The commander Of the Post at Fort
Leavenworth in bis report to the secre-
tary of war complains of the evil infu-
ence that the bad places including the
joints in the city has over the soldiers
stationed at the fort. The complaint
does not imply very high compliment
to the moral status of the city, it must
be al owed, but it is dead give away
on the discipline and morals of the garri-
son. The import of the .vmplaint is
that the civil law and authorities of the
city neglect to do what the complainant
and the rigid military rule that is his to
enforce fail to accomplish. Where is the
post chaplain, the officers (who are sup
posed to be examplars as we'll as adj
ministrators of soldierly department in
Guiding good morals) the camp guard,
the provost, the court martial, and other
CONSTANTS and restraints and discip-
linary auxiliary? Bah.

JONES NOT IN IT.

It is said upon authority that the in
terview between Governor David Ben
nett Hill and Lieutenant Governor
Jones, at Albany, last Tuesday, was de-
cidedly picturesque. Jones came down
to Albany to see whether Hill would
abdicate and take his seat in the United
States senate at the opening of congress
in order that ne Jones) might play at
governor for one brief month. The
sturdy chief executive, who at this
time, particularly, is claimed by GER
tain set of henchmep, to be the right
Democrat in the right place, is reported
by the World to have walked all over"
the importunate freight-payer for his
presumption in proposing such a request
after his tactics during the recent cam
paign. In short, as result, Jones paid
his freight back to Binghampton in
utter disgust and Governor Hill Is, to
quote the gleesome EXPLANATIONS of the
Democratic press of New York, ''still on
deck" where he VIII remain until
Flower is seated and the Democratic
majority in the legislature definitely and
permantly secured and established.
From the standpoint Of good morals,
and common decency Hill is
as much an usurper as was Balmaceda
and Fonseca; but there is no probability
that he will follow the example by either
Of those unworthies.

Origin of "Auid Robin Gray"

A song altogether of Fife origin and
authorship marks the commencement OF
the period of modern ballads. II will be
acknowledged that Aud Robin Gray"
has few superiors, either among its prsde-
cessors or successors, though to call it the
king of Scottish ballads as Chambers
does, is to raise it to a dangerous emil
nence, which it would not be prudent even
for the most patriotic native of the "king-
dom" to claim for it. For our present pur-
pose it is more to the point TO observe its
modern character and sentiment. This
cannot be better shown than by an extract
from the letter Lady Anne Barnard wrote
in 1923 to the author of "Waverley," who
had referred in the pirate" to JEANNE
Gray, the village heroine in Lady Anne
Lindsay's beautiful ballad"
robin Gray" Lady Anne, then an old
lady, writes, 80 called from its being the
name of the old herdsman of Balcarres,

There was an ancient Scotch melody of

different words, and TO give its plaintive
tone some little history of virtuous distress
in humble life, which might suit it. While
attempting this in my closet / called to my
little sister, now Lady Hardwicke:

dear. am depressing nay heroine with

diately lifted By me and the song COM

bors, Aud Robin Gray was always called

met with"
To which Sir Walter Scott answered: 81

authentic copy Of 'Hardyknute,' and then

THE GROWTH OF A HOLIDAY.
From the New Orleans Times-DemOcrat.

FROM the New Orleans T1mes-Democrat-
The celebration of Thanksgiving in the
south was far more general and hearty
this year than ever before. It was a
holiday everywhere, even where the
legislature has not made it SO. The
banks and public offices were generally
closed; business was suspended, and
services were held in the churches, while
the Thanksgiving dinner, with its turkey
and other delicacies-hftherto rarity
was quite common.
When we remember how, few years
ago, Thanksgiving was mere name In
the south and wholly unobserved, the
change made IS all the more striking.
1t must now be accepted as national
holiday, although of local and sectional
origin, and the south in which the
national spirit is as strong as anywhere
in the country, should join in honoring
and observing it. From a simple New
England celebration Thanksgiving has
grown to be a national one, in which the
whole country can and should join.
We are glad to see the growth of
holiday, because, as matter of fact,
we have far too few holidays in the
United States 1t will not do to get down
to the condition of some of the countries
of Europe, where every other day is a
feast or holiday, but a little more rest
will do the Woodworking American peo-
pie great deal of good, and we could
not make better selection as a day for
rest and enjoyment than ''Thanksgiv-
ing" when the farm work of the year is
over. We hope to see the south join as
heartily in this celebration and make it
as truly national fete day as New Eng
land, where it saw its birth.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

