TKRItE HAUTE. NOV., 21, 1891.
A FAioiEtt'g wife, of Hunker Hill, this state, one clay this week gave birth to four fully developed girl*. The fattier is a* well as could be expected undor the circumstances.
THE liberal* are steadily gaining strength in England, and the day is not far distant when Gladstone will again assume control of affair* in tbe British empire.
A mtK in St. Louin Tuesday destroyed property valued at $1,500,000. This was the biggest thing St. Louis ha* had in many years, yet tbe associated press only made a column report of it.
NKW YOKK want* tbe national Republican convention. After the way that city has acted over the world'H fair it itbould receive no favor* of that kind which thl* country ha* to bestow.
AN Iowa street railway company ha* declared the storage battery system a failure, and F.avnsvilie i* still using mules. Without mule* Evan*ville'« street car system would be a dizzy Ideality.
A HKDK.'iNK man of the Yuma "Indian* recently failed to bring rain when reque#ted to do HO by the tribe, and they killed him. It 1* fortunate that Mel borno and Dyronforth do not have to work aiming that kind of people.
AT a meeting last Monday tbo Now York Presbytery declared against foreordination and eternal punishment for unbaptl/.mi Infants. This I* another evidence thst the world surely moves, and that there is yet hope for the Presbyterian church.
IN New York slate there Is a fair prospect that the legislature will bo a tie on joint ballot, hut the Republicans have a majority of two in the senato. Thi* has boon ft very good year for Tammany and it will certainly make the moat of its advantage*.
A ST. Pari. man claim* to have discovered process by which he can manu facture plate glass nlnety-livo per cent, cheaper than it is made now. As the invention ha* been patented it is very likely that the only person benefitted will bo the patentee.
LATKST advice* from Russia confirm all previousareporta of suflerlng and famine lu that country. The government will have to Mtipport many thousands of famishiug peasants through the long winter, an«l until another |wp can be gathered. At th« same timatbo czar is still pushing hi* preparations for war.
TIIK Salvation Army had a taste of real war and bloodshed In Omaha last Sunday, when Captain llattlo Smith wa* shot down by Private Nettle Itetdler, who completed her work of destruction by killing herself. It appears that like all other armies the members of the Salvation army are not exempt from fit* of jealousy which occasionally Impair their usefulness.
Foun grangers of Darling county, South Carolina, have had judgmeut rendered against them for $L't),000, on note* signed by them for the purpose of obtaining goods to run a.n alliance store. The agents got the money, the wholesale dealers got the notes and the grangers got the experience. This is about the way those oases are always divided, but they never carry with theui a lasting lesson.
TIIK Ministerial Union, of Topeka, Kansas, has declared war against the Sunday newspaper. Kansas always has been a much troubled state. After the settlement of county seat wars the Alliance sprung up and threatened destruction, ami now -hat the Alliance has been squelched the preachers hav» become a filleted with temporary aberration. It Is prelum d, however, that the S'.inday paper* will survive.
Two thousand car loads of grain are rocked on the Hurllngton system west of the Mississippi, and 1,300 car load* are laid out in Iowa alone, all because of the blockade In Chicago. The same story ^mw from South l»akota, where :UX town* are suflerlng for want of c,»rs. This is pretty hard on tbos* who want to move grain, bat it is much hotter than the wall now going up in Eumpe over fawiue and short crop*.
A msrATrit from the City of Mexico *ars that during his visit there the staff of Governor Hover "roamed »bmt the citr In uniforms.** As it i*t»U very often that tho** car}*! knight* have an op portnnltf to display their military tog*, the went Visit to a foreign country wa* an evasion not to bo wheeled. and the ^Jvnnncls" Jumped at the opportunity^ ft will carping crisis a fire opportunity to r*P. at the hoosiera aHrr-ad.

their governments. Englaud and France are getting ready to take a band in tbe row, and when they get through China will have a very expensive experience, but one which will be of value to that country in future operations.
A CALIFORNIA politician with an enormous capacity for atowingaway whisky went home with his usual cargo on board one night, and waking up several hours later with tbe usual symptoms of thirst, felt around in the dark for his old friend, the bottle. Finding one he took a good swallow without investigation, and when bis wife struck a light he was tied in a knot on tbe door and swearing like a trooper. He bad got hold of a bottle of hog's gall whicb bis wife bad carelessly left lying around loose. Although thi* happened a month ago the politician has evinced no desire to indulge in red liquor since, and physicians are investigating with a view to establishing a temperance factory in opposition to those operated by Dr. Keeley.
