4 cRITICAL rHANKsGLHLNG.

Not for a generation have the
American people had so many reasons
for celebrating the historic Thanks
giving festival with heartiness, nor yet
such abundant cause both to regret and
mourn the year that has passed and to
look forward to the future with anxi-
ETY. and apprehension.
The nation has passed through the
ordeal Of war and triumphed gloriously
Defeat, both swift and Overwhelming,
has been inflicted upon our enemies
While the sacrifice of human life and
public treasure on our part has been so
small in comparison with the magni-
tude of the results achieved, as to be
without parallel in history The last
vestage of a medieval and reactionary
European civilization has been removed
from the western hemisphere, and the
power of nation that once had world
wide empire has been broken and all
but Obliterated in the far Pacific.
Whether the opportunities thus opened
to human progress and civilization are
used wisely or unwisely, there can be
no dispute that the year now closing
marks an era in the worlds history.
1t is right that we should rejoice to
see the great republic recognized as
one of the great political powers of the
world. 1t is cause for Thanksgiving that
the lines of sectionalism have been
wiped out in the united movement of
the whole people against a common
enemy. 1t is cause for congratulation.
that the war has proved that sturdy
American manhood has been neither
corrupted by commercialism and wealth
nor enervated and enfeebled by the lux
ury and refnements of civilization. 1t is
lesson to the world, that the only
militia regiments deemed worthy and
fit for instant service in the field, when
the war broke out, came from Massa
chusetts and New York, the two com
monwealths that We're considered the
embodiment of wealth, commercfaIism,
luxury and refinement, and whose PEG
pie incurred the impatient criticism of
the exuberant west because of their
energetic protests against rushing hast
lily and needlessly into war
The lavish expenditure of money by
millionaires for the benefit of the SOL
diers, their offers of aid to the govern
ment, and their eager desire to identity
themselves personally with the common

They are thankful as follows:
Sagasta, because he can draw his
salary.
Secretary Alger, because nothing has
hit him yet.
Theodore Roosevelt, because Croker
was bound to talk.
Secretary Long, because everybody
speaks well of him.
Gen. Shafter, because his shadow has
grown considerably less.
Little Alphonso, because his throne
has not been thrown down.
Admiral Dewey, because he could re-
fuse $4,000 for a magazine article.
President Dwight of Yale, because he
resigned before that foot ball game.
President Mckinley, because the
democrats didn't capture the house.
Admirals Sampson and schley, be-
cause their friends have stopped talk
ing.
William J. Bryan, because he kept
out of sight and hearing till after cleo
ton.
Lieut. Hobson, because he has passed
the kissing business on 10 an under
study.
Gov. Wolcott, because he carried Bos-
ton as well as the state, and the North
ampton bank furry did not prove a
good opposition issue.

1t was an object lesson to social re-
formers to see this heterogeneous body
of men, touching elbows in the drill,
all subsisting upon the same coarse
fare, sharing the same drudgery of
camp duty and bearing one anothers
burdens on the tedious march. The eX-
perience and the knowledge of it must
go far towards the unification of the
people For all these things the country
may rejoice.
For those who gave their lives to the
nation, as well as for those who braved
bullets and fever but happily escaped
unframed, there is the reward of the
eternal gratitude of great people and
an imperishable glory that is applaud
homes, this is a sad Thanksgiving In
many a house there is mourning,
though from it none went forth to bat
tie. To any can sweeter comfort be
given than to those who now appreciate
and are touched by the answer which
Joseph Warren made to one who would
dissuade him from going to Bunker
hill?
"Dulce ct decorum est pro patria mort"
And now that the great republic has
come to another crisis in it's career,
may not means yet be found to pre-
serve the traditions and the principles
Of the fathers, and save the nation
from following in the footsteps of the
militant nations of the old world? 1t
is said that we are now a world power.
But we have always been world
power. The American revolution was
the beginning of a revolution in Europe
Since the administration of Washing
ton, America has exercised a strong
political influence upon the people Of
Europe. and through the people upon
their governments. Our constitutions
laws and institutions have been
more often discussed and more often
initiated than those of any other nation

doning our principles of human rights

President Charles r. Adams of tine
state board of trade adds his authori-
ty to the protest against Philippine
annexation. In his annual address he
said: Labor and capital have tile
right to demand that their interest
shall not be jeopardized or prosperity
further delayed by any doubtful terri
torial expansion. Trade will follow the
flag only as we are able to meet the
competition Of other nations, and we
cannot deny them commercial rights to
our colonial possessions without ex-
pecting to receive the same treatment
in return. What this country needs is
market expansion for our products; and
the best way to secure that result is
by making known to all markets that
we manufacture and can furnish the
most desirable and best goods for the
money that are produced by any indus
trial centre"
This is a matter-of-fact statement Of
a general truth that will be admitted
by every merchant when he is consid-
ering the extension of his own business,
but it is persistently ignored by the
eXpansionist when he flaps his spread
eagle wings and scars away into the
clouds of manifest destiny" world

ANOTHER WAR INVESTIGATION.

