The starving cloakmakers of New York
city believe they are fighting for prin-
ciple, and the cause has ennobled them.
1t is truly an inspiring sight to see men
hungry, in need of the very necessities of
life, making such a united, self sacrificing
struggle for what they believe to be their
rights. There is considerable doubt as to
the wisdom of the strike and their de-
mands may seem unreasonable under the
circumstances but their determination is
admirable even if deplorable.

way SO good is afforded to this emu as

school rooms of the smaller places. That
it has been neglected so long ought to

The death of DR.. James McCosh, Fri
day night, removes one of the most fam
Gus educators and writers of philosophical
works of the present century. He was
born in Carskeoch, Scotland, in 1911.
The foundations of his great learning
were laid at the university of Glasgow,
University from 1929 to 1884. The fol
lowing year he was ordained a minister of
the church of Scotland, and seven years
later took active part in organizing the
free church of Scotland. He began his
philosophical writings in 1885 while
pastor at Brechin, his first work being
"Method of the Divine Government,
Physical and Moral" For IS years DR..
McCosh was professor of logic and meta
physics in Queens College, Belfast, and
here he established his reputation as
writer on metaphysics in that great work
''Intuitions of the Mind Inductively In
vcstigatcd" He was elected president of
the college of New Jersey at Princeton in
1868 and under his administration the in
stitution assumed rank among the first
colleges of this country. His resignation
from this office which he had so success
fully filled took effect in 1888. In 1886 he
completed the philosophical series begun
in 1882, work that stands among the
highest. The purpose of his later philos-
optical writings appears to have been to
formulate an American philosophy of
realism. He was "a man of commanding
presence, unusual vigor, revered by those
who had sat under his teachings and knew

BY the President

The American people gratefully render
thanksgiving and praise to the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe who has watched over them
with kindness and fostering care during the
year that has passed
They should also with humility and faith
suplicate the Father of all Mercies for contin-
ued blessing according to their needs and

Therefore, /, Grover Cleveland, President OF

kept and observed by all the people OF the
land.
On that day let our ordinary work and bus
mess be suspended and let us meet in our ac-
customcd places of worship and give thanks to
Almighty God for our preserv alton as nation,
for our immunity from disease and pestilence,
for the harvests that have rewarded our hus-
bandry, for n renewal of national prosperity,
and for every advance in virtue and intelll-
gence that has marked our growth as people.
And with our Thanksgiving let us pray that
these blessings may be multiplied unto us,
that our national conscience may be quicken
ed to a better recognition of the power and
goodness of God, and that in our national
life we may clearer see and closer follow the
path of righteousness.

proof of the sincerity of our thanksgiving

The peaceful Inauguration of the emf
nent lawyer and publicist, Moraes, as
president of Brazil, lends new courage to
those who have the best interests of that
great country of vast resources at heart
1t has all along been claimed by the
revolutionists and those opposed to the
government under Peixoto that the latter
would prevent Moraes from taking his
seat. This claim obtained all the more
credence from the fact that Peixoto is a
military man and the military arm of
the government is its strongest Many
of the BraZilians are uneducated and by
temperament and prejudice are more
easily influenced by the pomp and splen-
dor of the military and are more in need
of its use in governing than could be
wished. Upon it Moraes will be obliged
to rely in great degree. He is the first
president of the republic chosen by the
people and from his well known high
character it is hoped by all wishing a
reign of good government in that country
that he will be permitted to perform the
duties of his high office untrammeled by
the many adverse influences which have
been so prominent in the past few years.

Yankee with an ingenious turn of mind
rather than experience as trapper, pro-
poses to make his everlasting fortune trap
D ing foxes after the following interesting
method: The trap is to be placed under
water near the shore of some stream or
swamp pool, the approach to the place
having been made through the water
with rubber boots. The trap is placed
between some small tussock of grass and
the shore. On this little island is placed
a new bait for foxes. 1t is an odoriferous
preparation that smells to the human
sense more like rotten cat than anything
else, but nevertheless fills Reynard's con-
ception of the delicious. Just over the
trap bunch of grass is fastened in the
water, making false tussock. Attracted
by the smell the fox comes to the edges
of the water. He puts a paw on the false
tussock to step over to the real tussock
and down comes the paw into the trap

1t is perhaps well to have the question
of legislation for the protection of our fish
and game so vigorously discussed prior
to the meeting of the lawmakers, for there
are differences of opinion regarding this
question. Some say the present laws
are sufficient Others that the laws are all
right but that more money should be ap-
propriated to enforce them. Some pro-
pose legislation forbidding the killing of
female moose, others reply that there is
large surplus of female moose as the
bull is the only one which responds to the
hunters call, also that when hunter
sees herd of deer he shoots the buck in
stead of the does. No one attempts to tell
us how often the hunter has the oppor-
tunity of making such careful selection.
Again some advocate a law forbidding
the killing of deer in the water,a prohibi-
ton that would certainly, if enforced do
away with much dogging of deer. Let
the discussion go on.

