Tho president of tho United StnttH Iihb ricalgrmlt'ri h duy of Konorul thanks Riving, nml tho govornora of tho Htuterf, conformist to established custom, huvo Issued llko proclamation! calling UHn tho pcoplo to ccnso from business on Thursday, November .', unil offer i prnlso to Goil for tho blessings which Ho bus vouchsafed to IIIh children. To muny n heart, suddoned hy cruel poverty, wrenched hy sutTerlng, tho Thanksgiving day proclamation is a mookory that ntirti up hitter feelings, or adds poignancy to despuir. , Tho annual holiday mcssitgo entoia home whoro tho warm light of comfort suffuse all, and quicken tho happiness of thoro within; panning on it enters into hornet whoro poverty haa nettled llko a pall, whoro (jrlm deaporatlon sits by tho empty fireplace; hoinea whoro long weeks of enforced lllncM huvo brouuht do privation and despair that have well nigh extinguished hopo, whoro hunger and cold stalk tho baro tlooro, whom pallid faces and wasted forum bearing tho stamp of misery and iIIbcubo boiuI up an appeal to heaven in places such iih them tho command to thank God for IIIh blessings may find unresponslvo heart b and execration may como forth in tho place of praise. Preachers may declaim; but It Ih nevertheless hard to render up thanks when hunger gnawa within and cold assails, and the pitiful wall of loved oneH echoes in the ears. Faith and religion are not nourished by starvation and despair, and God and. hoavon seom u kmg way off to a man who is denied food and knows not where to lay his head. Not In a great many years has there been so much distress in the country as now, ahd the Thanksgiving proclama tioa, addressed as it is, to all pcoplo, in cludea those who are iu want of tho commonest necessaries of life. The people who are Boated by glowing firesides, who are living in comfort and plenty, are, In a general sort of way, belleveis in tho Almighty and His good ness. Boata of them are very firm in tho faltk. The coming season of Thunks living will give them an excellent oppor tunity to supplement faith by good ! -Weeks, If there ever was a time, in ro cent years, when people should open up their hcartB and pockct-booka and pantries, It is now. It you havo reason to be thankful for tho good things you enjoy, hasten to gladden somo otlror heart, and glvo anothor reason for thank - fulness, and make some unfortunate think that there is a God after all, and that He U still watching over Ills child ren Turn Call, which by the way, 1b a very peculiar republican paper, advocating the populist principle of cheap money and the democratic tariff idea, accuses the people who voted against Holcomb on the ground that the election of tho populist candidate wouldhurtNobraska's credit in the east, and result in serious injury to tho Btato, of having "no brains." Borne things are so patent that it scorns ridiculous to explain thorn. Will tho Call deny, that the credit of evory western state In which tho populists have obtainod control, has materially " declined T Does it not know that in Kan sab the erstwhile success of tho fanati cal populists sounded the knell of progress and prosperity lor some time 10 comor The defeat of Holcomb wus particularly valuable to the people of Nebraska, bo cause with the example of Kansas, bo tore the public it emphasized tho fact that In Nebraska, tho adjoining Btato the people are still reasonable, rational beings; and it interposed a check to populist success that will prove effectual in shortening tho existence of that party of crasy ghost dancer, and prophets of Btisfortune. The Oulft ideas are, in one instances, strikingly unique. CITVTAXE8A BURDKN. It is a fact that nobody will dispute that the burden of taxation in this city v. U fast reaching the point when it will Im unbearable, and theJVetriln calling attention to this most important subject, and demanding a lessening of the tax rate, is engaged in a good cause, and is performing a service that may be pro ductive of valuable results. But the New is aiming wide of tlM'nark when It proposes the forma tioa el a "People's Municipal league, or BOSMthlog of similar import." It is true tkat offiatwtloM of thia kind have f teMfaraMdlBBAanyot the large cities. ' iv V-biltvwmstiioos has shown that in , prtr ,iiTf rjr.

