The 0fhCial Paper Of San Juan County.
THURSDAY. NOV. "a. 1898.
LET Us GIVE THANKS.

Not for many years have the people
of this favored land of ours had more
or greater cause for Thanksgiving than
they have today. The war which was
thrust upon the nation in the cause OF
humanity has brought all sections OF
our common country together into
closer bonds of national unity and pur-
pose and has made the nations flag
respected the wide world over as 1t
never has been before. It has inn
measurably extended the sphere Of the
nations power and influence and has
opened the way for vast extensions Of
American trade and commerce. It
has freed millions of people from the
domination of most cruel an tyran-
nous power and has opened to them q
vista of peace and progress far beyond
their present ability to comprehend
Besides these we have occasion for
thankfulness for our abundant har-
vests, the increase of our trade and
commerce and the strengthening, even
in time of war, of the national credit,
all summed up in President McKin-
ley's words as "the continued pros
perity of the people" Our sales ex-
ceeded our purchases by upward Of
$500. 900, 900. The value of our staple
crops, other produce, and live stock
reached the great figure of $5,116, O0O,-
900. OF Agricultural products alone
we exported gross value Of 1871 900, /.
900, the largest sngle-year total on
record.
These are material things, but they
are the sort of things which appeal
most strongly to the American people.
It is we'll that one day in the year be
set apart for special Thanksgiving OBJ
servance and that our attention be
particularly directed to the manifold
blessings which we enjoy. Well may
we pray with Lincoln that this "gov-
eminent of the people, for the people
and by the people shall not perish from
the EARTH"

THE fusion party in this state could
not have been moro nicely ''knocked
out" if the United States Supreme
Court had pronounced it "combina-
ton In restraint of trade" and there
fore illegal under the antitrust law. az
it did the powerful railroad organiza.
ton known as the "Joint Traffic As
ISOLATION. BY the way, the decision
which has made the dissolution of this
great combination necessary, is hardly
in line with the ordinary Populistic
opinions of the nations highest judicial
tribunal.

NOTWITHSTANDING the absence of
any specific promises to that end, such
as were made by the Populists two
years ago to catch votes and then ig-
nored by them when the votes were
caught, it is to be hoped that the Re-
publican legislature will do its duty
to the farmers of Eastern Washington
by compelling the railroads to very
materially reduce their grain rates
from the eastern, southern and central
parts Of the state to the Sound ports.
After calling attention to the figures
given by the Railroad Gazette show
ing the immense earnings and profits
of the Great Northern, the Spokane
Spokesman-Review refers to the com.
bination undoubtedly existing between
this road and the Northern Pacific and
the o. r. & n. in the matter of grain
rates and says:
''This gigantic combination is charging
our wheat growers rates six times as
great as eastern lines charge for hauling
grain from Chicago and st. Louis to the
seaboard. It is state haul, and the
safe has power to reduce the rate. If the
grain charge were cut in two in the mid
die, the roads here would still be paid
three times as much per mile as eastern
lines are charging, and there would be
saved annually to our wheat growers
more than million dollars. Such a re-
duction would add seven cents per bush
el to the market price of every bushel OF
wheat grown in Eastern Washington,
$40 to every thousand bushels Of wheat
which the farmers have to sell. 1t would
add 500 to the income of the average
wheat grower. More than million dol
lars which is now drained out of thu
country every year to pay dividends OF
watered stocks would be kept at home
and spent with the lumber dealer, thu
country merchant and the schools
The Spokesman-Review, by the
way, is the principal Eastern Wash.
ingt9p organ of the party which wa.
so profuse III its promises two ar.
ago to remedy this wrong and utterl,
failed to do so.

inspecting Mining Properties.

The visit of London syndicate to
inspect the mining properties Of West
ern Washington is an encouraging in
dication. For the past year and half
it has been almost impossible to in
terest any outside capitalists in the
wonderful showings of mineral wealth
in Washington, because all eyes were
turned to Alaska, but the undoubted
mineral wealth of the counties border
ing on Puget Sound must eventually
be appreciated by eastern and foreign
investors, and development aud ample
returns will follow investigation.

ONE of the noteworthy results Of the
war is that the privates, the officers,
the regulars. the militia and the volun.
teers all agree that the trouble with the
volunteer army was lack of trained
officers. The application is, plainly,
to increase the regular army, and in
the event of war make it, so to speak, a
training school for the volunteers.

DEM0CRACY's utter abandonment OF
the principle of sound money, in its
greed for office at any cost, is shown
by the fact that not a single democratic
state convention this year adopted a
sound money platform. In thirty-one
states the Democrats either adopted
straightout free silver resolutions OF
Endorsed the Chicago platform of '96,
or both, while in ten states, including
New York and Pennsylvania: they
evaded the question entirely.

