THEY GAVE THANKS.

by prOClamaUOns issued ny Jne Iresl-
dent Of the United States and the Governors
of the various commonwealths that constitute
this grand country Of ours yesterday was
generally observed as a day Of thanksgiving.
The people Of this nation have many things
for which to be thankful, and especially
those Of Pennsylvania and Schuylkill county
in particular in a political or worldly manner.
Grover Cleveland, the Chief Magistrate,
yesterday cat his turkey and gave thanks
that, unlike his friend Bryan, he was not
compelled to deyour a dish Of crow with
silver dressing. lie was also thankful that
he himself was one Of those who were in
strumental in procuring that nauseating dish
for the defeated Popocratic candidate.
William Mckinley, Jr, whose residence
is at Canton, Ohio, attended divine services
yesterday. This is the gentleman whom the
people have selected as the advance agent of
prosperity" and to direct the ship of state for
the next four years Truly thankful should
he be, and equally so are the people,
The 'iavorite son of Pennsylvania very
appropriately observed the day in Washing
ton, where his services will be required to
assist in the restoration of good old RepuL-
Ii ,an times during the sessions of Congress.
No one has more reason to look on the bright
side of life just at this time than Matthew
Stanley Quay. Having materially assisted in
winning a notable victory his political
friends in this state in control of the party
machinery; recognized as the fountain head
from which will flow the political plums
when the stream Of patronage is at its flood,
well may the "Old Man give thanks.
The brilliant and brainy young Penrose,
who has won his spurs in conflict with the
Combine aud in the State Senate arose yes
terday as happy as a lark, made so by antci-
patton Of what is in store for him. The next
Legislature, in January will present to
Quay's faithful lieutenant the United States
Senator-hipand it will be am honor worthily
conferred.
Coming closer TO home, there j., no
man in Schuylkil county who had more
reason to observe the day than Hon Charles
N. Brumm. lie undoubtedly gave thanks
because hc did not find Unnecessary to engage
a substitute during the recent campaign, and
for that reason has no honors to share with
anybody.
While our friend wilhelm can find little
to be thankful for in the defeat Of Bryan,
yet there is clean Of sunshine even for the
bainy silverita. Tilman was saved from the
9eluge.
Down upon the placid ScLuylhill-whcrc
the lats used to come iu-dwclls a statesman
who is both thankful and rcgrctGul. After
January next the sun will shine upon h.s
bald mead through the dome Of the Senate
chamber at Harrisburg, and tic thought Of
those happy houIa-in anticipation, 10 be
sure-caused the Hon Sam to join the people
of the nation yesterday in Offering thanks.
But at times our statesman friend is sadly
beset by the remembrance of that doleful
tale, 1T might have heen!'
Even that warrior bold, Major Fmucy
who carries the scars of many hard fought
battle, is as frisky and happy as a lamb The
little boomlet that he carries in his inside
pocket will boom in the not far distant and
it will be heard from ocean to ocean. His
happiness will be complete when the Legi,la-
ture retires Cameron and substitutes Penrose
as Quay's colleague.
Our friend Parker gave thanks because
he is allowed TO remain upon this mundane
sphere The avalanche Of gold votes was so
