show the rapid displacement of colored
labor on the plantations by white hands
thus dissipating the popular notion that
only the negro could be employed in that
important department of southern Ngri-
culture. OF the cotton crop Of 1858, it
now turns ont thut not less that "A per cent

A correspondent suggests that if the
governor of Pennsylvania should appoint
October 18th for Thanksgiving Day, and
President Cleveland should afterward
designate day in November, there would
be two Thanksgiving. Perhaps reviving
business prospects justify two days Of
thanksgiving this year, but Governor
Pattison has suggested in advance of our
correspondent that if change is to be
made it had better he made by the Presi-
dent. Presidential proclamations of
Thanksgiving are an innovation which
there is no Democratic precedent for, but
if President Cleveland concludes TO fol-
low the fashion of his immediate prede-
cessors in office we should be glad to see
October 18th, the anniversary of the dis
covery of America, named as public
