THANKSGIVING.

Today in response to a suggestion
Of tho President backed up by his
Excellency, Gov. Adams, all good
Nevadans will celebrate Thanksgiv-
ing. Oar people, although growl-
ing a good deal ever hard times,
have much to be thankful for. Our
bullion output although not flow
ing in very heavy streams from the
old C,mstock, is trickling in
thousand rivulets from all parts of
the State, and the grain in our
valleys, and the cattle in the hills
show a steady advance over past
years.
Mining, trade and agriculture
haye all received something of an
impetus during the last twelve
months. Oar population has de-
creased. bit the loss has been
mainly confined to the float rock IF
humanity and easily spared.
Under an honest Republican
Government the Sta4e's finances
are in god condition.
We have elected Republican
Congre ssmln and have the means
at hand to return a Republican
Senator to Washington.
NJ plaques have visited our
borders and we are happy in being
beyond the disso!ving heat Of Sum
m or and the bitter winds Of an in
clement Winter.
Thc Legislature meets on Janu-
airy LIST, and the Morning APPEAL
will not be published tomorrow.
All in all there is much for the
people Of this State to feel happy
over. Nor is there any necessity
of adulterating the cup of

Mckinley and the Wool Duty.

Mr.. Mckinley, Of Ohio, who is regarded
as the champion 81 the protectionists in
the House. said in a lengthy speech on
the tariff a day or two ago that the profits
OF the wool growers Of Ohio had been re-
duced more than S1,00O,00O by the reduc-
ton in the duty on wool made by the tariff
bill Of last Congress. Mr.. Mckinley and
all the other Ohio protectiOnists want the
old duty restored. They do not pretend to
show that the wool growers are not making
good profits at present, and they do not
allege that the wool growing industry is
becoming less important because Of the
reduction. They simply allege that the
wool growers profits are not as great as
they were. They do not care, Of course,
who paid the profits about which there is
a controversy, but it can hardly be denied
that that is a very important question.
There are great many more interested in
il than there are in the restoration Of the
wool duty. Every body in the country
who bought wooden goods paid part Of
the extra profits which the wool growers
want restored. The wool growers are

will increase the, r profits, and, perhaps. it
was a little hard on them 10 make a
much greater reduction in the-duty on an
article which they produce than in the
duties on articles which they consume,
but they can look to the future and the
Democratic party to effect satisfactory
adjustment. When the praper reductions
are made on all articles, the wool grow

end Of the year, Will be fully as well. if
not better of than they were before the
wool duty was reduced. 1t is worth
nAticing in this connection that the
manufacturers Of wooden goods, although
they are highly protected, are strongly
opposed to the restoration Of the old wool
duty. If they had their way they would
put wool on the free list. The selfshness
Of those who enjoy the benfts Of pro-
hibitory tariff is frequently shown, but it
is seldom more conspicuously shown than
it was last winter when the wooden
manufacturers appeared in Washington

A NUGGETS ROMANCE.
The History of the Love of a Being who
Weighs Five Pounds.

There is a romance connected with the
life of Lucia Zarate, the wee speck OF
humanity now on exhibition at the Mu-
scum. says the Philadelphia Press of the
10Th inst. which has never been made
public, and which came out yesterday by
the merest accident. The little lady was
looking out into the vast sea of faces sur
rounding her elevated platform, when sud-
denly She gave little scream, and, COW
ering her face with pair of hands about
as big as a mans thumb nail. she began
to cry.
When asked for an explanation by Mr..
Uhner, her manager, she said she had
seen face which reminded her of her be-
trothed lover, with whom she was obliged
to break her engagement because of her
diminutiveness. According to a Mexican
custom, Lucia was betrothed while in her
cradle to the infant son of a wealthy
rancherO. The children grew up together,
and at 10 years Of age the boy was a stur-
dy little fellow of natural size. Lucia, on
the contrary, was not as large as a good
sized doll. She weighed but four pounds,
and her hands were so tiny that each Of
them could be covered by a thimble. As
time rolled on it was very evident that ma
ture had never intended that she should
grow like other people, and at the age of
Is her parents nearly broke her little heart
by telling her that the engagement must
be broken. 1t did seem ridiculous that a
speck of humanity, weighing less than
five pounds and just tall enough to touch
a mans knee. should be engaged to marry
a strapping young fellow of $50 pounds,
but she stubbornly persisted that she
would grow in time, and nearly cried her
eyes out when taken from home to make
her forget her love. For six years she did
not see her youthful lover, and had appa-
rently forgotten him, until she was so
startled yesterday.

A NEW TELEGRAPH SYSTEM.
The Improved Plan Which Has Been
Exhibited in Boston.

