THANKSGIVING pAY


With grateful hearts let all give thanss
All lands, all stations, and all rankss
And the cry comes up along the warfkr
For what shall we give thanks to-day
For peace and plenty, busy mills,
''The cattle on thousand hills,p
For bursting barns, whereinis storel
The golden grain, precious hoard;
Give thanksl
For orchards bearing rosy fruit,
For yielding pod and toothsome root
And all that God declared was cool
In hill or dale. On field or wood:
Give thanksl
For water bright AMI sweet and clear,
A million fountains far and near.
For gracious streamlets, lakes, and rills
That tiow from everlasting hills; '--r--
Give thanks
For summer dews AMI timely frost.
The SUMS bright beams, not one ray los
For willing hands to SOW the seed
And reap the harvest, great indeed'
Give thanksl
For hearth and home-loves altar iirss-
For loving children, thoughtful siresi
For tender mothers, gentle wives,
Who fill our hearts and bless our livei.
Give thanks9
For heavens care, life'a journey through
For health and strength to dare and do
For ears to hear, for eyes to ses
Earth's beauteous things on lani aul sea
Give thanksl

So now you know why the Kirke
homestead is dazzling with lights and
flowers, aud why it resounds with laugh
ter this Thanksgiving; why old Godfrey
wears brann-new suit, and flower in
his buttonhele; why Robert, 10 his
rishtful place, looked so proud and
pleased; why dear, busy little Mrs. Dotty
beams henignly; why Bessie, gowned in
snowy, shining silk, thinks this is a
lovely old world after all; why Charlie
Nelson is so blessedly content, and why

She broke down in ct OF bitter
weeping.
sz,ss ss'Now, Miss Bessie, dear, you mustn't
cry that wsyys you really mustn't. I
loved your mother before you, aud love
you"
But the poor, little, old comforter was
almost crying herself.
Years before, the Kirkcs were the
people Of wealth and position in that
part Of the country. But one trouble
after another had come upon the house.
First, the wife OF the master died.
Maud, the daughter, married man
whose only crime was poverty. He was
frail, scholarly man, quite untitled for
a 6erce struggle against adverse fortune.
He fell i'll aud died. A year later his
wife followed him, leaving their child
toits grandfather, Godfrey Kirke. To
I the latter had come the final blow when
his only son Robert, his hope and pride,
had run away to sea. Then 10 the
house, which since the death of the mis-
tress had been a cheerless and drearY
place, began rigid reign of miscrliness
and consequent misery.
Bessie broke from her friend and ran
upstairs and into her own little bare
room. There was no fire in the CRATE,
though the day was cold with the pene-
trating damp of a wind from off the
ocean. She went to the window and

FREE SILVER COINAGE.

Public sentiment in the South
and West has demanded the free
and unlimited coinage of the white
metal, and members of Congress
from the two sections, who know
the sentiment of their constituency,
will act accordingly, and push the
matter in the House. Right or
wrong, the House Committee on
Coinage, Weights and Measures
has already decided to report IA
vorably the Bland free coinage bill,
which provides thatthe unitof value
shall he the standard silver dollar
as now coined, consisting of 4l2g
grains standard silver, Or the gold
dollar of 25.9 grains standard
gold. Any holder of gold or silver
bullion Of the value Of 500 or more
of standard fineness, shall be enti-
tied to have the same struck into
any authorized standard coinage of
the United States free of charge,
or may deposit the same at the
minis and receive therefor coin
notes equal in amount to the coin
age value Of the bullion deposited,
and the bullion thereupon shall be-
come the property of the Govern
ment.
The bill provides that after the
passage of the act it shall not be
lawful to issue or reissue gold OF
silver certificates or Treasury notes
provided for in the act of July IA
1890, entitled, can act directing
the purchase of silver bullion anC
the issue of Treasury notes thereon
and for other purposes. All sucf
certificates and Treasury notes re,
ceived at the Treasury shall be can
celed and destroyed, and coin notes
provided for shall be issued in lier
of the certificates and Treasury
notes so cancelled.
A man holding a coin note vii,
not know whether it is a gold nott
or a silver note, for, if he deposits
gold bullion or gold coin, he gets
coin note, and if he deposits silve
bullion or silver coin he only get
the same kind of a coin note. l
abolishes the present distinction
between our coin notes.
The bin was carried through tn,
committee by a vote of s to 5.

TEACH THEM A LESSON.

