POLITICS AND PREACHERS.
That divinity Student"at Delaware,
Ohio. Heard From.

lhat "Dliihlty at DelnW are,
Ohio. Heard From.
W. have received a mournful let
ter from that young Divinity Stu
dent over in Ohio, who led Brother
Dawson and White astray with that
10000 majority that Foraker was
to have. lie acknowledged to get
ting a black eye in the last election
and also that we are a ''daisy' and
says he wonders that Dawson don't
break our back. He further saws
"Our University has n thousand
students in training and expects to
send them broadcast through the
land to enlighten benighted Democ-
racy." We rise to remark that they
have evidently already been at work
right at home, judging from the
returns of the late election in Ohio,
and some of them have probably
been turned loose in Iowa also. Let
the good work go on. Turn the
next batch Of 'em loose in Pennsyl-
vania; send some to Illinois, Neb-
raska, Michigan, Wisconsin. We
always claimed hat this country
was naturally democratic, but the
people have gotten ''benighted" on
this tariff business and we want a
little more enlightenment. We
have always maintained further that
we need more home missionary
work instead of so much Worrying
after the Heathens, Hottentots and
Pagans ofAfrIca, who no doubt great
ly prefer to pursue the even tenor
OF their way; go naked and eat roast
dog, tina to dress after the fashions
and eat baked beans and pie, so we
rejoice exceedingly to know that a
thousand missionaries will soon be
turned loose in this country, now
groaning under the misrule of a set
Of demagogues and political trick
sters. We shall expect the millen-
mum to be inaugurated March f.,
1898, when the whole country will
be democratic from Maine to South
America and Florida to British
Columbia and the white winged
messenger of peace will spread its
plnlons over the most prosperous
country the world has ever saw.
Bro. Cuppett asks us to "'quit the
ranks Of democracy and come over
to enlightened repubhcanism and
go with them to heaven" This is
about the last plan we would try.
We shall take every other road first
and if this fails we will take to the
woods and take our chances i'm pref
erence. We think though that we
are on the right road now, for if
there is anything that will take a
man to heaven besides religion, it is
being a good democrat. If we had
to accept Parsons plan we would
first take out n fire insurance policy
and then try to make peace with
the devil as soon as possible, and if
Brother Cuppett cannot yet see the
error of his way and is determined
TO still harden his head and stifTen
his neck to the signs of the times,
we would advise him to profit by
the advice of Prof. Bcal given Par
son at the teachers institute here
this summer.

We desire to call special attention
to II poom in Il is issue written for
the ARGUS by the talented Mrs.
Washington. She. is a Georgia lady
and has written extensively far the
press. In fact she is an authoress
of national reputation and some of
her writings evince literary talent
and culture of a high order.

An ancient philosopher on being
asked how to succeed replied: "Do
as successful men do" This may
be true in the sense intended, but
1t is practically impossible to a great
extent, as no two persons are sur-
rounded by exactly the same circum-
stances. There is one thing, how
ever, in which we can and should
initiate successful business men if
We too would succeed, and shat isl n
advertising for successful business
men almost invariably are large
advertisers.

Uncle Lewis Saloon.

Our good brethren of the Era
and Journal are considerably work
ed up over Uncle Lewis SALOON !
They have been preaching all along
that the republican party is the par
ty Of temperance and morality,
until they find themselves in the
position of the fellow who told the
''yarn" so often that he believed it
himself. So it is with Bros. Daw-
son and White. They have told
their readers so often that the Re
publican party was the goody-goody
party, that they were Mortified when
Uncle Levi opened up his saloon at
the National Capital. Our good
brethren had not one word of con-
demnation to offer, but waited pa
tiently for some one to deny that
Uncle Levi had a saloon, when
their cup of JOY would overflow.
Well, the time came. and Uncle
Lewis private secretary denied it.,
and the ,JOUrRdl said the ARGUS
repeats the falsehood about Vice
President M%orton's bar room IL
cense," and the Era says it knew it
was a Gle" but it did not know
how to nail it. Let us sec about
the 'falsohood' and Gle" Facts
are facts, and we will go to the rec
ords Of the districts for them.
What do the records show? That
Vice President Levi p. Morton has
taken out a license for his new hotel
in his W name. He has paid a
license on seventy rooms when his
hotel has $50 rooms, and the hotel
men in Washington are after him
with a sharp stick. The hotel is
owned b. Levi p. Morton, the IL
cense for the hotel is in the name
of Levi =. Morton, but he hired a
Mr.. Kenna to take out a license for
a bar room III his new hotel. Such
are the facts. Levi p. Morton had
not the courage Of his honest con
victiOns to take out the license for
a saloon, but he hires another man
to take out the license and Vice
"
President Levi p. Morton certifes
that it is all right and he has no
objections, for If he had objected
Mr.. Kennac could not get the license.
Levi p. Morton, Vice President OF
the United States, is the man who
Will reap the benefits Of that saloon,
and it is utter folly for the Jouyual
and Era to try and apologize for
him. IF it is a crime for Uncle
Levi to run a saloon, is he not
equally as criminal for hiring a man
to commit the crime ? We submit
1t to an unpreiudiccd public if the
Era should not call upon Mr.. Nor
ton to resign the position he dis
graccd and return to private life.

