X.et us be thankful not only because Since last our universal thanks were told JWe have grown greater In the world's applause. And fortune's "newer smiles surpass the old 33ut thankful for all things that come as aims From out the open hand of Providence; The winter clouds and storms the summer calms The sleepless dread the drowse of indolence. Let us be thankful thankful for the prayers Whose gracious answers were long, long delayed. JThat they might fall upon us unawares, And bless us, as in greater need, we prayed. Xot us bo thankful for the loyal hand That love held out in welcome to our own IWhen love and only love could understand The needs of touches we had never known. Let us be thankful for the longing eyes That gave their secret to us as they wept, 3Tet in return found, with a sweet surprise. Love's touch upon their lids, and, smiling, slept. And lot us, too, be thankful that the tears Of sorrow have not all been drained away, Chat through them still, for all the coming years. We may look on the dead face of Today. JAMES WHITCOMR RILEY. TILLMAN ON THE HACK PHOIILF.M. The future will tell whether Mayor Dunne strengthened himself politically by declining to preside at the lecture of Senator lien Tillman on the race problem. In Chicago. The future may Bay that ho acted the manly part and then again it may say that he was bluffed by the mgro colony of tho city of which he is the chief executive. In the south where the party to which he belongs rules an 1 is making a desperate fight against negro demonstration, he will be stigmatized as a "negrophile." There are democrats in the south who shrug their shoulders at Tillman's radical utterance., but they believe in his views just as a large proportion of the Episcopal faith believe that "Heretic" Orapsey was logical and sincere, but too outspoken. Dunne as a reading man knew Tillman's opinions on the race question and had no reason to doubt that they would not bo modified on account of his presence in the chair. The mayor knew or should have known that Tillman had a set speech to make and would make it Irrespective of tho person 'Who Introduced him to the audience. He know, or should have known, Tillman before he consented to dignify the lecture with his distinguished presence. Ii was no new light that Influenced his declination. He declined because the negroes of Chicago asked him to decline. The negroes today admire him for his pluck, but he may discover that there is many a white faced brother who, while not holding . with Tillman's views on the race question, despises him for his cowardice. Tillman is fighting for the maintenance of white supremacy. One dots not have to travel farther south than the Calumet river to know what that means. Living in a state where the blacks

yj

out-number the whites by a vast majority and where the "good niggers" love and respect him and would go to the last ditch In defending him from the attacks of a northern mob of their own race Tillman is close to the subject and his opinions no matter what form of speech he uses in expressing them, are worthy of consideration. There is no race question in the north, but that Is no guarantee that there never shall be. The negro up here is purely an incident. He may be individually assertive and obtrusive, hut he cannot be collectively obnoxious. The northern man of rational thought may not be as outspoken as the southern man on the subject, but the assumption of social and political equality is equally n-pellant to him. Except the matter of voting the fifteenth amendment is as much honored in the breach in the north as in the south. We have an abhorrence of lynching up here, but that may be because we are less familiar with the occasions of it. If the race question is of national importance we should listen patiently to those who are familiar with it.

