THE REAL THANKSGIVING.
When the chestnut burrs are op'ning
And the leaves are leaving fast,
They are hustling up at g%ran'pop's
To prepare the grand repast,
That the city sons and daughters
Yearly get from dear gran'marm;
When they go 10 spend Thanksgiving,
Yes, Thanksgiving at the farm.
Howthey crowd the loved old farm house
With their children great and small,
Till they overflow the bedrooms
And must camp out in the hall
Oh, the way they keep increasing,
Fills the old folks with alarm,
At the advent of Thanksgiving;
Yes, Thanksgiving at the farm !
But at last the guests must scatter;
They must all go back to town;
While the old.time peace and quiet
On the h~ousehould settles down.
Then the dear old folks just reveis
In its pleasant, peaceful charm
And, / tell you, there's Thanksgiving;
Yes, thanksgiving at the farm

DELAwARE's NOTIFICATIONS.
Fort Delaware and Firms Point Bat.
terry, which guard the entrance to the
Delaware River have been undergoing
extensive improvement with the utmost
secrecy.
At Firms Point, on the Jersey shore
the Notifications enclose about lao
acres. One hundred and Fifty men are
at work there at present, though a
part will leave the last of this month to
work on Fort Delaware, in the channel,
about midway between Firms Point
and the Delaware Battery. The walls,
when completed, will measure go feet
in height, "a feet thick at the base and
6 feet at the apex. The armament will
consist of six Pinch guns, having an
effective range Of twelve miles. The
shell they throw is 6 feet long and each
shot will cost the Government 5000.
Three Of the gun carriages are on the
ground, one has been placed in position
and work is being pushed on the other
two. The other three carriages will be
placed in position by the garrison
troops, when they arrive.
The barracks, at present, cannot ae-
commodate over 200 soldiers, but will
be greatly enlarged in the near future.
AT Fort Delaware, in the river chan
mel, about half way between Firms
Point and Delaware Battery, compare
lively little has been done though a
new force of men will be put to work
there Monday. The armament Is old
style, though the guns are numerous
and would be OF little use IL attacked.
This armament is to be replaced by
modern guns. their size and number
being only known to the Government
engineers. The works will also be
greatly strengthened and the work will
cover a period of two years.
Delaware Battery just below Della
ware City, which guards the channel
on the Delaware side, is a counterpart
Of the Notifications at Firms Point,
except that 1t will be much better arm
ed. In fact, 1t will mount twelve H.
inch guns, though the range will be
only eight miles, owing to the interven-
ing hills.

More of McKinley's Silver Sentl-
ment.

The order0 seem to have gone forth
from the political bosses tc have the
80 called free silver journals here in
Kansas that belong to the republican
party try to fool their readers into
the belief that Mckinley is for free
silver, OF course every one who has
examined his record with an unpreju-
diced mind, knew that this was pure
political buncombe, but the bosses
recognized that the rank and file Of
the party here in Kansas were 10
favor of free silver, there was no argu-
ment to convince them that they we're
wrong, 80 the only way was to play
the confidence game on them.
We have shown at several different
times that there was nothing to war
rant such a clam for Mckinley and
much to indicate that he was gold
bug. We also suggested that as he
was able to speak If be desired to be
honest he could at once set at rest all
doubt as to his position,
Me has now spoken. In Mondays
New York World a staff correspon-
dent sends in an interview with him
from Canton, Ohio, in which he says:
l have discussed the question OF
currency and coinage in congress, and
my record is plain. Vice President
Stevenson once said the people we're
willing to chance free and unlimited
silver coinage; and l replied that the
people were not prepared to indulge
in any such speculation.
Will those journals, notably the
State Journal Wichita, and Atchison
Champion be honest enough to print
this interview and tell their readers
that their claims Of McKinley's friend
ship for silver was a mistake? 1t not
they must stand branded as the tools
Of the goldbugs, woose than the out
spoken advocate; for to the crime of
robbing they add the more villanous
act Of playing the confidence man.
McKi4lsy's-is not now, nor has he
been for years, other than single
gold standard man, and no honest
man need be further mistaken.

Not the Kites Tail.

e. f. Tenant, the wide awake edi-
tor of the Goodland News, resigns his
Office as tail Of the annual fusion kite
and comes out squarely for republic
canism, to be one Of the $4,000 Of it's
regenerated Kansas majority. He
says:
81 There is no democratic party in
Kansas to stay with. There was a
party once but fusion led it to the
block; principles were sacrificed for
Office. With the cry Anything to
beat the republicans fusion and pol
itical fanatacism defeated the repub-
lican party, but what was put in the
place Of itY What few members Of
the democratic party that were left
were used to tail every political kite
that flew A man gets tired Of play
ing tail all the time"
While renouncing his position as
tail Of the kite, we are led to believe
he still desires to soar in high places
as some part Of the kite; hence wealth
or jibboom, cross bar, main-mast or
wind-ward shroud there will still be
strings to him.
Never believe that republican kites
are not manipulated; do not dream
that they are tailless; for twenty-three
years our highest political ambition
has been to be the lower extreme
paper wad in that caudal appendsge

chat people DO not have confidence in

they? When fifty men can corner
the available supply and preclpitate a

precious little in it to inspire conf
dence. It is not the fear of cheap
money that shakes confidence in our

A Merry Confederate's Desperate Dash
When Caught In . Tight Place.
"The greatest act of daring that re-
member to have seen performed by sol
diers Of the confederate armies" said
Gen. G. p M. Turner, was performed
by couple of men who now stand high
in official life in the Lone Star state.
One is H. P. Mabry, the adjutant gen
eral of Texas, and the other is John E.
Love. who is now sheriff of one of the
Texas counties near Dallas, the name Of
which l just now fail to remember.
AT the time speak of Springfield
was invested by federal army OF 25,0 900
under Gen Fremont. The confederate
force, comparative handful, was quar-
tered at Camp Hardin, not far from
Cassville, under Gen. Mccullough. The
confederates had no knowledge Of the
strength Of the federal forces, and,
having been approached by some small
federal divisions that were evidently in