There seems much uncertainty about
the Cherokee strip, although Secretary
Noble of the interior in his report to
congress urged tie immediate opening
Of that land TO settlement, and our dis
patches of Sunday morning said that the
commissioners and Indians had arrived
at an amicable understanding. The sec
rotary says that the Interests Of the
"Cherokees and the prosperity Of Okla
''homa and of the adjoining states de-
"mand imperatively that the country
"known as the Cherokee Outlet should
'be taken out Of the domain of contro-
"versy and opened to homestead settle
"ment. 1t viii thus be converted from
ga vast, unused, and almost lawless
''region to a territory occupied by thriv
cling citizens. 1t is not necessary to
center upon an extended history of the
''titles of these lands. The area to be
purchased is about 6,022, 754 acres. If
''the original offer is adhered to, $1.25
can acre, after deducting amounts al
"ready chargeable against these lands
'($72S, 2S9.46), the sum to be paid will
"be 81, 113, S46 80. But it is maintained
"upon authority, and has been recently
decided in two courts in Oklahoma,
"that the Cherokees have not only no fee
"simple title, as has been asserted by
"them, but not even a right to the use of
"the lands"
The secretary compliments the COM
on their faithfulness and con-
cludes by quoting a letter of Feb. -, 81,
written by himself with these words:
GAS applicable to the Cherokee outlet
believe the Indians have only an ease
ment which congress has power to de-
clare at an end upon any reasonable
for such interest"
Elsewhere in his report the secretary
warns the Indians that if they carry the
matter into the United States supreme
court and there fail, that they viii never
get anything while the fact remains that
at least two high courts have of late de-
cided that the Cherokees have no fee
simple right to the strip.
Of one thing there can be no mistake !
and that is that the secretary is right in |
declaring that it is in the interest of all
that the strip should be OPEN
ed to settlement

PIssIMIsM VS.. GRATEFULNEss.

The Introductory note to the published
reports of Rev. DR.. Talmage's sermon,
delivered in the Brooklyn tabernacle
Sunday, states that it was more of a
Thanksgiving address than otherwise.
Noting this the St. Joe Gazette rather
pissimistically observes that if CDR. Tai
mage had been preaching to a Russian
congregation Sunday his pulpit would
not have been banked full OF ripe fruit
and golden grain. Neither the fragrance
Of sheaves fresh from plenteou5 fields.
nor the aroma of the purple treasures of
the vineyard, nor the delightful bouquet
of luscious beauties from the orchard,
would have inspired his tongue or helped
the flights of his imagination, Had his
auditors been furnishing Russian peas
tants and their children sick with hun
ger, mad with the fear of a horrible
death, his theme would not have been
that dealt with in the sermon. The
American people have much to be thank,
full for, to be sure, but it is q melancholy
reflection that not the least potential fac
tor of our present prosperity
is q famine, threatening the lives
of millions. Back of the gratifying
condition of our trade with foreign
countries are myriads of starving peo-
pie, and along with our thanksgiving
for bountiful crops and inviting mar
kets, there comes the sorrowful thought
that over millions Of the race impends
the horrors Of famine and plague"
The Gazette's conclusions are no
doubt correct, but that does not afford
any good reason why we should not
feel grateful and give thanks for the in
estimable benefactions we enjoy. In
giving thanks for our good fortune it is
not understood that we are in any sense
rejoicing at the misfortuneS of others.
On the contrary, those only can truly
and intelligently give thanks for bless
ings received who can truly and hon
estly sympathise with the distressed
from whatever cause or in whatever
condition.
There smoothing either in the moral or
divine law that requires US TO forego ex-
preSsions and manifestations of graft
tude for benefactions to individuals or
communities simply because some other
individual or community is less favored
or may be forsooth under the ban of
adversely.

Here is a strange combination. A
special from Muncie, Ind, to the Cinein-
natl Commercial-GaZette SAYS; ''Sheph-
ard Ealkner is stone mason, who, with
his wife and children, has resided here
for year. Three years ago Falkner was
divorced from a woman at Watseka, Ill,
leaving her with seven children. He
married wife No 2 at Champaign, Ill.
Yesterday noon there appeared at the

and with her were seven children, rang
ing from to Is years of age. They
were welcome to the humble home of

THE IRISH-AMERICAN VIEW.

From the Washington Post.
A conference of Irish-Americans was
held in New York on Thanksgiving Day
under the auspices of the municipal
council of the Irish National league, for
the purpose Of considering the present
disorganized state" of the home rule
movement. The whole matter was gone
over, and a series of resolutions adopted,
the glst of which was in the nature of a
warning to the Irish that ''they can re-
ceive no further support, moral or finan-
cial, from this country until they call a
halt in the war of factions and reunite
the forces now engaged IN the work of
self-destruction."
There was no lack Of sympathy ex-
pressed fcG the cause. y policy broad
and far-reacbing enough 10 meet the
views of the most ardent
friends of Ireland was recommended
"a policy looking TO absolute
independence of English parties, to an
Irish parliament, having full power over
local affairs, and an executive invested
with the appointment Of judges and
magistrates responsible to this parlia-
ment-but the declaration was pro-
nounced and positive that no help need
be expected from the United States so
long as Irishmen themselves continue TO
squander their opportunities and waste
their resources IN partisan controversy.
Sir. Balfour is quoted in a dispatch
from Glasgow yesterday as saying that
''no matter what the future might bring
forth il would never bring home rule to

Mr.. Edwin Booth, to the regret of his
friends, is still in poor health. The
death of Mr.. Florence SO soon after Mr.
Barretts will, it is feared, have bad
effect on him, as one of his troubles is a
melanchoha and brooding over the past
and its troubles. Henry Irving has in
vited him to visit London, and he is said
to be seriously contemplating an accept
ance. His friends hope he will, feeling
sure that the change of scenes and sur
roundings would help to his speedy re-
covery to some of his old-time vigor.