Timely agitation of thin Hiihjeut will bo quite as effective aa anything that a municipal longuo could do, and it tho News and other pnwra will keop tho matter bo foro the public, It Ih believed that there will bo little dilllciilty in nominating and electing coiincllmeii at tho next election on tho Ihsiio of low taxation. Tho newspapers, If thoy will tako up the question with a reasonable degree of Interest can do morn than a dozen municipal leagues, lU.ruiu.iOAN enthusiasm, of n par ticularly lusty order, was manifest iu tlilri city Monday night.

HRUKC FOIl TDK UNKMl-LOYKII. At tho lust meeting of tho city coun cil Mayor Weir submitted a proposition in tho interest of tho laboring element in this city that is entirely practicable, uud tho ideas ho advances should bo carried out so far aa -wsslblo, to tho ond that a moasuro of relief may bo provided for tho unemployed. Tho mayor pro poses, in tho first place, that mon bo employed oh hulf time iu all depart ments whoro this can bo done without dotrimont to tho public service, in order that tho benefits at tho disposal of tho city may bo moro widely distributed. Then it is uracil that as much work us possible bo provided in tho street and Bower departments. Thoro is u groat deal of work in these departments that can bo performed by common labor, and it should bo ro ar ranged as to afford tho greatest relief to those most deserving. Tho mayor also suggestB that all citizens who can givo privato employment, oithor in business or domestic sorvico, report to tho heads of departments any opportunity thoy may nave ror worn, a muo systematic treatment of tho subject of providing relief for tho unemployed will make it possible to accomplish much good. MNCOLN'H HIDKWAI.KN. Now that tho Rov Shepherd bus com menced to preach ubout tho ovil things in this city, wo hopo that ho will tako up tho subject of Lincoln's sidewalks. Tho sidewalks of Lincoln, most de structive in tholr tendencies, und ap parently Incorrigible in their wickedness, constitute a most alluring themo for a preacher as protlclont in word-painting ub tho pastor of tho Gruco M. E. church. Tho sidewalks of Lincoln aro a pitfall ic tho path of ovory citizen, a constant source of dungor, und a monaco to tho well -being of tho pcoplo. T'oro is no good in tuom. JLiioy aro a snare und a delusion. Thoy cuuso unrighteous thoughts, bring forth unholy words, und provoko to deeds to violence. Their influence is wholly bad, and thoy aro u blight on tho fair famo of tho city, u foul oxecro senco under tho toot of honest men. Indicting bodily injury und corrupting the morals of tho people, thoy uro an unquuliilod wrong, und (hoy should bo wiped out of existence. Moreover the Lincoln sidewalks uro without form or beauty. Their jagged ends and disreputable negligee, und shameful wretchedness uro an offense to tho aesthetic taste of a retlnod people. Tholr Injurious effects aro three fold, causing physical suffering, inciting to immorality, and outraging good taste. The sidewalks of this town uro the worst things in it, and to Mr. Shepherd and to all other earnest reformers they offer an inviting Held. But wo are ufruid thut like the poor and tho tux-collector who are always with us, the Lincoln sidewalks are here to stay. Every year they grow more disreputable, moro vicious, moo offensive; but they remain with us, in creasing their power for evil every year. liooU's fills cure constipation, xney re - J i are the best after-lBner pill and family FREE SHOWS IN LONDON. TheThoroimliriires I'urnUti llulrrliilnmrnt from i:rly Morn Until Mldnlijlit. An Idle man can find ontertnlntnent from early morn until midnight, though not later thnn that, nt no greater cost than tho inert) exercise of living and standing on one nlrio to watch. IIo does not necessarily huvo to hunt for tho In teresting things. They will como to him on route. There is nothing so pic turesque in nny other city of tho world, porhapn, or which gives you such u start of curious pleunuro, n tho bluecout boy swinging along tho crowded street, us unconscious of hit yollow legs and flap- !)liig skirts and of tho rain beating on its baro head us Is tho letter carrier at homo of his mail bag. Or tho lord mayor's carriage blocks your way when you go Into tho city tp draw on your letter of credit: or a con plo of young barristers in waving gowns and with wigs uskow dash in front of your hntisoin; or you ard stopped by a regiment of soldiers, or n group of ne gro minstrels dancing iu tho street with ns little concern as though thoy were separated from