BOYD County. Ky. June 81.

t"Boyd" In Kentucky Democrat.
The people of the Big Sandy Val.
ley are perplexed TO know the rea-
son why alfei theimportant streams
and some ofthe unimportaut ones
in the United States can obtain
from Congress appropriations to
make navigable and facilitate navi-
CATION upon them except the Big
Sandy River, an interstate stream,
which has Invaluable and exhaust.
less minerals and forest wealth in
and upon its adjacent nils, which
cannot be made available except by
the improvement gifts navigability
Congress has Giyen. munifcently
for the kentucky and'Kanawha riv-
ers, which are neither richer In their
resources or capable of better i'm
proved navigation than the Sandy.
We have had the promise Of every
candidate for Congress in this dis
trict for twenty years pastto obtain
sufficient appropriations to slack
water in Sandy, but it has been the
"word ofpromise to loar and brok-
en- to the hopes.n We have hard at
times some paltry appropriations,
but nothing substantial and effect
i've. We think that this neglect has
resulted from the fact that the
members Of Congress have lived
away from the Big Sandy river and
they have felt no particular interest
in the improvement Of this river.
What is most needed to accomplish
this important work for this end of
the State is a Representative from
this Congressional district who will
regard this matter ofimportance in
his service and will bend his ener-
gies to that work. This can be Sc
cured by the nomination and cleo
ton of Geo. w, Castle, who lives in
the valley and feels deep interest
in the matter. His known energy
and industry is a sufficient guaran-
tee that he would redeem the dis
trict, hot only in this matter hut all
Others in which we are interested.
If nominated he will carry this end
Of the district with a good majority
and if the other end Goes its duty
Democratic success is assured:

The True "Protection" Party.
Frankfort Capital

l. " NBie<hi.J
The Democratic party is The true
party of"protection." Not; howev-
er, that protection which creates
mcnopolies and trusts and duties
that enable a single manufacturer,
in one year, to put aside million
and a half dollars profit gained
from forced taxation of consumers
The protection the Democratic party
proposes is incidental to well-reg-
uiated system of import duties
which, while providing sufficient
revenue for government, economic
ally administered, will distribute
the burdens of taxation equally,
keeping in view the principle that
the end Of correct government is
the greatest good to the largest
number An industry requiring
protection" beyond apd outside OF
this principle is not congenial to
the spirit ofrepublican institutions,
and should seek residence elsewhere
than under a government declaring
"equal rights to all, exclusive privi-
leges to none.n

THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING
The Origin of Thanksgiving Day,
which has now come to be recognized
as national festival, is generally sup
posed to be found in the feasts of the
Plymouth settlers in 1921, when Coy
ernor Bradford, after the harvest sent
men cunning for water fowl and wild
turkeys, with which to rejoice in a
special manner. 1t is not recorded
that the Pilgrims had any particular
religious worship at their feasts, or
that they intended tc make it annual.
In fact, the New Englanders did not
make it annual for many years after
ward. The strong hold it took upon
the people may possibly be accounted
for by the fact that Christmas was in
disrepute, and Thanksgiving Day
took its place. The desire to give ex.
preston to joy at stated time in the
year is seen in the feast of Taberna-
Giles of the Hebrews, the Cerealia of
the Romans, the Demetria of Greece,
the English-Saxon Harvest Home,
Martins Gaus of Protestant Germany,
Martins Gaus of England, and the au-
tumnal feast of the Indians. The
Revolution found the festival deeply
rooted in New England. soil. The
Continental Congress had several
occasions for giving thanks, and in
1884, a general thanksgiving was of
fered for peace. The influence of
this and the example of the English
prayer-book led the first General Con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, in which where no New Eng
landers, to insert, in the liturgy a SER
vice for Thanksgiving Day on the first
Tuesday in November. In 1889 Wash
ington appointed November &c as a
day of general thanksgiving, and in
the same year the Protestant Episco-
pal General Conference, this time
having representatives from New
England, ratified the prayer-book, in
which was provision for the annual
observance or thanksgiving for har-
vests, etc., on the first Thursday OF
November, unless some other day
should be designated by the civil au-
thorities. The custom fproclaiming
the day was for many years confined
TO the North, or to New England. and
the West. but in 1868 eight Southern
States observed it, ndsince Lincoln's
! proclamation in 1862, the festival has
become national.-Ffom the Sports

