THE SAME SYNDICATE.

Our attention is called to the follow
ing excerpt:
The complaint early in 1895 was that
the army was badly fed. that the camps
Were unhealthy. that the medical depart-
ment was deficient. not that the army
was pursuing war of conquest.-Trib-
une.
As late as December 1895 our neigh
NOR complained of these things. Be
tween April, 1898. and April. 1899. it
denounced the administration repeated
ly as an aggregation of thieves and
imbeciles;" it wanted the ..rogues
high up in authority hanged. al
though such punishment was too
good for Them" it said that the ad-
ministration was cursed with ayarice
and the army with partisanship; that
the lives of American heroes were
being bartered away for political pulls.
The president, the administration.
the syndicate in control of national
affairs that would do these things in
1898 would not scruple To do similar
things ia 1899. If they sent hundreds
of soldiers TO untimely graves on ac-
count of avarice and partisanship in
1898 they are capable of doing it vet.
And when the suspicion is whispered
around that the president has pur-
poseiy prolonged this war TO close it
in a blaze OF glory just before the
presidential campaign begins: when it
is intimated that the syndicate in
control Of national affairs" is looking
TO the exploitation of the Philippines
and the utilization of Asiatic cheap
labor there. men ask: is the admin
istration capable of doing such damn
able work ~
Turn to the editorial files of the local
Republican organ and see. So when
the Tribune says that the difficulties of
our army in LuZon ARE in fighting an
enemy in front that is encouraged to
keep the field and kill-our soldiers by
the enemies at home who are making
a desperate effort To MANUFACTURE
political capital for next years cam
paign, if necessary. by encouraging the
killing of our soldiers the connection
is only too apparent.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

The holidays of the year stand out
among the other days as bright partic-
ular stars of the night outsfine The
stars about them. AS we glace back
over the years that are gone. however
obscured the common days in the cycle
may be. recollections of cherished holt
days glow upon the tablets of memory.
bringing to US light as warm as sum-
mer and voices as sweet as bird songs
in the garden.
Thanksgiving day was born of big
otry and necessity; II was destined by
its New England founders to take the
place of ether holidays they contem-
plated with fanatical adherence on
account of the religious prosecutions
they had suffered. 1t is i holiday
handed down TO us as legacy from
the Puritans. but a wonderful and a
welcome mutation has come with it
in the lapse of time. 1t no longer takes
the place of other festal days. but with
them it has been Incorporated into the
popular calendar arranged by common
consent in this country. For human
souls seem to require set times in which
TO be happy and generous in concert
JOY is thus enhanced and sanctifed.
The Puritans OF New England OBJ
served thanksgiving as their great So
cial and religious festival. Christmas
they regarded as a relic of Catholicism
or Prelacy, and since they had been
prosecuted and driven into a savage
wilderness. they looked upon all holt
days of the Established Church as
symbols of oppression: so bitter was
this sentiment that a law was passed
prohibiting the observance of Christ
mas either in public or in private, and
for many years Christmas was un-
known to the descendants of the Puri-
tan pioneers. Time, trade. books. news
papers, public schools and intercourse
with the outside world effected
forced by intolerance or misrepresenta-
ton. And it wasn't many years. not
more than half century, that the
Puritans clung 70 their old ideals and
cherished their old prejudices. Grad
ually the observance of Christmas was
introduced, the customs of the season
were revived. until. among the hills
and wales of New England, where
Thanksgiving still crowns religious
festivals as Independence day crowns
all secular celebrations, Christmas is
cherished by the descendants of the
Puritans with a joy not excelled by
Catholic or Episcopalian.
1t is a pleasant fact to record that,
as Christmas found its way into the
soured heart of the Puritan, so Thanks
giving has become a regular national
holiday, proclaimed first as such by
Lincoln and appointed by presidential
proclamations and by proclamations of
state governors ever since. It is no
longer religious day. Its churchly
connection is lost. 1t is a day of ma
tional observance. 1t is the peoples
day, no matter what church they be-
long to, or whether they belong to any
or not II is day which stands for
home and happiness, for gratitude and
benevolence, day when every heart
will breath silent prayer for peace
and plenty.

WANT THEIR INDEPENDENCE

Cubans are becoming restless. They
are anxious TO know what the future
has in store for them. They are i'm
patient to assume the responsibilities
of self-government. They view with
alarm the growing disregard of the adj
ministration for civil service rules and
reg ilations. They fear the appearance
of carpet-bag rule after the army shall
have been withdrawn. They have an
idea of the kind of officials a political
boss like Hanna would select They

OF the Elkins-Alger-Piatt syndicate now

VI. THE TANNING OF THE sEREw
Katharine and Petruchio.
Concluded,

tConcluded.)
In the scene where Petruchio insists
that the sun is the moon, il is clear
that she sees his purpose and treats 1t
as a joke. She is not going to quarrel
about ii and lose the visit 10 her father;
so she says, with a touch of gcod-na-
tured sarcasm:
Forward pray. since we have come
so far,
And be it moon, or sun. or what you
please.
An if you please to call it a rush
candle.
Henceforth VOW it shall be so for me.
Petruchio then declares that 1t is the
moon. and she replies: Il know 1t is
the moon.' Nay. then you lie, says
Petruchio: sit is the blessed sun.
Then. God be bless'd, it is the blessed
sun,
But sun it is not, when you say it is
not,
And the moon changes even as your
mind.
What you will have it nam'd, even that
it is;
And so it shall be so for Katharine.
The sportiveness of this is palpable
enough, and it shows that the work of
tanning" the lady is complete. The