THANKSGIVING Sl'GBKSTIOXS. Tomorrow is tho National Thanksgiving day and just before reaching for the left leg of the turkey it might be well for the festival diner to stop to remember what he has to be thankful for. Thero is no man no matter in what walk of life, who has not some reason which should make him grateful and while there is evidence of this on every hand still a few suggestions may not be amiss. Let tho man who paid tho ice bill during the the past summer consider that winter is at tho door. Never mind the coal bill as long as we are able to burn gas. Another man. and this is for the Hammondlte especially, who should be thankful is he, who has been able to buy or rent a house in Hammond. Then there Is the schoolma'am who has not been over popular, let her be thankful, for she still has a Job. Let the man who has a home and a faimly, who is able to support both in the proper manner, despite the high cost of living, be thankful. Tho man who voted for Cox in the last election should be thankful for tho results will enable him to vote Cox again. The man who voted for Carter lias every reason to be thankful. Let every Hammond man be thankful for the present police protection that he enjoys for it might be still more insufficient. Dad Cameron should be thankful for having one fifty year franchise in this city and he really ought to be ashamed to ask for another one. And least we forget let us also be thankful that Hammond now belongs to that class of cities which is entitled to depots. The people of Whiting should be thankful that there has only been talk of annexation. In your gratitude forget not the cook who stuffed the turkey. Last, but not least, let us all be thankful for having at least something to be thankful for. WITH THE EDITORS. Ilanerofl'M Ready Answer. I have just heard a good mot it is not more than a mot of Bancroft, the American historian, who is now United States minister at Berlin. Loftus (our ambassador there) thought, I supose, that the Yankee was a fair and would be an easy butt for the shafts of his peculiarly refined wit, so attacks him before a hundred listeners on some public occasion with "In God's name. Mr. Bancroft, why don't you Yankees send your representatives to court like Christians, in a proper uniform, instead of turning them out all dressed in black like so many undertakers?" Whereto Bancroft replies: "Really, Lord Augustus, I am surprised that you, as ambassador to the queen of England, and with the keen powers of penetration for which you are generally distinguished, should have failed to preeelve that we could not bo more appropriately dressed than we are, at European courts, where what we represent Is the burial of monarchy." Letters of Lord Lytton. Election Kxpensesu The expenses of tho recent election in New York afford the papers there opportunity to adorn a tale if not point a moral. The Tribune says: The republican state committee spent $332,011. the democratic state committee $79,397 and the independence league $234,222. The Hearst fund, then, adding the two together, was $313,019. The difference between that and the republican fund is inconsiderable. The sixty-one republican county organizations spent $430,000. The sixty-one democratic county organizations spent $240,000. Tho expenditures of the independence league through its county committees were not given in tho published account. Speakers cost the republican state committee $23,000: public meetings, $2S.OOO; special trains for Mr. Hughes. $8,000; printing. $77.000 8.0 49.000 pamphlets were printed salaries, supplies, stationery, etc., $16,000. Then $3 1,000 was paid to democratic watchers, and $26,000 was spent on a democratic canvass of election districts. Tho independence league spent $98,000 for watchers. If any vote buying was done, it was a negligible quantity. There was not enough money left after the legitimate expenses of the campaign had been paid to accomplish much toward the corruption of the electorate. Even If there were money to do It. the secret ballot makes vote buying too speculative a venture to commend itself to the business men who run political campaigns. Since the passage of the secret ballot law there has been no better election legislation than the law requiring publicity of campaign expenses. AGAIN, THE COST OF LIVING. From figures recently compiled by Pun's trade review, there can be no doubt but there has 'been a great increase in the cost of living during the past decade. Much has been said upon this subject pro and con and an infinite number of reasons have been assigned for the fact, reasons which have been purely economic and purely political. The fact remains that the

cost of living has greatly increased. The easiest way to state tho cause is to say that prices have been Increased. If any one ask "why" it isn't so easy to answer. There can be no doubt that the trusts have much do to with the fact. An inordinate desire to reap rich dividends on investment has boosted prices and kept the wage of labor down, until now the rise of the common people against the plutocrat has compelled many advances in wages. But there is an inequality about the increase in remuneration for labor performed. There are many persons in employ who are not banded together and who may not fight for their desires through organization in tho nature of their occupation organization is virtually impossible. It is upon these that the drain comes hardest, and these are those who are the largest sir.gle class of our citizenship. An argument is often advanced that it makes no differences what the cost of living is, if those in employ receive advanced remuneration, proportional to the increase in cost. In the abstract this statement is true, but it is not true that those working on salaries have received, are receiving, or probably will receive such an advance. Increased cost and increased wage makes a huge demand upon mediums of exchange. We have long been set king to place the available quantity of money beyond the actual demand and the present system works hard against the plan. It would be easier to solve many vexatious problems concerning domestic economy, if tho necessities of life cost less. It would be more reasonable to accept the statement of the conservative school of economists who believe the level of exchange Is maintained, if we saw more money going the way of original producers, but the fact is, prices on raw products, not controlled by monopoly or combines, are less now than in many previous years. Iloosier.

