A PROCLAMATION.

A PROCLAMATION.
The season is a;gh#hen, according
to the tims-halloWed custom of our
people, the president appoints day as
the especial OCCASION for praise and
thanksgiving to God.
This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
of great and good president. We
mourn President Mckinley because we
80 loved and honored him, and the
manner of his death should awaken in
the breast of our people keen ankle
to for the country, and at the same
time resolute purpose not to be driV-
en- by any calamity from the pntb OF
.tong, orderly, popular liberty which,
ss a nation, we have thus far safely
trod.
Yet, in spite of this great disaster,
it is nevertheless true that no people
on earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular has been one OF
peace and plenty. We have prospered
in things material and have beee able
towork for our own uplifting in things
intellectual and spiritual. Let US re-
member that, as much as has been Civ
en- US, much will be expected Of us,and
that true homage comes from the heart
as well as from the lips and shows it
self in deeds. We can best prove our
thanksgiving t. the Almighty by the
way in which on this earth and at this
time each of us does his duty to his
fellow men.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
yelt, president of the United States,do
hereby designate IS day of general
Thanksgiving, Thursday, the 2sth of
this present November, and do recon-
mend that throughout the land the
people cease from their wonted occu-
pations and at their several homes and
places of worship,reverently thank the
Giver of ali Good, for the countless
blessings of our national life.
In witness whereof, I have herennto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
seal of the Uni led States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this,
I'd day of November, il the year of our
Lord one thousand pine hundred and
one, and of the independence of the
United States one hundred and twen-
ty-sixth.

OLD CASE AGAIN DECIDED.
Bonds For Private Purposes Not
Made Valid by Legislation.
SUCH BONDS DECLARED VOID

st. Louis, April 15.-"A legislature
cannot make private purpose pub:
lie purpose by its mere fat is one of
the main points in an opinion handed
down by the United States court of
appeals. The case was that of W. s:
Dodge against the township of Mission,
Shawnee county, Kans., appealed from
the United States district court of
Kansas by Dodge. The action was
brought by him on coupons cut from
township bonds issued under an act of
the Kansas legislature to encourage
the erection of mills and the manafac-
ture of sugar and syrup of sorghum
cane, an authorizing townships and
cities of the second and third class to
subscribe for stock in such sugar fac
tories and to vote bonds for this pur
pose. Under the act, every company
receiving the benefit of the bonds was
purchase price of every ton of cane,
aid pay it over to the treasurer CT the
township, to be applied in the payment
of these bonds. The act declared that
all mills receiving such aid were public
mills and should manufacture the
sugar or syrup for customers who
furnished cane. and that they might
charge a toll for this manufacture:
Under this act the township of Mission
issued thirty bonds at $500 each ON
September 1G, 1890 OF these, Dodge
bought twenty-five, and payment was
refused on the coupons. He brought
suit, and to his allegations demurrer
was filed and sustained, that they
were insufficient in law to uphold his
case.
The appellate court affirmed this
decision; and in the opinion, said:
The promotion of the construction
and operation of mills and factories to
manufacture sorghum cane into sugar
and SYRUP is private and not public
purpose. The power of a legislature
to levy or authorize the levy of ajax
and to create and authorize the erea;
ton of public debt to be paid by
taxation is limited to its exercise for d
public purpose.
Township bonds issued for this
purpose, and the act of March /, 1889,
authorizing their issue. are beyond the
power of the legislature and the town.

Judge Bragg and other distinguished
jurists and economists. His death will
