Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The

about 80 cents per share for the more

Collections do not improve at the

The uncertainty OF the iron business
increases. More furnaces are going int

CURSES INSTEAD. .OF THANKS.
How the Chicago AnarehIsts observed
Thanksgiving DnY.


CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.-A meeting of $50
people at Thalia Hall, yesterday after
noon, was as close an imitation as pos
sible OF the Anarchist gathering on the
Thanksgiving Day preceding the Hay
market outbreak.
The speakers were guarded in their
utteranccs, but the spirit Of the assem-
blage was shown by the distribution
among those present OF number of
copies OF hand bill Of Herr Most's,
which caused the disruption of the In.
ternational in 1888, driving out those
who did not believe in dynamite.
The principle speaker was Albert Cur
Rim. He said "the present system O
society was not worth giving thanks for,
but was worth cusing to the lowest
depths OF hell. Whom should thew
thank? God? If there was a God,
what monster he must be to permit so
much misery. Let the fools be thankful
for their wretChedness. The working
men should stand together until their
ideals OF Socialism and Anarchism were
| fully realized"

LoUP Cry, NEB., Nov. 3l.--Loup City
is preparing unique present for Presi-
dent-elect Harrison-the railway COM
pany furnishing a car on which it is to
be constructed-a typical sod house.
Two paintings will accompany the
house, one representing Nebraska in
lSGO-some pioneers with an old coach
and OK team attacked by Indians; the
other depicting scenes of lsSs-growing
grain, q farm house, a train of cars and
other evidences OF prosperity. The le-
gends that will accompany the cur are
us follows: "Loup City sends the offer
ings Of respect and esteem to the Presi-
dent.elect. In 1860 the Republicans de-
clared thatthe Union mustb be preserved; F.;
in 1888 that the commercial interests of
the country must be protected. In 1860
Nebraska had $4,000 people and no rail-
roads; in 1SSS, 200, 900 people and 5000
miles OF railroad" The intent OF the
whole is to convey some idea OF the pro-
gress made in this prairie State.

FAIRMoNT, W. Va, Nov. 30.-It was
not until they realized that they were
beaten that the Democratic leaders and
newspapers started the cry about Re-
publican frauds. When the desperate
and defeated managers held the caucus
in Wheeling ut which it was decided
that Judge Fleming, John o. Pendleton,
Judge Jackson and John Anderson must
be counted in at any cost, they likewise
decided that, inasmuch as questionable
means would have to be resorted to,
public attention must be diverted from
them by the party organs by a hue and
cry about Republican frauds" These
were the tactics suggested by the ma
tional managers. They were pursued
before the election to cover up their dis
graceful campaign OF corruption, and
when defeated, in the effort to buy the
Presidency, they continued the same
"stop thief cry while the attempt was
being made to steal enough districts to
give them a majority in the House of
Representatives.
The brilliant intelIcCts that evolved
the plan of campaign made serious
mistake. They did not know the quail
ty of the men with whom they had to
deal. They were evidently not aware
that the Republicans Of West Virginia
have profited by their experience with
Democratic manipulators in past years,
and that at so late n day they were not to
be deceived by any such chaf-in other
words, the Republicans were not
"chumps." When the Democratic man
agers before the election howled so much
about alleged Republican methods; sus.
picion wasimmedately attracted toward
themselves as the gentlemen who
would bear watching, and the fact that
they were watched so closely is perhaps
due more TO this fact than to any other

THE ALLEGED G. A. K. Split.

Investigation Shows 1t Amounts to Nothing,
Except Among Few Sorehends.
New YoRE, Nov. 30.-The San this
morning prints interviews with leading
Democrats in the G. A. R.. in various
parts of the country. In review Of
these interviews it says: The movement
for a withdrawal OF the Democratic
members OF the G. A. R. on the ground
that the organization is used to further
the political ends OF the Republican
party, seems to meet with little sympa-
thy outside of Indiana, where it began.
The revolt has been organized in In
dianapolis, but in no other State, and
steps in that direction which have been
reported and interviews by Sun cores
pondents with many prominent Demo-
Gratis in the G.. A. R., show that they
willnot Join the revolt and that they
have no idea that it will be important.
They distinctly contradict the assertion
OF General Palmer that the G. A. r. is
an adjunct OF the Republican party and
deny that, as an organization, it had any
party bias. They also say there is not
room for another successful organization
of veterans. In fact the interviews seem
to indicate that rs a rule, the results OF
the election have not shaken the fealty
OF the Democratic veterans TO the Grad
Army, which, however its members may
vote, was organized and maintained,
they believe, for nonpoltical purposes,
