( THANKSGIVING day was very gen.
orally observed by the residents of
our city. Nearly every business
place was closed and the streets
had Sabbath like appearance.
The day was unusually pleasant,
the mercury at noon marking fifty
degrees in the shade. There was
service In several of the churches
and appropriate sermons preached
to fair sized congregations. Tur-
key dinners were the rule ana the
absence of that roy al bird from the
table was an exception. The thea
tres were literally patronized in the
afternoon and evening, as money
seems to be abundant and a dispo-
sltion to spend it seemed to be very
general. The foot ball games also
attracted many visitors. Good or
der was generally maintained and
few excuses of any kind were APP
parent. The street cars were lib
orally patronized and on every side
there were indications of prosperity
and enjoyment on the part of our
citizens. The people OF this coun-
TRY have certainly good reason to
be thankful, tor the distribution Of
the good things of this lite in no
other is more general, or the great
mass OF men more proftably EN-
ployed. All have good reason to
be thankful and it is to be hoped
that all may long have reason to be
thankful for privileges enjoyed as
long as lite shall last.

+. BOYS should be prohibited play
ing on the streets which are used
for the passage of street cars. The
killing of the lad, George w. Kelley
in front Of the Opera House, on
Wednesday evening, shows the
propriety Of such a rule. There
are other places they may play,
without danger to life or limb and
parents should remember to enjoin
on their boys to keep off the car
track. 1t seems that in most cases
when accidents occur, the motorman
is not to blame and consequently
tine boys must be responsible for their
own death. BOYS who value their
lives should not play on or around
the cars, and parents who tail to
impress this on their minds, fall
short in their duty, and must be
prepared to take the consequences.

THE SUPERVISORS
Grant Kicking Because Democrat Was
Appointed in His District,
HAWLEY WANTS A POPULlST APPOINTED
RIay He n Forecast of Another Flu
sion Denl for Next Yenr-Green
Does Not Want 1t.
Especial to The Post.)

Washington, August IL. - Those two
Warwiclls of republican politics in Texas
Dr.. John Grant, United States marshal fol-
the Eastern district of Texas, and Mr.. e
H. r. Green, chairman of the republican
| State central committee, have been in TINS
city for several days, patronage hunting
as usual. DR.. Grant has been raising Cain
about the appointment of a democrat as
census supervisor in Joe Bailey's district
Grants home district, and wanted the mat
ter taken up and reversed. He got no en-
couragement from the officials of the CEN
sus bureau; on the contrary. he was re-
ferred to the democratic senators of Texas
and told plainly that the democrat namSd
in Mr.. Bailey's district would retain his
position.
Mr.. Green is also interested in the CEN
sus supervision appointments and is very
anxious concerning the appointment In the
Ninth district, and wants man named
Campbell appointed. He is also trying to
get Mr.. Dan Quill appointed bank exam
liner; he found Comptroller Dawes away
nothing.
The slate for republican supervisors is
not yet made up but probably Will be in
few days, as Mr.. Hawley is expected here
shortly. There is a difference existing be-
tween the Texas pie parcellers concern
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of appointing some
populist in the bunch OF supervisors. Haw-
ley fayors such appointment, Green bitterly
opposes it, and Grant seems to be on the
fence ready to drop either way. The pop
ulist idea is Mr.. Hawley's, which probably
comprehends an alliance of the repuS-
licans with the populists next year.
Director Merriam has sent out the com.
missions of all the supervisors of the CEN
sus who have been appointed for the State
OF Texas. The appointments are of the
recess variety and they will hold only
until the senate shall have confirmed the
permanent appointments. The same man
VIII, however, be reappoiuted in every in
stance. The action of the director Is de-
parture from the usual course of proceed
ure. Commissions are sent out at this
time in order that the supervisors may
proceed to map out their districts and Sc
lect their enumerators, the object being
to have everything in readiness TO begin
promptly on the morning of June ! next
with full force OF men drilled as to their
duties. Neither supervisors nor enumer-
ators will receive dollar for their SER
vices until the work is completed. 1t is
the aim of the director to have the entire
work of enumerators completed by July l.
1900, and he hopes to be able TO give an
approximately correct estimate OF the pop
ulation within thirty days of that date.
