THANKSGIVING.
Thanksgiving. We have abundant
canse to be thankful and to return our
thanks to a kind Providence which di
rects our welfare. Our personal rea
sons for thanksgiving may not l>e many
but our national are numerous. We
may give thanks for the return of busi
ness activity, bringing in its train pros
perity and contentment. The hoped
for improvement in our commercial
conditions has followed the settlement
of our financial difficulties by establish
ing confidence in the stability of our
credit. This has stimulated business
•enterprise tD something like its 'wonted
activity.
The return of a material prosperity
hasbeen marked throughout the country
and with dollar Butler would be
booming.
Thanksgiving cheer is proverbial as
being heartier aiel belter than that of
any other occasion—be it least or festi
val—of the entire twelve months, and
Thanksgiving is H.L ua> par excelknce
when everyone nliould d:ue well. It is
an occasion for which every cook racks
his or her brain and spends many anx
ious days and sleepless nights in trying
to originate something new, both in the
way of a menu and of the dishes that
comprise it.
AN English physician calls attention
to a means of keeping pneumonia,
colds, chills and all the ailments that
cold weather brings on, at a distance.
Deep md forced respirations, he says,
will keep the entire body in a glow in
the *>lde-«t weather, no matter how
thinl v one may be clad. He was him
self half frozen to death one night, and
began taking deep breaths and keeping
the air in his lungs as long as possible.
The result was that he was thoroughly
comfortable in a few minutes. The
deep respirations, he says, stimulate
the blood carrent by direct muscular
exertion, and cause the entire system
to become pervaded with the rapidly
generated heat.
HARRISBURG.
At the regular meeting of the State
Board of Health held a few days
ago the baleful influence of the anti-Vac
cination League was referred to, and
its deplorable efforts to undermine pub
lic confidence in the well established
value of this preventative measure
strongly condemned. Recogiation was
also taken of the successful ef
< forts of the Woman's Health Pro
* tective Association, of Philadelphia,
to have passed the law providing for
the sanitary inspection of bakeries,
bake shops and similar establishments.
A list of fourty-four complaints was
v received from localities afflicted with
polluted water supplies. A year ago a
similar list contained but twenty com
plaints.
Major Isaac B. Brown, superintend
ent of the State Railroad Bureau, has
referred thirty-one companies to Attor
ney General McCormiek, who will at
once institute proceedings against them
for their failure to comply with the Act
requiring them to make an annual re
port to the Secretary of Internal Af
fairs. Each company is liable to a fine
of $5,000 for its neglect.
State officials, generally, are disap
pointed at the continuation until the
January term of conrt of the cases in
which Sheriff Martin, of Luzerne coun
ty, is a defendant on the charge of mur
der. They were in hopes that a pre
cedent would be established immedi
ately.
Auditor General Mvlin is gathering
data and information to bo used in a
report to the next Legislature on the
revenue bill framed by the Pennsylva
nia Tax Conference and defeated by
the Senate in the session of 18U5. The
granges believe this me:u>ure will re
lieve them of the burdens of taxation,
and are making a systematic effort to
secure its enactment by the next Leg
islature.
General Mylin is not certain as to
whether this bill will raise sulficent rev
enue to meet the public expenses, and is
making the investigation to ascertain
just how much money it will raise. He
has fowarded to every corporation in
the commonwealth blank forms to be
filled up for the tax year ending Nove
mber 2, 1896, and returned to the depart
ment by December 1.
For the last twenty years a demand
has been made in this State for the en
actment of tax laws which will bring
about a more complete equalization of
taxation than has heretofore existed.
A number of commissions have been
appointed, and they submitted at differ
ent times to the Legislature reports and
bills to bring about this desirable end
without ever receiving the approval of
the General Assembly. Still the agita
tion for the reform of taxation continues
unabated, the leading advocates being
grangers and members of the Farmer's
Alliance.
The next Legislature will either have
to make provision for more revenue or
reduce the public expenses. Auditor
General Mylin and State Treasurer
Haywood are satisfied that there will be
a deficiency in the public fund before
the close of the coming year. The ex
isting law has been in force for eight
years and is regarded by students of
taxation as unjust and unfair to certain
classes in the interest of others.
