Ac- cording to a long-honored custom the President has proclaimed it to be the duty of every citizen to pause on this day to offer expressions of gratitude for the blessings that have been sent to the nation and in observance of this official suggestion, echoed by the governors of the siates, the peeple have made the day a holiday, have suspended their business affairs, lessened the strain of active life and have framed their thoughts on lines of grateful recogni- tion of the favors bestowed upon this land by nature and a propitious Providence. Some Thanksgiving days have found the people grateful only for the absence of those ills from which they have been spared. They have been glad that they were noi vis- ited with disappointments and losses, while there has been little of material considera- tion that has come to them as positive biessings during the year. But 1897 finds a great majority of the people prosperous, happy and hepeful. They have been spared from many of the visitations of which na- ticns stana in dread. The southern states have suffered somewhat from pestilence. but fortunately at such a season and under such circumstances of administration that comparatively little damage was wrought. The republic has preserved the peace with the other nations of the earth and has at no point lost prestige or suffered an in- fraction of its dignity. It has changed its representation abroad, owing to political chatiges at home, but throughout the world it has maintained peaceful relations and its ambassadors and ministers have upheld the honor of the government. At home the material interests of the peo- ple have been fostered by wise laws and benefited by the conditions of other parts of the world. The abundant crops have filled the store-houses while the markets have invited the products of the soil and the mill at such prices that the American farm- ers, merchants, manufacturers and work- ingmen have reaped a rich harvest. Busi- ness confidence has been in a measure re- stored and the effects of the great com- mercial spasm of the years just previous have been partly forgotten in the uplifting of every interest. Capital has come forth With assurance from its hiding places and in the stead of throngs of hungry men and women, without the means of livlihood, there now smile in happy thankfulness thousands of contented ones, sure of the morrow and grateful for their deliverance from a gloomy past. This spirit of gratitude is the more mani- fest because of the practical assurance that the present conditions will remain stable, save so far as they will in all like- lihood tend toward a betterment of the material conditions surrounding ttie people. The prosperity now upon the land fs not a fitful gleam. It is due to sudsiantia! causes and its continuation for a period of years now seems altogether [ikely. In the homes of this city there are to- day being enacted many happy scenes. for the capital has shared in the general prog- ress of the entire nation toward better times. Washington is well content with its present stage, hopeful for even better things. grateful for what it has received and glad to be abie with confidence to look forward to further gifts from Providence. oe Europe's Bear-Garden. The Austrian reichsrath yesterday reach- ed the climax that has been threatening ever since the present stormy session of that body, began in September. It now re- mains to be seen what effect the riot will ave upen the political fortunes of the erman party in Austria, who are the ause <f tne present trouble. It cannot be uibted that these turbulent scenes in « legislature are due to deep-seated ses that spring from the complex com- position of the empire, and they are there- fore the more disquieting in their effect upon corservative interests throughout the world. There is no general desire any- where to be noted for an outbreak of the n confitct that has so long been The nations of the earth, save in a few marked instances, seek peace rather than war, and thus it is that some anxiety is arising iest perhaps Austria's present embarrassments, due wholly to in- ternal quarrels, may upset the European balance. Austria is an important member ot the Dreibund. She is a close ally of Germany, through the personal friendship between their rulers. She has no quarrel with Kussia and possesses ample means and a strong armament, though she is not today im the same ciass as a military poteatiahty with some of the other na- tions of Europe. Her possessions are rich, Ler people in large measure are intelligent and she has ambitions that give rise to the behef that if the existing schism be- tween her factions were suppressed Aus- tria might make a considerable stir in continental pohucs. But yesterday's riot in the reichsrath incicates clearly that Austria has at present a suflicient problem in the preservation of integrity as an em- pire, ana the first direct symptom of disin- tegrauon may become the signal for strife throughout Europe. ns The European complications in connec- tion with the Chinese coast convey to Li Hung Chang the melancholy suggestion that there is small chance of its being settled without his losing a portion of his official wardrobe. —~-e-+___ First on Deck. A few days ago The Star, in some obser- vations about the probable program of the populist party for the next presidential campaign, pointed to the likelihood of ear- lier action by that party than by the ether parties in the matter of platform and nominations. The opinion was ex- pressed that the populists would be the first in the field, and with a declaration of principles embodying their real purposes and desires. This opinion has been most promptly justified. The national organization com- mittee of the populist party in session at St. Louts adopted an address yesterday outlining a national! platform and calling a national convention to make nominations on it for April of next year. This is hur- rying things beyond all modern precedent. But it may be a wise course for the popu- Mists to pursue. There is no doubt that they were badly divided and buncoed last year as the result of being late in the field. Their convention at St. Louis was manipu- lated more in the interests of the silver democracy than in their own interests, and was finally decoyed into action which made the party something of a jest during the campaign. They cannot hope to escape overtures from the silver democracy for fusion again, but if they declare esrly and perfect an organization for a vigorous campaign, they will be in position ted, frem whatever source and to what- ever purport, with some chance of profit to themselves. ‘These middle-of-the-road populists, it is to be observed, have taken no backward step. They declare now for what they have long declared—fiat money, govern- ment ownership of railroads and tele- graph lines, and a sweeping paternalism in all directions. They represent truly and fully the real populist idea of government. will profit by such a deal only so far as the financial aims of the outside capitalists in- clude in their scope the betterment of these terrainal routes. But it 1s evident that without such betterments the Columbia and Maryland road would be of little or no value to its new owners, and it is safe to assume that somethirg will be done, in the event of a consummation of the negotia- tions, toward an honest compliance with the desires of Congress and of Washington In a word, they are the real thing. They | that these properties should be placed upon know what they want, and they boldly | ® ™odern basis without needless delay. and frankly ask for it. If this program is carried out its impor- tance will greatly depend on the nomina- tions made. A ticket headed by an ob- scure or a mediocre man would command no attention. A bold initiative cails for a bold man. Will the populists, thus two years in advanee of the promised action of the democracy, put forward Mr. Bryan for the presidency? And {f they do, upon a platform undisguisedly populistic, will he accept?

