indeed, there were, 10 fully blessed with
that they have been taking IL all as a
matter of course, and see nothing that
calls for special gratitude.
Everybody has reason for giving thanks
Those that have plenty may be grateful fui
having the opportunity to help those who
have nothing. and for being thus able to revel
In the realization Of the saying, that it Is
better to give than to receive. They who
are poor may thank heaven that they are
not exposed to the temptations which
wealth entails, nor yet the cares which
the possession OF 1t brings with it. The
strong In body have good cause for thank
fulness because OF that fact; thuse that
are weak or i'll, because there are others
in even worse condition than themselves.
The gay and the sorrnwful, the healthy and
the sick, rich and poor, all can find SOME
reason for thanksgiving.
If everything fails, try to make others
give thanks Go into the places of the
pour, where want holds sway, and by
easing their lot, IL only for this one day,
make them grateful. Seek out the afflicted
and bring them comfort, il it only be that
which kind word gives. Approach those
that are chained to beds nf pain and disease
and let the sunshine OF sympathy brighten
the darkness of their fate. Each and all
of these acts Will make You thankful that
You performed them, and fill with graft
t,ide the hearts of those whom you cheered.
Why not give thanks?

the initial issue of The Time about
ewenty months ago created TO more than
passing notice from its contemporaries, WHO
acknowledged new journalistic youth

grave where are buried somauy unfortunate

years
But these contemporaries have seen the
error of llieir earlier Judgment and have
substituted methods OF warfare rs vigorous
as their feeble aud fossiliZed organisms

No more conclusive evidence OF the recog-
uition by these newspapers Of tie strength
OF The Times can be offered ttan the
fact that certain prominent advertisers
have been able to contract for space In

A BLOW AT THE RING.

Real estate spectators and those private
individuals with large land holdings near
Washington very naturally realize that
Gov. Shepherds interview in The Times
yesterday morning was hard blow at their
scheme to put city Taxpayers in debt for
the Improvement of suburban property.
Gov. Shepherd speaks with the authority
of une who has, more than any other man
or set of men, contributed to the greatness
of modern Washington. He knows where
of be speaks, and his opinion will out weigh
any amount of glitterhg gush which the
bond bill ring may use to draw attention
away from It's own selfish ends.
This suburban property, in its present
condition, says Gov. Shepherd, will suf-
flee for a normal increase of population for
a iaf century hence. This is hard augury
for the real estate ring, bat it is clearly
favorable to the men who furnish the bone
and sinew of the District revcuues-the
Taxpayers of the city OF Washington.
The Times does not assume that the
ajority of these taxpayers are against
reasonable plan for the extension of main
streets, and 1t Is quite sure that they favor
a new sewerage system. But The Times
does assume that holders of city property
do not care to pay for enhancing the value
of suburban property, with its consequent
effect OF drawing home-seekers from the
city. Such improvements are in themselves
entirely unobjectionable, but they should
be paid for by the men who viii be
benefited thereby.
The real estate boomers elsewhere would
be laughed at were they to ask city to
improve their Subdivisions in order mat
lots might sell at higher prices, and yet
that is, in short, Just what the bond bin
ring is attempting to accomplish by the
"rIdcr."
The Times ballot boxes will be open
next Monday. Get ready to speak your
mind.

Future Gas Legislation.