IN describing the large lens recently
completed by Rev. John Peate, of
Greenville, the London Knowledge ie
marks: Dr. Peate has completed the
process of grinding and polishing a
gigantic disc of glass over 61 inches in
diameter, on which he has been engag
ed more than two years. By the aid of
this mirror a hair can be seen at a dis
tance of 1000 feet, and the reflection of
the moon at the tocal point would be
absolutely blinding.
POLITICAL.
The prosecutions brought by Senator
Penrose and others vs E. A. Van Val
kenlmrg, at Pottsville, this state, have
all been withdrawn by prosecutors.
In the prosecutions at Easton, this
state, against Gen. Reeder. Mr. Luck
enbach and Assemblyman Weiss for
conspiracy to injure John Wanaiuaker
in the Senatorial contest the chief wit
ness Winnsboro could not be found so
the grand jury ignored the bills placing
the costs on *he prosecutor, s
Both these cases were apparently
settled out of Conrt as part of Quay's
harmony deal.
THERE are now IN.v> convicts in the
Western Penitenti, :y. and .uu of these
will be thrown out of employment after
Jan. 1, IH'jm, when th .u 1 •<w regulat
ing the manufacture of yoods in pris
ons goes into effct. By the provisions
of the law, only a certain percentage of
the convicts can be employed at any
particular trade. To force these men
sj>end the weary months and years in
absolute idleness, while in solitary con
finement. is a cruel hardshin. Souw
way of employing them should be dt vis
ed. Human beings must have some
thing in which to take interest and
piiie.
The Eml of Gorman.
The news from Maryland that Gor
man had l>een defeated came like a
refreshing breeze. Of all bosses, he has
exercised the mcst baleful inflnence
npon national affairs. It is true that
the announcement is made that he will
not retire, bnt will next year seek nom
ination for the House of Representa
tives; bnt even if he succeed in accom
plishing that design, his power —a power
invariably exercised for evil- is broken.
Sooner or later the boss goes down, and
Gorman has met his fate. His State
has repudiated him.
He is the offspring of machine poli
tics, ami he owes the high place to
which he has attained to the cupidity
and subserviency of men weaker than
himself and to the timidity or complais
ance of his equals and superiors. He
represents a political condition which is
likely to prevail at times in every dem
ocracy. and which is best described per
haps as a lack of intelligent opposition.
Instead of winning the prize of the
Presidential nomination, for which he
abased himself, he is now one of the
wrecks with which the people of this
country have marked the pathway of
men who try to rise to power by deceiv
ing and corrupting them. Outside of
the henchman who have profited by
Gorman's bounty no one will regret
that the end of his public life has conie
s-Harpers Weekly.
The jugdes in several of the conrts in
Pennsylvania require that aliens apply
ing for citizenship shall have a know
ledge of the Constitution. This fact
causes a Scranton paper to suggest that
this would be a capital test to apply to
candidates for the Legislature.
Must Doctors Respond to Calls?
The refusal of a prominent Chicago
physician to respond to a n:ght call has
attracted considerable attention from
the secular press. We are glad of it.
We hope it will continue until the rela
tions of the medical profession to the
community ar: fully comprehended,
says an 'exchange, When the people
fully understand that the doctor edu
cates himself, pays for the privilege of
attending clinics at the public hospital
supports himself and receives absolute
ly no privileges or emoluments of any
kind from the public, except that of
paying license fees and wearing a tin
tag. like any huckster, men may inquire
why they are expected to owe c any ser
vice to the public.
True there is the moral obligation
entailed by their education and the
position they hold in the community.—
But the moral obligation concerns them
selves alone, and is not one on which
the public can place any demand upon
them. And the highest moral obliga
tion npon them is to support their self
and family. Consequently, their first
duty is to secure an adequate remunera
tion for their services from those who
are able to pay for them.
Maily views were expressed by differ
ent physicians on this question, and
some require comment.
When a doctor attends everyone who
calls on him, with the expectation of
realizing some 60 per cent, of his fees,
he must not call the other 40 per cent,
charity. It is a matter of business. He
collects it if he is able; and he cannot
call charity his uncollected accounts. —
If he knows he will not be able to col
lect a bill and still gives his services to
that party, it is realy charity; but the
doubtful cases must be ciassed as specu
lation.
