TatvESGJTJNG AND STATE RIGHTS.


President Cleveland has issued his Thanks
giving proclamation. From any other PreSl-
dent. such proclamation would excite no sur
prise, and would call for no other mention than
the remark that the proclamation is in fitting
terms, and appropriately refers TO the especial
blessings for which We of this land.have occa-
sion to be thankful this year-thc blessings oil
peace of immunity from pestilcnce, and OF
bountiful crops. II the picture of National pros
pcrity seems Il shade Ovcrhrawn, 1t may ut least
be said that the state of industry and trade Is
better than il was when the year began and
that there is more visible cause for thankful
ness than there was ycar ago.
But this proclamation comes from Demo-
cratic President There are some faithful
Democrats who remember how Indignantly III
bvgone times the notion WAS rcpudiatcd that
THANKSGIVING should be- a National Observance.
That pure patriots held. was a matter for the
States 1t was contrary to sound theories ol
State rights for the Federal Government, which
was created for no such purpose to dictate to
the varou, commonwealth NJ the Union
whether they should have thanksgiving nj all,
and if so on what day. Democratic Presidents,
nure patriots may remember with certain
nride. refused to issue n National proclamation.
When President Lincoln did send forth such
proclamation, it was pronounced miserable at
tempt to coerce the States into following Gus
tom of the Yankees.
But here is a Democratic President who is
trampling Oh the old theories of state rights
and issuing Thanksgiving proclamation Has
lac forgotten the constitutional limitations oil
powcrP Does he care nothing for the sensitive
nerves Of oll-fashioncd Democrats who wor-
shin the resolutions of '9S Can it be that this
President, elected lay Democratic votes, and
principally 10y a Solid south is going to thrust
upon US a Yankee custom i'll these days oil
" Democracy and reform =
The world has moved some. Even the Demo
cratic parry moves, and for that let Us be pro-
lonnilly thankful. There was n time when II
seemed that not even a ParrOtt gun OF the con-
vulsion of civil war could put new idea into a
! Democratic head, or take an old prejudice ont
! But now Democratic President shows that
there is one Republican institution at least upon
| which the party does not mean to make war, the
| institution of hanksgyng. For this mercy
| also, on the 2Gth we may be profoundly thank
full. Even the Democratic party moves, n little.

pluuder. He is Indifferent to tn cir complaints
but as he finds it very awkward even now to
have 900 skilled workmen IN Chester and IN
the Eleventh Ward of this city standing idle
and starving because he has thrown them out
of employment, he may hesitate to furnish
work for the free-trade ship-yards on the
Clyde Then it is barely possible that the
American people would not take much pride IN
cruisers that were built in English ship yards
even if a little money could be- saved in that
way. To be sure, the Chinese Government has
it's gun boats built there but then Americans
have always considered themselves more enter
nrisiug than Cinnamon.

A number of newspapers in the South are advising
the South to boycott Ohio because of the alleged
hostility of the citizens of that State toward the
South. Cincinnati, il seems is the chief offender
In this respect. Even the Democratic papers Oh
that city it is asserted have been rabid IN theH
hatred of Southern institutions, and so tne at nas
gone forth that this. proud producer OF pork ana
music shall be humbled to the dust But somenoWor
other Cincinnati and Ohio don't seem to care rush
about the utterances of these guerilla papers, Dehg
we'll aware that they do not represent the South
in this respect. Southern merchants will continue
to buy goods from Ohio just as long as 1t is 70 then
advantage to do So and no longer. This Is the
universal law of trade. and it is certain that lew
fossil papers in the South cannot set it aside. we
are justified in asserting that Ohio will weather the
storm.
The accounts of the treatment OF smallpox pa
tients at the ST. Roch Hospital, Montreal, are not

oHJO NOT AN OCTOBER STATE.

