boston Transcript


Maine desires the country to know that
it has favorite son at this time in the
person of Hon. Thomas B. Reed, who
cannot be shunted off the track when
the time really arrives for considering
the Republican Residential nomination.
1t is not Necessary to recount Mr.. Reeds
eminent service to the party of which he
is member. Wherever he goes in can
vass, his arguments stir the laggards
and stimulate the zeal of those whose
lukewarnness threatened disaster.
There is enough of native humor about
him to render him very popular inside
and outside of the party. His distin-
guished service for the country in de-
feating free silver bills and-his financial
soundness through. the whole course of
the movement for repeal entities him to
great consideration from the friends of
sound money. He possesses civic pluck;
perceives what is needed, and then has
the courage to act in the direction his
perceptions suggest. His attack upon
palpable absurdities in rules-which had
been tolerated for very many years, and
are still retained in one branch of Con-
gress-exhibits his leading traits of mind
and character. He has resourceful in
tellect, and in mental calibre will COM
pare with anybody likely to be mentioned
in connection with the Presidency three
years hence.

AS A DAY OF
THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER,

People must be good deal puzzled by
the Boston Herald's Washington de-
spatches on the Hawaiian question. Yes
terday, for instance, one of its special de-
spatches reported as follows:
All the talk about the trouble which
Minister Willis is supposed to have had
in Hawaii comes from papers which are
hostile to the admin :S.ration, and there
is not a single fact upon which to base
it AS a matter of fact, there is the
best Of authority for saying, that the
State Department advices which were
brought in on the steamer on which Ad-
miral Skerrett arrived contained nothing
beyond what was stated in the general
news dispatches.
Just below tnis was another special
despatch from Washington, which said
this:
The contents of mysterious cipher
despatch, said to have peen received at
the Navy Department from Minister
Willis of Hawaii. has caused the admin
istration officials much anxiety since
Tuesday night The information con-
veyed in that cipher despatch was unex-
pected, and threw cold damper on the
confidence felt by the President and his
Cabinet that, the change in the form of
government in Hawaii would take place
without resistance on the part OF the
Provisional Government. That cipher
despatch informed the department that
the Provisional Government was pre-
pared to resist it's overthrow.
"All this talk of trouble" says the
first despatch, "comes from papers
which are hostile to the administra-
tion." "The information conveyed in the
despatch" says the second de-
spatch, threw cold damper on the con-
fldence felt by the President" &c. Is
the Herald hostile to the administra-
ton?

NATIONAL THANKSGIVING DA'
Proclannation.
BY THE PRESIDENT.


While the American people should every day
remember with praise and thanksgiving tne
divine goodness and mercy which nave folloWed
them since their beginning as a nation, 1t IS ut
ting that one day in each year should be eSpe-
ciaIly devoted to the contemplation OF the bless
ing we have received from the hand OF COD,
and to the grateful acknowledgment OF his low
ing kindness. .., r.
Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, President OF
the United States do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday, the 30th day OF the present
month of November as a day of thanksgiving
and praise, to be kept and observed by all the
people of our land.
On that day let US forego our ordinary work
and employments and assemble IN our usual
places Of worship, where we may recall all that
God has done for u.s. and where from grateful
hearts our united tribute of praise and song
may reach the throne of grace.
Let the reunion of kindred and the social
meeting of friends lend cheer and enjoyment to
the day and let generous gifts of charity for the
relief of the poor and needy prove the sincerity
of our thanksgiving.
Witness my hand and the seal OF the United
States, which have caused to be hereto
affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, on the
third day OF November in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-three, and of the Independence OF
the United States the one hundred and
eighteenth.
