THE MAIL'S HOLIDAY NUMBER. For several years past the holiday Dumber of Tho Mail has been one of the most notable features of that festive season, aud .this year unusual efforts have been put forth to make the uum ber attractive. It will be printed as has been oustouiary, with a handsome cover, appropriately iflustrated, and a number of interesting literary features have been prepared. Among these Is a symposium entitled, "The MostMemor able Christmas of My Life." It will be contributed to by such well-known personages as our own Eugene V. Debs, Wm. H. Crane, the actor, Clara Morris, Col. Thus. W. Knox, author of the "Boy Travelers," Edna Dean Proctor, Hermann, the magician, who will tell of a Christmas spent as a prisoner of the Sultan of Turkey, Thos. Stevens, the around-the-world bicyclist, Mrs. Mary Jane Holmes, the novelist, and will in elude an original poem written by Edith M. Thomas, the well-known and popular poetess. Besides this, there will be feature articles of unusual local interest, that will oombine to make the Christmas Mail of this year more pleas iDg than ever before to the thousands of homes where it has, fot nearly a quarter of a century, been a welcome visitor.

The number will be substantially bound, and on account of the extra labor connected with this, the paper will go to press next Friday night. The merits of the Holiday Mail are too well known to need recital here, and it is urged that advertisers will furnish their copy as early in the week as possible.

THE McKinley boom we heard so much about a few months ago^— where is it14 at?"

AN anti-kissing club has been organ ized in Detroit. It is needless to add, the members are all old, and married.

THE members of the United States Senate do not seem altogether past reform. Senator Daniels, of Virginia, is to become a preacher.

THE trouble between the rival news associations, the United Press and Associated Press, has reached such a stage that the president of tue latter has been compelled to write a card.

TOE Senate has its full quota of ringmasters, boss canvassmen, and other circus dignitaries, and the election of exGovernor Tillman as senator from South Carolina this week, furnishes It with a clown.

IF you area reader of the Chicago pa per#, watch the museum advertisements in them next week for a lot of new freaks. The National Civil Service Reform League held its annual meeting there this week.

IF Henry Clay Evans, Republican, was elected governor of Tennessee, last month, a* is claimcd, be is likeiv to die of old »«e before tho official result Is made known. Alabama is evidently not the only southern *t«te that needs reform of Its ©lection laws.

TITK book keeper'who robbed a New York bank of $354,000, has been captured in Chicago. He will probably be severely punished, as he has none of the money left with which to pay for technicalities —and hair-splitting technicalities are a high-priced luxury beyond the reach of a poor man.

TUB experiment so often tried, of publishing a magasine devoted to Southern writers and Southern interests has again proved a failure. The Southern Maga*ine, of which such a wed known Southerner as Gen. Basil Duke was editor, went into the hands of a receiver at Louisville this week. With tbe great number of Southern writers who have come into prominence in recent years it would seem that sufficient interest would be created to support a distinctively Southern publication, but the reverse has proved the case.

TBKan ti-vaccination fight in our court* I

bat a recent parallel^ Jn Connecticut,

where a parent refused to obey an order of tbe school board to have bis son vac oinated. As is our oase, the boy was refused admliwlon to tbe public schools, and tbe father obtained a writ of mandamus to compel tbeaoboo! board to allow h!a MOD to attend eehool or appear to oourt and ahow reason why be was exoloded. Tbe oaae waa argued in tbe Sa-

parlor court and the action of the aobooj board was uphold. The plaintl® ap pealed to the Supreme oourt and the ctaion of that oourt au*t*tnathe ruling of the lower oourt. The fight agaittat I

vaootnatlou doe# not aeem to have made any remarkable progress In tl joourta, although thoae who are ludenti fled with the movement ifenerally aeem to be strongly of the opinion that they are enlisted against a great wrong,

WHKN a preacher out of the pulpit In dulgea In foolish talk that a preacher the pulpit would not u»e, he loses caste as a moral reformer, They have auob preacher in Indianapolis, who, last Bun day afternoon, In an address before the Progress olub, said he was willing that the Amerloan tlag should be torn down and trampled tn the mud, because It represented protection of millionaires in their greed and laws under which their wealth may beaocumulated. Fortunate ly there was enough patriotism in the audience to resent suoh a declaration and the speaker received the oondemna tion he deserved*- A (nan who hasn any more horse sense than to indulge in such anarchistic utteranoes, has no right to preach the gospel to intelligent men or women. His uaeruluea* in that Hue is at an end.

THAT is a very ooinmendable act of be Republican congressional domiult tee In notifying defeated Republican candidates

lor

oongress tbat they must

not place any reliauce on the large Re publican majority in the next congress to secure them their seats. There are some thirty districts in which defeated Republicans have announced their intention of contesting the election, but the congressional committee advised tbem uot to Ale their papers unless they were able to re-enforce them with tes timony of the most unimpeachable character. Ex speaker Thomas B. Reed in a reoent interview takes advanced ground on this questiou, aud condemns without reserve the law whioh makes it the duty of congress to pass upon the title of melubers-elect to their seats. He declares tbat contested election cases can better be adjudicated in the districts where they arise than in congress where little or nothing is known of the merits of the case and where partisan ship is sure to run high. The reference of contested election oases to United States oourts for settlement would save a great deal of time that is devoted to their consideration, to say-nothing of the saving in money. There are not so very many things of a political nature tbat the next congress can act upon with the assnrance of presidential ap proval, but this is one to which attention can be given.

The income tax law is on the statute books but there is a question as to whether it will ever beenforced, as there will be a hard fight made when the question of making an appropriation to carry its provisions into effect comes be fore congress. A Washington correspondent says that the usual searching questions of the tax assessor are not to be compared with the catechism on in come which has been prepared at the treasury. Those who have seen the pro posed regulations say they are of the most inquisitorial character. The treas ury officials are going ahead to make the income tax as binding as possible. They insist tbat the policy of putting those who are required to make returns upon their honor would result in wholesale perjury, and that the American people are not to be trusted. The income tax is to be enforced, therefore, with all of the rigor and inquisitorial accompaniments that can be devised. The regulations are ready, but they are not to be made public now. The theory at the treasury, is, that if these interrogatories should be made public before the appropriation they might be used,as an argument against granting the appropriation. It is likely that these interrogatories will he necessarily furnished to congress before an appropriation will be granted, and some of tbe inquisitorial features will then be eliminated. It is tbe opinion of many men who are in favor of the law that the secretary of tbe treasury is not vested with absolute aud unquestioned authority to pry into the private affairs of every person whom they may suspect of being in receipt of an income of $4,000 or more, and it iB possible tbat many who voted for the law will deeply ugret theiractlon before opportunity is had to repeal It.
