The Opposition Candidate.

The nomination of Dr. Duncan for
mayor by the mass meeting last night
is the strongest the meeting could have
made. The nominee is "a popular man.
and his popularity is not confined to any
class of people Like Mr.. Myers, the nom
inee of the Citizens Club, he has had
great deal of experience in the affairs
of the city, having been a member of the
city council a number of years prior to the
Inauguration of the present administers
ton. His course in council had the ap-
prevail of the people because he aimed to
promote the city's welfare and the public
good.
DR.. Duncan's letter of acceptance will
be eagerly looked for, because it is ex-
pected that he will, in a general way, out
line what his policy would be if he should
be elected. There are several vitality i'm
portant matters with which the next adj
ministraton will have to deal, and the
people would like to know the attitude
of the mayoralty candidates in respect to
them. Mr.. Myers has stated his purposes,
and DR.. Duncan doubtless will have a
communication 10 make TO the pubic at
the proper time.
There is naturally now a deep interest
felt in the aldermanic tickets. good
board of aldermen contributes largely
to the success of an administration. With
out a council composed OF capable and ear
nest men, devoted to the public good, no
mayor can make his administration a sue
cess, however well qualified he may be for
his position

An Interestine Queation.

The New York papers are anxious to
know what bank examiner is good for
He seems to be lacking in some very inn
portant particulars. He is supposed to
find out exactly what the condition of a
bank is, but how often does he succeed
in doing so? As a matter of fact, 1t is
doubtful if many of the bank examiners
are fitted for the duties required of them,
and it is not improbable that some of
those who are competent are negligent,
careless and indolent. They don't like to
do the work that is necessary to be done
to find out whether or not a banks at
fairs are all right. They accept the face
of the books and the statements of the
officers of the bank as satisfactory evil
dence of what they are expected to find
out
How is it that the bank examiner who
ov7r'ired eve ana'~e Of tho Shoe ard
Leather Bank of New York discovered
uoJu.us OF The defaication of $3J4. 900? And
that bank was being systematically robbed
for ten years. A new man, stranger in
the bank, discovered the defalcation with
in an hour after he took hold of the de-
faulter's books. Is not that sufficient
evidence that the bank examiner was
either negligent or incompetent?
1t is about time that bank examiners
were given thorough overhauling and
the law controlling them made more strin-
gent. If it is shown they are incompetent
they should be dismissed without cere-
mony, and If negligent and indolent they
should be severely punished when they re-
port as all right a bank that has been or
is being robbed, or whose affairs show
1t is being mismanaged.

THANKSGIVING.


Notwithstanding the lamentations Of pro-
fessional mourners for the degeneracy of
the times. and the groans of the political
hypocondriacs, all Of those who are able
to sit down. with a good appetite, to a
Thanksgiving dinner in this year Of our
Lord, 1884. have cause for gratitude and
elf-congratulations The world is better
and brighter on this Thanksgiving day
than it ever was before. despite the low
price Of cotton and the republican vic
tory, and men and women are better quail
flied TO enjoy the benefactions Of a boun-
tiful providence than they were even a
twe1yemonths ago. The evolution Of the
world and men and women is constantly
towards something higher. Each year
has its lessons that broaden and add polish
to the mind, and each generation is an i'm
provement upon its predecessor, despite
the often-heard assertion that the max
ing Of biscuits or bUckwheat cakes like
grandmother's" is a lost art. Grand
mother never knew the delights Of such
culinary achievements as are now common
in almost every kitchen. The explanation
/
cooking is the fact that when grand
mothers" cakes were being eaten, the
eater knew nothing of lobster salad, foie-
gras and the other grand dishes that are
withheld from youth for the digeston's
sake
Besides enjoying the best Of food-far
better than great-great-grand father ever
sat down to on a Thanksgiving day, after
shooting and lodging with the Indians on
his way to and from church-the 1894 man
has conveniences that the old-timer never
dreamed of, and is waited upon after
fashion that would have made the old fell
low ashamed of himself. The most trivial
want is provided for in personal as well as
household affairs. If you are thirsty, you
touch a button and the desired moisture
comes in a bell-shaped glass as thin and
fragile as an egg-sheH. Great-great-grand
father very often used to go after it him
self and frequently poured it from
stone jug into a gourd. If truck is wanted
from the market gardeners, a verbal or
der will keep the supply constant, fresh,
and prompt, as long as the bills are paid.
The honored ancestor had to dig, or look
after the digging for all the garden sass
that was got If oysters, or ice cream, or
a ton of COAL or paper of pins are de-
sired, just speak the word into the tele-
phone and they are delivered promptly at
the hour they are wanted. Only pay the
bills, and luxury is within reach.
The 1894 mans money, too, will buy
more than would similar amount in the
years gone by. The development of manu-
features, and labor saving apparatus on
the farms, have reduced the prices Of the
necessaries of life until to-day more peo-
pie are INDUCING in the luxuries of life
than was probably ever the case before.
In the south where the disastrous war
swept out all that partook of the nature of
luxury in living, there are probably
greater number of people to-day living in
easy circumstances-not in aff1uence-than
there were before the war. And each sue
ceeding Thanksgiving will find the num-
Der greater and their condition better,

