THE deep interest taken by Scandina-
an-Americans in the great question of
protection 10 the American laborer and
his labor is one of the features of the re-
cent National political campaign. This
was peculiarly the case in the North
western States. 1t was here where the
free traders claimed so much. They
boosted that States like Michigan, Wis
eenSir, Minnesota, and Illinois would go
over to the Democracy with overwhelm
ing majorlties. They attempted to show
that such sturdy, industrious people as
the Scandinavians were ready to 90 over
to free trade in body. The fact was
these voters failed to 90 over after the
free traders, but on the contrary were
most intelligently In earnest in favor of
the protection of American laborers and
their labor. Among those who have
had abundant opportunity to know the
prevailing opinion of his countrYmen in
the great issue of the day is Mr.. j. A..
Enander, editor of the Chicago HemLan-
DIET, who made extended speaking tours
through Michigan, Minnesota, and Hi
nois, and testifies to the deep and abid
ing interest taken in the subject by the
ScandinavIans of the Northwest. 1t is
an encouraging sign, yet those who know
best the character of these intelligent
people are not surprised that they have
thus strongly pronounced for protection.

IT Is said that there are Republicans
in Washington who are disposed to
blame Clerk Edward Mcpherson for the
Democratic attempt to steal the House
of Representatives. They claim that Mr..
Mcpherson made big blunder in an
nouncing the day after election that the
Republicans would have thirty majority
in the House, as it is claimed that this
gave the Democratic rascals just what
they desired to figure on and they at
once took advantage of it to look after
the returns in about fifteen Southern
districts, with the result that day by day
the Republican majority dwindled until
it was but nine or less. About that time
Matt Quay fastened to Washington and
threw himself into the breach and since
then the reductions have not been SO
frequent. Mcpherson it appears aban-
doped the field after his announcement
of thirty majority and it is not his fault
that the Democrats were not able to
"doctor" up enough districts to wipe out
Republican supremacy. 1t is thought
that this blunder will be likely to cost
Mcpherson his position of Clerk of the
House, on which he seems to think he
holds sort of mortgage. tbs question
able, however, whether the Republicans
can afford to punish Mr.. Mcpherson in
this way, as he is pretty valuable man
in his place. There are plenty who think
they can fill the bill, however, and the
old officer will need to look carefully to
his interests.

III. MATTsoN, Secretary of State.

SENATOR SABIN has returned from II
business trip to Boston, and said to a
st. Paul reporter yesterday:
So far as the Senatorship is concerned,
l will frankly admit that l am in the
field, and propose to stick to the end,
especially as my friends think that
have an excellent chance for success.
am willing that my effort AT Washington
in behalf of Minnesota and the North
west, shall be subjected TO the severest
scrutiny, and the result will show,
think, that have been faithful to the
trust reposed in me by the people of the
North Star State. l esteem ii an honor
and privilege to represent such a con-
stltuency, and tn glittering bauble of a
cabinet position would not swerve me
from my purpose to remain the United
States Senate. l know what the people
of Minnesota want, and l do not think
that anyone can ever accuse me Of neg
lectIng their interests in the national
legislature. Every measure that would
tend to local improvement has had my
constant support and l am prepared 10
follow in the same beaten path of duty.
There has been no conversation between
Mr.. Harrison and myself as to the fu-
ture, but under no circumstances would
l consent to abate my senatorial aspira-
tons.

THANKSGIVING DAY PROCLAIM
ALTON.

