Once more has this day of marvelous significance stolen upon us with it's winged feet It's approach has been heralded by the expectations ol the children, and offi cially announced by the shop-windows. A vague sense of joyous expectation per vades all minds and fills the very air. Thoughts and tastes of near ones are con sulted and cunning fingers an J willing purses bring their freights of happiness for the Christmas tide. Lighter hearts pre vail—the world s'«ems brighter—is bright er. Christmas is almost a world's holiday. Controled, as the world is,by the Christain people, it is not strange that this season is duly celebrated in every country on the Globe. Prom Greenland's ley mountains to India's coral strand the Christmas spirit ebbs, and one thrill of joy goes around the Earth. 'What, then, is the origin of this day T Are these countless gifts and greetings the mere ebullitions of our social life, or do they have a deeper origin T The Bible, the testimony of ages, and our hearts proclaim that Christmas means new lore and fellow ship to man. Let it be fittingly observed! Fuller in spirations, stronger pulsations, and wider thoughts rule 1 May each of us wish to the whole world colleotively and individu ally, as we wish to you, "A merry Christ mas." Dalzell a Candidate. In answer to the direct question—"Are yon a candidate for United States Senator from Pennsylvania." Congressman Dal zell at Washington, last week said. "I had hoped not to be pressed for an answer to that question at this time, but since continued silence on my part seem* only to be fruitful of misrepresentation, I will define my position. There is undoubt edly a widespread sentiment in Pennsylva nia against the re-election of Mr. Quay. In this sentment, wholly apart from any con siderations personal to myself, I sincerely concur. If that sentiment shall take form in my favor, and I be elected to the highly honorable office of United States Senator, I shall appreciate the honor, and, to the beet of my ability, perform its duties with fidelity, and with loyalty on all occasions to the declared principles of the Republi can party." As truthfbl and as handsome an answer as could well be made. A Wise Move. There could be no better time than the present for the people of Butler to agitate the question of the building of the greatly needed High School, and the Board of Directors did wisely in acoepting the prop osition of Dr. McKee, which also con templates the erection of a Public Library building, M by so doing they have brought the mntter more forcibly to the attention of the people of the town. It is true that the Dr. McKee's proposition calls for more money than can probably be raised in Butler at present, but wo have a year to see what we oan do, and if the sum does not reach that named, we can hope for such modification of the plans will make the matter feasible. WASHINGTON. On Thursday last President Harrison surprised almost everybody by nominating Stephen B. El kins ot West Virginia to be Secretary of War, Vice Secretary Proctor, resigned. Elkins is known to be a warm friend of Blane, and the Washington Post of next day said th.it Mr. Elkins was offer ed the office of Secretary of War three times before be accepted. He declined at first because he held something should be given to General GofT in recognition of his efforts in behalf of the Republican party in West Virginia. When he was in formed Qeneral Goff would bo appointed a Circuit Judgo Mr. Elkins laid the matter before Secret ary Blaine. "What effect," asked Mr. Elkins of Sec retary Blaine in the coarse of the talk, "would my appointment have upon your presidential ohanoe next year I" "Absolutely none," was Mr Blaine's re ply. "As 1 feel at present I shall not be a candidate for the nomination. If, how ever, there should come to me from the Republican party an overwhelming ex preasion demanding that I except the nom ination, 1 may feei constrained to put aside my personal feelings and accept the nomi nation. In that case Mr. Harrison will be for me, and there will be no impropriety in your being my friend also. On the other hand, shotld Mr. Harrison be the nomine*) I will not be in the race and therefore, yon will be his friend. I eannot see how your aoceptance or declination will change the condition of things in the slightest degree, and I would advise yon to acoept the ap pointment." After this talk Mr. Rlkins decided to accept the President's offer. Speaker Criap has been down with the grippe, and has not yet announced his Committees. TUB Meroer Ditpatch and Republican fiercely assails the popular vote system of making nominations, and holds up the Andersons, the Robertses, the Dicks, the Delamater s, etc., as the outcome of tho system in Crawford County Well, follow ing the same line of argument, the dele gate system which wo now have in thi:i district has been in operation less than four years, and in that timo has produced a Town send and a bribery scandal whioh is a strench in the nostrils of honest men all over'tbe State; for which three men aro now in jail at New Castle and where the men who bribed them should keep them company. And this strong protec tion district, with Manufactories all over it and with a Republican majority of 7000, is represented in Congress by a freo trad* Democrat. Our esteemed oontemprary should not insist too strongly on a com parison of results.—Sharon Herald. IF there is a single Republican newspa per published in Lawrenoe county we wonld liko to hoar from It on this popular vote question. TIIK Pittsburg Time* does not believe,as Senator Quay predicts, that if we lose tho President next year, "the Kepnblioan party as a National party,will have fought its 'a«t ba'tlo."

