OUR AMERICAN THANKsGTyING.

There are holidays and holidays.
Christmas and New Years are cosmo-
politan-are the property of no psrti-
culsr people, but yet are joycusly OBJ
served by many. But Thanksgiving is
purely an American holiday, original
in conception and growing from a small
beginning until it has reached the dig
nifty OF national event. It's first cele-
bration was by the Plymouth colony in
1621-those sturdy pioneers whose
piety was as prominent as their pluck,
who honored themselves by honoring
their diety. The custom soon became
more general, spreading over all the
New England states. After the Fevolu-
ton it gradually extended to the mid
die states and later to the west, grow
ing more slowly in the south. In 1853
the patriotic Lincoln forever estab-
lished it in the list Of holidays by pro-
claiming a day of Thanksgiving, his &C
ton being promptly followed by the
individual proclsmations Of the gov
errors of the states, who named the
same day. Since then, by common
consent, the first announcement of the
day is found in the presidents procla-
nation, and the day so named is also
named by the states.
In many ways Thanksgiving is one Of
our most delightful events. 1t comes
at time when the rigors of winter are
not yet at hand. We have at our dis
possi all the varied products of the
soil, and the time for a season Of par
tial rest for the farmer is at hand. One
of its most delightful features, which
has become quite general, is the gath
ering together under the old rooftree
of all the scattered SONS and daughters
on this day. Two, three and sometimes
four generations thus meet around
the festive and hospitable table Of the
old homestead, and thus fraternal ties
are strengthened and filial piety en-
couragsd.
Another and not less Commendsble
feature Of this holiday is practical be-
nevolence which has become very no.
table. Poor people to whom a good
dinner is a rarity. are hunted out, and
in an transformations way are helped
to properly observe the day, so far as
its festive features are concerned. The
sick and suffering are remembered in
various ways. The homeless are, for
the day, made members Of some hospi-
table household, where they can join
in its pleasures. Altogether, this is
perhaps its best feature. There is no
pleasure so lasting, none which affords
such real joy, as that which comes to
US from the knowledge that We have
done real kindness to some of the
suffering children Of earth-in some
way alleVisted their SORROWS or eased
their pains.
Last, but not least, the devotion
spirit which is the impelling motive OF
the day, is encouraged and developed.
we learn to be more contented with
our lot, thankful for what We have and
hopeful for the future.

FINANCTAL ENsLAYRMENr

The bankers through congress en-
nance the value of the dollar and thus
increase national, corporate, municipal
and individual indebtedness, millions
upon millions of dollars. The govern
ment sold bonds and accepted dspreci-
ated money for them, and than vOlun-
tarily agreed to pay them in gold, add
ing many millions more to the debt
than the people ever received when it
was contracted. Taxes are high and
generally increasing. Government is
needlessly expensive and our politici-
ans are extraysgant in the expenditure
of the peoples money, and the result is
that the nation and our industries are
greaning under 8 mountain OF debt.

come On to pay interest and debt and
follow their fathers to the churohysrd

have not only permitted ourselves to
be chained by the financial jugglers
of the age. but We have allowed them
to ensisve pcsterity, and Jet the best
that We have been able to do so far in
the way Of remonstrance-it it has
been Temonstrsnce-is to shut both
eyes and rush, like landslide in the
Cascade mountains, from one party to
the other. It begins to lock very much
as if the American people needed a
conservator. As this seems to be an
age Of inJunctions, perhaps somebody
had better ask the court to enioin us
from making fools Of ourselves upon
the slightest ProEecation.

While out riding in surrey Sunday
Mr.. NJ. T. Grier, Mr.. o. Greenough,
Miss FloZa Liston and Miss Stella
SWarts had a narrow escape from a
serious accident. The horses became
frightened and attempted to run away,
breaking the pole, which caused the
vehicle to sway from side to side in an
alarming manner. The baseball muscle
and steady nerves Of Mr.. GFier, how
ever, came to the front and soon con-
quered the frightened animals before
they did further damage.
Last Saturday evening few friends
called on Mr.. Thomas P. Leonard and
saw him safely past the 45th milestone
Of life. A nice supper was served to
the guests who wished him many re-
turns of the day. The following is &
list of the guests: Mr.. and Mrs. ThralI,

