Thanksgiving, 1901.

The national festival for the giving OF
thanks is this year clouded with the MEM
DRY of a great tragedy The people nave
lost a leader and a friend, the republic a
patriot In every heart which this day ut
tiers its praise and gratitude for the bene-
factions heaped upon the land there Is a
sad recollection. The year has brought It's
great sorrow along with its blessings.
But apart from the loss. which tinctures
all the outgivings of the day, the annual
occasion for thanksgiving finds the people
fortunate in large measure and in many d.
rections. The year has passed with many
happy results The land has been at peace,
and it has maintained It's honor among the
nations of the world. 1t has prospered ma
terialIy and it's people are advancing toward
even further goals of achievement. No
great losses have been suffered, no sweep
ing disasters have occurred. Trials there
have been. but through them all the land
has come triumphant, a gamer for the ex-
Perience.
The tragedy which cost the nation its be-
loved President proved that there no
room here for anarchism. The voice raised
in denunciation of that crime was unani-
nous, the purpose to root out the evil
things amongst us was unmistakable. The
foundations of the republic have not been
shaken by so much as a hairs breath by
this attack upon it's institutions persona
fed in it's beloved servant. Herein is per-
haps the chief reason today for thanksgiv-
ing. Through this test We have come I'M
scathed our faith in the perpetuity of our
government undisturbed, our citizenship
the stronger and more wholesome even than
before.
For this there should today arise a vol
ume of grateful expressions. The day viii
mark a distinct advance in the national
progression toward the higher ideals. The
people are more closely than ever before
one people. largely in consequence of the
works of him who has been taken from US,
and the welding of the parts was made
the more perfect in the hours of grief
and a mutual sense of loss. A nation that
can thus find strength for the future in
the dangers and trials of the present is
indeed blessed, and in the chorus of praise
arising today from the lips of all classes.
colors and creeds this thought will be up
permost and the prayer for the further
strengthening of this patriotism will be
universally fervent.
The arrest of thought this day makes for
the betterment of all. The busy rush of
trade is checked to permit the utterance
of words Of gratitude. The avocations of
life are interrupted that mems minds may
rest more definitely upon the higher duties.
The part the citizen must play in the maxi
ing and the maintenance of the ideal state
becomes more clear and the call to whole
some action more insistent. The institution
of Thanksgiving in itself bespeaks the high
state of American civilization, and it's in
creasingly hearty observance is one of the
happiest of signs for the future glory and
greatness of the republie

Washington is enjoying a Thanksgiving
Day of exceptional qualities. Those who
have come here from the north are enjoy
ing the crisp air and the covering of snow
which fell in moderation during the night.
To such these Thanksgiving seems a
mockery without wintry attendants. The
'old-fashioned" festival is always pictured
thus. with families gathering in sleighs
from afar, their appetites for the bounties
of the board sharpened by the snap in the
air and the tang of the snow. The capital
city seldom experiences such day, and is
glad of the innovation this year. Thanks
giving Day is of cold-climate origin, the
praise-giving colonists of Massachusetts
Bay having started the custom of an an
nual utterance of gratitude for the bless
ings of Providence in the face Of bitter
trials From that corner of the country
1t has spread until now it is observed
throughout the United States in obedience
to the prociamations of the President and
the governors of the states But whether
the day be observed amid the SHOWS of
northern Maine under the shade of
the palms of Florida. the spirit is now the
same. Washington. standing in the mean
of these climatic extremes, is the meeting
ground for representatives of all parts, and
its offering today of bright, crisp air and a
sheeted ground will doubtless be keenly
appreciated on all sides.

