THANKSGIVING.

The arrival Of Thanksgiving Day
should incline our hearts towards the
unfortunate and destitute, who are not
able to sit down to groaning boards to-
day Whatever the state of society
the poor will always be factor in it,
for unhappSy there are those who are
worthy of our sympathies who are
faultless concerning their miseries.
These are they who have been brought
to want and suffering by others, those
upon whom they leaned and found
broken reeds. Then there are those
who are unfortunate and helpless, such
as the orphan child, the abandoned lit
tie one the stricken widow, left with
out means or strength to provide. All
these should have our help to-day.
From Well provided tables, where feast
ing and reunion, rejoicing and thank
fulness prevail, let there go out aid to
those who rejoice not, and before whom
hope seems to fade. Those Of US who
are able to help the unfortunate and
aid the worthy poor have exceeding
reason to be thankful for that ability;
thankful that we are surrounded by
loves and friends; that we have health
and hope; that the tide of prosperity
is rising in our land; that peace pre-
walls and that the bounty Of nature has
not been withdrawn.

ANNEXATION AND LABOR.

On Tuesday the Record Union" conn
mented upon statements made in reso-
lutions adopted by a labor organization
of Los Angeles in opposition to annex
alton of Hawaii. 1t was set out in the
resolutions that annexation meant the
throwing of 1O0,0 900 undesirable people
into competition with American white
workers.
In pointing out the absurdity of this
fear the Record Union" was made to
say that there are not 100, 600 native
Hawaiian workers who could compete.
by any possibility, with American la
Dor. The article should have read that
there are not 10000 such workers.
But the Record Union" might have
gone further than that: 1T might have
shown the full figures OF population
The fact is that there are, of all kinds
and classes Of people in the Hawaiian
Islands, but 100000 Now as the ma
tive population OF Hawaii is but 81
900. obviously the recital IN the Los
Angeles labor resolutions was error
The fact is that the whole 81 900 would
not constitute any menace TO labor con-
ditions in the United States, If the en-
tire lot of native Hawaiians was
dumped upon these shores.
There are as stated, in Hawaii, of
native Hawaiians 81 900, of Japanese
$4,000. Chinese $1,000, Portuguese 15,-
900, Americans 5000, subjects of Great
Britain 1900. French and Italians 900
Miscellaneous 500. In 1876 an offic-
ial census showed that there were
about $4,000 native Hawaiians. Since
that time they have diminished at the
rate of LOCO year so that in thirty
years at that rate they viii disappear,
as the Record Union" pointed out in
its first article on the subject. Really
in twenty years they viii have so far
diminished in number that they will
scarcely be heard of, just as for the
past twenty years they have been di-
minishing more rapidly than indicated
by the rate first given.
The Hawaiians are indolent as race;
there is a great disproportion of males
engaged, IL at work at ALL In fishing,
and these are not likely to turn to
anything else; indeed they will not, no
matter what the inducements offered,
because the native Hawaiians are not
ambitious, they have no special desire
for gains they are not money getters.
But if the islands are put under Amer
lean rule with a stable government es-
tablished and the rights of property
well secured, there viii be opened op-
portunity for the employment of about
10000 workmen.
The contract laborers from foreign
parts will have to return TO their homes
because the contracts under which they
occupy space in the islands win cease
to be operative-they will become un-

AN INCIDENT OF ENFORCED
POLITENESS.

An incident at session of the Teach
ers' Institute in this city Tuesday even
ing, serves to carry a lesson and point
a moral. One of the lectures of the
evening was on free hand drawing in
the public schools. The lecturer was
a person skilled in the art and invited
from abroad for the occasion.
Early in the course of the lecture it
became necessary to use a blackboard
we'll elevated upon the pulpit rostrum
of the church in which the meeting
was held. The illustrations had not
continued long when one of the audi
and called halt, saying that those not
in the front seats found it impossible
to see the board and enjoy the illus
trations, because of the intervention of
the mats of the women. The request
was made that these women would so
far concede the rights of the others
in the audience as to remove their hats.
To the credit of that body of women
be it recorded that there was instant
compliance and the lecture proceeded
to the entertainment and instruction
of all present. All which emphasizes
three things, neither of which is cred
liable to the civilization in which we
live.
First, the cold thoughtlessnes of many
of our women, in that they fail to per-
ceive that they are offending, until their
attention is called to the matter pub
licly when in good conscience and for
very shame they cannot refuse to COM
gear is a nuisance and must cut off
the view of every person sitting be-
hind them. Second, that in order to
secure common right at the hands
occasion referred to, for one Of the
multitude to politely protest against
nuisance Third, that the American
people are inconsiderate of the rights
of their fellows of the public, and to
that extent are selfish, impolite and
vulgar in very many cases. This is a
complaint by no means lodged against
women alone, but to which men are
equally amenable.
This little incident in the church
serves to tell the whole story and
preach the entire moral of the crusade
against the tyranny of a fashion that
has grown into such proportions as to
demand of legislators the passage of
laws for its abolition 1t is submitted
after this vivid illustration of the fact
that the big hat complaining is not
cranky, frivolous nor trespasS upon
the rights of women, that there is
nothing whatever to be said in defense
of the continuance of a custom among
American women that is so offensive,
and of which the sisterhood in older
civilizations across the Atlantic are
guiltless.

