A BACK stairs organ which has an al
legged existence in the east part of the
county publishes a bilious composition
from some unknown Lanc4ster scribbler
asserting that THE HERALD and the
Boscobel Dial were engaged in a design
to eXterminate the asylum committee in
the recent session of the County Board.
We do not know how the Dial feels
about it but to The HERALD it is anoth-
er illustration of the old saw of going
away from home to get the news. THE
HERALD was not ware of any such
bloodthirsty intentions as it was credit
ed with. In point of fact having al
ways been a strong supporter of the
county asylum plan, in which position it
differed radically from those with whom
it was associated by the bilious Bohe-
milan aforesaid, it much prefers to have
matters 90 along smoothly than other
wise. Its sole aim is and has been to
obtain a comfortable home for the I'M
fortunate insane of the county, in pur-
suit of which aim it dared to go ahead
and blaze the way for others to follow,
including the asylum committee. 1t
has no desire as alleged to stir up a
stencil in regard to the present asylum
believing it to be the wiser policy to let
well enough alone. THE HERALD is
satisfied hat the board should have
passed n resolution of thanks to the
committee and has no desire to 90 be-
hind the returns. Yet even its desire
for a harmonious completion of a much
needed institution does not involve a
swallowing of everything done by build
ing committees past, present or future,
at n gulp. In pursuit of its duty as a
newsgather the asylum was visited by
a representative of the paper and
the building written up. This will
doubtless happen many more times
before the asylum is ready for occu-
pancy. Being governed by no rule but
its duty to the public, having no m to
fear and asking favors from none, THE
HERALD gave then and will give in the
future, a fair and correct account of the
progress of the work. 1t has certainly
no desire to put anybody in the pillory
and, in the same connection, would say
that martyrdom comes not by posing no
matter how pathetic the attitude. As
The HERALD has been the only paper
in the county which has given the com
mittee an earnest support wherever it
can honestly do so, the assinity of the
assertions made are the more plainly APP
parent. 1t probably comes however
from a constitutional difficulty with the
gable end of the erratic~ scribbler which,
for the time being, produces a tendency
to color blindness as to motives and i'm
tentions.

The Day We Celebrate.

Nhen that little band OF Pilgrims
gathered on the bleak and barren shores
of Plymouth Bay to return thanks to
the giver of all life, for the goodness
which had saved them, a mere handful,
out of the goodly company, from the i'll
ness and death which had so sadly deci-
matedtheir ranks they little thought that
the custom then i~naugurated would go
down the ages. That their descendants
from n generation to another would
gather in turn each year to return their
thanks for the blessings the year had
brought, or for the sheltering care which
had protected them when others have
fallen. But the usage has ~broadened
with the national growth. The grim
austerity which was in entire keeping
with the stern purpose and high resolve
of the Pilgrim Fathers has given way to
a more genial, cheerful jollity. The
broad forests have been felled, the skirts
of the republic have been broadened and
the hearts of its children have broad
ened with them. 1t is the time of home
reunions, of the return of the C ildren.
1t is The day of the year, overshadowing
in its Importance that other memento of
the sweetly sounded tidings of peace
and good will to men," 1t is also n
national day and as such has an addi-
tional hold on the dwellers throughout
all parts of this broad country from the
humble cotter TO the daintiest sybarite.
For q few hours a chord is touched in
every heart and the response of thank
fulness swell or across the broad
plains, rivers and valleys, which separ-
ate the Atlantic from the Pacific, until
the tone which is struck on the rock
bound coasts of New England goes quiv-
ering in melodious rythm down to the
shores of the Golden Gate. A pean of
thanks to the father of ali for his glorious
love and manifold blessings. Would
that this came from every heart on the
broad continent, that the melody wove
in and out. entwining every life, but the
saddening thought comes, as a false
note in a delicious harmony, that there
are hearts which fail to respond to the
glad song of praise. The poor and
friendless, who, in their windowless
novels or noisome room, foul with the
fevered air of pestilence-breeding tene-
ment houses wake to another day of
misery, Knocked by the grinning fiends
of want and starvation, that with
skinny fingers, are winding their ghastly
cords around the poor %outcast. 1.-The
poor We have always with YOU" In the
midst of plenty, when the heart is filled
to the brim, full and running over with
love and happiness, it will beat to ever
a quicker measure if it is felt that some
n hungry soul has been relieved and
made to realize that this is indeed the
feast of Thanksgiving. 1t is one of the
missions of the day to extend happi-
ness to every living creature. Now to its
numerous home circle, which in spirit it
beholds assembled ready for the attack,
THE HERALD tenders its wishes for a
happy Thanksgiving and II shower of
blessings through the year to come.
