The Milk supply.

that the element Of danger from this source

The day set apart by proclamation this
year for a general expression of gratitude
for the blessings of life finds the American
people In mood of thankfulness rather
for those things benefioent now in prospect
than for those that have already been en-
joyed during the past twelve months. They
have, however, reason to be grateful for
many evils ayerted. to be thankful that
things are no WORSE and to congratulate
themselves that in an era of worldwide
depression their lot has been far happier
one than that of 50 many of the other
peoples of the earth.
They are thankful, of course, with few
exceptions, for the event that has made
possible a favorable prospect for the nation
the defeat of the threat of commercial
paralysis embodied in the advocacy by a
candidate for the presidency of a system of
finance menacing the very foundations Of
business. A spirit of thankfulness, there
fore, pervades the nation that this trial has
Eeen passed in safety, and that the near
future holds nothing but promises of re-
established Industries. awakened CONNER

of conditions affecting the entire nation.

trembling. as it we're. in the balance Of
political fate. but st has splendidly emerged
from period of doubt and darkness and
each day adds to the number of those who
feel sincerely thankful for the triumph of
good sense and honesty at the polls.
The local community has before 1t the
prospect of period of unchecked progress
in all lines. The preservation of the civil
service law promised by the election of
Mckinley means much to Washington, and
Tor this merchants and the public are
thankful They hope that a year hence
Congress will have granted such legislation
as Is now greatly desired for the better
ment of municipal conditions and it may be
that Thanksgiving Day of 1897 will find the
citizens of the capital in a general state of
5ubilation over not merely the prospect but
the realization of important and necessary
public improvements.

been enacted governing the practice of

other legislation of a wholesome character
has been secured, so that Congress is to be

up without delay, and dispose of 1t as
promptly.
In order to facilitate matters, the Speak
er might announce only the ways ana

House. in that way. having no other bust
ness in hand. could devote its time exclu-
sively to the tariff question, and If the
Senate could be induced to act with ex-
petition, two months time would zee the
whole matter disposed of.
The effect of the adoption Of this policy
would simply be to prolong the usual short
session of three months to a session Of
five months, or six, at the outside. It is
true a new House would begin its labors,
but under the leadership prevailing in the
present House, and with the same party
ends in view. There would practically be
no break In the proceedings SO far as that
body would be concerned.

will be improved for the republicans

confidently than now. The vote upon which
they can rely will be slightly increased.
and the opposition otherwise weakened by
the disappearance Of several very able men.

President Cleveland on the Fourth.

The day is celebrated, not because
on the Fourth of July certain English
colonies in America declared their
freedom and independence, but be-
cause on that day the first step was
taken on this continent toward trust
ing human government to the control
and management of the people to be
governed.
This reflection leads to the further
thought that such n project could
never have been entertained except
in the faith and expectation that those
intrusted with self-government would
guard and cultivate that unselfish and
self-sacriicing devotion to their
scheme of government which is abso.
lutely essential to its purity and
safety.
Inasmuch as this sentiment is the
life of our institutions, and because
they are threatened with the stiffling
atmosphere of selfshness and cupidl-
ty, we should SO commemorate Inde-
pendence Day as to stimulate and in
tensify patriotic love of our Govern
ment for its own sake, while our
rejoicing should be measured by the
extent to which we and all our coun-
rymen are imbued with this feeling.

The unprecedented distinction
which awaits president Cleveland is
that his portrait and figure are to ap-

seven years ago, by adopting for the

And Betty told him-confessing
smilingly that she would even have
liked to had "Yankee Doodle" played
by drum and fife, as Annie had sar-

"What's Yankee Doodle?'" he
asked.
"You never heard of Yankee
Doodle? p" cried Betty.
"No, Betty, I never did. I'm only
a poor ignorant little English boy,
you must remember"
"Oh, you may laugh at me, but do
think it is ignorant not to know that
Yankee Doodle was the rallying tune
of the Americans in the war of the
Revolution; not great big dignified
national thing, but little catchy
hurrah quickstep, that all the Federal
troops marched by. Hear now, this
is it." and Betty hummed the lively
strains, playing an imaginary fife as
she did so. Dicky jumped up from
the garden seat beside Betty, after the
first few bars, and began to dance to
the quick measures, and then he be-

Anne from the tower window had
caught the sound OF the voices in the
garden below.
"Betty and Dicky," she said to her
self. She couldn't hear what they
said she didn't even catch the sound
OF Yankee Doodle but when they
came around the corner of the house,
she saw Dicky dancing merrily down
the path before Betty, and laughed al
the sight. And Dicky was dancing to
the softly whistled tune OF Yankee
Doodle!" Betty was tall for her age.
Dicky was sixteen and short for his
age. 'I'm year older than Betty

"But it's for that dear little, honest,

character enough to stand by her
guns"
"And not to run with ours" laughed
the Undergraduate.
"As her sister was constantly trying
to do" joined in Miss Stafford, the
young lady of Anne's admiration.
But it remained for Dicky to bestow
upon Betty the most effective tribute
in this family conclave.

and the prettiest girl and the best
