NOVEMBER 12. 1S90. Thanksgiving Proclamation. To the people of the Htate of Nebraska: The time is drawing near when, in accordance with a moat appropriate cus tom, the people are invited to assemble in their accustomed places of religious worship for tho purposo of offering up their homage and gratitude to the Knler of the universe for His manifold bless ings. Now, therefore, I, John M. Thayer, governor of tho state of Nebraska, do is sue this, my proclamation, designating TntriiSDAY, the 27th Day of the present month, in tho year of our Lord, one thousand 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 avoca tions and, gathering in the sanctuaries, offer up devout thanks and songs or praise and invoke tho continuance of His blessings. Let mo most earnestly entreat all on that day esitcciully to remember the poor and needy and to give to them of their abundance, 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 tliis state. Done at Lin coln, this Gth day of November, inthe j-car of onr Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety, of the state the twenty-fourth and of the independence of the United States tho one hundredth and fifteenth.

We notice that the "solid south' still solid no breaks there. is Peck's bad boy looms up as a possible democratic candidato for vice-president. Mistaken patriots the American peo ple may occasionally be, but they are patriots still. Hurrah for Nevada! Oat ol ten thousand voters, five thousand majority for the republicans. Cleveland is happy, but ho needn't be it wasn't tho McKinley bill, only the misrepresentations against it.

No event in America since the first Bull Run lias caused more widespread joy in Great Britain than the dofeat of McKinley. Tho fact is significant -Bee. Martin Ennis of Doniphan fell into an open cellar door at his brother-in-law's at Grand Island, Wednesday night, and received injuries which may prove fatal. John B. Polen, under life sentence in the penitentiary for killing F. J. Metteer, the seducer of his wife, was pardoned Thursday, after three years incarcera tion. Coleridge, lord chief justice of Eng landrwas taken suddenly ill Thursday in court, supposed then to be apoplexy, but afterwards ascertained to be gas tritis. On election day at Fairbury a careful citizen, who prepared his ticket before he went to the polls, put his hunt' :c the wrong pocket when he got there, and voted a monthly statement instead of his ticket. The off years have struck the republi can party several times in its history, about as hard as they got it last Tuesday and yet they were successful in the next presidential campaign. Jcdge James W. Savage, one of the most prominent public men of Nebras ka, was taken sick about tho first of the month, and has since then been failing very rapidly. Friday it was thought he coundnt live but a few daye. Cuba wants reciprocity. There is not a country enjoying trade with the Unit ed States on this hemisphere which can afford to deny this country special priv ileges if the United States Ehows any disposition to insist upon having them. The McKinley law has had the effect of closing forty tobacco factories in Cuba, which means the opening of forty newonee in the United States, with a corresponding increase for American workmen, St. Louis Globe - Democrat. The number of acres of land under cultivation in the United States, has doubled since the war, so says statisti cian Dodge of the department of agri culture. The populatioohasnot doubled. A GOOD THING FOR AMERICA. That U What a BaaiBeas Maa Who Opposed the McKialey Bill Now Think of It. Mr. Colby Davis, buyer for one of the largest dry goods houses in this city, and a man who is thoroughly conversant with the various features of the dry goods houses in this city, and a man who is thoroughly conversant with the vari ous features of the dry goods trade, gives the following very pertinent infor mation: "Previous to my visit to Europe, in July last I was greatly opposed to the McKinley bill. In fact, I was very bitter, and notwithstanding I rhave been a staunch republican all my life, I declared I would not vote again for a party that supported a measure that I then esteem ed as little better than a legalized rob bery of the workingman and framed solely in tho interests of monopoly. But I had not been in Europe two weeks before I changed my mind. Of course I anticipated seeing and hearing tho most violent objections to the bill on tho part of Europeans. I was not prepared, however, as many Americans are to accept it, simply because foreign ers opposed it. Hut 1 mot a manufac turer of mohair goods at Bradford, Eng land, and we got into a discussion over the tariff, and I, as an American, sup ported it, not that I really lelieved it a wise measure, but with a view to learn ing his opinions. In the course of our conversation I learned that his son had sailed the previous Meek for America for the purposo of watching the outcome of the tariff agitation and in case of the passage of tho McKinley bill to perfect arrangements for the establishment of a plant in America. That put a new light upon the situation and I began to recon sider. Then I met a manufacturer of jute yarns used in cheap carpets, a Scotchman from Dundee. His partner had also gone to America to establish n plant. When in Germany I heard of several large woolen plants that were to lie started in this country by Ger man capitalists. In France I heard of the combination of one of the largest firms in Paris with a domestic firm. As I say, I began to see things in a different light, and with the develop ments I have noted since my return I am now convinced that it is undoubtedly a good thing for America. We have re ceived since the passage of the McKinley bill so ple of domestic gomls of a finer .tde than ever were mannfaetur 'f before. Here is a Scotch cheviot that never fold for less than 00 cents. Here is a recent production that, as you see, is just as handsome, same width, just as durable and for all my knowledge just as good in every resjxet that ive are go