An English author says that the fatal
2efect in the American international
copyright law is that it requires all for
eign books to be reprinted in Arnerics
before they can be copyrighted. The
publisher is thus put to double expense,
and the public must necessarily pay
more for their books. He declares the
law was made in this shape to give work
to the 10000 printers who would thus be
enabled to get employment. For the
sake of helping the 10000, 100000 600
people must thus pay higher price for
international literature.

In Observation-Disclosures.

He was the only surviving creature
from the Custer massacre on Little Big
Horn in 1876. He was wounded in seven
places, robbed of all his valuables and
left for dead. Yet he was not dead, but
managed to crawl away from the field
of blood, where he was found some days
after the battle. He was tenderly cared
for and recovered. He belonged to the
United States army, but was never re
CURED to do any service from that event
full day till not long since, at Fort Riley,
Kan, he died of old age, honored and
regretted by all who knew him.
Comanche was horse. He belonged
to the United States cavalry service and
was As years old when he died. He was
ridden into the fatal fight by his gallant
master, Captain Keogh, relative of
General Custer. Comanche came out,
but he was riderless, and no man ever
rode him again. At military reviews
he appeared on parade with empty sad
die, reminder of the bloodiest battle
tragedy of this generation, the massacre
of Little Big Horn AT cavalry drills
the old fellow was occasionally bridled
and saddled and led out with the rest,
responding to the familiar bugle signal
for fifteen years, till he heard and an
swered the final trumpet call Brave

have no soul.

Thanksgiving Dinner.

Remember, American viands on your
table for Thanksgiving. Mince pie,
plum pudding and roast goose belong to
Christmas in the old countries. In this
United States roast turkey aud pumpkin
pie belong to Thanksgiving. Then there
are cider and the rich California wines,
Florida oranges, California nuts and
raisins and sweet potatoes from all over
Anything far fetched or Frenchy on
that day will be sacrilege. Byno means
omit succotash, the rare old Indian deli
cacy, from your list.
The olives and salt almonds for relish
are products of your own magnificent
land. So is the rich ruby cranberry
sauce that makes the turkey taste like
the ambrosia of the gods. With sugar
at five cents pound candies can be
made at home more toothsome than
those from the confectioner's. Nearly
everything that goes to make up the
true Thanksgiving dinner is American
except the coffee, and that we get by
reciprocity treaty with Brazil, so we
need not feel any hesitation about drink
lng that.
Then, when all is ready, call in every
member Of your family, the relatives
you love best, one or two forlorn wild
ows, old maids. widowers and old bach
elors who have nobody to make a feast
for them, drape the flag with forty-four
stars above your table and eat your din
uer and thank God you are Americans

Like the pilgrim fathers, too, these ne

throughout.

Strange and full Of pathos was the
scene when they embarked. Devout as
ever the Puritans were were these long
descended children of land to which
they were returning, poor and ignorant,
but full of hope. A venerable preacher
OF their race prayed solemnly as the
little ship left the dock. AS the steam
tug dragged it rapidly out of sight down
the bay the last sound heard by those on
shore was the weird strain of negro
camp meeting song. A negro preacher
explained to Sun reporter their reasons
for going as follows:
We are going because the good Lord put
the colored man in Africa, and there he meant
him to stay. The Lord gave America to the
white man and Africa to the black man. We
weren't meant for this land. 1t was no fault
of ours, nor yet of the Lords, that we were
transplanted here, and we believe we are only
fulfilling the Lords will when we go back
This is no little movement, sir; it's convic-
ton. sir. It's the voice of God, sir. That voice
is going through the land, sir, and it's wills

The United States Government has
committed itself so thoroughly to the
principle of arbitration in the adjust
ment of vexed international questions
that if Chill should ask that the mat
tiers now IN controversy between the
two countries be referred to such tri-
bunal, the Administration could not
refuse. But there. are at least two
Powers that would not be acceptable to
this country as enthusiastically,
Italy and China.

Germany has just finished expert
ments with a thell for the use Of the
army, which will spread devastation
for nine hundred feet around, whereas
the best implement of destruction Of
this kind used during the Franco
German war only injured those within
fifty PAGES. A battery could, it is es-
timated, by placing these shells well,
destroy of itself whole division of an
army. With war clouds threatening
in both the New and the Old World, it
seems idle to suppose that such death
dealing weapon will never be used.

What can be thought of men calling
themselves civilized and decent, and hv-
ing in an enlightened eastern state,
who will tar and feather girl Of eight
cen and turn her out on cold night in
public highway without clothing?
There are reform schools, there are prison
reformatories, there is law enough in
any county of the Union to properly
punish girl of that age, no matter what
her crimes may be. The day may come
when these men will not be proud OF
their exploit.

The person who would hold negro
woman in slavery all these years since
the wssr, keeping her in ignorance of her
freedom and getting her services for
nearly thirty years for nothing, would
steal the last piece Of bread from the
plate of his own blind, deaf and dumb
grandmother. Yet this man has been
found. Where? We are ashamed to
tell where such mean man lives.

American citizen, Only death itself

A report comes from Londen to the
effect that Lord Randolph Churchill is
likely to be appointed British Ambas-
sador to st. Petersburg. If such an
appointment should be made, the
usual dizziness of diplomacy would be
relieved by some very lively incidents.
Randy has. however, done nothing
to justify the belief that he could cope
with the willy statesmen at ST. Peters
burg, especially at juncture when
the slightest mistake might precipitate
a war between the two Powers. He
would be picturesque diplomat, but a
dangerous one.

News from Washington is tothe effect
that peace with Chill is assured. The
navy department declares that no war
like preparations are being made, and
Secretary Blaiae has dined with Senior
Montt. While it is not likely that
Blaine will do Montt to death with
kindness it is not improbable that he
will do" the CHILEAN with few state
anchors to windward.

The Navy Department has announ-

The outlaw Bob Sims, who with two
followers was lynched by an Alabama
mob on Saturday night, had long cited
the Bible IN defense of every form of
outlawry, and urged that it was the
duty Of Christians to defy the law. The
people of Alabama seems ohave taken
him at his word with literalness
which if not UNSUITABLE was certainly
not very surprising.

The Marquis Of Lansdowne, Vice

tour of that country, has everywhere
been received with warm expressions

Congress, which is now in session, has
declared itself in favor of an everlast-
ing union between England and India.
AT all of this Russia doubtless smiles,
and, like the Turk, is dreaming of the
hour when India will pay her tribute.