I I g 1 % ] PEACE o J t O A A —OX EARTH o-AXP GOOD WILL TO MEX-o Mr. Dalxeil's Candidacy. Representative Dalzell's frank announce ment aets him fairly before the State as K candidate for United Btates Senator againsr. Senator Quay. Other candidates from other parti of the State will doubtless appear before a great while, but the interest will crystallite chiefly abont these two. There have been significant indications from the eastern part of the State that the aggres sive, unoompromising anti-Quay people in that section will unite upon Mr. Dalzell He seems, indeed, to recognize this himself, in his anouncement, saying, "There is un doubtedly a widespread sentiment in Penn sylvania against the re-election of Mr. Quay In this sentiment, wholly apart from any consideration to mysell, I sincerely con cur." A challenge of this sort at the very outset predicts a hard and bitter struggle. Sena tor Qnay will find against him the most briliant man whom Pennsylvania has sent into either branch of Congress in many a year, one who in two terms of service has won a standing amoagthe foremost leaders of the House; a young man, with jasr record enough to emphasize his fitness for the senatorship. In his first term in the House, Mr. Dal zall's speech upon the intricate question ot the relation of the Government to the Pa cific Railroad won the applause of both sides of the House and brought him to the attention of the oountry. In the defense <»; Commander Reiter, last year, he showed a broad comprehension of the principles of international law,and,not withstanding thf Administration, he overthrew its champi ons in de bate so completely that he forced the reinstatement of Commander Reiter a few weeks later. As a member of the Elections Committee in the last Congress, ha was put forward by common desire as tbe spokesman of the majority in the most im portant cues, and his speech in the Bretk enridge case, especially, was a marvel o! logic and dramatic eloquence. Young, eloquent, and vigorous; repre sentative of aggressive and progressive young Republicanism; bred where the flame and smoke of the furnaces day and night point out tbe glorious pathway of the party in the past—who can challenge his fitness for the office to which he aspires! It is 60 years since Allegheny county ba> had a United States Senator taken from within her borders, although her majorities aro a yearly inspiration and her industrial prosperity a daily object losson to the Ro publicans of tho whole country. John Dalzell has shown himself an abli earnest and brilliant representative of both. Without relinquishing in any degree thr special claims of this community upon his services, we would willingly see his abil ities exeroised in a wider field, and we cordially oommend him to the people of the State.—Pittsburg Times. "THB Republican of the Mercer, Heaver etc., Congressional District are trying to find a better method of making nomina tions, and while a great majority of people are undoubtedly in favor of the Crawford County System, the fellows who have been for yean following the business* of baying *aad galling conferees are dead against it. The fact that threo of thorn were sent to jail for bribery bnt a short, time ago does not aeem to discourage the gang. The matter has been so thoroughly tested and is one so plain to any uian of ordinary sense that we are justified iu questioning the honesty of any mau who advocate* the adoption of the conference system for making Congressional nomina tions. The Mercer oonnty politician* know it is a corrupt system and has noth ing to recommend it except ite corruptness. The Crawford County Bystem is as well guarded against fraud as is the general •lection, and an objeotion against one is an objection against the other as well." — Meadville Gazette. A New Departure. In every aspeot John Dalsnll's aunounfo ment of his candidacy for the Senate is a cheerful new departure in polities. Whether he get it or not—and the ohanoes against a practitioner of Sen ator Quay's experience are none to rosy— Dalsell will at least prove that a man can have the oonrage to express his aspirations and still HVe in this State. The current idea has been rather the opposite There were no fewer than 10 or 15 prominent Pennsylvania! whe believed in their heart* last winter that they would bring more ability to the Senate than Don Cameron, yet not one of them had the oourago to an nonuce himself a candidate. They were willing to be "struck by lightning," and several would nave been glad to get thorn possibly by Senator Quay's favor, but nonu dare avow the ambition without a privato understanding of support from "headquar ters." It is not surprising, therefore, that to those accustomed to Mvero repression*, knowing no path to poblio pout except by the will of "party manager*," the attitude of Daisell should look like sheer ar.dacit;- Bat to everybody who thinks the political arena should he open to all coni'irs, witii no pre empted rights -expressly for indi viduals, tto open canuldacy of Dalzell is n refreshing sign. If it results in jtill other candidacies of competent men so much better. Important as it is to get an al>ln Sonator, the most important thing of alt is to enoourage appeal* directly to the peo ple when men wish office, in placo of bacic door interview with manager* who urn supposed to pnll the wires, Perhaps another good result of the nev order of things will be an improved Ijegis lature for Pennsylvania. Wben publir attention is fixed on men to legislate, it may result in choosing cituuus with ro spect to their inteligence, their capacity, and their views on public questions, in placo of taking mere antoirmta with no opinions of their own, and useful only to eriaof into law the will ot iruiiridrtAU »« wh ni hoy rend T fi*-. ui ■ ,o.- h i wh«iw 1.-ouiney are wiUing to l»e.—Pitta burg Ditpntoh. Bullies and Bulldozers. In fact our whole nomination system, both State and National, stands upon the delegate idea, and the President, » ice President, and the United State* Senators are elected by the delegate system. A re public is a government by representatives selected by the people. A democracy is a government by the people direct. Ours is a republic.—Mercer Dinpatch. "People are not easily fooled by rant. A temperate article containing reasons and valid argument for or against a ques tion will be read and fairly considered by the people, while they will laugh in deris ion at the mouthing* ol epithets as either the vaporiugs of a would-be- bully or the hallucinations of a diseased imagination. In the "original" editorial in the Dispatch the last paragraph precedes, bnt we put it after, where it properly belongs; for the "arguments" offered by the Di*j>atch have all so iar bet-n the "vaporings" of a bull or bnlly or the "hallucinations of a diseased mind"—the kicks of a vacuum where the brain ought to be. Doesn't the italic editor know that two out of every throe voters in tho couutry want to roto directly for President and Senator-, and that they ace &«« permitted to do so by tbe Bossas, j'int as i.i the case in tiiic county and district in regard to local nominations! This country ii a republic, is itT It ougbt to be a Republic, but it is rather a despotism of demj»gogo6s. At the time the Constitution was framed and adopted, seif-governmeut was an exper iment. and hence were the safo guards of the Electoral College and the peculiar elec tion of Senators thrown around the organic chart; but the experimental period ha" loDg since past and self-government has shown its capabilities in every instance where the bulldozers have not predomin ated . It is to relegate those bulldozers and brainles* bluffers to the roar that the Popular Vote System is insisted upon, and will be so insisted npon until it becomes the rule and not the exception in the coun try.

Quay and the Senatorship. Souator Quay is not now a oandidato foi re-election to tho Senile, and he ha*'lank ly said so; but ho did not say, and he did < not mean to bo understood as fuj iug, I bat he would not bo a candidate for tbe Sena torship in January, 1H9'.1, when his SUCCJS sor will bo elected. Senator Quay is not now a candidate for Senator, because there is no Heuator to elect. His term will last until the 4th of .Uuroli, 181»3, arid his successor will be chosen in Jauuary of the same year. A new Legislature must also be elected be fore the next Senatorship is to be filled, and Quay doesu't cross troublesome bridges until bo gets to them. While Quay is not now a candidate for Senator, he intends to be a candidate when there shall be a Senator to elect, and he is doing his level best, with all the party ma cninery in his bauds, to make that election tilmre. lie can control four-fifths or more of the party nominations for Mcuutoj-d and Representatives, aad ho will take good care to do so by beginning early and keep ing at it late; Mil when election day conies along, the Republican* of the State will find it necessary to elect Quay's iierjators and Repre.e-ntat.ivHH or defeat the party and endanger the party control in the Leg islature. When Quay ran for State Treasurer in 1885 and it was charged that ta» n*as mak ing that battle as a preliminary skirinUh for tho Sunatorship, he said frankly that be was not a candidate for Senator. There was then no Senator to elebt, and he, was not a candidate; but a year later, when th'-ro was a Senator to elect, Quay was not only a candidate, but tho party waked up lo the fact that ho had niuotoen-twentieths of tho Republican legislature in favor of him for Senator, and with at, aaoocdchoice for anybody else. No, Quay is not a candidate for Senator just now, but he will he a most lively cau didate lor Senator when the time shall coine for the next f:cnat'>rship to be filled by the Legislature. H« knows just when not to bo a caudidate, and nobody knows better than he whi-n to make his candidacy felt.---Philadelphia Tim on. SKN'ATOK PI.
