to the lack of defenses of that coast and
says the time has now come to act. He
makes suggestions as to method and
means to be used, among which Is the
high explosive "Americanite," the inven-
ist of the Point Barrow expedition. which
is the safest and best explosive the gen
eral knows Of
General Howard says with such pow
erful agent the problem Of coast defence
Is resolved almost into one of range,
and our great seaboard cities can be made
comparatively safe without excessive tx
penditure.

lowing proclamation.
A highly favored people, mindful of
their dependence on the bounty of Divine
Providence, should seek fitting occasion
to testify gratitude and sscribe praise to
Him who is the author of their many
blessings. 1t behooves us then to look
back with thankful hearts over the past

in vouchsafing to our land endur .ng peace,
to our people freedom from pestilence
and famine, to our husbandmen abundant
haryests, and to them that labor recon-
pense of their toll.
Now, therefore, |, Benz .min Harrison,
President of the United States of America,
do earnestly recommend that Thursday.
the 2Sth day of this Present month Of
Nov smbeT, be set apart as a day OF
national thanksgiving and prayer, and
that the people of our country. ceasng
from the cares and labors of their work
ing day, shall assemble in their respective

who has prospered US on our way and
made our paths the paths of peace, be
seeching Him to bless the day to our pres

of thanksgiving for each reunited home

Respect for the religious customs and forms
held in vencration by successive generations Is
a patriotic duty which good citizens and their
chosen agents will always faithfully regard.
Gratitude to God who created and so wisely gov

and decline 1t is therefore in obedience to a
plain official obligation, and with the advice Of
the Executive Council, that hereby designate
and set apart, Thursday, the 28th day Of Novem-
Der instant, as day of PUBLIC THANKsoryfsG

Given at the Council Chamber of Augusta,

A FAIR DEAL.

Readers will remember that one
of the fercest fights made in the
constitutional convention was over
the question Of electing the full
quota of State and county officers at
the same time of the submission of
the Constitution. The Democrats
contended that an election for Off
GERS would conceal the issue of
Statehood for Idaho; that after
the people had passed upon the
proposition would be soon enough
to think about electing officers;
that if the people did not care
enough about Statehood to come
out and vote for or against it on its
own merits, it would be the height
of deception to make office-seeking
the issue. They carried the point
and the result was that the people,
for once, had an opportunity of pass
ing on question nntrammeled by
party ties. We doubtif there were
one thousand dollars spent in the
canvas in the entire Territory. 1t
was a square deal.

That Little Tickling

In your throat, which smakes you
cough once in a while and keeps
you constantly clearing your throat
arises from catarrh, and as catarrh
is constitutional disease you need
a constitutional rsmedy like Hsod's
Sarsaparilla. Many cases of con-
sumption can be traced back to the
neglect of some such slight affection
as this. Consumption can be con-
trolled in its early stages, and the
effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla in pur-
flying the blood, building up the
general health, and expelling the
scrofulous faint which is the cause
of catarrh and consumption, has re-
stored to perfect health many per-
sons on whom this dreaded disease
seemed to have a firm hold.

One Fact

Is worth a column of rhetoric, said
an American Statesman. 1t is a
fact, established by the testimony
of thousands of people, that Hoods
Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula salt
rheum, and other diseases or affec-
tons arising from impure state or
low condition of the blood. 1t also
overcomes that tired feeling, creates
a good appetite. and gives strength
to every part of the system. Try it..
