firmly held.
the New York opening and close to-
day were both bad. The opening was
weak and lower, and subsequent slight
rallies throughout the general list were,
as a rule, lost before the closing. There
we're several reasons for this, one being
an apprehension of higher money and
another the palpable efforts of the
pools to market shares. The day
throughout was an uncertain one, and
closed with the bears poking their
noses out Of the underbrush. Money

Before the close, however, the market

short interest. On any favorable news

The nation gave thanks yesterday
and, from a temporal standpoint, we as a
people have much to be thankful for,
The American people are to-day the
most prosperous in the world, and the
present is the most prosperous period,
perhaps, in our entire national history.
Dun & Co.'S Review of Trade for last
week gave its Thanksgiving sentiment
forcefully in the following words:
"Never before in the history of the
United States was there such a great
reason for day of national Thanksgiving.
This country has made Unprecedented
strides toward position Of international
supremacy, not only in commerce but in
finance. 70 marked degree business
enterprises have proved successful. An
idle wheel IN mills or factories is the
exception, while labor is so well employed
at high wages that consumptive demands
sustain market values of all staple com
modities. Transporting facilities have
been unable to keep pace with the ma
TONS requirements, many complaining
of tardy deliveries, which alone act as a
brake on commercial progress"

IT is not often that the Washington
correspondent of a great newspaper
makes monkey" of his paper, but the
Chicago Record Herald's Washington
man showed remarkable ignorance of the
postal laws when he wrote the following:
at has been proposed at various times
to charge only one cent on drop letters
where there is no free delivery service.
The postal authorities consider this
reasonable proposition, but congress has
never acted upon it, A letter dropped
into a country postoffice to be delivered
to patron of that Office who calls for
his mail, and who has not the free deliv-
cry service, pays as much postage as
letter that is mailed at New York and
delivered by carrier to a residence in the
suburbs of San Francisco"
All of which every resident of the
smaller towns or country knows to be
ridiculous. One cent has for years been
the rate on drop letters, except where
free city or rural delivery is used.

Edit0ri0I Comment.
The Merit Congress.

When congress convenes next month 1T
will find before it some questions OF the
greatest national aud international i'm
portance. Indeed it promises to be an
unusually interesting and momentous
session.
Perhaps first in Importance will be the
Hay Pauncefote treaty, which should be
promptly ratified by the senate, and
then following after the ratification the
steps toward the construction of the
isthmian canal, including the decision
between the Nicarauguan and Panama
routes and the making of the initial APP
preparation for the work.
The proposed reciprocal treaties with
foreign nations will be considered and,
whether the pending treaties are ratified
or not, the republican congress must
take no backward step in regard to the
reciprocity principle to which the party
is irrevocably pledged and which is the
party's heritage from one of its greatest
leaders, the late James q, Blaine The
reciprocal treaties with other nations is
of vast Importance and must be accom-
plished.
The question of revision of the tariff
is bound to come up in connection with
the reciprocity matter. strong pres
sure is at work favoring some radical
tariff revision, but it is hardly probable
it will be successful in this congress-
The country is enjoying unexampled
prosperity and, in view of that condition,
any extensive experiment in the way of
tariff tinkering is not to be desired.
The colonial question and the institu-
ton of acceptable forms of government
for our new possessions will be matters
of great weight that must be considered
and decided and which are worthy Of
the best efforts of American statesman
ship.
The Alaskan boundary dispute and
the question of the abrogation of the old
Rush Bagot treaty, forbidding the build
ing of war vessels on the great lakes,
should be decided as favorably as posi-
BILE to the United States. The abroga
ton of this treaty is of especial impor-
lance to the state of Michigan, with its
extensive shipbuilding industry.
The proposed Pacific cable, the renewal
of the Chinese exclusion act and its eX
tension to our new Eastern possessions,
the much to be desired purchase of the
Danish West Indies and other questions
of almost equal import will crowd upon
congress for solution.
Senators Hanna and Frye Will again be
in the fray in the interest of their pet
ship subsidy measure. While it is prob
able this will meet another defeat SINH
lar to that in the last congress, it is to be
hoped the friends of the bill will not
again carry their fight so far as to defeat
the river and harbor appropriations in
its interest.
Yes, the next congress will make his
tory rapidly-and we trust and believed it
will act in such a way as to promote the
best present and future interests of the
United States.

Now that the government revenues are
larger than necessary to meet public
expenses, the talk is lively for the reduc-
ton of the tax on whiskey, which was
raised as a war measure. While it took
war necessity to raise the wniskey tax to
its present figure, it is more too high and
should rot be reduced All the other
internal revenue taxes added for war
purposes should be first abolished.
