Thanksgiving Day.

WASHINGTON, November 3.-The
President this afternoon issued the
following Thanksgiving Day proclama-
ton:
While the American people should ev-
cry day remember with praise and
thanksgiving the divine goodness and
mercy which has followed them
since their beginning as nation, it is
fitting that one day in each year should
be specially devoted to tho contemplation
of the blessings we have received from
the hand of God and 10 the grateful
acknowledgment Of his loving kindness.
Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent OF the United States, do hereby de-
signate End set apart Thursday, the 3Oth
day OF the present month of November,
as day of thanksgiving and praise to be
kept and observed by all the people of
our land. On that day let US forego our Or
binary work and employment and as
where we may recall all that God has
done for us, and where, from grateful
hearts, our united tribute of praise and
song may reach the throne of grace. Let
the reunion OF kindred and social m msst-
ing of friends lend cheer and enjoym
to the day, and let generous gifts Of char
ity 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 eighteen hundred and ninety-three
and of the independence of the United
States the one hundred and eighteenth.

One of Ten Thousand,

CHICAGO, November 4.-More than
10000 babies were cared for by Miss
Halls nurses in the children's building
during the six months of the Fair. Only
ono of all that number was abandoned
by his natural protectors. This one is a
very small boy, hardly 8 months old.
Last Saturday morning woman appear
ed at the nursery with the little fellew
and asked Miss Hall to take care of him
while she went to the emergency hospital
for treatmen.. The day passed and the
mother did not return. Supposipg that
the woman was ill nothing was done,
and the babe was carefully nursed in
expectation of fond mothers gratitude.
The Fair ended and the little unknown
was still unclaimed. Thomas Lord hea rd
of the baby and told little Margaret Burn
ham, the daughter of Worlds Fair Com
missioner Burnham, that if she would
consent to act as patroness of The Worlds
Fair baby he would find the S25 necessary
to place him in good home for adoption.
Margaret accepted and chose Horace for
the child's name. He is being cared for
temporarily in a private family, while
efforts are being made to find good
home for him. That there were no more
cases of this kind during the Fair is re-
garded as remarkable in view Of the fact
that the Paris Exposition had to provide
for hundreds left in the nurseries.

Killed the Conductor.

Lutte Rock, ARK, Nov. 3.-Fast ex-
press train No. 81, of the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern, known as the
"Cannon Ball." due hero at 2:10 O'clock
a. M, was held up and robbed by seven
masked men. at Oliphant. Ark, seven
miles north of Newport, at 10 O'Clock to-
night. Conductor J. F. McNally was
shot and killed while trying to protect
his train.
Oliphant is small lumber town, OF
about 900 inhabitants, situated in II lone
ly timber district, in White county.
When train No. 81 stopped at the station
two men jumped on the engine and,
pointing revolvers at the engineer and
fireman, ordered them to keep still,
threatening to blow out their brains ii
they moved muscle. The other five
surrounded the express car, the door of
which was open, and at once began firing
a wicked fusilade from their revolvers.
Conductor j. P. McNally drew his re-
yolver and returned the robbers fire,
but before he succeeded in wounding any
of them he was shot and killed.
The robbers then entered the express
car, overpowered the messenger and loot:
ed the car. Leaving two men to guard
the trainmen, they proceeded to rob the
passengers. They entered the coaches
and sleepers and, at the point ofa revol-
yer, relieved all the passengers of their
valuables. Then they left with parting
volley, taking northerly direction. A
telegram was at once sent to the sheriff
at Newport, who formed a posse and
started in pursuit.
An engine was dispatched to Augusta
for bloodhounds. kilograms were quick
ly sent to Little Rock for assistance, and
a special train left about o'clock this
morning, carrying posse of officers and
q pack of bloodhourds.
The train which was held up is expec-
ted here about 2:l5 o'clock this morning,
bringing the remains Of Conductor Nc
Nally. Until this train arrives full par
ticulars of the robbery cannot be learned.
The railroad people have no idea as to
the amount of money secured by the
robbers

Thirty Cents For Cotton.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, November q
Reports reached here oday from south
west Arkansas that the white caps have
posted notices on almost every gin in
hat section warning farmers not to gin
any more cotton until the price advanced
to 30 cents pound.
Ginners are strenuously obeying the
injunction that forIoids the running OF
their gins under penalty of being burned.
Most Of the gins are full of cotton ungin-
ned, and its destruction would entail Sc
rious loss to the farmers. The farmers
are perfecting plan of action against
the white caps, and bloodshed is expect
ed in the community.
Several gins have been posted in this
vicinity during the last few days, and
the farmers are scared for fear that all
will be destroyed. The Governor is be-
ing flooded with appealing communica-
tions and it is more than probable that
executive interference will be interposed.

