MOI EVEN A eoop GOOSE STORY


In the Cincinnati Enquirer of Nov.
IL, Gath" Geo. Alfred Townsend)
gives a long, laudatory essay on Gov.
Mckinley. Gath is Republican. This
essay was copied into the Canton Even
ing Rep of Nov. %. The following ex-
tract, which refers TO the editor of the
NEWs-DEMOCRAT and hie wife, Is given
an extra display headline by the Rep.
"Jhe wife OF a former Republican Con-
gressmRn told me at the Grand Army
camp at Boston, three to five years ago,
that her husband had settled down at
McKinley's town to drive him out of
politics with newspaper.
MADAM, your htsbEnd has challenged
good man."
Now, we ia the Eaut never knew about
one who took all the pains to defeat Nc
htnley and made himself an accessory of
Mchtnley's fate, so to gpeak,
Mckinley never noticed she provocation
1 feel sure never resented Il when he
met any of those people.n
The above extract was shown the
wife Of the former Republican Con-
gresham referred to, and she was very
much surprised and highly indignant
that she should be quoted in this sneak
ing way. She said, however, that there
was not one JCord Of truth in it. She
never said anything of the kind to
George Alfred Townsend, Gath
in Boston or anywhere else,
and never said anything of the
kind to any one else, and never thought
anything of the kind, and never heard
any body else say any thing of the kind.
This is quite emphatic, and as the wife
of the editor aforesaid did not have
one minutes conversation with Geo.
Alfred Townsend in Boston, and has
never seen him anywhere else, since
about 10 years ago, the statements of
Gath can properly be termed the sole
product "Gath's highly imaginative
brain.
Any person with the knowledge that
this district was, in 1888, about 1000
Republican, can understand what an
utterly silly thing it would be for a
lady, of even ordinary goose sense, TO
| say that her husband thought to drive
Mckinley out of politics in such q
district.
This kind of work does not amount
to very much, but in order to give any
person chance to test the truth of
| "Gath's" statements we have deposited
| 800 in the banking house of Isaac
Harter & Co., which will be donated to
the Associated Charities of Canton,
whenever the truth of "Gath's" state
ments are verified. And we will take
the opinion of Gov. Mckinley to decide
1t. Whenever Gov. Mckinley will say,
either verbally or in writing, that he
believes the wife of the editor of the
| INEws-DEMOCRAT made the statement
as published in the Enquirer and Can
tan Rep. the money will be paid over
without further question.

SUM OF ALL HOLIDAYS.
That Is Why Thanksgiving Should Be the
HappIeat of All.

That Is Why Thanksgiving Should Be the
Happiest of All.
We could not ask more suggestive
title or one which makes sweeter mu-
sic in an Americans ear This occa-
sion, says the New York Ledger, is diff
ferent from all other national holidays,
since 1t gathers them all up into one,
and with them unites every mercy of
the dying year, the bounties of its
harvests, the manifold gifts of white
winged commerce, the preservation Of
peace and prosperity, and recognizes
each and every one in gratitude DER
flowing with festivity and mirth.
Thanksgiving A word with which
to conjure happiness into the most dis
NAL and detected spirit The personal
associations of this festival are, per-
haps, it's greatest sources of attraction.
The father and the mother, expecting
John from the city and Mary from the
school, will recall the dear old days
when they, too, came home to roast
apples before the blazing logs, and
watch the ruddy glow glinting across
the polished mahogany, while
Talking the old times over, the parents sat
apart"
And what times they were, famous for
corn husltings unknown to this degen-
crate age, for moonlight straw rides
across the glistening snow and hoary
ghost legends of Hessian troopers.
Hence, Thanksgiving comes with redo
lent memories of past joys, blended
into the best and purest moments of
American life, It's homes and its hearts.
Let fair summers robes pale and die,
and the frosted leaves rustic beneath
the tread. What cares Thanksgiving
day for winters stern heralds? In fact,
we welcome good November day that
the cold without may form contrast
for the warmth within.
1t would disturb the eternal fitness
of things to eat the time-honored bird
and the national pie in the long, bright
days of leafy June.
No! The wise gobbler may contem-
plate perch upon the crescent of the
moon if he thinks fit, but he must
needs die, and, hanlted by cranberry
sauce and the constant pumpkin pie,
present himself to our view on the last
Thursday in November, and not day
earlier, please.
Then, as we cluster around the fire
and bid defiance to the elements, let
us remember to make Thanksgiving a
home-day, where all the dear ones will
gather, and eyes look love to eyes
which speak again.
1t must also be q happy day to every
body, from grandmother in the corner
to the cat slumbering at her feet. A
day for devout worship, joyous festiv-
ity, kindly deeds, old feuds healed up,
new friendships made; in short, a glo-
rious, old-fashioned Thanksgiving.

