In New York it is & nowspaper that sponsors this noble work. What a happy surprise it must be to the ragged and, perhaps, ailing little ones to be thus unexpectedly re-membered! What a source of enjoy-ment it must be to giver and receiver alike! We hope to see in another year this method of practical Christmas ottering introduced In this good city of Salt Lake. IN ANOTHEIt YEAR. Perhaps circumstances were not fa-vorable this year to make an organized effort in behalf of the poor and unfortu-nate to provide them with Christmas cheer. Perhaps, too, individual and collective charity is sufficient to meet every requirement in a city so prosper-ous and busy as Salt Lake. We note however with the liveliest approval the various movements successfully carried out in other places to carry gladness into the households of those who with-out such assistance would be bereft of it. They are usually among the worthiest poor in the community; people who would not ask for a gift even if they were sure of receiving it. Lately these movements have taken the shape of a toy or doll fuud or tome such store, with which to lighten the dark homes of the children of the poor. In one city a clergyman receives all contributions in money or toys, and, with the aid of public suggestion, visits and distributes personally, regardless of creed, color or condition, in all the THE SALT LAKE TIMES, By THE TIMES PUBLI8HIH3 OOMPANt. fcW YOKK.

Thus from millions of lips falls the kimlly greeting today.- Happy Christmas! is tho cheery exclamation that goes with every gift and every act of charity. It is the day of days for the little ones, this glad anniversary of the birth of Christ, and in the broader sense of the word we are all children. Sorrow, there Is plenty in tho world, but when we must) over the meuning of this great Christian observance, whether in a spirit of roligious devo-tion or in the line of philosophic thought, tho sting is removed from our hearts and t he poignant grief is hal-lowed, There is something mora to ' life than the narrow Npaa of an earth-- j ly existence. The order of the uni-verse is too perfect to admit of a feel-ing that man is but an accident without a purpose or fixed place in it. The di-vine love which Jesus embodies can-not perish und whether manifest iu one form or another it must endure forever. This is immortality. ' If tho babe in its mother's arms, glowing with health and promising of the future, may perish in an hour, why not a planet! There is no mora excuse for the perpetuation of the one than for tho other. If anything, tho babe, containing tho seed of divine aspira-tion should have the preference. To be sure planets die, but only to be born anew. There is never a sun without his moon and earth and other satolites. Nor is there ever a sacred love or other divine attribute in man that can lose its affinity. It would be madness to think it may and it would bring madness to believe it can. Savago and civilized alike bear within thnm tho hope of immortality. Whether from instinct or observation this hope is ineradicable. As there is no cud of time or space imaginable so is thero no end of our being conceiva-ble. If there be purpose, aim and goal in any part of creation it must be In the highest porfuction of such creation, in the human being. No skeptic, agnostic, inlidel or scoffer can weaken the logic of this proposition whether it comes from faith or, reason. Christ, viewed in any way he may, confirms the hope that is within us. Ho has given individuality to our noblest aspirations, and the anniversary of his birth today is the culmination of our greatest promise. Happy Christmas! It will be strange news to the silver states to learn that iSecretary Winiloin is their "friend at court," since it is be-lieved hereabouts that the gentleman is the most persistent opponent we have "at court." In fact, it it not many days ago that the Hoslon Herald, which has made the Budden discovery of our friend, classified him with its own friends on tho silver question. What causes the sudden chango of heart? Simply the senate compromise accepted by Mr. Windom. Were the secretary's personal inclination aloue involved, he would probably stand out (irmly against any concessions, just as tlio Herald does; but as he is a republican, anxious to preserve his party's interest anil its success inviolate, the Herald, which has no such considerations at slake, being a mugwump sheet, breaks out in weird lamcutthus: The senat" finance commutes has consented to reHrt the bill fur the relief or sliver spe substantially In tie form annelupm In the republican caucus. We trlve this title to the hill, as Its primary object Is to make a market for the bullion held by a ring of specu-lators In silver, who tlnd tliemelve4 threat-ened with serious losses, and, naturally, are desirous of shift nit their unprofitable burdens to the broad shoulders of Uncle fam. Tuey have a ve.-- se Ttceaida friend at court In Be ary Wludom. The tlrst hint of the nefar-tou- e S"heme was given In his recent report, In which he called the attention of congress to the Injury don to the silver market by the nur. plus sliver In the hands of speculators. The plot b ripening fast, and the bill which the senate llriaive committee has decided to report bring It safely within the lcKlslatire H 'Id. This is ugly language and shows the ugly disposition of the gold bugs. It also shows the patriotism required to conciliate the warring elements and bring relief in distress. Under the cir-cumstances is it not just as well to show on our part some modoration, yielding nothing in principle and only a point in politics?

