THANKSGIVING DAY.

1t has been the custom for some years tc
observe this day in the borough of Strouds
burg, by holding union service in one OF
the churches, commencing about l0I clock,
a. m, and closing about u, m.
This year the place for holding the ser
vice is the Methodist Episcopal Church, it
having been held last year, in the Presby-
terian, and the year previous. in the Lutheran
Church.
All the pastors of the borough are ex-
pccted to take part in the service, but the
annual sermon is to be preached by the pas
tor of the Lutheran Church, Rev. Mr.. Mar
riott. Last year, Rev. Mr. Mcconnell Off
ciated, and the year previous, Rev. Mr..
Dinsmore. We like this custom, and are
thus full in our statement of it that it may
be continued for years to come, though min
listers may change, and churches multiply.
Would it not be well for all places of bust
ness in the borough to be closed during the
hours of church service?
What say you? Have the citizens no rea-
son to be thankful? Shall Stroudsburp be
behind in the religious observance of this
National Thanksgiving Day? We hope not.
Let next Thursday show us that our hope is
not labor in vain j. S. j.

b6y- The Morons place great confidence in
their ability to upset the decision in the poly
gamy cases in the United States District Court
for Utah One of the test cases, which they
have carried up to the Supreme Court of the
United States, has just reached that tribunal,
and will be made to prove the validity of the
rning of the Utah Court which tries ofenses
by jury made up by the United States Mar
shall instead ofthe Utah Sheriff. On this point
Brigham Young objected when he called the
anti-polgamy panel "a packed jury" The ap-
peal case does not involve the Mormon prac-
tice of polygamy, so we shall have the con-
troverted point settled on purely constitutions
al grounds.

~ TIE next will dobutless be a short
term of Congress, and notwithstanding this,
there are over seven hundred bills on the cal
enders Of the two houses, some of them of tie
greatest importance. Among them are bills
removing political disabilities imposed by the
fourteenth amendment, bills to abolish the
income tax, bills to reduce taxation in var
ious ways, and most important of all bills to
restore peace and prosperity to the south.
Should the present active measures of the
government succeed in disbanding and for
ever breaking up the Ku-Klux bands, doubt
less this Congress will remove all political
disabilities heretofore imposed, and declare
universal amnesty throughout the land. Let
us ali hope for this result.
