ST. LOUIS, July 14-News from Nebraska
leaves little doubt that the people of that
State are ready to take up the prohibition
experiment, and are arranginga vigorous
prohibitiou campaign. The liquor men,
while conceding that an amendment would
be adopted readily if submitted to the peo-

have the support of most of the daily news

Flipper hasjust been dismiss
81 from the army for the irregu-
lar use he made of public mon
a i year and more ago. The
criticism occasionally passed
nnon our fellow-citizens of At
rican descent-that they will lie
and they will steal-seems to
he verified by the history Of the.
eolored cadets. Whitaker was
tbe victim of strange and uni
yersal injustice if he did not
slit his own ears and concoct and
swear to all absurd story about
how they were slit by creatures
of his Imagination. Smith gain
ed prominence at West. Point
only as a versatile inventor.
Flipper, to whom the hopes of
the colored race were pinned,
and who did contrive to get
through West Point, fell a vic
tim to the temptation offered by
post funds. All these colored per-
sons have been treated with ex-
IRENE leniency. If Whitaker
and Smith had been white they
would never have been allowed
to 90 as far at West Point as
they did go. If Fhpper had been
white he would have been dis
missed a year ago. Lying and
stealing are two vices which are
particularly discountenanced in
the army, and it is to be hoped
that army opinion will not be
changed in-this respect even in
order to retain colored persons
Id the military service. 1t is
to be hoped that any member of
Congress who may be inclined
to appoint a negro to a cadet
ship hereafter will reflect upon
the experience hitherto under
gone by colored cadets, which
indicates that to appoint a ne
gro to a cadetship is a cruelty
to him and an injury to the SER
vice.

About Watering Plants.

Unless one has an abundant
supply of water, SO that its use,
when once begun, can be con-
tinued, it is better, as a general
thing, to not water at all. In
the drouth which we SO gener-
ally have this month, a mere
spfinkling of the leaves is worse
than no watering at all. Still,
we all may have in the vegeta-
BILE as well as in the flower gar
den certain plants that we would
like to favor. LII such cases, in
stead of watering the plant, the
water should be applied to the
soil draw the earth away from
the plants, forming a sort of
basin around them ; then pour
Oh the water gradually, and let
il soak III around the roots. AT
rewards return the removed dry
earth to its place, and this will
net as a mulch to keep the roots
moist. = american 4gricalturast

Thanksgiving.

The President of the United States
having by proclamation set apart
Thursday, Nov. 80, 1882, as day of
public thanksgiving throughout the
land /:
Now, therefore, l, David H. Je-
rome, Governor of the the State of
Michigan, in conformity with said
proclamation and with time .honored
custom, do recommend that the peo-
pie of this State, on that day, laying
aside their avocations, do assemble
and meet together, and render thanks
to Almighty God for the benefits re-
ceived at his hands, for the abundant
harvest, for peace, happiness and Sc
curity, and for the prosperity of the
commonwealth.
And / further recommend that the
day be observed as time for kindly
deeds of charity for the suffering and
unfortunate, that all within the COM
monwealth may remember the Great
Giver of every good and perfect gift.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the Great
Seal Of the State to be affixed,
at the city OF Lansing, this fourth
day of November, A. d. 1882.

THE ELECTIONS.

Herewith we place before our read
ers the result of the elections held on
Tuesday. In most cases comment is
unnecessary. The result speaks for
itself. The contest descended to a
personal fight between men and
cliques, and resulted, as such contests
ever do, in the defeat Of the party in
power. We regret the result on the
ground that it endangers the industrial
interests of the nation, more than for
any other reason, by the election of a
free trade House of Representatives.
That the so called Bosses have been
defeated is matter of satisfaction,
rather than regret. 1t will purify the
political atmosphere and ensures a
Republican victory in 1884. And
though in the accomplishment of this
result, good men, like Folger of New
York, and Beaver of Pennsylvania,
have been sacrificed, yet Conkling
and Cameron are the real victims,
and the nation will rejoice in their
political humiliation. The figures
will bear careful investigation and
though they may not be so accurate
at this time as is desirable, yet they
are substantially correct, and fairly tell
the story of Tuesdays work.