"TIIUlSDAYr'l'KCEMlV One of the most sensible advertise-ments that ever appeared in any paper was that of Lincoln Park addition which offered premiums of $20 each for the best article on certain advant-ages oT Salt Lake City. The successful articles appear in The Times today and they form within themselves excellent reading matter showing a superior literary ability of the authors. Thus the owner of Lincoln Park not only succeeds in placing his real estate con-spicuously before the public but in ad- - vertising Salt Lake prominently as well. It is a scheme worthy of emula-tion and the writers who are richer by $20 a piece for Christmas money are no doubt willing to see it emulated. It is officially announced from Taris that lioulangcrism is dead. Thauks. May none of the littlo ones feel dis-appointed at tho neglect of Santa Chuis. Fiiksh rumors of the building of a short line from Denver to Salt Lake are in the air.' We wish they were nearer tho ground. Bar Harbor, Maine, will not enjoy a happy Christmas. Her public build-ing bill appropriating $75,000 was vetoed by tho president. Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. 95, 18). Editor Thk Times, City: Dkaii Sm: Please state through the n of your paper who theCaas. Kills Is who Is billed to deliver a lertuie In the Salt Lake theater on December SS on "The Test Oath," and oblige, AKeai eb. He is a professional lecturer who bobs up periodically in Zion to enlighten us for an admission fee upon certain things of which he an a stranger is himself ig-norant. During the recent territorial election he was in the service of the Mormon church. When nobody else hires him he delivers blasphemous speeches garbled from Faine and Iuger-soi- l against God. He is an Ishmaelite whose hand is raised against everybody. Otherwise he is a blatherskite. riDni.KsTiOKs i No sooner had President Harrison at-tached his autograph to the' proclama-tion Inviting the nations of the earth to participate iu the Columbian Fair than the nlarm is sounded that a number of the greatest countries will .decline the invitation without thanks. "I happen to know," says Mr. Christ-man- , for many years our1 consul gen-eral at Berlin, "that a movement is ou foot in Europe by which Germany, Great Britain, Austria and Italy are' to take concerted action in reply to the invitation of this government, and their responses will not bo favorable." And he adds: "I do not believe one of the iirst-clas- s powers of Kurope, unless it be Russia, will give official encourage-ment to the enterprise. From what I heard before leaviug Berlin I should say this much is already settled." This is the veriest bosh, and the ani-mus of it is too plain to deceive any-body. It is, in short, a treasonable effort on the part of the free traders to discredit the McKinley bill before the world and charge to it the failure of any foreign government to exhibit at our fair. The great show is calculated to bene-fit Europe as much as any other conti-nent or people. From a sentimental or historical point of view, there is no reason why any natioti should refuse to celebrate tho discovery of a new world, which added an outlet to the conges-- ted population of the old, poured untold treasures into the coffers of foreign powers, and gave new direction to trade and thought and enterprise. Considered from a'purcly economical standpoint, we imagine Europe is more anxious to maintain her business rela-tions, or improve on them, with tho United States than ever before. We are the best customers the old world has and to keep or increase our patron-age it will pay her to make tho best dis-play at our fair that she possibly can. Never mind our tariff. That will take care of itself and of us. First of all let us show our own willingness to make the Columbian exhibition a complete success and the European nations will then come in as a matter of self interest to themselves. This persistent effort to blame every-thing real and imaginary upon protec-tion is growing wearisome. It is all fiddlesticks. Even Mexico forbids bull fighting now and since one of our Bull's is dead and the other captured we trust we will stop fighting also. "Peace on earth," etc. As an appropriate Christmas gift tho Catholic diocese of Utah was created by the pope yesterday and Father Scanlan very properly appointed its first bishop. Long usefulness to him. An English inventor has devised an illuminated street sign which may be attached to any open air lamp, and which not only shows the letters dis-tinctly during the day, but projects them upon the sidewalk at night. We in Salt Lake have been clamoring for street signs that may be seen in broad daylight, not to say anything of the illuminated kind. TnK Salt Lakb Times calls for the appoint-mpu- t nf a rroverument director of the Union Paclllc from Utah. An excellent suggestion. There Is much uuod material for the place In Ofilen. aud Union Paclllc Interests here are very large. Ogdcn Commercial. We concede all of that. Pars ell is going to Paris. ' Mrs. O'Shea is already there. If the Irish leader will agree to open negotiations looking toward matrimony with the un-fortunate woman much will be for-given. Wak news in Dakota is getting de-cidedly scarce. Tho hostile correspon-dents have apparently repaired to the festive Christmas board ut home and the war w hoop is accordingly adjourned over the holidays. Thk Pennsylvania Iron company has served notice upon its unmarried em-ployes that they naist get helpmeets by the 1st of Jauuary or quit. When the alternative is so agreeable we hope none of the employes will quit. Strange, isn't it, that all our Ameri-can songstresses should be lionized abroad while Mrs. Thurber is strug-gling in vain tosustaiu a national opera company at home? Nordica, Sander-son, tames, Nevada, Van Zand, they are all delighting foreign audiences. A GKXTI.KMAX llUlils US a Copy of Liinnan'ti Own containing a boom edi-torial on California, together with a cut nud description of this city, with this legend in bold type: "Salt Lake Take one," and adds: "Your contempoiy appears to be booming California whenever an op-portunity offers. Can't it find some-thing nearer .home?" There is plenty to find nearer home, if innate cussed-Les- s were not in the way. Paris is nothing if not sensntional and she will create a novelty out of the gha.st!iest incident. The latest thing in that line is a small model of the trunk which figured in the Gouffe murder as the receptacle of the victim's mutilated body. It is a puzzle to open the trunk and when this succeeds the leaden image of the strangled notary appears in sight. We had a trunk horror in this country not lung ago, but it never occurred to our native genius to turn it to commercial account. American genius doesn't run in that groove. |
