Pbopi.k who wonder why it telephone operator should ever got weary ought to pay an hour’s visit to the central ollice. Is it true that Harvard must be listed as a third-rate university? Site lias been beaten ut toot-hall by both Yale and Princeton. Airoitni.Nit to the figures in the Atlanta Constitution, there does not seem to lie so much in the argument that, prohibi tion would ruin the city, after all. Thk New York Sun says that “.laeline can’t come to the boodlcrs, but the bood- lers can go to Jaehne.” Quite true, but they can also go to Canada and to—well, other places not beyond the lines. It is asserted that the willingness of tlie insurance companies to take risks on plate-glass is not reassuring to the panicky inhabitants of mob-fearing Lon don, since they know that tlio companies can clam reimbursement from the gov ernment for losses by riot. The compa nies, however, feel assurance doubly sure. When rioters kill oilicers of the law they commit murder, but when oilicers of the law, in their efforts to preserve peace* kill rioters they are held harmless. These principles of law have been again affirmed by the Chicago grand jury, which ignored the hills against tlie Pinkerton police, charged with ooniplic- tty in the death of a man shot during the Btock yard riots in that city. Pbksiiient Ci.bvki.and’s proclamation recogniy.e.s the essential features of an ideal Thanksgiving day, (1) gratitude to (iod for all ids blessings, (2) family re union and social enjoyment, (8) charily to the unfortunate. There is a \Ttv inti mate connection between the first and the third, for on such a day it is peculiar ly appropriate to recall the divine words, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” The Kniiuhmh- Si'n is not a pulpit for the preaching of a sermon, but it cannot refrain from ex pressing the hope that those who ate able to enjoy the social luxuries of the day will testify their gratitude by their charity, and give zest to their own en joyment by contributing to others less fortunate than themselves. THE IItY OP CIKITITIIIK. It is now two hundred, and sixlv-four years since Thanksgiving Day was first observed. The little hand of pilgrims upon the rocky shore of Massachusetts who met on that observance of the day had no thought of establishing a prece dent. Thera certainly entered into their thought no conception of such a day ns a national institution. The little colony had sutrered severely from hunger and Iioeii in imminent peril of death by starvation. Instead of finding a home in a mild climate, whore the soil was rich and easily worked, as they’ had been led to expect from accounts sent to Kngland by the Virginia colony, they had found their lot cast in a land of ice and tones. They must have committed the seed to the soil at the close of the winter of 1(121- 22 with fear and trembling. If it should die in the ground, or the crop lie smitten by an early frost, their outlook for the winter would be gloomy in the extreme. But the harvest,if not prolific, was ample for their needs with a good margin for the next season’s seeding, and what was more, it was now fairly demonstrated that their new home was capable of supporting life by tillage. Such an al most infinite relief would move a far less religious community to devout gratitude to the Lord of the harvest for His good ness, and it is not strange that the im pression was so strong that the obser vance grew into a custom, and wan per petuated wherever their decendants were tlie dominant people. A Thanksgiving proclamation was issued by President Lincoln in 18(12, but it was special rather than general. As a national holiday Thanksgiving dates from I8(i3. That memorable first procla mation of the kind by a chief magistrate of the United States did not emanate from a New Englander, but from a south ern-born western man. In this, as in many other instances, a local custom grow into a national custom, not in def erence to or through the direct influence of the locality, but because the nation recognized its adaption to the whole country. Abraham Lincoln did not issue that proclamation of twenty-two years ago because it was an honored and popu lar New England custom and there were a good many sons of tlie Puritans scat tered all over the land, but because the country was then in a condition render ing it eminently fit that it should recog nize the higher power which determines the destinies of mankind. The proclamation in accordance with which to-day is to be observed through out the country as one of thanksgiving, is peculiarly felicitous in its range of thought and manly in tone. It is tlie second state paper of the kind ever signed hv a democratic president, and is free from all partisan bias. This fact alone is worth a day of national thanksgiving. The fact that this once dismembered unit of states is now a unit once more, and that the country’s chief magistrate, voic ing the sent iments of his many-millioned constituency, can, in his proclamation thank tlie . iver of all good for showers of blessings which, like tlie rain, have fallen upon tlie just and tlie unjust alike, a source of gratitude. It is said lli.it gratitude is tlie last grace to leaven tlie human heart, and that he who lacks it is close upon total depravity. If we thank our friends and neighbors for tlie small gifts which they are able to bestow, how much more it is incumbent on us to bring our offerings of gratitude to him out of whose hand the nations are led, ami who counts the hairs of our head while we sleep. and license to guess whether the incident will lie made the pretext for active war measures, or whether Oen. ICanlbars was really withdrawn to relieve the czar of mi embarrassing situation. Prognostica tions are made more difficult by the growing sn-picion that tlie czar is insane, it is difficult enough to guess at the inten tions of imperial rulers when they are rational, hut it is a hopeless matter when tlie autocrat is also a lunatic. Tlie mere absence of tlie Russians, however, is con sidered favorable to peace, since it re lieves the provisional government of their mischievous plots for a time at least. There are growing indications that the o'her powers arc fairly well united against Russia, even Italy uniting with England and Austria. Franco is It ft al most out of the account, and Germany makes no signs of an active interest n tiie matter. Austria is for peace, but one of the conditions of peace is that Russia shall not rule Bulgaria directly or indi rectly. Peace on such terms is