BE PATIENT WITH THE BOY. Don't "fire" the boy! Keep him and make a better boy of him! If you do he will be a better man. Boys are all right, if you understand them. In every one of them rightly handled there Is a germ of manhood and possibilities of mighty success in the future. Grown up under kindly influences, the excess energy that made them enjoy their boyish escapades will be directed to the accomplishments of great things. So don't "fire" the boy. Talk to him. Get him interested in his work. Tell him of the thing before him in life. Teach thrift and industry. Remember, he is Just a little raw material, out of which you can fashion a tetter man than you are, no matter how good you are. La Crosse Tribune. HOW TO PRESERVE PAPER. It is sometimes necessary to preserve papers such as manuscripts that have been exposed to infection. You can disinfect papers without damaging them, by either of two easy methods: Pour a little alcohol on a piece of sulphur, and burn them on a brick of flat stone, laying the papers near them, and covering all with an inverted stone jar, so as to secure tho fumes; or soak the papers in a two per cent solution of carbolic acid and water. ONE VIEW OF SUBSIDIES. Secretary Root Is frank in saying that the tariff compels the granting of ship subsidies if our foreign commerce is to be built up and fostered. We can not repeal the tariff, he says, and we do not wish to lower the standard of American living which comes with the prevailing high wages for work. Therefore, "we should give back to the shipowner what we take away from him for the purpose of maintaining that standard, and unless we do give it back we shall continue to go without ships." That is the uncompromising high protectionist view. It has not been the view of the mass of American people. We shall see whether the president .and his cabinet can convince them of its wisdom. Chiacgo News. TOO .MICH PISTOLING. If the current shooting of husbands, of wives, of employers, of girls who will not be sweethearts, of men who are in the sweetheart business, etc., etc., in New Y'ork and other cities goes on this country will become known as the passional land. Paris is no longer in it with New York In regard to outright murder. We believe that all of tho rooms for homicide cases in New York's official hotel the Tombs are now occupied, and still lodgers of this sort keep on coming. Pretty soon they will be standing on tho steps clamoring for shelter. Is it the mixed blood beginning to tell; or Is it the sensational newspapers that for years have been collecting all such cases and dishing them up with portraits and poetry and all the other stimulating ami suggestive fixings? We do not know; but It seems to us som days, as we take in the metropolitan budget, that the fear of the law not to say a word about respecting it has about disappeared from among us.Hartford Courant. SANTA CLAUS AND THE CHRIST CHILD, TTery little indeed can be expected from the efforts of parents to bring back the Christian idea of Christmas so long as our Sunday schools foster the pagan idea of Santa Claus. if we do not strike the right key note of the day with our children, pray where then shall we begin? The whole thing re solves itself to one point which should be an Inviolable rule in all Sunday schools: the absolute elimination banta Claus and the substitution of the- Christ Child. Santa Claus has no plate in the church or Sunday school either by personification in entertainment or by pictorial representation in pulpit or on platform, or by the dis tribution of cards on which he is pic tured. lhe lesson of the church is that of the Holy Child and that story has in it enough beauty and enough pictorial possibilities for any number of celebrations. It is too often forgot ten by those m charge of our Christ mas celebrations in church or Sundav school that the mind of a child is the most sensitive and receptive thing there is, and Is just as open to pagan teaching as it is to Christian teachings. Ladies Home Journal.

THE NEWSPAPER MAN. Now and then one hears of a newspaper man going into some other business and now and then one hears of a newspaper man giving up some other business. This doesn't imply that newspaper men are good for nothing else, but it does infer that there is a certain fascination about the work which one can never get away from. Someone has called it "the fatal smell of printers' ink." That, however, is hardly true in this day because the average "man on the street" does not get a smell of printers' ink often enough to distinguish it from other varities of perfume and toilet water. He just likes the work, that's all. The hurry, hurry, hurry, appeals to him. The heart interest stories which he is sent to get, and which he gets, make his heart throb with Joy. The ills, the cares and the troubles of others, of which he is bound to learn from the others, may disillusion him, but they do not spoil him. He remains as much fascinated as the day when he made his first beat; when all the world seemed happy and decidedly promising. He may grow old at something else; sometimes he has been known to become successful and has, in a few instances, accumulated the reverse of bad debts, still the true newspaper man never forgets and ever longs for a return of the days when life, was one scramble for "things doing." Newspaper work has been called something more than a business or a profession, it has been called a habit. That is it exactly, and once the habit is formed one can never live It down. The newspaper man has his faults, most anyone will cite instances, and yet as a rule he isn't so very, very bad. He probably isn't so very, very good either; just a fair average, "i et with all that can be said for or against him no one has ever been able to honestly accuse him of not being interested. The fascination holds, grips and keeps him. He may quit, he may