A tough-looking young gent with a
layendar- colored dog at his heels was
around town Monday with a subscrip-
ton paper, which stated that he would
give an open-air entertainment of tight
rope walking, hippOdrome races, tum-
bling and other difficult feats. Quite
a large amount of money was subscrib-
ed and the show opened at 2 o'clock to
fairly large audience. The show be-
gan by talk by the tough young man
who had donned a dilapidated suit of
pink tights, telling what he was going
to do as soon as he took up another
small collection, made another $40 talk,
took up another collection, made an
other talk, let the dog run race with
a man, and the show ended with the
tough young man giving another talk
on what his wife and dog would do on
the tight rope Tuesday. This was the
last seen of the young man and, also of
the money subscribed. The next fakir
that comes along will receive a frosty
reception.

One Of the most important measures
of the last session of congress was a
bill, which became Law. alIotting to
some Of the western states certain arid
lands within their limits, on the eondi-
ton that such lands shall be improved
by irrigation. 1t is estimated that
there is more than million square
miles Of land that may be made fit for
cultivation when irrigated, but which
is practically worthless now. It is not
likely that the western states will I'M
dertake this work. 1t is far marc prob
able that the federal government will
be called to aid in providing irrigation.
Powerful Hobbies, both in state and ma
tionsl capitals, will be organized to Sc
cure the expenditure of state or fed
eral money, and after the work is done
ths lands can probably be sold for
more than enough to repay the ex-
pense. Yet we are sure that this is a
scheme which the federal government
cannot entertain without injustice to
older sections of the country. Free
virgin soil Of the west has been COM
peting with the products of eastern
farms. How much more fierce viii this
competition be if irrigation is to be
provided at government expense? We
nave in the lands now under cultiva-
ton al the food-producing capacity
that this country viii need for many
years to come.

THE British government is testing a
new plan for signaling at sea, which
has already yielded remarkable results.
It consists merely of an ordinary gong
fastened to the bow of the ship below
water line. This acts as a tFansmitter,
and the receivers are gOngs of exactly
similar tone and rate of vibration, one
on each side of the ship below the
water line. The receiving gong will take
up and reproduce the sound Of the
sending gong from a long distance.
Signals have already been clearly trans
mitted ten miles.

II is announced that ships loaded
with wheat from the Argentine Re-
public and with barley from Russia
are on their way to New York, and this
bit Of news has been made the basis of
predictions that the United States is
to become an extensive importer of
grain. However, it appears that wheat
has been brought into this country for
many years previously and that the i'm
portations do not prevent the exports
of large quantities also. In 1892 the
exports of wheat were about 10 times
the imports. Still it cannot be denied
that a very short wheat crop would
compel the United States to seek else
where for part of the wheat supply
It may not be many years before our
fast increasing population may find it
necessary to import q considerable
part Of their grain in years when the
crop falls below the average. In that
event the grain brought in would
doubtless be mostly the cheap South
American wheat which could be used
for feeding purposes, while our growers
would still continue to export the
choice, hard wheat Of the northwest.
Our own cheap grades of wheat are
likely to be exported in constantly de-
creasing quantities, as the home de-
mand increases, and as the farmers
come to use wheat more and more ex-
tensively for feeding farm stock and
beef cattle.

THIS new issue of bonds is apparent
ly no more needed than wart on a
mans nose. Wall street is anxious for
it so as to relieve the New York banks
Of some of their gold and enable them
to shove up interest rates, but many Of
the wisest and most patriotic fnanciers
outside of the metropolis declare that
it is wholly unnecessary. The farmers
Of the country have an important in,

posed to pay on them during the next

Probably Kansas and Nebraska have
given more attention than any of the
other central western states TO what
may be called pump irrigation. This
topic will be discussed more freely
than ever at the meeting of irrigation
associations, farmers clubs, etc, this
coming winter. Upon this practice de-
ponds much Of future success in gar
dening in not only Kansas and Neb-
raska, but the Dakotas, Iowa, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Illinois and Missouri,
as drouth nearly every season serious

states. The experiences Of '94 will be

Two years ago irrigation in western
Kansas was at best doubtful expert
ment. Where there was one man with
faith in it there we're a thousand who
we're convinced Of its impracticsbility.
Today irrigation is an absolute demon

by theoretical criticism but By actual
experiment by farmers in more than 20
counties In the dFyest year in the
memory Of old Kansans. The day for