of course a verv unstable thing. GOOD ENDORSERS. WHAT TIIK EDITORS NlY. Jerry Dennis, ex-mayor of Datleville, Ala., and chief cook and bottle washer of the Datleville Democrat, seems a little agitated over the proba bilities of a new paper being started iu that town. Jerry says: “There is the least necessity for another one- horse newspaper in Datleville than anything I know of right now.” It is possible that Jerry fears the other fellow will not get out a “one-horse paper.” The LnFayette Sun is tussleing with some one who has undertaken to make the public believe that others than the editors do the writing for that paper. A great many editors would be glad to have the responsibility placed upon others, but the Sun says: “When any man tells you any such, tell them that the Sun publishes it as a malicious false hood and dares the falsifiers to prove it. The names of the editors, as we sain in a former issue, appear at the head of the editorial column and no man living has anything to do with it in any manner, shape or form, except those two whose names appear there.” We are not apprised as to what kind of stuff they drink over in Griffin since prohibition went into effect, but Editor Rockwell puts these perti nent inquiries : Why do we always talk about putting on a coat and vest? Who puts on a coat before the vest? We also say shoes and stockings. What’s the matter with us anyhow? Just why Jim wanted to carry concealed weapons by Officer Jackson is not stated, but we know he did it, as the following from the Albany News goes to show: James Jackson, colored, was arrested late Sat urday night for carrying concealed weapons by officer J. W. Cooper, and he now languishes in the county jail. This is the way the Albany News talks about the Central railroad management: It matters not who may manage the Central system, if run in the interest of stockholders the policy of the present manage j ent mus't be pre served to insure the safety of the investment. It is to be hoped that the friends of Captain Raoul will win in this contest and thus insure a con tinuation of his valuable services, which will preserve to the state the present creditable sys tem. dttm DYSPEPSIA Mu. Chaim,ns Fhanvis Adams, who died in Boston a day or two since at the ad vanced age of 80 years, had an extensive and varied career. A part of his boy hood was spent in Washington City, when liis father, John Quincy Adams, was president. He studied law with Daniel Webstor, served in his state logis- latuie and in congress, and in IS IS was a candidate for vice-president on the tree- soil ticket'With Martin Van Huron, lie was appointed minister to England by President Lincoln in 1801 and held that important position during our civil war, acquitting himself with great credit. He took but little part in politics ahor his return from England, though more than once spoken of for president. Mr. Adams was a man of marked upright ness ami purity or character. In both his public and private career he was an honor to lus state and his countrv. —BBPW It appears us if all the protected classes of manufacturers were forming pools to secure higher prices for their pro ducts. The latest organization of this kind is that of the starch manufacturers. A pool was formed a year ago, and all tlie starch-making firms are gradually com ing into it. A meeting of its members was held at Indianapolis last week, at whicli it was agreed to advance the price of the article one-eighth of a cent per pound. Starch is an article of universal necessity and consumption. It can be made cheaper in the United States than anywhere else in the world;nevertheless, the home manufacturers persuaded a re publican congress to protect it with a duty of 2J cents a pound. This is pro hibitory. It keeps out foreign starch and gives tlie home manufacturers a monopo ly of the home market, and it is under cover of this protection they pool their business and increase the price. (JOVUtSOU UOKItOM (1KIKVK0. It appears that some of the esteenu'd republican cotemporaries are very much disgruntled over Governor John 1!. Gor don’s inaugural address. In turn the governor is somewhat disgruntled over the contentions of certain republican newspapers that tie reasserted the doc trines of state rights. In a letter to the editor of tlie Troy Telegram Governor Gordon says: “You will find, I am sure, unless my langiuu e misrepresents my thought and heart, the spirit of a genuine nationality as well as of local gov ernment. I certainly feel and intended to ex press a deep interest in our whole country. My concern is for lasting nutionnl life, which shall permit also lasting national and state liberty. The criticisms of extreme papers are not only un just, but they are also unwise. It is a sad spec tacle to find such teachers of American youths declaiming in the interest of party against the doctrines which arc not only essential to our sys tem, but also essential to our freedom. It grieves me, not from any personal or party concern, but from fur more serious considerations.” Governor Gordon should not feel ag grieved at any adverse criticism regard ing his inaugural address. Those who read it with any sort of consideration could not do otherwise than recognize it as an able, sound and statesman-like paper. His views are too broad for the narrow-minded critics who have long since schooled themselves to believe that every word uttered by a true and loyal patriot in the south is the word of a traitor, and tlie sentiment inimical to national progress. The truth is, (.. v. Gordon is too big a man for those who have assumed to sit in judgment upon him, and he should recognize that it is liis place to find words, not brains, to comprehend them. Up to a few weeks ago I considered my self the champion Dyspentic of America. During the years that I have been aiilteted | i have tried almost everything claimed to I be n specilie for Dyspepsia in the hope of ' finding something that would aftord per- | nmnent relief. I lied about made up my i mind to abandon all medicines when l no ticed an endorsement of Simmons Liver Regulator by a prominent Georgian, a I jurist whom I knew, and concluded to try its effects in my case. I have used but two bottles, and am satisfied that 1 have struck tlie right thing at. last. I felt its beneficial effects almost immediately. Unlike all other preparations of a similar kind, no special instructions aro required as to what one shall or shall not eat. This fact alone ought to commend it to all troubled with Dyspepsia. J. N.