AN effort is being made in France to revive tbo Do Le&sips Panama canal scheme. In order to interest the French people it is stated that tbe United States government is watching for a favorable opportunity to obtain control of the canal at a small cost without taking into account the services that have already beeu expended in the undertaking. Thi* will be news in this country, where the Panama canal baa always been condemned aa impracticable, and where all the people interested in an inter-oceanic canal between the Atlantic and Pacific are in favor of the Nicaragua scheme. If the Pan ma canal is ever carried to a successful termination it must be done by French capital as this country clearly wants nothing to do with it.
IF the United States were not represented in Chill by an Irishman there would not be *uch a display of feeling against this country by England in dealing with Chilian affairs. While it may have been a mistake to appoint Mr. Eagari to a position of so much importance, it would be just as great a mistake to remove bim at this time, unless stronger reasons are presented for such a course than are now apparent. There is no doubt that the attack on the Baltimore's sailors was a llagrant insult to their country, that it was intended as such by the parties who made it, and that they have the backing of their country in it. Reparation must be made for the insult, and Minister Eagan iH tho proper person to haye charge of negotiations, despite the fact that England, Chili and a few un-American papers aro clamoring for his removal.
LET US GIVE THANKS-
He fore another issue of tho Mail one more will be added to tho list of Thanksgivings. A famous agnostic once boasted that God had beeu retired from politics in this country, and it must be admitted that the modern politician has, apparently, very little fear of God and still loss love of truth. But this is so much tho worso for politics were it all ttuth«n However, it is not more than half thie, Every American rejoices that his Is a land of religious as well aa civil liborty, where no one, from the president down to tho most insignificant postmaster, is questioned concerning his religions belief. But while it is true that theological creed and religious views have not been allowed to enter into the constitution of the United States, n* essential qualifications for offices of public trust, it is none the leas true that in no other nation on earth is God so much at home in the homes, the hearts and the institutions of the people as in the United States of North America. Notwithstanding the laugh which often goos up at the pious device on tbe silver dollar, this couutry does trust in God, to which Thanksgiving day bears ample and unanswerable testimony. It may be that the formally religious aspect of Thanksgiving day is not what it used to be, but tbe true genius of tbe occasion finds a throne in the homes of the people, where it will always sway a genial scepter. Thanksgiving day can nevor fall into forgetfulnes* or disregard. Stripped of all its former formalities it is a day for the home in which all the men and women and all the sons and daughters, and all the little children in tbe land have a practical share. While here and there poverty leaves its mark, yet it is cause for rejoicing and thanks that in all this broad land there are few homes too poor to take some share in next Thursday's celebration. Thanksgiving day is one of tbe permanent institutions of the country, and as long as it remains God cannot be retired from the land. Without some one to be thankful to Thanksgiving would be a farce. Thursday next will be a healthful and pleasant break in the order of our common days. And more than this, it will afford the opportunity of lighting cheerful fires, and singing mirthful songs: our common homes will become palaces of pleasure* and with cheerful feasting*, and with song and dance, we shall manifest that true spirit of gratitude, which consists more In the wise and hearty use of God's gifts and blessings than in any mew formal expression of hanks. We have many days for toil, a few days sacred to worship, one day at least should be mi apart for gratitude. We are not an religions a people perhaps as we ought to be. And it is quite true that formal Iron-bound creeds are falling Into disfavor. Bai taking us as a people all in all, we believe in God, and we boliev* that Thursday nasi will be a very g-ood day to stay at borne and arausfntty OK joy his fomlttewa. There 5* mucfe to b* thankful for this y*ar, .^abundant crop*, good price# for them, |fer-y®a»ing trade, at pesa*» with the 'mvrki. am! protniao of jwospwrtty In tlw future, I**! n* *1! give thank*..

Premiums for onr Subscribers. Special'attention is called to the adver-, tisement offering ten dollars for acceptable advertisements of the popularSanta Claus Soap. The proprietors of this soap introduced it ta the public by newspaper" advertising, while its good quality has established for it a steady and growing sale in onr community. Believing that those who know by experience tbe value of Santa Claus Soap are best fitted to tell others about it, and desiring that those who hare used it shall have the money they are willing to pay for a number of new advertisements, they make the offer to onr readers. Advertisement writing offers wonderful opportunity for bright thought, concise and tolling sentences, and "catchy" expressions. Nothing conld be better for the mind and even though the advertisements offered should not be considered acceptable, the effort will fully pay for itself in self improvement, or it might open the way for fain re successful work in this line. We therefore hope all onr readers will compete.
