THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
TO THE PEOPLE OP THE STATE OP NO-
UIIASKA :
The time 5s drawing near , when in
accordance with a most appropriate
custom , the people are invited to as
semble in their accustomed places of
religious worship for the purpose of of
fering up their homage and gratitude to
the Ruler of the universe , for his mani
fold blessings.
Now'therefore , I , John M. Thayer ,
governor of the state of Nebraska , do
issue this my proclamation , designating
Thursday , the 27th day of the present
month , in the year of our Lord the one
thousandiand eight hundred and ninety ,
as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to
the Most High. I trust that the people
of this commonwealth will on that day
cease from their usual avocations , and ,
gathering in the sanctuaries , offer up
devout thanks and songs of praises and
invoke the continuance of His blessings.
Let me most earnestly entreat all on
that day to remember the poor and
needy , and give to them of their abund
ance , and thus make their hearts glad ,
remembering that it is more blessed to
give than to receive.
In testimony whereof , I have
hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the great
seal of the state.
Done at Lincoln , this 6th
day of November in the year
of our Lord one thousand
[ SEAL ] eight hundred and ninety , of
the state the twenty-fourth ,
and of the independence of
the United States the one
f hundredth and fifteenth.
By the Governor :
.JOHN M. TIIAYEII.
BENJ. 11. COWDERY , Sec. of State.
IN fishing for political honors it
seems to be quite necessary at this
juncture that the farmers spit on
the bait.
THE reciprocity idea seems to
have taken firm hold on the farm
ers. All of which is quite natural
and proper.
POLITICAL life-preservers will be
in demand in Nebraska for a few
years. The Church Howe patent
will be a popular make. It is war
ranted against anything short of a
Conemaugh flood.
LET the basis of representation
in the next republican state con
vention be estimated on the vote
for Richards. Omaha deserves no
voice in a republican convention.
Tecumseh Chieftain.
IT will now be apropos for Mr.
Hosewater of the Omaha Bee to
issue a leaflet on "Political Assas-
' siuatiou" from a Douglass county
point of view. It would be inter
esting if not instructive and worthy
emulation.
OXNARD'S beet sugar factory
number two goes to Norfolk. It
.required a cash bonus of $150-
000.00 and fifty acres of land to
secure the prize. The Norfolk
factory will be one-fourth larger
than the Grand Island factory.
SINCE the election the Lincoln
Journal makes the discovers that
prohibition does not effect the flow
of money or immigration into a
state. The admission- rather
tardy , but true nevertheless , Col
onel Hosewater to the contrary
.notwithstanding.
THE milk of human kindness in
tlie average republican editor's
breast now wells up toward the
Honorable William A. McKeighan ,
M. C. , with all the spontaneous ir-
resistibleuess of an artesian
"spooter. " Truly the more exalt
ed heights some of "the boys" at
tain , the more painful the spectacle
they produce.
PKOHIBITION has been beaten in
a manner that might be called
overwhelming. Now let us have
an end for the present of the polit
ical phase of the agitation. Let
temperance work go on , God speed
it , and in time prohibition will come
of itself. The times are not ripe
for it now and the fact should be
recognized. Lincoln Herald.
thing of being decent is
-such a novelty in politics , " says the
.Fremont Tribune , "that people are
afraid to risk it. " And the defeat
< of L. D. Richards gives strong col
oring to the humiliating statement.
The epitaph of that party in which
decency is a bar to success is writ
ten. In this connection , however ,
it is gratifying to note that the de
feat of Mr. Hichards was compass-
.ed by the same selfish and corrupt
gang that has ever menaced the
republican party in Nebraska , not
by the rank and file of the party.
ONCE more does it become neces
sary to tender our most sincere
condolences to Mr. Kosewater.
Look at that magnificent vote for
the independent ticket. You made
it possible Mr. Rosewater , even
more , you made it. But none of
it is yours , or for you. The usu
fruct of all your toil and labor goes
to others. It is a great pity , Mr.
Rosewater but none of us are
gifted with the power of vision into
a grindstone. Lincoln Herald.
THE November returns to the
Agricultural department at Wash
ington make the average for corn
19.9 bushels , and for potatoes 57.5
bushels. The crops , so far as these
two products are concerned , have
but once before been so unsatisfac
tory , and yet there will be enough
of both to supply the demand for
food , and there will be a surplus
of corn to sell. The agricultural
resources of this country are so
great that it requires a more
serious failure than has ever been
known in the United States to pro
duce a scarcity sufficient to em
barrass consumers.
KANSAS is one of the few states
in the Union in which the "Demo
crats failed to make large gains in
the recent election. Robinson's
total vote will probably not exceed
70,000. Before the election the
Democrats claimed from 40,000 to
20,000 Republican resubmission
votes. If they gained even 10-
000 from the opposition that would
leave a Democratic vote of only
60,000. In 1886 the Democrats
polled 115,000 votes in Kansas.
In 1888 their vote fell to 103,000 ,
and this year their ticket received
not more than 70,000 , including
the anti-prohibition Republicans
who voted for Robinson. These
figures indicate that the Farmers'
Alliance has not recruited its ranks
from the Republican party alone ,
and they also show that the Demo
crats can never nope to carry Jian-
sas by making war on prohibition.
AN ingenius liar gets into the
newspapers to say thatthe Montreal
capitalists have put up a job of
immense proportions 011 the McKinley -
Kinley act , which imposes a duty
of 5 cents a dozen on eggs. They
are going to erect immense estab
lishments across the line in which
the hens will be fed on the Cana
dian side and will lay their eggs
on the United States side. The
hens will be fed with cheap Cana
dian dough and the eggs being
American will not have to pay any
duty and millions of dollars will be
made at the expense of poor Mr.
