LET US GIVE TIA NKS.

Tomorrow Is the day set apart as
n day on which It is meet and proper
for the people of this country to
pause and think. and render thanks
unto an All-wise, merciful and ON
nipotent Ruler for the blessings and
comforts that have come to us indi-
Vidually and as people.
Each successive year brings this
annual message from the Chief Mag
istrate Of the United States and the
Governors Of most of the States in
the union-the perpctuation of a
beautiful custom handed down from
the early days of our country.
AS people we have been marvel
OuSly prosperous and wonderfully
blessed from the early days down to
The present. Here and there, from
the beginning TO the present time, in
diViduals have been called to pass
through sore trials, adversely, mis-
fortune; here aad there cities and
sections Of our land have been
ScourSed by fire or parched by
drought, and loss Of life and property
have followed; other calamities have
befallen few, and at times it has
seemed that the lowering clouds
We're ready to envelOp us. Then has
come again the bright sunshine of
prosperity, and the mists of adversely
have disappeared from about us, and
once again we were constrained to
raise our vol IS with the words of
the Psalmist, BLESS the Lord, O my
soul, and all that is within ME bless
fliS holy name: Bless the Lord, O
my soul, and forget not all his bcne-
fitS.'
Days there have been that were
dark and drcary, and for every such
a day The sun has Shonc a thousand
fold brighter, and We were the better
for them.
Let us give thanks, then, not alone
TOMORROW, but throughout our lives,
for the goodness and mercy Of the
Lord, who knows our every want and
who gives us every good thing that
we have.
Too often we attribute to God our
miSfOrtuncS and to ourselves our
blessings. Have we misfortune?
Let us trace it out, and when We
have done SO we will find that our
trouble arises from having done
those things which we ought not to
have donc,' or having left undonc
those things which we ought to have

THE NAMING OF NEW MEXICO.

l
 It is a favorable sign of statehood that just now in the east. in quarters which were formerly opposed to ad- mission, there appears to have been a withdrawal of all objections save one and that is to the name of New Mexico" Various rechristenings have been suggested and the name of Lin coin has been proposed.
 We think this is a matter which should be left to the New Mexicans themselves, many of whom are bound by sentiment to the name that region has borne since it became a part of the United States.
 Most Americans, however, would like to see a state named after the greatest of all presidents, and if he is not given such a monument now he will never have it.
 There has been some objection. not however to be considered, offered by those who affect to dislike the New Mexicans, on the ground that such a rechristening would be an act of disrespect to the great war presi- dent
 It is not at all likely that any thing will come of these suggestions or these objections, but as we have said we like to see this agitation, for it indicates that serious attention is being given to the statehood busi- ness.

Last week they had a snowfall in Santa Fe aggregating IA inches, a record breaker, the New Mexican proudly claims. That's a nice thing to be boasting about on the eve of the short session when our neighbor should be on its good behavior, living up to its name, The Sunshine Ter ritory."
