Thanksgiving Day.

At no time in the century now drawing
to close, says tho "1Iomo and Farm"
have the people of tho United States had
so many reasons for giving thanks as
in this year of grace 1900. Whilo tho
whole country should join in giving
thanks to God for the blessings so richly
showered on the nation, no section has
been blessed in a greater degree than has
tho South.
Its rich fields have responded to the
touch of the plow, and its farmers have
been rewarded with abundant crops,
which are bringing better prices than for
years. Its cattle and sheep have in.
creased abundantly, and it's corn and
hogs will keep millions of dollars at home
which in former years enriched other
sections.
Even tho terrible visitation at Calves
ton has its bright side, bringing in it's
devastating path the sympathy of the
world, whose actions spoke louder than
words, and by whose aid the widow and
the orphan were succorcd and the people
were enabled to build up tho waste
places which at first seemed utterly de-
stroyed.
General sickness has kept far from the
land, and large sections which hereto
fore have been stricken by "thc pcti-
lence that walkcth in darkness and the
destruction that wasteth at MONDAY"
have been blessed with unusual health
fulncss
The Presidential election just closed
has brought result disappointing to
many, but 10y majoritics so decisive that
there has been no cause for diSputng the
result, and the verdict of tho majority
has been chcorfully acuu eSccd in by the
people everywhere The campaign. CON
Quoted earnestly, was carried on without
undue excitement, and With scarcely a
perccptiblc effect on tho trade and in
dustries of the country.
The prosperity of tho farmer has re-
viviiicd tho cities and towns, aud the
busy hum of industry, carried on by
laborcrs employed in greater numbers
and at better wages than ever before,
can be heard in all parts of the South.
land
This article could be extended to un-
due length, if half were told of the
causes for thankfulncss we have but it
is we'll for all of us to count up our
manifold blessings, and to resolve that
we will do what we can to carry forward
our country to even higher path of
prosperity during the first year of the
twentieth century, and to help the South
to arise like giant refreshed, prepared
to take it's rightful place at the head of
tho grand American army of wcl-ngh
eighty millions, as it leads the old
during tho coming century on THOSE
lines destined to bring Peace on earth
and good will to mcn.'

WORK OF HIRED RuFFIANS
Determined EFFORT TO BREAK UP REPUBLICAN MEETING AT
ANAC0NOA-P0LCE GALE TO SECURE PEACE
MAKING REPU BLiCAN VOTES. 49,.

Disc at sful. Such were the scenes
that greeted the Hon. L.. F. Copeland
at the Evans opera house last night
while he vas making his speech in sup
port of the doctrines of the republican
party. The fair name of the state of
Montana was disgraced again by the
adherents of democratic faith, and If
any one went to that meeting a demo-
crat of the deepest dye. if he has a
single spark of American manhood with
in him the lawless proceedings enacted
last night ought to be enough to change
his political associates. There is no
doubt that many have so changed If the
expressions made by several of the most
Intelligent democrats are to be relied on.
An organized gang of hoodlums made
their presence known by a display of
rowdyism unprecedented in Anaconda,
who Gid everything in their power to
interrupt the speaker and break up the
meeting. But Mr.. Copeland let them
know that he came to make a speech
and that he would do it if he had to be
carried out of the hall on a stretcher.
Thu proceedings of last night is nothing
new to this gang of lawless characters.
They have been in attendance at every
republican rally held during the present
campaign. and in every instance they
have Interrupted the speakers and en-
deaVored to get them confused, but not
until last night did they show a deter
mination to break up the meeting en-
tirely. Some of the ring leaders were
heard to say that that was the purpose
of their presence at the meeting. The
whole gang deserves to be in the peni-
tertiary working shifts On the hardest
Kind of a rock pile, rather than running
at large and trying to prevent the exer-
else of free speech as they did last night.
There was a large attendance of ladies
and children in the hall, and for Il time
1T looked as if there might be a PAM
when several fist fights We're started up
in the back part of the hall, but the
cooler heads persuaded them not to be-
come alarmed, that they would be pro-
tected. In the meantime w. r. Allen
and one or two others slipped out of the
hail and hunted up the police. When
the officers arrived the tension of the
respectable citizens was at a high pitch
and had they not arrived when they
did the chances are that they would not
have stood the display of rowdyism
any longer n would have undertaken
to quell the disturbance. But after the
police reached the scene the trouble
ceased.
While the police are charged in being
derelfct in their duty n were slow in
reaching the scene, this much can be
