THE THANKSGIVING SERVICE
There Was a Large Attendance

at the Nam Street Christian church
this morning was well attended, and
everyone seemed to enter fully into
the meaning and purpose of the
assemblage.

/ great fact that there is One above
all and directing all 10 whom we
owe "the debt immense of endless

should be a yearly Thanksgiving and
thank offering; that we should cause
ourselves to recall the manifold
blessings which are ours and our

| blessings of heaven for the fruits Of
our industry 1t was IN this spirit
that the audience assembled this
morning. 1t was this spirit that
breathed itself through the songs
and prayers and utterances of the

PLAYING IN GREAT LUCK.

Washington Star: The west is
playing in great luck. She is to en-
joy the honor of a visit this spring
from both President Roosevelt and
e~x-President Cleveland. The. latter's
plans are not complete, but in all
probability he will follow in some of
the formers footsteps. 1t would be
sacrilege to suggest within the cir
Gle of Mr.. Cleveland's admirers that
he may have in view among other
things testing western sentiment to-
ward himself at this time. But it
cannot be doubted that whatever his
purposes may be his trip will afford
such an opportunity. Shall he go as
far as Nebraska? And shall we hear
of him at Lincoln? Mr.. Bryan on one
occasion while visiting the east re-
ferred to that section as "the enemy's
country Will Mr.. Cleveland be
made to feel while in the west that he
is in 1.-THE enemy's country?" Prob
ably not. For whatever the west
may think of his financial views and
record. she will treat her distinguish
ed guest, we may be sure, with due
courtesy. The presidential campaign
is on. And why not?

ExEUNT

Whatever else they may think of
him, the people of these United States
a but admire Major Estes Rath-
bone for his nerve and audacity.
Thanks to the clemency of President
Palma he is enabled to breathe the
air of freedom, instead of being an
inmate of the prison to which he was
condemned by the Cuban court that
tried him for stealing the islands pos
tai funds. Although convicted on
testimony hat appeared ~irrefutible,
he still insists upon his innocence.
After having failed in his efforts to
obtain a hearing in the United States
senate. he next attempted to retrieve
his lost reputation by desmirching
that of General Wood, who was the
military governor of Cuba at the time
of his trial and conviction. Against
the general he filed charges with the
secretary Of a This was done on
the v of the generals departure for
the Philippines. 1t is not necessary
to say that they were promptly and
unequivocally denied, to which ex-
tent they may be said to have been
honored. Now comes the secretary of
war and emphatically declares that
there is nothing to Rathbone's ac-
cusations and justifes General Wood
in all the actions the disgraced ex-
Cuban postmaster general alleged
were wrong, saying the general had
throughout acted under instructions
from his superiors.
This may prove to be the last of
Rathbone. He is m~anifestly unable
to secure revenge and nov should
subside. The people have grown tir-
ed him and although he may not
know it, a majority of them opined
that in releasing him President Pal
ma was guilty of an executive mis-
take. If Rathbone still possesses any
sense he will now follow the example
of Neeley, his accomplice in the
frauds, and keep out of sight and hear
ing for the remainder Of his life.
Medley was sensible enough to avail
himself of the opportunity given him
to sink into %obscurity and has mani
his continued good sense by
not attempting to break out of it.

Once more it is reported that Mrs.
Maybrick is to be released from the
English prison in which she has been
confined since she was found guilty
OF having murdered her husband by
feeding him arsenic. Originally she
was sentenced to death, but through
the intervention of friends and the
exertion of powerful official influence
on this side of the ocean the sentence
was commuted to n of imprison-
ment for life. Since then, now al
most fifteen years ago, repeated ef-
forts have been made to secure her
pardon. but all failed, the English gov
eminent even refusing to heed the
petltlons made in the woman's be-
a by the government of this ma
ton, for Mrs. Maybrick is an Ameri-
a by birth, although having mar

prior to her trial having resided in
England. To all applications for
clemency made in her behalf, there

