The Globe Democrat says the Legis-
lAture Of Minnesota is halting between
two opinions on the question of encour-
agement to immigration: Shall it
make al appropriation to an immigra-
ton committee and let its starving con-
stituents shift for themselves, or vice
versa3 at does not like to make both
appropriations, as 1t seems rather in
consistent to appropriate money to
. state of starvation, and yet if it can
make only one appropriation, proper
sense Of pride calls an it to make the
customary appeal for immigrants. If
one may judge by the stories of distress
and actual starvation, and by the ap-
peals to the Legislature. it would look
as If Minnesota might properly allow
immigrants to come in Of their own
volition." Here in Missouri no appro-
priations for starving communities are
needed, and we are glad to note that
liberal amount will be given to induce
outsiders to come here. buy our fertile
lands, make homes for themselves, and
grow rich.

The trial Of Guiteau comma

THE trial of Guiteau commenced
Monday at 10 a. m. Some suppose
his trial will last from one to three
months. On the psrt of the prose-
cution one hundred witnesses are on
the list made out by the district
attorney, and about seventy-five
have been summoned on the part of
the defense. 1t is highly probable
that no question on the part Of the
defense will be quietly yielded, but
will be presented, together with the
plea of insanity, and contended for
to the bitter end.

Prools nation
by the presidents.

Ii has long been the pious custom
of our people, with the closing OF
the year, to look back upon the
blessings brought to them in the
changing course of seasons and re-
turn solemn thanks to the all-giving
source from whom they flow. And
although at this period when the
falling leaf admonishes us that the
time of our sacred duty is at hand,
our nation still lies in the shadow
of the great bereavement and mourn
ing which has filled our hearts, still
finds us. hopeful expression toward
the God before whom we lately
bowed in grief and supplication, yet
the countless benefits which have
showered upon us during the past
twelve months call for our fervent
gratitude, and make il fitting that
we should rejoice with thankfulness
that the Lord in His infinite mercy
has signally favored our country and
people. Peace without and pros
perity within has been voucbsafed
TO us. No pestilence has visited our
shores. The abundant privileges of
freedom which our fathers LETT in
their wisdom are still our increasing
heritage, and if in parts of the vast
domain some Affections have visited
our brethren in their forest homes,
vet even this calamity has been tenn
pered in a manner sanctified by the
generous compassion for the suf-
ferers which has been called through
out our country. For all these
things il is meet that the voice of
the nation should go up to God in
fervent homage.
Wherefore, L, Chester A. Arthur,
President of the United States, do
recommend that all people observe
the oath day of November inst, as a
day OF national thanksgiving and
prayer, by ceasing so far as maybe
from their secular labors and meet
ing in their several places of wor-
ship, there to join in asserting honor
and praise TO Almity God, whose
goodness has been so manifest in
our history and cur lives, and offer
ing earnest prayers that his bountics
NAV continue TO us and 10 our chill
dren.
In witness whereof, | have here
unto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington, this
H.. s. seventh day of November, in
the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and
eighty one, and of the indie
pcndence of the United States
the one hundred and fifth.

Ar Wssbinoton Citv the Grim;

AT Washington City the criminal
court on the morning of the 10th
inst, rendered decision in the star
route cases discussing principally
the question as to the infamy of the
crime charged. The conclusion ar
rived at was the crime was infamous
and the accused should have been
proceeded against by indictment.
He therefore sustained the motion
expelling information from files of
the court, and ordered discharge of
defendants. This result has created
much excitement at Washington
City and throughout the country
for the reason that the public be-
lieve, whether justly or otherwise,
that some neglect on the part of Of
ficials had entered iuto the prepsr-
alton of the star route cases. Public
opinion appears to run to the con-
clusion that the present decision
will be an effectual bar to any future
prosecution Of the cases, and es-
pecislly the opinion is expressed
that the failure of the government is
final as regards Brady.
