THANKSGIVING AT HAND.

Tomorrow viii be Thanksgiving day.
Some win wonder what they have to
be thankful for, and others Will be
too ungrateful, perhaps, to feel thank
ful for anything. But whether we have
a cause or not, let us imagine one. If
We are lucky enough to have turkey on
the dinner table, let US eat it. If we
cannot have turkey let US eat what we
can get. If we fail in this we can go
hungry. At any rate, It is proper to
be thankful.
The president, in his wisdom, issued
a proclamation to that effect, and the
governor, having no trumps, followed
suit. We are told to be thankful, and
it is not becoming to disobey the com
mander-in-chie of the army and navy
before peace negotiations are formally
closed. To refuse to return thanks to-
morrow would be almost, if not quite,
as reasonable as it was to shudder at
the mention of Alger while the war was
in progress.
Thanksgiving day is observed by
every American who reads the papers,
or keeps an almanac. It has grown
from Puritan feast day to national
holiday The principal ceremony is
eating, which accounts for the fact that
our adopted fellow-citizens who hail
from foreign lands very readily fall into
the custom of observing the day.
1t is always better to laugh than to
cry, better to cheer than to grumble,
better to praise than to blame, better to
give thanks than to howl calamity,
even if there is nothing to be thankful
for but the day set apart for such a
purpose.

eoLDeUGs TEEN AND NOW.

In 1896 a goldbug organ might have
said: The silver advocates are piping
silver shrilly when every half-grown
boy in Utah knows that silver is only
an incident, a catch word
It would have been untrue, certain
ly; but not more so then than it is this
year. No honest silver organ would
have said it then; nor would it now.
In 1886 a newspaper that endorsed
McKinley's policies, that affiliated with
a local organization, protesting fealty
to the Hanna organization, that cham
pioned a candidate for congress who
was defending the st. Louis platform
at the same time, might have said:
1.-The silver creed is a mere shibboleth
for the year, because all Utah believes
in silver"
But no friend of silver would have
done or said such things.
Two years ago there were 13,491 vot-
ers in Utah who cast their votes
against the free and independent coin
age of silver. There were 13.491 citi-
zens of the state who, in the most
practical way, endorsed and ap-
plauded'' McKinley's policies.
This year there were over $4,000 Utah
votes cast for a believer in the st.
Louis platform, an administration Re
publican. There are 1000 voters in the
state at present, according to the re-
turns, who endorse and applaud" Nc
Kinley's policies.
And yet we are told that AL Utah
believes in silver" SO does all the
country for that matter. But all the
people of the United States do not be-
lieve in the free and independent coin
age of silver. Neither do all the people
of Utah.
If they do some of them have a pecul-
lar way Of showing it. They are like
the cross-eyed soldier; they don't shoot
the way they look.

revolutions than have the wheels Of a
waterbury watch. There is. one or two
going on right now. There will be one
or two tomorrow.
In the DISPATCHES printed this morn
ing it will be seen that the govern
ment in Salvador is in imminent peril.
The rebels have induced Guatemala
and Costa Rica to recognize their bel
ligerency. The government, on the
other hand, is backed by Honduras and
Nicaragua.
Regalados and Horacio Villavicencio
are struggling for the presidency. One
or the other will set it. probably, and
the opposition will be put to death.
That is the way such things are done
in Central America. In the United
States it is different: the defeated pres
idential candidate is not put to death:
he is only bounded. slandered. ridi-
culed and misreoresented by the hire
lings Of the administration. They never
kill men outright for aspiring to the
presidency in this country.