Editor Times: Upon tue question of how
To l;u aDuut tn denver ourselves lrom eN-
tortiunate gas charges tn ere is need Tor very
plain speaking.
IlI'l'-, dollar bill fail Of enact
mcnt in the last Congress? 1t passed the
House or Representatives On April 10. 1894.
IL went 10 the Senate, and un April : it
was referred to the Committee on the Dis
trict, aid by that committee I" the sub
committee, consisting OF Senators Faux
herShUutou, and Mcmillan. These arc the
individuals who stood between the gas
consumers OF the District and tire realiZ (
ton at their desires. From the 9TH day
Inal adjournment, this sui -ctiinmittee he'd
the bill. under n prctrnse of further in
yestigation,' and finally killed it by an
adverse report tu the full committee. which
never allowed the bill to come tp i vote in
the senate.
Let us Look the matter squarely in the
face The obstacle the people have to
overcome before the grip OF the gas
MONOPOLY can be loosed is a hostile Senate
subcommittee IN the District of Columbia.
The present oAnJees the matter with gas
company eyes only. They & are 80 ainenabie o.,
Senator ingalls,, that they are relied upon
to prevent, ...unlrfendly'' legislation against
the monopoly.
Is the influence occult" I think not.
If Senator Mcmillan is as popularly rrder-
stood, the principal owner of the Detroit
Gas Combine, and II, as has been publicly
asserted, the other two members OF the
Senate subcommittee have sons in the
employ of the Washington Gas Company,
there IS nothIng obscure in the influence
that moves the subcommittee to turn the
people down.
FOrewarned is furearmed. These are the
legislators into whose hands is committed
the proposition for cheaper artificial Light
in the District of Columbia. 1t is reason
able for US to anticipate anything else
than defeat.
Do we sufficiently realize what amount
of money we annually pay the gas cutn-
paDy for duia rand -a-qua rtrr gas over
and above the price at which gas could be
profitabIy furnished? Bytheconpany's suwn
showing the amount is nearly $500 coo a
year. A goodly sum, indeed.
l.l tIt-'r ~ a"y CnaDs.:' III the coinpoSi-
ton OF the Senate committee on tue Dis
trict? And If there is, will the president
~" '-s.s t''i.r.t.tty ''tikp n haBd Of fate"
by giving employment tn CONS of its mem
bers, or otherwise?
We see how much easier it is for the gas
company tu Influence the Senate sub-coin-
mittee than to waste effort on the larger
House subcommittee, which is not nearly
SO likely tn get the full House committee
to accept its cunclusions. The dernirr re-
sort of the people is q public outcry and
clamor, tbGt viii force the placing of men nn
these committees, who are not amenIbie
to gas Company blG lGndisbIBents, and who
may be depended on to 6ntagoniZe the
schemes of this chief of our rnonopoiics.

MAKE MR.. REED UNDERSTAND

MAKE Mr.. REED UNDERSTAND.
The proposed mass meeting of the citi-
zens of the District which is TO give ex-
preston TO their views and wishes re-
specting the composition of the House
District Committee to be appointed by
Speaker Reed, is an enincDtly proper and
timely move. 1t is the only way in which
our people can make known their scnti-
ments upon question which concerns
almost every personal and property inter
est of theirs. Nor need there be the least
doubt that any petition or resolution en-
anating from such q committee in proper
form would have Mr.. Reeds careful and
considerate attention.
1t is fortunate that Mr. Reed is gener-
ally believed to be in favor OF just such
committee as the people OF the District
would most probably desire to see appoint
ed. 1t will be a happy coincidence if both
he and they shall agree that. in the first
place, all questions OF politics should be
eliminated in its selection; that men should
be put upon it who are known to be in har-
niony with the spirit OF the understand
ing that the United States is to bear a
proper share of the expenses of the Dis
trict government, and also with the spirit
of Improvement which is to make the Cap
itai of the Nation the pride of every Amer
ican citizen; third, that men should be.
selected who are above suspicion of job
berry, and, last, but most Important OF all,
that the members should be willing 10 work
hard.
These are the essentials: all others are
but secondary considerations. 1t would
be most deplorable to haveany more happy
go-lucky legislation, for there has been
enough of that sort. Matters of great mo-
ment to the people OF the District viii
come before the committee during the i'm
pending session-matters that have bear
Ing not only upon the present, but upon
the future prosperity and comfort of every
resident and of the whole community.
These should be dealt with intelligenly,
honestly and in a progressive ard liberal
spirit. Only those that can do so are fit
members of the House Committee on the
District of Columbia.

THE PEACE OF EUROPE.

The Sulians firman granting the sigma
tory Powers tn the treaty of Paris permis-
sion for an additional war vessel to pass
through the Dardanelles and come up to
Constantiuuple for the better protection
of the Christian population of the
city, relieves the European situation
at least temporarily of a considerable strain.
Had the requested permit been withheld
there is little doubt but that the Powers
now has been accorded them, even though
reluctantly.
Although an Immediately threatening Con-
ditlon has been thus removed, 1t is too
much to hope that new complications viii
not arise before long. For Instance. the ap-
pointment of a Christiau-hating fanatic
as comma ndant of Constantinople proves
that the Sultan is not sincere in his protes-
tations of anxiety to restore order and give
his Christian subjects equal protection
with oseufthe Mohammedanf faith. More
over, the more recent and detailed ac-
counts Of the massacres nf Harpoot and
other places In Turkish Asia show con-
cinsiveiy that these were not UndertaBsn
without the tacit consent aud appreciation
of the government.
Once again the Eastern question has
reached an acute stage for the peace of
Europe, for however anxious Ill the Great
Powers may be to preserve it, so slender
is the foundation upon which 1t rests that
tho torch pf disrnrTl Ijp hfefi on the CnlSeu
Horn would set all Europe aflame.
