The year now drawing to a close has been freighted with blessings in abundant measure to the people of Nebraska. The conditions that move tne human hear to thankfulness surround us upon every hand The glad songs of peace and plenty go u from tbo happy homes of a prosperous am contented people. Thursday , November 27th , has been designated by the President of th United States as a day of National Thanks giving , and in harmony therewith , I , JAME W. DAWES , Governor of the State of Nebras ka , do hereby recommend to the People o this State that the day so appointed bo observ cd as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer t Almighty God In humble acknowledgment o His continued mercies. "Enter Into his gates with thanksgiving , am into his courts with praise ; bo thankful unt him and bless his name. " Let the voice of praise and thank-offering bo heard from all at the hearthstone alta of Home , and in the Sanctuary. If such there bo in your midst , then from your abundance relieve the wants and gladdei the hearts of the needy , and the suffering. 'So shall thy barns be filled with plenty , and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. " IN WITNESS WHEREOF , I have hereunto se my hand and caused to bo affixed the Grea Seal of the State of Nebraska. Done at Lincoln , this Fifteenth day of Novem bcr. In the year of our Lord One Thqusanc Eight Hundred and Eighty Four , of thi State the Eighteenth , and of the Indcpcnd enco of the United States the One Hundred and Ninth. JAMES W. DAWES. By the Governor , EDWARD p. RoaacN , Secretary of State. BRETHREN , if we must have scape goat upon which to rest the burdei of our defeat , Jet us be charitable anc divide the load between the Indepen dents , St. John and Cook-eyed Ben DURING the past year more home stead claims have been taken up in Nebraska than in any other state The state has increased wonderfully in population during the past four years , having almost doubled in tha time , and a large portion of this in crease is made up of farmers. At the recent election Nebraska cast about 135,000 votes , which shows that her population is nearly 800,000. THE little island of Dominica , in the West Indies group , wants to cut loose from the British government and put itself beneath the stars anc stripes of the United States. The is land has only 291 square miles , and t population of 26,000 , consisting most ly of negroes and French Creoles. Its legislative assembly has memorialized the British government to cede the island to the United States. Tx view of the fresh outbreak of cholera in France , Secretary McCul- loch has issued a circular order in re lation to the importation of old rags from infected ports , which modifies existing orders on that subject so as to continue the embargo until further notice and to declare all French and Mediterranean ports to be infected. This is eminently proper , and the or der should be strictly enforced. "We can better afford to pay a higher price for papei than to take any chances of introducing cholera in this country through imported rags. BELVA LocmvooD is now known to have received at least two votes for president one at "White River Junction , Vermont , and the other at Vincennes , Indiana. The voteatVin- cennes was cast by a lady' and was received and counted by the board This is probably the first vote ever cast by a woman for president. This ought to be regarded as a glorious victory for womans suffrage , and the event ought to be celebrated in a be coming manner. Bee. WE believe too much stress is be ing laid upon.the St. John element in the election in the Empire state , and the consequent effect of the same ele ment in the national result. If Roscoe Conkling , Carl Schurz , Curtis , and a host of others had not concluded to run amuck in this campaign , St. John would have done but little or no dam age to the Republican cause. Noth ing so seriously distracts and endang ers the life and perpetuity of a gov ernment , as internal dissensions , and the same is true , and equally true , as ' . * ' : u'4 . . to party/-James G. Biaiiie , though heavily handicapped by the active opposition of many eminent Republi cans , a few of whom we have named above , made a grand and character istic fight , and- received his defeat , of not so much by reason of the St. John movement , as of the Independent < movement. AT a late meeting of the Social Sqjunce club in Atchieon , one of the ladies present made use of the follow ing language which should be copied and read all over Christendom. She said : "Women generally should learn a lesson from the late political campaign. The extraordinaiy illog ical reformer may find that by tread ing where she does not comprehend she will make her own ruin. The women espoused the cause of St. John Why ? Because they imagined that by following the lead of a demagogue they would empty out the whisky anc close the dram shops. It was not the wives and mothers who used their in- fluence'against the interests of a granc old party , but the extremists the agonizers. When will women lean that only steady , patient education will uplift the nation into the gloriou light of temperance and morality ' We are sure to merge some time fron all that is bad and pernicious , but those who advocate abrupt measures are millstones about the neck of pro gress and enlightenment. Let the women , then , who fasten their for tunes to the devastating trail of St John's polluted shirts , take home to their hearts the sad lesson that such i course ought to teach. Let us be tern perate , let us be chaste , but above al things , do not let us be fools. " ADDITIONALL00AL REVISED EDITION-SETTLER'SGUIDE HENRY N.
