Thanksgiving Day. ‘The observance that will be given Jo to-day by sixty millions of people has the approval of two and a half centuri The history of Thanksgiving Day is fa- miliar to every reader of American his- tory. Its carliest observance in this country was after the first harvest of the New England colonists in 1621, when Governor Bradford issued a proclama- tion summoning the people to meet at a common time and place to rejoice in o1 for the hountiful harvest that had arded their Inbors in the new conti- nent. Subsequently at intervals days of thanksgiving were observed, but it was not until the year 1863 that Thanks- giving Day was proclaimed as a legal holiday of national observance. Fvery. year since the lust Thurs November has been observed as a day of national thanksgiving, and the practice thus established will probably continue for generations, It has grown in favor from year to year, and there is no rea- son to doubt that it will take a stronger hold upon the popular regard with the coming years. Every consideration commends the day to approval and ob- servance, and all the couditions that have contributed to preserve it thus far will operate more strongly in the fu- ture to perpetuate a respect for it. The present year makes a more than ordinary demand upon the gratitude of the American people. This nation has been peculiarly and generously blessed in all material respects, While local- ities may have suffered from one cause and snother, the aggregute results have ndded largely to the wealth of the country, which during the past twelve months has taken a long stride forward in the path of progress. ‘Che peovle as a whole are more prosperous to-day than they were a year ago, the nation is wealthier, and all the conditions to further advancement have been in- creased. The American peoplo have reason to sce still more cl ¢ that the destiny of the republie is to occupy the foremost place among the nations of the carth as a commercial power, with all the possibilities of moral and politic inflience that such a position No other nation has so much \ievements of the past and the prowises of the future to be thankful for. There are connected with the obsery- ance of to-day offices of kindness and beneficence that will occur to all whose feelings are in sympathy with the occa- sion without suggestion. Tt will be suf- ficient to say that those who have every reason to be thankful should endeavor to bring those less happily situated into symputhy with the spirit of the day. The opportunities to do this will not be wanting to those who care to scck them, and there is gratification in the knowledge of having contributed to make others contented and thankful. \\ e trust that every reader of the BEE in o position to fully appreciate the significance and enjoy the festivities of the day. Protesting Too Much, Regan Bros. and Brennan, ignee, in the city hall cont entered protest agninst letting the finished work to a new contractor. we would like to know have to object. Regan for constructing the city ment and basement wus made a yc ago last Septembep. The contract: lowed them until the first of July, 1857 to complete their work. Any respousible contractor could have finished the work by the first of Ma But Regan B turned over their city hall contract to Brennan last winter, and devoted their time and capital to paving. Brennan bimself, had but very limited means, and was in no condition to carry out the con- tract. Regan Bros. knew this,and thera- fore they cannot pretend to be surprised at Brennan’s failure to complete the work by the first of July. Nearly five months have been frit- tored since the @xpiration of the Jimit :d by the contract for complet- ing the basement. Brennan has quit work altogether, when other cuntract- 's on private buildings ave still at He has virtually thrown up the ot by rvefusing to proceed with the work, and the board of public works, very properly, has let his unfinished work to a4 new contractor. This the 3 has a right t do under agrecment with Regan Bros., and their bondsmen are liable for the damage already sustained by inex- cusable delay, The city is paying over ten thousand dollars a year tfor its own offices, board of education, lib ete., which ave all to be accommodate a4 in the city hall building. The delay in the construction of the building will cost the city nearly a yeu rent, besides exposing the books, doc- uments, ete., to destruction in five traps which ure lable to burn down any night. If Regan Bros. or Brennan mean business, why have . they not the mater- ial on hand to finish the work, and why have they not kept right on when the season was so favorable? their as- have run- Now what right they Bros'. all ¥ the re; In the Interest of the Farmers. The wheat growers of the United States are to be congratulated upon the advance in the prices of wheat that has taken place within the past week. The advance in this country naturally fol- lowed that in the English market, which was the natural resul of the de- cline in export from this country. In- stead of an average of 13,000,000 bushels monthly as during the whole of lust seu- son, or an average of 18,000,000 bushels as during the first two months of this sea- son, American exports have lately fallen to an average of 9,000,000 bushels, and with very little prospect of un increase until the next fall erop is in sight. The export in 1886-7 cousiderably excecded the actual surplus from the crop of last year, while the exports in the first two months of 1557-88 were so