President CIeyeland's Thanksgiving proc

and the American people have indorscd his

There is something sublime in a well
worded national Thanksgiving proclaua-
ton. The call upon a people to offer
thanks for material blessings is eXcep-
lIoualIy inspiring. 1t arouses thoughts of
devotion and encourages a feeling OF hope
fulneSs that might otherwise have lain
dormant. AS nation we are Christians.

Let the Thanksgiving day be generally

Let Them Walk the Plank.

The administration bouncer began the
work or firing offending silverite officials
yesterday, and Thomas F. Brantly and
Burton T. Boyle no longer hang their
hats i'll the Treasury Department. These
Selitiemcn took the stump for Mr.. Bryan
IN defiance of the attitude Of President
Cleveland on the financial question, and
they now have opportunity to realize
tie unpleasantness OF trying to draw a
salary without governmental assistance
IL is reported that there are other de

cOii, cruel world, and that certain parts
or their garments have already been rein
forced in anticipation OF the coming
bounce.
From the standpoint Of strict justice
every government appOintee who neglected
his duties to support the Chicago platform
should be promptly dismissed. This is
plain hut much merited talk, and it will be
approved by every sensible Ierson.
The Chicago convention grossly insulted
President Cleveland, and Silverite orators
from Mr.. Bryan down, did their utmost to
bring his administration into public con
tempt. III the officials who owe their ap-
pCintInentS to the President have not suf-
ficient respect for HIN to refrain from join

Make them all walk the plank, Mr.. Clevc-

Are We All Crazy?

II has been truly said that every one is
more or less crazy. SOME are affected with
an acute mania that requires the use of a
strait Jacket to prevent bodily injury;
Others destroy themselves or their friends
by milder type of dementia. Among this
latter class is the fool who bets on elections
What do you think OF Il man who agrees
TO ride on piece OF ice for fourteen
blocks. or how a bout the idiot wnD arranges
to saw cord of wood in the middle of a

the lunatic who allows another equally
insane individual to wheel him a mile on a
gaily decorated hand-barrow? These and
other similar freak election bets We're m aGe

In view of the many such exhibitions
OF lunacy it might be well for ever V alleged
sane person to sit down and take mental
reckoning Of his sanity. A careful study of
ones habits, peculiarities, cranky ten
dencies and Improbable inclinations will
be interesting. 1t will demonstrate that
none but angels are perfectly sane, nd that
lunacy in its various forms includes ever u

in the construction Of a luiGing worthy
to house it. Not satisfied with this, the
local newspapers urge that the ten hranc chcs
Of the library shall also have buildings Of
their own, instead Of hcing located in
rented apartments, and advocate besides
an increase in the number. In discu ssing
this subject the Public Ledger declare S
that there is Il growing sense Of the
value of books as 4 mean of education and
of the duty of every city and State to
supply the means for establishing and
maintaining free public Hbraries.'
1t is this duty of every city and State''
which the people Of Washington Should
emphasize in presenting the que stion Of
the support OF cur terminating free public
committees of the Senate and House. The
suggestion was thrown out in The Times
but a few days ago that in the Municipal
Building, which is TO be erected before
long, room may be found for the free
library. This, however, would suffice only
while the library would be in its infancy.
Ultimately separate building must he
found for it, and Con gress cannot be
familiarized too soon with that contin sency
Although Washington has OF a million
Of inhabitants, like the City of Brotherly
Love, it is the capital of great nation,

Consequently there is no necessity for
getting panicky over the possibility of his
defeat. There is also Il strcng probability
that Mckinley VIII carry Kentucky and

The apparent Republican landslide of
yesterday was estimated from the marvel
ous sound money gains in the towrs and

the preference. He will be our next

after March 4, 1897, and 1t is useless to
get frightened at a Itryau shadow.
