administration Ia that State, should 1t
be successful In the fall in bringing
about sweeping Democratic victory,
will be felt all through the northwest
and will weaken considerably Repuoll-
can prospects there next year. The
farmers, who hold the balance of power
ia that section, will not be slow in rec
ognlzing that their material interests
are best served and guarded by the
Democratic party.
In New York the situation is plain.
New York is naturally Democratic, and
has never been changed from its alleSi-
ance to the party of the people except
through disreputable means. The new
ballot law put an end to the influence OF
corruption and intimidation, which
enabled Mr.. HARRISON to carry the
State in 1883. The commercial and in
dustrial Interests OF the State have
been especially injured by the Repubi-
Cdu ittIil ptSStU ny Jiic IpiildO4N DOi-
LAR Congress. The loss of the Worlds
Fair, caused by the Republican boss,
and the shameful disregard of public
interests by the late Republican State
Senate, the notable increase OF Federal
taxation, which affects that State
more than any other, and the splen-
did record OF honesty and economy
left by the Democratic State admins
tration and Assembly, must prove all
powerful at the polls. The Democratic
party In the State is thoroughly united
and confident of success, while the enc
my is disorganized and demoralized.
The coming fall elections may be consid-
cred as an important part Of the Presi-
Dental canvass, and should the Demo
Gratis carry the three States just men
toned, there will not be the slightest
doubt regarding the successor of Mr..
HARRISON. The Republican party must
fight for it's life, this fall. Its defeat
will only make the question OF the issue
of the presidential canvass foregone
conclusion.

THE New Trial Of Popular Govern
ment," and 1t goes without saying that
his remarks were weighty, fOrcible aud
eloquent. Mr.. WILSON looks with alarm
upon the tendencies Of our government,
for which the Republican party is respon-
sible, namely, the gradual curtaIling OF
the liberties of the people by centraiiz-
ing power at Washington, making the
government, practically, dispenser OF
wealth, the partner OF selfish corpora
tions. 1--WE cannot" says Mr.. WILSON,
'buy relief for ourselves from the evils
that surround us at the price OF any
part of our freedom" This paternalism
in the government, its encroachment
upon the rights of the States, Mr..
WILSON vigorously attacks as the worst
and most dangerous foe OF popular
government.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
EVA BEST.

When We Should Put Out of Sight Every
thing Disagrecable.
Three thousand years ago Moses In
structed the Israelites to keep fessA
after they got established in the Holy
Land. They called it the feast of the
tabernacles, and for eight days follow
ing the close of the harvest they dwelt
in booths made chiefly of green boughs,
and feasted on corn, wine, oil and
fruits.
The Greeks had a nine days feast of
similar character, and the Romans also
had one in honor of Ceres. goddess of
grain.
The Saxons had harvest home, and
after them the English. Our Thanks
giving comes from the Puritans, and Il
will be noted that. like all it's predeces-
sors, the observance bore special refer
ence to the harvest, and. if the harvest
failed, there was no Thanksgiving. We
have outgrown that narrow view of the
day, and it is safe to say that ThSnks-
giving day win never be omitted again.
no matter what calamity falls on the
country.
We have discovered that there is al
ways something to be thankful for.
Sorrow and disappointment come to all.
but there is no life so dark that it is
without one ray of sunshine. II you
have nothing else. you are to be thank
full for life itself.
Did you ever think what it is not to
have single friend in the world? There
may be such persons somewhere, and
can you not be thankful that you have
friends and relatives?
Life is mostly struggle and strife, and
that is why we should look on the bright
side as often as possible.
Thanksgiving day is the period when
we should put out of sight everything
that is not bright and joyful It is the
day when, if any of your friends or re-
lations are estranged from you, it is
your duty to hunt them up and effect a
reconciliation. Bid them to your
Thanksgiving feast and forgive and be
forgiven.
True philosophy means to make the
best of everything. Give thanks for
what you have and forget what you
have not For one day only look on the
bright side of life and give thanks
with all your heart and soul, and you
will have your reward in a feeling of
happiness that will remain with you for
many a day.-Golden Days.

with me, asked for little time.