SUCH men IN us party. But that the
men who are struggling against him
will be successful to the extent of
preventing his nomination is an en-
tirely different matter. They are so
very much in the minority and the
reason of their opposition is SO well
understood that for them to even hope
for success is %audacious. So much
for Roosevelt and his trip and the
opposition to him in his own party.
How the Tribune can reason itself
into the belief it processes to enter
tain OF a growing spirit Of harmony
within it's W party is a puzzle. It
%candidly admits that the two most
prominent men in the party and those
having the largest individual follow
ing, Cleveland and Bryan, are throw
ing mud at n another at every pos
sible opportunity and occasion, but at
tempts to nullify the evil effects on
the party their relative positions un-
doubleday have by saying that they
are alone in that attitude now. 1t
processes to believe that Cleveland is
MOI liked by a large section of the
democratic party; that his day is
past and that his personality need
not enter into the campaign at all.
In con%travention of what it earlier
stated regarding the loneliness of
Bryan's attitude the Tribune de-
clares that he will undoubtedly be a
force in democratic policies, but that
he will not be permitted to dictate to
the extent of keeping men from act
ing with the democratic party be-
cause of the past.
Did it stop there the Tribune
might be said to have scored a point,
but it keeps on talking and spoils all
it's notes sung in the effort to strike
the key of harmony. In the very next
sentence it AYERS that the democratic
party will not be put in the attitude
of driving from it's ranks any one
who desires to act with it on the
questions of the next campaign. This
is good, square, harmony talk and the
Tribune is very near the key and
pitch. but when it further along as
s%everates with all the earnestness
and seriousness at it's command that
neither will those who acted against
democracy, or sulked during late
campaigns, be allowed to dominate"
it touches a note that may be open
to suspicion to the critical ear and
one attuned to the sweet melody of
the exquisite harmony the Great Falls
contemporary says is to be heard in
the democratic concert.
The Tribune may finally hit the
right note. but for the present it
sings too loudly in the strain of Bryan
and De Almond to be in full tune
with the singers whose cadences are
waited to us from across the Missis-
sippi and beyond.

KNOX BLAzED THE WAY.

. Des Moines Register and Leader:
In view of the uncertainties that be-.
set the trust problem at the time At
torney General Knox delivered his
Pittsburg address, it must be set down
as one of the most effective public ut
terances in our political history. The
Sherman law, which so able a man as
ex-senator Edmonds has declared ex
hausted the powers of congress to
deal with the trusts, had failed in
important instances. So many diff
ficulties attended an attempt to secure
a constitutional amendment, that at
best that afforded only the remote
prospect of a remedy. The most care
full students of the problem We're at
sea, and the great corporations felt
comparatively secure from any effec-
tive supervision Or restraint. That
under such circumstances a single
speech should be made that at once
focused public sentiment appealed to
courts and to Legislators, and led to-
definite action in the short time that
has since passed. is certainly remark
able. 1t is IN illustration of what in
telligent leadership lee in political
organization. The clear insight of At
torney General Knox and courageous
and unflinching championship of Pres
ident Roosevelt have exempliied in
connection with the trust legislation
of the past congress, American states
manship at it's best.

SOMETHING UNUSUAL.

1t now seems that the unusual spec
tacle Of both sides to a controversy
being satisfied with the decision of
the court to whom settlement of the
dispute a referred is held up to view.
The coal operators say they have no
fault to find with the findings of the
board of arbitration, while the opera
tives declare they are equally we'll
pleased. Neither side appears to
have scored a complete and final vic
tory, but each gained some point
for which it commended. The miners
are granted an ~appreciable increase
in pay, although the recognition Of
their union for which they held out
is denied them in sum, but not in sub
stance. In behalf of the owners the
arbitrators have decreed that there
shall be no more strikes or walkouts
owe any dispute that may arise be-
tween them and the miners, but that
such matters shall be left to a board
of arbitrators and pending decision
work shall continue without Interrupt
ton. President Mitchell, speaking in
behalf of the miners, says his side
will live up to the terms of the boards
decision. and the mine owners show
their willingness in the same direction
by Immediately taking steps to pay
the men the arrearages of wages due
them under the decision and to con
tinue payment of the new wage rate
fixed. A happy ending seems to have
been reached in what at n time
promised to be long drawn
source of trouble and annoyance to
many more than those directly con
cerned.

LOOSELY DRAWN N

Omaha Bee: The constitution of
the United States lodges the treaty
making power in the president, sub.
ject to the concurrence Of two-thirds
of the senate, while it places the law
making power with congress subject
to approval Of the president. The con
stitution goes further and places GER
tain limitations on the various parties
to the making Of laws, the principal
one being that revenue measures must
originate in the lower house, and it
also makes treaties as binding as n
law of the land. But where the treaty.
making power stops or crosses into
the realm of the law-making power
is nowhere defined and the margin
where the two are apt to conflict is SO
broad that the only wonder is we have
not had more serious controversies
over it. The last striking example
was when Hawaii was annexed by
majority vote Of the two houses after
an annexation treaty had been unable
to- muster the necessary two-thirds in
the senate, and now We see the Cuban
treaty, although ratified by an over
whelming majority, made to wait upon
legislation of both houses, first to de-.
lay it's enforcement, and second, to
shift part of the responsibility on the
representatives in the house. If the
house were opposed to a treaty, this
would be an %effectual way of hanging
it up in the air indefinitely.
