Christmas appeals to the best there ts in mankind. It stirs the religious sentiments ard stimulates gener It promotes peace and happiness and brings to the sur- face all the latent goodness of the race. +, aside from its history and deeper nee, the day is of great valve. The loosening of the bonds of selfishness that tie down the charitabie impulses in many breasts, even though it occurs at such rare als as once a year, is yet a blessing saving grace. These are not the most optimistic con- siderations Inspired by Christmas. They recognize the fact that the world is In a hurry snd that it yields too readily to its scifish tendencies in moments of relaxation. But the spirit of Christmas tide goes fur- ther, for it brings more than a mere coun- ion of evil. It fs a positive influence at and lasting gain for the better- ment of all. It gives the devout the breath of a new life in the fight against sin, and it is st gthening to feel that each suc- ling celebration of the birth of Him who embodied Hl that is good and pure and holy in Ife leaves the world nearer the Mieal that He set in the hearts of men. His influence, coming down the centuries With an accumulating force, has wrought steadily for peace, for the calming of hu- man passions and the arbitrament of dif- ferences between men and nations by ap- to reason rather than to force. us Christmas comes to be a world’s wal, a day of recognition of that standard of right living that must be Lot erved in full view of all races and if the process of moral improvement ue. to conti The symbols of the occa- the rest from labor, the services of and so im the sanctuaries, the ex- change of gifts and greetings, and the of those products of Na- live in their beautiful green through the winter's snows— but the externals of the sentiment orld’s soul today, phrased age: “On Earth peace, toward* men.” — ess, Not Politics, ture that freshness usd iow. position in certain quarters ent and give partisan color to on the tariff question ap- ways and means committee. are revived, and made to the flocking to Wash- s and agents of ins on campaiga con- and all that.

