THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

5 Il geE# a.8 I H
1t has pleased Almighty God to
bring Our Nation in safety and
honor through another year. The
works of religion and charity have
everywhere been manifest. Our
country, through all its extent, has
been blessed with abundant har-
vests. Labor and the great indus
tries of the people have prospered
beyond all precedent. Our COM
merce has spread over the world.
Our power and influence in the
cause Of freedom and enlighten-
ment have extended over distant
seas and lands. The lives of our
official representatives and many of
our people in China have been mar
velously preserved. We have been
generally exempt from pestilence
and other great calamities; and
even the3Iragic visitation which
overwhelmed the city of. Galveston
made evident the sentiments of
sympathy and Christian charity by
virtue of which we are one united
people.
Now, therefore, I, William Nc
Kinley, President of the United
States, do hereby. appoint and set
apart Thursday, the 2oth of No
vember next, to be observed by all
the people of the United States, at
home or abroad, as day ofthanks-
giving and praise to Him who
holds the nations in the hollow of
His hand. I recommend that they
gather in their several places OF
worship and devout1y give Him
thanks for the prosperity where
with he has endowed us for seed
time and harvest, for the valor, de-
votion and humanity of our armies
and navies, and for all his benefits
to us as individuals and as a nation
and that they humbly pray for the
continuance of His Divine favor,
for concord and amity with Other
nations, and for righteousness and
peace in all Our ways.
In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af'
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this 29th day of October, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred, and of the independence
Of the United States the one hun
dred and twenty-ffth.

PLACE IN. FAME'S TEMPLE.

3 The ability to conquer difficult
ties and the determination to over
come what seems hereditary mis-
fortune have been thecharacteristics
of the world s heroes, Ofthet thirty
one Americans elected to places in
the Temple of Fame but few enjoy-
ed in the formative period of their
careers the. ordinary opportunities
afforded to the youth of Idaho and
other young States in their free un-
iversities, agricultural and mechani-
ical departments, normal schools
and public schools. The biograph-
les of the men who established this
republic maintained it's integrity
and shed lustre ON the American
name are but the history of battle
with adversely of men ofunconquer-
able will and indomitab1e energy;
not men whona' advantages made
/ great, bnt the lack of them. Wash
ington, who was not oily an ex-
ample for the emulationof his coun-
trymen, but boon to the human
race; Lincoln, the great leader wL6
saved and perpetuated. the Union
and died as the first flush of su-
preme success began to illumine his
martyred head; Webster, the inva1-
id in body and colossus in intellect
uality; Franklin the philosopher
and statesman: Grant, the great
captain; Marshall, thejurist; Jeffer-
son, author of the Declaration of
Independence, that magma charta of

est,state paper ever written, and so
on through the list of tue immortal
lied thirty-one, the greatest and the
best have had to undergo heroic
and persistent struggles to climb
the obstacles and escape the impede
ments to human excellence.
And still the. world knows but
few of itsheroes. The commander
of marching thousands does not al
r ways possess greater courage than
the private in the ranks. Gold lace
and guady trappings and even a
niche in the Temple of Fame may
not constitute the highest heroism
or commemorate the most arduous
devotion to duty; some of the plain
i soldiers in the battle of life have
fought with as much valor and en-
dured with as much trepidity as he

case to-day was the appearance of Miss
Horlocker on the stand. She was greatly
affected, and when she left the stand she
tainted She told of the love passages be-
tween Morey and herself, saying that they
frequently remained together In the law Of
flee after the others had left that Morey
called on her at the Blue river resort three
times, and that at one time, when Mrs.
Morey was away from home, she. at Mo-

room. She protested, however, that there
were at no time any immoral relations be-
containing Morey's picture and a lock of
heart. At times Miss Horlocker found il

Dispositions of insanity experts were also

that the defendant was insane when she

article Oh the sitIation in the islands as

LAS far as possible, I believe that we
should establish civil government in the
Philippines. 1 in favor of territorial
government and see nothing incongruous
in making these various islands into terri
tories. The group should be divided into
three or four territories, not only because
of the extent of the islands, but because of
the antagonisms existing between the diff
ferent peoples. Some of these tribes have
been our devoted friends, and it would
be most unfair not to give them the right
OF self-government. Many Of them are al
ready fit for self-government in local at

The movement which has been started
under so favorable auspices to collect and
preserve the history of Indiana for CEN
fury is most commendable. If methodical
steps are not taken to collect and preserve
the records of the acts which constitute
history they will be lost. Indiana may be
said to be one of the miracles of the nine
teenth century What it is to-day is the
result of century's effort. In regard to
the part the State took in the civil war
much that is creditable will be lost If not
collected at the present time. 1t is for
tunate that so much interest is taken in
the history of Indiana by its colleges and
teachers in other schools, and that in the
Indianian, the magazine published by the
company of that name, the commendable
work has been so auspiciously begun.