A Notable Convent ion.
Pittsburg has perhaps, never been the
scene of a more notable religious gather
ing than the Methodist Episcopal
church congress, which began a six
days session at Christ church Monday.
In conception, purpose and treatment
it is unique in ecclesiastical annals and
marks an epoch in religious history.
The call for the congress which was
signed by Bishops Vincent, Ninde and
Fitzgerald and many prominent Metho
dist educators, says:
The congress does not propose to in
vite or favor destructive criticism of
existing institutions; but simply to
bring out from persons representing
different phases of intellectual activity,
a frank expression as to whether the
church can meet any more fully than it
does the demands of our times; and if so
wherein its activities may be modified
or directed to advantage. The congress
will not concern itself with questions
of church policy but with issues bearing
upon the relation of the church to the
thought and life of the people as affect
ed by current scientific and literary
teachings. The congress will aim to
secure an adequate presentation of the
tendencies of current scientific and lit
ery teachings and also suggestions as to
the best service to be restored by the
church in interpreting those tendencies
for the spiritual and intellectual advan
tage of its followers. ''
The greatest minds in the M. E. min
istry from all over the country were
present.

WASHINGTON
Senators and Representatives already
in Washington are discussing with
much interest the probable length of
the coming session of Congress. The
hope is general that the session may not
exceed six months, but the opinion i
also general that its length will depend
entirely upon circumstances. If no fi
nancial legislation is attempted, it will
be comparatively easy to complete the
business of the session by the first of
•Tune, possibly as early as the first of
May, as no time will have to be lost in
organizing and selecting the House
Committees, as is usual at the begin
ning of the long session; but if finan
cial legislation of importance is to be
put through the House and to be attemp
ted in the Senate, everybody may as
well make up their minds to an extend
ed siege, with probable failure in the
end. Knowing the situation in the
Senate, many Republicans favor letting
financial legislation alone until it is cer
tain that something can be accomplish
ed. They argue that the agitation that
they would necessarily accompany au
attempt to legislate on the subject
would hurt business and could do no
good.
It is thought by those who ought to
know that the President s action in issu
ing a proclamation exempting Mexican
vessels in ballast and steam vessels
from the payment of tonage duties
usually imposed upon foreign vessels in
our ports, will give American coal com
plete control of the Mexican market.
It was an act of reciprocity, as Mexico
makes the same exemption in favor of
otir vessels.
Chairman Cannon, of the House Ap
propriations Committee, doesn t intend
that the work of his Committee shall
furnish any excuse for lengthening the
coming session of Congress. He has an
nounced all of the sub- committees and
notified the members to report for work
on the bills in their charge on the 27th
instant, more than a week ahead of the
assembling of Congress.
As President McKinley has never had
a donbt that the Senate would ratify the
treaty for the annexation of Hawaii, he
was not surprised at the publication of a
trustworthy poll of the Senate showing
that more than the required two-thirds
of the Senate had stated their intention
to'vote for ratification. The only thing
that can make trouble in this connection
will be for the handful of Senators who
are opposed to ratification to take advan
tage of the absence of a cloture rule in
the Senate and stave off a vote indefi
nitely by talking against time when
ever "the"treaty is taken up.
If attorney General MoKonna of Cali
fornia is placed on the U. S. Supreme
Court in the place of Justice Waite
whose resignation takes effect 0:1 Dec. 1
st, ex-senator John Hippie Mitchell of
Oregon and formerly of Butler may be
given McKanna's place.
Regarding the coming session Repre
sentative Dalzell is qnoted as follows
"There will be 110 radical legislation,
not even on the currency question
Something may be done in the way of
remedial propositions, but nothing that
will go to the root of the matter. Not
only would it be impossible to pass any
thing radical throngh the Senate, but I
doubt if we could get an argument
in the House. There would he so many
theo r ; es advanced, and such a differ
ence of opinion, as to add confirmation
of this opinion. A man with a theory
is always the most tenacious of custo
mers and the hardest man with whom
to argue.
