TIN DUTCH METHOD.

Coming to New York. we find Mr..
Broadhead saving III has history that
the proclamation by the Cove rnment
authority in this State OF days OF fast
inc was a custom darived from Holland.
Yet with this able and worthy writer
everything VAS Dutch.
The records of thanksgiving In New
York are so scattered that II would be
difficult Ia bring them together IN an
ordered series. As In New England,
the observance during the seventeenth
century WAS sporadic. Only about
dozen mentions of the day are found
in the colonial histories.
In New York. as elsewhere. the peo-
ple were not always happy in the selec-
fion of the occasion for thanksgiving.
One of the early festivals recorded was
that of l644 A manuscript which the
Dutoh preserved AT the Hague shows
that in I644 the New Workers marched
To Greenwich, Conn, and shot ar burn
IA alive five or six hundred Indians, In
olnding women and children They
then marched back to New YORK and
sat down thanksgiving diuner.
In 1854. New York found more nt'
ting occasion for THANKSGIVING IN ths
neaee arranged between England and
Holland: but the next year IL was fe'
the victory over the Swedes In New
Jersey. In 1863 general prosperity was
the staple of gratitude among the ouren
srs, and in l644 the 'Esopns war wa'
ended with thanks. In 1865 New Am
sierdam changed hands, and the Eng
lieh kept thanksgiving for the "con

IN THE COLONIES.

In Connecticut the records show that
tha oksgivings were ordered at intervals
from 1899 down to ZIG, after which the
observance was quite regular, all "ser-
vile labor" being prohibited ou that
day. as in England and all New England.
Fast davs often followed the festival.
and were ordered in the same proclama
ton. In 1860 the New Haven authorl
ties confessed that they were nonplussed;
IA the scribe observes, they could not
"pich upon day.
In Rhode Island, as elsewhere. various
of the Massachusetts appointments
were observed. In New Jersey the re
cords of thanksgiving are few. though
common political events appear to have
been improved quite regularly.
In Virginia, whose early history was
overshadowed by frightful calsmit'es,
little appears to have been done, yet
DAYS were observed in obedience To the
Home Government. The records need
to be searched in order 10 show particu-
lars of the obs rvance; Yet the same
royal proclamations that reached TO
New England went to Virginia, and
with substantially the same results.

Neflson's Rejoinder.

W. NJ. Nelson announces
Sharn's denial of the Sharon Hill
marriage in the Examiner, and
among other things says:
It is to be observed that in oil
Mr.. Sharon has said Ae evadss the
real issue. In tho telegram for
Sunday. for instance, hs says "he
never borrowed money from the
lady" Nobody ever said he did.
Yet it il true that he took her mon
ey under the pretsnse Of investing
it for her, and still retains con-
siderable portion OF it. for which
she holds evidence.
He says tho lady had "a noble
father" How did this wealthy
Senator of tho United States bear
that fact in mind? How did he
treat the daughter Of "a noble
father? When that question
comes to be fairly answered in
Court, the proofs will be such as
have probably never before been
equalled in . Court of Justice.
It will be noticed that Mr.. Sharon
does not say that his letters are
forgsries, or deny the admissions
he made. If thecontract were de-
stroyad there would remain suf6-
Gent evidences to sustain the mar

CAN THIS BE

The Reveille continues to agitats
the Senatorial question and under
the above head says:
Democrat" in yesterdays Rev
ellie. asserts that it is now talked IN
the political circles Of Western Ne
vada that either Mackay or Sharon
will enter the lists next year against
Jones next year and they will come
out Is Democrats. The actions OF
Senator Fair, who did just this
thing, give it = very plausible ap-
pearauce. But what . sad spec.
tacle it presents to the world.
Lifelong Republicans, for the
expty honors of SsDatorship. tramp
ling party and principle under foot
and making gold the only essential.
With the experience of the past be
fore rs, it is . safe prediction to
make that If Mackay does enter the
fight he will win it Is Fair did and
will be Senator. If he doss, If this
State sells out to him, it will have
no right to complain at any thing he
does, or if ho does not occupy his
seat at al, for he will have bought
it and it will belong to him because
We will have sold it to him. A.
we'll might . man complain at an
Others treatment of q horse after he
had sold it. 1t will be we'll for the
people to open their eyes and sec
things as they are, and then If We
step into tho scheme We deserve no
sympathy.
The chances are that most OF the
Senatorial rumors start from q gen
eral wish on the part of . majority
of the public that they would like
to see plenty of coin in the fight.
Mackay, Jones and Sharon making
a three-cornered wrestls for the
great stakes and clashing their
sacks in the fray might be hor'
rible thing to contemplate from .
purely patriotic and copper-rivsted
constitutional point of visw. but
there 10 no Disgusting the fact that
nine men out of ten want it Just
that way. The APPEAL believes
that the agitation now being made
in the Senatorial question can dc
no harm and will continue to pub
lish anything and everything thai
can be advanced upon the subject
from either side. Every man hal
the right to express his ideas upon
the matter and cut Of this agitation

its principles and it, work. car