The State Bank tax.

Atlanta Journal,
The Washington correspondent
of the Louisville Courier-Jou
who is both well informed and. re-
liable. says that the movement for
the repeal Of the State bank tax
has gained much strength in Con-
gress recently. A careful count
shows that one hundred and forty
votes can be relied on for uncon-
ditional repeal.
It has been agreed that an
amendment repealing the bank
tax shall be offered to The Brawley
bill and that vote on the bid in
that shape shall be demanded
within the next few days. The
friends of repeal are confident that
they have strength enough to take
mp the bill this week and to pass
it in short order.

Early Use of the Word "Stril1e.' p

Notes and Queries.
An early use of the word'strike"
occurs in the London Chronicle for
1865. In the Sept. number of that
wear are numerous references to a
great suspension of labor in the
northern coalfeld, and the colliers
are stated to have "struck out" for
a higher bounty before entering
into their usual yearly "bonds." j"
In confirmation of Mr.. Leaton-
Blenkinsopp's statement at the
last reference, it may be added
that tbs strike is twice called a
"stick," (London Chronicle, Oct
8, 1O.)

capital must be decentralized and
a fiscal agency established in each
State to facilitate commerce and
encourage revival of industries.
There are factions and conflicts
of opinion in the national democ-
racy, there is a lack of harmony
and united action in Congress.
There is division in the democracy
of South Carolina. Conservatives,
reformers, third partyitee or popu-
lists, all are democrats and stand
together in national contest. Any
club formed in this State is eligi-
BILE to membership in the national
association of democratic clubs of
which ex. Governor Black is presi-
dent, because they are all demo-
Gratis differing only on some ques-
tions. Parties are necessary in all
governments, monarchical, aristo-
cratic or republican. One party is
a check on another, thus giving the
people the best government.
The reformers supporting the
farmers movement in South Caro-
lima are the bone and sinew of the
country. The supporters of
Tillman constitute the bulwark
and defence of the State. The
only enemy to good government in
the State is the republican or fed
eralist party, the party that has
brought calamity upon the people
whenever in power. This is the
party which is not eligible to men,
bership in the great democratic
family, and is not worthy to be as
sociated in the great national as
sociation of democratic clubs or
ganized to promote good geveru-
ment.

Nyum-Nyum, Bow-WO'v.


Everybody knows the story of
the Englishman who, dining with
Manderin, desired to know what
meat he was eating. He pointed to
the dish and said, interrogatively,
"Quack-quack?" His host shook
his head and answered, with the
politest of smiles. "Bow-wow."
And there you have the language
in its simplest elements.
AS yet, however, it possesses no
syntax, no order, no formative
principles. Now push the thing
one stage further. Let us make a
verb, to eat. The simplest way of
doing this is to initiate the sound of
the teeth in grinding-especially
in grindind hard grain, like corn
or coarse roots and foodstuffs.
ny'm, ny'm, or nyum, nyum,
nyum, is as about as near as we
can get to it in ordinary letters.
(The Italian gum gn'm, or the
Spanish nm, nm, would repre-
sent it more accurately Hence
nyum-nyum is common symbol
for "to eat" with savages.
Now ask with an interrogative
infection of voice., "Nyum-nyum
quack-quack?" that means,
cam 1 eating duck?" The answer
comes, with a shake of the head.
"Nyum-nyum bow-wow'-and
that means, "Oh, dear, no; it is
dog YOU are eating" True, the
grammatical elements of first and
second person are here suppressed
but so they are in many primitive
languages, and so they are even in
the negro dialets of French and
English. lenses and persons are
frequently lost. Him gwine town
means "Re is going to town" in ne
gro English. Him eat means he is
eating ''ete," go Oil generally. II
have eaten" becomes in Creale
French, "Mol finn mango" that is
to say, "J'al finl hanger" erich
niger, him mulatto; poor mulatto
him Niger" gives the simple,
grammar of negro English; in
CroeleFrench, where al" means
lul." it comes out in the paecisely
analogous from, 'Negue richie.
il mulatte; mulatte pauvre. ii
negue." That is grammar reduced
to it's simplest elements.
Now, to carry tho process one
step further. You see the remains
of ducA lying on the ground in
the neighborbood of your COM
pound, and you wish to know what
has happened to it. You ask a
savage bystander, "Bow-wow
nyum-nyum quack-quack?" That
is to say, elias a dog eaten my
duck" The savage shakes his
head, pats his own round stomach,
and answers, with gusto, "Nyum-
nyum quack-quack." That means,
II have eaten it"

Composition on Sawmills.

Sawmills is very useful. If it
was not for sawmills we wouldn't
have no sawdust for to stuff our
dolls. If I was a doll I would
rather die than be stuffed with
straw. Straw is very ticklesome
when you haint got anything else
on yours inside. I know a good
deal more about sawmills, but my
