The following is the text of the aniuuv
Thanksgiving Proclamation , which was is
sued by the president on Monday , Xov. 1st
"It lias long been the custom of the peo
pie of the "United States , on a day in eacl
year especially set apart for that purpose bj
their chief executive , to acknowledge tin
Siodness and mercy of God , and to invoke
is continneel care and protection. In ob

by designate tinel set apart Thursday , the
25th day of November , instant , to be observ

prayer. On that day let all our people fore
go their accustomed employments and as

onr continued enjoyments of the blessing ;
of a free government , for si renewal of busi

God in earthquakes , Hood and storm , let tin
grateful hearts of those who have beer

cheerful gifts and uttermost deeds of chaiitj
M ) that pur .service may be made acceptable

"In witness whereof , i have hereunto sel

THE Republican Yalley renienibpred
Secretary of State , G. L. Laws , hand

THE democrats retain their hold on
Xew York City "boodle" by the elec
tion of Hewitt to the mayoralty.
THE latest advices state that Rose
water has been defeated for float sena
tor in the Omaha district , by Camp
bell , democrat.
THE Courier sprung its u ual supple
ment , the day before the election , with
its customary tissue of misrepresenta
tions and falsehoods. Bravissimo !
THE democrats have made their usual
large ( ? ) gains throughout the country.
They are the kind of gains that the re
publicans can stand ever } day in the
week.
THE semi-annual meeting of the ed
itors and newspaper men of the Repub
lican Yalley and tributary country , will
be held on Friday , November 12th ,

THOUSANDS of business men and
workingmen refused to vote at all yes
terday. And to this complexion has
the political pollution , perfidy and gen
eral demoralization of Omaha come at
last. Omaha Herald.
THE eight hour disturbance has bro
ken out afresh in Chicago , and tw6
packing houses , employing three thous
and hands , have closed down. This
time it is not Armour who pays the fid
dler , but a general strike is threatened
unless fifty cents a day is added to the
pay of the hands for the extra two
hours required to make up the ten.
VAN WYCK refused to endorse Jlowe
in Omaha. He said that he had done
it in his own county and that was enough.
In his own count-it became pretty nec
essary to endorse Howe to save his own
bacon , even after he had given it out
repeatedly that Otoe's delegation to
Beatrice had acted against his express
orders in supporting Howe for the
nomination. Journal.
As YAK WYCIC calmly surveys the
election returns he will find very minute
crumbs of comfort therein contained.
Some how the people don't enthuse
over the "old man. " His vote falls
far short of the ratification , by the pop
ular will , that he desired so earnestly
and for which he labored so persistent
ly. His chances in the senatorial race ,
this winter , cannot be said to have been
improved a particle by Tuesday's ver
dict.
THE result in the"Big First" con
gressional district is not altogether un
expected to many republicans , and
goes to establish two primary facts ,
among others , namely , the stupid im
becility of the party leaders in foisting
Church Howe upon the republicans of
the district , on the one hand ; and the
effects of an outraged feeling of indig
nation by the people , at this action of
the party leaders , who are alone re
sponsible for the unfortunajte result ,
on the other hand. Church Howe was
the straw that broke the camel's back
of party fealty and allegiance. While
the defeat of Howe is a misfortune to
the party , it will not be utterly devoid
of salutary effect upon the party lead
ers , who , in the case under considera
tion , have purchased experience at the
\ top of the market.

NEBRASKA'S MAJORITY , 20,000 !
Large Gains Everywhere.
Reports from all over the state are
most encouraging and indicate the elec
tion of the republican stale ticket by a
rousing , old-time majority of 20,000.
Laird is returned from the second con
gressional districtDor.sey from the third ,
but the returns from the "big first" dis
trict are chilly for Church Howe , and it
is altogether probable that JMcShane ,
democrat , is elected. While Lindsay ,
for state senator , afl ! the entire repub
lican county ticket are elected by fair
majorities. At this time we are not in
possession of sufficient" returns of an
official character to warrant us to pre
sent a tabular statement , which we hope
to give in our next issue. But else
where we give returns from 14 precincts ;
these figures will assist the reader to a
correct understanding of the situation
although the K turns from two precincts
are not found therein.

