Hunting the Wild Ss0at.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat rs it unfortunately called, is a
species of x game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not so much because
OF the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because Of Its actual
rarity. 1t is Il stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten.

only reduce it to two provided he did not
vote in the opposition. But it is not at all
certain that the fusion republicans will re-
fuse to vote for Senator Hanna. 1t seems
that they were not pledged to vote for the
democratic candidate for the Senate before
they were given places on the democratic
ticket
They were placed there as the result of

natl against a corrupt republican ring. That
is all there IL l. the coalition. 1t is rumored
that John r. Mclean, who would certainly
have been the senator had the democrats
controlled the state legislature. prefers
that Senator Hanna should go to the Sen
ate rather than any other republican, and,
If he could have any influence with these
fusion republicans in the matter of electing
g. senator, it would certainly be used in
the interest of Senator Hanna.
Position of Foraker Faction.
It is well known that a number of promi-
nent republicans of the Foraker faction
would like to accomplish the retirement of
Senator Hanna, but they have votes in
the matter and not a great deal of infiu-
ence with those that have. The position of
Charles L. Kurtz is well known. He is
'unaltera5ly opposed to the election of Sem
ator Hanna. 1t is also quite evident that
Senator Foraker himself will make no fur

situation, nor can all of them affect the
situation in any great degree. a different
aspect may be presented before the legisla-
ture meets, but as the matter stands now
the return of Mr.. Hanna seems to be quite
well assured.

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS
How the Newspapers Regard the Praise-Day
of '97.
Some of the Things for Which the
People Should Today BE
Thankful.

From the Baltimore Sun.
In its combined character as a day of
household reunion and general recognition
OF religious obligation Thanksgiving en-
phasizes the thought that all humanity be-
longs to one great family and looks up
to one common Father 1t is the day of
no party, of 10 sect of no petty human
division or class. 1t is the day when by
our united acknowledgment of the father
hood OF God, we recognize also the brother
hood CT man.
1t Is good thing to be thankful, and
1t is a good thing to have q day on which
to express that thankfulness in concert.
Whatever fern our gratitude may take,
the day will not have been ill-spent, If it
tends to bring men closer together and to
quicken the higher impulses of the nation.
From the Baltimore American.
Thanksgiving day is designed for the
expression of the nations gratitude for
the blessings of the year. These blessings
the present year, hut they have increased
in almost geometrical ratio SINCE and it
would be chur!ish in any American citizen
not to rejoice today. The three years prior
to 1897 were very lean years, indeed, but
there were blessings for the nation even at
that period. 1t is probable that no people
on earth ever learned as much about their
own government in SO short time. and of
the means OF avoiding future mfsfortunes.
They acquired this knowledge, moreover,
at the least cost to themselves, as they will
readily discover If they will calmly review
the events.
From the Philadelphia Times
The day is challenge to every believing
man to testify his faith by public ac-
acknowledgement. in such form as his own
religious associations direct; and further
more to show his thankfulness by the spirit
of Christian sympathy. And it is also q
challenge to every man who believes in
truth and. righteous ness to bring all his
best influence to bear for the promotion Of
truth and Righteousness in civic AFFAIRS

Latters Confession.
Her Husband knew Blanche Lamont

FORT WORTH, Texas, November 25.-
The widow of Arthur Forbes, alias Blan-
Their, who was arrested at Meridian, Tex,
charged with having murdered Mrs. Phili-
pena Langfeldt in San Francisco, and who

trouble, during which Forbes shot her three
times.
Mrs. Forbes says there is no doubt as to
Forbes being the murderer of the San
Francisco women; that he often told her
that he was well acquainted with Minnie
Williams and Blanche Lamont, having been
introduced to them by theodore Durrant;
that he often referred TO the murders in
such manner that she was convinced that
he knew of them. Mrs. Forbes or Ada
Taylor. says that one of her trunks is still
in San Francisco, where it was Used in evil
dence during Durrant's trial. She today

cry foreign markets would not alone have
given to the whole people such confidence
and such solid ground for confidence as the
events of the last year have brought.
From the New York Herald.
We have cause for most profound grati-
tude and Thanksgiving in the growth of a
worldwide sentiment in favor of peaceful
arbitration of differences between nations,
and especially for the wane of jingoism at
home and its failure to involve the country
I'm needless and devastating war; We may
well rejoice that the people throughout the
land today hear the peaceful turkeys sim
mer instead of listening to the eagles
scream at the bidding Of the jingoes. We
are thankful for the passing OF the yellow
fever which afflicted the people OF the
south, and that, while the planter is getting
low price for his cotton, the quantity
gathered promises to be the largest ever
known. True, there still exist poverty and
suffering, but we are thankful for the gen.
erous aid extended to the poor today by
their more prosperous brethren and for the
knowledge that the general sum of happi-
ness and well being is steadily growing.
20 Broadly, we have neither famine. pesti-
lence nor war. but plenty. health and peace
within our borders, and even the least for.
tunate has many reasons to join In the gen.
eral Thanksgiving.
