THE fact that the recent political up
heaval was confined to the North leads the
st. Paul Pioneer Press 20 conclude that the
South is as solid as ever for the Democracy.
1t sees no such feXibility Of political OF i'm
ion there as the elections demonstrated
there is in the North. And this immova-
bllity the Pioneer-Press thinks is the great
est proof of the unfiJness Of the Democratic
party, which is controlled by the South,
to govern the country. "The Southern
States,'' it says, "are as changeless as the
stagnant pool within whose turbid waters
the higher forms of life cannot exist. They
threaten the nation, not by any definitely
announced intentions, but by the mental
and moral state which their attitude argues.
No whole section can deny change without
DENYING progress. 1t cannot for two dec
AIDES remain joined to its idols without
thereby confessing lack of any high ideals,
an insensibiIity to the objects of self-govern-
ment, blind, stupid determination to keep
on in the old track at any cost, which make
1t in the. last degree unfit to share the re
sponsibilities of power"
The Portland daily press., 1882-11-30

The turkey roosts in the neighborhood of
Democratic editors are all locked up. Least
ways that is the inference to be drawn from
the complaint of one Of their number, the
Philadelphia Times, which remarks that
'the only thing needed to make the Demo-
cratic editor happy is the power to change
the fatigued rooster, still growing in his col
umns, into a Thanksgiving turkey"

THEY are not very expert counters in
Washington Territory. In Olympia, with
45S votes, it took an all night session and
until 8 O'clock the next morning to finish
the count. The papers demand some change
in the law which will enable the election Of
ficers to count faster. Perhaps some change
in the officers might have good effect

THANKSGIVING.

Than ksgving, the great New England
festival, has become national festival, and
will be appropriately or improperly observed
to-day in every State of the Union. 1t
ought to be observed everywhere in the spir-
1t of the two procamations that stand at
the be ad of these columns-in a spirit of
gratitude for the manifold blessings that
have been showered upon us; as a special
tribute to the joys of home life, and spec
ial occasion for deeds of kindness and char
fly to the suffering and needy; as a most
fitting time TO enter into the gates Of the
Lord with thanksgiving and into His courts
with praise.
In this spirit the feast will be celebrated
in most households. AS on all HOLIDAYS the
license given to merry making will be
abused, and the rich opportunities of the
day by some let go to waste. But in gener-
al the time will be thankfully and reverent-
ly employed, as our forefalhers intended.
ONE phase of the German ministerial pro-
gramme in respect 70 taxation does not APP
pear to be generally understood. AS smat-
tiers stand, the expenses of the government
are borne by the people directly, and the
vast influx of foreign visitors who swarm
all over the land during the summer and au-
tumn especially, smoke its cheap segars and
drink its cheap wines and liquors without
contributing anything toward payment for
the protection they enjoy, A tax in the
form of license upon these luxuries would
produce revenue that would materially
tighten the direct charges upon the working
classes, and although their little luxuries
might be somewhat enhanced in cost, it
would not be to an extent sufficient to out
weigh the advantage they would gain in the
lessening of direct imposts. The foreigner
would pay his share Of police expenses, and
that share would hardly be felt by each in
dividual. Bsmark is endeavoring to be the
workingman's friend.
