The work of the firemen durivg the burning of nn, Mass., was seriously hindered and the lives of the men endangered by a network of wires. Security of life and property demand that the wires be put under grouad, THANKSGIVING. The recurrence of Thanksgiving day brings from year to year very much the same reflections. All that has been said and written of the day and its offices in the past will apply with very littie modification to the present. It holds out the same invitation now that it hns ever dome to a reverential acknowledgment of the divine favor to the nation, to good cheer, and to a manifestation of the spirit of practical charity. The Puritans made it a holy day, devoted almost entively to celigious obsorvance. In later years it has become a holiday to the masses of the people, though still retaining, as it must always do, its religions meaning. It is in fact a nationa) festival, tem- pered by a feeling of gratitude and thankfulness, Tn its purpose and influ- onces it is improving and elevating. [t has been said that no one of us must ever expect to come upon a day of unbounded, unmingled thanks- giving. Thore is for all who have reached the years of manhood and womanhood memories of a sad past and the reflection that the future will have s and gorrow. To many this an- ry will summon such memories and reflections, But it is not rightly to regurd Thanksgiving day to give it a narrow and personal application. Not ividual, but the general welfave, is what this day has to do with, In ils broad ana truc sense it calls upon us to be thankful for the peace, prosperity and progress of a nation, and this all may do with whom selfishness is not su- preme. The man who disduinfully asks on this day, beeause he may have failed in some of his enterprises or met with some other misfortune, “What have I to be thankful for?” istoo much ab- sorbed in self to be a good friend or a good citizen, To such a man the priv- ileges of freedom are nothing, the ad- vance of popularenlightenment and the growth of all the agencies of moral and social improvement do not concern him, the progress of his coun- try in all the conditions of greatness is not a matter of conse- quence to him. In his all-pervading sclfishness there is no place for patriot- ism or for interest in vhe wellare of his fellowmen. There is none so poor or so unfortunute in his personal affairs that he may not, if ho be able to rise n.bu\L self, ind in the fact that he isa en of the great republic,and in the satness and glory of his country, much to be thankful for. And this is the proper view to take of the meaning of Thanksgiving day. Any other must narrow and dwarf its significance and purpose. SIX NEW SENA1ORS. The states of North and South Da- kotaand Washington have been par- ticularly fortunate in the selection of their first representatives in the upper houso of congress. The six new senu- tors ave men of more than average ability, thoroughly conversant with the wants of their respective states, and ac- identified with the development sperity of the west. ors Moody and Pettigrew outh Dakota need no intro- duction 1w the people of this section. Their history is in- separable from that of Dakota. To them is largely due the prominence given the productive wealth of the then terri- tory, which stimulated immigration and popuiated its vich upiands and valleys and mineral hills with half a million industrious people. North Dakota’s new senators are men of equal prominence, energy and ability. Bx-Governor Gilbert Pierce well deserved the honor of a unanimous election to the senate. Though com- paratively & new comer, he sig- nalized his advent as governor in 1883 by championing the cause of the against the grasping railroad and nle‘nl!or mo- nopolies which sought to not only run the government but to strangle con tition and rob the farmers of the legiti- mate fruits of their lubor. The second sonator chosen is Lyman R. Casey, an active business man and farmer, years of age. A man of high e} and culture, and of wide acquaintance throughout the country, he has taken alending part in furthering the inter- ests of the producers, and for been an officer of the Farmers’ alliance. Pierce and Casey ave worthy represen- tatives of the brain and sinew of the uew stave, Osman C. Squire and«John B. Allen will represent Washington in the sen- ate, The former is a resident of Seattle and one of the enterprising, wealthy men of that section. He is the republi- can of republicans in the state, and to his ability as an orator and manager and long purse is largely due the sweeping victory of the party. His col- league is a resident of Walla Walla, young in years but old in experience. As delegate from the territory he earned promotion by notable activity in congress in behalf of statehood, In character, ability and energy, the six new senators will make a notable addition to vepublican strength in the senate. Coming fresh from the people, ihey embody the progressive spirit of the west, and will prove worthy repre- sentatives of the sturdy pioneers whose indomitable perseverance hewed states cut of a trackless wilderness. e———— ELECTIVE POSIMASTERS, Mr. Rosewell P. Flower of New York states that he will present a bill in congress relegating the selection of pustmasters, custom bouse officials and internal revenue collectors, and other minor offices of the federal government, to the people of the vicinage wherein their duties are performed, He thinks congress should provide for the election of these officers at stated periods of four years, 80 as to insure rotation in office, and the only responsi- bility left to the executive should be in the power to remove for cause, and in such cases a new election could provide for the successor of the officer 80 removed, The constitution of the United States provides thav the president shall have power, by and with the advice and con- sent of the senate, to nomiuate and ap- point “*ambassadors, other public min- isters and consuls, judges of the su- preme court, and all other officersof the United States whose appointments are years has. not herein olhermse provit\od for and ' which shall be established by law.” Con- | gross is authorized to *‘vestthe appolut- ment of such inferior officers as they think proper in the president alone, in the courtsof law or in the heads of de- partments. Under this wuthority the president and postmaster general now have the appointment of fourth-class postmasters, and other inferior officers are appointed by the president or by headsof departments without the ad- vice and consent of the senate, It can- not be doubted .that the classes of officers which Mr. Flower would relegate to the choice of the people are embraced in this constitu- tional provision, so that a law of con- gress would not be sufficient to carry out his plan. A constitutional amend- ment would bo necessary. The most congress could do would be to vest the appointment of all these officers in the president alone or in the heads of de- partments. In the main, Mr. Flower's proposed reform would doubtless commend itself to the people. No public official is more intimately thrown into contact with the people than the postmaster and nothing can rouse a community to a higher pitch of resentment than the appointment of an unpopular postmus- tor, and this postoffice patronage has defeated move congressmen and senn- tors than any other agency. If there were no constitutional obstacle in the way of Me. Flower’s plan, a large ma’ jority in both houses of congress would cheerfully join him and allow the people to elect their postmasters. It is doubtful, however, whether the election of collectors of cus- toms and internal revenue by pop- ular vote would be an improvement on the present method of selection. Every- body knows that the people cannot al- ways be relied upon to make the best and wisest choice of public servants. THE WORK TEREST. Nobody has a more vital interest in carrying the viaduct and depot propo- sition and the proposition to vote a bonus for the erection of a new railrond bridge than the workingmen of Omaha. 