the suggestions Of our chief magistrates
and get in thankful mood about that
time. The philosophy of giving thanks
under all circumstances is regularly
alluded too in all our religious denomina-
tisns, as matter of couse, but Thanks
giving is a stated period when we are to
put on our best thanksgiving garments.
There are great many people who think
they have nothing to give thanks for,
who are gradually growing larger year by
year, crystalizing themselves with what
is generally known as Anarchists, who
are becoming restless under the free in
stituiions of our country. Their ideas are
just The opposite of our good old home
like Thanksgiving, and in the years TO
come bodies evil. How to reach these
people should be the thought of all
Thanksgiving people, for we live in a
peculiar age, and should the torch of
anarchy once be lighted there is no tell
ing how far it would run its course before
being checked. Yet it is pretty hard to
convince IL man who has a family, and
has had no work for months or Il year,
that there is any one thing he can be
thankful for.
The subject now uppermost in the
public mind is, whether the Postoffice in
the city is TO be investigated by the Civil
Service Commissioners. For months the
tales about the doings of this department
has been filling the daily press, so that
the people have began to think there
must be something in the charges, al
though the Postmaster has vainly tiled
to prove otherwise. But the matter has
taken such definite shape that either the
above mentioned official will either be
found direlict in his duty or he will be
cXonerated. | don't think the Republi-
cans care at all about the discharges of
old employees on account Of their polit-
zeal character, but it is because they want
to find whether this administration is
not acting the hypocrite. Mr.. IIarriety
is Il young lawyer, of pressing manners,
, and many instances is imposed on by
friends. These errors are excusable, but
when it comes to evading the civil ser
vice and then trying to shut the public
, eye up, that is another matter. Take it
all in ALL it would have been better to
, have started out and discharged every
mothers son of the party that was WHIP
ped, and let civil service 60 to the dogs.
The ministers are now working up
: their congregations for all they are worth
suppose that the first thought pastor
thinks, is how much good he can do, and
/ next how to make his parish a successful
i one. This city may well be proud of her
e many churches, for they are in nearly
:, every square, and new ones are spring
ing up every few months. But it is
strange how many of these clergymer
1t adopt a certain way of advertising them
/. selves in regards the titles to their ser.
