The President Designates Thursday,
November 90.


WASHINGTON, Nov: 2-The following Procla
nation was issued to-day:
Bv the President of the United States Of A'aertcd
PROCLAMATION.
The American people have always abundant
cause to be thankful to Almighty God, whose
Watchful care and guiding hand have been mani
tested in every stage Of their national life, guard
ing and protecting them in time of peril and safely
leading them in the hour OF darkness and danger;
1t Is fitting and proper that nation thus favored
should on one day in every year, for that purpose
especially appointed, publicly acknowledge the
goodness of God, and return thanks to Him for all
Therefore 1, Grover Cleveland President of the
United States of America, do hereby designate
and set apart Thursday, the 26th day OF Noyenl-
Der instant, as day of public Thanksgiving and
prayer, and do invoke the observance OF the same
by all the people of the land On that day let all
secular business be suspended and let the peo-
pie assemble in their usual places OF worship, and
with prayer and songs of praise, devoutly testliy
their gratitude to the Gyer OF every good ana per-
feet gift for all that He has done for us In the year
that has passed, for our preservation as a united
nation, and for our deiyerance from the shock and
danger Of @ and Wbe vars and
rumors of wars have agitated and afflicted other
nations of the earth; for our security against the
scOurge of peStience which in other lands mas
claimed its dead by thousands and filled
the streets with m0urners; for plenteous crops
which reward the labor OF the husbandnan and
Increase nations wealth, and for the content
ment throughout our borders which follows on the
train of prosperity and abundance. And let there
also be on the day thus set apart reunion of fam
lies, sanctfed and chastened by tender memo
res and associations, and let the social intercourse
Of friends with pleasant "reminiscences renew the
ties of affection and strengthen the bonds OF kind
ly feeling And let us by no means forget, while
we give thanks and enjoy the comforts that have
crowned our lives, that truly grateful hearts are
inclined to deeds Of charity; and that kind and
thoughtful remembrance of the poor will double
the pleasures of our condition, and render Oul
praise and thanksgiving more acceptable in the
sight of the Lord.
Done at the city of Washington, this second day
of November, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-fye, and of the independence of the United

More than three months ago, a young man
in Alsatia was bitten severely by a dog,
which was pronounced by surgeons who ex-
amined it after its death to show unmistaka-
BILE signs of madness. The young man was
brought to DR.. Pasteur, who inoculated him
with virus from the spinal marrow of rab-
bits which had died of hydrophobia induced
by Dr. Pasteur. Sixty hours had passed
since the young Alsation was bitten, and his
death by hydrophobia was thought inevita-
Bile. He is, however, still alive and in per
feet health, and Pasteur believes that he is
perfectly protected against the disease. Sey-
eral eminent New York physicians have
been asked their opinions of DR.. Pasteur,s
discovery. They agree that he has gone to
work at the problem in scientific way, and
has made progress, but they are not sure
that he has finally solved it. 1t is too soon,
yet, says DR.. Alexander Mott, to say posi-
lively that the Alsatian boy is out of danger,
for the disease may lie dormant for months,
or .even years, before it is developed. DR..
John c. Peters says that if one of his pa
tients should be bitten by mad dog, he
would telegraph at once to DR.. Pasteur at
Paris for some of his inoculating matter, and
would use it in treating the ease.

IT ISREFoRM OF THE DEMOCRATIC VARIETY.
Philadelphia Press.
The election yesterday was the first in this
city under the Democratic administration
which processes civil service reform, and the
Democratic employees in the federal offices
day engaged in electioneering. This was
what was expected, but not what was prom
ised. 1t is Democratic politics, but not re-
form.
SOUND TALK.
Chauncy M. Depew.
The chairman of the Democratic state
committee was up to see me the other day,
to ask me to keep hands off the campaign. /
told him it was the policy of the New York
Central to permit its employees. to vote as
they pleased without any sort of dictAtion. I
told him furthermore that if any of the lead
ing officers of the company were known to
be influencing their subordinates in the cast
ing of their votes, whether or not it was in
the direction of the opinions of the president
or chairman, they would terminate their re-
lations with the company. And added that
the management would prefer to have its
leading officers vote against the opinions of
that management rather than not to vote at
all.
MR.. CLEVELAND AND THE MUGWUMPs.
From an interview in NY. World
To understand Mr.. Cleveland and his po-
sition, one must keep constantly in mind his
previous political history He has been
elected sheriff, mayor, governor, President
by coalition of the Independents with the
Democrats. To the Mugwumps he believes
he owes all his past successes, and it is to
them that he looks with confidence in the
future. 1t is believed here that Mr.. Cleye-
land is q candidate for second term. He
intends as such candidate, to hold on to

We find in one issue of the New York Post
two explanations of the Republican defeat.
Under the head Of ''The Republican Les
SON. the Post attributes the defeat to the
fact that the Republicans did not succeed in
placating the loose, shifting, independent
vote. But elsewhere it shows from study
of figures that Davenport was defeated by
losses in the Republican strongholds. This
would seem to indicate that by their efforts
to placate the independent vote the Repub-
licans affronted some of the regular vote.

THE NIGHT WATCHMAN.
He Did not Examine the Hydrants, last
Week, Because the Weather was Mild.

Last evenings TIMES was hardly
out when the Night Watchman walked
into the business office of the paper, to
protest against the item as untrue.
He admitted that it was his duty as
night Waterman to look out for fires,
or burglars, and to be on the alert for
the general welfare of the community
but claimed that he had kept close
watch on the hydrants, and that none
were frozen.
He was referred to Manager White,
who informed him that the hydrant at
Rupe.t's corner WAS frozen yesterday,
but that he and Mr.. Whitman, Secre-
tary of the company, had thawed it by
using hot water and salt.
Mr.. Tatro thereupon admitted that,
during the past week or ten days, he
had not tried the MIGRANTS because the
weather was so mild he did not think
they could freeze.
AS night Waterman Mr.. Tatro is
jealous, aud attentive to duty, but the
hydrant had evidently been overlooked
by him.