you by a row of foot lights; or you meet tho Dispatch nml tho other coaches coming along Piccadilly' and going down tho steep hill from that street to St. James' paluco on a trot nml at tho risk of every ono's neck, apparently; or tho Lift) Guards go by with shining holinets and with tho lonoly rearguard UOO yards behind tho rest to proven tun unexpected attack from that quarter, from whom I nover could guess; or yon como sudden ly upon tho proud and haughty Picca dilly goat in Its rambles, or n lino of sandwich men dressed llko sailors or cooks: or you note tho contrast between tho victoria, witli tho men on tho box in pink silk stockings und powdered hair, ami tho little coster's cart piled high with cabbages as Incongruous a sight to nny other city as would bo u yoko of oxen on Fifth avenue. Dut what mako the streets of London most interesting are not tho badges of of fice and ofllciul uniforms, but tho unof ficial garb and insignia which tho musses havo adopted for themselves. Tho milk man's whito nitron and wooden yoke, thocommissionnairo'a medals, which tell of campaigns in Egypt and India, or tho bootblack's red coat. In America wo hato uniforms, becuuso thoy havo been twisted into meaning badges of servi tude. Our housemaids will not wear caps, nor will our coachmon shavo their mustaches. This tends to make every class of citizen look moro or less ulike. But in London ono can always tell a 'bus driver from tho driver of a four whcolor, whothcr he is on his box or not. Tho Englishman recognizes that if ho is in a certain social grado ho is likely to remain there, und so instead of trying to dress like some ono clso in a class to which ho will never reuch he "makes up" for tho part in life ho is meant to play, and tho 'bus driver buys a high white hat, and tho barmaid is content to wear turned down collar and turned back cuffs, and tho privato coachman would as soon think of wearing a falso noso as a mustache. IIo accepts his position und is proud of it, and tho butcher's boy sits up in his cart just as smartly, and squares his elbows, and straightens his legs, and balances his whip with as much prido as nny driver of a uiailcnrt In tho park. All this helps to givo evory man you meet nn individuality. Tho hansom cab driver is not ashemed of being n hansom cub driver, nor is ho thinking of tho day when howillboaboss contractor and teur up tho streets over which ho now crawls looking for n faro, and so ho buys artificial flowers for him self and Ills horso, and soaps his rubber mat and sits up straight and businesslike, and If you put him into livery you would not huvo to tcacli him how to look well in it.

Padorowski, for instance, keeps up his reputation only at tho cost-of tremendous efforts. To an interviewer for Ulack and White he has confided tho fact thut ho practices at tho piano often for 15 or 10 hours a day. Once, in New York, ho had to work up eight entirely distinct programmes in littlo over as many days, uud then it was a caso of 17 hours' practice daily. One must always bo nt it, ho explains, to keep tho lingers right und tho memory active. Tho work is certainly tiring, and M. Paderowski considers that play ing hillliirdsu gauio ho is very fond of has saved his life hy affording him the necessary relief from ids arduous work. Those crushing blows of his on the piano are not, ns somo might iumgiue, made with the closed (1st. Sometimes thoy aro done with tho third finger stiff ened out, sometimes with tho thumb sideways, llu seems to seo nothing won derful in tho effect produced, although his hands aro so delicate that an ordi narily firm shako makes hiin winco. It is true that ho hits a forearm such as a professional strong man might envy, so perfect is It in its muscular develop ment. Louden Daily News. Tliootcltt lit, Could Jump.

IIo joined a local gymnasium not long ago, and after watching tho members onco or twice goin;: through their exercises camo away with the feeling that ho was a full fledged athlete. Walking on East Court street alongside of tho jaii, ho espied two women ahead of him walking abrcist and currying a basket of freshly washed clothes between thcitn The street being nnrrow at tills point, thoy took up tho full width. Tho young man, being in a hurry, thought ho could save time by jumping over tho basket, hut Ids calcu lation was not acute enough, and ho kicked some of tho wash off. After walking u few steps ho turned around to ascertain tho result of his maneuver und was just in time to seo an umbrella hurled at him by tho unerring aim of un enraged woman.
