Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Harrison issued the follow
ing proclamation Nov. 4:
The gifts of God to onr people during
the past year haye been so abundant
and 80 special that the spirit of devout
thanksgiving awaits not call, but only
the appointment of day when it may
have common expression. He has
stayed the pestilence at our doors; he
has given us more love for free civil
institutions, in the creation of which his
directing is so conspicuous; he has
widened our philanthropy by a call TO
succor distress in other lands he has
blessed our schools and is bringing for
ward patriotic and God-fesring gener-
alton to execute his great and benevol-
ent designs for our country; lie has
given us a great increase in material
wealth and wide diffusion Of content
ment and comfort in the homes Of onr
people he has given his grace to the
sorrowing. Now, therefore. 1. Benjamin
Harrison, president Of the United States,
do call upon all of our people to OBJ
serve, as we have been wont. Thursday,
the oath day of this month Of November,
as day of thanksgiving to God for his
merciss and of supplicstion for his con-
tinued care and grace.

The defeat of Benjamin Harrison does
not detract one iota from the real great
ness, which the sterling qualities Of his
mind and heart have given him, and
those of the opposition, who in this
hour Of their triumph, attempt to be-
little him, reveal only the index of their
own characters. The New York Sun,
the leading democratic organ of New
York City, is not SO blind that it cannot
acknowledge the existence oftrue worth
even Ina the republican party. Dana
says: The twenty-third president ol
the United States will go out of Office on
the 4th Of next March, having earned
the respect and sincere esteem Of his
fellow countrymsn, democrats as we'll Al
republicans. While the political fstes
have decreed that Benjamin Harrison
shall figure In history as one term
president, that one term will stand
without the dis6gurement Of any serious
scandal, and marked with many credit
abba deeds and important public ser
vices. 1t is . pleasant thing to rsrem
ber that in the canvass just ended few
words have been said or written con
cerning Gen. Harrison which repressn,
him as anything but what he is, namely
. man OF s.perior intellect aud elevated
character, and chief magistrate whom
the country can always regard with ad
miration."

WHAT OF THE FUTURE.

What will be the effect of the change
of administration on the tin industry Of
the Southern Black Hills, is a question
which is agitating the denizens Of the
tin belt, at this time. After years of
preparation, and vast outlay of means,
the day has come when the Harney
Peak Tin Company seems really ready
to commence the production Of Black
Hills tin. Just now the eyes Of the
business world are fastened with eager
interest upon this section. In the ma
tural course Of events, as soon as the
existence of tin in the Hills has been
demonstrated by the successful opera
ton of the mill at Hill City, unlimited
capital will be waiting to secure and
develop any and all available tin prop
critics in this region. The question
once more arises, will the attitude of
the government towards this young in
dustry warrant such investment. Dur
ing the campaign that has just been
concluded. the democrats Of the east
and south have denied the existence Of
tin in the United State, and have pledg.
ed themselves to remove the protective
duty levied by the republican party to
foster the infant industry of tin pro
duction. For the first time in many
years the democratic party will have
entire control of the government. and
the power to repeal or enact any law it
may wish to. There are a great many
people who do not believe that the par
ty was sincere in all of its campaign
declarations, aud who are convinced
that it will never put this particular
threat into execution; but the mere fact
that it has promised 10 rem owe the i'm
port duty from tin, and permit competi-
ton that would make home production
impossible, will be a constant menace
TO the capitalist who might be ever so
desirous Of investing his money in our
mines. This is not calamity howl, or
campaign argument. Those things
are not out OF date, and we must settle
down to a consideration of local inter
es:s. 1t is condition, tangible to all,
and vitally important to many, that
confronts us. 1t has been said by the
ardent admirers Of Grover Cleveland,
that he is greater than his party, BY
announcing his friendly feeling for the
infant industry which his party has
promised TO crush, by promising TO pro-
tect it in the future with his veto power,
he can prove himself worthy of the
tribute paid him.

WHAT wATTERsoN THINKS.

If there are any democrats in the
country who think that their party will
not act upon it's theory that protection
is not constitutional, Henry Watterson
is not one them. In his Courier Journal
of the 10Th inst, he says: "The vote of
Tuesday is primarily and decisiyely
verdict against the policy and theory of
protection. Whatever else was done,
or left undone, in the convass, the issue
between high tariff and low tariff, q
tariff of bounty aud tariff for revenue
only conld be misunderstood alone by
those who lacked the integrity and
courage to meet it, or by those who had
corrupt motive for confuting and
evading il. The transaction in the ma
tional democratic convention on the
point left nothing to do but construc-
ton. Overcome by strange terror of
the truth, the platform committee
brought in tariff plank, which not
merely sent the great idea of revenue
reform &c the rear, but actually asserted,
in distinct terms, the keynote of the
republican dogma of protection. The
convention took this monstrosity by the
throat aid smote it, threw 1t ont and
replaced it by a ringing declaration en-
bodying the true democratic gospel that
the government has no right Of taxation
except for the public purpose of raising
money enough for its support that any
other aim or design OF a tariff is uncon-
stitutional and unjust, and pledging the
party, if returned to power to stamp out
the fraud of protection, as illustrated by
the Mckinley act and the usurping reei-
procity treaties, it nominated Grover
Cleveland, whom it regarded as the
most distinguished and thorough going
representative of these declarations
among living Americans. The response
which Mr.. Cleveland gave to the plat
form, thus amended and revised, was
conclusive and cheered the hearts Of
honest tariff reformers all over the land.
The answer of the masses is spontaneous
and overwhelming. 1t puts doubling
democrats to shame for their cowardics.
il animates and treasures upright demo-
Gratis in the courage of their convictions.
1t is an announcement to America and
the world that the government of the
United States has at last stepped ont OF
the paths of bondage Of protectionism
and upon the broad, open highway of
free trade. No more dark closet reci-
procity treaties; no more Mckinley
bills; no more absurd and burdensoms
devices to make the rich richer and the
poor poorer; by taxing the necessaries
of life; no more Chinese walls to restrict
trade and commerce. nor Chinese gongs
to alarm the ignorant and the foolish ;
but the right of every American to sell
where he can sell to the best profit, and
to buy where he can buy cheapest, with
all taxes paid into the public treasury,
none diverted to build up private for
tunes.

