Christmas Morning.
Where is he that is born King of the
Jews for we have seen his star in the
East and are cotne to worship him.
Matthew ii., 2.
Christmas chimes are heard in every
zone of the habitable .'globe. Church
bells have merrv tongues as they tell the
story of that Star of Bethlehem which
halted over the spot wheie a Jewish
maiden sat holding to her motherly I
liosoni the incarnate mystery and miracle i
of human progress.
Preachers assure us that by the revela
tions of Christ the horizon of personal
existence has been extended to include
immortality and that the chemistry cf
faith has eliminated all bitterness from
tears of grief. They will tell their con
gregations that youth has bien ennobled
by aspiration and that the gathering
clouds of age are radiant with the glories
and the promises of the setting sun; that
life has taken on a new complexion for
those who sit at the feet of the Teacher.
In view of such uplifting facts it would
l>e strange if we did not regard this anni
versary with gratitude and fill the air
with mutual congratulations.
It is said by astronomers that the Sun
holds our planetary system in place. But
for his imperial influence every littie
world from Mercury to far away Nep
tune, would rush to certain destruction.
Should it be blotted out by some over
whelming catastrophe we should rush on
a wild career through space, a madden
ed, irresponsible sphere, without aim or
purpose, only to be engulfed at last in
chaos. The tendency of our globe is to
do this. It flies along the path of its
ellipse as though it would dash itself to
pieces against some celestial obstac e,
but all the while the unseen and measure
less power of the central orb keeps it in
a safe path in spite of its efforts to l»rea
away, and when it reaches a point more
than four score and ten millions of miles
from'the all controlling source of light
and heat it turas'unwillingly and sweeps
back again.
Without the Sun we should either in
stantly die or linger on in dense dark
ness. Life, if it were even possible,
would be intolerable. It is the stored
up sunshine in the earth that blazes on
the hearth; it is sunshine on the arid field
which persuades it to give us a crop of
wheat or other grain, it is sunshine that
mpkes the forests possible out of which
our houses are built, it is sun power that
feeds the cattle of the prairies and" so
furnishes our tables with daily nourish
ment. We are wholly dependent for all
we have physically and all we hope to
get on this generous giver of good things.
It is not a mere figure of speech that
the historic Personage, the anniversary
of whose birth we celebrate, is to our
moral and spiritual what the I Sun is to
our planetary system. The dependence
is equal in both cases, for if the body has
appetites the soul has ambition, and both
must be satisfied or human equilibrium
is lost. We are' forced to concede the
existence of the two, linked together in
some mysterious way, or we shall fly to
social and moral chaos. Good govern
ment, good morals, orderly progression
rest on that concession. To be infidel to
it is to destroy our ideal, to shrivel the
heart of the race, to make might right,
displace the public conscience *
The Man of Nazareth and what lie rep- J
resents are therefore the embodiment of
the law of moral gravitation which holds
the world in its orbit. He gave us the
ideas on which orderly communities base
their legislation, He furnished us with
the ideal of spiritual possibility, created
new motives, made quiet endurance a
virtue and placed on the brow of bereave-1
ment the radiant coronet of hope.
N'EABI.V fourteen million of votes were
cast at the November election, and esti
mating by the usual rate of six persons
to one voter, this nation now contains
about 80,000,000 people.
The official returns from forty-two of
the States and the unofficial but proba
bly very nearly correct returns from the
other three States of California, Utah
and West Virginia, show that there were
13.818.99' votes cast in the late Presi
dential election. Of these McKinley
and Ilobart received 7,078,461; Bryan
and Sewall, 6,300,618; Uryan and Wat
son, 185,409; Palmtr and Buckner, 118,-
985; Prohibition, 119 337; scattering, 16,-
221. The official vote in Pennsylvania
■was, McKinley and Ilobart, 728,300:
Bryan and Sewall, 427,127; Bryan and
Watson, 6103. Palmer and Buckner, 10,-
921; Prohibition, 19,374; scattering 1683.
Pennsylvania's total vote was therefore
1.193,5°8» and McKinley's plurality over
Bryan and Sewall was 301,173, but add
ing the vote of Bryan and Watson to
that of Bryan and Sewall makes JMcKin
ley's plurality over Bryan 295,070. By
Stale* the divisiou was as nearly equal
as it could be,McKinley having twenty
three and Bryan twenty-two, but the
former gave the Republican leader 272
electoral votes while his opponent bad
but 175 or 97 less.
