THE LAWYERS SHOULD BE GRATEFUL.
The prosperity of the bar is init
mately, might say vitality, interviewer
with that of the nation The fallacy
that it grows fat on the public loss and
prospers IN an inverse ratio to the other
classes of society is kept alive by pop
ular superstition and fed by ignorant
prejudice The bar reaps fair harvests
only from rich soil and takes it's tithes
only from prosperous parishes. When
the community raises its voice in
thanksgiving for the bounties of Provi-
dence, the chorus would be inadequate
and its significance incomplete if the
ministers of the law did not join their
voices in the hymn of grateful praise.
But there may be g special object of
gratitude TO call forth the bars recog-
milton of the Divine bounty. The
people, as a mass, still recognize the
force, the authority and the sapetity
of the law. The exceptions which SO
often wound our confidence in the
peoples wisdom confirm the rule, and
when we look Over our broad aud
prosperous land it is with the assur-
ance that law, based upon high princi-
pies of justice and morality, still con-
trolls the Judgment and commands the
reverence of the nation.
Local and factional re bellion, clothed
in fraud and uttering falsehood, may
sometimes carry the day, but sys-
tematic shams and deception are
shortlived. The false ring of the
counterfeit coin is soon detected by
the vigilant citizen; and he may pre-
serve his liberties If he is worthy to
enjoy them.
In the hour of danger the bar will
be the citizens best defender. Rogues
must continue 70 denounce and express
a poor opinion of the law, but that
law would be entitled to little respect
of which the rogues thought well.
May justice, represented by the bar,
long continue to enjoy the respect of
good men, the hatred of bad men, the
jealousy Of stupid men, and when the
season Of rendering Thanksgiving re
turns in its annual circle, may the bar
always have occasion to be thankful,
not that its members are better than
the publicans and other sinners, but
that there is a power lodged in them
selves to keep these and all their kind
from destroying the republic.

WHY RAILROAD 4ES SHOULD OFFER
THANKS.

WHY RAILROAD MES SHOULD OFFER
THANKS.
Railroad employees should be CRATE
full because they have not suffered
either in the loss Of employment or in
reduction of wages to any extent which
can be compared with the misfortunes
of their fellow-workmen in other pur-
suits. Railroad managers should be
grateful, because with the unusual
number Of passengers travelling and
the large increase of irregular train
service caused by the worlds fair 50
few accidents have happened There
have been a few horrible casualties,
but the number Of people killed or
wounded in proportion to the number
transported Is very small. The owners
Of railroad stocks and bonds should be
grateful, because at a period Of unprec-
edented depression in every business,
The worlds fair has supplemented the
conditions created by the panic, so far
as the railwaysAare concerned, with
an increase Of traffic which has been

WHY rHEosoPH1srs REJOICE.

The Theosophists should have copioys
satisfaction in the great expansion of
press and public interest in theosophy
during 1898, and In occasions to mem
bership and branches. The astonishing
Success Of the Theosophlcai 66ngrese IN
the Chicsg5 parliament of religions is
by far the most noteworthy matter of
the year, and shows both the increase
Of attention to theosophy and the
value found in it when understood.

FOR THE EDITORS THANKSGIVING.
The newspaper man may be grateful
this Thanksgiving day for the prospect
Of better times we are having. SO re-
sponsive is the press to any rise or de-
cline of the national prosperity that it
IS not merely the first to give warning
Of a coming change. but the first to
feel the effects of it. Now that there
are indications Of an era Of improve
ment, the newspaper man rejoices and
Thanksgiving comes to him this year

RABBI eoTrHEL FOR rHE JEWS.

l cannot find anything that should
excite a special feeling of gratitude in
the community, as far as religion is
concerned, as long as each body has
an eye and heart only for its own
private interests l say private advis-
edly, because all the expenditure of
money and labor has for its ultimate
object the glorifcation of a church, Of
q name, of method. not simply the
good of mankind. Ifthat were so would
the various churches and sects not Join
hands and carry out the worluof reform
alton and improvement in grander and
more successful style? We Israelites
are still thrown upon our own re-
sources and efforts with the exception,
perhaps, of the souls of the furnishing
immigrants for whom the missionary
with his aids and abettors has a pitiful
heart. This is no complaint We are
perfectly satisfied to take things as
they are. Nothing has occurred in the
past year to affect materially the posi-
ton of the jew in this country except
THO parliament Of religions in Chicago
which | hold to be the greatest benefit
for which religious bodies should offer
their thanksgiving to Providence.
Even those who treated the event with
contempt were afraid to show them
selves in the company Of other good

workingmen of the country have to be
thankful in this year of our Lord.
So large number vainly seek an op-
portunity to earn livelihood for their
families and themselves; they have
none to say kind word or DO a hu-

completely dependent upon their own

they have themselves alone to be
thankfulfor that they have organized

Justify yelling. Fire. fire." and then the
usual volley of pistol shots followed.
Smoke and flames were seen coming
from the familiar haystack in the rear of
the Grand Central hotel. The fire de-
partment quickly responded, and had a
line of hose laid. but it was not neces-
sary to turn On water. as a few buckets
of water extinguished the blaze. The
origin of the fire is a mystery, as no one
had been around the stack for several
hours. and it is attributed to incendiar-
ism. one of the n~eighbors stating that
she saw an unknown manrun away from
the premises just before the alarm was
sounded.

upon the minds of somebody that this
uncovered hay stack is exceedingly dan
gerous. and should be removed. The

main two-story building there is only "a
narrow passageway of about four feet.

night. the starting of a fire there is a
menace to the entire city. The fireman
will all remember a battle which was
fought with a fire in that same place on
a fearfully cold night about two years
ago. when the place was saved almost by
a scratch. while they all suffered from
chilly breezes. and there is not a man in
the department who does not dread an
alarm from that neighborhood.
