Signing the Emancipation Procla-
nation.

In the CplturV Messrs. Nicolay and
Hay close that part of the Life dealing
with the Emancipation Proclamation
rs follows; "Mr. Lincoln took the
various manuscript notes and mem
oranda which his Cabinet advisers
brought him on the 3lst of December
(loG2l, and during that afternoon and
the following morning with his own
hand carefully rcwrote the entire body
OF the draft Of the proclamation The
blanks left to designate fractional
parts of States he filled according to
official adviccs Of military limits; and
in the closing paragraph suggested by
Chase he added, after the words war
rantcd by the Constitution his own
important qualifying correction, upon
military necessity
1T is custom in the Executive
Mansion to hold on New Years Day
an official and public reception, be-
ginning at ! o'clock in the morning,
which keeps the President AT his post
in the Blue Room until = in the after
noon. The hour for this reception
came before Mr.. Lincoln had entirely
finished revising the cngroSsed copy Of
the proclamation. and he was com
pcllcd to hurry away from his office to
friendly handshaking and festal greet
,ng with the rapidly arriving official
and diplomatic guests. The rigid
laws of etiquette held him to this duty
for hours. Had actual necessity re-
quired it lie could Of course have left such
mere social occupation at any moment;
1>ltf l,1
for prccipitancy. On the other hand,
he probably deemed it wise that the
completion of this momentous cxccu-
tive act should be attended by every
circumstance Of deliberation. Vast as
were its consequences, the act itself
was only the simplest and bricfest
formality. 1t could 10 no wise be made
sensational or dramatic. Those
characteristics attached. if at all. only
to the long past decisions and an
nouncemcntS Of July - and Septcm-
Der - OF tho previous year. Those
dates had witnessed the mental con-
fict and the moral victory. No cere-
mony was attempted or made Of this
final official signing. The afternoon
was we'll advanced when Mr.. Lincoln
went back from his New Years greet
ings. with his right hand SO fatigued
that it was AL effort to hold the pen.
There was no special conyocation Of
the Cabinet or of prominent officials.
Those who were in the house came to
the executive Office merely from the
personal impulse of curiosity joined to
mom-ntary convenience. His sigma
ture was attached to one OF the great
est and most beneticcnt military de-
crees of history in tho presence Of less
than dozen PERSONS; after which it
was carried To the Department Of State
to be attcsted by the great seal and
deposited among the official archives.

The Great Falls leader. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1888-1900, 1889-03-31

The LEADER Office was yesterday af-
ternoon favored with call from His
Honor Judge J. G. Sanders OF Helena,
department commander of the Grand Ar
my of the Republic for Montana.
The Judge has come to Great Falls in
response to request from old soldiers of
this vicinity for the organization of u
post of the G. A. r., and while here he
will muster In the members and install
the officers of the post to be organized
in this city.
Judge Sanders is one of the pioneers of
Montana. He stood upon the site Of
Great Falls eighteen years ago and this is
his first visit to our city since he came
here with detachment of troops to
punish the murderous redskins who had
hitherto spread terror and desolatlon
through the camps of the hardy settlers
who had dared to invade the sanctity of
their hunting grounds. We greet the
gallant Commander with both hands!

HOME INDUSTRIES.

One of the best speeches at the recent
board Of trade meeting was that Of Frank
B. Wilcox, who in fair and manly man
ner presented the claims Of the Cataract
Mill company for consideration. II the
statements made at the meeting are cor
rect the city Of Great Falls sends to the
East every year about $4,000 for
flour alone. The retention OF this money
in Great Falls would be of great assist
ance in building up our town. At all
events the city Of Great Falls cannot af-
ford to send away such sum. The
writer, for one, purposes hereafter to use
the Cataract mill flour exclusively.
We know from personal experience
that there Is no better flour manufactured
than the best quality made by the Cata-
ract mill. We are we'll aware that there
is a predjudice against q new brand
whenever it is introduced, but 1t is for
the interest Of the merchants and every
resident of Great Falls to encourage and
protect home industries, II we eau
build up such q tlour-manufacturingc city
at Great Falls as there Is at Minneapolis
and there is no reason In the world why
we cannot-we shall have done great
deal. We have the lands there are; none
better in the Territory, and they are GER
| tainly much superior to the wheat lands
of Dakota and Minnesota.
Experiments within half dozen miles
of town have shown conclusively that 80
bushels of wheat to the acre can be rails
ed every year upon these lands. Let eve
ry citizen demand of his merchant the
Cataract mill flour and use that alone.
Mr.. Wilcox's remarks deeply impress
ed those at the meeting with the idea
that there is connection between all in
dustries and between all citizens. Nc
merchant or other business man can
prosper in this place without his neigh
bors directly or indirectly sharing in his
prosperity, LISA law Of society thai
cannot he broken, Let then the citizens
of Great Falls take hold and help built
up this and all the different industries o
this place, and everyone Of US will reaE
our reward for the time and trouble WI
give to it.
