THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
By the Governor Of Dakota.

Eis excellency, Chester A. Arthur,
president of the United States. having
designated Thursday, the 3Oth day Of
November next to be observed through
out the Nation as day of Thanksgiving
and praise, it becomes the agreeable duty
of the executive of this territory to call
upon al the people to render homage to
their Creator and Preseryer for the mani
fold blessings vouchsafed to them, among
which may be mentioned life, health, re-
ligious and educational advantages, and
rational social enjoyments. Churches and
school houses now dot our broad prairies
from Nebraska to the international line,
pure water, hitherto beyond reach in
some parts of the territory, has been
found and brought up in great abundance
from the depths of the earth; the
golden. well-filled wheat, and the full,
ripe ears Of corn fill our storehouses to
overhowiDg. The past season has been all
that could be desired, and the harvest
in every section has been so abundant
that it has repaid the labors of the hus-
bandman more than four-fold Our pop
ulation has been largely augmented by
the best classes of native and
foreign-b born citizens, who in many in
stances, have, like the patriarchs Of old,
brought with them their focks and their
heads, their sons and their daughters, to
take and enjoy the munifcent allotments
of land which wise and generous gov
ernment has made the birthright Of every
citizen of the republic.
No devastating commotion OF the ele-
ments, no death dealing pestilence has
visited any portion OF our territory;
peace and unprecedented prosperity have
reigned supreme within our borders.
In view of all these and many other
blessings in the past, and of the absolute
need Of divine guidance in the future,
|, Neemiah G. Ordway, governor Of
the Territory of Dakota, do recommend
that Thursday the 30th day Of November
next be observed as day of Thanksgiv-
ing-Prayer, and Praise, throughout the
Territory Of Dakota, and do urgently re-
quest that the people abstain from their
accustomed pursuits and that they assem-
BILE in their usual places of worship, and
offer to Almighty God, that tribute OF
thanksgiving and praise which is due for
His protecting care over them, and to
make devout supplication for continu-
ance of His divine favor in the future.
In testimony whereof [ have hereunto
set my
hand and caused to be affixed
[sEAL. the great seal of the Territory.

ital of Dakota Territory, on

The Rights of Women.


The question is raised if woman has
not better right to the trousers than
has man. Indeed, the claim is made
that they are hers by discovery and pri-
ority of use; that man is the usurper of
an advantage he first perceived by imita-
ton. 1t will be crushing blow to the
pride of the lords of creation to learn
that they are parading in cast-off fash
ion Of dispised woman, and that inven-
tive females got into robes to be individ
ual in dress. Mrs. Stove, of San Fran
cisco, the leader of social science sister
hood, boldly asserts this fact, and is pre-
pared to maintain it, not alone by getting
into pantaloons, but by the use of tren-
chant argument upholstered by tradition.
Mrs. Stowe says trouser is from trousse,
to dress, and pantaloon from 1oantule, to
cover the heel As soon as woman
began to wear this bifurcated garment,
man. enviously perceiving that his heel
was less handsome than woman's, recog
nized the advantage Of this apparel for
everyday wear, and adopted it. Since
then man has never lctgo his hold. Mrs.
Stowe might have urged the symmetrical
fact that nature has better adapted
woman to pantaloons, and that most men
would reap inestimable benefit by having
their shanks obscured b. the merciful
folds Of an ample pctticoat. Esthetic-
ism demands that man cover up his legs,
but is more lenient to woman.

tist church south of Swan Lake, where

ly respected, popular, wherever known,