ing to sell for Co cents. And this is the direct result of the McKinley bill. Al most every line of goods has experienced tho same chango for the bettor, and in addition we are learning each day that mills that have been closed for four or five years are being re-established and put in operation. Trade has grown brisk. Everything is brightening. There is a snap and vim, a cheerful tono and better feeling among manufacturers than there has been for years. Millions of dollars are coming to this country from Europe for the same reason that the two manufactories men tioncd are coming. The manufactories already started have created a tremen dous demand for labor, so great a de mand that difficulty is experienced in supplying it. During the stagnation the mill opera tives drifted over the country and en gaged in farming and other pursuits. ' But of course only skilled. Jabor- i " ed in ths mills. I ani w .,,3. Carter Harrison ay .are that, as for cigar- a . ,ve Bhall nav more ! US?' Minmnnrrnft hut 7 hnOW .osities of life, dress goods, cloth- .t, are going to be of a better grade and cheaper; that labor is going to re ceive more employment, and consequent ly better wages, and that trade is note brisk, new industries are opening, and while people are just a trifle disconcert ed, not thoroughly understanding the various relations of trade, and the new bill in its entirety and completed scope, when things have adjusted themselves, as the will in a few months, I firmly believe it will prove a most beneficent measure. Chicago Inter Ocean. Wlmt the Inter Ocean Thinks. The Inter Ocean says "it was the de lay of the senate in passing the tariff bill that did it. The law is protective; it has proved itself beneficial in the few weeks of its operation; six months hence it will be so clearly and widely recog nized as beneficial ;is to insure republi can success wherever and whenever a candidate asks the suffrages of a north ern constituency to prevent its repeal. But, instead of six months, little more than the half of six weeks was given for a test of its operation. Had the bill be come law on the Gth day of June, instead of the 6th day of October, the falsehoods concerning its effect on the price of commodities wonld have been too trans parent for use. It is to be remembered also, that four long monthB of weary de lay and debate intervened from the passag of a tariff bill by the house to its ac jptanco in a modified form by the i..uate. During all this time the demo cratic press, inspired by the importers' ring and the Cobden club, was inces sant in creating a feeling of distrust lest the increased duties should be fol lowed by increased prices. Had the senate muzzled its obstreperous minor ity as boldly us did the house, the time spent by the democratic press in creat ing alarm could have been used by the jopublican press in restoring confidence by examples of the healthful action of the new law. But as matters have gone the whole democratic press has been given time to iterate and reiterate false charges of 'increased prices on account of the tariff,' and, unfortunately the falsehoods have gained wide credence. That they will react upon their vendors is certain. Prices, generally speaking, are not high er since the passage of tho bill; they are not likely to be higher; they are likely to be lower. But the voburae of trade has increased since the passage of the bill, and as a consequence of its pasaage, and it is sure to increase to yet greater proportions, though, as we believe, its increase is likely to be limited to narrow bounds by the election of a democratic majority in congress. The dilatory action of the senate upon the tariff is, we repeat, the chief cause conspiring to the temporary discomforture of the republicans." Platte CoHBty. Boyd had the largest vote of any of the democracy except George E. Willard, whose vote was 1654, 97 more than Boyd, and 303 more than Wilson. Dorsey had the highest vote of any republican on the ticket, and the returns don't evidence any trading off, of other republicans. Benton's vote was 394, running very close to that of Majors, but yet the least of all the state ticket. Albert (republican and independent), was the largest vote of all, 1896; Schelp, on the same tickets, was next to him, 1889. Bismark had only one republican vote, and Walker only one democratic Kem ran ahead of his ticket Thomp son behind his 101, and Dorsey ahead of his 37. Little interest was taken in the "li cense" amendment. Tho majority against the "prohibition" amendment was 1303. Prohibition had 792 votes in the county, about twice as many as tho prohibition leaders calcu lated upon. The townships giving a majority for prohibition were: Monroe 9r to 63, Walker 120 to 41, Creston 71 to 61; Woodville was 73 for and 74 against, whilo Bismark, Grand Prairie, Sherman and Loup gave respectively 5. 8, 4 and 1 for, to 125, 128, 131 and 70 against pro hibition. The Issae Made l'p. Ex-President Cleveland is happy. He sees in the election of 1890 a reversal of the judgment passed upon his tariff policy in 1888. He loses no time in serv ing notice on his party that he is on deck, ready to lie the captain of the crew in 1892, sailing under the free-trade flag he unfurled with so much ostenta tion and self-assurance iu his annual message of 1887. Mr. Cleveland and his party will find the republicans of the country quick and hearty in the acceptance of this renewal of the tariff issue. They have no occa sion to be in the slighest degresj discour aged by the repulse suffered November 4. The McKinley bill only went, into effect October 6, and there has been no time for the public to understand its provisions, or for the seed sown to bear frnit. The most outrageous misrepre sentations were made, and if the bill were really what a great many people mistakenly suppose it to be the congress which passed it would deserve to be buried under an avalanche of popular condemnation. But these misconcep tions will wear off long before the next presidential election, and, with the coun try in