The informa- d@ must come from those most estion. and that from “ busine: with the ‘ness situation; in ether words, from business men them- selves The ways and means committee does no n's bidding in the premises. It hears es of all the different indus- collects a great deal of valu- able information bearing on the work it has ia han This then is carefully sifted, and the new bill grows out of the win- nowed data. There is no other way by wh @ new tariff bill could be so intel- ligently or so satisfactorily prepared. Much is always allowed for partisan ex- aggeration during a hotly contested fight. Stump speakers on either side are apt to draw on the superlatives in their vocabulary in characterizing the policy of the opposi- tion. But all of that should cease when the campaign closes. The most “absurd thing is to go on employing the language of the stump after the excitement is over. When the people have rendered their decision, and the w they have ordered begins, cheap denunciation and cheaper misrepresentation are wholly out of place. It is not at all likely, however, that any- body will be deterred from presenting him- self here because of these tactics. As all legitimate business interests are more or less involved, all should be represented. The desire is to make this revision of the tariff so complete that the work will stand for a long time: and in order that this end may be attained the ways and means com- mittee should be favored with the fuliest information on all matters directly or even remotely in interest. ee _____ There is a very near approach to a con- sensus of opinion between the legal au- thorities who suspect that the so-called slove-contest Is in reality a prize-fight, and the sporting people who complain that the average prize-fight is merely a glove-con- test. ——_~++2____ The amount of advertising that Liliuo- kalani has received is responsible for a suspicion that her trip is for the purpose of entering herself as a student in one of our numerous actress manufactories. ——__~+ e+ — There seems to be a decided difference of opinion between two sets of people as to whether coal ought to be ranked as a lux- ury or a One flaw in the holiday cheer is the fact that Cuba is obliged to defer her merry Christmas. The People With Congress. The friends of Spain in the United States cannot hope to advance their cause by abuse of Congress. Some of them are evi- dently of the other opinion, and are throw- ing much soulful vituperation into the ef- fort. But it is an old game, and it has of- ten failed. It will fail again. There are people who upon finding them- selves out of touch with Congress seem to have little difficulty in persuading them- selves that that body of late years has sad- ly deteriorated. According to them, it is 2 sad mess the people make these days in choosing thelr Senators and Representa- tives to legislate for the country’s good. Capable men, broad men, really patriotic men, are no longer obtainable for the ser- vice. The great men are all dead—or else are engaged in private pursuits. Only little feliows can be induced to put on the con- gressional harness now. The result is that all important questions are botched. No- thing goes right. Selfishness prevails in this matter, and an ignorant bumptious- ness in that. This sort of thing fs as old as creation. “Men have always wept a golden age Geparted.” The perfect Congress is al- Ways the Congress that {s no more. But, as a matter of fact, the perfect Congress has never assembled at this capital, and never will. There is never In everyday af- fairs a call for such @ body. Congress in ary year represents the spirit of the times. The present Congress, in both branches, averages exceedingly. well. There are men of a very high order of legislative capacity in each branch. There are constitutional lawyers In either branch capable of sustaining themselves in con- test before any tribunal with the pick of the country outside of Congress. It is absolutely untrue to assert that in this matter of Cuba Congress has no war- rant from the country for the sympathy it is manifesting for the insurgents. That is the very basis of its action. it would néver have thought of going so far. If the people of the United States are not in sympathy with Cuba they have be- lied themselves, and that is entirely out of the question. At public meetings, and through both the press and the pulpit, in all sections, they have expresssed them- selves in the p!ainest terms in favor of Cu- ban independence. Never for war with Spain, of course. They are not in favor of that now. But for the independence of Cuba—for the right of the people of that island to be free from tyrannical taxation and other forms of Spanish oppression—the people of this country have repeatedly registered their feelings of approval. Let the record be kept straight far as the question of independence te is concerned, the people are with Cofgress and not with the President. If Congress is degenerate, the authority behind it Is de- generate. But neither is degenerate. ——————— New York Politics. The program for the organization of the municipality of the greater New York fully explains not only the return of Richard Croker to the country, but the strenuous activity of Thomas C. Platt to hold fast to all that good fortune has given him. A great fight for local control is approaching, and the prize is the largest and most valuable ever contended for over there. The advantage at the start will be with the republicans. They are in full control at Albany, and in partial possession already of tne city, and much of the preliminary work connected with the new movement will be shaped by them. Mr. Platt’s hand will of course be promirent. In work of that kind his is a master hand. One of his objects is likely to be to strengthen the sitvaticn for 1900 for the republicans, and figure in the national campaign of that year a little more prominently bimself thau he was able to do this year. Mr. Croker’s job is in every way difficult. His forces are all divided and discouraged. Tammany today is out in the cold, a shiver- ing and discredited creature. Its fortunes in thirty years have not been at a lower ebb. So that the bess not only confronts a triumphant party, but has only at present to oppose to it a broken column. Can he build Tammany up again in time for the fray? ‘hat is his task. If he cannot do that, he cannot hope to win. It is thought not improbable that Mr. Hill may take a hand in this fight. It is hardly a local fight. So much is at stake that the democracy of the whole state is interested, and this may call into the field all of the local leaders. Platt and Black against Hill and Croker, with a great prize in the foreground and 1900 in the back- grour.d, ought to insure a lively engage- Teent. ——_~+-____ Boston now gives notice that she felici- tates herself upon the fact that the inter- Tuption of homogeneity in sentiment o1 employers and employed which led to in- terference in electrical transportation along her more or less tortuous thoroughfares is no longer extant—or words to that effect. ——_ = «= Somebody should have been sufficiently thoughtful to present Mr. Weyler today with a box of stationery and a sheet of postage stamps. —— ~>++e—____ Corbett and Fitzsimmons contemplate with surprise the slowness of nations to realize that it is always better to arbitrate than to fight. ———_+-____ Mr. Croker would no doubt have enjoyed continuing his European recreations; but he feels that he is in need of his country. ——_++e —____ One of the greatest dangers about klep- tomania is its extreme liability to be mis- taken, for something else. —————++2s—____ SHOOTING STARS. The Shifting of the Crowd. “Well,” remarked the theatrical manager, “Christmas is here at last.” “Yes,” replied the treasurer. “I suppose we can now take back our ‘Standing Room Only’ sign from the big department store that borrowed it.” Prevarication, at Least.

Doing His Bes: He was a new clerk in the big retail es- tablishment, and he was anxious to make @ record as a salesman. A young women inquired: ‘Can you let me look at some safety bi- cycles?” He turned away to get information about the stock, und, returning, said, with a win- some smile: “I'm very sorry, miss, but we're out of safety bicycles. But we have some fine safety matches.” A Holiday Embarrassment. A gift he bought. ‘The cost was small. He vainly tried to hide it.

From “Holland's” Letter, Philadelphia Press. It has teken some years to demonstrate that it is possible to construct an under- ground trolley plant which will be service- able and economical. In other cities, where service is not very heavy, such plants have been established, but. the fear in’ New York was that with the great traffic and with the considerable expense entailed in opening streets, and the serious interrup- tions which might occur by the filling of the underground channel with sleet or snow, the system would not be commercial- ly available. But it has won the day. While we cannot have overhead ti in New York we shall have before the com- ing year ends a-complete system of under- ground trolleys upon two of the chief sur- face lines of the city, the 4th avenue and the 6th avenue. It is also the impression that if this service is found to.be satis- factory In every respect, it will sooner or later supplant the cable system. It is ben’ Meved that the amoeeee. of the underground trojley upon the lines paralleling Broadway would relieve the traffic, see at Brosaway, hours is congested as ised fete pen the elevated ines But for that} THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1896-10 PAGES, The Busy Corner, 8th and Market Space.