Exhibited In Boston.
A new telegraph system by which the
present code is simplifed, says a Boston
special to the New York Times, has been
exhibited here. Chemically prepared
paper, moved by clock work, receives the
record Of signals sent over the lines,
which are represented by dots and dashes
as in the Morse code. On the moving
stripof paper rests the points Of six fine
iron wires or styluses. and the chief fea-
ture Of the new system consists in enab-
ling the operator at the transmitting
station TO make a signal through which
ever one Of the six styluses he may
choose, although only one line wire IS
used, and in this way to make the posi-
tiOn Of the mark which is recorded in the
chemical paper play part in determin-
ing its meaning. The new system IS the
application to telegraphy of the system
Of notation employed in music. just
as the pitch of a half-nOte is determined
by the bar in which it occurs, so tele-
graphic character is by this method given
six different meanings, according to the
stylus through which it is sent and the
position in which it is recorded. The bars
OF the staff are ruled by copper styluses,
which make a red line on the receiving
strip as il is moved forward, a constant
current from a local battery being passed
through them for this purpose. When
message is to be sent by hand six keys are
used at the transmitting station, each cor
responding to one of the styluses at the
receiving station, or one key pivOted to
swing easily over six contact points may
be employed. As each signal has six diff
ferent meanings. according to the bar on
which it occurs. only One-siXth as many
are required as in the Morse system, and
for these the shortest and simplest are Sc
lected. Thus, dot is used for the six
letters which occur most frequently. In
this way the actual time occupied in max
ing the signals required to send message
is reduced fully Ohe-half from that re-
quired by the Morse system, so that the
speed OF transmission is doubled.
Among the advantages claimed by the
new system are the readiness with which
it is learned, the ease with which a mes
sage can be translated after it is received,
and the impossibility of stealing it from
the wires during Transmission by the use
of a sounder. The process of sending
messages has been still further simplitied
by machine just completed, in which
each letter is given a separate key, by the
depression Of which the proper signal is
sent over the wire automatically, thus
requiring no more skill to send a message
than IN ODpFafn a fVnn-Writpr

A FIVE MINUTES PEN PICTURE.
The Senate of the United States in
Session,


Sitting here in the gallery of the Sem
ate, and seeking to give an exact five
minutes photograph in ink, / counted
seven little boys on the steps of the pulpit
trying with all their might and main to
tie themselves into double bowknots.
The Senator Immediately under me is also
trying to perform the same fearful feat
with his legs. A blonde man with big
head and big fists is making a speech.
He is making it for constituents a thou
sand miles away. Two little boys start
swiftly over the noiseless floor. A gray
and cOmely old man sleeps peacefully on
the left of the pulpit. The big fists swing
in the air. Four more Senators are
melting away through the fence of the
corral. The President of the Senate has
ceased smelling of the flowers on the desk
and is dreamily rubbing his nose up and
down with his left fOrefnger. Another
Senator goes out. A massive and
broad-breasted member, with red hair and
lifted face, enters and looks all about the
corral in the most impressive manner.
The handsome and impressive member
finally sees the two huge fists swinging in
the air: he turns with a toss of the head
like a Texan steer and is gone. Two
more Senator's melt away. Sure enough
the man with the big fists swinging in the
air is talking for those constituents a
thousand miles away. For no one near
him is willing to hear. Two more Sena-
tors knocked outl There are not many
Senators left, but of those remaining there
IS an astonishing number of them fooling
with their noses. 1t Is queer, but / be-
lieve you can come in here any day and
see at least a dozen Senators fOoling in
some way with their noses. That surely
was not a Roman custom. And even if
it were-but fOrbear. The five minutes
are up.

Mr.. L0ring is extremely anxious to have
the agricultural bureau over which he
presides raised to the dignity of depart
ment. lie wants to be a Cabinet officer,
and is vain enough to believe that he
would be the head of the new department
if it were created. Mr.. Loring, however,
feels that his official grade has been raised
by the action Of the Senate on Tuesday.
That body gave him ''the privilege enjoyed
bv Cabinet officers Of admission to the
floor Of the Senate Chamber while the
Senate is in session, An amendment to
the rules placing the Commissioner In the
list of persons thus honored was
reported favorably by the Committee
ON Rules, naming that officer next to the
Judges OF the Court of Claims, and
only the architect Of the capitol between
him and the foot Of the list. Mr.. Plumb,
who is the special champion of the Agrl-
cultural Department, declared, with en-
tertaining warmth, that it was a reflec-
tion upon the Commissioner to put him so
low on the list, and moved that he be
placed Immediately following the heads
Of departments and preceding United
States and foreign Ministers. Mr.. Frye
remarked that as the question Of rank had
nothing to do with the arrangement of the
list. he would be willing to put the Agri-
cultural Commissioner at the head if that
oficerfel that his dignity required it. Mr..
ingalls, asserted that if there was any
Mace in the world over which there was
a sign Indicating that it was for the ex-
elusive use Of a certain class Of persons,
that was the very place where average
Americans wanted to go aud they gener-
ally got there. The Commissioner of
Agriculture now has the right to visit the

Memorial Day.

To-day is the anniversary OF the LOST
Cause. All over the south, the people
meet TO honor the memory Of the Confed-
crate dead. and 10 decorate their graves
with flowers. The heroes on whose lOwly
mounds are laid natures fair offerings,
were worthy Of the tribute. With brave
and true hearts they marched forth TO
battle for what they conceived 10 be the
right. Patiently they bore the hardships
Of the camp and the fatigues Of the march,
and with undaunted courage they stood
their ground OF advanced grandly 70 the
charge amidst the thunders Of a hundred
battle fields.

dictiYe as 10 deny US this sacred privi-
lege. This day the world stands alOof,
and the South is left alone with her dead.
over a hundred thousand Of our best
and bravest men gave up their lives for
their cause. Their bones are scattered
from Gettysburg 10 the Rio Grande.
While we are celebrating their gallant
deeds and strewing the last resting places
Of some Of them with flowers, we should
remember that thousands Of them sleep in
neglected graves. It is time now for the
Southern people to renew the work Of
identifying and protecting the COnfeder-
ate cemeteries.
Nearly every city and town in the South
has its memorial society. Let these socie-
ties 90 10 work earnestly and systemati-

Gen. Wade Hampton, or some other well
known and practical business man at its
head. The Southern people are amply able
now TO properly care for their soldiers
graves, and all that is necessary is TO
present the matter to them in the proper
form. Let our ladies renew the work
they so nobly began just after the war
and push it forward to success. Withis
i've years every Confederate cemetery in
the South can be restored and made as
beautiful and attractive as the national
cemeteries are now. Let not the stranger
