THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
By the Governor.

AS we approach the termination OF the
year. we should be devoutly conscious OF
the manifold blessings which it has 50
abundantly brought to our State and all
that dwell therein, with no grudging
hand. abundant harvests, successful
business activity and enterprise, unprec-
edented prosperity, happiness and prog
ress have signally marked and empha :
sized the benefits and enjoyments which
have crowned the rolling seasons of the
year. For these and many other tempo
raj blessings-for health and exemption
from all calamities and contagious dis
eases-for high religious and educational
privileges and advancement, and espec-
tally for the spirit of patriotism, self-sac :
rifice and devotion to the best interests Of
humanity, progress and good government
that has guided and determined our on
ward march as people among the ma
lions of the earth, we have, indeed,
abundant reasons for Thanksgiving and
for humbly and reverently recognizing
the goodness of 1.-THE Lord of Hosts, won

Governor of the State of Maine, conform :

The government is removing the con
fusion that has existed in regard to the

The Work Before Congress.

| for the work Of a session that promises
IA he long and notable one. AS the
| election of Mr. Henderson of Iowa to
! succeed Mr. Reed is assured. there VIII
be no long contest over the crSaniza-
tion of the House. and that body will
he able to get down to business with no
DELAY. There will be a good working
Republican majority in both branches.
and there will be no friction between
the PARTY leaders and the administra-
ton.
1t is doubtful if any Congress in the
history of the country ever had 50
many perpleXing problems to solve as
will he presented to the body when
meets next week After the civil war
the problem was Il knotty one, put
there was a single question involved
and Congress could give its entire at
tcntion to it. The weishtltst matters
to be considered are the disposition of
cuba. and the government of the
PHILIPPINES. Hawaii and Porto Rico.
These are matters too important to be
considered hastily, and upon which it
is likely there will be a wide divergence
of opinion and some long debates.
Moreover they are matters which one
session of Congress will not fully
straighten out
Then there is the financial issue which
is likely to be developed by Il deter

definitely upon a gold basis. The cleo
ton of 1896 pat the country safely on a

but there is Il strong and growing de-
mand for legislation explicitly declar-
ing this position. Such step would
arouse the silver fanatics. and their
activity would be the strongest proof
Of the need Of definite. special legisla-
ton on the subject. 1t is not likely
that there will be any tariff tinkerins.
The Dingley tariff is satisfactory and is
are made they will be very unim-
portant ones.
Other matters sure to come up for the
consideration of Congress, all too i'm
portant to allow postponement, are the
Nicaraguan canal. the Pacific cable.
and the admission of the territories as
eta h,n Il. ha If
Roberts Of Utah which is demanded by
both the dignity and the decency of
Congress. The insult offered by Nor
monism in the election of such Il man
must be rebuked. and this is one of the
first duties to be attended To after the
opening Of the session. 1t is possible
that the establishment Of a new cabinet
department. that Of commerce ana in
dustries will be considered, and there
will be the usual grist of matters great
and small pouring into the hopper for
the attention of the lawmakers. The
message of President Mckinley is
eagerly awaited as its trca tment of the
great matters to come before Congress
will be the index of the coming legiSla-
ton. The country will watch Wash

American people are wide awake to the
situation and they 90 not forget that
the lawmakers are their servants, not
their masters. The country trusts the
