GROWTH OLE BRYANIsM.

The English papers are beginning
to note the growth OF "Bryal ism," as
they term it. Everybody knows what
Organism means. Reduced to the
fewest words, 1t means the Chicago
platform. When these same papers
say that President Mckinley is drift
ing hopelessly and trying to satisfy
everybody, they but state the case as
it is. He is neither drawing the va
rous factions of his own party to-
gether, nor commaning any respect
from his opponents. The gold men
are doubtful of his backbone, while
the silver men are more than suspi-
cious of his professions in behalf of
bimetallism. Everybody feels that
the President is an amiable man, no.
body believes that he is strong one.
BY contrast with Mr.. Cleveland, he
may seem to he weaker and more vas
cillating than he really is. Whatever
may be said in disparagement Of Mr..
Cleveland as president, and much in
that direction may be said, ali must
admit that he was one Of the strong
esr men that ever sat in the presi-
Dental chair. His great dLtermina-
ton and strong character come out in
marked contrast with the conciliatory
but negative character of his success
sor. There is much truth IN the
charge that President Mckinley is
trying to please everybody. The in
evitable result is that nobody is sat
istied. McKinleyism, which has come
to mean fir more in 1898 than it
meant III 1896, is failure. And it is
because of this failure that there
seems to have been such a rapid
growth OF Organism. If the policy
decided on at a presidential election
proves a failure. the policy that was
rejected naturally comes to the front,
and it stays to the front and becomes
an issue in the next presidential cam
paigp. There ls a growth of Bryan
ism, but that is not the distinguishing
feature of it at the present time. The
remarkable feature OF Bryanism today
is the fact that it has taken dee;o.r
root in the minds of those who believe
in it than ever before. This deep con-
yiction cannot fail yet to exercise a
very marked influence upon all who
have been disappointed with McKin-
leyism. Those who believe in Bryan
ism, that Is the principles of the Chi
cago platform, are standing firmly to-
gether, serving as central body
around which any and all waverers
may gather, determined in their pur-
pose, and knowing no such word as
fail. They are a solid body whose
cohesion is iudestructable, while the
forces that triumphed over them in
1896 are slowly but surely disinte-
grating. This fact also emphasizes
the strength of Organism. The forces
that fought for Organism have lot
diintregated, while those who fought
for McKinleyism are disintregating.
This shows the strength of the me
and tue weakness of the other. The
English press thought Organism had
passed away, for it had been so as
.sured by the goldbug press Of this
country. 1t sees that it is unimpaired
and thinks there has been great
growth Of it. Its strength is the guar
antee Of its growth, and from now on
its growth will be rapid.-Salt Lake

THANKSGIVING HYMN.

We thank Thee, Father, for all that is
The CLEAN of the day, and the stars Of the
night
The flowers of our youth and the fruits Of
our prime,
And blessings that march down the path
way Of time.
We thank Thee, Q Father, for all that is
The sob of the tempest, the flow of the tear:
For never in blindness, and never in vain,
Thy mercy permitted q sorrow or pain.
We thank Thee, 0 Father, for song and for
feast
The harvest that glowed and the wealth
that increased:
For never a blessing encompassed earth S
child,
But Thou in Thy mercy looked downward
and smiled.
We thank Thee, Father of All, for Thy
power
OF aiding each other in lifes darkest hour;
The generous heart and the bOuntiful hand,
And all the soul help that sad souls under
stand.
We thank Thee, O Father, for days yet
For hopes that our future will call us to
Thee
That all our Eternity form, through Thy
love,
The Thanksgiving day in the mansions
above.

rived on the outskirts of the village, and
with wild yells announced their readiness
to enjoy the hospitality OF their white
brethren. The little settlement, which
now consisted of seven dwellings and four
public buildings, was soon astir with men,
women and children, who gave the Indians
a hearty welcome as they filed into the
large square in front of the Governors
house. Soon the roll of a drum announc-
ed the hour Of prayer, for no day was be-
gun without this religious service. Then
followed holiday of feasting and recrea-
ton, which continued not only during that
day but during the two succeeding days.
The usual routine of duties was suspend
ed; the children romped about in merry
play; the young men INDUCED in athletic
sports and games in friendly rivalry with
the Indians; the little American army of
twenty men, under the leadership of Miles
Standish, went through its drill and man
ual of arms, to the great delight and as
constituent Of the natives, while the wom-
en- busted themselves in the careful pre-
paration Of the excellent meals, which
were eaten in the open air.

There continues to be q good deal Of
talk in Washington as to the possibility
of an extra session next spring, but those
members Of the administration who have
studied the question seem to be generally
opposed to if. One cabinet officer said:
Had the elections resulted differently we
would have been obliged to get through
as much of the war legislation as possible
during the present session, but, as 1t Is,
we can scarcely do more than prepare the
way for future work. In all probability
the President will suggest the creation OF
separate commissions, one for Cuba, one
for Porto Rico and another for the Phil
ippines The settlement of the Cuban
question after the evacuation by the
Spanish will necessarily require deep
study and many personal visits to the
island According to the pledge made by
Congress we shall be bound to create d
new government for Cuba. The island
has been under the blight OF Spanish rule
since its discovery. and in attempting to
graft our republican ideas upon people
who have been accustomed to the worst
monarchical rule in the world, there will
arise problems which it will take time to
solve. II a commission is sent to the
PHILIPPINES, it will take them all Of two
months to get there after they are aR7
pointed. If they stay month, take a
month to come back, and spend another
month formulating their report. nearly
half a year will be consumed. This be
ing the case, it does not seem possible for
Congress to begin wise legislation this
spring; and the extra session, If one IS
called, would probably not be until the
fall or the late summer.

A THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
Here Is a Stuffing from a Famo
Chefs Notebook

L
Chefs Notebook.
There is a chef in one of the large hotels
Of New York who is famous for his roast
turkey. Turkey under his hands comes
out not only beautiful brown, but of a
delicious flavor quite different from any
other turkey that ever was seen. The
turkey meat is positively rich, and even
the white meat that is generally dry has
moist, spicy taste.
This is his recipe for roast turkey, which
he kindly consented to give the household
departments:
Clean the turkey with as little handling
as possible and rinse with water in which
a little baking soda has been dissolved.
Now break up about half pint Of bread
crumbs and into the crumbs chop two links
of pork sausage. Stuff the turkey with
this mixture and just before putting into
the oven bind salt pork on the breast of
the turkey. Remove the pork just before
the turkey is taken from the oven.
When the meat is carved it's favor will
be found very superior. This is particu-
larly to be recommended for the Thanks
giving turkey, which, with SO many other
dainties rivaling it, must be very appetite
ing to be enjoyed.