1f these propositions are defeated, the outlook for the building season of 1800 is not very promising. It is notorious that many building enterprises will not be undertaken until after the prohibi- tion issue which comes up in November of next year, has been definitely settlod. If on the other hand both of these propositions carry, we are assured of an active revival of building enterprises of such magnitude as to insure the perma- nent employment of thousands of workingmen and an active de- mand for labor generally. It is conceded on all haunds that the removal of the railroad em- bargo will bring millions of foreign cap- ital to Omaha for permanent invest- ment in warehouses, store buildings, elevators, mills and factories. Wage- workers are therefore more vitally in- terested in these pending. propositions than any other class of the community. Those who have alrendy acquired homes in Omaha will find it to their advantage to support these bond propositions, not only because the trifling increase of taxes will bo offset by a very marked increase in the value of their lots, in whatever part of the city they are lo- cated, but also becauze dull times mean lower wages and possible lack of em- ployment, while brisk times mean good wages and steady work. The enforced idleness of any work- ingman for half a day in the year would lose him move,money than the increase of taxes under these propositions on a home worth from one to three thousand dollars. The workingman who has ac- quired no real estate in Omaha cor- tainly has much to gain and nothing to lose in supporting the propositions. ‘I'hat fact is as plain us the nose on a man’s face. The law that governs wages is that of demand and supply, and the interest of every wageworker is to increase the demand as much as pos- sible und as soon as possble. THE condition and outlook of the iron trade of the country is one of the most reassuring features in the business sit- vation. 1t is an accepted maxim that the condition of this trade is a barome- ter of commercial and industrial pros- perity, so that the almost unparalleled vevival and extension of the iron indus- try is to be regared as promising an im: provement iv all the channels of busi- ness. In Great Britain the iron trade has been active for nearly a year past, due to the busy shipbuilding industry to a greatly enlarged outside demand. The re- quirements from these sources exceeded the capacity of the British mills, and pig iron was imported from this coun- try. The depression in the industry in the United Stutes begun to disappear two or three months ago, and there has since been a steady and rapid improve- ment, the mills generally heing now fully employed on ample orders at re- munerative prices. Steel rails have been purchased for delivery many months in advance, and from the mines to the mills and factories of all kinds which manufacture iron and steel, there is prosperous activity and a universal feel- ing of confidence in the future. Those most familiar with the siti n and prospects predict that next year will witness an unprecedented activity in the iron industry of the United States, Atany rate all reports regarding the present condition of* this great interest are in the highest degree reassuving. THE SUNDAY BEE will contain a hignly inweresting and gossipy letter from Frank G. Carpenter. Jnat he commences a series of Washington let- ters about public men of note, society gossip, & concensus of opinion umong leaders in politics and society of the na- tional capital, He will interview from time to time the great men of the day, and " his sketches will be brim full of solid information, engaging anecdote, und abounding in fresh and reliable fact. Mr, Carpenter is well known to veaders of Tne Bee. He has made himself fumous as a newspaper corres- poudent. He ranks with the ablest writers in this country at the present time, having made several tours of Furope and Asi and one tour around the world. Mr. Carpenter has resided in Washington for ten years and is NOVEMBER 28, (hnrnuqhu h\mH{nr wllh ever lhmg pertainibg to pudlic affairs. in his first Washington letter Mr, Carpentor presents personal sketches of the candi- dates for the speakership of the house, interspersed with gossip concerning their lives and public careers, THE people of Omaha have much to bo thankful for. The city has enjoyed during the year its full share of pros- perity and made marked progress, The open weather thus far has kept many employéd upon buldings and pubhic improvements who are usually idle at an earlier poriod. The general health has boen excellent. An advance has been made toward the accomplishment of great enterprises and improvements which will be soucces of permanent prosperity to the city. In every way Omaha has gone forward, and never in her history was the outlook fairer and brighter than at present. Surely no community in this favored tand has better reasons than - the people of Omaha to give thanks and be merry. IN ROUND numbers the assessed valu- ation of Omaha property is twenty mil- lion dollars. The interest on one hun- drod and fifty thousand dollars in bonds is soventy-five hundred a year. This amount ingures the erection of a vinduct to cost two hundred thousand and a depot estimated at not less than four hundred thousand. The expenditure of this sum of money, apart from its commercial benefits, and thé employ- ment of a large number of mon, will be the means of adding at lenst half a mil- lion to the taxable property of the city within two years, and by infusing confi- imulate the growth of the city ase her property value by several millions. THe Fredericksen frauds will reach into the miilions. The enormity of the swindle is appalling, and extends to haif a dozen northwestern stales. Rich and poor were robbed without fear or favor. Landsand howmes, to which the scoundrels had no title, were sold to farmers and workingmen, and the mortgages sold to men of wealth. Chi- cago would do a noble act by suspend- ing her cluim to tne rascals long enough to permit their vietims to administer a crude but effective dose of western jus- tice.
