Mail Canal.
New Dec. 14th, 1891.
The Christmas season is almost
upon us and the city is filled with
life and beauty now than at
any other time of the year. Every
shop window is decorated, every
shelf acid counter is filled with
holiday goods, and every street is
crowded with loaded trucks and
busy shippers. The displays in
s are growing more
rate every year until now some of
them are equal to first class
Such as these are
rounded by crowds all day long,
and no doubt, they are a means of
great revenue to the store-keepers.
The little ones are indulging in
great expectations, and the
of the poor are not to
neglected. The Christmas Society
has been organized for the
pose of providing the poor child-
of New York with Christmas
presents which will be distributed
the Madison Square Garden on
Christmas morning. The society
is composed of a number of well-
off and active people who are
great success in their work.
The wants of the society are made
known the donations received
are acknowledged daily in the
newspapers.

An invitation has been extended
to Hon. Warner Miller to address
the members of the New York
Chamber of Commerce on the
subject of the
at the next meeting of the
Chamber on Tuesday of this week.
Mr. Miller has accepted as he
is the president of the canal com-
and has devoted a great deal
of time to the subject he will no
doubt make a very valuable and
interesting address. He intends
to that the early completion
of the enterprise would so greatly
benefit the commerce of the Unit-
ed States that it could not fail to
pay the Government to encourage
the work. I understand that the
canal company is modest, but
would like one hundred million if
Uncle Sam could spare it.

which ii is observed to celebrate.
The people who keep it however
lay more stress upon the object of
the observance than upon the
date. The festivities of this
season have always been
ed by all nations with unfeigned
joy and each has vied with the
other in making this the oasis in
life's varied path. Many noble
customs have, and still hallow it as
without a shadow. These
have been different but all
have had the same object, to
happiness, on earth. Good
will to It is but proper after
the toils of a year of struggle,
the separations of twelve long
after the weary
long nights
that we should cease from our toils
meet each other again face to face
and family with family, leave
our cares undisturbed, and think,
and be. and do only for each
happiness.
There is one custom especially
peculiar to which de
to live as long as time shall
last- It is the remembrance of
who are poor, who are
even to the common comforts
of life. Nothing approaches near-
the coming of Christ to this
world to bring salvation to a sad
race than the spirit which
prompts those who gladden so
joyously the hearts of those who
know only the hardships, the toils
of Each of us should
this aid never let these days
pass without being instrumental
in adding at least one comfort
these desolate lives.
The giving of gifts to loved ones
and friends also is a special feature
now; made prominent in these days.
All of us appreciate being loved
and the expression of this in these
tokens form many green spots in
the memory of many a life- This
is but in keeping with the Great
Gift, the coming of which we now
celebrate, the essence of all pure
joy in this sin cursed world. Let
this feature never grow old but be
one of the chimes that swells the
chorus of the
custom which we hope
will never die is the remembrance
of children- One of the noblest
traits of any life is contributing to
tire innocent pleasure of the little
dies that live only in our lives
Some of the joys that
ever enter the human breast
during this earthly existence are
realized by these little ones as
from their innocent,
peaceful slumbers on Christmas
morning to find that
believing them to be good little
and girls has placed in their
little stockings the little
which to are life's
sweets without its bitter- No
father or mother is fulfilling their
high and noble mission who fails
to see that their little ones are re-
membered by this their ideal of
the Great Giver of good to the
good. Here too the poor children
of poor parents are to be
and he who neglects not
these will find his own life bright-
and as these seasons
come and go.
To one and to all we say a happy
Christmas with the
remembrance when it is past
that somebody has been made
happier, some life brighter by
some little act of our own.

SPEAKER CRISP AND MR. MILLS.
Speaker Crisp has not as yet
announced his committees. It will
be a very difficult task to arrange
them so as to give satisfaction to
the as the Democratic
majority is so great and every one
expects something- Mr. Mills is
said to be behaving very badly-
He is sulking and it is not
ed that he would accept the chair-
of the Ways and Means
Committee if it were offered to him.
This is only another evidence of
the fact that the Democrats made
no mistake when they elected
Crisp speaker. It is no part of a
statesman to act as it is reported
Mr. Mills is now doing- It is
thought that he will probably re-
sign his seat in the House.
We are sorry to see such con-
duct in the Texan. We had thought
better of him. It would not be
wise for the Speaker to offer him
the position which would make
him leader of the House. He might
expect that Mr- Mills would not be
very active in pushing the
of the House. On the other
hand he would antagonize the
Speaker- He would be sure to do
so. if his actions now are properly
reported- It is believed now that
Mr. Springer will be given the
place. He is in perfect harmony
with the Speaker upon all
relating to legislation and in
consequence no friction need be
apprehended. Besides it might be
better that a Southern man should
not appointed to this place
since the South has the Speaker.
It will be said by a few chronic
grumblers that it is but fulfilling
the agreement made by Crisp and
Springer when he voted for him
for Speaker that Springer was to
be made chairman of this Commit-
tee. Little heed will be paid to
this those interested in
Messrs. Crisp and Springer
are agreed that to get any relief
from this Congress there must
no effort to pass a general tariff
bill but it must be done by amend-
to the bill- No
bill like the one of Mr. Mills of two
years ago could be possibly gotten
through the Senate. Many amend-
may and will pass both
branches of Congress which will
afford untold relief to the country
by pursuing the course which it is
believed has been marked out by
these leaders of the Democratic-
party. It is to be hoped there will
be no division in the House upon
Democratic policies. All personal
aspirations and pet measures and
theories ought to be subordinated
to the public good, and the welfare
of the party when there is so much
at stake- A prudent, conservative
well defined, and purely practical
course is the one to be pursued by
the present House and with prop-
leaders to fears but
that such it will be.

too much time for this, and our

SNOW HILL AFFAIR.
The has refrained
from saying anything earlier about
the shooting of Rev. J. T.
by W. E- Grimsley at Snow
Hill, which has caused so much
excitement and comment, from the
fact that we thought it best not to
jump hurriedly into spreading a
matter of that kind before the pub-
on rumor, but wait until the
truth comes to the front The first
reports of such occurrences that
go out are apt to do some
and usually get very much
exaggerated.
A gentleman from Snow Hill
was in our office last week and
gave us something of the
The first shooting
at the house of Mr. Grimsley near
Snow Hill. It is said he invited

with him, that after the hunt

pretending that he must go else-

He claims that when they
entered the room the minister
kissed Mrs- Grimsley where upon
he sprang from his hiding place
and shot in the face
with a load of bird shot- He fol-
lowed to Snow Hill
threatening to kill him, and con-
the threats every time he
went to town, saying he was going
to kill on sight.
The second shooting occurred
on the streets of Snow Hill-
was out for the first time
after the former shooting and was
on his way to the barber shop.
Before Mrs.
because of the continued
threats against his fife, advised
him to put a pistol in his pocket
for fear Grimsley might be in
town and see him- Sure enough
Grimsley was in town, saw him and
with curses began firing at him
with a pistol,
drew a pistol and several shots
were passed. The latter was struck
in the left cheek the ball passing
out back of the head. Grimsley
was shot in the thigh. Indignation
ran high against Grimsley and
even threats of lynching were re
sorted to. He disappeared and
could not be found when warrants
were issued for his arrest