Since the result of the election in
South Dakota has been settled beyond
all doubt, the democratic and independ-
ent leaders have been endeavoring TO
explain why it was their plans mis-
carried so woefully, and each side is
charging that the other did not keep its
part Of the compact. The following
special from Yankton gives faint idea
of the row which is now on: There is
a row between the populists and demo-
Gratis Of South Dakota, precipitate6 by
the discovery that the democratic state
central committee has had in its posses
sion for the last eight weeks the resig-
nation of the four democratic candidates
for presidential electors and the resig-
nation of Peter Couchman. the demo-
cratic candidate for gorvenor, which
designations were not used before cleo
ton to promote the chances for the
election of the Weaver electors and the
independent state ticket. The indie
pendents claim that the democratic
committee broke faith in endeavoring
to bring about fusion without using
these designations. while the democrats
charge that Peterman, the independent
state committee chairman, was bought
up by the republicans. The democrats
say that the independents would not
accede IN reasonable demands for n
division of the Offices, and that therefor
the designations were not used. The
independents rsfute this by asking Whv
the democrats urged the democratic
rank and file to vote for Weaver, when
these designations might have been
used. A. Van Osdel, the independent
candidate for governor, said that he
would 60 back to his farms to thresh his
beans and stay there for six years. He
is greatly disappointed"

TOpena, Kss.. Nov. I3.-The biggest
sensation connected with the late Kan
sas campaign was made public to-day.
II is the public confession of l., S. Hsr-
vey, assistant secretary of the peoples
party campaign committee. Harvey
bad been charged with giving out secrets
of the committee, and this morning, 10
defend himself, he exposed the plot
which was arranged in Topeka TO have
an attempt made 10 assassinate Jerry
Simpson. Harvey SAYS that the parties
to the scheme were w. G. Jones, chair
man Of the democratic state committee,
Breidenthsl, chairman OF the peoples
party committee and Jerry Simpson.
The object was to create sympathy for
Simpson and aid in his election. "The
plan," says secretary Harvey, was to
have Simpson return to his district and
be waylaid and beaten and bruised in
the pretended effort to assassinate him,
the letters TO be found regarding the
employment ofa man to murder him.
as has been published, and the whole
to Offset southern outrages and create
sympathy for Simpson. During the dis
cussion of this scheme Jerry objected TO
being beaten and bruised, but he was
talked out Of the opinion and agreed to
undergo the punishment. but insisted
that the fellow who did the pounding
must not carry it too far" Mr.. Harvey
further says that owing TO the blunder
of Simpsons district chairman the let
sers offering $4,000 reward to the man
who would murder simpson were found,
and the sham attempt Mt assassination
was prevented. When General Weaver
was here Chairman Briedenthai urged
Harvey to hire some one to walk beside
Weayer's carriage and pelt him with
eggs SO that the outrage in the south
might be repeated in Kansas, the object
being to place blame on republicans.
The exposure Of Harvey has created a
great deal of excitement here, and many
threats are made against him. He went
TO his home, ffteen miles from Topeka
to-day, and telegram was sent him ad-
vising him not to go to Topeka.

The Mail of week ago, In an indirect
roundabout manner, charges that un
lawful means were resorted to in the
recent campaign TO secure the election
Of certain candidates for Office. IL does
not come out in SO many words and
allege that voters were bought or bribed
in open violation Of the law, in Custer
county, but any one who reads the fol-
lowing, naturally comes to the con-
clusion that the Mail means just that:
I'VE need not go far 10 find where
pledges were signed by hard working
men, to vote a certain ticket, or for GER
tain candidates on that ticket The
parties so signing pledge must have
had special inducements held out TO
them for doing so, otherwise why sign,
bind, or pledge to do that which the
voter would not have done without be-
ing pledged or paid for"
The CHRONICLE doen't know anything
about the cases referred to, and can't
even so much as guess, who is the
Mail is driving at, and though the state
ments made reflect in measure on all
who were engaged in the campaign, we
wont venture denial in behalf Of
either republican, democratic or iude-
pendent nominees, or their supporters.
Bnt inasmuch as the Mail processes TO
be enlisted in great re form movement,
and, as it seems, has cognizance Of Ger
tain violations of chapter five, sections
6255 and 6256," we would suggest, that
it make its charges directly and in man
ly way, point out the guilty parties, and
allow the law 10 take its course. Ii the
Mail really possesses the knowledge
which it pretends to, it owes il to the
cause of reform, to the community in
which it lives, and to the
many honorable gentlemen of all
parties, upon whom its article
reflects, TO pursue the course suggested
by the CHRONICLE We had believed,
and do YET, for that matter, that the
campaign in this part of the coun 6
conducted by all parties in an honorable
manner. If il wasn't it is time that the
people knew it, and the violatois of the
law were punished. Come Nc, don't
beat about the bush, but speak right out
in meetin.
