A MELANCHOLY THANKSGIVING.

Governor Pennoyer Of Oregon, who
has an idea that he Is as biz a man as
the president Of the United States,
naturally did not wait for the president
to issue his Thanksgiving proclamation,
but launched his own proclamation In
advance. In the matter Of form Of
proclamation, too, he has departed from
all established conyentionallties, and
strises out on a new line. Listen to his
tale Of woe:
I do hereby appoint the fourth Thurs
day of the present month asa day OF
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the
blessings he has bestowed upon this
commonw eslth during the present year.
God has, indeed, been most beneilcent To
our state and nation. And Yet, unjust
and lll-advised congressional legislation.
having made gold alone a full legal
tender money. has so dwarfed and
psralyzed business that the bounties Of
Providence are now denied To hundreds
Of thousands Of people within the ma
tional domain, Who not only are with
out employ m.nt. but also without the
means of procuring food. raiment or
shelter. While, therefore, the people Of
Oregon return thanks TO God for his
goodness, do most earnestly recon-
mend that they deyoutly implore him to
dispose the President and Congress OF
the United States tn secure restoration
Of silver ss full legal tender money, In
accordance with the policy Of the fathers
Of the Z, public, whereby our industries
NAV be revived and honest tollers Of the
land may procure their daily bread, not
as aims, but As the reward of their labor.
