LET US BE THANKFUL

THANKSGIVING belongs TO religious
people Gratitude is impossible with
out the recognition Of some person to
whom thanks are due. The pleasurable
sensations which are sometimes mis-
taken for thankfulneSS are only the
consciousness of ambition gratified and
senses satisfied. IL is tile genial self
adulation of well-fed egotism. All ami
mails whose StOmachs are full share
these emotions after their kind.
Let us be thankful.
Let us with intelligence recognize the
source of our benefits, and with rever-
ent hearts acknowledge His fatherly
goodness. The life of the world flows
from the Divine Life as from an ever
flowing fountain. The riches of the
earth and the punishment of the heaV-
ems are His gifts. We are not in the
grip of remorseless fate. We are in
the hands of Eternal Love. For album
dant harveslS. for peaceful homes, for
social joys, for pleasure of mind and
imagination, for opportunities of wor-
ship and religious culture, for all the
mercies OF life and for hope after death,
let us thank God.
1t will not do to talk about an in
finite power in nature" forit is not pos
sible to feel gratitude to rolling mills or
factories, even if you multiply the
wheels to fill all space and cali the
machine nature. The mind and heart
of man cry OHt for that personal Mind
and Heart which is the source and sus-
tenance of all Things.
Let US be thankful to God.

LET Us BE AT 1T.

The GLOBE suggested yesterday that
ST. Paul had one thing i'll its favor, and
which would count materially in the
present race, and that was the general
feeling OF good will and friendliness for
it anu its people which prevails all over
the Union. This city has on many oc-
casiOns been the seat OF large gather
lngS, and as the gateway to the whole
Northwest thousands of people coming
and g0lng have learned to know its
streets and to enjoy its hospitality.
When we go before the national com
mittee TO present our claims they will
receive a kindly hearing. They must
however, be backed by substantial and
numerous supporters, and a campaign
OF proSelyting and converting must be
at once inaugurated to this eud. The
Democracy from Minnesota to til

lanX in our behalf. and organized to

worthy of tine most earnest striving, at
tainable if we try, and of infinite import

FRANCE Is READY.

Nothing is too good for the armies of
Germany and France. if it contributes
to their efficiency and potency as mill
tarY forces. The impression somehow
has obtained that the military estab-
lishment OF the Emperor WILLIAM is su-
perior to that of France, and probably
would prove in war to be the most ef-
fective the world has ever known. The
impressions of the war of couple of
decades ago are likely to be carried
along until they are subverted by new
tests. But the opinions of writers
who are capable of, and have had
facilities for judging, are strongly
in favor of the army of France
as the greater and more COM
pletely equipped force. It is asserted
that i'll case of war with Germany there
would be surprise at the superior eff
iiciency of the French army. Sir
CHARLES dixie, who is accepted as
high authority, has witnessed its action
and discipline, and he believes these
are equal to any possessed by the armie

THE LARGE EXPORTS.

With the enormous stocks of bread
stuffs in this country this year the
farmer would have had phenOmenally
low prices but for the failure in so large
a part of Europe. With no unusual de-
mand for grain abroad, the market
would be glHtted, and the experience of
other such periods intensified 10y reason
of the unprecedented excess of the pre-
ductiOn. Wheat would not leave much
margin over the cost Of growing it. and
corn would he used as fuel. The in
creased taxation imposed by McKin-
leyism then would be severely real

upon the consumers and has not opened
up any new markets to the farmers.

THE DIFFICULTIES.

In order 10 secure the convention ST.
Paul will need guaranty fund suffi-
cient TO cover the necessary expenses.
The maximum estimate of what they
will amount to is usually $4,000, but
actually they will probably fail 4 good
deal short of this. The city. however,
will have to be prepared to donate this
sum, provided this much is required.
The universal expressions of approval
which the scheme is eliciting from
every side leave no room for doubt that
$4,000, or even a larger amount, is al
ready in sight. Beside the guaranty
fund. S.. Paul will need a suitable
building in which the convention may
be held. In this respect Min
neapolis has had an advantage
in IFS recent contest. and it may
be admitted that here is the most
substantial difficulty which stands
in the way of our present ambition. But

THEY WILL LOSE IOWA,

The most enthusiastic and arithmetic
ally expert Republicans have been I'M
able to compile any electoral table that
will give them the 223 votes needed to
elect a president without Iowa. Hence
the persistent effort to show that its
voting the past two years does not really
mean that it is in any danger of going
astray next year. A wonderful amount
of ingenuity has been expended in
working over the figures and trying to
run down local questions as causes. The
usual claim of Republican reserves got
ten out only in the national contests
is cut off by the fact that the vote
was many thousands larger than
ever before east at any election. Then
there is trouble in finding the solution
in the temperance question, as the gains
for the Democrats are not in the cities
and river counties specially opposed to
prohibition. The returns show that. as
III New York state. the overturning is
in the country districts, among the farm
eTs. The saloons are not among them
and they have little interest in the pro-
hibitiOn issue. In the campaign they
were restless when the speakers talked
of the liquor business. They called
for facts or the tariff issue. As
in other states, they have been
SLOW in realizing their interest
in the subject. and have been
restrained by old party names and
prejudices, but they are beginning to
see the subject in its true light, and are
voting the way their material interests
dictate. They will do this more numer-
ouSly and emphatically next year, and
the logic of the situation sets irreSistibly
in favor of a more pronounced tariff re-
form slate next year. This will make a
fatal gap in the Republican lines, it is
true, but it is not seen how they can
help it. Tariff reduction will be the
uniyOcal cry of the aggressive DemOc-
racy l.: the national election. and it
really looks as ii the Republicans would
have 10 do without Iowa.

BE NOT TROUBLED.

People with distempered imaginatiOns
often see things that have no visible eX-
istence to others. Certain Republican
seers have visions of painful disaster to
the Democrats in the house which was
flooded by the reform wave of year
ago. The speakership contest is to end
in faction and feud. The unwIeldy vol
ume of the Democracy is to oseillate and
shatter itself. The coinage question is
to produce far from silyery notes. The
tariff is to come in as the great disturber.
Some would do nothing but beat the air
and shout the party name. Others
are to insist that complete tariff
bill, covering all details, shall be
passed as the Democratic embOdi-
ment. The conservative element is 10
limit itself with bills to remove the most
obnoxious of the MCKINLEY duties.
This is all hard upon the sympathies Of
the Republicans. but they need not Dor
row trouble. The Democrats will try to
look good natured. whichever OF the very
capable gentlemen in the field is elected.
Whatever little Emergencies they may
have about minor matters, they will be