Origin Of Thanksgiving.

To-day is the anniversary Of a
little birthday party that took place
at our house about fifty years ago,
more or less. 1t was the most i'm
portant event that had occurred in
our family since the marriage Of our
parents. 1t vas a day Of hustle
and confusion, although there was
only Il few present. In fact the
audience was very select. The good
old family physician was there, had
received IN urgent invitation by
special carrier to be present and
assist in the exercises of the occa-
sion. There were also present two
or three kind old ladies of the
neighborhood. Our father was there
somewhere, but whether he was up
on the roof Of the house or down i'm
the cellar, we really can't remember.
1t is further related that he had his
vest on hind part before, his coat
on wrong side out and one suspen-
der hanging down. lis hair was
uncombed and his face unwashed,
because he had not had time to
make ibis toilet for the party and as
it was not a dress affair anyhow,
except in IL case, it made but lit
tie difference. We we're there in
undress and IA the principal guest
of the evening, in fact was the Gym
osure of all eyes. We were unable
to take a very active part in the en-
joyment Of the occasion as we had
not yet become accustomed to the
ways of the world. In fact it has
been so long ago and we being quite
small then, we have forgotten all
about it, if we V c remembered the
affair. We begun life very young.
and are not very old yet, but we can
look back now and rejoice that our
parents had this quiet little party,
and gave us a start in the world by
introducing Us to the eclat of the
neighborhood.
This being the first event OF this
kind that had taken place in our
family, it was of curse one of great
Importance, particularly to us) and
the day was one Of rejoicing
and thanksgiving on the part OF
our parents. We took it very
calmly on III part and hadn't en-
ergy enough to get out of bed even.
Didn't eat any Of the turkey (but
have made up for it since) and in
fact took a very light diet. We can
not commend to highly the wisdom
and forethought Of our parents in
having this party particularly on
our account, las it gave us an oppor-
tunity to grow up with the country
and be a democratic citizen of the
greatest country on the face of the
glob and run a paper for delinquent
Subscribers merely for honor and
glory. There may be other the.
cries of the origin of Thanksgiving
but this is the best IL we know.

NEW YORK LETTER.
Regular orrespondenec Of the Ansr-.

~ AHN AsehNs
New York, Nov. %. 1889.
One hundred and six years ago
to-day, November 25,1783, the last
of the British troops formally and
finally evacuated New York City,
and George Washington made his
triumphal entry. Our city has
grown somewhat since then, and
what was little more than a seaport
town of Il few thousand inhabitants
has become N of the important
cities of the globe. 1t is singular
that the anniversary Of such an i'm
p%ortant event is allowed to pass By
without receiving more attention
for by this evacuation of the Brit
ish, our country was left in undispu-
ted possession of the people. The
centennial of the event was marked
by "a magnificent celebration which
will long be remembered, but the
usual celebration is confined to the
hosting of the flag on the Battery,
at daylight. This is done by David
Van Arsdale, n grandson of the boy,
Van Arsdale, who climed the pole
at the sumo spot and there nailed
the stars and stripes, l06years ago.
NEW FERRY.
An effort is being made to estab-
lish a new ferry line across the
North River. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, which already
has two ferries, has made a PROPOSE
ton to the Comptroller as a member
of the Sinking Fund Commission,
to take control of, and operate the
line if established and at the next
meeting of the Board of Alderman
an ordinance to that effect will be
introduced. This will make the
tenth ferry for regular passenger
business between New York CITY
and Jersey,
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS RAISED.
BY the time this letter reaches the
eyes of its readers, the $4,000, OOC
Guarantee Fund for the worlds
Fair in this city Will no doubt, have
been subscribed, and the project
will be in shape for presentation to
Congress next week. No question
about it. we have been very slow il
raising such a comparatively small
sum for so large an undertaking
and benefit. Oar very rich men
have, as Il rule, woefullY fallen be-
meath the standard of what was ex.
pected, but orr "middle class" has
been generous. The fact that JAY

600 and upwards, subscribed at the

that if the fair is held here, they

Love met me on day.
And Love was weeping;
"why weep, sweet Lover said:
He drooped his golden head.
saying: For loves decay,
For hearts that are old and dead,
M worth the keeping"
But while he spoke spied
A wicked arrow peepins
From the quivcr at hts side,
And when ! stopped to kise him,
Before could caress him,
He seised the tiny dart,
And threw II nj my heart;
Then, like n lark In May,
Fluttered and ficw away.
Love met us on day,
And Love was gay;
"Well met, sweet Love- we said
He tossed hts golden head
Like little child In play:
He said, 40 happy day!
For not oil hearts are dead.
Not all are old aud cold;
Smart cancels smart
When heart to heart
MY silver chains enfold.
wept," he said, "for loves not true:
I smile, !" ne said. "for you and you''--
Then, lIsping out some tender word,
And looking up aud laughing low,
He snatched the bowstring from his bow
And bound us with the silver cord;
Nor ever shall the sad fates sever
The twain that Love made ono forever.
