Thanksgiving.
PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.

1t has been long the custom of the Uni
ted States, on day in each year especial
ly set apart for that purpose by the Chief
Executive, to acknowledge the goodness
and mercy of God and to invoke His con-
tinued care and protection. In observ-
ance of such custom, l, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart THURSDAY, The
25th day of NOVEMBER inst, to be observ-
ed and kept as day of thanksgiving and
prayer. On that day let all our people
forego their accustomed empIoyments and
assemble in their usual places of worship
to give thanks to the Ruler of the UNI
verse for our continued enjoyment of the
blessings of free government; for re-
newal of business prosperity throughout
our land; for the return which has re-
warded the labor of those who till the
soil, and for our progress as people in
all that makes nation great; and while
we contemplate the Infinite power of God
in earthquake, food and storm, let the
grateful hearts of those who have been
shielded from harm through His mercy be
turned in sympathy and kindness towards
those who have suffered through His visi-
tations. Let MS also, in the midst of our
thanksgiving, remember the poor and
needy with cheerful gifts and aims, so that
our services may by deeds of charity be
made acceptable in the sight of the Lord.
In witness whereof / have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
STATES to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this

Cure for Piles.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part Of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, Aatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan-
quo's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense itch
ing, and effecting a permanent cure.

We hear great about the injus-
tice to free labor in placing convict
labor in competition with it; but we
hear little worth listening to of the
way in which convict labor should be
utilized. Convicts must either be sup
ported in idleness at great expense to
the State, or be employed on work
which will defray the cost of their
maintenance. 1t is almost needless to
say that it is impossible to employ
convicts on remunerative work without
theirl coming, to a certain extent, in
competition with free labor. But com
petition with free labor does not imply
injustice to free labor; and it should
be remembered that the State has a
duty to the general body of its tax
payers quite as binding at least as to
that portion of its taxpayers entitled
"free labor" Utilize the convicts for
levee- building, oad-making and such
other public works, see that the finan-
cial product of their labor is not inter-
cepted by individuals or syndicates,
but that it gets into the proper quar-
tiers to defray the expense of their
keep, and we are unable to see how
free labor can have any reasonable
cause Of complaint-[New Orleans

John S. Barbour, of Virginia, says in

II have been abroad for several months
and have no personal knowledge of
the causes thst led to the Republican
victory in our State. From what I
have heard / should say it was due as
much to indifference of the Democrats
as anything else. They did not turn
out to vote. The policp of the admin
istration has been discouraging to the
Democratic party. When men turn
out to work for the success of their
party they like to receive some recog-
milton if they win, or to have their
friends recognized, and not have
things go on as they were before
That's human nature and you cannot
change it. Sentimental policies may
be all right in theory, but they do not
win victories or inspire men with much
enthusiasm. President Cleveland is
probably sincere in his course, but if
he would give US little more practi-
cal politics it would be better for his
party"