Atr0ciOus Assassination.

tragedy occurred in Goldville, in this

was assassinated while at supper with
his family. Some unknown party
fred load Of slugs into his stomach
through an open door. He died in hf-
teen minutes.
Hairston's dwelling was burned last
sur ner by incendiaries and two negroes,
Wade Cannon and George Bowers, were
convicted of the crime and executed in
September. Hairston was the prosecu-
tor. 1t is conjectrred that revenge may
have been the motive for the assassina-
ton.
A negro tenant on Hairston's place,
named Reeder, has been arrested on sus-
picion, but it is said that there is not yet
q strong case against him.
Hairston was good citizen and was

not unlikely if the murderer is discover
ed and captured. Only meager details,
however, have been received here.

of tho Act. which. az

purpose of the Act, which, as i navr
already held, is to restrict and r'..ula'
the sale of and traffic il liquor, aud as
understand the Che ster cases eX rel
Hoover and ex rel Groeschels, our Su-
preme Court has already decided that the
Act In question is an Act to regulate the
sale Of liquor.
In these Chester cases our Supreme
Court has said: "Having reached this
conclusion, that the said Act, (the Dis.
pensary Act,) being in effect all Act to
regulate the sale ofspirituous liquors, the
power to do which is universally recog-
nized, it is quite clear" etc. II S. T..
Rep, 1856.
Most of the argument against the con-
stitutionality of the eDispensary Act made
before me, and, l may say, elsewhere,
seems to be directed more to the wisdom
of the Act than to the power of the Cen
eral Assembly to pass the Act.
The question is one of power and not of
policy. AS to the wisdom or the unwis-
dom of Acts of the General Assembly
the Coufts have nothing to do. That is
question for the people. 1t is proverbial
that ours is Government of the people,
by the people and for the people, and it
is for the people by the ballot-boX to
correct mistakes in legislation whan they
are satisfied that such mistakes have been
made by their representatives, and not
for the Courts. It has been argued that
the General Assembly has no constitu-
tional right to appropriate money to
engage in business. For all public pur-
poses the power of the General Assembly
is absolute in the absence of Unconstitutional
provisions. The same authority. holds
1.-THE powers of the Legislature in dispos-
ing oil the revenues of the State and its
discretion relating to such disposition
are complete and unlimited in the absence
of constitutional provisions" q Am.
and Eng. Encyc. of Law, &c..
The State is daily engaged in the sale
of phosphate rock to individuals for
revenue. If the State can own phosphate
territory and sell the rock it can purchase
if necessary other phosphate territory for
the purpose of traffic in phosphate. It is
without question that the State owns both
real aud personal property, and can dis
pose of it at will. These instances give
to illustrate the doctrine.
Holding the views have herein
announced, cannot quash the indict-
ment. The motion to quash is therefore
overruled.

ST. REGIS INDIAN BASKETS {!

Mr.. EDITOR: The St. Regis tribe
of Indians are located on Rcserva-
ton of IA, 900 acres in Western Kansas.
The tribe numbers 2,100 souls, inclu-
ding bucks, squaws and papoose. They
still adhere to their own language, few
of them being able to speak English.
They, like the red men in general,
never want to be civilized enough to do
much hard work That is one of
the accomplishments of the pale-face
that they regard as unfit for warriors.
and should only be tolerated when per-
formed by squaws. During the hunt
ing and fishing season the bucks are
seldom found at home, as they had
rather hunt deer ten hours day
for week than hoe half acre of
corn. This rambling life, spent on rip
pling strealuz, mirror lakes and virgin
forests, studying the beautiful foliage,
the exquisite colorings of the forest
leaves, the lovely hues of the prairie
flowers, and their natural blending and
shading to produce brilliant and snowy
effects. These dreamy hours, spent in
studying nature, has developed very
keen conception Of the artistic blend
ing of colors, so as to produce most
gorgeous results. For centuries past
they have studied the making of bril-
liant and delicate colored dyes, until
at last they have acquired such skill
that they can dye strips Of wood that
cannot be distinguished from the finest
colored ribbons. These strips Of ash
are then heated, so that the colors will
be "fast," when they are wound in and
out in the most beautiful styles of Bas-
kets, and when finished they represent
picture Of color-blending unequalled
in a studio.
