities of war and, unmcved by the appeals of the English peace party, adheres stubbornly to his refusal elther to come to an amicable #greement with Venezuela or to submit the sboundary dispute to impartial arbitration, and"if our boundary commission after de- Mberate investigation reports to our gov- ernment that England is acquiring by force South American soil, and if England contin- ues to hold by force of arms the territory thus unlawfully acquired, then the Congress ot the United States must say whether it agrees with the President that British gression must be resisted by our arm 3, if that be necessary to check the aggressor. Consideration even of the question of a dec- laration of war by the American Congress is thus removed from the present time by the space of three ifs, the first of which will not, it is believed, be passed. It is to be remembered that Salisbury has intimated to the United States that under no condition of facts is the Venezuelan boundary a mat- ter of concern to the United States, and has rejected the American suggestion that the whole controversy be submitted to impartial arbitration. Let the peace elements address themselves as a primary task to the modi- fication of Salisbury’s position which pre- fers war to arbitration. In response to Salisbury's contemptuous declaration the President and Congress of the United States, who represent the people in all matters pertaining to war and peace, have indicated uranimously that there are conditions un- der which the Venezuelan boundary may be @ matter of concern to the United States, and that we will seek immediately to dis- cover whether those conditions exist. But there is nothing now at issue and nothing that can arise in the future in the Venez- uelan controversy that: this peace-loving nation will not gladly have arbitrated. The United States by the unanimous voice of all branches of its government has laid down a broad principle. The people do not want to fight England or anybody else, but they will adhere to this principle. Let the peace associations and the divines, the stock speculators and the candidates for the English poet-laureateship level their reso- lutions, their denunciations, and their verses at the English premier who threatens the two nations with the possibillties of war rather than submit an English claim to American soil to impartial arbitration. ——_ + ___ The Sennte’s Gift to the South. It was appropriate for the Senate to pass, on the day before Christmias, the bill per- mitting ex-Confederates to ‘enter the army and navy of the United States. The men who fought for the south in the civil war and survived that conflict have entered every line of public life. They have become offi- clals of town, city, county and state; they have come to both branches of the national legislature, and they have even entered the President's cabinet. They serve in the Na- tional Guard, and their voice is always strong for a patriotic defense of the liber- ties and principles of the nation’s peop.e. The war closed over thirty years ago—the exact lapse of time is yet matter of contro- versy—and the wounds caused by the strife between the sections of the country have gradually healed until the nation is now thoroughly reunited and sound. No official action could do more to efface completely the last scar left on the body politic by the struggle than this simple act of generosity, that permits the people of the southland who once took up arms against the govern- ment to enroll themselves in the ranks of the country’s defenders. The hope is that there will be no need of fighters during the remaining years of the lives of the men whom such a law would affect. There are mew comparatively few survivors of the confederate army who are physically quali- fied to enter the army in active capacities, so that even in the event of war, the act, if it should become a law, would be of httle practical utility. It is thus rather a senti- mental matter, but the action of the Sen- ate, which should be speedily followed by the concurrence of the House and the ap- Proval of the President, will doubtless pro- duce a most wholesome effect in all sections of the country. The men directly affected by the legislation will surely appreciate the Christmas present of confidence tendered them by the Senate, whether or not there is ever any occasion for them to take ad- vantage of It. A communication printed elsewhere in ‘The Star shows that the Associated Chari- ties, though non-relief-giving on general principles, has already arranged to supply immediate temporary relief through alms in urgent cases, and is hoping and planning to provide relief through work “to all those who are able to work and who have others dependent upon them who are suffering from cold or hunger.’ The Star considers wise these extensions of the organization's announced program, and trusts that it will push forward vigorously on these lines. — +--+ ___ General Coxey sees in the revival of the Venezuelan question a scheme to incréase the army and navy, with a view to using them in the interests of capital. Contrary to the hopes of his charitable well-wishers, the general Is rapidly progressing toward the condition where “seeing things” be- comes chronic. —__-_. It cannot be any great satisfaction to London financiers to observe that the American stocks which they dumped into the market cannot be bought except at an advanced figure. ——_ e = —____ It is to be expected that Santa Claus took the navy into consideration in appor- tioning his benefactions for the year. ——__+« SHOOTING STARS, > ——_ Not to Be Thought Of. “Woodman, spare that tree, Touch not a single bough!” .
