THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Washington, Oct. Through the
secretary of state, President Roosevelt
has issued his annual Thanksgiving
proclamation. The day this year will
fall on Thursday, November IS. The
proclamation follows:
'Once again the season of the year
has come when, in accordance with the
custom of our forefathers for genera
tions past, the president appoints the
day as the special occasion for all our
people to give praise and thanksgiving
to God.
"During the past year we have been
free from famine, from pestilence, from
war, we are at peace with all the rest
of mankind. Our natural resources are

develop and take advantage of these
resources, the average man of this ma.

er. Nowhere else in the world is there
such an opportunity for a free peo
pie to develop to the fullest extent all
its powers of body, of mind, and of
that which stands above both bod y
and mind character.
Much has been given us from on
high, and much will rightly be expected
of us in return. Into our care the ten
talents have been entrusted; and we
are to be pardoned neither if we squan-

them in a napkin, for they must be

south Needs More RaiIroads.

W. W. Finley, president Of the
Southern Railway, wss one OF the prin'
cipsl speakers st the annual banquet Of
the South Carolina division Of the Trav-
elers' Protective Association ct Ander'
son, S. c., last night.
He declared that the commercial lray-
eler and the railway are natural allies,
as both are pioneers Of trade and build
ers up of business, aud both are vits'ly
interested in everything contributing to
the wealth and the development OF the
natural resources Of the section 10 which
they operate.
Referring to conditions in the SOUTH
ern States, Mr.. Finley said that the
commercial travellers aud the railways
we're working together 10 q field urgent
ly in need of additional transportation
facilities.
He gave figures showing that the ter
ritory south of the Ohio aud Potomac
and east of the Mississippi is not as well
supplied in length Of track or in other
railway facilities 10 proportion to area
and population as are other sections OF
the country.
Speaking of the great increase in the
cost producing transportation, the only
commodity railway has for sale, and
to the fact that manufacturers generally
under such conditions advance prices,
be said that if the production and sale
of transportation could be carried on
subject to the operation of The law OF
supply and demand as completely as can
the manufacture of cotton goods or OF
clothing, present conditions are such az
would justify very material advance in
the selling price of transportation.
"But," said be, "the price has not
advanced. On the contrary, notSith-
standing the great increase in. the cost OF
railway operation and the urgent mecca
sity for the expansion aud improvement
of railway facilities, the tendency has
been downward, and it is proposed in
some of the States to put in force legis-
lation arbitrarily reducing still further
the price at which transportation can be
sold, and imposing penalties for failure
TO perform services beyond the ability Of
the roads,"

workmen Attacked by strikers.

New York, May ll.-Seven hundred
striking lougshoremen invaded the piers
Of the Italian line at Tbirty.fourth street
and North river this morning, many Of
them armed with clubs and bals-hooks,
and forcibly drove from the deck of the
steamer Csnpanis the $50 Italian strike
breakers engaged 10 loading the vessel.
There was a lively melee before the
Italians we're driven from their strong
hold in which numerous heads were
cracked and many blows exchanged.
Police reserves hurried to the spot.
Only two policemen were on guard
at the pier when the crowd ofstrikers be-
gan TO assemble. Word spread that the
weasel was being loaded and sn attack
was agreed upon.
Many of the strike breakers saw their
enemies coming and there was a wild
scramble TO get of the steamer. A num-
Der leaped over the rails and sought
safety by hiding 10 the pier house.
The strikers swarmed up the plank
and surrounded the strike breakers.
Every one of the non-uniou men was
driven from the ship and with blows and
kicks the strikers gave strong argument
against resumption Of work. A hurry
call had had been sent 10 the west
Thirty-seventh street police station and
reserves came on the run swinging their
sticks and revolvers. The strikers did
not await the attack. They rushed from
the pier aud the police did not pursue
them. A strong guard was established
at the gate and the strike breakers who
had not fed from the pier house were
put back TO work.
One strike breaker, Joseph Guizp, was
so badly injured by blow that it was
necessary to summon medical assistance.
Others of the non-union men were nurs-
iDg sore heads and aching muscles.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY Ii, 1867.

THE political discussion between Mr.
William J. Bryan and Senator Albert j.
Beveridge is continued in the May num-
Der of the Reader Magazine, the subject
being "Trusls and Their Treatment. "
Mr.. Bryan describes the various forms
of trusts and the causes responsible foi
their existence. He devotes bis atten'
ton TO the one which be denominate'
the single corporation trust; that is,
when a corporation with single board
of directors simply buys up enough fac
tories or transportation lines to afford il
control Of 8 given business. He cites the
United States Steel Corporation as the
best example Of this kind of trust, and
thinks the essential danger lies in the
fact of its being monopoly, feature
which, whether private or corporate, he
considers an evil. The protective tariff
and the railroad rebate, he says, have
been The mainslays Of industrial mopop'
oly. These he would reach by suitable
laws. Furthermore, he would require
these mOnopOlisic organizations doing
an interstate business TO procure license
from the federal government, in which
license such conditions could be inserted
as would enable Congress to deny it the
right to emplo! the railroads, the mall',
or the telegraph lines to aid its conspir-
acy against the people. Senator Beve'
ridge refers to the good accomplished By
the trusts by reducing the cost of com
modities through economies effected in
mani facture, and also to the reduction
of freight rates brought about by the
consolidation of railroad lines, which has
effected great saving Of time and labor
He admits that there are many evils
connected with the great corporations
which should be stopped, and he sddo,
awe are stopping them" Ore OF the
remedies he proposes is complete public
ity regarding the financial condition OF
the companies and the basis on which
their stock issue rests. He sums up the
evils of the trusts as follows () Re-
bates we have ended them. (2) Con-
tributions-we have ended them. (S)
Bad meats and impure foods-We have

THE BIRTH of the heir to the Spanish
throne yesterday spread q wave of ecstacy
over all Spain. But a year has elapsed
since the same nation was bedecked in
bunting at The marriage of King Alfonso
and Princess Ena. On that occasion
the exultatiOn of the people was sud-
denly changed to evaporation at the
cOwardly and wanton act of an anarch-
list who concealed bomb in bouquet
aud threw it at the royal couple. The
latter escaped injury, but other persons
were killed and wounded by the bastard
ly act. The little stranger has made his
appearance in palace surrounded by
all the luxuries of this world and heir
apparent to throne. Such conditions
may or may not be fortunate. Should
he live, he is destined to pay the penalty
of greatness, as are all potentates, even
if he does not become the target Of
bomb-throwers. Dispatches from Madrid
state that the young queen is nursing
her offspring, and thereby breaking all
precedents. This is a commOn-sense
procedure, apart from the instincts Of
nature, and will tend 10 endear the
young matrOn more than ever to the
people over whom all hope her offspring
will rule in his time.
