THANKSGIVING Day.

OF al the national holidays none
is now more universally or more
ioyously celebrated than that Of
Thanksgiving Day, which has been
appointed for this year on Thursday
of this week. Though of New
England origin, and for many years
confined almost exclusively to that
section, it has slowly but surely OK.
tended itself all over our great coun-
try. We are indebted for it to the
Pilgrim Fathers, who may be said to
have celebrated 1t for the first time
al on the completion of the first
harvest at Plymouth in 1921, when
Governor Bradford sent out four
fowlers in search of game, that they
"might after a more special manner
rejoice together" But fasts were
much more common among those
hardy Puritans than feasts, and
though they occasionally observed a
general Thanksgiving Day for some
specially propitious occurrence, such
as some action favorable to them on
the part of the mother country, or
the arrival of a ship-load of pro-
visions, they devoted much more
time to deploriug their miseries than
they did TO rejoicing over their
blessings. 1t Is said that their
adoption of the custom of annually
appointing a Thanksgiving Day was
due to a sensible old farmer-whose
name tradition has unfortunately
failed TO preserye-who rose up
when it was proposed in the assem-
bly, to proclaim another fast, and
plainly told them that he believed
God was weary Of their complaints
in view Of the fact that lie was
causing the earth TO reward their
labors, that He had filled the seas
and rivers with FISH, had made the
air sweet and the climate healthtul
and was permitting them the full
enjoyment Of civil and religious
liberty. The speaker therefore pro-
posed that instead of "a fast a day OF
thanksgiving and feasting should
thereafter be annually proclaimed,
which sensible suggestion was unan-
imously adopted Whether or not
this is a true account Of the origin
of the practice, It is a thoroughly
established fact that by the year
/ 1850 it had become a fixed custom
for the Governor Of the colonies Of
Plymouth aud Massachusetts, Bay to
appoint a Thanksgiving Day late in
/ the Autumn of every year, a usage
that soon extended to all the other
/ New England colonies.
/ The adoption Of this custom out
side of Now England was very
slow. How slow will be readily
understood from the fact that az
recently as 1853 il was considered a
remarkable event ia Virginia when
Governor johnson recommended
the observance Of a Thanksgiving
Day, and that Governor Wise re
fused TO appoint one m 1851, on the
ground that be had no authority e
interfere in religious matters
Thanksgiving Day was not regu
larly appointed by the Governor d
New York state till 1877.

The cattle business of this coun-
try, says the Western Rural of a re-
cent date, will be profitable to some
body in the course of the next
twenty-four months. The number Of
cattle in the country has been great
ly reduced, as it should have been.
We went wild on cattle and over
stocked the country, until the cattle
market was as fiat as q founder
But there is no reason at all TO
doubt that the cattle supply was re-
duced to correspond with the de-
mand some time ago Vet the re-
duction has gone on, the result
partly no doubt to drouth in some
sections, which necessitated the dis
posal of stock because Of shortage
in feed, partly through a pressing
need Of money to meet matured OBJ
legations, and partly Of lack of
confidence in cattle. The fact would
seem to be, therefore, that the num-
ber of ca tie will be so reduced that
beef cattle must pay a good profit
considerably within the time men
toned. We feel safe in stating,
however, that the demand for good
cattle is a constantly growing one,
and that the breeder and feedoI
who expects to make money must
cut loose from that class Of cattle
that eat good deal for a compare
lively small number of pounds OF
very inferior beef.
Ar the special meeting Of t.,
common council held Tuesday even

valuation; same as last year. Th'

CHICAGO, November This city com
plete and the rest Of Cook county, except
two small townships which it is not
thought will materially change the re-
suit, give Cleveland S1,120, Harrison
sc, 1868, plurality for Cleveland OF S57.
The county complete in 1884 gave Blaine
SO. 25l, Cleveland 60,609. plurality for
Blaine OF S,S42. AS there has been
10 doubt that the State outside of Cook
county went heavily for Harrison, though
possibly by a somewhat less plurality
than for Blaine in 1884, there would now
appear to be absolutely no question, not
withstanding the great gain for Cleve-
land in Cook county, that the State is
safe for Harrison.
The vote of "a counties in Illinois, in
Guiding Cook, shows maiorities for Har-
rison of 3s,943, Cleveland 1888. The
remaining IS counties in 1884 gave
Blaine 1854, and Cleveland 6,542. As
Stunning that these IS counties, not yet
fully reported, gave the same result as
1884. the State will now give plurality
for Harrison of 1892. 1t is safe to say
therefore that Harrison's plurality will
be about $4,000.

DENVER, November 7.-Excitement In
the city last night and to-day over the
election returns was intense. Each bull
letin was greeted with yells by the Re-
publicans, who are confident of the sue
cess of the National ticket. The Demo-
Gratis, while acknowledging that their
chances are very doubtful, have not en-
tirely given up all hopes of carrying New
York. Returns in the Colorado election,
both the State and Arrapahoe county
(Denver), are unusually slow in coming
in. Up to this hour, 80 P. Nj, only
partial returns have been received.
These indicate the election of the Re
publican ticket by majority ranging
from 5000 to $1,000. The next General
Assembly will probably be as follows
Senate, 6 Democrats, 10 Republicans !;
House, 10 Democrats, 80 Republicans
Partial returns from twenty-three coun-
ties give Cleveland 5,044, Harrison : ,664
Congressman, Townsend, Rep, 1902 !;
Macon, Dem, 4,749. Governor, Cooper,
Rep, 6,946; Patterson, DEM, 5, l16.
Complete returns from % precincts IN

A RACE RIOT.
/ Bloody Fight Between Whites
and Negroes ut Norfolk, Va.

WASHINGTON, November "A special
to the Post from Norfolk, Va, says: A
riot occurred in Portsmouth about s
O'Clock tonight between whites and
blacks. Four hundred Negroes marched
down High street, the principal thor
oughfare in the city, singing, "HanG
Grover Cleveland on a sour apple tree. +"
At the corner of Dinwiddy street large
party of white men we're congregated
and white boy and a Negro had a
scuff1e. The Negroes came to the res
cue of their comrade and were charged
by the whites. Hardly had the fight
commenced before shots were fired, then
the widest confusion prevailed, and
after about forty shots had been fired +,
the Negroes retreated. The whites
then discovered three of their men were
wounded. Samuel Dust was shot in the
legs, James Mahoney in the abdomen,
and John Reiger in the eye. The two
latter are probably fatally wounded.
Immediately after the riot and after the
Negroes had retreated the whites began
arming themselves. Everybody is now
armed. Mayor Baird has called out the
Old Dominion Guards, and 100 special
policemen have been sworn in. The ex-
cltement is intense and the negroes are
reported as forming just outside the
city. Another outbreak is feared. A
detachment of the guards will be sent to
iisperse the mob of Negroes.
