lie would like to know how Mr. Croker,

to spin, accumulated his immense

Lexow committee seemed on the point

OF all so-called civilized peoples. one
looking for the essence of cruelty would
turn unhesitatingly to Spain. History
would bear out such a course. 1t has
been argued that the Spanish are a
noble people and that to their rulers
are to be attributed the corruption and
cruelty which has been such blot
upon the Spanish name and such a
burden upon the country. While it
must be admitted that a government
like Spain's is not so completely repre-
sentative of the people as in a govern
ment like our own, also that the
Spanish people have many noble traits,
nevertheless it seems unnatural to con-
slider the people of that country wholly
apart from and not responsible for
these characteristics that have been
inseparable from Spanish power since
the sanguinary conflict on the plains
of Tolosa.

people are exempt from the criticism
deserved on account of the govern
ment's barbarous practises. for he says:

over 1000 islanders to Jail; but this is
not enough. Spain wishes him to es-

gents he would have the support of the

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

The, people of the United States should
never be unmindful of the gratitude they
owe the God Of Nations for His watchful
care which has shielded them from dire
of peace and happiness. Nor should they
ever refuse to acknowledge with contrite
hearts their proneness to turn away from
Gods teachings, and to follow with sin
cere pride after their own devices. To
the end that these may be quickened, it
is fitted that on. a. day especially ap-
pointed. we should join together in
approaching the throne of grace with
praise and supplication.
Therefore, l, Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent of the United States; do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday. the
18th day of the present month of Novem-
Der, to be kept and observed as a day OF
Thanksgiving and prayer throughout our
land. On that day may ali our people
foregO their usual work and occupation
and assemble in their. accustomed places
of worship. Let them with one accord
render thanks to the ruler of the universe
for our preservation as nation and our
deliverance from ever threatened danger
for peace that has dwelt within our
boundaries for our defense against dis
ease and pestilence during the year tina,
has passed; for plenteous rewards that
have followed the labors of our husband
men, and for all other blessings that
have been vouchsafed to us.
And let us. through mediation OF Hin
who has taught us how to pray. implore
forgiveness of our sins and continual
ton of heavenly favor. Let us not for.
get on this day of Thanksgiving. tho
poor and needy. and by deeds of charity
let our offerings of praise be made more
acceptable in the sight of the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal of the
United States. which l have caused to be
hereto affixed.
