II DEJMOCRAIIC JUBILEE.

In his Thanksgiving proclama-
tion, President Mckinley is mighty
right in acknowledging that his
administration was ''compelled to
take up the sword IN the cause Of
humanity.''
It was the Democratic party
which thus compelled the McKin-
ley administration. Its urgent
demand that the awful sufferings
of oppressed Cuba be no longer
permitted at our very doors we're
for many months denounced by
the Republican party as an incen-
diary attempt to plunge this coun-
try into a bloody war. But it
bravely and humanely persisted
until, at last, the facts of Cuta's
appalling martyrdom becoming
overwhelmingly apparent, the
cautious and timorous Republicans
could no longer resist public senti-
ment, and war with the tyrant
Spain was declared.
The glory of that war, as it re-
bounds to the good Of humanity,
belongs to the Democratic party.
But the thanksgiving for what it
has accomplished in the way of
freeing an oppressed people should
be participated in by all the people
of this great country-or Of the
civilized world, for that matter.
A fine and noble thing has been
done-let us hope without ulterior
motives Of territorial conquest and
imperial expansion and that ma
tion which has done it should be
grateful to the Almighty for being
chosen as the instrument Of bis
benignant will.
Democrats and Republicans alike
should Join in thanksgiving on
Thursday, November "a, as invited
to do by President Mckinley.
Republicans should not hang back
because of the fact that the special
reason for thanksgiving arises from
Democratic insistence upon this
this nations doing its duty by
smaller and downtrodden nation.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

The approaching November brings to
mind the custom of our ancestors, hal
lowed by time and rooted in our most
sacred traditions, of giving thanks to
Almighty God for all the blessings He
has vouchsafed to us durin the past year.
Few years in our history have afforded
such cause for thanksgivingas this. We
have been blessed by abundant harvests,
our trade and commerce have been Won
derfully increased, our public credit has
been improved and strengthened, all Sec
tions Of our common country have been
brought together and knitted into closer
bonds of national purpose and unity.
The skies have been for time dark
ened by the cloud of war, but AS we we're
compelled to take up the sword IN the
cause Of humanity, we are permitted to
rejoice that the conflict has been of brief
duration and the losses we have had to
mourn, though grievous and important,
have been so few, considering the great
aesults accomplished, as to inspire us
with gratitude and praise to the Lord of
Hosts. We may laud and magnify His
holy name that the cessation of hostilities
came so soon as to spare both sides the
countless SORROWS and disasters that at
tend protracted war.
I do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens as we'll those at home as those
who may be at sea or sojourning in for
eign lands, to set apart and observe
Thursday, the Oath day of November, as
day of national thanksgiving, to come
together in their several places of wor-
ship, for service of praise and thanks to
Almighty God for all the blessings of the
year; for the mildness of the seasons, and
the fruitfulness of the soil; for the con-
tinued prosperity of the people; for the
devotion and valor of our couutrymen;
for the glory of our victory, and the hope
of righteous peace, and to pray that the
divine guidance which has brought us
heretofore to safety and honor may be
graciously continued in theyears to come.
In witness whereof, etc.

The so-called bread riots that lately
took place in Milan and other cities OF
Italy indicated condition of affairs
that was more desperate than ap-
peared on the surface. 1t Is true that
the people were suffering for bread. for
1t so happened that In every great
wheat-producing country in the world
the crop Of 1897 was short one. In
Germany. France and England. where
q considerable portion of the wheat
consumed 10 usually OF domestic pro-
duction. almost the entire consumption
had to be obtained abroad. The store
houses. besides the United States. from
which those countries have depended
for their wheat have been Russia. In
dia. Egypt and Argentina. but last
year Russia had no surplus to export.
India had very little, Egypt next to
none. and Argentina harvested only
enough for home consumption. The
result was that bread was dear and the
people were hungry. Italy was In a
worse situation than any of the coun-
tries importing wheat for domestic
herself by attempting to maintain n
standing as a military and naval pow
er that was beyond her possibilities.
What Germany and France did. Italy
strove to duplicate. She wished to he
classed as one Of the great powers Of
Europe. and she drew the life blood out
OF her people In the attempt. realizing
only failure. She entered into triple
alliance with Germany and Austria.
and tried to maintain position OF
equality with each. With popula ton
Of about 3O.OO0.OOO. she kept a perma-
nent peace establishment Of 216. 235
men. with compulsory reserve Of

were compelled to spend from three to
nineteen years In the army. which was
a fearful drain on the productive ener-
giles OF the country. Besides this large
number Of soldiers the Italian navy
had 21,I24 men on the active list and
$4,000 on the reserve list. making n to-
tai Of nearly 2.25O.OOO men who were
not only withdrawn from the various
Industries Of the Kingdom. but had to
be supported In idleness. The result
was that general stagnation In bust
ness and enormous taxation were uni
versal In the country. labor was unem-
plOyed. and those who found work re-.
ceive starvation wages. The increase
in the price Of bread. even though
small. brought want and hunger to
people who are always on the verge OF
starvation. The high price Of bread
was only an incident that drove the
people to riots which showed the really
intolerable condition Of affairs ali
over Italy. That country was attempt
ing to do what the frog did when Il

similar result may follow the attempt.
