The following is the thanksgiving
proclamation issued by President Me-
Kinley:
"The approaching November brings
to mind the custom Of our ancestors. hail
lowed by time and rooted in our most sa-
cred traditions, Of giving thanks TO Al
mighty God for all the blessings he has
vouchsafed to us during the past year.
Few years in our history have afford
ed such cause for thanksgiving. We
have been blessed by abundant harvests,
our trade and commerce have been
wonderfully increased, our public credit
has been improved and strengthened.
all sections Of our common country have
been brought together and knitted into
closer bonds OF national purpose aud
unity.
The skies have been for a time dark
ened by the cloud Of war; but, as We were
compelled to take up the sword in the
cause OF humanity, we are permitted to
rejoice that the conflict has been OF brief
duration and the losses we have had TO
mourn. though grievous and important.
have been 50 few, considering the great
results accomplished, rs to inspire us
with gratitude aud praise 10 the Lord OF
Hosts. We may laud aud magnify His
holy name that the cessation of hostill'
ties came So soon as To spare both sides
the countless sorrows and disasters that
attend protracted war.
Il do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, as well those at home as those
who may be at sea or sojOurning in for
eign lands, TO set apart and observe
Thursday, November -. rs a day of ma
tional thanksgiving, TO come together Ia
their several places OF worship for u
service OF praise aud thanks To Almighty
God for all the blessings of the year, for
the mildnesS Of the season and the fruit
fulness OF the soil. for the continued
prosperity OF the people, for the devo-
ton aud 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 us
heretofore to safety and honor may bc
graciously continued in the year To
come

81 was one of those who signed the
remonstrance against re-opening the
saloons in our town. The names of
one-half of this jury can be found to-
day on the petition certifying to the
good moral character of the rum sellers,
and falsely saying that the sale of
liquor was necessary in our town.
The prosecuting attorney in this case
was the one that so eloquently pleaded
with this court for the licenses, and
the Judge who sits on this bench and
who asked me if I had anything to say
before sentence of death was passed on
me, granted the license.
The impassioned words Of the priS-
oner fell like Goals of fire upon the
hearts of those present, and many OF
the spectators and some of the lawyers
were moved TO tears. The Judge made
motion as if to stop any further
speech on the part of the prisoner,
when the speaker hastily said:
"No No Your honor, do not close

duct me to the place of execution and
hasten my soul into eternity. | shall

that these words of mine are not the
rawlings of an unsound mind, but God

of this nation is responsible for nearly
all the murders, bloodsheds, riots, pow

It breaks up thousands Of happy
homes every year (; sends the husband
