EDITOR CHIEF:
New York is about as much of q
New England city as Boston, and
thanksgiving, the Presidents Sun
day, is as religiously observed. BUSH
ness of every kind was suspended,
except the uptown drinking places,
which did a bigger business than
usual. There were thousands of tur-
keys consumed, acres of pumpkin
pies, bsFrels of cider, and the day
was given oyer to mirth and jollity.
The charities all gave their benefcia-
ries turkey dinner. The Newsboys'
Home fed over two thousand waits,
on turkey and mince pies, and a
pleasant sight it was to see the home
less and hungry tase a square meal,
something they may not get again
till next thanksgiving. The churches
were more than usually crowded, and
altogether the day was success.
Silver Is so plenty as to become a
nuisance. 1t is only worth 93 cents
on the dollar, and the retailers, res
taurant keepers and others are taking
advantage of it. You go into res
taurant and tender a s. greenback
and you win get back SO in silver
dollars. Az these people pay SO
cents for them they. }. make seven
cents every time they can do this,
which 10 q very handsome addition to
their profits. The places OF amuse-
ment buy silver regularly to give ont
in ciiange, and the result is, silver is
the circulating medium. 1.-THE Bland
bin should pass, it would drive ont
gold and paper money altogether.