McKinley. There is one thing
that this liar forgot. It will cost
every hen that walks across the
line in the morning to lay a cent's
worth of egg three cents a pound ,
live weight , to get her fuss , feath
ers and cackle over into the United
States. By the time she has paid
a daily duty on her carcass of fif
teen to twenty cents for the privi
lege of laying American eggs one
summer she will be tired of the
project of beating Mr. McKinley's
bill. State Journal.
IT is somewhat amusing to note
the blunders made by opponents
of the McKinley bill , when they
interpet it in the light that the tar
iff adds to the price of the products.
For instance , the duty on salt is
eight cents per one hundred pounds
in bulk , and twelve cents per hund
red jpounds in bags , barrels or pack
ages. A barrel of salt and barrel
weighs three hundred pounds , the
duty on which would be thirty-six
cents. As the barrel of salt on
board the cars at the salt works
costs "but " fifty cents , we take out
the duty , thirty-six cents , leaving
for the original cost of salt to the
importer , fourteen cents lor barrel
and salt. The freight from port
of entry to the place of manufact
ure Syracuse , Saginaw or Kansas
would , in no case , be less than
twenty-five cents a barrel and in
some one dollar , so that if it is
true that the duty on salt adds to
its cost to the consumer , the buy
er in Syracuse , N. T. , would get a
barrel for nothing and get as a
bribe to take it six cents a bar
rel , the barrel costing nothing , be
ing made by foreign labor. The
western buyer would get about a
dollar per barrel for buying salt
from the importer at the same
rate. Rolfe Reveille.
THE latest from the great slug
ging match between the home and
the saloon reports that the home
received a black eye. The saloon
is open for further challenges.
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
In the house of representatives
of the fifty-second congress the
democrats and alliance men will
have a majority , as appears from
the returns now in , of about one
hundred and thirty. The relative
strength of these two parties can
not yet be accurately stated , but
undoubtedly the democrats will
have a clear working majority , so
that they will control the organiza
tion of the house and be able to
pass all measures of partisan legis
lation. Democratic gains have
been made in nearly every repub
lican state : the losses of that party
have been chiefly in the south ,
where democrats have been suc
ceeded by alliance men. Among
the northern states the alliance
movement in Kansas and Nebras
ka was the most successful in retir
ing republican representatives.
The alliance representation in
the next congress may numbei
c * v
fifty , but it will be powerless tc
accomplish anything. The demo
crats will not need its assistance
and it could gain nothing by unit
ing with the republicans. It will
not hold the balance of power , bul
will be merely an isolated conting
ent that must beg for whatever ii
desires from the democratic major
ity. Very likely that party will
be disposed to comply with some
of its demands , but that will be tone
no purpose unless they are accept
able to a republican senate. It is
to be expected that the democrats
will seek to win the favor of re
publican alliance men in the north
and to remove the hostility of dem
ocratic alliance in the south , but
their efforts to do this can avail
nothing without republican ap
proval.
The republican party will be in
a smaller minority in the populai
branch of the next congress than
it has been since the party came
into power , but however much re
publicans may regret this fact it
involves no menace to the public
interests or to those policies which
the large'majority of repiiblicans
desire to have preserved. The
safeguard of these is in a republi-
sau president whose term will be
3o-extensive with the democratic
iouse of representatives just elect
ed and in a republican senate that
, vill continue several years longer.
Omaha Bee.
THE republicans have done so
veil during the session of the Fif-
; y-first congress that they have
jarned a little rest. The Ameri-
; an people are always solicitous of
; he health of their public servants
ind they relieve them , at intervals ,
) f mental strain. But the nation
, vas boosted ahead a long distance
: > y the legislation of 1890 , and i
vill never fall back to the condi-
ion it was left in by the late dem-
) cratic administration of odorous
nernory. The disabled soldiers
lave got their pensions and the
lemocrats will not be able to re
peal the law. Silver is remone-
tized and Mr. Cleveland's compac
with Wall street can never be re
newed. The tariff has been re
formed and will not be meddlec
with for many a year. The princi
ple of reciprocity with our South
American brethren has been estab
lished and there is no "gigging
back. " We can afford to let the
democrats shoAv their inertia and
put on the drags. Too much of a
good thing is always distasteful to
the people , but one thing has been
demonstrated in the political his
tory of the nation since ' 61 , and
that is that every advance made
when the republicans are in power
is permanent and is heartily en
dorsed by the democrats five years
after going into effect. The bourbons
bens can put on the brakes , but
they have never dared to reverse
the lever. State Journal.
HENRY GEORGE says it was his
single tax theory that did the busi
ness of the republican party at the
recent election. Well , Henry
knows about as little about the
"reason" as the rest of 'em. If he
should visit Nebraska however he
would find out that the sixty or
seventy thousand farmers that
knocked out things politicallywere
not worrying themselves in favor
of a single tax on land , but wanted
to tax the other fellow sufficiently
to lend each former all the money
he wanted at 1 per cent , and take
a mortgage for security , So the
world goes. One man's theory
doesn't explain all creation veiy
often , though he may never find it
out. State Journal.
IT is John C. Allen , secretary of
state. Congratulations !
ALTHOUGH we are unable to give
the official returns , it is conceded
that the Republican state ticket is
elected by pluralities of from 2 to
4 thousand save the governor ,
Boyd , democrat , being successful ,
with a possible contest by Powers ,
alliance.
IN France , owing to the passage
of the McKinley bill , raising the
duties on silks , wines , and fine
woolen goods , tle newspap ers are
urging the French government to
make concessions to the American
trade that this government may
thereby be induced to readopt the
old schedule of rates. American
pork and other farm products may ,
therefore , be received in France
with more f avdr.
