24 Church Street. A LITTLE AFTER-CHRISTMAS SER-( MOS. I 'From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times.) This year's expression of the Christ-) mas spirit was the full-blown rose of raitn, nope ana love, rooted and nurtured in the soil of national well-being With a retrospect of plenty and a future full of golden promise, peace within all our borders and prosperity In our homes, it was a Christmas long to be remembered by the millions who participated in its abundant Joys. May its memory never be obliterated except by feasts of sou! and sense its superior. The memories of it will be pleasant to carry into the New Year which is about to dawn.

They w.ll brighten its tasks; sweeten its labors an make easier and smoother all the highways and byway, of human endeavor. It has given new birth to solemn thoughts of our obligations one to another, to the members of the Inner and the outer family circle, to the inmates of the home and kinsmen, and also to the stranger, to the natural objects of our affection and to those who are made misfortune and misadventure a claim upon our consideration, or are claimants for the mere reason of a common mortality. It is well that Christmas so closely precedes th New Year and that there Is an Interval of days only between them. The feast of Christmas Is not a mere gratification of the senses, fortunately, but one that open, the portals of Heaven and lets us "listen to the springs of life within like music flowing," to the refreshment of heart, mind and soul. It Is preparation, therefore, for the quiet introspection that one by some nature' Instinct indulges in as the old year fade into the new.

Generous impulses have birth, for old things seem to fade away and all to become new and different with the opening of the fresh volume In which to begin a new personal history, paragraph by paragraph and chapter by chapter. Christmas, with all that it is and all that It means In the observance, is regenerative. It improves the individual man and woman and thereby humanity and makes the year that follows it vast ly better for all In the beginning and Is an i influence that does not fade wholly untr there is the stimulus of another such to revive and reinvigorate and leaven another year. In a general glow imparted by th warmth of sentiment and emotion of th now departed crowning glory of all year we go again with strengthened pi pose to the common duties of life, moi sympathetic, more tolerant, better mind ed and better fitted to discharge them in a way that will be not merely for ou: own benefit, but for the good as well of all associated with us in them, or whose paths cross and intertwine or run parallel with our own.

COMPANY Sank Merest Pali on OrmHi Fret fn Tun ought to have shown them was entirely inconsistent with the admission of the sovereignty of the United States in that region. Sovereignty to' be sovereignty always carried with it the right to self-defense, and If the United States had waived Its right to maintain Its sovereignty In the canal by every means In its power it would have thrown a cloud upon that very sovereignty.

If now in this crisis of opinion as to our rights in the imposing of tolls His Majesty's government finds no fault with our attitude in the matter of defenses, it may be taken for granted that our right stands upon a very broad and sound basis, and that the fussy protests of a few American busybodles have served no other purpose than to reveal to outside nations the deplorable existence in the republic of a body of citizens who are ready to strangle a national right that all other countries are ready to recognize. By challenging so clearly defined a 'ght and duty as that of fortifying the canal the anti-militarists display not only their ignorance, but also their unwillingness to look into a question of national policy far enough to run the risk of having their views chanced by the facts. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty is not ancient history. It has to do with our own days, and yet the antl-fortiflcation-ists were unwlling to examine It closely enough to learn that the intention of the United States to erect fortifications was admitted and virtually acquiesced in by the diplomatic agents of England at the time of the signing of that treaty. The memoranda of Secretary of State John Hay which were sent to the Senate committee on foreign relations for their guidance put this understanding with Great Britain beyond all question.

Had the opponents of fortification In the United States studied this question, not as doc-trinairies, but as patriotic citizens, they would not now be left high and dry by the formal announcement of the British government. The further question of exempting the coastwise shipping of the United States from tolls hinges entirely upon the point whether this remission will Increase the tolls of foreign shipping. We quoted from the Maritime Register last week the statement that it would not, that the exemption would have no augmenting effect upon the tolls. Here, It would seem, Is a question for merchant marine experts to pass upon first If the contention of the Register Is correct, then the last objection of the British government falls of its own weight. Nearly every other aspect of canal traffic has been passed upcn by experts: why cannot the effect of toll exemption be passed upon by an International commission of shipping ex-perts? It would assuredly be a lamentable waste of effort and a needless straining of the ties of International friendship to engage in a long diplomatic controversy over certain effects of a toll regulation, which effects may never actually develop and may prove to be as Imaginary as the antl-mifitarists' claim that this nation has no treaty right to fortify the isthmus.

