THE WORLD-WIDE ANNIVERSARY. The who'e Christian world, for this one day. casts wide the imperioifc de mands of livelihood and fortune-iunkin? along ith the grow elements of busi ness that characterize those pursuits, and tarns its thought and energies to the pleasanter task of making others happy and trying to be happy with them. That the great holiday is not circum scribed to any one nation or faith ac counts Vgely for the spirit of generous largess that makes it chief est among the annua' festivals of human society. Capital, metropolis, city, town and hamlet, and.'he very country-side, in a hundred nations, contribute to the Christmas principle and make it the divinest, broadest and dearest of all known periods. It ranks above all other prescriptive feasts of civilization, not alone on the wore of its divine origin and influence, but in the deep universality of its reoog ution and observance by those indiffer ent to, and even immune from, its car dinal precept. The non-acceptance of its Christian predicate does hot always, nor often, interfere with its friendly observ ance by those who are uninspired by iU authentic religious conception, but from the better impulses that actuate them and it is well. Anything that arouses the gentler thought and kindlier activities of the human heart is a blessing incalculable to all men no matter whence it hails and every known feast of any and every nation on the globe is worth the study ing on that ground alone; for all have the primary thought of the good of man, his happiness, his advancement, his up lift, behind them, and are, tlierefor;, worthy the acknowledgment and observ ance of men everywhere. The Morning Astorian wishes ita fellow-named friends, compatriot is, and citizens, the best of everything incident to the happy season and the year about to dawn; that they, their families, their businesses, their hopes, plans and oppor tunities, may eventuate happily and with such an abundance of things de sired as shall mark this Christmas and the new year, as paramount in the in dividual histories of each and all. THE INEVITABLE CRITIC. One Reuterdahl, the German corres pondent for an English paper, ac companying the American fleet on its " 'pound the Horn" voyage, has done the very unclever and ungrateful thing in sending home a severe criticism upon the personnel of the fleet to which he is attached hv the sheerest of courtesy and will, in all probability, be dumped on "the Beach" at Trinidad, as soon as the squadron arrives there. The naval authorities are deeply in1 censed at his strictures and have lost no time nor spared any paines to rende: tliem nugatory. The man must be an ass of thoroughbred strain to indulge in such stuff from the very midst of the but fairly started venture in which iie figures as a guest, and will prob ably pay dearly for his buncomb. Dic tates of the most ordinary sense of duty would have prompted this man to with hold his censuring pen so long as he was afloat in the midst of the men he was scoring, no matter m hat his critical conclusions happened to be; and that they were not honest, lends color to the assumption that he was sent to the post he occupied for this especial and insol ent purpose, te English have ever been our keenest critics in naval matter and it in quite understandable; they have every reason on earth to be addicted to this ort of thinj?, and mav have more and even better reasons for harsh and dis paraging estimates before they quit the habit. But the stricture will not emanate from the cosy comfort of ft guest-room on board an America:! vessel. All America is behind that fleet of 16. ami the pen of one maguine hirctini: will not disturb the pride and confidence of a nation; but it may start a feelrug tint has lain dormant for the bcttc part of half a century, and end in the disruption of a prized friendliness that were far better not disturbed at all. Scandinavian - American Saving's Bank ft(H)-S0tS Commciviftl St. Organised under the State Lawa LOCAL CAPITAL COURTEOUS TREATMENT EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT CONSERVATIVE METHODS AMERICA'S "ROTTEN BOROUGH." We deprecated the President's order despatching federal troops into Cold- field; and we hope his second order call ing them out of there will remain good, and that the "rotten borough" oi America will be compelled to show her hand, and do something for herself Nevada seems to expect that the "armjr will do all her dirty iwork in her com mendable effort to disparage and de feat the Western Federation of Miners, but it is time she learned that the army haa something else to do than to float around her sand-dunes and take the brunt of her local bickerings. She has not done one single thing to indicate that she has any power of her own nor any sense of her initial duty in this premise, and the order that will remove the troops by the las day oi this month, h likely to arouse her to some tangible showing as to her own responsibility. We look for trouble there, of course; no one ever saw a situation mich a that now supervening at Goldfield res suit in any other way; but it is up to the State of Nevada to do something for herself ; then if she has not got the sand nor the people to settle the rumpus, she may turn again to the source of all national relief and protection and ak with some ehow of clean conscience, for the help she needs. MASKED ROBBERS. Four Men Hold Up Fifteen Patrons of Saloon. CHICAGO, Pec 24 Four masked men entered the saloon of Wm. Wright last night and obtained $400, in money, eisjht gold watolies and four revolvers. The watches and the currency were secure.i rom fifteen patrons of the saloon. The men were playing cards at the tables, when the visitors, each presenting a leveled revoler entered. The plovers were persuaded to drop their game for the moment and line up at the bar, where two of the quartette accepted their contributions while the others stood at "present arms." After this ceremony, one of the collectors went behind tjhe bar and divested the cash re gister of $40. Then the four left the saloon and escaped. Even In the etreos of presidential pot sibilitiies. the sailing of the licet, the restoration of confidence, the lYttibonc trial, the Christmas preparation and the currency bills, an occasional item re minds us that we are still digging the Panama canal.