The Tariff aa a Business Question.
Tho favor which the proportion tor a
Tariff Communion is framing among Ke
pnblic&ns sliow* that the time when the
tariff will be "taken out of politic.*" may
be much nearer than anybody a year or
two ago supposed it to be. 01 course, the
confidence with which the "finding" and
recommendations of such a body would bo
received by * the country would depend
largely upon the character and capability
of the men composing it, bnt the Pre<-i
dent whoever he happened to be, could
l>e relied on to keep both of these qualities
firmly in imud when making the sob-c
tions. In this particular instance the
Presideut who would do the teleoting
would be Mr. McKinley, for the proposi
tion, If adopted at all by the Congress,
will v hardly be enacted before the new
Administration corner in.
| |Tbere is coiisidtarble prejudice against
bodies of this sort. A largo number of
the people look with disgust on any pr< p
osition for the making of new offices,
even if the offices ars only temporary cit
ation?, which Congressmen think would
interfere iu some w»y with thi.ir pr r'va
tivc.'i and functions The infer <> jectii.n
has very little woigt.t. The authority of
such a body would be morely advisory.
It would investigate the question oi pro
duction, prices ai.d dunes deliberately
aud intelligently, and give to the country
and to Congress the result of its inquiry in
the shape ol recommendations for legi-la
tion. Congress could please itself as to
whether to accept or to reject these sug

Washington's Rough Christmas.
One hundred and forty-three yean? ago,
this section of our country *" as * n " ie
nominal possession of the French, who
claimed it by right of the discoveries and
explorations of L>e Salle ard other?; and
who had forts on the Allegheny at the
mosth ot French creeV (where tne town of
Franklin now stands), one on French
creek near where Meadville now is, and
one at Erie.
In November of 1753, Gov. Dinwiddie of
Virginia, sent Geo. Washington, then a
young man of but 21 years, with a letter
to the French comsiander at Fort Venan
go (Franklin) inquiring as to their land
claims, etc, and Washington and his party
g£em to have bad no trouble making
their wav trom what is now Cumberland,
Md. to that fort and the fort further up
French creek, where he accomplished the
object of his journey; but on the way back
they encountered rough weather and had
a hard time. They cut across the country
from Fraaklifl to some point on the Big
Beaver and probably passed Christmas day
in the Western part ol this county.
The night before Christmas they en
camped, Gist says in his narrative, near
the barrens," sleeping on the trozen snow
with only their blankets lor a covering,
..nd on Chrstma.l day he makes the br.et
entry : "Traveled on foot to Great Beaver
ereek," and that n'ght the} *lept by u
campfire on the edge of the stream.
The weather was so severe, and their
strength so rapidly tailing, that all haste
must be made, so Washington and tiist
started out on the morning of the Jbtb.
with their.guns in their hands, and packs
on iheir backs, containing provisions and
ammunition. The weather was bitter
cold, and the streams frozen so hard that
it was with difficulty they obtained watei
to drink; and they lodged that night ib an
Indian cabin, where they must have ' ,ad
hut little protection from wind and frost.
The next day they passed a place of ill
omened name, Murdering Town, probably
„o called from its having been the scene
of an Indian massacre. Ti-cro they fell
In with a party of Indians, one of waom
followed them, and tried to keep up the
evil reputation ol the place, by firing ais
gun at Washington; but, as the journal
.-ays, "he fortunately missed."
The next day at dark they reached the
Allegheny river, two miles above Shanno
n's Town, now in Pittsburg; and wo can
imagine how it must h»ve looked on that
cold December night; a fringe of glistening
ice on eM:h side, between which the dark
current rushed, choked uith blocks of ice
driving along in vast quantities, gnndirip
against each other; and the grim forsst
growing right down to the waters edge.
There was no lime to lose, as they were
in constant danger of pursuit from Trench
and Indians: "There was no *ay for get
ting over but on a raft, which ws set
about making with but one poor hatchet.
It was not finished until after sunset the
next day, when the passage of the halt
fiozen torrent was attempted; but before
they were half way oyer the ice encircled
thexn in such a way, an J pushed them
about, with such violence, that every
moirent they expected to perish. Wash
ington tried to stave off the pressure ol
the huge ice cakes by planting his pole on
the bottom of the stream and leaning
against it, but for his paius he was thrown
into ten feet of ice water, and came near
drowning, only escaping by managing to
grasp the end of one of the logs ot the raft.
