ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING DAY.-Dr
Benjamin Franklin has left the record
that in time of great dependency
among the first settlers of New Eng,
land, it was proposed in one of their
public assemblies to proclaim fast.
An old farmer arose, spoke of their
provoking heaven with their COM
plants, reviewed their mercies, show
ed that they had much to be thank
full for, and moved that, instead OF
appointing II day of fasting, they
should appoint day of thanksgiving.
This was accordingly done, and the
custom has continued ever since.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Frcm Our Regular Correspondent

(Frcm Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, u. c., Nov. 16, $50.
The question of vital interest now
to the Republican Senators is whether
the Nebraska Legislature will return
Senator Van Wyck or some more re-
liable brother. During the last SEES
sion whenever "crazy horse" Van
Wyck, rs he was sometimes called,
arose 10 ask tho consideration OF a
resolution which was inimical to any
fat corporation, or went against any
old abuse, there was good deal OF
laughing and winking on the sofas
IN the rear OF the chamber
In like manner Senator Riddle
berger always seemed to succeed in
making himself ridiculous. When he
insisted ON hearing in opposition to
executive sessions of the Senate. he
was invariably out Of order; yet when
ever he made the same point of order
on another Senator, it so happened
that the point which was good as
against him was not good as against
others.
Now, it appears that "the stone
which the builders rejected has be-
come the head of the corner" These
two Senators, who were objects of
ridicule and irritation to the Repub-
lican brotherhood, hold the balance
of power between the two parties in
the Senate. They were never in har-
mony with their pnrty and could
never be relied upon when vote was
called. So, as they are not Republi-
cans in good and regular standing,
the Senate is not Republican, and
there is fun ahead. The Senate stands
thus: 81 Democrats, 81 Republicans,
and the balance of power party, com
posed of Senator's Van Wyck and
Riddleberger. 1t is quite certain
these gentlemen will be very gracious
" treated this winter by Republican
Senators, although the Philadelphia
Press said it might be better to have
the Senate Democratic than to have
it Republican by the aid Of such men.
The suggestion that Mr.. Carlisle is
disqualified for the Speakership in
the Fiftieth Congress because his OPP
ponent will contest his election, is
considered practically absurd by such
able and experienced parliamentary
ans as, for instance, Congressman
Wellborn, of Texas.
The police scandal has been the
talk of town during the week. 1t is
alleged that the Chief of Police, in
his cabinet councils which he holds
at nine o'clock every day, at his office,
instructed his lieutenants to ''spot
Congressman who were inclined to
dark ways in order that they might
be able to influence these Congress-
men to vote for lnrge appropriations
for the Metropolitan Police force.
Lieutenant Arnold, who is charged
with having betrayed the secret, has
been summoned before a court mar
tial, and much interest is being man
Tested in the trial. 1t is the most
important agitation in the police af-
fairs of the district that has occurred
since the investigation made into the
iniquities of the detective corps three
years ago, and there is little doubt
that justice will ultimately be done,
no matter who is hurt.
The White House is very quiet just
now, as the President refuses to sec
all callers, and is absorbedin the pre-
paration of his message to Congress.
So far as the official figures have
been piyen. Gen. Ross has exceeded

San Marcos gavea prohibition vote
of 1913, at which the FREE PREss-a
staunch temperance paper-is happy.
But we think the Cranfll movement
weakened the cause.--Columbus Citi-
zen.
How so? But for the political
prohibition movement no one would
have supposed there were 800 voters
of that faith in Hays county. But
there are probably as many moro
of the same faith who did not see it
to be their duty thus to vote. Upon
the whole the FREE Press regards the
outlook as quite promising.
