WE GIVE THANKS.

The President of the United States
issues his Thanksgiving proclamation
and names Thursday tomorrow as
the day on which we should give
thanks. AS usual, the Light is first
in the field, giving to its readers their
Thanksgiving menu. For itself and
for its readers the Light gives thanks.
1t gives thanks for life, for prosper
ity. for increased patronage, for en-
larged influence, for tighter grip on
the situation, for better prospects, for
more friends, for past present and
future success, for wearing no mans
collar, for having mind of its own,
for daring to be right, for neither
hungering nor thirsting after pie, for
this and many other things the Light
gives thanks for itself.
For itself and for others, it gives
thanks that Mckinley is elected; that

that the free trade era is almost over:

that thousands and tens of thousands
of idle men and women are finding
employment since the election; that

won so signal a victory in contest with
British contentious; that the demand
for American farm products is on the
increase; that the line of the solid
south is broken; that the attempt to
divide the east and the west on polit-
ical lines has failed; that Bryan's

that there was the largest

ever polled; that Weyler has not sue
reeded in crushing out the patriotic
life of Cuba; that there is peace in
avery quarter of this broad land: that
Texas is not left without at least one
representative in congress:
hat the old Alamo City continues to
grow and flourish; that the city is
to put herself right with
the state in concentrating the
of the AlamO;" that we are
going to have a Midwinter fair: that
The beastly Democratic majority in
Texas is largely wiped out; that I'm
lie Sam commands respect even In
'ar away Turkey: that there
IS bread and meat to spare
N this city, this state
his country: that freedom of speech
md act are the inheritance of all our
people; that educational measures
more and more the attention
Of our people; that charitable be-
1uests of every kind are on the in
that the people are more and
more inclined to stand upon their
rights; that bigotry is really less fash
ienable than of old; that the man.

coming into her Inheritance of deserv-
ed freedom; that the whole world and
this nation are faced toward broad
er humanity. a wider charity. clean

itself and for all whom it reaches and
gives thanks this Thanks
