THANKFULNESS.

Thanksgiving is upon US. Every man
must be his own judge of what he has to
be thankful for But let no one resolve
that he has no cause for thankfulness.
There is not a human being in all this
broad land to-day who has not some rea-
son to lift up his countenance and thank
ing. However wretched may be ones
condition, he can yet thank God that it is
not worse. If We suffer, it is because We
have done wrong; if business is dull it is
because the business world has been at
fault. The world is ours, and we are free
moral agents, and whatever our woes they
are ours only. But there is plentiful
cause for thankfulness by the communities
Of the American nation. We have been
spared the pestilence that has swept
through other lands our resting place has
not been shaken in its foundations by
great commissions of nature; our country
has been spared war and social revolt
there is no widespread suffering; our peo-
pie are reasonably prosperous; we are at
peace with all the world; we have nc
cause of quarrel with the nations of the
earth; the opening season Is full of prom
Use; the bounteous rains have made our
State smile as maiden on her wedding
morn; the public health is good we have
suffered no great business distress, and nc
commercial catastrophe; the freedom OF
the citizen is still secured to him
the right of self-goyernment is still
the rock of our citizenship. The
nation and the State have grown
in wealth, population and strength
The knitting together closer still of this
people goes on from day to day, and the
Importance Of the nation proportionately
augments in the eyes of the peoples of all
the world. The cause of education ha.
received remarkable impetus in the past
year; great wealth has bestowed great
gifts upon the people for the generations tc
come as well as for that of the present
And so Thanksgiving Day finds us with
every reason to be glad and rejoice While
we give thanks and felicitate ourselves that
we are as We are, let us not forget the poor
in our midst; the stranger, the homeless
the prisoner and the afflicted, but of our
bounty remember generously those who
have less than We, and some cause tc
mourn or be sad The better times are
always coming but are never here and SC
it must always be, for in constant, far.
reaching hope our ambition lies; the
stimulus of action, the food of energy
We may hasten the coming of the DAYS
that are to be better, and that promise us
still other better and more blessed DAYS, by
making of these present ones all we can
To wish for and hope for the better days is
one of the best ways to hasten them. En-
enlargement all may give to the weak
and respondent brother; it is a cost.
less yet priceless charity, and the more
freely it is bestowed the richer the reward
it brings.

DEATH OF THE vICE-PREsIDENT

The news of the death of Vice President
Hendricks comes upon the country with
such suddeness as to greatly shock it. Mr..
Hendricks was one of the notable men of
the Union. He had been in public life since
early manhood. He was at all times a
positive man; one exercising decided
influence upon his fellow man. As
a partisan, he was bold and cour-
ageous. However much we NAV
have differed with Mr. Hendricks,
we always knew where to place him. He
was always loyal to his political affilia-
tons. He was from boyhood drawn to-
ward the public forum and in the COM
bats of intellect in his circle was an
active agency. He served constituencies
with ability, and that he was often
acting with the minority never lessened
his devotion to the principles for which
he declared. His administration of
the high Office of Governor of the
State of Indiana was character
lied by fearlesSness and adhesion
to sincere convictions of duty. He was a
man of culture, high legal attachments,
and at the bar occupied a place of honor
and commanded the respect of the pro
feSsion throughout the country. He
was man of dignity and force
of character, and by his political
party was esteemed one of the most promi-
nent leaders in it He served the people
in Legislature, in Constitutional Conven.
tion, as Commissioner of the General
Land Office, as a Congressman, as United
States Senator, as Governor of one of the
proudest States Of the Union, and finally
as Vice-President of the Republic.
His death leaves the Republican Presi-
dent pro tenn. of the Senate to act as
Vice-President of the United States, but it
is not likely to bring on any political COM
plications The Senate is strongly Repub-
lican, and the change In its chief presiding
officer will not necessarily have any nota-
bic effect upon the administration. Only
In case of the death of the President him
self would tire sad event af yesterday be-
come an importsut factor of possible polit-
ical concern.

Last Friday, while 4 man was employed
in excavating in the rear of the lot ON Vir-
ginia street recently purchased from Mr..
Derwin by. Mrs. Bergwall, he drove his
pick through rag in the ground When
he brought it forth it was ornamented with
a full set of ladies' jewelry An investiga-
ton followed, and it was found that the
rag was a cambria handkerchief. little
soiled from being covered up, vet bearing
evidence that IL could not have been where
it was found for any great length of time.
In it the jewelry was wrapped, and elegant
jewelry, too. Among the articles were the
following A necklace and locket, hand
some chain, pin, stud, earrings, bracelets,
etc., all gold and set with medium grade
OF diamonds. The jewelry has been put in

theory as to how it came there.
There are thirty physician and thirty
six attorneys in Butte Montana.

CAUSE OF DEATH.

DR.. Thompson says that in his opinion
Mr.. Hendricks died of paralysis of the
brain, and there will probably be a post
mortem examination to establish what the
disease was. For several years he had not
been a robust man, and was subject to
frequent bad spells" as he called them.
during which sometimes he would be pros
trated for days at a time About two
years ago he was confined to
his room for several weeks
by gangrenous affection of the foot,
which at times it was feared would result
in blood poisoning, and it was then thought
that the end of his life was near at hand /;
but he apparently entirely recovered from
this, and was in lis usual health. While
in Washington, during the last session of
Congress, he was overworked and