The GHOxie Tunnel.H

In another part of todays Star will be
found the letter of correspondent who
protests against the continued designation
of the newly opened aqueduct as the "Ly-
decker tunnel" and proposes that hence
forth it be known by its proper name, If
fair credit is to be given for a brilliant idea,
at last achieved in works, as the "Hoxie
tunnel This. means of carrying an addi-
tonaI supply of water from the upper res
ervoirs to high point north of the city

captain) r. l.. Hoxie one of the early as
sistant engineer commissioners of the Dis
trict The fact that the work when under
taken was placed in the hands of an officer
who did not properly attend to his duties
should not cause Major Hoxie to be de-
prived of the honor which is his due now
that the entire feasibility of the scheme has
been demonstrated. While the tunnel was
regarded by the public as a failure, whose
cost the District is even now staggering to
carry, there was good reason why If should
be called by the name of the delinquent
officer whose negligence and incompetence
led to the loss of millions and the long
postponement of the Improvement. But the
reasons for this term Of reproach have
passed with the vindication of Major
Hoxies plan through the completion of the
work. So henceforth, The Stars cor
respondent suggests, let the people of
Washington cease to express their con-
tempt for failure and give voice to their
appreciation of a success by giving the tun-
mel. as a popular designation, the name of
the man who conceived it and who, if
placed in charge of the work, would I'M
doubtedly have carried it through success
fully without hitch or loss.

Second-Clns. Mnil Matter.

Postmaster General Smiths annual re-
port states the case of the government in
it's effort to rectify the errors in the extern
sion of the second-cass mail privilege with
force and clearness. The presentation of
the matter is convincing. The Postmaster
General shows that the government is
losing annually about 100000 year for
the benefit of a few publishers, who in re-
turn are giving the people nothing of value.
The purpose of the governments postal
system is, as the Postmaster General points
out, not to make money, but to carry the
peoples mails as swiftly and safely pos
sible at the lowest rate compatible with
good business. In proportion as the cost
is reduced the rates offered to the people
may be lessened. If any one class I'M
worthily secures exceptional privileges
which do not represent benefaction to the
public the balance is naturally raised
against the people. for whose welfare the
service is maintained The periodicals COM
planned of, now enjoying the secondclass
rates designed merely as vehicles for
carrying advertising matter. offering the
barest modicum of information to the read
ers. They are not desired by the people,
being thrust at them gratutously, and their
conveyance does not represent the bestowal
of the least advantage, upon the reading
public. The Postmaster General feels, and
in this he will doubtless have the support
of the great majority of thinking people,
that 1t is time the government pruned it's
privilege lists so that the letter writers and
the readers of Instructive periodicals may
have the benefit of the incidental saving in
extensions of the service and reduction of
the rates. This report attacks the question
SO squarely and authoritatvey that the
way is opened for the solution of the prob
lem at this session of Congress by the en-
actment of carefully considered laws for
the more exact definition of "second-class
matter which will enable the department
to rule against unworthy publications with
out resorting to arbitrary distinctions. The
matter is assuredly ripe for action, after
years of discussion and governmental loss

equal consideration Is the ease Of providing
abundant supplies. The cost of the land
requisite for an appropriately large govern
ment reservation is of some Importance. 1t
has been estimated that camp to fulfill the
purposes held in mind by Secretary Root
should be at least ten miles square. That
would afford abundant room for maneuver-
ing and encampment. 1t would permit inn
provements of a permanent character.
Where can land be bought on this scale
within range of a large city capable of
meeting the demands Of camp save at a
prohibitive price? This question can per-
haps be answered best through the exam
ination of available sites in the vicinity of
Washington, not within few minutes ride,
as was Camp Alger but far enough away to
insure seclusion, and situated with some
reference to historic battlefields. Down in
Virginia are many memorial sites which
the government would do well to preserve.
In the vicinity of Fredericksburg. for In
stance, camp might be established which
would not only afford abundant chance for
effective drilling and organizing. but would
stimulate the military interest of the SOL
diers by permitting an individual inspection
Of the scenes of some of the worlds great
est land fights. Suitable lan6 could be
found in the states adjacent to the capital
at rates which would easily permit large
purchase, sufficient for the ultimate pur-
poses of the grand plan.
It is highly important that in the reorgan-
ization of the army some attention be paid
to the influence Of the national capital upon
the regular troops and the state militia.
Nothing is more broadening to an American
than visit from one of the interior states
to the federal city. If 1t could be SO planned
that every soldier visiting the national camp
for instruction and drill should pass through
Washington and spend a little time here his
value as a defender of the republic would
unquestionably be increased many per cent.