The best thing they could do, and the
only thing by which there was any hope
ot escaping le'.th, was to abandon the raft,
and swim to an island near the left bank
of the river, and supposed to be Wain
wright's island, which has now entirely
disappeared.
With frozen fingers and toes, and in ex
treme misery and discomfort, they had
nothing for it but to spend the night a la
belle etoile, the intense cold proving of
this much service to them, that the stream
had frozen over by daybreak, and tbey
could cross it on foot.
Thai night the exhausted travelers rest
ed at the cabin of John Frazier, at Turtle
Creek.
THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.
MR. EDITOR —Your remarks in last
week's issue of your paper on the Sen
atorship are timely. What the people of
this state are interested in, and want, is
good men to represent them in the U. S,
Senate. It looks as though the contest
wasjjoing to settle down lietween Hon.
rose of Philadelphia, it being claimed,
that city has not had a senator for over
forty years, and they should now have
the honor of naming a man for the place.
Well be it so and concede their claim,
the question arises, who shall the lucky
man be? The only persons mentioned
by the city are the two gentleman al>ove
named. The representatives of the peo
ple in the legislature from the rest of
the state will have a vote on choosing
Tietween the candidates presented, and
as the Supreme Court has decided, "that
the character atid fitness of the candi
dates for office are proper subjects for in
quiry by the people who make choice of
their representatives," let us for a mo
ment look at the two men presenting
themselves for the position of U. S. Sen
ator. Your remarks as to Hon. John
Wanamaker and his well known charac
ter for uprightness, honesty and success
in business, his record as Post Master
General, his whole life from a p>x»r coun
try boy to the successful merchant and
man of affairs that he is, make it unneces
sary to say anything as to Wanamaker.
How about his antagonist, Hon Boise
Penrose? He is a man of good abiliiy
as a lawyer, we are told, and has repre
sented one of the senatorial districts of
Philadelphia in tlli state Senate for up
ward of twelve years. This would look
as though he was held in esteem by his
constituents, and if a good sober honest,
upright man, after the length of service,
it would seem he would be a general fa
vorite with, not only the people of his
district, but the whole city as well, We
see by the Philadelphia and other papers
that at the choosing of a mayor of that
city the last time, that Boise Penrose waj
a leading candidate, in fact the only can
didate, for the place, and had the sup
port of the recognized party leaders of
Philadelphia. It seemed he was to be
the candidate, but a veritable storm arose
against him, raised by the good women
of Philadelphia, protesting
against his nomination, and when the
day for making the nomination came the
storm had grown to such proportions that
the party leaders became appalled, Mr.
Penrose was retired and the present
mayor, Warwick, chosen by the people
Now the question arises, why this
storm raiser! by the good people of Mr.
Penroscs own city? A man is generally
l>est known in the community in which
he lives, and if the people of his own
home will rise up against him as to drive
him off the track for the office of Mayor,
it would seem there must have be en
good reasons therefor. What those rea
sons were we are not fully informed, but
reasons to the full satisfaction of the
people of Philadelphia there must have
been or the good, fair minded people
that they are, would not have said to Mr.
Penrose, "we dont want you for Mayor
of our city, you are not the man for the
place, stand aside and we will take
another." Now when the people of a
man's own home will so treat an aspi
rant for the highest oflice in the munici
pality, is it not proper for the people of
the state to inquire into his fitness when
this same man aspires to the high office
of U. S. Senator?
We in the ' back woods'' of Western
Pennsylvania are so far from Philadel
phia that we aie not familiar with their
local affairs, and the reason why they so
acted towards Mr. Penrose, but we would
suggest to the representatives trom all
the western counties of our state, when
they -o to Harrisburg to attend the sea
sion of the legislature at which the Sen
Ktor is to be elected, that they inform
themselves well 011 the subject, then
they can act for the best interests of the
people. The fact as we have seen in the
papers the last few days, that Penrose
has been causing the arrest of a preacher
or two. alleging, "defamation of charac
ter," is rather suggestive to the thought
ful mind. In all our observation of a
jjood many years, we have never known
a person who has always lived an honest
sober, upright life, to] have to resort to
"arresting preachers" and others, aud
appealing to the courts to have his
character vindicated. It is an old adage
"where there is so much smoke the lire
is not far off," awl we think it would be
well if our Philadelphia friends would
let the people of the rest of ih£ state
know , it they can, the reason for so
"smoke;" if there is no reason,
then in 3iL»ii_..- to the people of the rest
of the .state, and Mi T'eurose t< o, the
' smoke, sh 'till be ciearcd »way. Let
tis have light is the desire of

JUDGE EWING, of Pittsburg lately na
turalized a number of applicants for
citizenship. One man in the course of
his examination to ascertain how much
he knew about the government of thib
Senator is chosen. "I don't know," re
plied the applicant. "Well," said Judge
Ewing, "I don't blame you very much.
