Such a remarkable event is treasured in

the good health has been attained is

We suggest as change of subject
matter for our Democratic writers to
show their ability of invective on new
themes to drop the Dudley raoket-it is
getting stale anyway. Talk up the
action Of the Senate of Indiana, venti-
late the action of the Speaker of the
joint session of the Legislature of West
Virginia. Give us the facts-if you
know, and find out if you don't know
in reference to the murder Of Clayton in

reasons to be proud OF her sons. But
what we desire to emphasize is the fact

If we expect to reap an abundant har-
vest this fall. BY way Of a beginning
we propose generous cooperation with
the Democrats in the Legislature who
desire to inform the people Of Ohio in
regard to the State Treasury and the dis
bursement of tho funds Of the State.
Let this request Of the patriotic Demo-
Gratis be promptly complied with, and
the investigation need not be confined
to the present year. Let 1t extend back
say five years, to the time OF the Hoadly
administration, nor should the balancing
accounts be left to Democratic mathe.
maticians. They have been wretchedly
muddled in their calculations since their
Herculean effort to compute the surplus
in the National Treasury, which task
they never accomplished. Let US aid
them in the work in Ohio, and let the
work begin now.

Present system of taxation, $50, 900
persons already have control and
own the wealth of the United States
containing seventy millions of popu-
lation. In thirty years if the pre-
sent method of taxation is continued
reasoning from the accumulation of
wealth in the hands of few during
the past, the wealth of the country
will be substantially owned by less
than $4,000 persons.
Other statistical facts are equally
significant in giving more than COM
mon Importance to the rapid accum-
ulation of wealth by a few men.
Mr.. Sherman does not attempt to
prescribe any remedy for the grow
ing money power. He gives the
figures from authentic records, and
asks of those who read them, "what
will you do about it," That is a
question not easily answered, and it
may be added, no statesman is prob
ably capable of devising remedy
by legislation To most minds it
that nothing short of revo-
luton can change the accumulation
of wealth in the hands of few men.
But revolution involving the disrup-
ton of the government, is not to be
thought of, the tide of wealth will
continue to run in the future, as in
the past, until limited number are
richer than the tabled Cresus.

Thanksgiving Past and Present

A change has come over the Gus
toms of the past; the manner of OBJ
serving Thanksgiving by many peo-
pie has greatly changed during the
last twenty-five years. at least such
has been the fact in this part of the
country 1t was once a favorite day
for what were called shooting
Matches" rahles for turkeys, geese
and other fowls. Among the at
fractions there were sometimes dog
and rooster fights. Whether there
were any amusements Of the kind
here mentioned this Thanksgiving
is not learned. 1t is safe to say
more rational observance of the day
has superseded the inappropriate
practices once common. All of our
public holidays have their proper ap-
propriateness; Thanksgiving day
calls for an acknowledgment for the
MANY mercies received from an over
ruling Providence Such are the
reasons given in all the proclama-
tons of the Governors of States.
How profanely absurd, therefore, to
give expression to such acknowledge
ment by turkey raffies and other like
practices.