dies has one that will eventually hunt down
and arrest that particular disease
Lung and bronchial diseases are among
the most battling complaints which doctors
have to deal with; because it isn't the lungs
or bronchial tubes alone which are affected,
but every corner of the system furnishes
lurking place for these elusive maladies
They change and reappear and dodge
about the system under numberless dis

The best detective remedy which Nature
has provided to search ont and arrest these
perplexing ailments is DR.. Pierce's Golden

hand directly upon the poisonous, paralyz-
ing elements hiding in the liver and diges-
tive organs.

cures the severest cough it strengthens

General Weyler would probably like
to be thought a cheerful fellow, or any
thing but a joker. But here we have it
that no sooner does he land in Spain
than he proceeds to antagonize the poll
icy Of the home government by declar-
ing that autonomy for Cuba would be
unfortunate, a national calamity. The
wealth and riches of Cuba belong to
Spain, exclaimed the ex-Captain-Gen-
eral. Autonomy for Cuba means the
disappearance from the island of Span
ish workmen, he cries. If he snot grim
joker the General is an ignoramus. The
Spanish workman in Cuba and his dis
appearance as the result of an autono-
nous form of government for Cuba, are
suggestions for real mirth. When did
the Spanish workmen in Cuba ever cut
any considerable figure in her career?
Had General Weyler said the Spanish
shop keeper and trader would disap-
rear. he would have been something
near to the truth. But as for the Span
ish workman IN Cuba. he is too small a
figure to be considered. AS for the riches
OF Cuba belonging to Spain, there are
people who differ with the General on
that head, notably some $4,000 insur-
gents in arms, whom he has been unable
to whip or bribe, to frighten, or to dis
perse They entertain the idea not
withstanding the fact that Spaniards
look upon it is chimerical, that the
riches OF Cuba belong to. the people of
Cuba. and that the right of self-govern-
ment is God-given and eternal.
China has called upon Russia to aid
her in expelling the German forces from
the soil of China recently occupied by
German troops. We anticipated this
and remarked upon it the other day, as
to be expected. Russia will in all prob
ability comply with the request of
China, so far as to send a request to
the German Government to withdraw
it's troops. and accept a reasonable in
demnity for the outrages upon the Ger
man missionaries This Germany will
not refuse, she will not dare to resist
such an appeal. but she will delay,
doubtless, and haggle about the sum
of the indemnity. 1t ought to be large
The Chinese Government admitted the
missionaries under a solemn treaty, and
is bound to afford all such adequate
protecticn. She has not done so, and
should be made to smart for it.

learned, the mine officials will stand
firm on the proposition they have made.
After the conference tonight several

said that a conference of operators in

of other states had been entirely I'm

only the Pittsburg district was being
considered. National President Ratch-

Stoutly maintained that the question
was still an inter-states one and the
general strike was being deliberated
upon. From the best information at
hand the contending parties are still
far apart. The operators hope that one
Of their propositions will be accepted,
while the miners officials say that they
will not recede in the least from the
position they have taken. President
Dolan, however, after the conference,

would come to some definite under

Strikers SoiZin Trains

Cincinnati. August pa special to The
Commercial-Tribune from Wellston. Ohio,
says: Seven hundred miners, headed by
three brass bands, tagged a mixed freight
and passenger train on the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton railroad this morn
ing, at a crossing in the southern part of
this city. The train came to stop and
was boarded by the men. The trainment
refused to go on and backed their train to
the depot, where they were ordered by
officials of the road to proceed. The
miners were en- route to Oak Hill. where
there waa5 a mine in full operation. Ar
irving at Oak Hill, the strikers marched
to the mine and demanded that the men
come out. This they did. but not before
being assured that no harm was intended
if they conducted themselves right. The
men then held meeting and informed the
strikers that they would not work until
the strike was settled. They were COM
PEELED TO march with the strikers through
the principal streets of Oak Hill.
Returning to Nellston, the strikers cap
tured Baltimore and Ohio southwestern
freight train. It's conductor at first re-
fused to move his train, but went into
Wellston when informed that the miners
were going to stay on board until he did
move. This is the second time the
strikers have taken the men out OF Oak
HILL and they were informed that il they
were compelled to make = third trip they
would mak4 it unpleasant FOR them.
Trouble is feared if any further attempt
to mine CCa1 is made.