I think we are ali a little mixed in this
State on this question. We used to
think the people had something to say
in the matter, but just now in Pennsyl
vania one would think the United States
Senators are nominated and elected by
one man "
CONGRESS,
Both houses discussed several resolu
trons regarding Cuba, Monday, but
neither adopted anything. A dispute
arose as to whether Congress or the
President had the right to recoginize
Cuban independence.
Sixty years ago, on Dec. 21, 1K36,
President Andrew Jackson wrote a mes
sage to Congress referring to that body
the question of recognizing the indepen
dence of the Republic of Texas and
deferring to the decision of Congress in
that matter?
On Wednesday the House passed the
Legislative, Executive and Judicial ap
propriation bills; ami the Senate discuss
er' some alleged Pacific railroad abuses.
JOHN WANAM.YKKR'S Senatorial boom
seems to be assuming some considerable
dimensions. The Philadelphia news
payers almost to the last one, are sound
ing his praises and insisting upon Ills
superior fitness (or that office. It cannot
be denied that Mr. Wananjaker has a
great head for business, and tlut he
would made a Senator of whom any
State might well feel proud. If he fails
of election it will be on account of his
supposed connection with the late "com
bine." But as other great ones have been
forgiven for this, why should not the
same clemency be extended to Mr. Wan
amaker? If he is to be defeated it
should be by bringing out a superior
man, and not by arousing factional pre
judices, which are always belter when
dead, and the deader the better —Punx'y

to work ofl their "good nature and let

In due time the dinner hour arrived,
when the pood cooks ol the district dis
pensed beef, chicken, bread, buns,

multitude. Someone said Ed. Waddell
was so hungry that he took a bite out of
the football before he discovered his mis

Tours to California.
California has Keen most fittingly term
ed the "Itally of A merioa." All the deli j
cious balm, the cloudless sky, and the rich
verdure of th* great European pen insula
are duplicated IU this 6unny land of the Pa
cifie. Here uatc.re basks in the sunshine .
of her own beaut}; and here she has est ah- j
lished her own sanitarium, whera eternal \
sping inspires everlasting youth. With j
the -now mantled peaks oi the Sierra* i<p- >
on the one hand, the calm Pacific with its
soft breezes upon tho other, and a veritable j
paradise of flowers, fruits, and plants be- i
tween, man can find a-d ueeds no lovelier !
land. To visit such a country is a privi- i
lege, a blassine.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company :
recognizing the need of a more comforta' le •
and pleasant way of crossing the continent ;
inaugurated a series of annual tours to j
California, running a throngh train of Pull
man pa'ac* cars from New \ ork to the Pa
cific Coast, and stepping at the principal
points of interest en route. The great
popularity of these tours demonstrates
the wisdom of the movement.
For the season of 1597 three tours have
been arranged to leave New York, Philadel
phia, and Pittsburg. January 27, February
24. and March 27.
The first tour will run direct to Sar.
Diego via St. L mis and the Santa Fe
Route, and return from San Francisco via
salt Lake Cilv, Denver, and Chicago, al
lowing live wieks in California.
The secund loner wiL' run via 'he Mam
moth Cave and Xew Orleans to Sau Diugo,
stopping at the "Crcssont City" duriug th«
Mardi (ira« Carnival. This tour will return
via Suit Lake City, Denver. Oinaha. ami
Chicago, allowing tour weeks in California.
The third tour will run vie Chicago, Den
ver. and Salt Lake City, allowing pas
sengers to return by regular trains via of
different routes within Jice months.
All these tours, either going or coming,
will .pass through the famous Colorado
region. Glenwood Springs, Leadville, and
the Garden of the Gods. »
Ra'es from all points on the Penua.,
Railroad Svstem east of Pittsbuig:
tour, $3lO, cecoud tour, $350; thud tour,
$2lO round trip and $l5O one way.