THE FORUM FOR DECEMBER.-In
the Forum for December Archdeacon
Farrer explains in detail Tolstoi's re-
ligious teachings, how the soldier and
great novelist now finds content
ment, hope, health, and blessedness,
in the life of peasant, and the toll
of shoemaker; and the archdeacon
points out with many illustrations the
error of making so rigid an interpre-
tation of the letter of the teachings of
Jesus. DR.. Austin Flint's announce
ment of "A Possible Revolution in
Medicine" explains the probability
of preventing all infectious diseases.
The greatest advance perhaps that has
ever been made in medicine is likely
to be the results of recent investiga-
lions in bacteriology. Prof. William
Crookes, President of the Chemical
Society of London, summarizes the
helps that chemistry has given to
modern civilization in practical ways,
as well as in the changes it has
wrought in modern thought. Mr..
Park Benjamin, the mechanical ex-
pert, describes the new method of
naval warfare meant to be carried into
effect by the new United States torpe-
do cruiser Vesuvius," now in pro-
cess of construction. In spite of the
doubts of the over conservative, to
whom he pays his compliments, he
explains his reasons for predicting
complete revolution in naval warfare,
by the possibility of throwing tons Of
dynamite on the deck of hostile
boat. Mr.. George w. Cable in =" A
Simple Southern Question: shows
how the Negro problem is gradually
being solved, by indicating the
changes of opinion about the Negro
that have already taken place. He
declares that the tap-root ofthe whole
problem in the South is the fear of
Negro Domination, which he pro-
nounces absurd.
Another article on Southern sub
ject is Judge A. w. Tourgee's explain
alton why the South is, in his judg-
ment, the richest field for fiction that
English-writing novelists have found
since Scott wrote; and he points out
the romantic features of the lost con-
federacy and of the freedman's situa-
ton. Prof. Thomas Davidson de-
scribes the decay of the apprentice
system, and shows how the mechani.
cal arts are becoming monopolized by
foreigners, because Americans do not
consider worker at trade gentle
man. He proposes the teaching OF
trades in the public schools as means
of elevating them as medicine and
dentistry and scholarship itself have
been elevated within a very recent
period. Heconcludes that no man Il
a gentleman who cannot earn his owr
living by his own labor.
Mr.. Edu ard Atkinson, in an essay
on "The Price of Life" sums up The
conclusions be has reached in his pre-
ceding articles, showing that on thu
average the American people, WHIT
are the best-to-do in the world, liv'
on about A. cents day. Prof. Fran
els A. March, Of Lafayette College
makes a plea for the scientific spelling
of the English language. Mr.. Juniul
Henri Browne presents the common
sense view of marriage, as a relief Il
the sentimental way in which it ha
been viewed in nearly all modern lit
erature, and by young lovers h

Judge Allison, Of Philadelphia,

Judge Allison, of Philadelphia,
took occasion the other day to make
some forcible remarks concerning
the rights of citizens and policemen.
Judge Allison said !: eff an officer
makes an arrest without a warrant
be becomes a wrongdoer himself if
he does not see the offense commit
ted, and he is responsible for any
violence he may inflict on the priso-
ner. A citizen arrested when he has
not violated any law is not bound
to submit, and may use force to re-
sist, but no more. If an officer I'M
deltakes to make an illegal arrest
it is the same as if a private citizen
should Go it, for an officer is protect
ed by the law only when executing
the law"

THE YOUNG LADY, AND THE RED
NOSES.
BY J. FERREL.

BY J. FERREL.
The cheerful belle can very we'll
Enjoy a life of pleasure,
Without vain wealth,
Ii she have health,
The best of earthly treasure.
Her smiling face with pleasing grace
Is shaded like the roses :
Not with faint,
Or kind of paint,
That reddens drunkards' noses.
To chalk the face is no disgrace,
Nor can it be a duty
For it does harm,
And gives no charm
That adds to female beauty.
1t will be done by every one,
Since fashion SO disposes
1t makes no fears
And brings no tears.
Like that which reddens noses.
The youthful belle may very well
Reject the drinking rover,
For she can see
That he would be
Always falthless lover.
A drunkard s wife has hard life
When she her pleasure loses,
Then / would say,
Without delay,
Look out for painted noses.
A quiet life with little strife.
A lady needs while living,
And good name
Of lasting fame
That never ends in grieving.
She loves a youth who speaks the truth
One that cold water chooses,
And not man
Who takes dram
That reddens drunkards' noses.
A drinking man will when he can
Gulp like thirsty gypsy,
And then abuse,
Or roughly use,
His wife when he gets tipsy.
His garments torn, in tatters worn,
A solemn truth discloses,
That every cent
For whiskey spent,
Does more than redden noses.
He ought to think that every drink
Will make his purse some lighter,
And every cent
In that way spent
Will make his mind no brighter.
He goes in debt without regret,
And every dime he loses,
Is so much cost
And that much lost
In painting drunkards' noses.
And he should know that here below,
To the internal regions,
Are sent down all,
Both great and small,
Who are the wicked legions.
To live life of evil strife,
Such as the bad chooses,
Will end his race
In that bad place
Among the painted noses.
