THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving Day is one of the
relics left in our public life Of the
ideal state Of the Puritans. A
Thanksgiving was celebrated after
the first harvest which followed
The landing on Plymouth Rock
OF the l02 Pilgrims who came in
the MayAower, over half were
buried in graves which were left
unmarked for fear Of showing tn
Indians how weak the remnant
was. On the fiat roof of the meet
ing house which stood on the high
est hill in Plymouth, were three
cannons, and the gun, loaded in
readiness for any sudden onslaught
of hostile Indians, was in the hands
of every man while he heard the
words of the preacher from Sun
day to Sunday. 1t was among
these and other circumstances of a
like nature that Thanksgiving or
iginated tits to be feared that
such thought would not have
occurred to this generation, we
have forgotten SO completely what
the Pilgrims remembered so well.
There is no denying that we are
generation Of men who forget our
individual obligations, and it is
not surprising that we forget his
toric obligations. Massach usetts,
with its deadly winter and bleak
wastes of rocks and sands, was
better than the most fertile spots
in Europe for those men who were
the only students of history and
politics in their generation and
who saw in the state Of England
and Europe all the agonies Of
tyranny and revolution which Eu-
rope and England have 81 nee pass
ed through. The Mexican of to-
day is the product of the institu-
tions from which the Puritan fled
and sould thank God to. have
escaped. Can we blame the
Puritan? Should we not 60 hum
bly, down on our knees each recur
ring Thanksgiving day and give
thanks to God and His servants
despised of men--the Pilgrims of
Plymouth Colony For without
.hese men human hope would have
no such picture as Massachusetts
to put against that of Mexico. The
light and liberty and peace of our
homes this h1nksgiving day are
the present 20 us, ungrateful
though we may be, from the stern
old fathers Of Plymouth.

something toward settling the so.
called survey so that permanent
and substantial improvements can
be commenced. Just how this
matter can be settled in justice TO
each resident remains for council
to decide. Many improvements
were made before the survey, con-
sequently streets and alleys are
occupied by valuable houses that
need to be removed without finan.
cial loss to our citizens. The en-
deavor to effect any settlement Of
the survey or advancement OF the
east side will very likely be con-
tested by parties who are interest
ed in another direction and also
by others who have tracts of the
survey fenced and hope to realize
handsomely therefrom, but it is
hoped council will come to the
rescue and do justice to each and
settle this important national
matter.

Monday morning the senate re-
sumed work on the bill to create a
commission TO meet the Cherokee
commission. Bunch, Young and
Tehee attempted TO load the bill
with amendments of frivolous
character, and argued them at
great length. Their only purpose
seemed to be to retard but they
failed in every attempt. and after
everybody had become worrie d
the president come Tom Reed on
them awhile aud business took the
place of delay. The bill passed
unanimously as originally pre-
sented and it was sent to the coun-
Gil. II now provides for five per-
sons TO negotiate with the Chero-
kee commission and submit every
thing to the council and people.
What the council viii do is be-
yond conjecture.
The bin to pay per capita is still
in the hands Of the chief, but ru-
NOR has it vetoed.

than has any chief in years.

Mr. Bushylsead, who it viii
readily be believed has studied
the situation as carefully as any
man in the nation, reaches the
conclusion that to run for chief on
the allotment issue at this time
would prove fatal TO the political
hopes Of the man who tried it.
He names six districts, in the most
favorable one Of which-SeqUoyah
the best that could be hoped for
would be a stand-0ff. This would

calculations, COoveescoowee. Del
