ALASKA is THANKFUL.

Copies of the Thanksgiving
proclamation of Hon. John 6.
Brady, Governor of Alaska, have
reached the States. 1t is an in
%teresting document. Governor
Brady finds many reasons for
thankfulness. He says that ALAS
kans not only have much cause
for gratitude on their own account,
but can be grateful for the bless
ings which the citizens of the rest
of ~Anglo-America enjoy. Says
Governor Brady: "We here IN
Alaska can raise our voices in praise
and thanksgiving for the abundance
which we have enjoyed this PAST
year. We can rejoice also that
our friends and Relatives, scat
tered throughout the States of the
Union and the provinces OF the
Dominion of Canada, have been
blessed with abundant h~arvests
and that their products find gooo
markets.
The Governor of Alaska finds in
the discovery of gold in that Ter
ritory a strong reason fer graft
tude. That portion of his I'M
conventional thanksgiving procla-
nation is worth reproducing
Here it is: ION account of the
wonderful discoveries of gold
upon the Klondyke, we have been
brought prominently before the
public, and many who have de-
cried Alaska as good for nothing
are now admitting that it has
wonderful possibilities. For this
turn in the tide of opinion let Us
give thanks. While the cattle
on the hills are the Almighty's,
the gold, copper and coal in the
mountains and the fish in the sea
are His also"
Well, Alaska ought to be
thankful.

B"RITISH-FRENCH CONFLICT.

The report of a collision be-
tween the French aud British
forces at Nikki, in the Lagos
Hinterland, whether true or uot,
is interesting. Such a conflict has
been threatened for some time
and it would not be surprising if
it has occurred. England and
France are each engaged in the
business of land-grabbing in
equatorial Africa. The matter
in dispute is a vast territory
claimed both by the French and
the Royal Niger Company, Britt
ish, and to which neither has
any right save that of the robber
with the strong hand. Two years
ago the British laid claim to all
that portion of Africa lying north
of the German Kamerun and
south of the northern French
sphere" which takes in a large
part of Sahara desert. The al
legged protectorate Of the British
was based upon a treaty with one
the native Kings which the Royal
Niger Company is said to have
secured by coercion. The British
had penetrated as far as Bussa, a
town half way to the coujectural
eastern border of the British
possession, when last January a
small French force appeared at
Bussa, during the absence of the
British agent. The native King,
who had sided .with the British,
had died and his brother had sue
ceeded to the throne. The French
commander threatened TO destroy
the town unless the King recog-
nized the French protectorate,
which was promptly done. This
invasion caused a storm Of indlg-
nation in England and the French
force was temporarily withdrawn
pending the adjustment of the
matter 10 dispute by a commiss
sion, which has just now begun
to deliberate in Paris, Mean while
the minds of both the French
and British people have been in
famed and each country has been
trying to steal a march on the
other.
Reinforcements have been sent
to Africa and the opposing forces
have several times narrowly es-
capped collision Within the past
six months. If a conflict has oc-
Cured and the French have TAX
en- Nikki, as reported, serious
trouble is likely to follow.

we have much goods laid np for
many years, forgetting that we are
fools, contriving our own destruc-
ton? Rather let us say with the
sweet singer of Israel: aWnat shall
I render unto the Lord for all his
benefits toward me? I will take the
cup of salvation and call upon the
name of the Lord. I will pay my
vows unto the Lord now in the
presence Of all his people"
I can but think that this age of
peace and comparative exemption
from calamities is given us in order
that we may pay our vows unto the
Lord, in order that a great Christian
nation, great in wealth, power, num-
bers and influence may do a great
work in spreading the Gospel of the
Prince of Peace.
Can it be that all our wealth of
material prosperity, of liberal cul-
ture, of literary achievement, of
progress in the arts and sciences are
vouchsafed us merely for our own
enjoyment? Is it possible that the
inventions of this age, so miraculous
as almost to demonstrate the inspi-
ration of the Divine Spirit, the mar
velous applications of steam and
electricity and the utilization of the
forces of nature to the service OF
man, are intended only to facilitate
commerce and are to have their Ill
innate end in the manufacturing and
hauling of merchandise from East
| to West, from North to South? Is
there no deeper significance in the
| startling developments that distin
| guish this century above all that
have gone before?
I feel that [ speak only words o.
| truth and soberness when [ say thai
God has more richly endowed this
so great people to do great things
for the ushering in of His kingdom
than any people who have ever LIVED
in any age of the world. He has re
allied for US the prayer of old
"peace be within thy walls, and pros
perity within thy palace" He has
clothed us with glory and honor. Il
that wonderful book in which JOIN
has recorded his glorious vision o
the heavenly city, the new Jerusa
lem, with its jasper walls, it's colder
streets, it's river of life, it's tree
whose leaves are for the healing 0
the nations he has written, sane
they shall bring the glory and hon

