NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.

At no time In the past decade has
the true significance Of Thanksgiv-
ing been brought nearer to the
hearts of the American people than
on the present occasion. We have
been passing through an era of un-
paralleled prosperity, with appar-
emily nothing to disconcert the peo-
pie In their progress and develop
ment. The outlook has always been
most promising, with no cloud on the
horizon and no fear in the heart.
This year there has been a furry,
enough, at least, to call a halt and
cause an invoice Of the assets of the
country, checking up of its real
values and re-estimating of its fu-
ture. At the end of this time we
we still find that there is a real
foundation for real Thanksgiving.
The country Is rich in its real securi-
ties. There has been no shaking Of
the foundation of prosperity. The
lesson, on the whole has been salu-
tary and the effects will be benef1-
cial.
No country is so great and pros
porous that the pinch of poverty is
not found at some point In its bor-
ders, but while the nation is feast
ing out Of the fuilness Of its larder
these are not forgotten. and find
ample reason for thankfulness in the
overflow of abundance that is sent
TO grace the table in the lumblest
home, where for any reason the
hand OF plenty has NOT found the
way.
At peace with all the world, rich
In its harvests, blessed in its homes,
the country has every reason to re-
Joice and enter into the spirit of
3 true Thanksgiving.

against McKinley's total of $685.
It's. When the democratic party re-
pudiated Bryan in 1904 and selected
Alton B. Parker to head the presi-
Dental ticket the result was even
more disastrous. Thus during the
last three presidential campaigns
the democrats have lost steadily.
Bryan stands for nothing now
that he did not stand for in 1895.
He has no new doctrine or new prin-
ciples. He has merely carried his
populistic ideas to extremes and no
man who did not favor his views in
1895 can consistently favor them
now. Yet this is the man VINO per-
sists in pushing himself to the front
and blocking the way for other can
didates. This is the one great OBJ
stacle that stands in the way Of any
hope of democratic success in the
next presidential election. If the
democratic party were wise 1t would
retire Bryan and call out some virila
leader who has not been before the
country as a candidate. Bryan is so
ding-donged his moss-grown theories
into the ears of the American peo-
pie until the people are weary of
him and everything he stands for.
The announcement that he would be
a candidate again aroused no en-
thusiasm even in the ranks of his
own party. He is stale-very stale.

A DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFER
ENCE.

Mr.. Bryan can with profit ponder
on the distinction that Mr.. Murphy,
leader of Tammany Hall, draws when
he says that Tammany is not to be
pledged to Bryan, but will support
him If he is the nominee. There is
virtue in that eff" 1t is the saw
ing clause that puts little salt
on Mr.. Bryan's bread Tammany
Hall is not for Bryan, and the orga-
nization back of it and the conserva-
tive democracy all over the union
are not for Mr.. Bryan, but will ac-
cept him IL he is the nominee. This
is the lukewarm support that Bryan
has received on former occasions,
and presages nothing less than an
other defeat, which Bryan says is no
disgrace because 1t is so common.

The imports from the same coun-

BRYAN GROWN STALE.

Democracy lost possible oppor-
tunity when Mr.. Bryan stepped for
ward ands again blocked the path of
other aspirants for the democratic
nomination. Entirely aside from
the fact that Bryan stands for retro
gression anil popuiistic theories that
have been outlawed long ago, he is
stale, He has been before the Amer
lean people so long that he has lost
his vogue.
In 1896 when he was first men
toned for the presidency, Mr.
Bryan was young and came to the
front in highly dramatic fashion,
pushing aside older and wiser men.
His famous cross of gold' speech
in Chicago aroused the country's
curiosity and people flocked to see
and hear. For a time he pushed
everything before him and in that
campaign he carried % states,
among them such northern states as
Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska, Washington, Nevada
South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
In that campaign he received g.
28S,866 votes and Mr.. Mckinley re-
ceived 7,107,S22. This was wher
the man from Nebraska was fresh
and something of a novelty. -Four
years later the same men confronted
each other again. At that time Mr.
Bryan lost Nebraska and carried
only Is states, receiving 6,255,66t
