The President submitted his Thanksgiving
proclamation TO the Cabinet. 1t is pub
lished elsewhere in The Times. They say
that this is the first time that such a state
paper has been launched previous to the
election, although Grover Cleveland did
emit one on election day. The word
America appears now here in the document.
The second sentence of the proclama ton
is worthy of Pythagoras. 1t begs all the
questions assumes all the premises, en-
larges all the conclusions, and is subscribed
'1psc DiXit" The paper is a gloritication
of the modified sugar schedule.
There has been some adverse criticism
of the President ON account of the reasons
assigned for exploiting the Thanksgivin z
proclamation SO early in the game and so
long before election day, and especially
election day in Ohio. Il is necessary to
go back to 1877 to find proclamation
issued on October 20. The last four
proclamations were November 3, 1893,
November 1, l 894, November 4, 1895, No

nation was in 1888.

The Troubled Antilles.

According to some reports, weyler was To
leave Cuba yesterday. AS heretofore stated,
he has been ordered to remain until after the
arrival of Marshal Blancu. That does not
necessarily mean that he would do so. He
is d Scsry kind OF character, for one thing,
and he may think that Blanco is bringing
an order for his arrest. Again, be seems
determined 10 encourage and enjoy the
promised demonstration OF the volunteers
in his favor, and against Americans, al
though that has been forbidden from
Madrid.
Under these circumstances the nervous
ness IF foreigners, and among them many
Americans, in Havana is easy to under
stand. Il force of 10000 haIr-drunken and
blood-thirsty armed men turned loose in
the streets OF the city, and inflauled with
rage against the people of America, might
be capable OF some mischief that would be
irreparable.
it is conceded that even one American
warshIr in the harbor would afford pro.
lection to our citizens and render impos.
sible any outbreak against them which
Weyler and his mob may have In CON
temptation. 1t is both foolish and wicked
for our authorities to take chances against
the possible contingencies of the situation.
If weyler can find the opportunity and the
instruments he viii not leave the island
without some attempt TO be revenged upon
the nation which he regards as responsible
for his failure and downfall.
There is little or no prospect that any
naval protection will be sent to our pe,i-
pie in Havana. The Government is busy
with the Ohio election and will be home
voting and stump speaking for the next
few days, That is the matter OF prime
importance. ANY naval demonstration
would involve executive attention and
tend to keep the authorities in Washing
ton, whereas they all are needed in Ohio.
II Weyler and the volunteers should start
in and lave a little St. Bartholomew cele-
bration at the expense OF American pris-
oners and sojourners it would be regretted
afterwards, of course; just as weyler' s

How II May Affect Results.

More than ever the eyes of the nation
turn toward New York today From Maine
to California the query rises: What effect
viii the death of Henry George have upon
the election? As far as can be judged, at
this distance, the heir of the dead leaders
strength. or most of it. win be Seth
Low. Those who fought with George in
his brave and forceful struggle against
Plattism and Crokerism, win be likely to
accept his words OF the last few days as
dying adnonition. he told the people that,
they should vote for Mr.. Low, who, like
himself, stood as champion of honesty
and decency against the corruption and
crime of the machine system under its
present bosses. We should fancy that the
effect OF this parting message would be to
carry large proportion of the George vote
to the Citizens Union candidate. The JEFF
fersOnian Democracy, as such, no longer
stand a chance OF winning now that their
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS mas 1dilen therefore, tnelT
adherents would be true TO their duty, as
good citizens, If they threw their power
TO the one representative of good govern
nient, who certainly can he elected If
majority OF those who would have voted
for George now vote for Seth Low.
1t is not to be believed that either Tam
many or Platt VIII derive any recruits
from the disaster. The men who cheered
Henry George to the echo when he de
nounced those characters as deserving OF
the penitentiary are not likely to find
their way into either OF their camps.
The situation is greatly simplified by the
sad event o: Mr.. Georges death Today
there is no battle in New York except
one between the forces OF Seth Low ana
the Croker-Platt combine. The deal under
lying this syndicate organization is not
any longer even denied by machine Repub-
licans- Croker is to have the city, If the
Federal ana State officehoders, patronage
and money can help him to it, and Platt
is to have control of the legislature, if
Tammany can secure it to him.

CABINET STRUCK A SNAG.
The Spanish Note Was Too Much of
n Skeleton,

u SktltIOHs
The Cabinet struck snag yesterday
when It began to consider the note OF
Spain to America in reply to Minister
Woodford's alleged demands for speedy
action on, an prompt answer to, his 1nqui-
ries as to friendly offices and termina-
ton of the Cuban war. What was going
to happen must, however, have been
known to the President yesterday, and,
In fact, ever since the note was turned
over to him.
The President presented to the Cabinet
all members being present except the Serre-
taryof War and the Secretary ofthe Navy =
the celebrated note. He explained that the
document was only an abstract containing
only about one-fifth of the language OF
the original, 1t, as is usual in such cases,
was pIepared by the American minister,
who has mailed the rest OF the Corpus deficit.
After Some consultation it was decided
that the abstract was too skeeton-like
for q judgment by statesmen and further
consideration was postponed until the
President gets back from his voting pre-
cinct Ia the mean while the opinion
has been published far and wide that the
Administration rega rds the note as n

In stating that Bryanism was dead in
Ohio, Senator Hanna probably said what
he wished, Father than what he really
believed. Mr.. b. van has come to the State

the stump against Mr.. Bryan. Now the
