The custom of gbserying one day in the year for nnll(‘iull thanksgiving has become firmly’ established and long since our people learned to regard it as an occasion not only for an expres- slon of gratitude for the blessings vouchsafed them, but also for the dis- semination of charity, which is perhaps more general at this season than any other, Thanksglving day hae a charac- ter and significance wholly distinct from any other holiday, for those who propetly understand it. It had its origin with those courageouk and sturdy peo- ple whom persecution and the desire for freedom to worship God sent to this continent. It i§ therefore rich with the traditions of a nation, while it is hal- lowed by the tender memories of home life. ¢ No people have better reason for an annual day of thanksgiving than have the American people. They have been wonderfully favored and blessed in evety way. In all material re spects ours is the most prosperous among _ the nations and the eiti- zens of this republic have more of those things which contribute to the comfort and happiness of humankind than the citizens of any other land. All the conditions that nmke for the intel- lectual growth and social’ advancement of a'people are hete, while the influence of American. institutions {s steadily ex- panding. All these considerations appeal fo the sense of gratitude and there can be no more inspiring fact than that of a- great enlightened nation rendering ,000 | thanks to the Ruler of the universe for the blessings they enjoy. It is grand as an example and its éffect upon our- selves cannat be. otherwise than salu- tary and uplifting.

The present congress promises to sur- pass all preceding records in the volume of proposed legislatien. In the Fifty- seventh congress the number of bills in- trodiiced in the house of representatives was 17,060 and in the senate 7,445—a total of 25,005, no account being taken of joint and concurrent resolutions or single resolutions, of which there are several in a session. Already thére have been introduced in the present congress about 6,000 bills, which is noted as an extrdordinary record for the brief time congregs has been in sesslon. In a single day one senator introduced 233 bills, an evidence on ‘his ‘part which ought to commend him to the kindly regard of his constituents, assuming that a goodly portion of these measures are designed for the promotion of their interests. No- one In the house has come anywhere near this, though on :}:“e whole the members of that body have done ex- ceptionally well and may. be expected to do better in the regular session, as the large number of new members will by that time have been instructed in the process of formulating bills.and will be fully allve to the necessity of doing something in this direction in order to show their constituents that they are attending to their duties. - Of course only a very small part of this proposed legislation ever gets be- yond'the committees to which the bills are referred and indeed not all of it receives serlous consideration in com- mittee. The most important measures, those having the most pressure behind them and #s to which there is a real public demand, are taken up for com- mittee consideration and many even of these fail to reach the house. That a great deal of time is wasted over bills which are of no g\\-neml importance goes without saying, but there is per- haps no way of remedying this and members of congress ambitious to be authors of legislation will continue to furnish work for file clerks the greater part of which can never be of any prac- tical value. A POLITICAL FORECAST. Representative Grosvenor of Ohlo, in the course of a speech in the house a few days ago, indulged in a forecast of next year's presidential election and as he has attained no little fame as a political prophet his view of the outlook is Interesting. The “totul number of electoral votes in 1004 will be 476, so that 289 are necessary to a choice. Of these Mr. Grosvenor of course congedes to the democrats the votes of the solid south, numbering 151, Maryland not being included but classed as doubtful. He sets down as surely republican twenty-five states with a total electoral vote of 263, these being California, Col- orado, Connectlcut, Towa, Indlana, Ilii- nois, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Wersey, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Hampshire, ©hio, Oregon, Penn- sylvania, Rhode TYsland, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Vermont, Wyoming. This leaves the following states as doubtful: Delaware, Idaho, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New York and Utab, with ‘a total of 62 votes. Adding these to the electoral vote of the southern states and the democratic rep- resentation in the electoral college would amount to only 213, leaving the repub licans 263 votes, 24 more than a ma- Jority. Of course it is possible that something may arise before the next presidential election detrimental to republican chances in one or more of the states regarded by Mr. Grosvenor as safely republican, but If there shall be in the meantime po very material change from existing conditions~if the financial and industrial affuirs of the country shall continue for the ensulng year about as at present—there appears no reason why the republicans should not carry every state designated as sure by Mr, Gros venor. In our judgment New York should be lucluded In the list of repub- lican states, the Tammany vietory by no means showing that the state is likely to be democfatic next year. In- deed the vote outside of Greater New York warrants the opluion that the state Wil choose republican electors next year. Of the other states designated doubtful it is more than probable that one or two of them will cast their vote for the republican ' presidential candi- date. Mr. Roosevelt is very popular in Idaho and Montana and should carry Utal, The democratic says Philadelphia Record “By the new apportionment for congress, and consequently of the elec- toral college, the republicans have gained some political advantage. The democrats can