WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER. 28. 1888.
tn bNkSGiVlNG DAY,

Bye. Ar.
A great and greatful country
Has set this day apart.
To occupy in giving thanks
To God, with ali the heart.
The loving Giver of all good,
HAS given us more than our share
Ofgoodly gifts.
Today in Thankful mood,
All should engage in prayer;
And through the heavenly
riffs,
Allow our thanks in joyful lays,
To ascend to heaven and sound Gods
praise,
For he has blessed us in so many
ways.
This has been a peaceful year.
No war with murderOus hand
Has lately swept across our land;
From such wild days, so dark and
drear,
We've been kindly spared this year.
From many dangers we've been kept
secure;
The watchful eye OF Goa dld gulde
our way.
And he has always helped us to en-
dure
Life's trials by his lenient sway.
Thanksgiving day
Oh, that each would,
AS well he should,
The call obey;
And join the ranks
Of grateful folks,
And give to God the thanks,
Which he invokes
Let hearty thanks today to heaven
arise.
Pour out your soul in thankfulness
to God;
Let grateful hearts commune with
Him beyond the skies,
Who such great mercies pom us
has bestowed.

LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN.

All kinds Of wild and exaggerated
rumors have been set afioat regarding
the existence of smallpox here, and
still there are people who think that
the newspapers should have suppress
ed all mention Of it. Such course
would have have resulted in more
harm than good. One report placed
the number of cases as high as seven
ty.five, and there is no doubt that by
the time il gets 100 miles from here
every man, woman and child will be
down with the dread disease.
1t is best that the truth be known.
1t will not occasion hall 80 much fear
and alarm among the public as the
false rumors and reports that are cir.
culated. The REVIEW will publish
daily faithful account OF the condi-
ton Of the patients now at the pest
house, and report all new cases, if any
more should be discovered, However,
as we have said before, there is no
cause for alarm. The health officer
has taken all the necessary precau-
tions to prevent the spread of the dis
ease, and unless it should break out
in some unexpected quarter, we can
safely assume that it is under control.
There have been no new cases, the
patients at tho pesthouse are doing
we'll, and, from present indications,
will all recover.

impossible to exaggerate the Influence
of such work ss this. Every hapless
child In the city made comfortable
and trained to prefer clean and in
dustrious life is a powerful lever to
lift the community to a higher level
of civilization.
It IL the nature of successful work
in overy department OF human sctiv-
ity constantly TO outgrow It's resources,
and the charitable people Of this city
should not forget that the good work
of the Ladies' Benevolent Society can
DO made fully effective only by liberal
contributions. But money il not the
only thing needed. There is a wide
field for the voluntary labors OF young
men and young women, and few gifts
could be more valuable than gifts OF

Sth has been $780, ,050 bushels this
year of wheat alone, against 71,654.-
6S1 bushels last year.. and yet the
quantity of the visible supply is &c.
569,951 bushels, while Chicago holds
the price Of wheat higher than the
price at Liverpool.
According to all reports large area
has been sown TO winter wheat, which
has Jared we'll thus far in nearly all
localities. The situation up to date
gives promise. so far rs the situa tion
in December can promise anything,

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

There is no occasion for alarm in
the city because several cases of small
pox are in our midst. The city's
health is excellent, and there is no
danger that the disease will spread if
the proper precautions are taken. The
health officer should keep the infected
houses under strict quarantine, pre-
vent all persons from entering or leav-
ing them, and sec to it that the prem
ises and adjoining property are thor
oughly disinfected. In matters OF this
kind the health officer should have
unlimited power and authority. He
knows what is needed and what ought
TO be done, and should not be required
TO wait for action TO be taken until Inc
is authorized by council when the
health of the community is at stake
Our health and prosperity are more
valuable than money, and money
should be expended liberally TO pro-
vide all the necessary safeguards.
There ought to be more nurses and
doctors, and a sufficient number Of
men should be hired 30 that guards.
could be kept on duty day and night
to enforce the quarantine orders.
Prompt and vigorous measures must
be taken to stamp out the disease.
Portland, Tacoma and Seattle had
smallpox epidemics, and succeeded by
timely action in not only preventing a
spread Of the dread disease, but in
driving it out almost altogether. Let
us do the same
We have every confidence in DR..
Mclean, and believe if he is permitted
to have full sway in the matter that he
will rid the city Of the danger that
threatens it in a very short time. He
is the responsible person. Let him
take the responsibility, but give him
all the assistance he needs
We urge that train quarantine be
established. A competent physician
ought to be engaged to examine all
passengers who get off the trains here,
and II he discovers anyone with the
smallpox the sufferer could be taken
directly from the depot to the pest
house. An inspector may not be
able 10 detect every case, Mess it is
developed, but he will be able TO do a
great deal 70 check the disease. II We

The wheat market is in a peculiar
condition just now. Pacific products
are marketing rapidly, while Atlantic
stocks are kept back. Five months OF
the current crop year have passed and
the people of the Atlantic states have
how fixed things so that some OF them
are tolerably sure to lose large
amount of money before next July.
With about 5O,OOOO0U bushels of
wheat in visible supply or commercial
hands east of the Rocky mountains,
and 10000 900 bushels more waiting TO
come forward for export from all sec
tions, of which 100000 bushels per
month are going steadily from Pacific
ports, holders see that Lisbon is buy
ing lttle, but Liverpool and the rest
OF the continent nothing from Atlantic
ports.
The entire exports OF wheat and
-four from all ports in four months
ending with October were 39,O32, 1853
bushels, including flour as wheat,
against 5,54l, ,4Ss bushels in the same
months last year. From the principal
ports in November 5,344 ,OS6 bushels
went out, including -four, against g.
666.S59 bushels last year. Thus the
total exports thus far reported, a.
376.3S9 bushels in five months against
GA ,207 BAT bushels last year, leave for
export, in excess OF the home supply
for the entire year at the usual rates,
more than 7s,O0O,O0O bushels. Last
year the entire quantity exported
after December LIST, was but 55,OOO,-
600 bushels.
The Pacific ports have increased
their exports thus far by so per cent |;
in the five months San Francisco and
Portland exported 1884, ,496 bushels,
flour included, against 9961 ,24O last
year. Thus there is left for export
from all other porte, 30 far AS they
have been reported for the five months,

bushels last year, decrease of nearly

What pathetic appeal is that OF
William w. Holden, who Was provis-
ional governor Of North Carolina in
1866 and in 1868 elect by popular
vote. But his election could only have
been accom- plished under the circum.
stances that then existed. The war
had Just closed and only those were
permitted to vote who could take the
test oath. The Ku Klux were carry.
ing things with high hand in those
days, and Governor Holden issued a
proclamation declaring q portion of
the state under martial law. His op-
ponents declared that he had issued
the order for political effect. The
governor refused to deliver up to the
civil authorities prisoners arrested as
Ku Klux until he was advised by the
United States authorities to dc so.
The result was that charges were
preferred against him when the legis-
lature met, and he was impeached of
high crimes and misdemeanors and
convicted-"disqu ualiied to hold any
Office of trust, honor or profit under
the state of North Carolina
After his impeachment Mr.. Holden
removed to Washington, where he
edited the National Republican, but
returned to Raleigh as postmaster
with commission signed by President
Grant. There he has since resided.
He is now 70 years old, and in his pe-
tition to the legislature he asks that
the stigma put upon him eighteen
years ago be removed.

two decrease, and one appears on

Of value of taxable property, personal
or real. is due to the listing of railroad
property. The apparent decrease in
the assessed valuation of Stevens