far above the mark us to be entirely mislending. The latter put a stop to speculation Ly put- ting the wheat operators of the world on the wrong scent; but with a veturn to normal export, speculation is once more reviving. and wheat values which should have been maintained at the average of 1886-87 are now returning to that position. Tt is believed that the decline in wheat was not ooly .not caused by any cowpetition between ex- porting countries, but that the advance ‘ is an effort on the part of England to obtain adequate supplies which other wise would be diverted to the continent. Amcrica, instead of supplying two- thirds of her wants, as in 1886-87, can only supply one-half, and in order to ob- tafn the remainder France, Italy and Belgium have to be compoted with, Russiu has a full erop, but very little of it is reaching England, while India and Australia, pending theic new crop, will only part with the remminder of their small surplus at an advance. The Argentine Republic has o large crop, at leust on paper; but, as inother cuses, the advancing freights are an obstacle, and one that of itself compels higher prices. As the situation now appears, the promise is that the wheat growers of America will realize many millions more for their product than at the close of harvest they seemed likely to do. AvLL advices agree that there is a di position among the members of the na- tional republican committee to look with favor upon the application of Omaha for the national convention. Our ability to provide accommodations for the vast crowd that will attend the convention and our willingness to pro- vide the required fund are the import- ant conditions of which the committec must be satisfied. The former will pre- sent no serious difficulty, but as to the latter the progress making is not en- tirely reassuring, The full amount ought now to be pledged. There is ouly a short time in which to raise the sum needed, and it is to be hoped our liberal citizens will come forward with the sub- scriptions without further delay. It would help the cause a great deal to be able to announce that the money had been pledged Toe decision of the supreme court sustuining the police commission of Omaha in their controversy with the city council creates no surprise in this city. This decree is in accord with the letter and spirit of the law, and in the interest of good government, It sustains the position which the BEE has maintained from the outset of the con- tro between the council and police commission. It is to be hoped that the disgraceful wrangle over police man- agement will now cease and the police commission will be permitted, without further hindrance, to give Omaha ef- ficient police protection. The full text of the decision has not yet been re- ceived, henee our comment upon the points touched by the decision of the court is necessavily witheld. By means of an ingenious device a German farmer living near Himrods, N. Y., committed suicide by hanging and shooting himself at the same time. There is something very cheerful in the announcement that means of self- destruction are securing attention. But it is more cheerful to know that the men whose creative genius conceive the appliances always muke a sweepstakes test case. Tie members of the Lincoln eity council threw a man over a transom. Tt cost them $600 a picce. The next time they will probably open the door and let the gentleman walk out. Inci- dentally it may be stated that the mem- bers of the council feel as if they had been thrown over a four story building. THE methods employed in stamping out pleuro-pneumonia in Tllinois have been successful, Tt is a difficult disease to deal with and requircs persistence and harmonious action among the health board. There are some health hoards that do not pursue this course of action. S—— TuE next congress will be obliged to wrestle with the woman suffrage bill. Anticipating this hundreds of the best women in Kansas have signed a remon- strance against the granting of the equal suTrage, which will be presented to the next congress, THANKSGIVI The laboring men prosperity.

Eastern lumber markets are crowded with supplies, and business is active. Buyers are ing lurger stocks than in former sea- sons. Tn New York wholesale lumbermen who sell to consumers are “‘posted” and for- bidden exchange privileges. The stove manufacturers are greatly wor- ried over the oversold coudition of the stove market. There are certain localitics, how- ever, that are still doing a little business. Throughout the west, stove molding and sell- ing has been for the present overdone. Some cities to the west of Chicago are find- ing that the inter-state freight rates are giv- ing them some advautages over Chicago, and jobbers who have heretofore been doing busi- ness in Chicago have found it cheaper to lo- cate at Davenport and some other cities, Tronmaking is prospering in the south. At Sheftield five furnaces are in course of erec- tion, at Birmingham seven, and at Bessemer two. The great trouble here is the want of coke, and prospecting is going on for the pur- pose of finding the right kind of coking coal. The builders throughout the city have as much work on hand and in sight as they can possibly get through with between now and the holidays. A great deal of new work is projected for next spring, and from present appearances there will be no cessation of ac- tivity. A Pucblo man has invented a street-ca motor that will drive out cables and electri- city. Ordinary gas from the street mains will be used.