Now the way seems clear for the vel
low journals to engage in the task OF
exposing the deep, dark and diabolieal
conspiracy which Keeps Colonel Billy
Bryan ia such safe place in the army
that he doesn't even have All opportuni
ty to shoot off his mouth as he would
like to. Aud what an outrage it was, too,
for his adopted state to take advantage
of his absence aud 60 Republican.

THE Tammany candidate for COVER
nor of New York ia doubtless ready
now to concede Colonel Roosevelt's
ability as Rough Rider" inasmuch
as he has ridden 10000 over Demo-
cratic majority of nearly $4,000 in the
preceding New York election.

ITEMS FROM AMERICUs.
More Than Fl 900 Bales of Cotton
Received There This Season.

Americas, Ca, Oct. 16.-The result of the
recent state election win bring many Pop
ulists of Sumter county back to the Dem
ocratic fold. There are many good men
here who quit the old party to follow Wat
son. and the return of these to the Demo-
cratic fold would be hailed with pleasure.
One Of the most prominent Popuiists in
the county, and holding a high position in
that party, stated yesterday that he con-
sidered the party dead beyond resurrec-
lion, and henceforth ne would be an indie
pendent. This is construed as meaning tnat
ne WIN soon be supporting the Democratic
ticket as OF yore, as there can be no lhde-
pendent party here. And many other Pop
ulists win do likewise
Lieut. l.. c. Hoyle of Company j, Third
United States Volunteers, with Private
Dean Turpin, returned home Friday from
Santiago upon a furlough of thirty days.
This company was raised in Americas by
Capt w. K. Wheatley, and is attached to
Col. Rays regiment of immunes. Inc
Americas company is stationed at Bara-
Goa, and is In fine condition.
With the movement Of troops to Georgia
for the winter, it is expected that the Sec
ond Brigade, Second Division of the First
Army Corps, which has been assigned to
Americas, will come among the first. Brig
Gen. j. P. Sanger will be in command here.
The people of Americas generally are anX-
ious to have the three regiments sent here
as soon as possible, as their presence VIII
no doubt help business materially. The
city has completed all arrangements rela-
tive to the camp site, and stands ready TO
welcome Uncle Sans fighters.
Americas has received over 21,000 bales
of cotton to date More than 800 bates were
received a the warehouses yesterday by
wagon. and the proceeds went Tong way
towards dischaTging the farmers obhga-
lions, as wen as helping trade materially
AT least $4,000 bales win be marketed in
Americas this season and if only fair
price could be obtained the farmers could
pay out of debt. AS it is, the outlook is
anything than encouraging.

HEALTH AT suLLrvAN's ISLAND.
Col. j. b. RawIes Denies the Report
of sickness There.

Charleston, S. c., Oct. ia statement
having appeared in several papers, under
date line of Charleston. Oct. 10, in which
it was said that the health of the army
post at Sulivan's Island. was causing
the commandant much concern, and that
400 men were sick in quarters, Col. J. B.
Rawles, in command, was shown the ar
ticle and made the following statement:
Il deem it my duty, in the interest of
all concerned. to most emphatically deny
the truthfulness of the assertions therein
made. Ii is not an exaggeration simply
but a misrepresentation of the most glar-
ing character as to the health conditions
of the troops on Sullivans Island.
The sanitary features Of the post nor
the sickness throughout the command
have never been, nor are they now, such
as to occasion apprehension, for the all
ments have not generally been of ma
ture to occasion much concern Out of
a strength present of $50 officers and men,
the sick book this morning shows seven
ty-five aiing, while but sixteen of these
are in the hospital. Nine are virtually
well men, whose discharge therefrom will
occur at an early date. OF the tifty-nine
men sick in quarters not great number
considering the strength of the command,
none are by any means seriously ill, but
have a variety of disorders, pains, aches
and some injuries, with a sprinklng of
malarial fever of a light type. OF typhoid
fever five cases exist to-day, but any
thing approaching an epidemic of this or
any other disease, now or in the near
past, at Sullivan's Island is more than
has been apprehended or even thought
possible by those familiar with the salub-
rious climate"

American Market Only One to Dis

London. Oct. 16.-Business on the stock
exchange last week was small, the pre-
vailing influence discouraging buyers.
Though war is not looked for between
Great Britain and France, the Fashoda
affair is a grave matter while the report
ed military conspiracy and the strikes in
France, with the activity of the anarchists
are additional disturbing factors. The only
wonder is that the replapse in prices was
no greater.
The American market was the only one
to display strength and firmness, these
characteristics being entirely due to New
York buying. AT the close of the week,
however Americans were weaker.
