THE DAY.

What have we to be thankful for?
Much. Thankful that pestilence has not
invaded our borders that threatened us
last summer. Thankful that war has
not involved US; that we live and have
our being; that law and order prevail
and command the respect of the people,
despite the bowling of the anarchistic
class that would have absolute and I'M
controlled personal liberty usurp the
orderly functions of society.
We have reason to be thankful that
the advantages and opportunities of a
Republic are ours; that no barriers are
as yet erected to prevent any man of
prCvident habits, industry and sobriety
rrom making and saving in some de-
gree; thankful that, despite poverty
which all nations have, and that will
continue to exist SO long as men congre-
gate and are the subjects of crime, mis-
fortune and unthrift, the civilized peo-
than ever before, and that smaller
percentage of human beings are de-
history of civilization. For instance
whereas in England in 1880 one-fifth
of all the people were paupers, to-day
less than one-thirtieth draw poor rates.
We have reason to be thankful that
our lines are cast in a winterless cline,
in a land of sunshine and a bountiful
soil, where the least of human suffering
is probable under any circumstances.
We have reason to be thankful that the
future gives us promise and that hope
abides with US We should be thankful
that free institutions prove their worth,
and that self government has ceased to
be an experiment and is a demon
strated capacity among a free people.
We have reason to be thankful that sci
ence continues to enlarge knowledge of
right living, so that the lease of our
lives is extended and our health is more
and more protected from the results Of
ignorance and the infraction of natural
laws.
We have reason to be thankful that
more and more wealthis being better dis
tributed, and that the greater posses
sions amassed by men are divided more
and more with each year among a con-
stantly increasing larger number. We
have reason to be thankful for free
schools, a free press, free speech and free
conscience, and that all assaults upon
these have come to naught.
If we have not been as prosperous as
was our desire and hope, with the Ger
man philosopher we have reason to be
thankful that we have not smaller
measure of prosperity than we do en-
joy. In fact, the Nation and all the
people thereof have reason to give
thanks to-day that this is the best and
freest land, with highest promise larg-
est bounties, the most and best Oppor-
tunities for all men, the best scheme of
liberty and the loftiest ideals for man
kind

The decline of the percentage of per-
State in the last thirty years is a sub
ject Of unending interest to the student
Of political economy. In 1861 the pro-
portion Of personal property to real
property and improvements thereon
was 1862. In 1895 this had descended
to 1892
In the interest of greater perspicuity,
we present the following, tabulated
from data derived from the report of
the State Controller on the relation of
personal to real property in decades
from 1861 to 1891, adding the statement
for 1895, as follows:

NJ. de Gondourville has been making
study Of Chinese character, and con-
cludes in the Monde Moderne that
they are the most advanced Of peoples
in many things. They are not towards,
he says, because no such desperate
fighting has been known as is to be
credited to the Black Flags. But these
men never boast of their prowess, and
military distinction is not desired
honor, because the Chinese abhor war,
holding it to be cruel, barbarous and
unmanly. They have not greed for
wealth. They accumulate, but much
wealth if gained is hidden, because the
Mandarins have an arbitrary way Of
reducing it in the hands of the owner
They all cultivate their minds, and it is
more honorable among them to be
learned than rich. They are very
hospitable. They are not patriotic, az
we understand patriotism, but they
are attached to their country because
of it's traditions, rites and customs.
They honor old age, and they choose
officials because of their learning and
distinct ability Their industries are,
he thinks, beautiful and intensive. NJ.
de Gondourville thus finds them in sew
eral respects superior to europeans or
Americans, and especially in their dis
couragement of great wealth accumu-
lations, the universally Of love for
mental cultivation and their valuation
of industry. While we may not agree
with this French savant in his esti-
mate of the Chinese from what we see
Of those who come to US. we can afford
to consider his statements and reflect
upon them. The French philosopher
concludes his paper with these words,
which open a door for vigorous debate.
Europe will, no doubt, conquer China as
Rome conquered Greece. But like the
Greeks the Chinese will have their re-
tives Of the future. They are the meek
who will inherit the earth, the race who
will renew the Western world after ii has
been used up by mllitarism and the mad
race for wealth which has already nearly
racked out the American continent, and,
at any rate, cleared off its forests and
fauna.

The Canadians enter a protest
against the cross country canal pro-
posed from Chicago on Lake Michigan
to the Mississippi River. They insist
that they have rights in the waters of
the great lakes that would be subject
to injury by the withdrawal of any
portion of the waters of Lake Michigan.
But this will not do. If that reasoning
is sound they would have grounds for
Directing to Chicago drawing her do
nestle water supply from the lake, or
to the closing of any stream feeding
the lake. But if this is not true, if it is
an exaggerated parallel, then the ques-
ton arises whether, since the waters of
Lake Michigan nowhere border upon
Dominion territory, the Canadians
have any right whatever to object to
any treatment of the lake which the
United States Government may see fit
to permit?

Is there to be left to US anything that
science will not demand in the interest OF
public health shall be regulated? Here,
now, come the men of science who
search out microbes, and tell us that or
binary wrapping paper is vehicle for
carrying into our homes the seeds of
disease. One French city has already
passed ordinances for preventing wrap
ping paper from becoming source of
danger. Old or soiled paper is forbidden
for the wrapping UP Of. food. Paper
that has been printed upon, and any
that has been much handled is con-
demned. Leaves of old books of all
kinds, artifcially colored paper, paper
written upon, etc, must not be used to
wrap any moist goods, any food to be
used without cooking by heat, meat,
fish, vegetables, powders, salt or food
substances that go into cooked food
raw, etc The authorities of Montpelier
did not take this step until the scien-
lists had convinced them by expert
mental demonstration that microbes
dangerous to life and health are con-
veyed in the forbidden paper.

The Pekin Official Gazette is more
than 600 years of age, and is thus the
oldest of newspapers. But positions
upon that journal are not very desir-
able in view of the fact that not less
than 1,200 of its editors and writers
have had their heads neatly chopped
off by order of the Imperial Government
and its supernumerary officials. If
there was such a censorship exercised
over the metropolitan press in this
country it would be necessary to en-
large the cemeteries.

The Manufacturers Association of
San Francisco is much disturbed over
the fact that immense amounts of
goods are sold into this State that are
the products of Eastern State Prison
labor, as the Record Union months ago
told them was true. The laws of those
States prohibit the sale of such goods
at home, and hence California is made
a dumping ground for them. Why not
then follow the example of those States
and prohibit the sale of their goods
here? The difficulty might be encoun-
tered, however, that such laws would
be in violation of the comfy guaran-
teed between the States, and of the
right of every citizen Of one State to
trade into another. However, the ia
nous liquor decision by the United
States Supreme Court gives some color
to the claim that while the citizen of
another State has the right TO bring
his goods into this State, once here
they become subject to the prohibitory
laws of place.

the Mayor of a Western city once upon

mounted a convenient hight and read
the Riot Act in stentorian tones, and
shouted: I'm the name of the law l

The proposition of members of the
Young Mems Christian Association to
establish a night drawing school in the
art room of the Sacramento School OF
Design in the City Art Gallery, is
good one and worthy Of promotion. De
signing is one of means of expression
and all men should have some skill in
it. The new class will aid the School
of Design considerably and encourage
the California Museum Association to
continue it's work of maintaining it.
