THANKSGIVING.


Tomorrow will bring to us again the an
niversary of Thanksgiving, with all its rec
objections and joys. It's return brings to
mind its origin and history, and furnishes
a splendid illustration of the drift OF
thought and conduct of the masses of the
American people. Once it was a day of
fasting and prayer. 1t is now an annivers-
airy of feast and pleasure True, the clergy
gather the focks together and preach elo-
quently of the day and its history and offer
up the gratitude of an honest Christian
heart. They beg their hearers to be more
grateful; to remember the poor because it
is written that it is more blessed to give
than to receive. But it is so easy to put off
giving, to turn aside from the poor and
needy and lose ourselves in the feast. How
true it is of the world that in the midst of
plenty, prosperity and health we profess
gratitude to higher power and go through
the form of worship, while the cry of the
poor, the shiver of the thinly clad and the
pallor of the half-starYed child is heard and
seen almost within sight of the altar. And
this remains unchanged as the congrega-
tion wends its way to the homes over
whose doorways and around whose hearth
stones rests the vines OF plenty and the evil
dences of thrift. The hand of providence
has been kind and good to us, but,
II can no other answer make but thanks,
And thanks; and ever oft-goOd terms
Are shutt1ed of with such uncurrent pay"
Gratitude, like religion, consists in doing
something, not alone in thinking thanks
AS the memories of this declining year
come to us today, let us look around and
relieve some one less fortunate or favored
than ourselves. Let the impulses of gen !.
erous hearts move us to tighten up some
dark spot; to disperse somewhere the gath
ering gloom, to relieve the pangs of hun
ger, shut out the cold and hush the sob of
some poor, sad heart, no matter whether
the cause be Of birth, or from neglect, eI-
travagance or drink. Peace and plenty
surround us when we compare our situa-
tion with their condition, and tits this con-
dition which charity is called to change.
Let tomorrow be day of thanksgiving and
kindness, and the year to come will be even
fuller of sunshine and Joy.

long standing It doesn't simply palliate-
It cures. If you believe it, so much the
better. There's nothing more to be said.
You get it for so cents, from all druggists.
But perhaps you won't believe It. Then
there's another reason for trying it. Show
that you can't be cured, and you'll get $780,
It's plain business offer The makers of
DR.. Sage's Remedy will pay you that
amount If they can't cure you. They know
that they can-you think that they can't If
they're wrong, you get the cash. If you're
wrong, you're rid Of catarrh.
Here are some of the symptoms of Catarrh:
Headache, obstruction Of nose, discharges
falling into throat, sometimes profuse, wa
terry, and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious,
mucous, purulent, bloody, putrid, and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears, deafness ;
offensive breath smell and taste impaired
and general debility. Only a few Of these
likely to be present at once.

THE contraction "Wash." i" for the name
of this state, which the postmaster general
either devised or authorized, is about as
bad as could be suggested. The telegraph
companies use the contraction "Wn." and
we submit that this is more in accordance
with usage and good taste. We suggest to
our contemporaries that it be adopted gen.
erally.-Seattle Telegraph.
1t does not matter whether it is Wash. OF
Wn., for mistakes are bound to occur so
long as there is a great Washington city
anda state by the same name. The only
way to avoid it is to write Estate of Wash
ington." The collector of customs OF
Washington city recently told the writer
that invoices of goods belonging to mer-
chants of the state of Washington fire.
quently came to the custom house there.
Secretary of State Weir has received letters
for the secretary of state, Washington city,
and letters for Takoma Park, Washington
city, frequently come to Tacoma, Wash

THE OLYMPIA TRIBUNE says R. B. Hayes
was elected without New YOrk's vote. Re
fleet moment upon this matter, neighbor.
We have distinct recollection of the fact
that r. B. Hayes never was elected presl-
dent of the United States; but was counted
in. A dirty transaction which will always
remain blot upon the pages of the coun-
try's history.-Shelton Sentinel.
Hayes was declared elected by an cleo
toral commission established by a demo-
cratic house and a republican senate. The
democratic house adopted the report of
that commission and MT. Hayes was sworn
in. Itwas fair, square transaction-much
fairer than the fact that the shotgun kept a
million colored voters of the South away
from the polls in 1876, and since.