Their plaint is all for the natives. The natives were not consulted about the everthrow of the monarchy. The natives were not consulted about the formation of the goverament which took the monarchy’s place. The natives are not being consulted abgut the prcposed transfer of the islands to the United States. One might suppose the whole project to be a base conspiracy against the happiness and prospects of the Hawaiian race. But is it? Let the record speak for what the condi- tion of the natives was under the mon- archy. What voice had they in affairs then? Who consulted them about any- thing? Who suffered more, according to their stake at home, than did the natives from the incapacity and viciousness of the monarchical government? What prosperity or prospects had they then? What would be their condition today if the monarchy, with aH the rings and corruptions which flourished under it, still existed? On the other hand, who of the inhabi- tants of the islands, whether native or for- eign born, can fail to profit by the transfer of the territory to the United States? The project means improvement on every hand. There is no industry which will not feel the effects of it. The particular form of the new government is not so much to the point. Let it be granted that a territorial form is prescribed and continues for some time. Government by the United States in any form is so great an advance on the old form of government in Hawaii that the islands will benefit by the new program no matter what it may be. This outcry about the natives in Hawaii is all humbug. As American territory, the islands will make rapid advances along all the lines of progrees pessible in that lat- itude. They are certain to become as rich as they aow are fair and inviting. The natives, to the full extent of their powers, will have such opportunities as they have never had before, and never could have in any other possible circumstances. It is not oniy the merest humbug, therefore, but the veriest waste of breath, to be bewailing the fate of people who are on the eve of such manifest and unmistakable good for- tune. To ail the people of Hawali, whether native or foreign born, whether rich or >oor, prominent or obscure, the raising of the Stars and stripes on the islands will mean the inauguration of the greatest and most beneficial era in the island’s history. ——_+e< Exclude the Eels. By all means the District government should take steps to filter the Potomac water sufficiently to eliminate the eels from the supply. The letter printed in Tvesday’s Star from a citizen who has’ recently suffeced from the presence of a large and ambitious eel in his supply pipe skould elicit the hearty sympathy of the entire community. Eels may not be taken into the system as readily as bacteria, ard they may be more easily recognized upon discovery than some brands of micro- cocei, but these facts do not warrant such negligence as permits them to invade the mains and the smaller ducts leading to the domestic founts. No large filter beds are necessary to exclude the eels. No elab- orate mechenism is needed. A screen hung in front of the inlets at the various points of distribution would accomplish the pur- pose. The city should guarantee, in return for the fec exacted for water service, a fluid free from such large forms of life as the anguilla rostrata, which is, after all, very much of an acquired taste. ———~++e—____.