IN THE FIRST WARD.
There were two contestants for the
vacancy in the City Council made by the
resignation of W. W. Palmer , council
man for the first ward , namely. John F.
[ venyon and Andrew J. Pate. The vote
stood as follows :
JOHN F. KEN YON 10 ! )
ANDREW J. PATE 50
RUSSIA has sent armed vessels to
Yarna with orders to bombard the town
in case the landing of the troops is op
posed by the Bulgarians. The pretense
s that it is necessary to send soldiers
there for the protection of Russian citi
zens. The pretense is very thin , as no
Russians have been molested or are like-
y to be if they keep the peace them
selves. The powers have apparently
abandoned Bulgaria to her fate , England
lot being prepared for war. Germany
) cing afraid of France , and Austria not
laving pluck enough to go in alone.
A.S for Turkey she seems to have gone
aver to the Czar , bag and baggage.
Mr. Gladstone in Canvenatiaa.
[ New York World. ]
Mr. Gladstone , having given u t fci !
recent morning occupations of reading
the lessons in church and cutting down
a tree , is in splendid vigor on the old
stumping ground and is personally re
ceived with all the old enthusiasm ,
though Chamberlain's quick chariot
wheels are leaving his political doctrine- :
far behind. "While Radical opinions
ripen everywhere , frost-nipped Whig-
gery pines itself away * He is himself ,
however , admittedly in full fettle the
voice clear and resonant , the wonderful
face the same , strong , intense , full ol
force , but withal tender , delicately lined
and pensive.
We htu e two portraits of him , one at
o.l and one at 7 ; > , but no portrait gives
you an idea of it. Kb portrait can , for
it is a face in motion The late ilr.
Samuel Ward , who was a guest with
him at Dalmeny on his' first stumpinu
pilgrimage , and for whom Mr. Glacf
stone at once conceived that affection
ate liking which that genial and accom
plished American gentleman always
inspired , was never weary of dwelling
on that face. As he converses in pri
vate , he used to say , it speaks as elo
quently as his tongue. As he stood al
the end of the piauo , sipping his after-
dinner tea with us in the quaint olt
Scottish drawing-room of Ualmeny.
nothing but a series of instantaneous
photographs could have given the face
or rather score of Gladstonian faces of
the ten minutes of conversation.
The facial expression varies with
e. cry thought of this mauy-thoughtec
man. His thought was acted. Sur
prise , pleasure , interestdisdain , pity
called different features into play in his
Protean countenance. Eyes , nose ,
chin , all spoke not only so , but the
whole body , so that his conversation
was like a , solo with an orchestral ac
companiment. Hands , feet , the entire
man , , accompanied the Uuto-lie ! voice in
a conversation which was not epiSram-
matic but sometimes involved ; 1'owiiif
along at times like a level lowlam
stream , with many serpentine windings ,
yet always forcible and clear. When
his face is serious , the inner lights seem
momentarily put out. He seemed then
to apply a brake to the thought-train ,
antTevery feature was pulled up into a
portrait-like repose.
One of the aiNtalces of "Culture. "
[ Cor. Kilt sus City Time * . ]
I once knew intimately two violinists.
One had a wrist like a steel spring in
its strength and flexibility. His fingers
were supple and strong. He could not
produce a bad tone if he tried. He
played easily and almost without effort ,
and to mo his playing was the most ex
quisitely beautiful 1 remember to have
heard. Still he had not taken the
pains to study any particular school
systematically and "he was never al
lowed by professionals to possess any
merit. The other had a stift wrist and
clumsy lingers. He used his wrist , of
course , but his bowing in rapid pass
ages was never distinct and his execu
tion while exactly according to' Spohr
was more for the eye than the ear.
Yet he was the pet and pride of pro
fessionals and consequently of the
critics.
I have frequently sat through an
opera near professionals. 1 heard noth
ing about beauty , but much of how cer
tain tones were "placed" and "ejected , "
whether they came from the throat or
the roof of the mouth or the chest.
1'erhaps 1 am. not up to the tension of
culture required to understand art , but
I cannot adn'it that means are greater
than endsI can not forget that method
which does achieTve beauty is less ad
mirable than beauty without method.
The fault is not confined to musicians.
In painting , the drama , literature , re
ligion and decorative art we hear more
of schools than of essential beauty. All
criticism is pervaded by this mechanical
judgment. It strikes mo that we ought
to be more concerned with results than
with methods.
Uuscl-ntiflj Chemistry.
Many of the so-called applications of
chemical science to the arts were lirst
made by persons who were entirely
ignorant of science and who did not
know the meaning of the word chemis
try , five hundred years ago tanners
who did not know that a raw hide con
tained gelatine and were ignorant of the
fact that tannin would render it insolu
ble produced better leather than is made
"
anywhere in the "world to-day. The
stonemasons of the middle ages who did
not understand the union made by
silicious sand and quicklime made mor
tar that is stronger now than the rocks
it binds together. The ignorant Hindoos
on the banks of the Gauges and the wild
Arabs in eastern Asia made steel that is
worth its weight in gold.
Quite too much is claimed for science
as a promoter of the useful and decora
tive arts. It explains many processes ,
but it produces very few that are new.
Medical science , if indeed there is any
such science , is little more than a classi
fication of the remedial discoveries made
by empirics.
The Good Spiel or * Do.
IBcston Budget. ]
Dr. C. Keller , of Zurich , claims that
spiders perform an important part in the
preservation of forests by defending the
trees against the depreciations of
aphides and insects. He has examined
a great many spiders , boih in their
viscera and by feeding them in captiv
ity , and has found them to be voracious
destroyers of these pests ; and he be
lieves that the spiders in a particular
forest do more effective work of this
kind than all tho insect-eating birds
that inhabit it.
He has veri ed his views by observa
tions on coniferous trees , a few broad-
leaved trees and apple trees. An im
portant feature of the spiders' opera
tions is that they prefer dark spots , anil
therefore work most in the places which
vermin most infest , but whicli are likely
Lo be passed by other destroying agents.
White * of Alaska.

