NOW FOR THE NEXT.

Now that we have eaten our Thanks
giving turkey and have opened our
hearts in gratitude for the meTcies of a
year that is past, let us begin to get
ready for the next Thanksgiving. We
do not mean that it is necessary to pat
the young gobbler in the fattenihg pen.
But we do mean that ii is necessary to
stir up something to be thankful for
next Thanksgiving day. On the prin-
ciple that the gods help those who help
themselves, it behoves us to be doing
our part and to commence early in order
that we may have grand jubilee at the
close of the next year. First of all we
want a revival of business prosper
ity to be thankful for on next
Thanksgiving day. This can only be
secured by our individual efforts, and
all of us must work together. Ii we are
content to sit down and fold our hands
in idleness, with the expectation that
Providence will pour his bounties right
into our lap. it goes to show thai we
have wrong conception of Providence
and of His benefactions. God loves an
industrious worker, but there is no cyl
dence that He ever manifested any de-
cided Partially for lazy person.
Those who are up and doing all the
time are the ones who have the most to
be grateful for on Thanksgiving occa-
sionS.
During the coming year we want a
real estate boom here in ST. Paul. We
want another building boom, to exceed
even that of this year. We want a rush
in our jobbing trade and a flow OF traffic
and travel all along the lines Of Our
railroads. We want more manufactures.
more banking capital, more commercial
life. more churches, more school houses,
and a great influx of population. These
things cannot be acquired by standing
OH the street corners waiting for them
to come around. They will come i'll the
future, just as they have come in the
past, by the individual and united
effort of our people.
Let us go to work then and commence
right away. Let every man take Off his
coat, put his shoulder to the wheel of
progress, and by giving strong push,
long push and push all together we
will inaugurate such ali era of prosper
ity that when next Thanksgiving rolls
around, ours will be the happiest and
most grateful city Oh the face Of the
continent

1t is more important that the majority Of
the house shall consist of members duly
elected to it than that it shall be composed
of Republicans or Democrats. 1t will in any

abundant opportunities for claims Col.
Quay, of the Republican campaign commit
tee, seems determined to organize the house
on the basis of his own inner consciousness,
though cursory perusal OF the rules OF the
house will show that they confer no power
whatever upon the Republican campaign
committee. They do confer a large measure
of power that might be dangerous in the
hands of an INSCRIPTIONS man and in very
excited times. These are not such times,
and we have seen no evidence that the clerk
of the last house is such a man. His power
is large simply because il is final not be-

Born in 1906, the able commenced his

! to the prime minister. the Prince de Po-

| was appointed to take charge of tho
| fashionable parish of st. Roch. I'M

was on the eve OF preferment to bisii-

La Petite Roquette prison, from whence
he was transferred in $40 TO La Grande
Roquette.
During the commune in 1871 he was
arrested by the orders of Raoul Rigaut
and imprisoned along with the Arch
bishop Mgr. DarbOy and several other
prominent eccclesiastics. 1t was only
by the courage and devotion of an in-

they reached the kitchen, where
they found a man disguised
in the white dress of q cook, oc-
cupied in preparing the prisoners meal.
"WhO are You?" exclaimed the captain,
raising his revolver. 81 am the Able
CrozeS, canon and chaplain of La

The able lived in miserable little
lodging quite near the jail. One of the
most remarkable pieces of furniture
was an old kind of sculptured bureau,
crammed full of all kinds of souvenirs
and parting gifts presented to him by
the criminals whom he had accompanied
to tho Scaffold.
AS the canteen of the prison was
always closed at the carly bour at which
the executions took place, the good
father always made point of providing
himself with little flask of melecaSSiS,
kind of black-currant cordial, mixed
with brandy, of which he insisted that
the doomed prisoner should partake.
This is the only one of the thousand
little kindnesses and attentions which
he displayed to the Outcasts of the
world. Many were the messages with
which he was intrusted by the coll
demned for the mothers, wives and
children which they left behind them to
mourn their death.

and to put in a good word for the Grim

THE CAUSE OF CAUSES.