win at something else, but at heart he is ever a newspaper man. South Bend Tribune. Between Trains CALIFORNIA POLITENESS. "They told me the story of a wellknown gentleman of San Francisco, who, charging through all tho smoke and flames and litter on the first day of terror, came upon a fashionable lady of Lis acquaintance trudging along tho middle of the street In her bedroom slippers with a window curtain thrown over her shoulders. He stopped his au tomobile to offer her his assistance. explaining at the same time that the auto was all he had saved out of tho wreck, and even that had been commandered by the soldiery. "I, too, have lost all,' she sighed. "All but you beauty," said he, with a courtly bow. "All but your beauty," said he, with she retorted, smiling. That Wuu Easy Enough, v "Patrick, did you steal Widow Maloney's pig, and if so what did you do with it?" "Killed it and ate it, your honor." "Well now, Patrick, when you are brought face to faco with Widow Maloney and her pig on "Judgment Day," said the judge, "what account will you be able to give of yourself when the widow accuses you of stealing?" "Did you say the pig would be there, your honor?" asked Pat. "To be sure I did." Well, then, I'll say, 'Mrs. Maloney, there's your pig.' " DOING BETTER. A very plain man in Glasgow has a very plain daughter. One day she was sitting on his knee right before a looking glass. She contemplated the reflection of their two faces and then asked: "Fapa, did God make me?" "Yes, dear," he replied. "And did he make you?" "Yes." Looking again in the mirror she drew a long breath and rejoined: "He must bo turning out better work lately, isn't he?" Scottish American. BACHELORS. Bachelors can be found roaming at large in all parts of the world. They Inhabit apartments, clube, open fields, bodies of water and music halls. They are also seen behind the scenes. They hover at times near front gates, and havo been found in back parlors writh the aid of a searchlight. Bachelors are nomadic by nature and variable In their tastes, never going with one girl long enough to be dangerous. Bachelors make love easily, but rarely keep it. Rich bachelors are hunted openly and shamelessly, and are always In great danger. Those who finally escape are. as a rule, useless ever afterwards. Delineator. WHAT IS MONEY? To the query, "What Is money, anyway?" the following answers are made: Money is the loudest sound in the voice of life. Bate for the matrirnonia4 hook. Fuel for fun. The one thing that makes crooked things straight and straight things crooked. The most effective substitute for brains. A provider for everything but happiness; a passport to everywhere but heaven. The New York idea. Something that always gets the glad hand. Money is the most difficult root to cultivate. Metal often manufactured from "water" In Wall street. The best talking machine. That which women look for while men sleep. A curse to some that have it and a curse to all that haven't. What the rich don't need the poor don't get. The breath of business. Our private god. The antidote for proverty. That which speaks a language we can all understand, but in which so few are able to converse. Bulls and Bears.

NEW YORK LETTER. ..New York, Nov. 28. With the majority of the influential stock operators gone away for the holiday, the stock market felt the absence of their operators. Fluctuations as a rule Were narrow and uninteresting barring a few of the more active issues. Reading started the day off strong and higher, likewise St. Paul. The former sold up to 14S:l4 and the latter at lb 4. But as usual on the strong snots, sufficient stock was offered the crowd to bring about a reaction of about two P'.dnts in each of these two leaders in the market. The selling in St. Paul was again ascribed to the Standard Oil interests and that in Reading to Frick and his coterie of friends. Union and Southern Pacific also showed the lack of a leader. Tho former sold off from 1- to 187 and the latter from 95 to within a fraction of 01. Tho statement issued by the Union Pacific company yesterday afternoon and exploited in the newspapers throughout the country is more or less of a riddle to the average speculator. As a market factor, however, its effect was only temporarily bullish and after tho trade generally digested it, they were no wiser than before. The one particular strong feature of the session was the rise in New lork Central which advanced from 130 up to 132 on the very best class of buying. Lots of one thousand shares and over were tho order of the day. Rumors to the effect that the dividend may be increased at the next meeting was the cause of the strength in this issue. These rumors, however, do not seem to have much foundation and are brought out every time a stock shows exceptional strength and activity. In the lower priced shares, M. K. & T. common and preferred were in a reactionary mood. It seems some one was willing to realize some of the handsome paper profits which they have made in the last fortnight. Both stocks showed a decline of about a point and a half each from yesterday's high price. HEW YORK STOCK (MET

Chicago, Nov. 28. WHEAT Liquidation in tho December option was the feature of the session. The opinion was expressed that the selling in this future was for the account of eastern speculators who have been long of wheat for months and are generally getting out of it. The news in a general way was bearish in tho extreme. Northwestern receipts were larger tinn at any time during the rast week, even exceeding last years. Foreign markets were dull and lower. A general evening up of contracts over the holidays and the bearish feeling which prevails over the market resulted in a decline of one-half a cent for the December and about three-eights for the May. The market closed steady with a lower tendency. CORN Strong and a shade higher based on a better demand, light stocks of contract corn in the elevators here and unfavorable weather conditions for tha movement of tha new crop. The

market shows a strong undertone. Any renewed speculative activity would be instrumental in recording higher prices for this cereal. One of the larger elevator interests was a conspicuous buyer of the May option all during the session. The market closed steady to strong with u slight gain for the day. OATS This grain pit was almost neglected. Only the scalpers and pit traders do anything. Outside speculation holds aloof from this cereal. The tendency of the market was a trifle lower. Sales of cash oats to exporters

continue liberal. The market closed dull. SOUTH WATER STREET MARKET. Chicago, Nov. 2S. Trading In dressed poultry was active; in fact, such activity as was noted in this market today lias nut been witnessed on the street for many months. Dealers who were- lucky enough to have turkeys on hand sold them for anv price they asked and loads that were not yet on the market were bid for by anxious buyers who wanted supplies for their home consumptive trade.