Thero are 1,900 white people in oouth-
eastern Alaska. Vegetation is abundant
and luxurious , the cattle sleek and fat ,
find the mining industry assuming
large proportions. Theso facts appear

A Ilnrdy Cotton Plant.
A man in Jeffersosville , Ind. , who
ias been experimenting with cotton for
several years , claims to have originated
i plant ; that can be suooessfially grown
lii the northern states.
AT the election , Tuesday , 318 con
gressmen were chosen , all the states
electing their delegations except Arizo
na , Vermont and Maine , which elected
theirs on the day of their state elections.
Legislatures were also chosen in part or
i entire in twenty states , which bodies will
elect United States senators to succeed
those whose terms expire March 4 , next.
These states are" California , Connecticut ,
Delaware , Florida. Indiana , Maryland ,
Massachusetts , Michigan , Minnesota ,

ACCORDINO to report. Lord Butler
will take Miss Stager , daughter of the
late Anson Stager , to Errglnrml as Lady
Butler , while ; James Russell Lowell
\ \ \ \ \ bring to the United States Dowa
gcr. Lady Lyttleton , to be thereafter
plain Mrs. Lowell. The American girl
gains a title and the already twice mar
ried English woman loses , one ; but it
may transpire that the latter has made
the better bargain.
Beggs' Cherry Cough Syrup
o
Will relieve that cough almost instantly
and make expectoration easy. Acts .simul
taneously on the bowels , kidneys ami liver ,
thereby relieving the lungs of that soreness
and pain and also stopping that tickling
sensation in the throat by removing the
cause. One trial of it will convince any one
that it has jiq equal on earth for coughs and
colds. McMillen & Weeks have secured the
sale of it and will guarantee every bottle to
give satisfaction.
