THANKSGIVING DAY.
The following is the text of the annual
Thanksgiving Proclamation , which was is
sued by the president on Atomlay , Xov. 1st :
"It has long been the custom of the peo
ple of the United States , on a day in each
year especially set apait for that purpose by
their chief executive , to acknowledge the
$ * ' - - goodness and mercy of God , and to invoke
His continued care and protection. In ob
servance of such'custom , I , Grover Cleve
land , president to. the United States , do here
by designate and set apart Thursday , the
2oth day of November , instant to be observ
ed and kept as a day of thanksgiving and
, praytuOn that day let all our people fore
go their accustomed employments and as
semble Jn their usual places o worship * to
give thanks to the liuler of the Universe foi ;
our continued enjoyments of the blessings
of a free government , for a renewal of busi-
iicss prosperity-throughout pur land , for the
return which has rewarded the labor of those
who til { the soil , and for our progress as a
people in all that makes a nation gieat ; and
while we contemplate the infinite power of
G.od in earthquakes , flood and storm , let the
grateful hearts of tho'-e who have been
.shielded from harm through His mercy be
turned in sympathy and kindness toward
those who have suffered through His visita
tion. Let us also , in the midst of our thanks
giving , lemember the poor ami. needy wit !
cheerful gilts and uttermost deeds of charitj
f-o that our hervice may be made acceptabl
in the sight of the Lord.
' In witness whereof , I have hereunto se
my hand and cause the seal of the Unite
States to be affixed.
"Done at the City of Washington , this If
day of November , in the year .of our Lord
onethousand eight hundred anil eighty-six
ami of the independence Of the United State
of America * > .c one hundred and eleventh.
GliOVKK
"By the president , T. F.
'Secretary ot State.
"HORIZONTAL BrwMORRISON wa
lost in the shuffle.
THE labor and temperance question
will , continue to agitate the land un
, til solved justly and equitably.
AN election full of "surprises'7 wa
ik that of last week. The omens for 'SS
* arc most favorable and encouraging.
THE editors of the Valley convene a
Orleans , to-morrow. In our inability
" 'to participateTiiE TRIBUNE send
greetings.
THEY have been having a jolh
Hughes time up in old Hayes county ,
e , but when the returns canie in it was as
certaincd that the sly old Coon ( s ) hat
carried the day for Commissioner.
THE fact that Henry George , the la
bor candidate for mayor of New Fork
City , received 68,000 votes is a most
portentous one. Such a following can
not fail of accomplishing much good
nor of being recognized.
FOR the first time in Nebraska
eventful history , she will be misrepre
sented in the next House of Represen
tatives by a bourbon , "Honest John'
McShane , more easily and readily rec
ognised under the name and style of
"Boodle John , " probably.
Now that the election is over , the
active Bee goeth forth in search
other game , and"railroads seem to be
its meat , this time , particularly the B.
& JM. Roscwater charges an assump
tion of political dictation , and so on ,
which in all probability are not with
out shadow of fact.
THE average Omahog , says Sam
Jones , who is now afflicting the people
of the metropolis with his pious slang
and vulgarity , would give more for a
back lot in that city than he'would for
a front street corner lot in heaven. Sam
must remember that there are none but
corner lots up there.
ELSEWHERE , perhaps , we may have
briefly alluded to the uncomfortable ten
dency of the weather , last Tuesday , for
prominent free-traders , in various sec
tions of the country : It may be noted
that among these whose constituency
thought proper and best for them to re
main at home were Morrison and Hurd ,
while speaker Carlisle and Mr. Spring
er were elected by the scantiest majori
ties.
THE Omaha World has the following
word concerning Secretary-elect , G. L.
Laws :
Gilbert L. Laws , newly elected secretary
of state , is a man of about fifty yea.it , , very
affable and possessed of many friends. lie
came to Nebraska from Wisconsin , was in
the Union army and wears a wooden leg as
rememberance. He lived at Orleans for > ev-
eral years , until appointed icgister of tho
newly created land office at McCook , where
he remained until .succeeded. He is a very
popular man.
THE labor party made an unexpected
showing of strength , last Tuesday. The
signs of the times are most favorable
to the improvement of the condition of
the laboring classes , in the near future ,
" by equitable and just legislation in their
behalf. A few more such victories
will place the working men of this na
tion where they can successfully demand
reasonable consideration , to the end' '
thatthey may be fairly compensated
for their labors and nftt unduly dis
criminated against.
