Colonel Henry Watterson has many
reasons for being thankful. Among them
are:
"rhat DR.. Burchard did not die twelve
months ago. That Mr.. Blaine did attend the
dinner at Delmonico's. That Mr. Cleveland
kept his mouth measurably shut during the
canvass. That the most disgraceful political
campaign, call hands 'round," In American

IT is very gratifying fact that Thanks

yesterday throughout tho country than
ever before.
The blessed day of prayer and praise, of
grateful thanks, of poetic thought, of fam

the people better and happier for its bless.
ings and onjoyments.
This day, of all Others, is purely, wholly
good in its influences and effects, FREQ from
sectarian prejudices, and beautiful In all
that it suggests and signifies.
Thanksgiving day combines the holy and
the holiday without conflict or incon-
sistency. The preacher on that day is free
from the restraint of tho Sabbath and ap-
peals far more strongly to the human heart
than in tho formal Sunday sermon. The
active man, not insensible to his blessing.
at any time, is truly grateful amid the
festive pleasures of tho day. The thoughts

The National Ranking system.

The report of Mr.. Cannon, Comptroller of
the Currency, is very interesting paper,
and is attracting considerable attention.
OF the number of National banks organized
during the last fiscal year an unusually
largo number are located in the South and
West, sections where fuller banking facili-
ties are much needed. In the former section
thirty new banks were started and in the
latter one hundred and two. Only ten new
banks were organized in New England and
twenty-five in the Middle States, showing
that those sections are better provided with
National banks than other portions of the
country.
Since the establishment of the system
3,261 banks have been organized, of which
100 have been placed in tho hands of re-
celvers. Mr.. Cannon recommends that the
| S73s, 100000 Of four per cent bonds be re-
! funded into an equal amount of or 81 per
cent. bonds to mature in equal Install
ments at the end Of successive periods of
five years each. The four per cents mature
in 1907. The recommendation in regard to
them is worthy of consideration. a
If the circulation Of the silver certificates
is to continue Mr.. Cannon very properly
| thinks that it should not be upon the pres
ent basis of the standard silver dollar but
upon coin or bullion, containing sufficient
number of grains to have an intrinsic value
equal to its nominal value. In other words
| Mr.. Cannon does not think the Clipped
dollar ought to be the basis ofa circulation
| upon the assumption that it is really worth
| 100 cents.
| Such course causes the boarding of gold
and will ultimately result in a suspension
Of gold payments. 1t is recommended that
national banks be allowed circulation In
amount equal to the full value of the
tonds which they deposit to secure that cir
culation instead of ninety per cent. of thai
amount as the law now is. There wert
more failures Of national banks during th
year than for number of preceding years
Mr.. Cannon, with reason, does not regart
this as surprising in view of the fact tina
failures among traders and others during
the same period represented an indebted
ness Of S200,00O,O00.

Logan and his wife hearty welcome on
their return to this city. The demonstra-

Why Some Prominent People are
Thankful.

The Philadelphia Press printed Thanks
giving sentiments from prominent people
General Sherman says that there are many
causes why we should be thankful, "but
the causes which are nearea to the heart
are so precious that they shun the light Of
day." George William Curtis thinks that
we should be thankful for the spirit of fair
play among cur people. He says;
"Tha. the chief secret OF success IN any
branch Of American activity is tho fair play
which the spirit OF the people, as well as our
institutions, assures to every kind and degree
OF talent"
Judge Kelley thinks weshould be thank
ful for our system of protection. James

WHAT is the matter with our Demo- cratic brethren of Pima county? On Saturday last there was a call for a meeting to organize Democratic club. Only few faithful and unterriied re- sponded. There is call for a meeting tonight, which, however, the Demo cratic organ failed this morning to an nounce. Is it possible that the Tax payers outfit has captured the entire party? It begins to look as if the Democratic party was dwindling down to a corporRrs guard, having been sb- sorbed by themselves in the disguise of honest men, seeking to do something they do not know how to do. Either the Democratic party or the Taxpayers party must go down. They neither have the ability nor cash to run the two or ganizatlons- The few Republicans who were deceived are deserting the sham thing as rats desert sinking ship. The Republicans are united, and the organ ization of the club last week showed the interest that was taking in politics. Friday night there is to be another meeting, and those who have not signed the roll should not fail to attend and sign. In union there is strength.