the Democratic opulistic party this year.
Mr.. Croker, Mr.. German, the Sun and other
workers and hoperS for Democratic har-
mony, have been patting Mr.. Bryan on the
back and telling him he really ought to be
good boy and drop his observation-disclosures
to-one-or-" bust" theories. But Mr.. Bryan
is smart enough TO know that if he drops
silver he has nothing left as an issue.
Therefore. he insists upon making silver an
issue, and in Juggling in all the other COM
munistic planks Of the Chicago platform.
The Democratic thermometers are Disguised.
We are simply delighted We have feared
that Mr.. Bryan might be induced TO aban-
don his cheap money idiosyncrasies and
that some sound money Democrats might
be persuaded to give Mr.. Bryan their sup
port. There Is only one thing for the Demo-
cratic party to do-abandon Mr.. Bryan,
cut loose from the Populists and denounce
all of the iniquities of the Chicago plat
form. Until they do this they do not de-
serve to succeed. and will not succeed.
Referring further to the Nebraska plat
form. the phrase 1--WE oppose government
by injunction, which," the writer declares
means opposition to reference to the
courts and reliance upon the courts for
protection. and is about as pernicious a
sentiment as could be enunciated and I'M
worthy of any other source save Popu-
Bryan-Nebraska platform in regard to the
gold standard. the comment of these Demo-
cratic business men is: There you are:
just let the Democrats put this in their
platform this year. and Mr.. Mckinley will

AN UNNECESSARY FALsEHooD.

The statement which has been made
in Washington that the Journal has in any
manner changed its attitude toward the
Porto Rican tariff bill is false. and those
who made such a statement knew IL
was false when they made it. Those who
have read the Journal from day to day at
home know that there has been no change
In its attitude concerning that measure.
The Journal believes that the President
was right when he declared i'm his message
in December that it was our plain duty
to give the Porto Ricans free trade with
the United States. At that time the Journal
approved the free-trade policy between it's
recently acquired island and the United
States because it seemed to be the right
thing to do, and ii has yet to see the first
opinion, although all that has been said on
the other side has been considered. Even
the President affirms that he has not
changed his original opinion. but would
compromise to insure harmony in the
party in Congress. The Journal cannot see
this phase Of the question in that light.
since it believes that it is better that Con-
sress should put itself i'm harmony with
the conservative and thoughtful element
outside of that body. If the great body of
the intelligent Republicans in Indiana IA
vored the House tariff bill the Journal
would suspect that 1t is not in touch with
those with whom 1t has always been in &C
cord on public measures but 1t is found
that the great body of the party-men
whose judgment has Weights in full &C
cord with the Journal
will come to understand that it is better to
accept the general Republican opinion in
the Northwest as expressed by its papers
than to pass bill which violates the prom
Use made by General Miles to the Porto
Ricans and establishes the hateful theory
that one portion of the people who are
under the sovereignty of the United States
shall receive different treatment i'm our
tariff laws from that which is established
for the rest of the country. Here it may
be added that, whatever may he the ac-
ton of Congress. the Journal will hold the
views it has expressed because it believes
them to be right

Major kirkman, u. s. ".
NEW YORK, March 2s.-The Times says:
I'm a letter written by an army officer in
Manila to his parents in Brooklyn. he says
that Major Kirkman, United States Volun-
teers. captain of regulars, has been court
martialed for an alleged insult to Arch
bishop Chappelle. papal delegate to the
Philippines. during "a voyage from San
Francisco to Manila. The letter says En-
route to Manila Archbishop Chappelle was
insulted by Major Kirkman, who was in
command Of the transport The major hung
his blanket to be aired so that it covered
the window of the archbishops stateroom.
Archbishop Chappelle sent his clerical as
sistant to the major to complain that he
was unable to air his stateroom- Major
kirkman replied that he did not care
whether the stateroom was aired or not
The archbishop endured the insult through
out the trip. When the transport arrived
i'm Manila bay, General Otis sent his staff
officer out to meet 1t in a launch. The off,
Ger went on board and invited the arch
bishop to proceed by launch to the city.
This precedence astounded Kirkman, who
had not been aware that the duties of the
archbishop were official. When Archbishop
Chappelle was leaving the transport he
was asked by several officers If he would
report the insult. He replied: 'Yes; not
that it will benefit me, but 1T will prevent
like insult TO those coming after me-"
Major Kirkman is now being court
martialed for the insult. The charge is
conduct unbecoming an officer" If con-
victed he will be dismissed from the
army

Furthermore, If no ships could be found to

it would not pay. Once we could not build
ships to compete with Europe. but now that
we are building warships for foreigners it
Is fair to assume that our builders can