GOVERNOR FOSS AND THE NEW HAVEN. (From the Boston Journal.) Governor Foss is reported on high authority to he preparing to repeat In his Inaugural address ideas he ha3 urged for one or two -years find to press them with force upon the new Legislature for ad op- tion. This is the way of successful agita- uon aim reiorms are me result ii Is the man who hammers away with the persistence and force of his convictions who wins his contention. Of all the recommendations urged in 19U upon the State by the Governor none was put with more emphasis and force; none created more attention than that of railroad monopoly. The3e were the words of the message: "Our own State laws must be applied to the protection of industry and commerce from corporation abuses.

Yet, through the neglect of State officials, the power of State governments to prevent such injuries has fallen into abeyance; and some of the States have even foster ed combfnations by creating holding "We have such a company In this State, known as the Boston Railroad Holding company; but it is wholly indefensible, and I now demand that the constitutional power of the commonwealth be exercised to dissolve it. "This holding company was created, by the enactment of a previous Legislature, for the sole purpose of permiting the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad company to acquire control of the Boston Maine railroad in violation of public policy and the statutes of the State. "Both railroads enter Boston, but at opposite sides of the city; and this holding company has enabled both railroads to maintain a break in their freight and passenger service at this great center of industry and population while enjoying all the benefits of combination and public franchise. "It Is preposterous to permit the union of these companies so long as the public is denied the benefit of a united railroad service for through passenger and through freight "At present both passenger and freight service is fixed at the rates and over the routes most profitable or convenient to the companies, without reference to public convenience or economy. "The loss to the public under these conditions has been and Is enormous.

"The Boston Railroad Holding company must be dissolved. This is the first step toward securing the right of the people tn aAannata ttoTVic.Pi." The Governor centered his speakinr to Ollt BIGHT TO FORTIFY THE PANAMA CAXAL. (From the Army and Navy Journal.) The canal tolls controversy has done one very good thing, even If it shall be shown eventually to be only a tempest in a teapot. It has brought out the clear admission from Great Britain that the I'nited States has an undoubted right to fortify the canal waterway. It will be recalled that when the question of fortifications was first broached by the war department some months ago there was great outcry by the "anti-militarists" of this country against what they called a violation of the principle of neutrality expressed in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.

They made little headway with their ab-eurd crusade as it did not 'take the war department long to show that the best way to ensure neutrality was to give the United States the power to enforce neutrality, and that this power could not be exercised if the waterway were without defenses, for then it would become the possession of the first nation disposed to seize it, and in that case, as in the million others since the beginning of society, it might be found that possession was nine points in the law. In his note of protest against the imposition of unequal tolls on the canal, as he puts it, or, as the American government would call it, the exempting of our coastwise ships from tolls, Sir Edward Crey says: "Now that the United States have become the practical sovereign of the canal. His Majesty's government does not question their title to exercise belligerent rights for its protection." Thus in a few words the British diplomat utterly demolishes the case against fortification which has been so elaborately constructed by the anti-militarists, but in advocating which, it is only fair to say, they never received any sympathy from foreigners. Sir Edward's admission Is entirely In keeping with the contention of the Army and Navy Journal, which from the beginning of the discussion has pointed to adequate defenses as the sole means by which the neutralization of the canal could be enforced. With that fantastic ability to make the most noise when their case Is the most insubstantial, persistent misrepresentation by the anti-militarists has deceived a few Into the belief that neutralization" means the de-barring of forts and guns from the canal zone, a Iheory which a moment's clear reasoning "We sell Shswmut Rubber- F.
