TRULY MEASURED.
Prosperity and Plenty Give the Pes-
pie Reason for Being Genuine
Iy Thankful.

In his first Thanksgiving procla-
IDLY emphasized the peculiar bene-
fits for which the people should be
grateful.
Though n respected president fell a
victim to crime the nation has shown
the unanimity of horror over the as
sassin's deed and in the general con-
demnation of the anarchistic cult is
found cause for thankfulness. The
country is united in opposition to
anarchy and all forms of lawlessness.
There is little need to recall the
great material prosperity of all Sec
tions. The year 1901 promises to be
the best in the history of the nation
in nearly every line of effort. The
banks have full vaults, money is cir
culating, manufacturers are busy fill
ing orders for months ahead, farm
ers are receiving high prices for their
products and the railroads are load
ed with traffic.
During the past year the lines have
been drawn closer in. public morality.
III iiO tllN MIlCIC tItCJiOIS nave DCtI
held has there been an evasion of
the great moral and economic ques-
tions that inevitably force them
selves upon a wide-awake and con-
scientious people. The ideals of the
people are higher than they were a
year ago.
There is fitness in those words of
I.
proclamation. "We have prospered in
things material and have been able
to work for our own uplifting in
things intellectual and spiritual. Let
us remember that, as much has been
given us much will be expected from
us, and that true homage comes from
the heart as well as from the lips and
shows itself in deeds. We can best
prove our thankfulness to the Al
mighty by the way in which, on this
earth and at this time, each of us
does his duty to his fellowman."
The sermons ard prayers and songs
of the last Thursday of November
will not reveal all the depths of our
thankfulness. Each days work is the
measure of gratitude for past bles-
sings. Is there better day in which
to show the nations devotion tc
ideals than by following the advice OF
the president in his proclamation?
The devotion which each person
shows in thus expressing his full
heart will be good for the individual.

troll Nevada the announcement means
that that state will henceforth be in

SENATOR HANNA'S CRITICS.
Democratic Newspapers and Orators
Responsible for Conditions That
Precipitate Murder.

Some of the democratic newspa-
pers are becoming hysterical because
Senator Hanna, in hisspeech at SPRING
field, held some Of the democrats, and
the democratic yellow press in par
ticular, responsible for the assassina-
tion Of the president.
The senator disclaimed all intention
to make a political issue of the assas-
sination, hut he said he desired to
place the blame where it belonged.
Senator Hanna is not alone in his be-
lief that the democratic newspapers
and orators had much to do with ere
ating sentiment against the late
president under the influence of which
the weak mind of an anarchist like
Czclgosz could be turned in a murder
Gus direction.
Congre ssman Burton, in Cleveland,
charged that the yellow democratic
press was responsible for the assas-
sination. Gen. Horatio King said the
same thing in the speech he delivered
here during grand army week, when
it was believed the president would re-
cover. Rev. DR.. Morgan Wood ex-
pressed the same sentiments, in a
speech at the same time, and he went
further by referring in particular to a
cartoon which lad been published by
Tom Johnson's crgan in the campaign
of 1900, in which President Mckinley
was pictured as an emperor on a
throne, with Senator Hanna as the
power behind the throne.
OF course neither Senator Hanna nor
anybody else desires to hold the demo-
cratic party responsible for the assas s.
sination, but that certain democrats
and certain democratic newspapers
are responsible for the condition of a f.
fairs which made the assassination
possible cannot be doubted or disputed.
The less democratic papers say in
criticism of what Senator Hanna said
at Springfield the better it will be for
them.-Cleveland Leader.

UThe defeat of the Bryan fusion
populistic and democratic ticket in
Nebraska eliminates Mr.. ES'yan from
all consideration of democrats in the
future as to their platform and ma
tional candidates. AS his last hold on
the national democracy he announced
his intention to redeem" Nebraska
from the republicans, who carried it
against him in 1900. Nebraska was
not "redeemed;" it gave greater re-
publican majority than it gave year
ago. There are no unkind feelings to-
ward Mr.. Bryan; his future is before
him, not behind him. as is the case will
many defeated leaders. He may fill a
career of political usefulness which
never would have been possible in a
national administration and policy
founded on the unsafe, impracticable
basis of the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms.-Chicago Chronicle (Dem.)

DURAN ANNEXATION

1t is said that Washington this win
ter will have many Cuban visitors,
most of whom will be interested in OBJ
tanning reciprocity which will allow
certain products of the island free en-
try into our ports. There are intima-
tions that reciprocity is regarded as
only a preliminary step towards an
nexation. and this view is likely to be
taken, not only by certain Cubans. but
by many Americans.
It is evident that the stable govern
ment for the island for which we re-
gard ourselves responsible. and her
prosperity to which we are sentiment
ally committed. cannot come without
the protection and fostering care OF
the United States No one can evei
reckon what Cuba has cost us, and al.
though we propose to live up to om
declaration that Cuba should be free
yet it is asking a great deal to expec
us to liberate them, to spend millions
in reconstruction. to offer her al
rights OF trade with this country an,
the protection of our arms, and yet re
ceive nothing, not even thanks, in re
turn.
General Wood is quoted as sayin
that Cuba must eventually be annexe
to the United States and that we al

many as 5000 words may be transmit
ted in one minute. Under the present

wire can be made to do the business
for which fifty are now necessary.
The general working of the Delany
system has already been described. 1t
retains the Morse code and key and
many of the present instruments, but
instead of the operator having to send
and receive messages, all this work is
done mechanically by the means of a
chemical, receiver and sending and re-
lceiving tapes. 1t does not, however,
do away with the operator as he is
needed just as much as at present, in
preparing the message prior to trans
hitting it and in deciphering it after

Toronto and Scarboro Electric Rail-
road Company has begun to run its
cars ON the first day of the week That
has made trouble ait once. Indignation
meetings have been held. Resolutions
have been passed. One of them says
that "the operating of said cars is GER
tain to millitate against the quietness
of the day as a day of rest, and at the
same time prove a most hurtful source
and a demOralizing agency in regard
to the moral welfare and well being
OF the community" A deputation Of
lscandalized citizens waited on the
Ontario premier and attorney-general
last week. and urged them to interfere
and stop the cars.
The attorney-general suggested that
any one of their number could lodge
an information against the company
and set the machinery of the law in
lmotlon. Rev Dr. Potts, Rev Dr. Car
Imam and others replied that 1t was not