''Why certainly, Hood" he said, ,"but
-eh-couldn't for anything else, you
know"
Still that is alien to my subject.
Thanksgiving in general, and Thanks
giving dinners in particular, will al
ways touch responsive chord when
the button is pressed in my vicinity.
We are such good eaters. we Hoods.
There are so few things that we don't
like. Light meat or dark meat. it's all
the same to us. A little of the breast,
the neck, drum stick or the wishbone,
will do us nicely, thank you, and if
they are all gone we can get along
beautifully with the Gizzard and plenty
of gravy and stufing.

1t is right that we should be thankful
and eat much turkey on Thanksgiving
day, for yea, that which we do not eat
will be warmed over for us the rest Of
the week.
We have much to be thankful for.
The worlds fair is bound to be held
sometime, new states have been added
to US, and babys teeth have come
through well. Next year we will have
politics. Let us be thankful that it is
not this year.
If we are sons or daughters who have
fed or been kicked from our fathers
home in days gone by, let us remember
that Thanksgiving day is the dandy
time to waltz home and have all for
given, unless the standard Thanksgiv-
ing day story is wrong.
If we are rich, let US be thankful that
we know not the pangs of poverty, and
If we are poor, let US be thankful that
we do not have the care and responsible
ity of great wealth.
Let us be thankful anyway.

WHILE the great mass of the Christian ministers of the world, are seemingly we'd ded to things as they are, industrially, it is refreshing to hear from time to time, from such men as cardinal Manning, Bishop Huntington, and Dr. McGlynn, ,-the latter deposed for his true Christianity. Their words and thoughts are as oases in the theological desert. Here is the latest from the eminent English Catholic prelate: "Hitherto we have been strang!ed by ex- aggerated individualism. The coming century will show that human society is something greater and nobler than any, thing purely individual. Politicians and economists of the modern school have had their day. The twentieth century will be altogether for the people. for laws that will ensure common prosperity under 8 Christian regime" Now if His Eminence will only go to work to inspire the great mass of the spiritual teachers of his own faith, both in England and America to do something towards the fulflment of his prophecy he will be engaged in the noblest effort of his life, and will be doing more for the cause of religion than can be done in any other way.,

HERE is a little paragraph we found go- ing the rounds the other day: "A young Jewess who had studied medicine and graduated in Moscow was employed in one of the hospitals there. The new law ban ished her from the city. In order to be able to stay she took out a license as pros- titute.' This, surely, betokens terrible condition of affairs. Is it any wonder that so many attempts are made to rid the world of 8 monster who can send forth such decrees If the Government of our country and the other countries that pro- fess to be Christian, were what they ought to be, intercourse would be at once shut off with such barbarous nation, to make it's tyrant ruler feel, in some degree, how reprehensible he appeared before the world. But conditions here, and in some other so-called Christian countries in some respects, are no better. Are there not thousands upon thousands in them obliged to save their lives, to say nothing of their liberty, by actually resorting to the reality of what this young Jewess merely does as a saving subterfuge.

farmers organizations, aiming for the same purpose, wish to ally their fortunes with those of opposite principles, let them have all the benefit there is in it. Soon they will discover there is not much, and will be glad to retrace their steps. One thing is certain, the men who have left the old parties on principle can never be induced to stultify themselves by accepting any of their doctrines as an admixture of their own. These men have burned the bridges behind them and cannot be in- duced to build &hem again for any such purpose. A straight fight for principle is the only one that can win permanent and substantial results.

FROM a Western exchange we learn that another trade-dollar swindle is in the -fi- nancial incubator. It is 'span American dollar' this time, for use in the Central American republics. It is not to be a le- gal tender, which makes room for the op- eration of the fraud. These dollars will be paid out in Central and South America for sugar, coffee and other tropical product tions, taken at their bullion value, of course. Then some speculator will send or bring lot of them here and slip them out gradually. They will go unnoticed among the standard coinage, until they come to the banker who will place his veto upon them, unless offered at a discount. Then comes the turn of the merchant to refuse them after getting rid of the mum Der on hand, when they finally remain with the unsuspecting people to get rid of them at the bankers valuation. And we may be sure that he is not going to miss the opportunity of reaping his share of the fraudulent harvest. If the people were only in the habit of electing the right kind of material to represent them in Con- gress, such swindles would never be perpe- trated on them.