An October State has vanl shed. ONO mas
adopted the constitutional amendment, chang
ing the time of holding the State election, by
vote Of 537 900 in its favor out OF 743,4o3
votes cast, and hereafter it will not be neces-
sary for political parties in laying their plans
for Presidential election. to consider hrSt OF
all whether a candidate can carry Ohio in Octo-
Der. and so save the party from the discredlt OIL
a preliminary defeat in large, central and
peculiarly representative State.
1t Is not at all clear whether the change VIII
result to the advantage of either political party
The Republicans generally have had an advan-
tage in Ohio, but the steady change in the popu-
lation of the State, and tho Democratic frauds
of late years, have rendered it necessary to put
forth greater exertions, prior to every Presl-
DENTAL election, to retain Ohio. The Democrats
could attack the State with safety for if they
lost it. they could claim that the Dutch had
taken Holland again. But if they succeeded,
the disleartenment to the Republicans would
be great, and meanwhile the expenditure OF
effort upOn that one State down to a late period
in the campaign al ways embarrassed the lte-
publicans elsewhere to some extent. The
change is fair and just, and it will have one ad-
vantage at least-the decentralization OF voters
in Ohio by the use of large Democratic corrup-
ton funds in preliminary State elections VIII De
checked Ohio will have to take care OF herself
il future. and if the State is not Hooded with
money by Democratic National managers the
Republicans are abundantly able TO hold their

4 HINT From ENGLAND.


SiI Nathaniel Burbody, formerly Director of
Naval Construction in England is now in the
United States He has been visiting navy yards
and ship building establishments and has
formed some positive opinions respecting the
requirements of the navy. lie is quoted in
Washington dispatch as saying that 4" the
United States labor under a disadvantage in
{" not having n sufficient number of ship-bnd
"ing establishments, and that the best way To
secure experience ia construction is to have
some ships built in Europe under American
"inspectDfs" lie adds that in his judgment
there are not enough ship-yards in America and
that the naval officers are not sufficiently well
trained.
As the Administration is in great need Of
practical suggestions respecting its naval
policy it will naturally attach importance to the
recommendations of this distinguished Eu-
ropean expert. 1t has five new vessels to con-
struct and is anxious to have the work done
economically. As the navy yards are poorly
equipped in machinery AMI plant, it will be inn
practicable to have steer cruisers or irOn ships
built by Government constructors and indeed,
the recent report of the MOhcan Board has
proved that this is n most eXtIavagant and
wastcful method of procedure. Tho few re-
naming ship yards are also excluded from con-
sideratiOn, since the Administration has been
convinced from the outset that American ship
builders are public plundercrs, who cannot be
trusted TO do an honest job, even with naval ex-
perts and inspectors standing by to watch them.
What better thing can be done than to have the
five new cruisers built at English ship-yards
under the eyes, not of Congressional Advisory
Board, but of a special Examining Board APP
pointed by the Secretary himselfl 1t will be
cheaper, since the free-trade scale of wages pre-
walls in England. Besides, it viii enable naval
officers to acquire practical training in ship
building. That they have much to learn the
Secretary is evidently convinced, for he has
publicly discredited the Advisory Board. which
contained the best talent the American navy
coulo supply.
OF course if the Secretary follows Sir Ma
thanie Burbodys advice, and awards the con-
tracts to English builders, he Will have a
score TO settle with the American shipbuildcrs
and the wOrkmen employed by them. Probably
the complaints of the owners of American ship
yards will not have much weight with him. lie
does not agree with Sir Nathaniel Burbody
that moro ship-yard are needed hero. On the
contrary, he thinks there are too many already
and in breaking down John Roach he credits
himself with signal success i'll reducing the
number. These American ship-builders, in his
judgment, have had too many Government con
tracts and ought to be forced to disgorge their

THlT BAD BLAINE POSTMASTER.

THAT BAD BLAINE POS fMhoiE

Me-. to his successor, the Hon. Joseph II. Manley
il now enjoying tho cordial praise and thanks
which even political opponents in this country are
generally ready to bestow upon fellow-cltizen
who has retired from the public service in honor.
Aside from tho unusual excellence of the service
under Mr.. Manlcy the people of Augusta owe to
him the Introduction of the free delivery system,
the great improvement IN office accommodations by
which their business his been facilitated, and the
spacious and substantial public building for which
Congress has voted appropriations.
In bidding the employees Of the office good-by
Mr. Manley gave some details of the great business
which thoy had co-operated in performing. lie
showed that under his administration there had
been only one error IN every 1880 pieces of mail
matter handled and that with postal and moucy
order business of 81, 800 900 every cent had been
accounted for There are some persons VINO may
also be- interested to hear that Mr.. Naniey called
his employees to witness that no assessment for
political purposes had been made in Tho oihcc;
that no solicitation, pressure. indrcemont or hope
of reward had ever been used to ntu nee any one
of them TO cont ributc and that. those who had
mover contributed n dollar knew, their standing
and prospects of promotion had never been affected
by that fact