no longer elect a presi- dent by the solid south and the states of New York, New Jersey and Indiana. They would still need eight electoral votes. The meaning of this is that the democrats must nominate a candidate who cannot merely unite the party, but who can secure the large body of inde- pendent citizens who arbitrate between parties aud decide the contest.” The man qualified to do this has not yet been named as a possible candidate. LESSON OF THE NEBRASKA ELECT({ON, The official canvass of the returns of the recent state election affords an in- structive study of the changes in polit- ical sentiment that have taken place i Nebraska within the past five years. In the off year 1809 the total vote polled in Nebraska for the candidates for supreme judge aggregated 220,249, of which the fusion candidate received 109,320 and the republican candidate 94,213, or a total vote of 203,583, while the remain- ing 16,716 votes were divided between prohibitionists, socialists and nonparti- sans, In the yeat 1900, which was a presi- dential year, the total vote polled for governor was 232,081, an increase of 29,- 448 votes over the total vote polled for su- preme judge the preceding year. At the election in 1900 the republican candi- date for governor received 113,870 votes end the fusion candidate 113,018 or a total for the gubernatorial candidates of the two big subdivisions of voters of 226,897, In the off year 1901 the republican candidate for supreme judge received 08,093 votes and the fusion eandidate 86,334 votes, making a total of 185,327, which is a drop of 41,570 votes from the vote cast for the republican and fusion candidates for governor in the preced- ing year. Tn 1002 the total vote cast in the state for governor was 194,741, of which the republican candidate for governor re- ceived 96,471 and the fusion ecandidate 91,116, or a total of 187,587 and an in- crease of 2,260 votes over the vote cast for supreme judge in the preceding year. In the off year 1903 the aggregate vote polled is 187,140, of which the re- publicin candidate for supreme judge received 96,991 and the fusion eandidate 87,804, or a total of 184,855, The most striking feature of these figures 1s the tremendous slump in the fusion - vote, which may be ascribed fivst to the reversion of popular senti- ment relative to the Brydnite para- mount issue, “the free colnage of sil- ver;" second, to the lack of cohesion among the so-called fusion reform forces, and lastly to the improved con- dition of the producers caused by gen: eral prosperity. It cannot be gainsaid that the stay-at-home voters, of whom perhaps ‘wo-thirds formerly voted the populist or democratic tickets, have declmatéd the ranks ‘of the fusion re- form army and destroyed whatever chance it might have had of carrying the state. It goes without saying that the vot- ing population of Nebraska in 1903 is by many thousands larger than was the voting population of Nebpaska in 1899, and yet there is a shrinkage in the ag- gregate vote polled in the off year of 1903 of 33,100. While Judge Sullivan ran more than 8,000 votes ahead of the fusion candidates for regent, his vote this year fell 21,456 behind the vote polled for Judge Holcomb in 1899. On the other hand, Judge Barnes received 2,778 votes more than the republican candidate for supreme judge had re- ceived four years ago and 520 votes more than were polled for The repub- lican candidate for goveruor in 1002, whep the total vote was nearly 3,000 mord than the vote for supreme judge cast this year. 2 An jmpartial study of the compara- tive election figures proves conclusively that fully 25 per cent of the electors of Nebraska have taken no part in the electioris of the last two years—on one side because the self-styled reform ele- ment has failed to keep the pledges made to the people when its members were in power, and on the other side he- cause of the dissatisfaction within ré publican ranks with Bartleyism and corporate domination, council-of Chicago held a session Tuesday surrounded by a body- guard of policemen. The natural in- ference would be that the turbulent elements engaged in the Chicago street rallway strike were expected to break into .the council chamber to mob the aldermen, but-the proceedings of the council ‘fend to dissipate that impres- slon. The Chicago ‘aldermen simply in- yoked the protection of the bedyguard of policemen while they were taking the preliminary steps for -extending the street railway company’s franchises, against which thousands of taxpayers and citizens of Chicago, representing all classes, had petitioned and remon- strated. Senator Millard’s private secretary wires to the Lipcoln Bartiey organ that “Summers holds on and is not to be relieved while the Dietrich case pends.” That was precisely the object Summers had in view when he made his strenuous effort to push the indictment of Dietrich through the federal grand jury before an Oider for his decapitation had been isfued by the Department of Justice. —————— The books of the Omaha Grain Ter- minal corporation were open for! sub- seriptions to its stock yesterday, but no- 5 but Great Westgra wen offered subscribe and the stock was all taken by the Chicago Great Western people, Wonder what President Stickney would have thought if the officials of the rival lines had come in and subscribed to the bulk of the shares of that capital stoek? After a flerce struggle lasting nearly two weeks the Chicago street rallway strike has been settled by mutual agree- ment and arbitration. The strike should have been averted altogether and could have beert settled the first day had the managers of the lines shown any dis- position fo settle the differences by ar- bitration. —_— Dispatches from India announce that Lord Curzon has held another Durbar at Sharbag, and dispatches from Porto Rico announce that Collector Curzon has smoked a pipe of peace with the naval officers who accused him of Importing Havana cigars for free distribution to distinguished natives.

John Sharp Williams, the new dethocratic leader in the house of representatives, has one distinction above his colleagues.