year, it will not be due to the fact that
there is a. scarcity of games, for from
now on there will be several contests
a week.
At 2 o'clock on Thanksgiving day the
Elks and Y M c. A. Vii battle for
supremacy on the Fort Douglas grid
iron, and it is bound to be a fight to the
finish. for it is the final game of the
season between these rival teams.
To the victor will belong the cham
pionship of the state, and each eleven
is resolved that the laurel shall be
theirs.
There is not a shadow of a doubt but
that the spectators of this game Will
be rewarded by seeing the most scien-
tific exhibition Of football ever given
here. AS a proof of this, it is only
necessary to state that the Y NJ. c. y.
eleven has three players who have been
members of college teams during the
past two years. Wilson and Kellar
played with Cornell and University of
Nebraska, respectively.
The latest addition to the eleven is
Howard, formerly center on the Uni
Versity of Missouri.
The Elks are extremely reticent in
regard to giving any points on their
team, and from this it can safely be
inferred that they have something up
their sleeve, and intend springing a big
surprise when the game is called.
Dykman, who has played such a re-
markedly strong game at tackle the
past two years, came down from Bing-
ham last evening, and will line up with
the Christians on Thursday, in his old
position.
The following is the probable lineup
OF the Y. M. c. A:
Right end-Van Colt.
Right tackle-Dykman
Right guard-Anderson
Center-HoWard
Left guard-Garff
Left tackle-Kellar.
Left end-Glendinning.
Quarter back-Howell.
Right half back-Augustus
Left alf-back-Allen
Full back-Wilson.
Another game scheduled for Thanks
giving is that between a Provo eleven
and team composed for the most part
of students of the University of Utah.
1t is contended that this contest is for
the heavyweight championship of the
state, but as neither eleven VII aver
age over 155 pounds IL weight, it is Diff
ficult to understand upon what grounds
! their assertion is made

SIX YEARS OF SILENCE.
Well-kept Vow of a Prisoner In
California Prison.
San Francisco Chronicle.l

(San Francisco Chronicle.)
Edkard j. Cunningham was released
from San Quentin yesterday, after
serving a sentence of six years for bur
glary committed in Orange county, and
with his liberation there passed from
the prison walls one of the Strangest
characters that ever wore the striped
garb of the penitentiary
When Cunningham was landed with
in the walls of San Quentin prison he
turned to the sheriff who was conduct
ing him thither from the southern part
of the state and SWore q heavily SOL
emn oath that no word would escape
his lips during the period of his incar-
ceration. Cunningham stood by his
oath through the long, weary years of
his sentence, and his tongue never
loosened until he stepped without the
prison walls yesterday free man.
Whenever it became necessary for
Cunningham to communicate his needs
or wants to others, he did so in writ
ing, or by motions. After being con-
fined in the prison a short time &.e was
thought to be insane, and was sent to
the Ukiah asylum. Here he was con-
fined but a short time, for it was soon
aScertained he was in his right mind
and merely acting in a stubborn man
ner. Word was sent to the prison h6s
llCldlS, ana Guard Miller WAS sent TO the
asylum to bring the prisoner back.
When near Santa Rosa he jumped
through a car window but was cap
tured after hard chase. After his re-
turn he still preserved an inviolable
silence. and was put into what is
known as crank alley. Here all kinds
of influences were brought to bear upon
him to cause him to speak, but with
out avail. He also refused to have his
hair cut, and when released yesterday
morning his hair was measured, and
was found to be fifty-four inches in
length.
When relieved of his prison garb a
smile overspread his countenance. Sew
eral people spoke to him, but he only
grinned. Once outside the prison gate,
Cunningham made up for lost time. He
condemned every one around the prison
for his confinement. When asked how
he managed to control himself and
preserve an unbroken silence for so
many. wears, he angrily replied that he
had no explanation to make.

AS A CHURCH SAVER.