The New York Sun, which has
the reputation of standing for any
thing that is undemocratic, is sup
porting the Presidential claims Of
Senator HILL. This of itself is
enough to create suspicion among
Democrats and to defeat the we'll
planed scheme of the Hill boomers.
In an interview some time ago the
editor of the Sun declared that Sen
ator HILL could be nominated, be-
cause New York was solid for him.
When questioned as to how the rest
of the country stood, he very con-
temptuously replied that he did not
know and that it was a matter Of no
consequence; that the rest of the
country would be forced to accept
without a murmur the decision of
New York. However, more recent
events demonstrate the fact that
New York is not solid for HILL, and
that the action of the State COM
mittee in calling the convention for
this month is for no other purpose
than to capture the convention for
HILL and prevent the selection of
delegates who are in sympathy with
the people. Already some of the
most prominent leaders in the State
have openly protested against the
refusal of the committee to consult
the wishes of the people in the Sc
lection of delegates to the national
convention, and as a result the par
ty in that State will be hopelessly
divided into HILL and anti-HILL
factions, which leads us to conclude
that in consequence of the growing
dissatisfaction in New York, the
party will be forced to steer clear
of that State and look elsewhere fol
leader upon whom the party car
unite with confidence in the strug.
gle to secure the reforms in the gov.
eminent to which the party is com
mitted.

TOE THE MARK.

In times like these, when partisan
feeling should be strong, the follow
ing editorial from Tuesdays Nash
vile American is timely and to the
point;
A party grows strong by Rccessions to
its ranks and 10y existing recruits, but
they must be recruits ready to work and
fight for the principles ofthe party. BY
lowering its standards, taking men into
its ranks by extending its lines, and al
lowing those to shape it's policy who have
no sympathy with its aims, it simply
weakens itself and paves the way for its
own dissolution. There has been too
much of this in Tennessee, and the result
is showing in the decentralization which
is spreading in the ranks of the party.
The majority of the men of Tennessee
are Democrats. They want a govern
ment which will maintain the laws and
give every man fair field and no favor.
1t is imperative on the Democrats of the
State to come together and arouse them
selves from their lethargy. They must
come together as Democrats, to fight for
Democratic principles, and elect Demo
cratic leaders to carry out Democratic
policies. The principles of the Demo
cratic party are time-honored and we'll
known to all men. A man believes in
those principles or he does not. If he
does not he has no right in the Demo
cratic council chamber. No Republican
or Greenbacker or third party man has
right to say what policies Democracy
shall advocate or what leaders Demo
Gratis shall follow. Whether they shoot
from under cover or from out in the open
field Democracy must fight her enemies
she can not afford to ignore them. 1t is
the duty of the leaders of Democracy in
the counties to see that delegates to the
convention are selected by the Demo
Gratis of their counties, and not by the
members of other parties.

HERETOFORE it has been the pre-
diction that in the event of a foreign
war the United States would be at a
serious disadvantage in the lack OF
a navy. Now that we have formed
the nucleus Of a respectable navy,
we are confronted with another OBJ
stacle that should at once command
the attention of the Navy Depart
ment. 1t is difficult matter now
to man our ships of war with ex-
perienced American seamen and
marines, and unless something is
done in the meantime, when the war
vessels now building are completed
it may be impossible to man them
with native American seamen. The
formation of a naval reserve would
prove invaluable in the event of q
naval conflict.

The withdrawal of Mr.. BLAINE
from the Presidential contest may
change the situation for the little
man who now occupies the White
House, but it would be difficult to
foretell what the sentiment of the
Republicans will be two months
hence. MCKINLEY is of the opin-
ion that the President will have no
opposition, and he believes that the
ticket might again be HARRISON
and MORTON.

In formal letter to chairman
CLARKsoN, Of the Republican Ma
ticnal committee, Secretary BLAINE
states that he is not candidate for
the Presidency and that his name
will not go before the convention.
The letter created little general sur
prise, as his withdrawal from the
contest has been foreshadowed for
several days previous.

FROM a Republican standpoint,
now that BLAINE is out of the way,
there is no apparent reason why

DR.. HaRrER MEDICINE CO.. ST. Louis. No
Don't Take Cold.

This is apparently very simple thing
to say and very good advice to give. No
one would take cold if he could help it,
The thing is to know what to do when
you have taken cold. When you feel
chilly it is sign that the work which the
skin has been doing in removing thu waste
water and oarbonic acid from the blood
has been suddenly checked and the little
pores are closed and the system has re-
ceived shock. The work is then thrown
upon the kidneys and lungs. The blood
vessels in these organs become congested
and as those of the lungs and throat becoma
filled with blood cough sets in to try and
expe them. Now to take an opiate is
simply to parayze the muscles so that
you cannot cough, but that does not re-
leve the lungs or the kidneys. REID'S
GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY
CURE checks the cough by stimulating
the lungs, melting the kidneys to action,
and enabling the skin to resume its for
mer condition. In this way the cough is
cured and cured permanently. Get this
great remedy of any dealer.