Ballot Reform in the south.
From the New York Times Dem


The backwardness of the southern
states in this respect Is easy TO under

bauched in that part of the country twenty

He Was Not Walking.

A confederate soldier, after the battle
of Antietam, and when his regiment was
on the retreat, threw his musket on the
ground, seated himself by the road side
according to War Relics, and exclaimed
with much Vchemence
TN be dashed if l walk another step!
I'm broke down! / can't do it," And he sat
there the picture of despair.
Cit up, mani exclaimed the captain,
don't you know the yankees are following
us? They will get you sure"
Cant do it!' he replied I'm done for.
I'll not walk another step"
The confederates passed along over the
crest of hin and lost sight of their poor
detected comrade.
In a moment there was a fresh rattle Of
musketry and renewed crash of shells.
Suddenly he appeared on the crest Of the
hill moving along like hurricane and fol-
lowed by a cloud of dust. As he dashed
past his captain that officer yelled:
Hello! thought you wasn't going to
walk any more?'
Thunder" replied the soldier, you
don't cali this walking, do you?"

The Nicaraguan war scare comes at an
opportune time to aid the promoters of
the great canal project in getting the ear
of the congress. 1t may naturally be
counted on to work upon the patriotism
of the members; especially the lingo ele-
ment who are forever seeking an oppor-
tunity to step on the British lions tail.
Congress will assemble next week. which
will be in just about the proper time for
the members to realize what a stupendous
mistake it would be for this country to
permit England to get more of a foot
hold on this continent than she already
has. The prospects, therefore, are that
for some days there will be quite as much
talk about the Monroe doctrine as of the
doctrines of protection, free trade and a
double standard for money.

medium of intellectual, business and polit-

What a Short Session Did.
From the New York Post Qnd)

The coming session is the short one. and
1t is a common complaint that nothing
can be done at a short session. But so
was it short session-that of 1S82-S3-at
which the present civil service law was
passed. Political conditions in the coun-
try at large were not unlike those prevail
ing now The republicans who were then
going out of power were shrewd enough
to see where they could strike a blow for
good government and for their own ben

The wheat growers of Kansas, for about
the tenth consecutive annual time, say
they are discouraged because of the poor
yield of the wheat crop and the low price
of grain; yet, like the cotton growers of
the southern states, they will probably
try to recoup themselves for their losses
by increasing their acreage next year.

The New York Tribune says: NO demo-
cratic member of congress will tell what
his party proposes to do at the forthcoming
session of that body, for the reason, evil
IDENTIFY, that no one knows" And for the
same reason nobody-not even the Tri-
bune-will tell what the republican mem
bers of the Fifty-fourth congress propose
TO do at the forthcoming sessions of that
body. There have been numerous guesses
as to what will be done by each party, but
nobody authorized to speak has spoken.
The fact is, it is much more likely that
both the short session of the Fifty-third
congress and the fun term of the Fifty
fourth congress will be distinguished by
the things they leave undone rather than
the things they do.
