The and Its Capital Thanks. The people of the United States have every reason for feeling grateful for the blessings that have been extended to them in the course of the year. Prosperity has returned ta the land after a period of panic and depression, and the industries of the country are once again enjoying the benefits of renewed commercial activity and confidence. The sturdy citizens have thrown off the welght of discouragement and before them now extends a wide pros- pect of peaceful years, closing a century of most marvelous progress and enlighten- ment. The country's international rela- tions today are such that there is no im- Mediate prospect of a war with any foreign power. The spirit of patriotic American- ism still swuys the people, and guides their rulers in all they do. A present disagree- Ment with a great nation fs in a fair way to be amicably settled in a.fashion that will not reflect upon the honor and in- tegrity of the people of this country, who, Nation Give however, would immediately resent any otker solution. Thanks to the wisdom of the thers of the country who laid the foundations of a safe policy of government, this nation has been kept out of the “en- tangling ailiances’ with the nations of Burope, which might today threaten the peace and prosperity of the people on this side of the ocean, in view of the unfor- tunate complications now involving the powers that control the eastern hemisphere.- At home there has been peace throughout the land. The people of this country are firmly bound together by ties of common interest, and they are today the more closely united for the struggle of more than @ quarter century ago, which has resulted in clearing away sectional differences and has now brought harmony and a better understanding among the citizens of every Part of the land. In the past year there have been disasters here and there through the country, but a kindly Providence has kept the people from general calamity, for which they are doubtless heartily thankful on this day set apart by the Chief Mag- istrate for national expressions of grati- tude. «The people of Washington should offer thanks for the blessing of continued pros- perity. The city has grown and many Strangers have come to live here adding to its culture and its wealth. The year has indeed been filled with blessings for those who dwell beneath the shadow of the great white dome that surmounts the nation’s council house, and Thanksgiving Day of 1895 should be an occasien of gen- eral rejo . ——- 2 ee Short Walks for Congressmen. Some time between dinner and dusk this afternoon a few of the one hundred and seventy-seven new members of Congress who have a little time left from their cam- paigning for committee places ought to ride or stroll out toward the once beantiful Anacostia river that now looks more like a mud hole than a stream and has been rele- gated to the ignominious title of the East- ern Branch. Perhaps some dld inhabitant may tell them how at one time earlier in the century fuil-rigged ships could sail far up that stream and how cargoes were unloaded even at Bladensburg, miles above the city. They will see the channel constricted be- tween narrow banks, its depth decreased to but a few feet at high tide, while at the ebb the watercourse is “little more than a mud flat. It may occur to some of these Congressmen that at a comparatively small expenditure, greater now, to be sure, than once it might have been, this valuable m might be reclaimed from the worse useless condition into which it has ‘They may realize that these than now fallen. marshes menace the health of a large tion of the Washington people. They may possibly imagine the scene of beauty into which this desolate arga might be convert- ed by the accomplishment of some such project as that which kas resulted in the jamation of the flats on the southw d* of the city. Perhaps they will be so much impressed by what they see that they will even advocate an amendment tu the next river and harbor bill appropriat- ing a generous sum for the commencement ff such a work, that has been delayed far beyond the necessities. 1f such thoughts come to their minds their trip will be Profitable to them and beneficial to the peo- ple of the District, who ere forced to de- Pend upon them for the legislation permit- ting all such pubile improvements. + 2 Dayid B, Hill's lecture tour is not at- icting the crowds that were louked for. lace has been tao much pamper pn educated to feel that wh out to hear a politici nit n it is doing him a favor rather than incurring an obli- ge Uen which calls for an admission fee. —— re-establishment of the presidential y-boxes at this time when there is rothing but peace in the general atmos- phei ves to fasten suspicion on the member of Congress as the inspiration cf So much precaution. —_ e+_____ ‘The coming Congress has so much before it that may be done that there is some prospect of its effecting the- usual com- promise and doing nothing. ——- ee Mr. Chandler will ollserve with a grati- tude befitting the day that the country has not yet gotten