HEARD ON THE BOURSE York, Nov. Kc... , e v.. i-.very one ""ent home bear. isa and short of the market nnri then thev . - v" 10 eoer and fro mea in to cover and "e ai a HISS. Keen f!,.-, !.,. -e, at a mat i.inir.i n,, . M. t-'t. as it only shows H per cent uned and they pay 10 wr cnt .im not help th s,ta . ." . . in regard --..v.. A.vvii ine iiniiii to St. Paul nfi.l , ,. tho market eo higher. One intelligent party who was shnrf of the market before tho oler-M who was sure Hearst would bo elected. Rnd that money would be 100 per cent, before the last of November, sent this 10 ins irienu-s: "Just had a tlk -eits .vir. Arrnroii. lie s.iva Oil is nearisn on this market. Coppers ar very heavy. S.ll the whole market for 10 to 20 points." Union Pacific annual statement kent lu,'uo,1 busy trying to figure out just wnat It meant. Th earnings of Southern Pacific were not nut in as th statement was up to June SO only, and the Southern Paclfi did not declare a mviaenu until Btntmhr Thio - - u 1 v. 1 1 a would amount to 2 per cent, per an num on the whole common capital stocla or union I'acifio for th.n x-a-Union Pacific's annual report show 858 miles without any issue of bonds $55,000,000 actual cash on hand and $166,000,000 of employed securities. This with their holdings of Southern Pacific and of Croat Northern, at their market value, shows $300,000,000 ot quick assets on hand outside of the value of the railroad, and the stock is worth $300 per share on that alone. The general gossip was that th buying of stocks on the breaks was very good and the bear clique wero quick to cover contracts which brought quite a rally. Missouri, Kansas & Teiras was bought by London and made a new high record. Hill and the Burlington people both deny they want the road or the stock so, of course, it must be Harriman who needs it to prevent Hill from getting It. Any how soma on wants it badly. Kansas City Southern nearly doubled its mil tonnage last year and the net receipts of the road has kept up in the same ratio. Tho decline in Great Northern was arrested by some very good buying and Mr. Hill tells his friends that Inside ninety days he will increase the stock and give them rights with 55 points on each 100 shares, and that ho has only commenced his distribution. Northern Pacific is still good for 250. It did not sell off much on the slump in Great Northern and has now regained all of its loss. The Hill people did not sell any of this stock. What the president will have to say in his message to congress on the currency question, is what Wall street wants to know. Will ho insist on a reform in the banking laws; will he give us soitio form of asset currency? If he does, and it does not take too long for It to go into operation, we will have a big bull market. A market gossip says: "I know that the Hill Interests have been picking up Missouri, Kansas & Texas stock for the past Eir months. A large line was bought about six months ago when Harriman gave his first Intimation that he was to control the destinies of the Illinois Centrala nd depose Mr. Fish. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas and the Burlington roads are natural allies connecting at Kansas City, and the Hill ownership of Missouri, Kansas & Texas is apparently desired as an off-set to the Harriman Illinois Alliance. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas system has been placed in a very strong condition and its earnings today are at the rate of 4 per cent, on the preferred stock and 3 per cent on the common." The buying of St Paul was exceptionally good and It ought to be bought right along. It seems impossible to shake out the big plunger, and he will have to be taken care of and reckoned with later. Copper is being tipped for an ad vance. For some reason the stock has been heavy every since it increased its dividends to 8 per cent., but its friends say right after congress gets to worlC it will sell up to 120. Sugar is another stock that has more chances to go up than to go down, especially at this time of the year. Denver had a nice advance. It has been dead for months, but it will surely sell above 60. Its earnings are increasing fast. Gould has not let any of his stocks advance, but their time is coming. Carnegie aces break Bteel. Eighteen 7 per cent, vember. Steel company blast furnall records in output of roads show an increase of for the third week in NoLondon bought 20,000 shares Union and Southern Pacific the first hour. Scrap iron In Pittsburg Jumped $3.50 per ton. This will give some idea of the famine in the iron market. Adonis Glve Warning. Adonis had just been Introduced to Venua. "I don't want to butt in or anything like that," he said, warningly, "but Tm serving notice that It I erer catch you running around shopping in whit shoes I'll cut you out"