THE school election on Saturday re- suited quite satisfactory. There was unusual interest taken. This interest was caused by tha sham Taxpayers movement. A half dozen long headed. ol ward politicians got together and planned a demaeog.cai movement to entrap, not only honest Democrats but Republicans. They succeeded faITly well at the outset. They filled the ar full Of corruption and vile doIngs among officers and especially the he- publican party. There were number of our best citizens inveisled into ihe movement. They were honest. They believed that taxes were too high; thai property was being assessed at too mgL a rate; that the officials had not done their duty; they also believed that there was something wrong with the old school board, all that ard much more. These things had been beat into ihrIr ! ears from day to day by interested | parties, until some of them believed ! that Pima county and the city of Tue son were going to the devil at a break neck speed. We do not say that the! had no cause for much of theIr feelings in these matter: but what We have found fault with is that the same people who are members ot tue two political parties, did not attempt, first to correct the evils they complain of. within their own parties. The Democratic party leaders recognized this great de- sire for reform and retrenchment,
 so called, and in an inopportune movement sprung the Taxpayers movement. Some people believed ltwas e popular uprising of the people, and that the principle which they were sd' vocatinz was genuine, and many he- publicans were induced tO !oin It. They soon saw the trick, or at least many oi them. All the tricks known to poll ticians were resOrted tO to carry out their aims and accomplish their ends. When they became desperate and mustered their org lnizeI forces and without op- position elected theIr leader as chaIr' man of called meeting of the citizens to nominate three school trustees. they reached the climax of thelr devIltry, and sustained defeat then and there. Nc robuke cOald be more severe than the one received on that occasion. They were allowed to 70 ahead and elect the officers ot the meeting and then the "peop.e" quietly stepped in and made such nominations as suited themselves The meeting refused to endorse the action Of the taxpayers mass meeting and nominated men of their own choice The CITIZEN said editoTiaiiy the day after the nominations were made. that Messr-.

THE late Independent or sorehead conference, called to meet in New York by George William Curtis was anything but a success. It, in fact, was failure Instead of an assembly of 10000 people as was anticipated and fairly expected, there were less than five hundred. Ii was failure in action and deeds as well as ID numbers. After Curtis had read hIs address to the country" Mir. Geo. F. Williams, of Boston, offered a resolu- tion condemning convention dictation. After discusslon 1t was withdrawn. A resolution offered by Mir. R. R. Bowker, of New York, for the appointment of e committee of seven to consider and report upon party methods and party reform, was laid on the table. MT. Everett, of Massachusetts, then offered resolution declaring Cleveland and Hendricks the nominees of ga con- ference of Independent Republicans for President and Yice-President of the United States" This resolution was also laid on the table.

WE have received copy of the call of the Territorial Republican Central Committee, which have determined to call the Territorial convention at Tomb stone on M MJndsy, September l5, 1881 The time Is good, and will be generally approved. The selection of the place We do not think will prove so satisfac- tory. We congratulate our neighbor on her success. Some are so uncharitc Jle as to intimate that 1t IS a straw poi ltilg in the direction of who will be th -cn- inee for Delegate. The members . the committee know why they selected our neighbor. So far Bs Pima county Is concerned 1t IS satisfactory. but those coming from the north must now take two stage rides instead of one; Tn fact, the stage business don't seem to cut any figure with the committeeman. We hope the Republicans in the Territory will select their best men-men who are interested in the welfare of the Terri tory-men who will select a candidate not out of personal motives, but for his ability to accomplish something good for the Territory. IT a man IS selected who possesses thls quality there will he a concentration of interest that will elect him. Without such interest Se cannot hope to wIn, unless the Democracy should make their usual blunier and select such a man as the present in cumbent. There has never been time when the right man in the right placc" could be of so much benefit as at this time. If the man elected is in harmony with the administration ana IS not a fraud. but tae man be should be, Ari- zona will receive such benefits as Will rebound to her future prosperity, beyond the most sanguine expectations of Arl- zoua's best friends. Men who are seek ing the nomination for what they can make out of it. and for the small dis tinction, should be buried so deep that the political coyotes even can not ex- hume them.

WE learn from the Epitsph that min- ing and business affairs of Tombstone are much better than since the strike and the bank failure. In fact the Epitaph seems to be of the opinion that there is no longer fear of trouble from the striking miners and that within n short time business there will be good. Thls is good news. We hope our neigh bor's troubles and misfortunes are over and that prosperity will be its portion m the future. She has had tough time but has passed through the trying or deal very creditsbly. There are news papers in the Territory which have seemed glad to prod Tombstone and laugh at her misfortunes. No doubt, such papers will get their reward here after.
