BY THE GOVERNOR.

Custom and aw have ordained that the asst Thursday in Novem-
Der of each year be set aside a $ a day of Thanksgiving and prayer to
the Divine Ruler Of the universe. Ammo Domini eighteen hundred
and ninety-eight should be especially revered and remembered by our
people and u naton. While W were called upon to send N soldiers
down to war in ships and upon the high seas and upon foreign shores
and strange lands, no unforeseen disaster " calamity befeu them.
Even the ornaments were kind and generous in their treatment OF
our soldiers and sailors, and. wherever we engaged the enemy. u
Lord, the God of battles, seemed to be with us; while WI sunered
som loss perhaps unnecessarily. We a still with fervent hearts
thank God that a loss a n o greater m that peace a returned
to our land, where we hope 1t may continue unnterruptediy. A bcun-
tiul harvest amply assures u people OF all the necessaries Of life.
No malignant scourge has found Judgment in u country.
In consideration of these blessings, and in the hope that W e may
show u gratitude to the Divine Ruler. L. Robert B. Smith, governor
Of the state of Montana. do proclaim Thursday. the 24h day of No
vember. A. L. 1885. a public holiday. and 1 REQUEST that all persons in
the commonwealth lay aside all and singular their labors OF that day
and assemble in their respective places of worship and there onr up
devout prayers and thanks to the great God, who rules the detdnies
of men and nations, for the manifold blessings vouchsafed to our peo-
pie.
Done al Helena, Mont, this 18th day OF November, Ammo Domini

Nowadays. the proper programme Is to
sleep late in the morning. &c TO a hotel

and In anything but q thankful mood

in particular"
That sounds like the wall OF a dyspep-
tic. Comparatively few people have a
Thanksgiving day like that In the
rural districts Thanksgiving day Is just
what II always has been. In III cities
a great diversity Of amusements is
offered the public and people take their
choice. To stay cooped up at home all
day is a punishment not to be borne.
especially on a day when everybody Is
supposed to be enjoying himself. Some
people go to church. some to the foot
ball game. some to the theater. some
to a dancing party and some TO the
devil.
In the words OF the coon sons,
Thanksgiving is peculiarly a time when
you are all enjoined to enjoy your
selves" There are few things SO genu-
inely enjoyable as a family reunion
But IL a man hasn't any family reunion
on his programme. he can't do better
than take his wife to a Thanksgivins
dinner at a first-class hotel II will re-
move a big burden from her min and
be a favor to the 'ail-ruling servant

with Spain made Americans as a peo-
nile respect one another. 1t destroyed
cynicism. 1t inspired confidence. That
there Il such a thing as public spirit.
In the best sense, was denied. That
Americans would sacrifice their lives
Cor a cause was doubted. That there
was any vitalizing patriotism left in
the country was by many disbelieved.
Mercenarism was thought to be the
dominating passion of Americans. The
people OF this nation distrusted them
selves; still more were they distrusted
by the people OF other nations. 1t has
been said that the Spanish war was Tn
electric searchiight thrown on the hon
esty and patriotism OF Americans. IL
these qualities were obscure they are
revealed clear enough now; and 1t Is
this fact. rather than the defeat OF
spain. that is a special theme for
thanks on the Thanksgiving day OF

Why We Give Thanks.
BY THE PRESIDENT.

By the President of the United states-A proclamation for Thanks
giving:
As this approaching November brings to mind the custom 4 our
ancestors, haiIowed by time and rooted in nj most sacred traditions
OF giving thanks o Almighty God for all the bessinTs q " vouch-
safed to u . during the past year.
Few years IN u history have afforded such cause for thanksgfv-
ing. We have been blessed by abundant harvests. our trade and COM
MERGE have been wonderfully improved and strengthened. III sections
closer bonds of national purpose and unity.
The skies have been for q time darkened by the cloud OF war; NJ
a . W were compelled to take up the sword in the cause OF humanity,
we are permitted to rejoice that the conflict has been Of . brief dura-
ton. and the losses we have had to mourn, though gievous and i'm
portant. have been so few considering the great results accomplished.
a s to inspire u s with gratitude and praise to the Lord OF Hosts We
may iaud and magnify His holy name that the cessation OF hostfhttes
came 81 soon a s o spare both sides the countless sorrows and disas-
ters that attend protracted war.
I do. therefore. invite all my fellow citizens a s well those at home
o r those who may be at sea o sojourning in foreign lands. to set apart
and observe Thursday, the cath day of November. as Q day OF national
thanksgiving, Il come together in their several places Of worship. for q
service of praise and thanks to Almighty God for the blessings Of the
year. for the mndness Of the seasons and the fruitfulnes OF the coun-
try. for the continued prosperity Of the people. for the devotion and
valor OF our countrymen. for the glory of our victory and the hope
OF a righteous peace. and to pray that the divine guidance which has
brought u heretofore TO safety and honor may be graciousy continued
in the years to come. WILLIAM MkINLEf,

is a fear in some minds
that before many years Alaska

~HERE is a fear in some minds
that before many years Alaska
will be squeezed dry of all Its
wealth. They say the sea otter will be
destroyed. the fur seal herd extermi-
mated. the native tribes starved to
death, the salmon rivers depopulated,
h timber cut. and h placer gold
fields worked out. II is alleged that II
the exploiting OF the territory is main
tained at the present rate. its
win In no long time be exhausted and
abandonment will be the only possible
result. Those who uphold the present
Alaskan regime urge that IL will be a
very costly thing TO foster all Alaska's
WSde-spread resources. and to give
rood government TO all her scattered
village sand posts. Furthermore, all
CHS outlay 10 repaid only by the en-
sediment of private corporations, who.
@ith h exception OF the fur seal les
sees, pay no tribute to the government.
On the other hand. q writer In the At
aanfic, who advocates good govern
ment instead OF the present h~aphazard
and ruinous system. argues that the
cost Of good government would be less
e We should treat other resources as
re have treated the fur seal. To lease
the salmon river and TO protect the
aessees 4 their rights would be TO in
sure a steady and large income to the
government with greater profit to the
salmon canneries than comes with the
present confusion and Industrial war.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-The treas
ury department to-day issued thefollow-
ing statement authorizing the assign
ment Of the new bonds:
In order to save vexatious embarrass-
meut to larger subscribers to the war
loan meaning by this, sabscrib-
ers for more than s5OO-the department
has arranged to recognize transfers Of
notices Of ailotments" 50 that the per-
sons receiving notice. of the amount al
lotea to them, will be in position to real
ize on them in case Of necessity; sub
stantially as readily as II they were in
possession Of the bonds. allotted to them.
This has seemed to be the duty OF the
treasury department, In view OF the un-
avoidable delay In placing the bonds In
the hands Of the large subscribers The
energies Of the department are now de
rected to shipping bonds to small sub
scrIbers, under the general theory OF
the lawthat the small subscribers should
receive the flr8t consideration.
