ThanksgivinE PrOclamut ton.

The President has officially designated
Thursday, November 70. as a day of ma
tional thanksgiving and prayer. In his
proclamation he says:
ION that day let our ordinary work and
business be suspended, and let us meet in
our accustomed places Of worship and give
thanks to Almighty God for our preserva-
ton as a nation, for our immunity from dis
ease and pestilence, for the harvests that
have rewarded our husbandry, for re-
newal of national prosperity and for every
advance in virtue and intelligence that has
marked our growth as a people.
And with our thanksgiving let us pray
that these blessings may be multiplied unto
u.s., that our national conscience may be
quickened to a better recognition of the
power and goodness of God, that In our ma
tional life We may clearer see and closer
follow the path Of righteousness.
And in our places Of worship ana praise.
as we'll as In the happy reunions OF kindred
and friends, on that day, let us invoke d.
vine approval by generously remembering
the poor and needy Surely He who has
given us comfort and plenty will look upon
our relief Of the destitute and our minis
trations of charity as the work OF hearts
truly grateful and as proofs OF the sincerity
of our thanksgiving"

HIS WHOLE HEART IN 1T.
Activity of the Mikado mt Hiroshima
Japan.


The Japanese newspapers received at the
japanese legation here give graphic de-
scriptions Of the emperor's headquarters at
Hiroshima and of the enthusiasm with
which the war preparations are made. The
imperial headquarters are in al old wooden
building two stories high, formerly used as
an army barracks. The rooms are small
AMI scantily furnished. The emperor occu-
pies the upper floor, while the lower story
is used for the council Of war. The en-
peror rises al and does not retire until IL
all the while wearing military costume. He
personally directs all that goes on, and has
proved to be an interchangeable worker. All
the barracks and quarters nearby are full
of soldiers. There is the constant rattle end
clank Of cannon, horses, guns and sabers.
The streets are lined with flags and lam
terms. The soldiers, as they move on, are
cheered by enthusiastic crowds. The spirit
of humbling China to the dust is every
where manifest, and the japanese, without
exception, regard this result as assured be-
yond the slightest doubt.
The unanimity of war sentiment Is shown
by the printed declaration of the Kalshinto
party, which has, hitherto, resisted the
government. 1t announces that the chas-
tisement of China is the first and para
mount duty of Japan. 1t there gives its
support to all war measures, and saws it
will resist any proposition Of peace until
China Is humbled and the objects of the
war attained. The full text of the en-
peror's decree establishing pensions for dis
tinguished service Is printed. The pensions
range from 900 yen to IS yen per annum
according to the service, and are divided
into seven classes. In case of death, the
widow or ORPHANS of the deceased are to re-
ceive the pension.

MEETINGS AT MANASSAS.
Democrats and Republicans Hav
Speaking the Same Night.

Correspondence of The Evening Star.
MANASSAS, Va, October 30, 1894.
There were republican and democratic
meetings here last night. The latter was
held in Hixon's Hall, to which the speakers
were escorted by a brass band and big
crowd. The first speaker was j. +. JET
fries, who was introduced by Maj. Taylor.
He made a forcible address, attacking the
system Of protection and declaring that
the more 1t was pulled down the greater
would be the prospesity of the farming
and business communities. He spoke FOL
an hour and created much enthusiasm.
In response to repeated calls Congress
man Meredith took the platform and In
dulged In a plain talk to his fellow towns
men. He said he was a democrat from
principle and not for gain and hoped to
win the fight by an appeal to mems reason
and not their passions. He strongly at
tackled the republican party and upheld the
income tax, instancing numerous cases In
which 1t caused the overwealthy TO pay
taxes proportionate to the benefits they re-
ceived from the government. Manassas IL
Mr.. Meredith's home and the high esteem
in which he is held here was evidenced by
the cordial manner In which he was greet
ed last night.
At the conclusion Of his remarks short
talks were given by Judge Nicol Geo. c.
Mr.. Meredith's hard campaign is telling on
him and he Is SO hoarse he can scarcely
speak above whisper.
MIR. McCaul Favors Protection.
At the same time the democrats were
speaking In the interest of free trade Mr.
P. H. McCaul, the republican nominee. was
In Blossoms Hall. three blocks away, de-
claring that in protection, as embodied in
the Mckinley law, was the only hope of the
nation. Under a former democratic ad-
ministration," he exclaimed, ct took q

nails. Thirty years of republican rule and
a pint of skim-milk will buy a pound OF
nails now" This suit Of Clothes" he said