so far as a turkey trust. ees gg The Oleomargarine Prosecutions. The matter of criminal prosecutions which, it is stated, will shortly be hecun egainst a number of retail dealers in oleo- margarine will be of concern to a large number of householders in the District. ,The result ought to put a check for a time at least to a very general system of deception and extortion, whereby consumers are made to pay from 25 to 35 cents a pound for an erticle which the dealer buys for i2 or 14 cepts and palms off upon the customer as butter. It should be understood that the Parties who will be made defendants in these prosecutions are not charged with defraud- ing the government. It is not charged that they sold oleomargaNne for which they had not paid the tax. Nor that they had not pald the special tax (popularly called “license”) for carrying on the vocation of retail dealers in oleomargarine. In both of these respects the law had probably been complied with. The offense charged is the violation of sec- tion six of the oleomargarine act by selling olcomargarine in a paper package, not marked and branded as the commissioner of internal revenue has prescribed, as by sald section he was authorized to prescribe, to wit: The word oleomargarine and the quan- tity (one pound, one-half pound, etc., as the case may be) in letters not less than one- quarter of an inch square, legibly written, priuted or branded on the outside of the package, so placed as to be plainly visible to the purchaser at the time of delivery to him of the goods. The selling of oleomar- garine in a paper package not so visibly and conspicuously marked is the offense that the law punishes, when it is done knowingly. And that it has been done krowingly is always to be presumed when the sale is made by an authorized retail dealer in oleo- margarine—one who has paid the special tax for carrying on the business, and who has, as the law requires him to have, his special tax stamp conspicucusly displayed ‘at bis place of business, and especially when he sella the goods out of a stamped and branded box of oleomargarine, bought by him as such. The enormous profits of the business of selling oleomargarine as butter, and for the price of butter, undoubtedly tempt many persens to “do as others, do.” The production and sale of oleomargarine has become a business of such vast proportions that the preventicn of fraud upon butter producers and butter consumers ig almost beyond the power of government agencies. In many states'the matter: bas: been made the subject of special and very stringent laws. In Pennsylvania the manufacture and sale of oleomargsrine has been prohib- ited. In Iowa they have the “pink” law, under which olecmargarine is required to be colored pink by the manufacturer. As may well be supposed, pink oleomargarine is not in any great demand. It would seem, however, that some such requirement is the only: practicable: means of preventing oleomargarine from being sold as butter. ‘The manufacturers of cleomargarine are, however, urwilling that their commodity should be placed on the market under a distinctive color, or even without any color, as is it’ nature. They refuse to acquiesce In the prypcsition that butten has acquired any prior right to its distinctive color, and, therefore, they endeavor to imitate it in the minutest particulars in color, packing and other de:ails. This being so, it only re- mains for the federal and state authorities to invoke such laws as they have to pro- tect the people from deception and extor- tion. —_—__ e+ ____ American Holidays. ‘The national tendency is to do things with zest and enthusiasm. Half measures are not regarded as American. All that is done on this continent is done heartily and vigor- ously, and this trait develops itself in a marked manner in the American acceptance of a holiday. New Year, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas—all are celebrated in the hearty fashion that characterizes the nation. Today in particular this tendency to utilize a “day off” to the best advantage becomes pronounced. Among the youth of the city foot-ball rules the day. This violent sport has taken a great hold upon the people and seems to be on the crest of popularity’s wave. Bicycle races-and century runs are other features of the holiday sport, and the younger generation is not alone in partieipa- tion in and attendance upon such events. The American holiday is no longer with a large percentage of the people a day of rest and recreation in the proper and original meaning of the latter term, but it is a time of relaxation only from customary avoca- tions and a day of the exercise of unusual evergy in. vigorous pleasure seeking. The fundamental character of the day of Thanksgiving has, of course, remained un- changed, and a great number of the people continue to observe the day in the manner proclaimed by the Chief Magistrate. The more volatile elements of the population wel- come the play-time that a national custom affords, and the more sober citizens follow their Thanksgiving bent in quiet and peace. —_—___ + + = ___.
