designate and set apart Thursday, the
Btith day of the present month of No

Creator for the many blessings so
graciously bestowed upon the people of
our commonwealth.
It is lilting and proper that we
should as a people render unto Him
linmble thunks und sincere gratitude
for the muny evidences of divine favor
which we arc permitted to enjoy.
The labor* of all our clti/.cns for the
year now drawing to a close in the va
rious branches of industry have not
been without recompense. Bountiful
crops have rewarded the toil of the
husf.atidiiien. I'cacc und tranquility
prevail. The spirit of progress and ad
vancement to a higher and better eivi
Ii7.iinon exists among our people.
Let us, therefore, on tins day ab
stain from secular employment of ail
kinds nnd assemble together in our
accustomed places of worship and
around the family altar and render un
to God praise and thanksgiving for
these many evidences of His kindness
and humbly petition to the throne of
grace for a continuation of the favors
of Divine Providence unto us as a peo
ple, and as a great commonwealth and
as a nation.
Let us also remember the needy poor,
the sick and the distressed not alone in
our supplications but by deeds of char
ity and substantial gifts of those things
which will alleviate suffering and dis
tress, for “inasmuch,” says the Lord,
“as ye have done it unto one of the
least of these, my brethren, ye have
done it unto Me."
In witness whereof [ have hereunto
set my bund and caused to be affixed
the great seal of the state of Nebraska.

I MU'.too, Nov, 23 The Hallway Age
publishes a summary of reports re

try regarding the effect on business up
to date of Mr. McKinley'* election.
These show that though the railroad
business has not picked up at all, but
in purtsof tiie West and Mouth west has
been evidently distinctly worst; since
(‘lection than it was before, the ruilway
companies us a whole have very ma
terially increased their expenditure*,
especially in increases of shop forces
and a very general tendency to pur
chase more freely. The last fact is
shown more conclusively by the re
port* from manufacturers than from
the reports of the companies them
selves.
A number of companies report, that
they hud all plans made for a reduc
tion in forces in case the election hud
gone the other way. The railway

forces and expenses at a point in excess
of what existing business would justi

meet any increase of demands that

further expenditures.
The expectation of a revival in the
near future is almost universal. There
is a curious unanimity in the expres

really begin to lie felt after the Hrst of

lief in all directions that this revival
will be permanent, that it will last for
several years, at least.

The Elks huve issued u statement as to
how he met his death, from which it
appears that he sut on a thin sheet
of cast iron over a small gas jet, ac
cording to an initiation custom of the
order, hut thut instead of jumping up
on feeling the heat, as most candidates
do, he retained his seat, probably to
show his stoicism. When it was seen

Nevertheless he made a good speech
and lunched as merrily as anyone.
The next day he went about his busi

it was not till the day after that he
felt any ill effects from his experience.
According to the statement, Mr. Curry’s
system was in such condition from the
excitement of the campaign that any
small hurt would huve caused hlood

Apsln Tiring of Weyler.
WAilttJtOTox, Nov. 18. — It, in lonrnod
here oh authority that the Spanish
government hus given General Weyler
to understand that ini must push ids
operations against the Insurgents ag
gressively and vigorously. Unless lie
boon achieves a decisive victory over
the Cabana It is believed lie will be re
called. General Weyler, it is under
stood, is aware of the alternative and
his present eampuign in I’inur del Itio
is expected to result in un engagement
that will put a new aspect on the
Cuban situation one wuy or the other.
General Weyler has all the troops
that he can use. There are over 200,
000 Spanish soldiers in Cuba and the
force under the captain general in Ills
present operations in the field in per
son is over 00,000 men. Mueeo, against
whom he is now operating, has under
him. it is estimated, about 7,000 men.
Hpuin having fulfilled all of General
Weyler's wishes as to truops, now ex
pects results from him. Consul Gen
eral Gee lias acquainted the adminis
tration with these fucts and the Presi
dent is at present simply awaiting
events and will shape his course by the
developments.
It is tlie hope of General Weylcrthat
he will be able to wore a decided vic
tory before the assembling of eotigress,
December 7. Spain fears adverse ac
tion by that foody soon after it meets
and lias urged General Wcylcr to dem

UNCLE SAWS UNEMPLOYED

Wamhihotos, Nov. 18.—Hon. Carroll
D. Wright, commissioner of labor, in
charge of the eleventh census, lias
transmitted to the secretary of the in
terior a special report on the statistics
of occupations.
The most interesting feature of the
rejsirt relates to the question of the
unemployed. Siiniiur data relative to
the unemployed were collected at the
census of 18so, but were not compiled,
so this 1m the tirsttime in the federal
census that information of tills char
acter lias been pre ented iri connection
with the statistics of occupations.
There were 23,7.15,0151 persons 10
years of age and over engaged in gain
ful occupations in 1800, of whom 18,
821,000 were males and 3,014,571 fe
males. Of these, 3,013,117 males and
510,<i)3 females, or a total of 3.523,730
persons, were unemployed at their prin
cipal occupations during some part, of
tlie census year ending Mu,, 31. 1800.
Of the whole number of persons so
unemployed, 1,818,sti5 were unem
ployed from one to three months.
1,318.318 from four to six months and
33*1,447 from seven to twelve months.
This is equivalent, approximately, to
1,130,072 persons unemployed at their
principal occupations for the entire
twelve months, and this number would
represent 5.01 per cent of the total
number of persons engaged in gainful
occupations in 1800
Divided as to sex, the approximate
number of males unemployed at tlieir
principal occupation for the entire
census year was 072,000, representing
5.1*1 per cent of the whole number of
males at work, while the approximate
numtier of females unemployed at their
principal occupations during the same
period was 1*17,072, representing 4.28
per cent of the whole number of fo
males at work.

cerning the movements of Captain
General Weyler and his army now in
pursuit of Die insurgent forces under
Antonio Macao in the province of
1‘innr Del Kin, and the insurgents are
circulating reports of Spanish defeats.
There seems to tie ground for the be
lief that the cuptuin general lias not
met with the success lie anticipated.
It is no longer denied that the in
surgents have captured Die two ijuite
important towns of I aseorro and Duui
mara, in Puerto Principe. As intimated
some time ago, there is no doubt that
an insurgent army of alsmt 10,000 men
is advancing upon Die city of Puerto
I'rineipe. capital of the province uf
that name.

| SILVER AND RELIGION.
Kovel Cliurrh Project of Chicago Whitt
Metal Advocate*.
Chicago, Nov. jo.- The Her. Flavius
J. Itrobst, who was an active free
silver speaker in the late campaign;
Colonel C. A. Crum of the United Silver
party, Charles 1*. Huey, an Episcopa
lian and secretary of the United Silver
party; Professor H. M. Johnson, a
Presbyterian and a member of the ex
ecutive committee of the same organi
zation; David Shanahan, who repre
sents tlie Catholic sentiment in the
movement; tieorge A. Williams, who
was prominent in the silver movement;
J. P. Itishop and Colonel Drake met.
yesterday and decided to open a church
of non-sectarian character, at which
silver as well as religion will tie con
sidered. It is expected that some the
ater will be secured, and that Mr.
Jlrohst will la-come the pastor of what
will he called the Church of Humanity.
The founders believe that the recent
attitude of some pulpits on the finan
cial (juestlon had driven a large num
ber of church people from sympathy
with existing organizations. It is not
proposed to have Mr. Ilrobst preach
nothing imt silver sermons. The
founders said yesterday that the pure
gospel from the lllble would be
preached, and in time it is hoped the
church can extend its good influences
through humanitarian work, and
demonstrate the usefulness of a prac
tical religion to those who care little
Ur it now.