For a typical Chicago alderman to
pose as the personifcation of political
purity and civic virtue, would probably
excite the admiration of all the heelers
in the city.
But every inhabitan above the level
of the illustrious Hinkey Dink would
be very apt to laugh and wink and
treat it as joke.
The people of Utah, Mormons, Jews
and Gentiles, with the possible excep-
ton of a little coterie of sorehead poll
ticians who seem inclined to take
themselves seriously, are enjoying
similar joke this fall
The Tribune is actually posing as the
saviour of the Mormon peoplel
Sunday morning it said: I'VE tried
to save the Mormon priests and people
from this shame and disgrace" Yes
terday it said: "The (Tribune) person
alities were to try to save the Mormon
church, the state of Utah, and B. H.
Roberts himself from the reproach and
shame that would follow Roberts cleo
ton"
How pathetic! To think of this
journalistic martyr placing itself de-
liberately on the altar for the sake of
1.-The Mormon priests" and ''to save the
Mormon church" And to think that its
choice assortment of salvation was left
untouched! 1t is enough to cast our
pious neighbor down and cause it to
forswear the saving of churches as a
business.
Away back in early days there was a
Hoosier circuit rider who was mot
much Of a preacher, but great ex-
horter" He began series of revivals
in a frontier settlement, but the peo-
pie, while attentive, We're not excit-
able enough to suit. At the close of the
services one evening he requested all
who desired salvation to rise No one
rose. Another hymn was sung. He
then asked for all who wanted him to
pray for them to stand up. No one
seemed to take especial interest in his
peculiar plan of salvation. "AH who
desire to go with me to heaven will
please rise he pleaded. The congre-
CATION never stirred. Then keep your
seats and go to hell he fairly bawled
And this appears to be the way a.
morning contemporary feels about it.

The Worlds Letter Bag.
hondon Tit-Bits.l


Two-thirds of all the letters which
pass through the postoffices of the
world are written by and sent to people
who speak English. There are sub
stantially 100000 900 persons speaking
colloquially one or another of the ten
or twelve chief modern languages and
OF these about % per cent, or $50, GOO, 900
persons, speak English. About 90000,-
600 speak Russian, 100000 German,
55,000000 French, As, 600 900 Spanish, 25,-
900, 900 Italian, and 1900, 600 Portuguese,
and the balance Hungarian, Dutch,
Polish Flemish, Bohemian, Gaelic,
Roumanian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish
and Norwegian. Thus, while only one
quarter of those who employ the ia
cilities of the postal departments of
civilized governments speak, as their
native tongue, English, two-thirds of
those who correspond do so in the Eng
fish language.
This situation arises from the fact
that SO large a share of the commercial
business of the world is done in Eng
lish, even among those who do not
speak English as their native language.
There are, for instance, more than
10000 pCstoficeS in India, the business

midas total population, which is near
ly 300 600, OO0 fewer than 300, 900 persons
either speak or understand English.
Though 10000, 900 speak or understand
Russian, the business of the Russian
post department is relatively small, the
number of letters sent throughout the
czaT's empire amounting to less than
one-tenth the number mailed in Great
Britain alone, though the population
of Great Britain is considerably less
than one-half of the population of Rus
STA in Europe.

But there are some men and some. pa
pers with whom it were impossible, to
associate the idea of innocence.
In view Of its present attitude. will
our furious contemporary pause in its
hurting of anathemas and epithets long
enough to explain the following from
its editorial columns? Referring to po-
lygamy several months ago, it said:
Again, in considering this matter,
thoughtful people will not lose sight
of the fact that human passions can
not always be killed by a proclama-
ton, or the habits of years made to
lose their influences. Beyond all that,
the matter of faith was not touched
upon by the pronunciamento. 1t went
only to the point of plural marriages.

change amounts to a transformation.
We await a reply.

SOME GOOD, SHORT STORIES

casually that ne was a stout, good
looking man, and that he wore q hand

gage and paid in advance, remarking
that he had merely stopped over en-
route to Galveston, and his things had
gone on. Next morning there was a
terrific uproar. The stranger, II
seemed, had been robbed. According
to his story, he woke up, to find the
room in disorder, and his coat, vest
and shirt gone. He claimed to have
had a gold watch, several hundred dol
lars and number of valuable papers
in the pockets of his coat and vest,
and three diamond studs in the shirt.