Pursuant to law and a custom much
honored In the observance, do hereby
set apart and appoint Thursday, the 10Th
day OF November. "as a day OF solemn
and public thanksgiving to Almighty God
for his blessings TO us as state and ma
ton" and i recommend its observance
by religious services, family reunions,
and q general cessation from business.
While there is cause for great thank
fulness in the general prosperity pre-
vailing throughout the state, we have
nevertheless our unfortunate poor, to
whom the appointment of a Thanksgiy-
ing day, in view of their want and pow
erty, seems but hollow mockery. In
behalf of these appeal to the rich and
those blessed with abundance, and ask
of them the practice of that Christian
precept, at is more blessed to give than
to receive" sincerely hope that on
Thanksgiving day at least, no Minnesots
home will lack the cheer and comfort OF
plenty. Let the day be signalized by
good deeds, nobly and generously done
IF there is among you a poor man
within any of thy gates in the land, thou
shall not harden thy heart nor shut thine
hand from thine poor brother, but thou
shalt open thine hand wide to him, and
|
thou givest to him, because for this thinl
the Lord thy God shall bless thee in al
thy works and in all that thou puttes
thine hand unto"
Like beautiful flower, full of color
and full of perfume, are the fruitful
words of him who acts accordingly"
1t is hereby ordered that the capito
shall be closed, and no public business
transacted in any of the departments OF
offices of the state on the day herein des
ignated as Thanksgiving day.
In testimony whereof have hereuntt
set my hand and caused the great seal o
the state to be affixed at the capitol il
the city of st. Paul, this l4th day of No
vember, in the year of our Lord, on,
thousand eight hundred and eighty
eight. A. X. McGILL.
By the governor:
III. MATTsoN, Secretary of State.

The New York Witness, in the past a
bigoted third party Prohibitionist, APP
pears to have had little sense pounded
into it by the experience of the late cam
paign, and it gives its readers the follow
ing view of the situation, after a careful
summing up of the profits and losses of
the past policy of the Prohibitionists.
In answer to the question, "What Next?"
it says:
"The present duty of Prohibitionists
is clear. 1t is to revise their plan of
campaign and begin the war against the
liquor traffic over again on a new basis.
They must stop fighting their friends,
and seek closer fellowship with all who
are foes OF the saloon. We have for a
long time been convinced that much was
lost to the cause through a disposition
on the part of many of its supporters to
express their opinions too forcibly and
dogmatlcalIy, and to act in such way as
gave color to the impression that thew
were more anxious for the party than
for the success Of the principle"

WHAT rs now agItating the minds OF the
legislative members-elect is the subject
of a successor 10 Senator Sabin, as that
will be the first matter Of importance to
be brought before the legislature when
1t assemblies early in January. Senator
Sabin is an avOwed candidate for re-elec-
ton, and Of course by reason of his sat
lsfactory service during the past six
years has strong position in the race.
His leading competitor is Gen. w. ID.
Washburn, of Minneapolis, who was for
some time known TO be looking toward
the L. 5. Senate, but who has but re-
Gently become an open candidate. But
Mr.. Washburn is by no means the only
candidate brought forth by those who
oppose Mr.. Sabin's reelection. Since il
became known that there would be a
stubborn fight over the matter, and es-
peclally since the false report of Mr.. Sa-
bins withdrawal, new aspirants are
being announced until there are not less
than dozen in the field. Horace B..
Strait, of Shakopee, Acknowledgement
Clapp. of Fergus Falls, Knute Nelson,
of Alexandria, Gordon L. Cole. of Fari-
bault, Ignatius DonnelIy, of Nininger,
j. S. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, Judge
e. NJ. Start, OF Rochester, Associate JUS
tice Dickinson, formerly of Mankato,
Congressman Lind, of New Ulm, A. Bar
to, of st. Cloud, Judge Rea and +. F.
Davis, of Minneapolis, are among those
whose friends have declared for them.
The Winona papers have spoken favor
ably to a southern Minnesota man, but
they can hardly mean Window, as it is
understood the ex-senator is engaged in
money-making just now, and has es-
chewed politics. Among the above for
midable list there are few names which
would not lend honor 20 the exalted po-
sition, and it is therefore not possible
that the legislature will make mistake
regarding the U. S. Senatorship. There
will, however, be great many disap-
pointed people after the election is over,
and we fail to see why the friends oil
Senator Sabin are likely to be among
these.

FAIRMoNT NctcS: Senator d. NJ. Sabin
denies the ridiculous story that he re-
fuses to be Il candidate for reelection to
the United States senate. We believe
to-day his chances are far better than
those Of any other man to be his own
successor, and he is by all odds the best
material for the United States senate
from Minnesota as vet mentioned in
connection with the place for the ensu-
ing term. He ought to and We hope
will be reelected.

TuE see-Saw over the result of the late
election in West Virginia still continues.
Does not this ridiculous delay in the re-
turns from Southern states clearly prove
that the light of Republicanism Is need

chinery is arranged to count in the Dem
OcratiC candidates when necessary.