"Comparatively little will be done in
Congress 011 other subjects. Hawaii
will probably be annexed, but there
will not be much agitation of the Cu
ban question, because when the fact
are officially laid before Congress they
will show that the situation has greatly
improved, and that many of the objec
tionable featnres of the war have been
removed.
"It is possible that an imigration bill
wejl be passed, and the bankruptcy bill
will also go through the House. The
Senate may agree to some kind of ;■
bankruptcy bill, but will hardly accept
the one which the House wiil pass.
Imperial and Political Ejfotists.
A very striking commentary is made
by a contemporary on Emperor Wil
ham's insane declaration of his repre
sentation of divine right in informing
his soldiers: "It is your task to keep
faithful to me, whether against foes
within or foes without, and to obey
when I command, and to stand by me."
The comment is, that if even George
Washington or Abraham Lincoln had
made such ail assertion their hearers
would have hooted them, But the fact
is that neither Washington nor Lincoln
could possibly have said such a thing.
Both of them were too great. It is
only a small mind, swollen with vanity,
that could perpetrate such ridiculous
egotism.
Yet it is an instructive fact that
while no great 11. an of this country
could make such an sxhibition, that
position is practically taken by a much
pettier class, namely, our political
bosses They do not use as plain lan
guage as William the Sudden. To the
extent of verbal caution, they are wiser
than he. Hut their acts and attitude
on political matters are all inspired by
the same egotistic instruction to tue
ranks and3file of the party, that it is
their duty to lie faiihfuf to the bosses,
"whether against foes without or toes ,
within." It makes no difference wnat
the interest of the people may be: it is
of no importance what the convict,
of the voter*-; as to the matters involved j
may be; they are therein the estimu j
tion of Piatt or Quay, to obey whom
the boss commands.
The difference between William's
egotism in declaring that he is the
State, and the same quality in the b >—•
es' assertion that they are the pe
is that the half-back Emperor blurts it
out a little more plainly. —Pittsburg

In Pino Creek Valley.
When Washington was retnraintf
from his mission to ihe French did he
come ont on the Allegheny through
the Pine creek valley? His journal of
that is not at hand, and if it were,
might not assist mnch in the solution of
| the question. In haste to reach home,
j taking Christopher <iist with him. he
left the rest of his companions far np
the river and struck across the country
|on foot. Pine creek heads in the neigh
| borhood of the Bntler county line: the
month of the creek is almost dne south
of the Venango of his day and of the
Franklin of ours: consequently the con
jecture is reasonable that he and Gist
came down the valley of that creek.
Gist very likely knew of the island lat
er called Wainwrights. now a part of
the mainland, and so they decended the
north shore of the river to a point near
the Fortieth street bridge, and there
constructed the raft on which to pole
! their way through the ice to the island,
i Why was the creek called Pine"; It had
j that name before the revolution, as it is
!so designated on Pownall's map. It
It was so called doubtless because of the
aboundance of pine which <*rew in the
valley of it. remainders of which appear
in the batches of beautiful green to be
seen now amid the russet and brown of
other trees. Last Sunday was the anni
versary of Washington's arrival at the
cabin of John Frazer. at Turtle Creek,
the site of whose cabin is covered by
the Edgar Thomson steel works, as
judged from an old map. He arrived
there November 2t, 1753, and the next
day he and Gist visited the Point, theu
on their way to the French. These
facts were suggested by a walk in the
Pine creek valley last Sunday, remark
able for its beauty. The "21st of Novem
ber, 1753, was a very different kind of a
day—rainy, and gloomy as yesterday
hereabouts.—Pittsburg News.

The towns of Leeehburg and Hyde

j) -ople go to Hyde Park to drink, and
some of them get drunk. In walking
a TOSS the bridge on their return home
the bibulous L#echberger sometimes
falls over, and is thus compelled to
take water in temperately. Three or
four have already perished in this way.
L'ist Ratnrdny night a man named Dick
Murphy fell into the Kiskimlnelas
from the bridge, and when his friends
got him out he was dead. Now there
is a warm controversy going on down
there between the temperance people
and the advocates of license. The for
mer maintain that it was whiskey that
caused the death of these men, and
the latter claim that it was water.
Oue man dead, three men wounded
and four men robbed was the result of

medicine and the horse has .'ever showed