Advices received by Grover Cleve-
land have caused him to expect a ma
jority of nearly 100000 when the re-
turns from New York shall have been
completed, and at mass-meeting in
Buffalo Wednesday evening his name
was freely used in connection with the
presidency. The state will have 81
democrats and IL republicans in the
next congress. In Pennsylvania the
plurality of Pattison, democrat, for
governor, is over 1000, and the demo-
Gratis have gained five congressman.
Ben Buffers majority in Massachusetts,
is 1892, while all the other state Off
GERS are republican by about $1,000.
John S. Wise, Mahone's candidate for
congressman-at-large from Virginia,
has carried the state by 5000. Hale,
the republican candidate for governor
of New Hampshire, is now believed to
have triumphed by $50. The democrats
OF Delaware elected Stockley governor
by 1885 majority. Waller, the demo-
necticut, has majority of AGO. and
three congressman have been elected
by the democrats. In Michigan, David
II. Jerome, republican. was beaten for
governor by j. w. Begolc by 5000 or
more, but the remainder Of the repub-
lican state ticket was successful. In
diana gave the democratic candidates
for state offices an average majority OF
5000. Illinois has elected the republic
an ticket by about $1,000 majority.
Four republican congressman were de-
feated in Iowa. George w. Click, DEM
ocrat, beat st. John for governor OF
Kansas by nearly 10000, but the other
republican candidates were elected
In Colorado James b. Grant was
elected governor by 500. Nevada
chose a democratic governor and
a republican congressman. The
majority of General Stoneman,
democratic candidate for governor of
California, is $4,000. Iowa elected Hull
secretary Of state by 10000 majority
over the democrats. 1t appears that
Lambert Tree was only defeated in the
Fourth Illinois congressional district
by 154. General Singleton carried
Adams county illinois, by 5000, but
was beaten by j. M. Riggs by 700. Cen
eral Chalmers Is elected an independent
from the Second district Of Mississippi.
The First district of Wisconsin Is con-
coded to John Winans, democrat. Will
liam Pitt Kellogg has triumphed in the
Third Louisiana. James o. Broadhead,
democrat, claims the Ninth Missouri by
20 majority. In Montana the demo-
Gratis elected Martin Maginnis as dele
gate to congress by 1000 over A. @.
B0tkin. Tom Ochiltree is said to have
certainly carried the Seventh district OF
Texas.

In conformity with custom, the annual
observance of which is justly held in honor
by this people, l, Chester A. Arthur, presi'
dent of the United States, do hereby sci
apart Thursday, the goth day of November
next as day ofpublic thanksgiving
The blessings demanding our gratitude are
numerous and varied. For the peace and
amity which snbsist between this Republic
and all the nations of the world; for freedom
from internal discord and violence for the
increasing friendship between the different
sections of the land of liberty, justice, and
constitutional government; for the devotion
of the people to our free institutions and
their cheerful obedience to mild laws for
the constantly increasing strength of the Re-
public while extending its privileges to fell
lowmen who come to us; for the improved
means of internal communication and the in
creased facilities of intercourse with other
nations for the general prevailing health of
the year for the prosperity of all industries.
liberal return for mechanics toll, affording a
market for the abundant harvests Of the hus-
bandman; for the preservation of the nation
al faith and credit; for wise and generous
provision to effect the intellectual and moral
education of our youth for the influence up
on the conscience of restraining and trans
forming religion, and for the joys of home !;
for these, and for many other blessings, we
should give thanks.
Wherefore, do recommend that the day
above designated be observed throughout
the country as day of national thanksgiving
and prayer, and that the people, ceasing from
their daily labors, and meeting in accordance
with their several forms of worship, draw
near to Almighty God, offering to Him
praise and gratitude for the manifold good
ness which He has vouched to us, and pray
ing that His blessings and His mercies may
continue.
And / do farther recommend that the day
thus appointed be made a special occasion
for deeds of kindness and charity to the suf-
fering and needy, so that all who dwell with
in the land may rejoice and be glad in this
season of national thanksgiving.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