AS the clouds roll by, the causes of
Democratic defeat in the last election
are more clearly revealed. In an inter-
view with the Baltimore Sun few
days ago Ex-senator DAVIS, of West
Virginia, explains the political rey0lu-
ton in that state on the ground that he
and other prominent Democrats, who
are interested in mining and railroad
operations, held aloof and refused to
aid the Democrats in the canvass be-
cause of the prominence of the tariff
question. Senator DAVIS says that he,
in company with Senator GeHNAN
and some other leading Democrats.
with high tariff. notions, went
to President CLEVELAND before
the assembling of the last congress, and
urged him to omit all reference to the
tariff in his messages to congress until
after he entered upon his second term.
Mir. CLEVELAND disregardcd the re-
quest, and it would seem that DAVIS
and his friends seemed to think it their
duty to punish Mr.. CLEVELAND for his
disrespectful treatment of their propO-
sition by aiding in accomplishing his
defeat. This only affirms what The
GLOBE said Immediately after the cleo
ton, that the defeat of the Democratic
party was mainly due to the influence
of the corporations. If Mr.. CLEVELAND
had proved a servicable tool in their
hands he would have been reelected.
But when they discovered that they
couldn't use him, nothing was left UNI
done that could be accomplished by
money and organization to beat him.
That is the current explanation of the
whole business, and there is no use III
attempting to give any other.

NO SIGNS OF SETTLEMENT.
Indications Are That the Switchmen's
Strike Will Spread.
STRIKERS DITCH TRAINS.
To-Day Will Witness Some Decided
Change for Better or
Worse.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Nov. 29.-The
switchmen's strike shows no immediate
prospect of settlement. If the engineers
and firemen propose to strike with
view of forcing settlement OF the
switchmen's grievances, they seem to
have concluded to at least wait until
after Thanksgiving day. They were
all at their posts to-day. The superin-
tendents of the several roads held an-
other meeting to-day and concluded to
stand by their action of yesterday,
when they replied TO the joint commit
tee of engineers, firemen and brallemen,
stating that if they had any complaints
of their own to arbltrate or adjust, the
superintendent would gladly meet
them to talk over any grievances, but
declined to meet the committee III re-
gard to the SWitchmen'S grievances.
The officials are firm in declaring that
they cannot discharge their new switch
men under any circumstances, in order
to take back the old men; that such a
course would be wholly dishonorable,
and that they will submit to a disas-
trOuS strike
RATHER THAN WEAKEN
in this particular. While this is the
outward aspect Of affairs, there is re-
port current that the superintendentS
will tomorrow informally meet some
members OF the joint committee, acting
for the strikers, and talk matters over.
The striking 'Switchmen have repeat
eddy announced that they would refrain
from all acts of violence or interference,
yet they are charged with repeatedly
drawing the pins from moving freight
trains, and in at least one instance COM
PEELED the abandonment of train by
pulling the pins out and throwing them
in the ditch. Last night, while a train
was running through the yard OF the
Ohio, Indiana q Western road, one of
the strikers threw switch right
under it, ditching eight cars, breaking
them more or less, and tearing up the
track. AT their meeting to-day. the
superintendent concluded to offer a re-
ward of LOCO for the apprehension and
conviction of the parties who caused the
wreck. On several occasions the strik-
erS have
STONED THE MEN
who have taken thei1 places. 1t is
thought that tomorrow will witness
some decided change for better or worse
in the strike situation. Some of the
superintendent believe that the engi-
neers and fremen will not strike, and
anticipate no further trouble, while
others again are exceedingly appre-
hensive that they are on the edge of the
biggest kind of strike and an ugly one.
The strikers were in close conference
this afternoon, but will divulge nothing
of their meeting. They assume to be
confident OF Carrying their point.