Among the indust clothing, paper, glass, brick, kinds of planini work., The reason is that power is cheap, and the surrounding country is being built up very rapidly. The flour and lumber industries foot up $40,000,000 per year, The latest hostility of American working- men to ntralization of any kind, even of u trad nion character, is leading to the increase of national trades-unions under the l\nh{l\ln of Labor, and, under the federation. Five branches of trade are now organizing, and steps are being undvflnhl‘u to organize about w dozen more. Rumors have heencirculated of late that the iron workers of the country would next year make another demand for an advance in wages, A little fuquiry shows that this dis- position exists among the membership, but not among the leaders, who recognize the possibility of a decline in activity within a year or two. A recent investigation into the price of wheat shows that the American farmer has superior advantage for competition into the wheat markets of the world. Charges from “hicago to Liverpool have been reduced wit in seveutoen yoars 30 cents per sixty pound: while the freight rates from India to Live pool have not decreased in that proportion, if ot all, In certain quarters in she west and _south- west there are large settlements of idle men who congregate in the off season in o half- 1d way at a very low price, waiting for the return of the next scason. ‘They hunt and fish us much as possible, and go traveling ;llnlmllryhlx to secure work. They do making the best of the dull season. Kuansas has the lead this year in railroad- building, having built 1,681 miles. Texas fol- lows with 834 miles; Pennsylvania comes hobbling along with 108 miles, and New Jer- 'y reports five miles. But these figures do t represent side-track improvements. In six states and territogies not o single mile of new track was laid. During the Jmt year 1,000 miles of track were laid in India. i The Star-Eyed. Baltimore American.

New Fast Trains on the Burlington— Itemas of Interest. The running schedule of the two fast trains to be put on the Burlington December 4, mention of which has been made in the Br: has been decided upon. No. 1 will leave Chicago daily at 12 o’clock noon. Dinner and supper will be served in the dining cars, and the train will reach Omaha at five o'clock the following morning. At this point a sleeper and dining car will be side tracked, and breakfast will be taken at Lincoln. The Cheyenne slecper will be dropped at Holdrege, dinner will be eaten at Oxford, supper at Akron, and Denver will be reached at 10 p. m., where connections will be made with the Rio Grande's new trains for Utah, Nevada and the Pacific coast. The return train, or Burlington No. 2, will leave Denver at 10 p. m., breakfast at Oxford next moruing, pick up the Cheyenne sleeper at Holdrey dine at Lincoln and arrive in Omaha at 3:30 p. m. ; attach sleeper and din- ing car and arvive in Chicago the fol- low morning at 8§ m. The whole run includes dozen stops, and the stations where these stops are ade are cighty miles apart, This annihilat- ing of time on the part of the Burlington will no doubt rebound to their credit, and in the wain be appreciated by the traveling public., STOP-OVER CHECKS.

A FAMILY OF CROOKS. The Barretts Notorious Desperados— Their Doings in Minnesota, Detective James Howard, of Minneapolis, arrived yesterday with requisition papers for the alleged murderer Peter Barrett. The prisoner will be taken to Minnesota to-mor- row night. Mr. Howard says that they have a dead sure thing on both the Barretts, und that they will undoubtedly be hanged. According to Detectives Howard and Kin- ney the Barrett family is composed of des- perate characters. They afiirm that no less than fifteen charges for highway robbery are pendingagainst Tim and Pete Barrett. One of their boldest crimes was at Minnehaha Falls, where they forced a lady and two children to take off their j © point of a revolver. Even Mrs. Barrett, mother of the boys, has aided them in mes. Some siuce the family started from Omaha to Minneapolis, Tim would take one of the horses and go ahead a fow miles and sell it to some farmer. Tho next day the old woman would reach the place and demand the horse, claiming that it had been stolen and if the farmer showed a dispo property she would threaten him with prosecution. This would cause the farmer to give in. In this way the same horse was sold and reclaimed six times. Ofi- cers in Omaha corroborated these state- M. H.
