In accordance with the proclama- tions of President Arthur and the gov- ernors of the varlous states, to.day will bo generally observed as a day of national thanksgiving. The country at large have good cause for congratulations over an im- monse harveat. We have garnered and stored in our stacks and bins over five hundred million bushels of wheat, or almost ten bushels a head for every man, woman and child in the United States,. Oor corn crop is the largest on record, and runs into the billions. Cotton has been a great success for the farm- ers and plantara everywhore, and the crop is large enough to secure a pros- perous year to the Gulf states. Such & showing will discount any of the foars entertained that our induatries aro about to experience a period of depression. Food is plenty, and with cheap food tho days of want and dis- tress are atill at a distance, Politietlly, the country has much to be thankful for, The spirit of in- dependence among voters, which was exhib'ted in the iate election, is a cause for congratulation, Just at present the democrats imagiao that that they have greater reason to givo thanks than the republicans, The gain of a few con. greazmen by thab party may not in in the long run, however, offset the s taughtrepublicans solone, and in found tha' the ¢ will cowme from sring under a e who are now inflicted defe aska i enta, that age is al- ont glves assurancd of » steady So, taken all togsther, we can all Bav exerciso the Dominion government | down to.day to our Thanksgiving bur. key and eat our dinner with its oran- berry trimmings with & heaxty rolish, T'rAT there is neod of another bridge at Omahs everybody conversant with the facts must admit. The present Union Pacific bridge, quite apart from the question of toll, is not in condi- tion to promptly accommodate the heavy railrcad traffic that must pass over it, much less the increasing trav- el of passengors and vehicles be- tween Council Bluffs and Omaha, That a second bridge would be of vast advantage to the people onboth sides of the river, there can be no doubt. Owing to the peculiar location, Omaha does not afford the necessary grounds for a certain class of manufactures, cattle yards and freight transfer that can fbe faccommodated on the east side of theriver within one mile walk of the heart ofthe city. So long as thero is no means, of rapid trans- for between Omaha and Council Bluffs a great traffic that would grow up in consequence mus: remain paraly- zed, Oouncil Bluffs,through the fertili- ty of Pottawattamia county,would fur- nish Omahs an excellent and constant supply of farw and orchard products.

Principles First, Party After—The Union of Ali Anti-Monopo- hsts Urged. Correspondence of Trn Bxn. Fremont, Neb,, November 20.— I have had the satisfaciton of a daily reading of your articles on thesubjects of anti-monopoly, anti-prohibition, free trade, civil service reform, and on economical and honest administra- tion of government., No American cltizen who has a reasonable regard for the credit and prosperity of a peo- people of which he is a responsible party in the body politio can help hut sympathizs with you in your effortsin 80 laudable a dircction, Whils I, as a democrat, have, for stroggling in support of these patriotio measures, been stigmatized as a dis- turber of the harmony of the demo- ic party; go you, for the advdcacy sasures as a republican, But to you or me tuch condemnation, coming, as it does, not from the honest re- om 1opoly bread-and- Iue Bee Ic that you have no doubt, ar know that I do not doubt, but that the mass of the anti-monopoly and democratic voters of this state sympa thiza with von in ronr struggle forthe af , while certain in- ! ders in tho dew- tic party and the stalwart repub- lican “parvy treat such principles as sommunistic, Then why skould not the membera of the legislature in the organization and election divide on these live issues instead of by party names? But you eay in to.day’s Beg, ‘‘there is no dauger thab the Nebraska legis lature will elect a democratic scnator 20 long as a cundidate of a good anti- monopoly record who will vote with the republiczns on natfonal izsues can be secured.” But every national and state issue that you and every true anti-monopoly republican and demo- crat seek to reform, so far as appears in Tue Beg, have been evils growing out of national and state republican rule, Then why fear the election of a true, none other, democrat or repub- ican whose record is good on the par- ty issues of to-day? The fear of such a democrat or re- publican is without reason. Buch a fear would make one fear the action of Senator Van Wyck in the United States senate. e You do not mean that any candidate for the chief offices of the legislature shall be such a republican as will go into a stalwart caucus and be govern- ed by its action, If so, then in the future as in the past, must we look for such action from republican membera of the anti monopoly party as the stalwarts choose to dictate. And this means exlotlly what every true demoorat must avoid. It means further, all government patronage worth having to be given to stalwarts, not anti-monopoly republicans, ‘While the election of a true anti- monopoly democrat, by the joint ac- tion of anti-monopoly republicans, would mean the carrying out of anti- monopoly measures in the state and BoMk of the members of the late senatorial syndicate appear anxious to inveatigate the conduct of the election in this county.

His Lesp for Liberty and Where It Oarried Him—A Hard Ride on & ‘Wounded Horse—Thirty Miles in Three Hours. Atbens (Ga.) Banner, *‘Let me introduce you to Mr, Joe Thurmond,” remarked a gentleman to us on Tuesday last. We looked up from our work ex. pecting to see s hardened outlaw, girdled with pistols and bowie knives, standiug at our side; but instead of that we met a swiling face, cleanly shaved with the exception of & heavy black mustache.

We motioned our visitor to a seat, and after a fow commonplace remarks broached the subject of his escape, Without & moment’s hesitation he gave us the following account of his career, from the time that he took leg ‘bal!l until his voluntary surrender: *“I had no idea of attempting an es- cape,” he began, ‘‘when I was carried from the jail to the courthouse, but had determined to die sooner than go to the penitentiary. But while sitting in my chair in Judge Jackson's office a sudden desire seized me to make the attempt, and withou: stopping to con- sider for a moment or count the prob- able cost, I made a bolt for the win- L:low, but some one caught my foot, just as I was about passing through, that caused me to fall on my head and receive a fearfal shoo, I then rushed for my horse, expecting each instant to be shot down in my tracks, but I intended to die rather than surren- der. You know how I made my escape. One of Browning's bullets grazed my leg, and, ing through the saddle skirt and blanket, entered the sidé of the nag I was riding After_getting beyond range of the balls I headed toward Brooklyn, but when about two miles out of town the horse began to give way under me, when I rode out in & pine thicket to see what was the matter. Upon re- moving the saddle I discovered the wound, and knew that the beast counld not me further, I tarned it loose and started for home on foot, and by a circuitous route had to travel fourteen miles before getting there, But my leaving my horse behind saved me from_capture, as the officors thought I was still hid out in the thicket, and so did not tele- graph. I only remained home an hour—just long enough to get some money, bid my family good-by and start for Lawrenceville, thirly miles distant, Taking my little brother in the buggy, we made the trip in just three hours, but it nearly killed the horse 1 was driving. I traveled at night, passing through Jug Tavern, and met several men on the road that I knew, but I had my hat slounched over my face and they did not recog- nize me, not even mwy uncle, whose house I passed, Just as I drove into Lawrencoville the train was steamed up ready to leave, and I got aboard. Had I been ten minutes later it would have loft me, I met with another streale of good luck whon I gotto Sawannee, the junction with tie Air- line, I got from aboard assocu as tho cara stopped, and, stepping into a dark corner, remained there until the regular train came along, vhich was just ten minutes.

I had strong friends in Atlanta to plead my cause, among them Dr. King and Heury Grady, and so am once more a free man, It was whisky and cards that brought me all this trouble, and I have made a solemn pledge to my mother, never again, 80 long as I llve, to allow another drop of the cursed stuff to pass my lips or throw another card. Her distreas gave me greaterpain than anything else, and I shall see that she has not further cause for grief on my account, This scrape has been a ser- fous matter to me.
