state an opinion as te theiu, but the gen-
eral result Intended te be secured is one
which we heartily approve. In seems te
have beceme essential that Congress shall
legislate upon the subject. It is one
which no state can justly handle, lecause
it can control only the railroads within its
$ borders and it is. net practicable te put
restrictions upon them which will place
them at a disadvantage ever competing
reads through ether states. The need of
each state Is te secure te its own citizens
rate3 of carriage as low in proportion te dis
tance asnre obtained by theso of ether
states who use her territory as
highways ever which te fetch and carry
their goods. But Pennsylvania is pre
vented from protecting her people from
unjust discriminations by the fact that
such discrimination is forced upon the rail
roads she controls by the rivalry of thc-e
which nnj outside her borders.
Congress only, therefore, can adequately
legislate upon this subject ; nnd Its power
ever It is ample. AVe undoubtedly need
legislation which will enforce the precept
of the common law requiring carriers of
goods te carry for all upon equal terms.
The railroad companies are new in fact the
legislature of the count 0 se far as Its
traffic is concerned. They regulate it at
their will and according te their ideas of
their interest, localities favorably situated
for competition in carriage obtaining the
advantage of the lowest rates. Pennsyl
vania suffers severely from this power of
IfeJiils te determine the prosperity of
localities, since the chief centres of railroad
competition areUast and "Wet of it.
Mr. Thelps of "New Jersey, declared In
thellouse that the lailieads would net
obey the law if it was passed ; and that
they would cease te work their Hiips if
they could net defeat it in the courts or
defy It under support of popular opinion.
Ne doubt thej would kick ugaiuit theie theie
strictlens imposed upon them, but tliey
would net be strong enough te defeat the
law, which would lmve the hearty support
of the people"; nor weuUTinie injurious in
the end te the railroads. They would all
ceome under its harrow and their ruinous
competition would be abated. It would
give them such a schedule of rates under
the protection of the law as they have for
some time been "vainly attempting te en
force among themselves by agreement and
penalties. The railroads new in their
eagerness for business fail te keep their
peeling agreements : and they ought te wel
come a law which would bring them all

