General News


|. Election troubles in North Caro-
lima have resulted in proclamation
by Gov. Russell calling on all citi-
zeas to permit the free exercise OF
the suffrage and abstain from vio-
lence.
The war investigation tends TO
show no lack Of supplies, but an ex-
cessiye amount of red tape to get
them.
The great storm at Chicago re-
suited in much damage along tie
lake front. The loss is estimated at
s81. 500.
1t is reported that Gen. Blanco
will not wait to see the American
flag unfurled over Cuba, but will
leave some Tina this month. Jan. l
has been set for the Gnal date OF
evacuation.
The New York campaign is being
fought bitterly and the result appears
doubtful. Twenty-six senators are
to be chosen by state legislatures
elected, and there are eubernatorial
contests in Is states. The result OF
the elections this talfamay determine
the settlement Of The silver question,
and the foreign policy Of the gov.
eminent, to say nothing of the effect
on the national policy in 1900.

Surely, you are no mans servant,
without your self abasement. Hon.
estly, your manhood is not purchas.
able for few cents. Morally, your
self respect cannot be dirtied and
stained by the temptation of glass
of grog, followed by a bed in the
gutter. intellectually, you are
scarcely subject for hypnotism OF
questioned as to lunacy. If correct
in these essentials, you mean to do
right, and enforce the right by your
voice and vote. That is what good
people endorse, and that is why they
endorse the Mckinley administra-
ton, and why they may discriminate
between a congressional cross road
fiddler and White House states
man. But, just now you have q
very important duty to perform. 1t
is hard, sometimes, to work with

There are, also plenty of good, hon

President Mckinley Designates NOV. "a
as the day for National Thanksgiving.

Washington, Oct. 29.--The Presi-
dent Yesterday issued the following
Thanksgiving proclamation:
"The approaching November
brings to mind the custom of our an
eestor, hallowed by time and rooted in
our most sacred tradition, of giving
thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings he has youchsafed TO US
during the past year.
Few years in cur history have
afforded such cause for thanksgiving
as this. We have been blessed with
abundant haryes.s, our trade and
commerce have been wonderfully
increased, our public credit has been
improved and strengthened, all Sec
tions OF our common country have
been brought together and knitted
into closer bonds of national purpose
and unity.
"The skies have been for time
darkened by the cloud of war, but
as we we're compelled to take up the
sword in cause of humanity, we are
permitted to rejoice that the conflict
has been of brief duration, and the
losses we nave had to mourn, though
grievous and important, have been
90 few, considering the great results
accomplished, as to inspire us with
gratitude and praise the Lord of
Hosts. We may laud and magni-
fy His Holy name that the cessation
of hostilities came so soon as to spare
both sides the countless sorrows
and disasters that attend protracted
war.
II do, therefore, invite all my fell
low citizens, as well those at home as
those who may be at sea or soiourn-
ing in foreign lands, to set apart
any observe Thursday, the oath day
of November, as day of national
thanksgiving, to como together in
their several places of worship for
service of praise and thanks to
Almighty God for all the blessings
of the year, for the mildness of the
seasons and the fruitfulness of the
soil, for the continued prosperity of
the people. for the devotion and
valor of the countrymen for the
glory of cur victory and the hope
of a righteous peace, and to pray
that the divine guidance which has
brought us hereforeto to safety and
honor may be graciously continued
in the years to come.
