THANKSGIVING P~RocLAMATIoN.
Grover Cleveland Calls Upon the

WASHINGTON, d. c., November A.
The president, to-day, issued the fol-
owing Thanksgiving proclamation
The people Of the United States should
never be unmindful Of gratitude they owe
the God of nations for his watcbful care
which has shielded them from disaster

acknowledge, with c~ontrite hearts, their
proneness to turn away from Gods teach-
ings and to follow with sinful pride their
own devices.
To the end that these thoughts may be
quickened, II is fitting that on the day es.
pecialIy appointed, we should join togeth
or in approaching the throne of grace with
praise and duplication. :
Therefore, /. Grover Cleveland, presi-
dent OF the United States, do hereby des-
ignate and set apart Thursday, the 26th
day of the present month OF Novem

land.
EOn that day let all people forego their
usual work and occupation, and assembled
in their accustomed places OF worship, let
them with one accord render thanks TO

mess during that protracted disturbance,
and was witness to many scenes Of SOM
Der and many of a humorous character.
These were mostly seen in the returns
from the seat Of war just after a battle.
Sometimes after q victorious Federal
action, or the capture of a rebel town,
the officers, as well as the men, made a
practice Of sending home trophies they
had captured. These often were house
hold effects of comparatively little val
ne, and cost the recipients at home a
large tax for express transportation.
Sometimes live stock was sent, consist
ing largely of dogs and donkeys, some
times a singing bird, OF fowls of pecul-
lar breed. On n occasion a stalwart
negro fellow was received at the Boston
Office, sent by an officer who found he
could do nothing else with him and
thought he might be of use on his farm
at home. The grinning darky had a card
firmly fastened about his neck, giving
theaddress where to land him, with this
direction Feed and grub this niger
all that he needs
It was sad, however, to see the
rough boxes often piled up outside the
office containing the remains Of the
boys in blue sent home for burial among
the scenes which they had left a short
time before for the southern battlefelds.
These relics often proved a ~burdensome
cost to their bereaved families at home.

tressed one at home. The business

Of all the republican party has said and
done In the campaign that has
Just closed. No; the republican
party will have responsibilities
when 1t takes the reins OF this govern
ment, greater than any party has had
since the day Of L~incoln's first inaugu-
ration.
The one thing that we hope for, Is,
that no democrat or silver man, how
ever ardent he moy be, will stand In
the way of tho republican party to
bring us material prosperity. The sill
yer senator who attempts to block the
passage OF a tariff bill that will benefit
the United States, simply because he
can not have his way on the money
question, Is not patriotic, and deserves
the condemnation Of the people. The
silver cause is right, but If the people
OF the country desire 1t to come about
through international agreement or to
be re!egated to the background, until
the tariff is properly adjusted, then
their desires should be respected and
the silver senators should. help, with
their best efforts, to adjust the tariff,