Dear Bir:—I was very glad to find that my policy in the Equitable was indeed a “Sight draft at maturity.” November 19, 1883, I took a twenty yéar Tontine policy; November 19, 1903, I presented it at your office for its cash value, which was immediately paid. You offered to allow me to continue policy at old rate and withdraw accumulated dividends, which exceeded 51 per cent of the premiums I had paid, but I selected to take its cash value. However, as I did not want to diminish the amount of insurance I carried or be without an Equitable policy in my safe, I gave you my application for a policy in an amount equal to the ope canceled.

Ripples on' (he Current of Life in the Metropolis. | Owing to the prolonged and disastrous labor wars of the year charitable associa- tions of New York City anticipate largely increased demands on their resources this winter. It is stated as a fact that 50,000 men of the bullding trades alone have been able for the greater part of the summer, that nearly twice as many were out for a long period eitber because of lock- | outs or strikes, and that 15,000 or more are | still without work. ‘This means that tho | great majority of the workers were obliged | t0 draw on their savings, it they had | any, or run bills with the grocers and the | butchers, or both; for the little allowed by the union in case of a strike was wholly inadequate. Heside the strikers fell be- hind with their rents. With all thelr sav- ings gone and whatever little is 'being earned now going to meet bills, there will be nothing to fall back on when the snow falls. The resources of the Institutions will be taxed to the utmost, but there is confidence that all worthy cases can be | provided for. The average resident of the east side of New York below Fourteen street is about as far from a full-fledged American citizen as a raw pelt is from the finished leather used In the making of a lady's handbag. The fact that upward of a half million of | people live in this quarter makes the njat- ter interesting. The Ghetto, Little Ithly, Little Hungary' and other western and | southern European colonles bear the same | relation 1o the general body politic that plles of iron ore do to finished steel bil- | lets. However, the leaven of ambition is | working in this mighty mass of humanity, | and even as early us the first generation thousands of finished citizens are turned out. The Chinese wall of ignorance and squalor has been scaled by a hundred | beneficent agents of sweetness and light. | Thousands of settlement workers labor un- ceasingly to make erect the stooped form which Eufopean oppression has sent here by the million. Public schaols are every- where; parks and breathing spots are sup- planting death rows of germ-laden tene- ment houses; English newspspers are sold in Increasing numbers In quarters where only the Yiddish, Ifallan and German jour- nals were sold a few years ago. The babel | of tongues on' the east side s dying out. Hereafter men in public or private service in New York may be compelled to pay their debts, providing that they receive 320 or more per week salary. This new order of things 1s due to & plece of legislation that was_quietly rushed through at the last session of the legislature. It is aimed principally ‘at persons who have a consti- tutional dislike for paying what they owe. A patrolman is the first man in the service of the city to be affected by this new law, which provides for the garnishing of a man's salary. The matter will be brought | before Controller Grout and his legal ad- | visers. Mr, Grout expects that thousands of claims will be filed with. him and that salaries will suffer monthly hereafter. The echoes of Dowie and his gigantic crusade to purity New York are still faintly sounding. One of them nearly ruined a ecene in “The Merchant of Venice" the other evenink It was being presented by Henry Irving and his company. “Portia,” in her legal cap and gown, bade farewell to “Antonio.” Peace be With you,” she added. One man way ubstalrs chuckled, then roared Instantly the audience was “on,” and a per- fect gale of laughter swept over the house. “Portia,” amazed, stumbled in her lines, the other actors Became confused. It was an instant before affairy went smoothly, and probably that English company is still wondering, unable to discover anything tunny. A’ woman who ga r name as Redees and is employed as & cook in the house of Jobn McAleenan, made things lvely in the house and was arrested on a charge of Intoxication. In a Harlem police court Magistrate Crane hsked her' how muéh | money she' was getting. 8he replied that she recelved $25 a month. This brought forth a lecture from the magistrate on the ! servgnt girl problem, “You servant girls," he said, “make $% a month, while' farmers up In the country work from early in the morning until late &t night and are glad to get $15 a month. You're making $10 more than you're worth. 1 know how you act. You lord it over the household and won't even let anyone in the kitehen. 1've been through it all and know from experience. You servants ‘don’t know when you're well off. You live on the fat of the land. You don't appreciate your position. What do you do? You run the kitchen; you won't let your employer into it; you cook and wash whenever you feel like It; and then get drunk and turn the house upside down.” A lively hunt s being made by the fathers and brothers of Bayonne, N. X, for a man who has won local repute ‘as “the kissing bug.” His specialty is to hug wnd kiss any woman whom he can find out At night alone. His experiences to date have not been fruitful of osculatory sweetness. He hud red one woman when her Newfound- land dog took a section out of the calf of his Jeg and the garment that covered it Another woman yelled, “Come here, John!" and the man ran away, although John was at home, a mile off, tuking care of the children Beveral other girls have scared him away by screaming.