Whatever may be the exact nature of the bargain now teing arranged for the sale of the Columbia and Maryland railroad prop- erty to a newly formed syndicate, it is the devout hope of every Washingtonian that this deal may result in the cutting of the Gordian knot into which the present owner- ship has tangled this line and its urban connections. What Washington wants is rapid transit on these lines. It does not mech care who furnishes it, save that, other things being equal, the capital would prefer to have its local franchises under the control of local men, who are at all times susceptible to the force of local pub- lic opinion. Weshington insisis, however, that the overhead trolley system shall not be considered in ccnnection with the roads that lie within its boundaries. The two urban lines that cennect directly and indi- rectly with the Columbia and Maryland— the Eckington and Belt—are in a deplor- able condition today, largely, if not wholly, as a result of the deliberate mismanage- ment of their majcrity’ owners. If placed upon a rapid transit basis—by preference the underground electric—they would al- most surely become profitable properties. Their improved equipment would encour- age traffic to return that which has gone to other lines, beside building up sections of the city that have been stunted by reason of the wretched transportation facilities afforded by the horse cars. Of course, the men now negotiating for the possession of the Columbia and Maryland road have an eye singie to profits. It is suggésted that it is their purpose to complete the long- projected “boulevard” line between this city and New York, and that their interest in the Washington city lines is merely In- cidental to their desire to secure convenient terminal facilities for this splendid enter- The Chief Item of Expense.

It is stated that the electric railroad Projected to run between this city and Washington, upon which much work was done before the hard times came, has passed into other hands, and will be fini}° ished and operated either by electricity or steam. Whenever as large an amount of ‘money is expended on an enterprise as was used on this road, the work is rarely aban- doned, unless a rival road acquires in- terests, because toe much capital has been paid out for the investors to be satisfied with receiving no earnings. The service by the steam roads between Baltimore and Washington is good, but it is presumed the Projectors of the new road thought there was business enough for another, or they would not have begun work. The new road, if completed, will touch points not reached by the steam roads; but, as stops will be frequent, it is inferred the time will: be. longer, unless express trains are used: The many electric roads and branches that now reach out into the country around Baltimore have contributed greatly to ‘the development of the country, and the result has been a lowering of rates to nearby points. These are matters which, after all, most interest the people. Competition is to be looked for in all sorts of enterprises in these days, and what sults the people best will receive their patronage. It is rumored that the new road may be used as a means of giving the Southern railway, which now stops at Washington, an entrance into Baltimore. Further d velopment will disclose what use the new purchasers will make of their property. Cuba Will Be Free. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. It is very doubtful whether the Cubans who have seen so many lives lost and so much property destroyed will trust to any promises. Nezrly 200,000 regular troops have been sent to Cuba during the course of Gen. Weyler’s administration. Gen. Blanco reports that at the present time less than 90,000 are fit for duty. More than 40,000 are in the hospitals, and something like 63,000 are unaccounted for. They are either dead or have been sent home. . Now, if 290,000 troops could not conquer Cuba, what can 90,000 troops do? The uprising in Cuba has had one object in view, and that is absolute independence. We very much mistake the situation there if the revolutionists shall agree to any~ thing short of it. ——_>+e—____ Why He Killed the Cow. Frem the LaGrange (Ga.) Graphic. Mr. Reuben Smith, who runs a beef mar- ket on Ridley street, killed a cow last week, and in the cow’s stomach he found the following articles: Six shingle nails, three horscshoe nails, three barbed-wire staples, one brass medal, on which was stamped the picture of Grover Cleveland. These things follow in logical sequence. First, the stomach gets used to shingle nails, then comes the desire for tougher diet and the stomsch has to be fed on barbed-wire staples. And then comes the last stage of stomach debauchery and after eating barbed-wire staples constantly for five or six months the stomach gets so it can even retain a brass picture of Grover Cleveland. But that is the last stage. Few stomachs go that far. Mr. Smith did right in killing the cow. 5 ———_++o—___ The Good Boy is Nowhere. Frem the Punxentawney (Pa.) Spirit.

But the student still has an advantage over the athlete.

From the Philadelphia Record. Money is the true king. The smart scheme of the German kaiser to sell the Sultan of Turkey guns and build him war ships to be paid for out of the Greek indemnity—thus enabling the porte to build np its independ- ence of European control on the basis of late victories in war and diplomacy—has ‘been nipped in the bud by- Russia and Aus- tria. Russia has demanded payment of the war debt of 1878, and Austria has put in a claim for indemnification for later indebted- ness which the sultan has been forced to comply with. Thus German toses fat con- tracts and diplomatic prestige, and the Turks find their legs tied by debt. ——_+ +e ____ Remembered in Richmond.