of our nation may be brought int

Walter, N. c. Nov. 80, '97.
Dear ARGUs:-Thanksgiving day
passed off very gu 6 ly IN our
community, and now we + look

will soon be here. While our
hearts are thankful for Gods
blessings which have been so
abundantly showered upon US dur
ing this year, and are buoyant
with anticipation of the pleasures
which attend the approaching hol>
idays, we should not be forgetful
of the poor. There are many whose
lot is much harder than ours,
and in whose home the sunlight of
joy and happiness seldom shines.
We enjoyed the article from the
pen of your worthy correspondent,
JEFF. M. Jenkins of Fremont, and
can assure him, that ssthem's our
paregorics." May he live long to
WELD the pen, and in his declining
years, may the comforting thought
of a we'll spent life smooth his
pathway, and brighten his entrance
into the Celestial City.
The first party of the season
was given at MI John Deans, just

night. Mr. Deans has erected a
nice little cottage, which adds very
much to the appearance OF that
neighborhood.
Mrs. Sallie Pearson, and sister
Mrs. Eliza Beard, spent thanks
giving with Mesdames Crawford,

most worthy citizens.
Messrs. Will Smith and John
Edwards, of your city. were in the
neighborhood last Thursday even
ing, visiting two of our prettiest
maidcns.
MI Thos. MCGEE was among
Us last Friday, talking insurance
to our farmers. He has many
friends here who are always glad
to see him.
Mr.. G.. B. Fail of Saulston,
was in the community last week.
We are glad to know he contem-
plates moving near his mother,
Mrs. Needham Fail, next year.
Mr.. Brogden has rented from
Mr.. Jno. Grantham, and moved
his family near here. We gladly
welcome him in u neighborhood.
Mr.. Thad Gurley and family,
spent Saturday night and Sunday,
with Mrs. Gurley's parents, MI.
and Mrs. Jesse Baker.
Mrs. Geo. l.. Becton has re-
turned from a visit to her parents,

dates for county offices and members of
the Legislature. Mr.. Georges name is

George is known to prefer Mr.. Low 10

Should Mr.. George decide at the last
moment that he could not be elected
and ask his followers to vote for Mr..
Low-and should the piebald following
of Mr.. George respond favorably to the
request of their leader-the present
calculations of the Republican experts
might be upset and Mr.. Low be elected.
The situation invites combinations and
there may be many surprises before

drawing nearer her colonies in order to
re-adjust her position, and Canada is
the chosen favorite of them all.
But the question may well be asked,
can Canada, with any resources that
England may bring to bear, be built up
into a rival of the United States? Ex-
periments in this direction have always,
hitherto, failed. Emigrants have been
assisted to settle in Canada, but in the
course of time they find their way to
this country of better opportunities.
Statistics show that since 1870 over one
million Canadians have emigrated to
the United States. That number Is
one-6fth the population of the domin-
ion. However large sums England may
spend upon internal improvements in
Canada, upon Notifications and lines of
steamships, she is sure to discover in
the end that the strong current running
towards this country cannot be divert
ed nor divided.
Another thing is certain. When
England's plans for Canada are reduc-
ed to practice, there will arise trouble
some iealousies. Halifax, for instance,
already strongly objects to the choice
of st. John as the terminus of the new
line of fast transatlantic steamships.
Canada is q peculiar combination Of
races at best, and no matter what gifts
and favors England may heap upon it
the attempt to Anglocize it is sure tc
fail. OF course England's new policy
in Canada excites no little interest, and
at the same time il will bear watching.
