FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29. 1895.

EVERYBODY should be thankful that they live, and that they are at peace with their neighbors.

THE

official Republican plurality in

New Jersey is 26,900. The Republicans of that State have much cause for thankfulness.

THE New York

Sun thinks that peo

ple should be thankful because there is but one year atf)!l three months more of the Cleveland administration.

THERE never was any trouble with the greenbacks until the Democrats got control of the government. Let the people be thankful that they have only fifteen months more of power.

THURSDAY, November 28th, is announced as Thanksgiving Day by the President and Governor. There is every reason'to thank Divine Providence for his many blessings on this occasion.

THE report of the Postmaster General shows the receipts of the Postoffice Department during the last fiscal year to have been 876,171,090, and the expenditures 886,790,172. Let -us be thankful that the deficiency is no greater.

THERE are are millions of poor unemployed workingmen suffering in this country to-day from cold, who are unable to buy the cheap woolens of the cheap blooded Democracy. The people are thankful that Democratic rule is nearing its end.

RUDYARD KIPLING'S contribution to the Christmas number of The Century is considered one of the most powerful stories that has ever come from his hand. It is called "The Brushwood Boy,'.' and the scene is laid in England, India, and the world of dreams.

I'm thankful for a thousand things, Thanksgiving', '95 Thankful for rich and plentous store,

Thankful that I'm alive. But in my thanks one small refrain, Goes singing o'er and o'er: «"Thankful because when day Is done.

I'm thankful for a thousand things, Yes, and for one thing more Because she come with smiling face

To meet me at the door. -.

IT is a noticeable fact that Democratic hopes of improved business are based upon "increased imports" of foreign made goods. Of course, the more we import the less of that class of goods are made here. We rob workingmen of employment they ought to have and ourselves of money we ought to keep in this country.

IF we have not our own home markets the United States cannot expect to sell in Europe, where the manufacturers are able to make goods cheap enough to send to this country and undersell us at a profit. If goods made in Bradford can be sent here and sold at a figure to pay the manufacturers, those manufacturers can also surely undersell us in their own country. Let us be thankful that there is a better time ahead.

IT cost 31.000 to collect 877,000 income tax now decreed to be unconsti tutional and how much it will cost to get the 877,000 back into the pockets of its rightful possessors is as yet known to no man. It is likely to be a considerable sum, still further empha sizing the financial capabilities of an administration which has emptied the exchequer of the Nation and kept house on borrowed money since its tenancy began. The people should be thankful that matters in this respect were no worse.

THE markets of the world are wide open to us under the Gorman tariff, but still our exports are not showing and wonderful gains, neither is there and extraordinary deman from foreign countries for American products and manufacturers. The tendency of values is to cheapness, and if we had buyers here from England, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Australia, India, China and Japan competing with one another to buy our goods there would surely be some stiffening to the backbone of trade.

DUTIES on wool are a good source of Tevenue. The government derived revenues from duties on wool under the McKinley act as follows: 189 0 £5,460 885.32 189 1 6,552,257.54 1892- 7,779,085.0:1 3893 8,147,220.39

AT THE COURT HOUSE.

Struck Jury.

A venire of forty talesmen has been called from which a struck jury will be picked to try the case of Mrs. Mikels vs. S. S. Heath, of Alamo. Mrs. Mikels charges that the defendant sold her husband liquor which caused his death and she is seeking to recover damages.

Sent to Rockville.

The suit of John C. Wampler vs. the estate of Wm. H. Durham et al has been sent to Rockville for trial. The motion for a change of venue was made by the plaintiff.

Another Way of Looking at It.

Indianapolis Sun: Hereafter when a man drives off of an unprotected embankment, or half of a rotten bridge gives way precipitating him into a chilly creek, he must grin and bear it, for by a decision of the supreme court, Monday, county commissioners will not be liable from damages resulting from neglect of any of their employes,

The Midland Receivership.

The Supreme Court Tuesday decided that the court of Tipton county did not err in causing the appointment of receiver for the Chicago & Southeastern railroad (the Midland.) The application was made by Hamilton county for the pupose of collecting taxes that were due to the amount of §7,693.17. The case went to Tipton county on a change of venue.

^Probate Court.

J. C. Long, grocer and baker of Ladoga, has made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. Barry E. Daugherty has qualified as assignee.

Finley P. Mount has been appointed guardian of the heirs of Wm. S. Tyler, deceased.

Robert H. Bromfield has been appointed administrator of the estate of Benj. N. A. Grimes, deceased.

Daniel Lewis has been appointed administrator of the estate of Washington C. Kimler, deceased.

Long Line of Decisions Overruled.

In our notice Tuesday of the late decisions of the Supreme Court holding that counties are not liable for accidents on defective bridges, we should have stated that this opinion overrules a line of decisions in the State reaching back for more than forty years, so that, in all that time the courts have been administering law that was not law. But the decision is all right, and it is better that it should come at the end of forty years than never. The strangest thing about it is that it should have taken a Supreme Court forty years to find out what the laws means.

AFTER the first of January the new law regulating the salaries of State officers goes into effect. The State Auditor now recieves a salary of 84,000 and fees that bring the total compensation up to 810,000 or 815,000 a year. Under the new law he will receive 87,500 straight salary. The Secretary of State now receives a salary of 83,500, and fees that increase that amount considerably. After July 1 he will receive 86,500 and no more. The Treasurer of State now receives 83,000 after the new law goes into effect he will receive 86,500. The law sayB he shall not lend the public money. The piesent salary of the Attorney-General iB 82,500, and he has been (receiving fees that made the total remuneration of the office probably 815,000 a year. After the new law takes effect he will get 87,500 and no more. For which, the tax-payers should be thankful.

ducts, and by placing wool on the free list, made an odious, unjust discrimination against wool growers. Under the new law the imports of shoddy, noils, wastes and other adulterants in the year ended Aug. 31, 1895, were 17,606,563 pounds, displacing more than 60,000,000 of American merino wool more than the entire wool product of Texas and California. Let us be thankful that these wrongs both to the government and to the farmer will be righted.
