SERIOUS 0HARaEs"ARE REPORTED

Thereupon Begins the Re publican strug-

According to Washington advices
the postoffice department has de-
cided that sufficient cause is con-
tanned in ''serious charges" flied
sgainst Postmaster NJ. j. MeEairy,
OF Moline, to warrant his removal, and
Congressman Prince has been adj
vised to recommend a successor.
Mr.. McEniry has as yet received no
official notification of his contem-
plated dismissal, nor has he, he says,
had even an intimation of he nature
OF the charges flied against him. He
states, however, that if thev are
purely OF political nature. he bows

that be. but he d esn't propose to
submit without protest to imputa.
tions as broad as those contained in
the Washington dispatch, no matter
whether he is removed or not. II
serious fault has been found with his
official acts, he believes he has a
right TO know what it is, the nature
OF the charge and the name OF tho
person preferring it, not with a view
or hope OF retaining the off SO. but
that he may have opportunity to de-
fend his personal character.
A mum Der of Moline business men
were Interviewed this morning with
reference to tho reported purpose OF
the department to remove Postmas-
ter McEniry on the strength of .'ser-
ious charges, aud there was much
surprise expressed at the informa-
ton. for the general opinion was
that he had made model postmas-
ter, and had conduc ed the off &c in a
business-.ike and satisfactory man

THANKSGIVING DAY.
Proclamation By the Governor of
 Arizona.

Another seed time and harvest have brought Do the husbandman their golden reward for his labor, and an- other year of peace has given to the merchant and tradesman revival of trade and a more confident hope for the future. Another year of health and prosperity has enabled all classes and professions to pursue their daily avocations with a cheering measure of success, and afforded all good ciIti- Eens of the territory abundant cause for gratitude to the Giver of all good.
 Now, therefore, mindful of a time hOnOred custom, and in compliance with a recent proclamation of the president of the United States, ap- pointing a day of national thanksgiv- ing, I, Myron H. McCord, governor of the territory of Arizona, do hereby appoint Thursday, the 25th day of No vember, A. D., 1897, as a day of thanks giving and praise, and l recommend to all the people of the territory, that, laying aside the ordinary cares and pursuits of life, they on that day re pair to their usual places of worship, and in solemn assembly return thanks to Almighty God for His goodenss and lowing kindness to us as a people, and humbly s1lpplfcate Him for 8 con- tdnuance of His divine favor, to the end that civil and religious liberty, moral and material prosperity, en- frightened and free government may be vouchsafed to us for ever

In his response to the toast, Knight hood" at the banquet of the Knights of Pythias, given last Friday night in honor of Judge Street, Sir Knight c. M. Frazier said:
 "The knights of old were of noble birth. No one could be knighted un- less he was descended from the ne- from the king. Knighthood in ou1 order has an entirely different mean ing. The knightly qualities of a man should recommend him to this fra ternity.
 My brothers, do you know that be- ing knighted in this order does not make you a knight? That you may be a member of this order for a life time and be no more knight than though you had never entered is sacred castle? Secrets of knighthocd the badges you wear-the grips and signs you give do not make you a knight. It is your moral and physi- cal courage, your honesty, your char ity that make you a knight It is the inward qualifications and not the out ward that should recommend you to this noble order. And here let me coution you-guard we'll the door that leads to your castle hall. Do not let unworthy feet enter Our order is judged by the men who belong to 1t for bad men will drag it down into disrepute. None but the good, the noble and the true should be allowed entrance here. Knights of a brother hood of this kind go out into the world as beacon lights and the world is compelled to admire them.
 SOu the coast of France the lights are so arranged that the Night falls from them in such a manner that the rays cross each other and thus form a chain of light all along the shore, SC that sailors voyaging om Ehe sea and toward the shore may never be lost in darkness. Be this our mission my brothers, as sentinels of light. SC that voyagers on the sea of time shall not by fault of ours strike the dark ness, but be always in tjhe light. Some one has said that our honored guest Knight Street, was placed on the high. est round of political fame in this ter r1tory. The expression, paced or the highest round is incorrect; he 1la: climbed up by constant toil, unceas. ing labor, to the position to which he was eminemtly fitted, and the presi- dent knighted him in the proper gart by placing upon his worthy shoulders the ermine of chief justice. These high offices are not thrust upon any man.
 Heaven Is not gained at single
 bound.
 We build the ladder on which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted
 skies,
 And we mount to its summit round
 by rOund.'
