White, December 10th, 1920, vt six
o'clock morning. Next day we meet for
prayer and thanksgiving. This, how
ever, is not generally accepted as the
first observance Of that nature, since it
hardly partook of the character Of q
general thanksgiving. But Is months
after the pilgrims sailed from Holland
they held harvest festival which last.
ed a week. This is generally spoken of
as the first Thanksgiving in New Eng
land, but it was not day set apart by
the governor, nor was it attended by
any religious observance.
A few years later precisely the same
thing occurred. Thereupon July 3d.
1923, was appointed as day of thanks
giving, and before the second sunset
relief ship arrived. Fast days and
thanksgiving days came at irregular in
tervals for number of years, the latter
following some marked event of benef-
icent nature, such as getting rid of
Anne Hutchinson, whose preaching
caused such a turmoil in New Eng
land, for the termination Of King Phil
ip's war and the close Of the Revolution
and the triumph of independence in
America. Then came the practice Of
the governor of each state naming day
for general thanksgiving. These at first
were not coincident, but the beautiful
custom has prevailed for considerable
time, and doubtless will prevail for ages
to come, of the president appointing
such day, generally the last Thursday
in November to which the governor of
each state assents by naming the same
day. Thus there is one day each year
when the As states and the territories
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from British America to the gulf return
thanks to God for his manifold bless
ings and mercies.

struction to the removal Of an
ofhcial is the law saying he shall
not be removed for refusing to
make political contributions. The
civil service commission is out
with the claim that this decision
will not affect the new rules, but
the general opinion is that unless
reversed by higher court it will
make those rules dead letter.
Senator Platt and other promi-
nent New Workers are trying to
persuade Secretary Bliss to resign
and become a candidate for mayor
of greater New York, but up to
this time Mr.. Bliss seems to
regard a cabinet portfolio in hand
as being better than mayoralty
nomination in the bush, with no
certainty of election Senator
Platt wants Mr.. Bliss to be a
candidate because he thinks the
strength of the administration
would be behind him and that his
nomination would compel the
withdrawal of Hon. Seth Low,
who has been nominated by the
citizens union with the expecta-
ton of republican endorsement, as
a candidate. II MIR. Bliss could
be assured of Lows withdrawal
he might consent to enter the
field as candidate.
Those who were posted on the
sentiment of members of the ad-
ministration on the subject were
not surprised when the cabinet
this week week decided, with the
approval Of President Mckinley,
that no appeal should be taken
from the decree of the U. S. cir
cult court ordering the sale of
the Union Pacific railroad. This
means that the syndicate, which
has already. deposited 81, 100000,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. II, 1897.
The much talked of civil SER
vice order by President Mckinley,
providing that no official in the
classified service should be re-
moved, except upon written char
ges and after an opportunity had
been given him to meet and dis
prove the charges, isn't worth the
paper tits written upon, accord
ing to decision of Judge Cox, of
the District of Columbia supreme
court, handed down this week in
the case of Woods, who sought a
perpetual injunction to prevent
the postmaster general transfer
ring him to a position lower than
the one he has been holding.
Judge Cox holds that there is no
law authorizing the rules pre-
scribed by President Mckinley,
and that there is no question OF
the legal !, TEigght Of the head of a
department. to remove his snbor-
dihatss5 at Il viii without giving ing
any reason. The only legal OBJ

The following from the Alexandria
Herald contains some good advice
which could be followed with profit by
all, and it should be kept where it
could be read daily: Because we see
the sun of prosperity rising, just at the
end of the road of hard times, is no
reason why we should not profit by the
lessons learned while travelling that
road for the past four years with inf
mite toll and pain. We learned to get
out OF debt, let US keep out OF it; we
learned to keep our expenditures with
in our means, let US profit by the
lesson; we learned not to discount the
future, let us rememb ber it; we learned
that hard times may follow even the
best of times, let us in the good times
just ahead prepare for the future; we
earned our diploma in the dearly
bought and bitter school of experience,
let us have it framed and placed where
our eyes may rest upon it at least once
a day"

E. G. Kennedy of Eureka

E. G. Kennedy of Eureka was
appointed U. S. marshal for South
Dakota by President Mckinney,
Monday. This appointment is
one that will give general salts
faction throughout the state, even
though there are some disap-
pointed aspirants. Mr.. Kennedy
is thorough business man and
old soldier with an env1able rec
ord. His chief deputy will be t.
G. Orr, another old soldier and
an all-around rustler, and no one
nsed be surprized if all the depu-
ties are taken from among the
!" bows who wore the blue"

soon get possession of and organ
ize the u. p. The matter is
likely to be heard from in con-
gress, although the sale will
probably have been fully accom-
plished before congress meets,
The matter could easily have
been postponed until after con-
gress met, by the government
appealing the circuit court decree
ordering the sale to the supreme
court, and it is understood that
Senators Foraker, Harris and
Stewart, composing the sub-com-
lnlttee of the senate committee on
Pacific railroads, strongly urged
that course upon the attorney
general. 1t was stated on the
floor of the senate at the last ses-
Sion of congress that the govern
ment would lose $4,000, 900 if
this sale was made, and other
creditors of the road almost as
much more.
Cuban sympathy must be even
stronger on the British island of
Nassau than it is in the United
States, if it be fair to judge by
the following incident told by Mr..
Thomas ]. McLain, jr., U. S.
consul at Nassua, who is at
present visiting Washi II g o II:
E"Not long ago a British man-of-
war captured lot of alleged fill
busters at the neighboring island
of Inagua, and brought them to
Nassau. The prisoners appealed
to me on the ground that they
were citizens of the U. S. | told
them not to be uneasy; that I'd
soon get them released. The
British officials were bent upon
their CONVICTION, and the day be-
fore the trial the English chief
justice, who was tosit in the case,
told me laughingly that he'd have
my compatriots all behind the
bars. / told him that the trial
would not last thirty minutes.
The jury cleared the party in just
twenty minutes. .
While Secretary Alger's deter
mination to send food into the
klondike region at his own
expense and trust to congress for
reimbursement, which was en-
dorsed by President Mckinley
and his cabinet, was highly
creditable to him and them, the
announcement Of that deterlnina-
ton at this time will probably do
much harm, as it will cause
/ thousands to crowd into the Klon-
dixie region this year whose fears
of starvation would otherwise
| have caused them to wait until
spring. The cabinet also decided
to send a detachment of U. S.
troops to Alaska. to assist in pre-
serving order on the y. S. side OF
the line.
| While in Washington this week
President Mckinley had a con-
ference with Consul General Lee
about Cuban affair, but there
have been no developments made
public and are expected for some
slime to come. The most impor-
tant moves are expected to be
made in Spain, according to
statements privately made by
those who ought to know, within
the next ninety days.
