An instance of the ease with
winch the origin of things passes
out of knowledge is furnished by
the various conjectures as to the
Origin of the great American festi
val, Thanksgiving Day. Br some it
is supposed to be the legitimate out
growth of a custom instituted by
the Pilgrim Fathers and of equal
age with the colonization of New
England. Othors attribute to a
colonial governor of Massachusetts
the honor of instituting what has
juow grown to be a custom of
iiatiohal observance. There are yet
others who trace it beyond 04 and
. $nd in tho observance of the har
dest festival by European people the
erra of what is now a great Ameri
can institution.
Here are three good and sufficient
theories as to its origin. You pay
jour money and yon take your
choice. "But however much doubt
there may be Sis to the origin of the
Thanksgiving festival, there is none
as to the propriety of setting apart
' one day in which to express our
gratitude to the beneficent littler of
the Universe. It has been said by
them of old time, "it is a good thing
to give thanks unto the Lord," and
personal observation corroborates the
testimony of the ancients in this
inatter. Neither is there a "reason
able donbt as to the best manner of
expressing our thankfulness to Al
mighty God for his goodness to us,
for all are wisely agreed that to do
good unto those who are in need is
not only the best service we can pay
humanity but also the purest wor
ship we can render to God.
"While we celebrate the day in
ihe public assembly and at the
festive board let us remember with
substantial gifts the poor whom we
Lave always with us and in the lan
guage (slightly modified) of a for
mer chief magistrate of the United
fstates "let no hungry man escape."

Col. Mean In Ntnte Chronicle.
From the last State Chronicle we
copy the following :
A few days ago we addressed a
letter to prominent Democrats, Re
publicans and I bird Party men and
asked than :
First. Why did the Democrats
in North Carolina make gains over
1886?
Second. Why was Cleveland
defeated ?
The following are their answers:
Col. Paul B. Means, Senator-elect
from Cabarrus and Stanly, says :
The Democrats in North Caroli
na were asleep in a deep sense of
security in 1886 and that too being
improperly called an "off year,:
there wasn't the same insentive to
action as in a Presidential vear.
Onr party voters had become accus
tomed to the cry of dangar and hail
enjoyed Democratic good rule so
long that they failed, in 1886, to
heed the warning and then forgot,
in some places, that "eternal vigi-
lence is the price of liberty." Our
losses in '86 aroused them and this
year they rallied to Fowle as both
tiie max and the standard of
principles he bore deserved, except
that we lost in the West on account
of Internal Revenue.
To answer why Cleveland was de
feated is more difficult only because
the field is wider and more appar
ent reasons for the cause of Cleve
land's defeat are given and accepted
too without study.
The best way to solve any problem
is to test the value of each supposed
factor, eliminate the worthless and
take what is left as the true one,
which is thus proven to be the right
and efficient factor both by its own
worth and by the others being dis
carded. '
1st. It was not the tariff because
Connecticut and New Jersey, two of
the greatest manufacturing States,
voted for Cleveland, New Jersey bv
a largely increased majority.
New York City, our greatest man
ufacturing centre, increased its vote
for Cleveland, in 1888, 29,895 over
the Cleveland vote of 1884 ; while
the increase, in New York City, for
Harrison over Blaine's vote is only
15,057-. The five New England
States, ALL HIGH PRVTECTIOX
Stater, which went Republican, in
the aggregate gave Harrison 6,273
less majority than they gave Blaine;
and of these States Maine alone
increased its majority. And Maine
gave an increase of. 3,069 to this
diminished majority. I take my
figures from the New York Daily
Tribune, as being the strongest au
thority against the Democrats. And
this seems to eliminate the tariff as
a cause of Cleveland's defeat.
2nd. It was not Civil Service.
For, in the South, where Civil Ser
vice was said to be most obnoxious,
Cleveland's popular vote increased
largely over that of '84 with the
exception of three States. In New
York City, where. Democrats most
denounced Civil Service, on account
of the appointment of Pearson, a
straightout and avowed Republican,
as Postmaster, Cleveland's increase
almost bouBLEDthat of Harrison,
and was only 4,238 less than that of j
the great and popular Governor
Hill, backed by his celebrated
Brooklyn expression "I am a
Democrat." In Kind's count v.
New York, where this now National j
utterance was made and ch?ered to!
fchc ofho Hill's vote was oniy
more votes than Cleveland's.
the increase of Hill's vote over Cleve
land is well known to be largely due-
to certain local causes arising under i
the prosenb splendid administration
..t P TT:u -i i
i uuei no inn.. a u neri in
Cabamt3 where Civil Service
Wrta
said to be "exceedingly unpopular,"
Cleveland received just 14 votes
moke than our. glorious, leader Dan-
iel G. Fowle. This all seems to ex
clude Civil Service from the causes
of Cleveland's defeat
3rd. It was not money, in my
opinion. For, all political parties
generally use legitimately all the
money they can get ; and I hare too
much confidence in the integrity of
American voters to believe that
enough of them can be bought to
change the result in a Presidential
election.
This appears to discard "money"
and all alleged causes worth consid
ering. What then was the cause?
It was that Abram S. Hewitt ran
as an Independent candidate for
Mayor of New York City.
It is true that Hewitt was en
dorsed by the "County Democracy"
and was called the "people's candi
date." This is tho plausible name
assumed by all Independents.
The vote of Grant, the regular
Democratic nominee for Mayor, in
the City of New York was 113,534
Independen Hewitt's vote was 71,1 13
Total Democratic vote for
Mayor 184,647
Cleveland vote in New York
City 162,963
Democratic vote for Mayor
in excess of Cleveland 21,684
Harrison's plurality over
I leveland in the State
of New York 12,110
9,574
But for Independent Hewitt Caus
ing a split and disorganization in
the Democratic party in New York
it'-, Cleveland's plurality over
Harrison in the State of New York
would have been about 9,574 and he
would now be our President-elect.
For, Harrison has 233 electoral votes.
The 36 of New York rakeu from
233 would leave Harrison only 197
and give Cleveland 204; three more
than enough to elect.
That pestilence and ph.gue of
Democracy, Independently, is
what caused leveland's defeat.

Chronicle's editorial, "We honor

This is one of te most im
portant studies in the school
curriculum; it should there
fore receive the undivided at
tention of both pupil- and
teacher. Alas! how few of our
teachers do we find who give
this subject the attention and
study it requires.
What is Geography?. A de
scription of the earth's sur
face. If this be true, can
geography be
"geographies?"
The only true
taught from
I think not,
way to teach
this subject is to take nature
for your book. Take your
children out of doors and there
teach them about the hills,
mountains, rivers, river sys
terns, plains, &c of the globe. All
of these things are to be found
in miniature in every school
yard.
Have little flower beds in
the school yard, if possible.
Let the children prepare the
soil, plant the seed, pull out
the weeds, water the plants
and take the general care of
the plants. If there is no op
portunity for flower beds out
of doors, a few boxes of soil or
sand may be used in the school
room. In this way the chil
dren are led to discover the
relation between soil, moisture
and heat that regulate the
distribution of vegetation.
Teaching geography in this
way the child will hive a
clearer conception of the con
tinents, oceans, atmosphere,
winds and rain-fall of the
globe than if taught simply
from a book.
No wonder children become
disgusted with geography and
.call it "dry" when they are
told to study the dry, dead
facts in a book instead of being
allowed to study from the best
of all books, Nature."
Inculcate a love of nature in
your children and instead of
hating, they will become fas
cinated with this most beauti
ful of studies.
The highest test of good
teaching will be the love your
children have for nature.
