WHY THERE WAS NO THANKSGlV
ING DINNER AT THE WHITE
HOUSE,
Washington Republican

The usual Thanksgiving dinner at the
White House did not come off this year;
and there must be something very funny
about it, for the subject creates good
many sly winks and smiles whenever it is
mentioned before any of the gentlemen
connected with the presidents personal
staff. 1t is an old.time custom for the
president to give, on Thanksgiving Day,
dinner to his private secretary, assistant
private secretary, executive clerk and other
gentlemen of the White House, and their
wives. 1t WAS done last yoar, and has not
been omitted before for at least twenty
years II has been suggested that econ
omy is at the bottom of this omission on
the part Of the president; but This is
shameless insinuation. The president is,
without doubt careful with his money
| which is very proper, considering that he
gets only $4,000 year, and that his term
of Office expires about fifteen months IRON
now; but it is hardly fair to say that he
failed to give the usual dinner on econ
omic grounds The president is a very
rich man; he has three or four children
who would be thrown upon cold world II
anything should happen their iather-bu
he would not miss the cost of a dinner to
his clerks, Besides all the vegetables for
the white house are furnished by the pub
lie gardner, and his meats come from the
commissary department at the nom
inal price OF II few cents per
pound. The president gets his house
rent free, his gas free, his fuel free, and
most of his servants free. AS he does not
furnish wine-thc costliest part OF an en-
tcrtainment--to his guests, his living cX-
pcnses must come within $4,000 year
He then has Il clear saving of $4,000 a
year from his salary alone, to say nothing
of his large income from his private for
tune. The president has done some unwise
things, no doubt-who has not?-but it is
unfair to say that he omitted an oldtimc
custom that would not have cost him $40
to follow, Oh the ground OF economy. 1t
has even been suggested-so cOntemptihe
are some minds that somebody made the
president gift Of several turkeys, and that
he did not give the customary dinner be-
cause the cranbcrries were not sent too.
The real reason in the case is, understand,
that the president went to Philadelphia to
spend his Thanksgiving, A low-niinded
wretch, upon hearing this remark said:
swell, he didn't take the cook and his tur-
keys with him did hc3 The boys would
have had quite as good u time in the state
dining room with the president absent
All this is small business. The president is
a good, moral, religious man. He is gentle,
and many on that account, may call him
weak and insipid. But he has u pure ma
ture, which should be the admiration Of all
mankind. 1t was not on economical
grounds that he discarded an old custom,
surely. The truth, however, is promised
by competent authority after Mr.. Hayes
retires from the White Monse.

geo. This gave Democratic and u Dem

Now what?
President Hayes and Secretary John
Sherman by their late assault on the Green
back and the coinage Of Silver have shock
ed and repealed the Greenbackcrs, Nation
ais and those who believe in the silver dol
lar of the fathers. However much the
president may disclaim any intention to
make the hostility to the Grecnback and
silver money an administration measure,
his official, well. weighed, declared hostility
to this --thc peoples money-has unveiled
the purpose Of the "money power that
controls the Republican party. The natural
result will be to throw the Democrats and
Greenbackcrs together in political action,
and such unity of action will insure the de-
feat of the Republican party.

DICKENS AND THACKERAY

Herald Interview with Publisher lippDcott.
How do you like Dickens personality
" Dickens was naturally good hearted,
Jolly, pleasant fellow. But his early and
brilliant success turned his head. Like
Napoleon, he was intoxicated by his own
glory. To use horsy expression, he felt
his oats Il little too much. He was a good
deal of fop and little OF Il snob in his
dress and manners. 1t was pert, if not
impGrtinent, for Dickens, young man Of
thirty, to call Washington Irving an old
man Of sixty and the most famous living
writer, MY dear Irving But lib suobbery
and foppery were forgotten in the presence
Of the man himself, he was so hearty, fresh
and jovial."
"Do his novels still SCH welI'
"Oh, yes; tlcy SELL but q reaction in
favor of Thackeray has set in. Thackcmy
won his way slowly to recognition, and he
was all the better for it. lie was thirty
seven when he wrote Vanity Fair the
novel which established his reputation.
After that his course was right onward.
Thackeray was less ELUSIVE than Dickens,
hut he was more genuine. licwas delight
full at private dinner party, but not so
ready az Dickens as puplic speaker.
The latter was particularly happy upon
such occasions. Once, at meeting Of the
the Authors Fund Society, Tom Campbell,
the chairman, could not preside, and
Dickens was called upon, at u moments
notice, to take his place. lie made Il brill
liant impromptu speech, which surprised
and delighted all who heard it. Thacke-
ray enjoyed good dinner lie was
particularly fond of American oysters and
c ,nvass- backed ducks. In fact, g was too
much of club mamie ate too many
good dinners. His literary fame, though
less splendid than Dickens during life,
will probably be more lasting"

WE believe with the Quincy Herald that
the people of Memphis have commenced in
time and in earnest TO avert the horrors OF
another yellow fever epidemic. And in Or
der to aid the unfortunate city, Governor
Marks of Tennessee has issued call for an
extra session Of the Legislature to enact
such laws for the sanitary improvement of
the city of Memphis as the citizens of that
place have decided to be necessary. The
special session is to meet on the 10th inst.
The Memphis people have agreed that their
streets must be repaired, system Of sewers
constructed and other measures of puritica-
ton taken, if they desire to escape another
visitation of yellow fever next summer, and
that these improvements will demand
special tax of two per cent Oh property
ami an additional tax ON privileges. I'm
der the present laws of the State those taxes
cannot be LEVIED, anu the legislature Is 10
be asked to pass special acts giving the re-
quired authority The citizens Of the un-
fortunate city have made up their minds to
sacrifice part of their property, If neces-
sary, to preserve the remainder. The pro
posed additional tax would be heavy bur
den on them in their present condition, but
itwould not be nearly so large sum as
they spend annually in removing to other
cities to escape the summer epidemic, to
say nothing of the losses brought about by
the suspension of business. Their city
must be either abandoned or purified Mt Il
heavy expense-and they have decided in
favor of the latter.

TIE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

1t Is conceded on all hands that in the
next Presidential contest the South
will be "solid" for the Democratic
Presidential candidate. The action of
the Republican party has made that iney-
table. And that vote Will be counted
as It is given--for the Democratic candi-
date if 50 given.
Now, what has. the Republican party
done Of late to assure il victory next year
in New York, Connecticut, Indiana and
New Jersey These four states gave their
Electoral votes to the Democratic Presi-
Dental candidate in 1876. Naturally,
they are Democratic states.
In 1878, the Republicans had plu-
rality in New York over the Democrats
of 34,661; but the Grcenbackers polled
1888, the most Of which came from the
Democratic ranks.
Connecticut, in 1878, gave the Republi-
can candidate for governor over the Dem
ocratic candidate plurality Of 2,4s9: but
the Greenback candidate polled 1914
votes. These Greenback votes nearly oil
came from the Democratic party.
On the Congressional vote in Newt Jer-
sey, IN 1878, the total Republican vote was
1854, Democratic 1888 and National
a4,809--making the Democratic and Green
back vote combined 1O4,541, and being a
majority Of l4,O23 over the Republican
vote.

grcssional vote was Democratic 1858