The Wring tr Cllts.
There is danger that the beautiful and
highly symbolical custom of giving Christ
mas presents, like the bestowal of bridal
gifts, will beceme inexpressive, burden
some nnd Anally perferce fall into disuse
by reason of the prevailing tendency te
extravagance in social life. The old saw
of net looking a gift horse in the mouth is a
very proper sentiment, and no mere the
giver than thu ene who gets should con
sider that the appreciation of a present
depends upon its cost. Whenever one be
gins te calculate the pi Ice, or te underesti
mate the fitness of a gift because of its
moderate cost, or te consider the exchange
of values in the reciprocity of present-making,
It is manifest that there is something
lacking of the proper feeling te character,
ize the custom.
Again, it Is by no means the most costly
articles that are the fittest or even the most
acceptable for presents. Delicacy of taste,
appropriateness of design, the gratification
of wholesome sentiment and often the
adaptation te necessities me considerations
te which cost should nlways le subordi
nated, nnd In the hard times this gene
rally may be due te the comfort of these
Who set out te purchase gifts. Let all the
conditions of theso en whom presents are te
bobestewed be carefully st lulled and a preier
regard for them will solve many of the
problems of expense new bothering hauls
Intent en buying Christmas gifts.
Above all let Emersen's memorable
words Imj ever kept in mind : " The only
gift Is n portion of thyself. Theu must
bleed for me. Therefoie the ieet brings
his poem; the shepherd, Ids lamb; the
farmer, corn; the miner, a gem; the
sailor, corals and Shells; the painter, his
picture; the girl, a handkerchief of her
own sewing. Flowers and fruits am
always fit presents; ilewers becauvi they
are a proud assertion that a ray of lieauty
' eutvalues nil the utilities of the weild.
Fruits me acceptable gifts, because they
nre the flower of commodities, and admit
of fantlstic values bring attached te them."
Mi
The City Finances.
We have waited In vain for sumo ene te
, explain en behalf of thu present admlnis
" tralien of the city government hew it pro
poses te carry en the necessary work of thu
'municipality when some of the uppropria upprepria
j atkms for the fiscal year are exhausted at
j the end of the first six months, and of
rtfepw there are net left mere than from
' JS te5 per rent. Wenrenet disapjielnted
, ttiaf no ene essayste make an explanation,
for obviously there Js 110 escape fiem the
, dilemma that such management either ex.
pesw the city te great risks or Illegal debts
mf about te be created,
It must be remembered that Lancaster
cty has reached the limit of the constitu
tional debt. Ne mere Iwnded obligations
can be Issued, no temporary leans can be
made nor floating debt Incurred. All ex
penditures in excess of the appropriations
nre illegal ; all debts se created are void,
and councils have expressly declared that
committees or city oiMcersautherlzingsuch
expenditure shall be held individually
liable.
With this plain state of facts before them
the councils should at the next meet lug over
haul the municipal finances and rail their
committees and city officials te account.
This is December; the lineal jcar does net
end until Slay 31, next. Meantime the
water and market rents for next year arc
te be absorbed for the present year's appro
priations, se that the city Is alwa s at least
six months ahead of its means. These
things need attention.
Tin: facility with which Jeseph Ilereg,
for years, has pursued the business of ob
taining from our banks the discount of
forged notes seems te show erv clearly
that there is some thing wrong in the man
ner in which they are accustomed te de
this business. As neari all the Kinks In
the city have liecu his victims, the fault
seems te Iks in the system rather than in
the negligence of the officers.
One lesxm they have learned is that it is
net well te trust tee much te fair apiear
ance. They are said te have been great
admirers of Mr. Hemig's business methods,
lie nlways paid his notes before they wcie
due, and did net ask for their renewal.
Tlie-sj are excellent recommendations te
bank officers. They make a few das in
terest and seem te have a prosjwreiis cus
tomer. Liberality and promptitude are
seen te be virtues which the Muewd swin
dler puts en as a cloak te his schemes.
Thesk ulie nre interested In tlie Iumiiu
custom of niHtrlmeulnl presents and few
thcrenrc who de net, willy ntlly, heloiigste
this category, should take pause when they
next think of sanctioning this social barbaric
linblt. The particulars of the r.ixten-Wi'.lard
clopementaro still fresh in the public mind.
Thoyeunglady,lt will be rcineuibcreil,wns en
gaged te a distinguished son of New Jersey,
nnd the cards wcre out and 11 number of
presents already sent, The father of Miss
Willnnl was en his way from Kurope te bless
the union. Meanwhile Mr. I'.wten and Miss
Willlard were quietly married, lca ing the
New Jeivey suitor in the lurch. When the
father of Miss Willard reached Washington'
nnd was mide acquainted with the change of
the young lady's mind he eaued te be 10
turned te the donors the wedding presents
w hlch had bscn sent te his daughter in an
ticipation of her marrying the ether fellow.
New comes Paxton, however, and threatens
te bue his fnlhcr-In-law for their alue, both
for himself and wife, taking the ground that
the presents belenged te Miss Willard, new
Mrs. Paxton, and te 110 0110 else.
BusiNnss failures nnd divorces eem new
te have the call.
These nre strong words that Senater
Ilayard uses te etprcs the great labor that
President-elect Cleveland must fnce en March
4: "Mr. Clmelaml Is confronted with an
enormous task, the like of which has hardly
n parallel in history. The Democratic inirly
Is the legatee) of the most monstrous mj tem
of mismanagement. Kvcry detriment of
the pu jilic service is misinaiuigeder conducted
in mich 11 way ns It should net be." And yet
nnyone who lus given any attention te the
career of the next president must le.ich the
conclusion that he is the tlttest man for the
emergency. He has liecn tlghtingcoritiptlen
In city and state for many ycar, and the
armor of honesty with which he is luueidicd
has ireed unassailable te t en the most
skilful thrusts of unscrupulous jobbers. It is
fitting that his gieat work in thu list should
recoive for its castoue the coming roleini in
the national administration.
With the crisp, bracing air of te-day romes
te the well-clad n feeling of healthy satisfac
tion that their lines have been east in pleasant
places, nnd Insensihly with it a desire te
reach In the pocket for means te lift the less
fortunate poeror brother te the same happy
piano of enjoyment. Citizens of I.aucastcrh.iNe
much te be thankful for in their sanitary sur
roundings, The thought, jicrhnps, does net
occur te them until comparison is made with
ethor places. Prof, Adlcr has iintcd out
that in two blocks of houses in tlie Hcnd of
Ilaxter and Mullwrry streets, New Yerk,
there had been no less than IK3 deaths in
three years. In ene house, Ne. 31 H.iNter
street, there have been eleven deaths in
twelve mouths. Tlie misery that must ensue
en w intry days in these human pens exceed
the power of pen te express.