The Massachusetts Reform Club has
appointed d war investigation commit
tee, which appeals for information in
regard to the recent conflict with Spain.
The duty of this committee, which is
composed of Col. Charles r. Goldman
and Corp. James B. Gardner Of Boston.
Samuel Bowles of Springfield, Robert S.
Gorham of Newton and Charles Warren
of Dedham, is to receive and put in
proper form testimony from the New
England states, as to the management
Of the war. The makeup of the com
mittee is excellent, and announcement
is made in advance that there is no in
tention to attack any person. but to aid
in making clear to the proper authori-
ties the causes of unnecessary suffer
ing among the soldiers, with a view to
making impossible a recurrence of such
distress in the>. future. Persons fur
nishing information, based on personal
knowledge, to the committee, may be
sure that it will be carefully and intel
ligently considered and presented to the
authorities.

THE OLD THANKSGIVING.

This is the day of all the year
That's not like any other.
When to my memOry's eyes appear
My childhood home and mother
About it clustered all the joys
Thas made life worth the living;
Somehow not even Time destroys
The halo round Thanksgiving
That day the family far and wide.
All that to come We're able
Three generations, sat with pride
Around the Well-filled table.
All. then the hours seemed always fair:
The skies were never murky.
The only clouds that filled the air
Rose from the smoking turkey.
Then father. at the tables head
With wife and children round me
Their children, too, the Lord he said
Be praised, who thus has crowned mep'
How gaYly every jest would 60
How gentle our communion
When, once year. we'd surely know
Those pleasures Of reunion.
They with the years. went one by one.
The old familiar faces
And now the day comes round with none
To fin the loved ones places
Alas Ills sad for me to be
Last Of the family living
To sit alone with Memory
And strive to keep Thanksgiving.

interest chiefly because it promises
to lead to a definite statement of facts
upon which many charges some of
them vague and others more direct
have been based. If one may judge
from the tone of Pennsylvania news
papers, there is slight expectation that
the senator Will be convicted and Mr.
Quay does not appear to be worried
over the latest turn in his affairs. Now
that the subject Of his alleged irregu-
larities is regularly before the courts
the public can afford to suspend judg-
ment. The question of his conduct in
relation TO state funds is an interesting
one, and any light thrown upon it Will
be welcomed.

Now it is a shipbuilders' trust, and
the government is likely to be the first
to feel its pressure. The navy's pur-
chase of tugs, yachts and ocean steam
ers, and the prospective increase of
American commerce fill the ship
wrights' souls with visions of booming
business, and, of course, it will no long
er be profitable to build war ships at
moderate prices Agents of the great
shipyards have already got together
and talked of putting up the rates. As
only three concerns in the country have
had the capacity for building warships
of 5000 tons burden or more, they have
had a monopoly of the business, but
the desire to keep the plants in opera
ton has conduced to low prices. Now,
however the three firms that have
contracts for the new monitors propose
to put up the price, and in that case
the navy department will have to annul
the contracts or seriously modify the
plans. The fifteen new warships which
Secretary Long will recommend in his
annual report are likely to be relatively
more expensive than those last ordered,
and it remains to be seen how the rise
of prices will be viewed by congress.

One reason for the longevity IF Yer
mont governors has perhaps been
brought out by the exposure just made
at Montpelier. Vermont governors do
not waste time and energy in pushing
junketing bills through the legislature.
They stand not upon the order Of their
going, but go at once, and the state
has to foot the bills. At least, that
seems to have been the policy of eX-
GOV. Grout When he yearned for re-
taxation from the dry routine of Off
cial duties he hied himself to New
York, Washington or Nashville, took
along the adjutant general, together
with whatever friends he wanted for
companionship and whatever militia
seemed necessary TO make a show. He
sent flowers to the ladies, distributed
maple sugar along the route to sweeten
the regard of the inhabitants toward
the Green Mountain state, and charged
everything up to the state. In all, he
incurred expenses to the amount of
$7OOO for which there was not the
slightest warrant in law. 1t is clear
that if Vermont governors do not have
a high old time, the fault is their own.
Jones, he pays the freight"
