At o'clock p. m. Captain Cable

All night long she lay there, having
absolutely no communication with the
outside world, and utterly ignorant of
the fact that tho ficrccSt gale OF forty
years was sweeping over PccOnic Bay.
The test was made TO demonstrate

Speaking OF his experience Captain
Gable said he thought that the last
barrier to the acceptance Of the Hol-
land type of boat as available for use
in time Of warfare was removed. He
said he felt sure that the problem OF
air was one easily disposed OF. but he
did not expect such wonderful dem
onstration as that which followed the
submersion OF the Fulton.

The People Answer Slanderers.

Ohe of those trucking organs of Wana-
makerism says that 'reform has won in
New York. 1t has been beaten in Phla-
delphia."
Let us say to onr newspaper friend de-
pendant on Wanamak for its bread
and butter that the people Of Philadel-
phia by majority of $1,000 have ex-
pressed their ideas of reform.
They have been unable 10 discover
even the slightest glimmer OF reform in
the movement to discredit and defame
Philadelphia and they have said so at the
polls.
Ifthe defenders are wise they will quit
their assaults and join the procession OF
enterprising Philadelphians in the grand
march for progress.
1t will not be forgotten that one Of the
charges brought against the Republican
Legislature was the "crime" of giving
Pittsburg a new city charter.
Every assailant of the Republican
party declared that the people Of Pitts
burg were beng throttled; that the right
of self government was beng taken from
them, and all that. The Legislature was
lampooned and harpooned and was held
up to the public gaze as a bossridden or
ganization opposed to popular rule.
No doubt such campaign charges had
an effect among citizens ol Pennsylvania
who did not understand the Legislation
hut the test of its value or OF its unrigbt-
eousness naturally lay in the hands ofthe
people Of Pittsburg themselves. They
were the judges, for they alone were af-
fected.
And how have they answered the Fu-
sion assailants? By giving an over
whelming majority for the Republican
State ticket. They have indorsed the leg.
islation in an unprecedented manner
and what is more. they have graudly raj
lied 10 the support of their townsman
Justice Potter They have repudiated his
slanderers,- ,-Phila. Inquire.

In his proclamation appointing the
last Thursday of November as the ma
tional Thanksgiving day, President
Roosevelt pays another sincere tribute to
his predecessor. The assassination of
President Mckinley was the one calam-
ity of the year for the American peo-
pile. twas fitting that it should receive
the touching reference that President
Roosevelt gives it-an announcement of
the grief Of the nation over the loss of a
great ami good president, and the deter
mnstion that the manner of his death
shall not dive our people from the path
of ST. ong, orderly and popular liberty.
Notwithstanding this deep sorrow,
there are many reasons for gratitude on
the part of Americans. President Roose.
welt is ,trictly within the facts when he
says that no people ON earth have such
abundant cause for thanksgiving as we
have. These reasons are apparent to all
readers of newspapers, who are enable
TO compare the conditions of life in this
country with conditions elsewhere, from
the published reports, and they oughutc
be able to corroburate the printed news
from their own personal experience.
The year has been one OF great prosperity
and it is gratifying to believe that this
prosperity will continue. Thanksgiving
day should he celebrated, as President
Roosevelt recommends, not only with
thankful lips and hearts, but also with
deeds

AT last weeks elections the Repub-
licans won by large majorities in ohio,
Massachusetts, Iowa, New Jersey, New
York, Rhode Island and in Bryan's own
state of Nebraska, which was carried by
upward of 10000. New York City elect
ed Seth Low, Republican, mayor by
over 10000, the Republicans carrying
their entire ticket. In Maryland the
Republicans elected a majority Of the re-
presentatives in the legislature while
the Democrats carried the house of Dele
gates, giving them an apparent majority
on Joint ballot. The iniquilous new
ballot law, engineered by German, is re-
sponsible for the defeat Of the Republi-
cans, and they will doubtless be able to
overthrow Gormanism fraud by seating
enodgb representatives to carry the elec-
tion of U. 5 Senator on joint ballot.