A mystery somewhat similar te the Carl Carl
eon hotel horror has been develejied in Phila
delphia. Pier Ne. 0 .Seuth w harves Is used
by Cope Brethers, shipping merchants at Ne,
1 Wnlnut street, as a landing place for the
vessels ojieratcd by the linn. A Unit twenty twenty
ilve or thirty feet from the water Is smn'll
ene story frame shanty nUmt fifteen feet long
by about ten In width. The place has net
Uen used for seme time. This morning 0110
of the firm of Coie llrothers, seeing that
the weather was gradually getting colder,
sent ene of his empleyes, blirove D. Smith, a
young man, down te the wharf for the pur pur pur
poseof letting the water out of the boilers
there. Just ns he was steeping te open tlie
valvu which would allow the water te turn
out, his feet kicked something en the fioer,
and reaching down he felt the leg of a human
being. He was overcome with fright ami
meduli belt for the deer, heisting It oil its
hinges. Werd was at once sent te the coro
ner, and the body which was thai of a man
amiarently about fifty years, wus taken te
li? m,erKU. The Unly had 01 Idenllv U-en

flesh en several parts or the body was eaten

There were three accidents en the Pennsyl
vania railroad en Thursday all caused, It Is
said, by the sudden cold snap. Twe broken
rails nnd the fracture of n loeemotlvo wheel
llange, nwukened the attention of lussengcrs
te the icrlls they sutler from the oxikisute of
metallic railroad equipment te sudden
clmnges of the w cither.
The new iisphnttum pavement laid around

a surface se slippery thntthc smoothly-shed
horses of the street cars found It lniposslble

nnd ns many ns a deren cars blocked the line

There are critics nnd critics. At ene of the
crowded popular receptions te Henry Irving
in Philadelphia the ether night, n cranky old
man said bluntly te him : " 1 took inv family
te see you In "Hamlet. Yeu can't play
jramletuA d bit." Jehn Stewart, lawyer
and politician, who is an ardent Slink
speraean student nnd critical jwtren of the
drama, praises living's Hit mM te the ex
treme i nnd ex-enater Charles Jt. Uuckalew
sjxtiks in lavish praise of Kllen Terrj's nc
cnnpllshmetits. 9
Ten or tweH 0 earsage In lug was known
only ns a comedian. A gentleman who paid
two shillings te see him w hen he was the
rage of Londen six years age tells me that
his support there was immeasurably better
ami the magnitude and exactness of his stage
appointment in Louden far exceeded the
nrcsentatlen et his ttlnys here. Yet most of
the people who ee him here pay $if0 for the
privilege.
One of the most noeompllshcd journalists
of the country recently undo this observn ebservn observn
tleu : "I don't see hew the New Orlcnns
show can boa very successful affair. I was
down there a few weeks ngu nnd was sur
prised te llnd en w hat .1 siue the scheme has
iieen laid out. The preparations were as ir
for tlie Philadelphia Centennial. New Or
leans is a thousand miles from prnsjivrity nnd
dense population, the ceutre et ti peer coun
try, mid 1 don't see where the jeeple are
coming from te keep their turnstiles imsy."
Nevertheless the management has gene te
work with n geed deal of grit nnd deserves
.success. Seme of the Pennsylvania editors
arc talking nljeut devMiig- nu excursion te go
down the lat two weeks' of January. Wliv
tliey de net propose te wait for M.irifl Gr.is 1

It Is rumored that the Philadelphia CAreii-
irle-Herahl has at length concluded upon n
plun te make a journalistic sensation nnd
attract te Itself the attention which lias thus
far failed it. Wharten Parker, its owner,
proposes te writ up what he knows of the
Inside of the (.inrfteld udiniiilstrntien, nnd of
the scheme which was en feet te get up a
difficulty between this country nnd Knglaud
ever Canada, resulting in war, conquest and
annexation. Tlie Dominion Was te have
passed tariff laws discriminating against tlie
mother country nnd in f.iv or of United States
Lnglaud's refusal te ratify these or te permit
them was te have been the pretext for Inter
national difficulties.
And then llirkcr will iclate the ne
gotiations nt Chicago which failed te
nominate Harrison, nnd which were
modified te permit Illaine's nomiiia nemiiia nomiiia

raised and sent te Maine, nnd w hat part of
