THE SENATE OPPOSITION.

Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
avowed intention of making a fight on
the presidents policy of expansion and
to antagonize the chief executive in va
rous ways. Pettigrew is relic of the
silver craze and succeeds chiefly in
keeping himself before the public by
taking the unpopular chute in public
affairs. The time was when he cut
some figure in the senate by reason of
the closeness of the vote between the
two old parties, just as Senator Allen,
of Nebraska did. but now that the re-
publicans have a clear majority over
all, Senator Pettigrew's efforts will be
of little moment. He can merely show
himself as a disagreeable antagonist
What the democrats may determine
to do in caucus on the Philippine ques-
tion is not yet disclosed. L is certain
that some of the leading democrats of
the senate are in favor of the retention
of the islands and will have the cour-
age to assert their opinions. They be-
lieve it to be of commercial advantage
to the nation and particularly of the
south to hold the South Pacific posses
sions. AS the republicans have dis.
closed their policy in making the pur-
chase of the islands, they will undoubt.

With Croker gone to Europe and
Bryan off hunting, the democratic mill
has ceased grinding for awhile.
The presidents message, to be sub
1nitted to congress when it opens, is
said to contain 10000 words. Despite it's
length the people will read it eagerly
particularly many features of it.

The botanist of the New Jersey Agri-
cultural Experiment station has ISSUED
a warning which should be considered
by the growers of chrysanthemums. He
begun to blight the plants, and that 1t
lis lihaly to be fatal to them unless its
spread H. prevented. He describes its
general appearance as follows: When
badly infested with the rust, the chrys-
anthemum plants becomes dwarfed, the
leaves small, and brown upon the I'M
derside Later on, instead of the green
color of healthy plants, there are the
small, stiff, nearly leafless stems, end
ing in stunted heads, that fail To open
into marketable flowers. Over all the
lower portions of the plants is brown
powder, as if they had been sprinkled
with, tabocco dust" AS to the remedy,
he says that the rust should be watched
| for upon the older leaves, and when
first met with, all foliage showing the
least signs of it should be destroyed.
If the disease increases he recommends
burning the whole lot, fumigating the
premises, and starting anew with fresh

1t was the expressed desire of cunsid-
cradle body OF Cubans that the prest-
dent should appoint civil governor for
the island, but that courae is now an
tagonized by many of those who f0rtn-
erly Endorsed 1t, and even Gen. Gomez,
hitherto uutspoken in favor of Ameri-
can control, declares that such an app
pointment would be unwise and produce
tive of further complications.
In view of all of this evidence that the
Cubans don't really know what they
want, the president would be amply
justified in allowing matters to remain
as they are. The islanders are impn-
tient. They appear to believe that it is
as easy to build UP new form of
government as it was to tear the old
one down. This is invariably the case
with a people who have been released
from an oppressive system and con-
| fronted with the task of creating bet
ter one. But they have many things to
unlearn; population containing so per
cent of illiterates will have to make
haste slowly in establishing civil insti-
tutions adapted to its needs. and in the
long run tardy progress which is true
will be found far preferable to rapid
progress which is false. The govern
ment at Washington understands these
things and inasmuch as it is RESPONSE
BILE for present as well as for future
conditions in Cuba 1T has the fullest
possible warrant for dealing with the
situation according to its own coEvic-
tions of justice and duty.

to the low notes the demands of the
country for a medium of exchange in
retail transactions would be fully met,
while the tendency would be to keep
the silver certificates out of the hands
of the banks, and in the hands of the
people, where their redemption in gold
might be postponed indefinitely.
1t would seem to be of advantage
to business to convert these large bills
into smaller ones.

THEN AND NOW.
For years to come the Thanksgiving


For years to come the Thanksgiving
day of 1899 will be remembered as per-
haps the most generally joyful holiday
known to the present generation. In
the past for several years mems brows
have been knit with care and their
faces clouded with troubles due to the |
struggle for existence during times of /
business depression, the cry of hun
dreds of poor mortals has been not of /
joy but of want, and as they were be- |
Ing gradually left behind in the awful
race of life their despairing walls have
sent pity to the hearts of the successful
ones. During those years the festivi- |
ties of Thanksgiving We're enjoyed only |
by the few, but in this year of unpar- |
alelled prosperity the people of our
land are all joyful. Everybody has had
work and good wages and as the
church bells this morning tolleda out the 4
thank offerings of God-loving people
and the hundreds of thousands of good
housewives prepared the family feasts
America rejoiced Prosperity has shed
its bright rays over a promised land,
land of liberty. land of plenty and a
land of hope.
The Thanksgiving day, peculiarly an
American holiday. was almost univer-