The Timid Led By the Blind.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

81 saw most remarkable occurrence
on the street the other day." said a
professional man, "and it made a deep
impression on me. A lady came down
Euclid avenue and stopped at the cor
ner of Bond street. She evidently
wanted to cross to the other side of the
avenue. She was not young woman,
and did not look strong. There was
quite a jam of vehicles in the street,
motor-cars, wagons and bicycles and
the passage. AS she heSitated, a man
came up Bond street and paused beside
her. He was a well-dressed man and
carried q heavy cane, which 1 noticed
he used constantly, as if he might be
a little lame.

ladylike way, and the man with the
cane touched his hat.

offered his arm. AS they crossed the
street 1 followed close behind them.
The man with the cane was very care
full. He halted several times, but they
reached the other side without mis-

WHEN WALL STREET PRosPERs.

Banker Henry Clews has issued an
other circular dealing in election after
math. He is pleased to note the gains
made by the Republican party even
in the strongest silver states. He says
nothing about the goldbug losses in
eastern states. But the Wall street
politician regards every Republican
vote as a protest against independent
bi1netailism. He considers every Re
publican gain as an endorsement of
gold recommendation. He says:
1--WE have now had another federal
election, which reaffirms the decision
of the country that gold and not silver
shall be the money of contracts and
the basis of our currency system"
Utah Republicans who hailed single
standard prosperity and endorsed Nc
Kinley's policies were wen aware of
the aid and encouragement they We're
giving the money sharks and blood
suckers Of the nation.
AS a practical Illustration of the ben
ehts derived from the Republican vic
tory, Mr. Clews recites this fact:
During the past week, Wall street
has continued subject to the upward
impulse impaired by the result of the
elections"
Wall street is like a vulture's roost
When it thrives, some one pays the
penalty. It lives off the dead and dying
financial institutions of the country.
1t is built upon the wrecks of fallen
fortunes and the financial needs of
furnishing enterprises. 1t is a place
where lambs are plucked and bones
are picked. When Wall street thrives
the goldbug banker thinks the country
prospers.
Wall street is not the nation, al
though, at times, one is led to look
upon it as the seat Of government.

A BROAD INNOCENCE.

The Republican organ reiterates its
sensational charge that plural mar
riages are being solemnized in the Nor
mon church.
Sunday morning it said that 1.-The
practice OF plural marriages has not
ceased; that there are women in po-
lygamy here who We're in short clothes
when the manifesto was issued"
Yesterday it repeated the accusation,
and said: I'VE know it is true"
Well, if the Tribune knows it is true,
why, of course, that settles it. But
such a charge is serious, if any charge
that the Tribune makes is entitled to
serious consideration. If plural mar
riages are being consummated in the
Mormon church today, it is in defiance
Of solemn pledges, and in violation of
the state constitution.
No reasonable man. with fund of
experience and common sense from
which to draw, ever imagined that
marital relations or family ties, recog-
nized as sacred for halls century,
could be severed at once by an edict,
legislative or ecclesiastic.
In fact. the Salt Lake Tribune it.
self ignored the matter for five years,
during which time it supported for Of
fee, elective and aDpointive, men and
women involved in the system of 20
lygamy; and, in turn, it received their
support.
It has endorsed the candidacy of
John Henry Smith; that of Angus NJ.
Cannon; that Of Andrew Jensen: that
of Edna L. Smith; and, doubtless, doz-
ems Of others in the different campaigns
from the year before Utah's admission
down to the last election day. 1t dares
not deny this, SO it pleads ignorance of
human nature, and tries to spread the

THE THINGS MEN DO.

Is. E. Kiser in Cleveland Leader.)
There was man with task to do;
He worked away with a happy heart,
And when his work was placed on view
Twas perfect in its every part
1t was a. little thing but not
A blemish marred what he had wrought.
There was man with a task to do,
He gave his life to it, and yet,
When he dropped his tools, at last, he
knew
That flaws were there, and deeply set!
Twas vast. the thing that claimed his
toll
Too bad that flaws were there to spoil!
Two men who had two tasks to do
From earthly scenes have passed away;
The world applauds one of the two,
The Others name is lost today
The small and perfect things forgot
Men praise the big thing that was
wrought
