ing. This is what New York paper says of
the game there:
The difficulty with billiards to-day in this
country, or certainly in this city, Is that as
business pure and simple it is practIca Ily no
longer sef-Sustaning. We do not wish TO refer
to the game everywhere in this country as be-
ing such. not being familiar with the actual
facts as they exist in other cities. AS this CITY
however, contains about million and a quar-
ter OF inhabitants there is clearly something
radically wrong when such a city supports less
than half score of legitimate biliard-rooms
"A quarter OF i century ago. or when this
city had but little more than half OF its present
population, there were probably two prominent
or legitimate billlard-rooms here TO the one
that exists at the present day, while II must be
confessed or Conceded that the room-keepeTs of
quarter of century ago were making dollars
then where the rOOmkeeperS Of to-day are not
even making cents. This may seem like an
eXaggeratinn, but we know of two rooms in
this city which in the aggregate contain eight
cen tables and which recently in one day did a
business of but As cents"

FRIDAY MORNING, =
NOV. %, 1894.
THANKSGIVING.

President Cleveland has set apart
next Thursday, November 30, las day
of Thanksgiving and prayer, and his
example has been followed by The gov
ernors of all the States. Considering
the fact that the last Thursday in Nov
ember has, by common consent, been
celebrated as Thanksgiving Day ever
since the days of George Washington,
these proclamations of our Chief
Magistrates remind one of the practice
on shiphoard where, when the officer
of the watch reports to the captain
that it is eight bells, or four o'clock,
that functionary replies. Make it So"
While the day was first set apart to
return thanks for our tleliverance
from the tyranny of Great Britain
and our establishment us one OF the
nations of the earth, We have contin-
ued to celebrate it annually ever
since with but little reference to its
original object and have never failed
to find each year many things to be
thankful for. Our country has not
prospered greatly during the past
year,it is true, but since the much vex-
ed tariff question has been settled in
dustry has received a new impetus
and the present prospect is that bust
ness will soon be quite brisk. Crops
have not been as heavy as in some
years, but there is plenty to live on
and some to spare. In fact, we may
regard it as blessing that the har-
vest was not fuller, for heavy yield
would have sent the already depressed
markets still lower The country has
been visited by no pestilence or Sc
rious epidemic and we are at peace
with the whole earth. We should all
find abundant cause for thanksgiving
in the increased bodily comfort which
the discoveries of modern science have
secured to us and which is daily be-
ing added to. AS our material we'll
being is being increased, SO is the
cause of morality and virtue being
advanced, which is shown by the ex-
posure of the corruptness of the gov
ernments of some of our large cities
and the general disposition of the
people to resent all manner of double
dealing and sham. A strike, which at
one time almost threatened to convulse
our country in civil war, has subsidized
and that with a surprisingly small
amount of bloodshed. Let no man,
therefore, think he has no cause to be
thankful, but rather let him next
Thursday, at his accustomed place of
workshop, or if impossible attend
church, while pursuing his usual avo-
cations return hearty thanks to the
Almighty for the favors above emu
merated; for the personal advantages
which he has enjoyed, in fact, for
his creation, preservation and all the
blessing of this life; for the means of
grace and the hope of glory"

MR. EDITOR: There is a rumor that some
persons are endeavoring to get the Democrat
ic Executive Committee of Hartford county
to change the present mode of nominations
in the county, to overthrow the will of the
people, as expressed at the ballot box. The
present mode, known as the Crawford county
system, was adoped by majority of the vot-
ers of the Democratic party on two different
occasions, and therefore the Executive Com
mittee have no right to change the mode of
nominations without submitting the question
to the voters of the party. Who are the Exc
cutive Committee? They are but the servants
of the people. The sovereign people do the
voting, and we warn the Executive Committee
that if they assume autocratic power and
change the present fair. honest and popular
system, and adopt the old corrupt convention
system, and proceed to nominate set of can
didates, in whose selection the sovereign vot-
ers had no voice, then the Democratic party
in 1895 will go to certain and overwhelming
defeat The election of 1858 would be as a
summer zephyr, in comparison TO a cyclone in
1895, not one candidate on the Democratic
ticket could be elected. The present Craw-
ford county system is an honest, fair express
sion of the will of the people. Ithas given en-
tire satisfaction to large majority of the party,
and must remain as is. The main cause of the
late defeat of the party was the disgust of the
Democrats at the traitorous action of the Sen
ate, in legislating in favor of trusts and mo-
nopolies. 1.-THE Democrats in the next session
of Congress VIA have the courage to pass the
supplemental bill, putting sugar, coal, iron
and all raw materials on the free list, and the
Democrats of Hartford nominate clean, honest,
antimachine men, then the county will go
Democratic by at least 500 majority, but the
Executive Committee must not tamper with
the peoples rights, for the people are in no
humor to be tempered with.