Mr.. McCaul is an interesting speaker and
particularly happy in illustration His
audience was a large one, composed mostly
OF colored men, who came from all over the
county. The democrats claim Prince VIII

The Prorosed Assessment.

The Democratic Adcocate, of the Bird in
slant, contains an instructive article on the
"Cnst Of Assessment" From it we CLEAN
that should the bill now before the House
Of Delegates become law, 81. Mary's
would be one Of the counties in which the
Board of Control and Review would sit for
two days in the week, beginning work on
the second Tuesday in September and con.
tinuipg until the third Tuesday in Novem-
Der.
In all the counties the boards are to
have one clerk, at 90 30 per day. and in
Baltimore two clerks at So so each. The
per diem of assessors is $3.50 in the coun-
ties and $5 90 In Baltimore.
ST. Msry's is to be divided into two
assessment districts with three assessors to
q district. and eighty-eight days are TO be
allowed for their work.
Should there be no extension of time,
the assessment, exclusive Of room rent, ad-
veriising, books. blanks and stationery,
would cost St. Mary's, 5000. The AdCo-
cate figures that the total cost in the CITY
for assessment would reach about $50, 900.
In the counties the extras will cost an
average of $500. and the total cost in the
Stale without any extension of time, will
lie about $4,000.

Mr.. Frank NJ. Neale, agent Of the Indus.
trial Land Development Company, of New
York, has been in the Sih district of our
county examining the lands bordering on
the Patuxent River and the Bay with a
view 20 securing a site for town of man.
Ufacturies
Mr.. Neale is working for practical, hard.
headed business men-men, with money
which they wish to invest but who
desire first of all to find place where
their investments will return dividends.
Like all who know of St Mary's this De
velopment Company sees that it is goodly
country, thatit lands are fair to look upon
and that it has harbors capable of floating
the navies of the world. Rich lands and a
fine harbor are what the Company wants.
IL knows what il is after and when il sees
1t processes its willingness to pay fair
price for il and its agent is asking on the
lands suitable for his company's purposes
"options," or the assured privilege of buying
the lands at certain price and at given
future time. The men at the helm in this
business are not dreamers, builders of air
castles or cranks but are masters in the
art Of fortune making and shrewd inves-
tors OF money In paying schemes. We
hope the land owners of the section will
not frighten away tie enterprise seeking a
habitatior in our midst by fixing fancy
prices upon their lands, but will demand
only fair consideration and treat with the
company a. they would with a neighbor
seeking TO deal for cash. We have known
not few instances where a desire 10 OBJ
tain "A big price for land has been the
cause of lost opportunity to dispose Of
property which il was most desirable 10
sell. II zone desires to sell, fix price at a
figure which is notso high as to drive away
the prospective buyer.
Consider what benefits would result from
the founding of manufacturing town in
our county such as this company Is seeking
TO establish In an incredibly short space
OF time our population would be doubled
and our wealth quadrupled. Our farmers
would have market at their doors for
their produce aud lands that 10 dav are
idle and valueless would afford work and
competency to thrifty cultivators. More
over, the parties who sell 10 the cornpanv
could with the ready money obtained from
the sale find investments in the hcoming
t''wn which would make their fortunes
and we would see repeated in old =
NsTY's the story of success which ike
enterprises have told in the new Son,h
and in the great West. May success attend
all and every effort to develop the resource.
