TERMS OF AD VERTISIN'G. The Lowest of any local paper on bus circulation, and no cut rates The Lesson of the Holiday Season. No matter to what extent the busi— ness depression may have compelled economy in the ordinary expenditures of a large class of the population, it seems to an ordinary observer to have affected the holiday trade very little. Perhaps the purchases are less expen- sive than formerly, perhaps the useful. predominates over the ornamental to an unusual degree, but the streets and shops are crowded with eager humanity of all ages and conditions selecting and purchasing the gifts that will remind thousands of glad recipients not only that the Christmas season has returned but that the Christmas spirit still ani- mates the children of menin as great a degree as ever. Of course our merchants will profit by the custom of remembering friends. in the glad Christmas time as they de- serve to—for they who minister to the? cultivation of the Christmas spirit by providing the means for its adequate expression are public benefactors no less than they who buy to confer happi- ness upon others. Many a purchaser, perplexed beyond measure as to the choice of suitable Christmas remem- brances, has been helped out of his or her perplexity by an inspection of the Christmas advertisements in the GA- ZETTE and enabled to select appropriate gifts, the choice of which would not have been suggested but for the adver- tisements inspired by a desire to secure lucrative trade. The active holiday trade should do more than“ bless the givers and re- cipients of the gifts of the season. It should put heart and hope into our business people, stop the cry of hard times and inspire confidence in the re- storation of a business activity that shall extend beyond the holiday sea- son. If those who stocked their stores for the holiday trade with many mis- givings as to whether there would be purchasers for their wares have found their fears without foundatlon, why shall they not provide for a steady and , lucrative business in the future and go about their business with an air of con- fidence that will both deserve and in- sure the realizaticn of their hopes ? The brisk Christmas shopping is a hopeful augury for the future. ‘It in» dicates that the worst of the financial depression is over; that demand is catching up with supply; that men, women and children want and must have the products of farm, factory and mine for their comfort and maintenance, and that those with faith in the future who prove their faith by their works, will reap a rich financial reward. “fi‘ New Schoolhouse for Norwalk. At the meeting of the senators and representatives of Fairfield county at Bridgeport Wednesday, to lay a county tax for the coming year, every senator and representativewas present with two exceptions.

A General Exodus Already Begun From the Capitul——\V0rk Pushed Through in Both Branches—One Day \Vithout Exciting Scenes. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.—Mr. Hoar, (rep, Mass.) in a. speech in the senate yesterday discussed the Hawaiin subject from the point of the legality of Mr. Blount’s ap- pointment as commissioner, avowiug the readiness of himself and his colleagues on the republican side to debate the question in its entirety as Soon as the president’s message and theaccompanying documents are reported back from the committee on foreign relations. His speech was followed by the ofi'ering of a resolution by Mr. Mor— gan (dem., Ala.) instructing that commit- tee to inquire and report whether “ll‘l‘3;_,- ularities" have occurred in the diplomatic or other intercourse between the United States and Hawaii in relation to the re- cent revolution. Mr. Morgan explained briefly the motives which actuated him in offering the resolution; and the resolution was agreed to Without further remark or question. . The urgent deficiency bill was passed by the senate without amendment, after a brief discussion of the item for the pay- meat of mileage at the present, session— the argument being on the part of those senators who were opposed to it, that the mileage paid at the extra session was in- tended simply as an anticipation of that which would be due at the first regular session. That view, hoWeVer, did not meet the approval of the senate and the action to strike out the clause was defeated by a vote of about 3 to l. . The resolution which Mr. Morgan had offered Monday fora joint committee of senators and representatives on the Nica- ragua canal was taken up and agreed to without discussion. The senate agreed to the house concur- rent resolutiou for the holiday recess from today till \Vednesday, Jan. 3, 189-1; having first corrected :1 blunder in the resolution which named Monday as the 3d of January. It also concurred in the conference report on the Hudson river bridge bill, the house having already done so. House of Representatives. The greater part of the day was taken up in the house by a consideration of the New York and New Jersey bridge bill, and after some discussion, chiefly confined to the New York members, the bill as amended in conference was agreed to. The urgent deficiency bill, which was defeated in the closing hours of the extra session, wasreported by Mr. Sayers (dam, Tex), who moved that the house continue to disagree on the item to pay senators’ clerks and senate employes during the re- cess of the 5lst congress. Mr. Coombs (dem., N. Y.), ihowever, moved that the house rccede from its dis- agreement to the senate amendment, and after some discussion and a call for yeas nays, Mr. Coombs’ motion prevailed and the obstacle was overcome. A joint resolution was adopted in the house providing that the Christmas re- cess extend from Thursday, Dec. 21, to \Veilnasday, Jan. 3, 1894. The holiday exodus from Washington began last night and by tomorrow there will be few statesmen to be found in the city. Postmastcrs Confirmed.