A TOUCHING PARODY,

The following poetical appeal won
for its author, the editor of the Rocky
Mountain Celt, the prize of $1,000 Of
fered for the best appeal poem to news
paper men to pay up their subscription
"Lives of poor men oft remind us, hon
est wen won't stand no chance; The
more we work there grow behind US,
bigger patches on our pants. On our
pants, once new and glossy, now are
stripes of different hue, all because sub
scribers linger and don't pays us what
is due. Then let us be up and doing

when the snow of winter strikes us, we
shall have no pants at all"

INGERsoLL ON IMMORTALITY.

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll is quoted
as saying: Il have never said that per-
haps before l die will say in public
that believein Immortality. l have
nothing to conceal on that question.
l have always been perfectly frank and
have given the transcript of my heart
and brain. 1 do not say that death
ends all, neither do / say that man is
immortal. say that do not know.
To know is one thing, to believe is an
other, and to hope still another. hope
for all good, for all Joy for the chilcren
of men, All l can say about immortal
ity is this; There was time when 1
was not, after that L was, now l am,
and it may be that 1t is no more won
derful that L shall continue forever,
now that have start, than it was
that should begin. We love, and
those we love die, and we cling to the
hope, to the wish, that we may meet
again, Love was the first to dream Of
immortality, and as long as we love we
shall hope"

LONDON is a seething caldron of all
nations. There are more Jews than in
Palestine, more Poles than in Poland,
more Irish than in Dublin and more
nondescripts than are gathered togeth-
er in any place in the world. Of Lon
don's 100000 population, only 100000
belong to the upper class while 100000
families rank in the lower class. Thirty
one per cent of the population are
crowded In quarters more than two per
more per room, Early marriages and
the disproportion between the
higher and lower, or richer and poorer

icient to temper the thoughts of the
rich to your naltedness.
Rejoice, o, we rich, that the spirit OF
charity is still alive in your hearts that
Iye may enjoy the pleasures of giving.
Thanksgiving day is indeed peace
maker. In a few short hours 1t sweeps
away the barriers that months of pride,
selfishness and cruelty on the one
hand, and improvidence, dissipation,
neglect and want on the other, have
been building between classes. 1t Is
one in the long list of holidays that
expands with age because it is one of
the few founded on religion. Secular
holidays come and go with the senti1
ments from which they sprung. But
Sabbath and Christmas and Easter and
Thanksgiving are not Of this number.
The history of the religion Of people
Is the history that lives Josephus'
scholarly chronicles of the Jews are
read not at all, while the Bible is In
every library and upon almost every
comfortable in the land. Homer is read
alike by old and young because the
machinery of Heaven is there. "Plu-
tarch's Lives" hold as much fascination
for the readers of to-day as for the ans
cient English scholars, because the
gods are in every battle, control every
triumph and bless every festival. The
human mind revels in the ideas awak-
ened by the contemplation of the
spiritual. The meager chronicles of
the American Indians would be "stale,
fat and improbable" but for the In
production of their religious fancies
and beliefs. The Indian never takes
so grand place in the minds eye as
when we see him in a religious frenzy
as Pope has painted him:
"Iol the poor Indian, whose untutored mind
Sees God In clouds and hears Him in the wind "
Thanksgiving day has grown far
beyond what it was originally intend
ed to signify or represent because OF
this very religious quality. From Civ
ing thanks to God for gifts to them
selves, men came to desire to be more
like that merciful Being, and so in
turn became benefactors. From re-
counting their individual blessings and
offering prayer and praise for their be-
stowal, It was but q step to the turn
ing point of charity In themselves
And SO we may cry to all upon this day
-Rejoicel for the lion and the lamt
have lain down together and the peace
of the Saviour's spirit is over all. The
cry of want is heard by ears that be
fore were deaf to the voice of pleading
and eyes that saw not misery except il
were afar off are now dimmed will
tears of pity for those about their feet
Thanksgiving! The word has come t.
have glorious meaning. 1t is the
softening influences of such seasons
albeit all too brief, that keep intact the
under current, the real harmony O.
the world, even though its surface b.
always troubled by discord.