the actual enjoyment of the bene fits inevitable under the new tariff, a more sweeping victory than the one of 1888 will be easily attainable by the re publican party in 1892. Inter Ocean. The CaftleHauthf. The figures of the census relating to the industries of the country are at this time far from complete, but enough is known to render several important facts available. Among other things it is al leged that the new census will show a very great fall-off in the industry of cattle ranching. We do not know the percentage of decline which is claimed, but it is claimed to be sufficiently great to point certainly to a marked decay in this industry. This is only in line with what the people were beginning to. sea for themselves for a number, of years past Without exception all the cattfe companies of the country have aufe ' in this way. The best rja ;a have undoubtedly. b"-" - ranching lieve the caus-" - seen, and we be- on ike - .y is to be congratulated -uowledge that this is so. The American people have learned many things in the past decade or two, and among them the bitter lesson of bow much the cheap use of cheap lands may interfere with the general prosperity of the country. The increased cost of handling cattle on the plains is a matter of very great advantage to the farmers of the country, and this increase in cost is the agent above all others which is bringing about the order of things iu which old-time ranching will be practic ally impracticable. National Stock man. The ConipaM is the Watch. A correspondent of the London Truth sends the following: "A few days ago I was standing by an American gentleman, when I expressed a wish to know which point was north. He at once pulled out his watch, looked at and pointed to the north. I aBked him whether he had a compass attached to his watch. "All watches," he replied, "are compusses." Then he explained to me how this was. Point the hour hand to the sun, and the south is exactly half way between the hour and the figure XIJ, on the watch. For instance suppose that it is -4 o'clock. Point the hand indicating 4 to the sun and II on the watch is exactly south. Suppose that it is 8 o'clock, point the hand indicating 8 to the sun, and the figure X on the watch is due south. My American friend was quite surprised that I did not know this. Thinking that very possibly I was ignorant of a thing that every one else knew, and happening to meet Mr. Stanley, I asked that emi nent traveler whether he was aware of this simple mode of discovering the points of the compass. He said that he had never heard of it I presume, there fore, that the world is in the same state of ignorance. Amain is proud of having been the home of the compass. I do not know what town boasts of my American friend as a citizen." ProaoBBced Hopeless, Yet Saved. From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd of Groton, S. D:, we quote: "Was taken with a bad cold, which settled on my lungs, cough set in and finally ter minated in consumption. Four doctors gave me up saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. Sing's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles; it has cured me and thank God I am a well and hearty woman."

The McKinley law will increase the cost of living to each family iu the United States 33.63 a year. To offset this the law places on the free list arti cles which were imported last year to the amount of $:iG5,000,OOOand on which the people paid 885,000,000 in purely revenue taxes. Tho abolition of the sugar duties alone will save 85 each year to every family. This schedule will go into effect on April 1, next. The free admission of sugar will, therefore, more than offset the entire increase in prices. Buffalo Express. The Nebraska woman suffrage asso ciation holds its tenth annual meeting at Fremont, yesterday and today. Among other things in their call they say: "The admission of Wyoming with woman suffrage; the favorable report in both houses of congress; the general advance all along the line make this a most auspicious time for the suffragists of Nebraska to renew their acquaintance and make plans for future action." Miss Susan B. Anthony and Mrs. Julia B. Nelson, of Minnesota were advertised to be present at this meeting, and a very interesting time was expected. The de feat of the woman suffrage amendment in Nebraska in 1882 seems not to have been sufficient to entirely abash the dear ladies, who are working for their own enfranchisement. Mrs. Clara B. Colby of Beatrice is the president of the Ne braska association, and is one of the mo6t intelligent, wide-awake and ardent advocates of impartial suffrage in the country. . Natubaixy enough the election re turns of the past week have not been very gratifying to republicans, neverthe less it was much better that it should occur now than two years hence. The off years don't count for so very much in the long run, in national politics, any how. Generally speaking, it was a dem ocratic victory, scoured by dividing re publicans. The campaign was planned and conducted very ably by our friends, the enemy, and they are entitled to whatever enjoyment they can get out of it, but they want to be sure to laugh while they can the time is sure to come when knowledge will take the place of conjecture, when the solid, good busi ness effects of the Mckinley bill will overthrow the wild outcry against it Take your laugh, now, gentltQen.

Looking Glass. Toe United States are producing about half of all the cotton fiiber used in tbe world. Develop the manufacturing in dustrica of the sections of the south where this crop is abundant, so that it may all be worked up in this country. This is the true, policy for the American people, and a protective tariff secures this result quicker thau anything vise more factories, more mouths to feed and better home markets for the products of the Held. Last Tuesday afternoon at. about five o'clock a decidedly bloody and serious free-for-all fight took place at Peru, Neb. The row started over politics and an old family feud between two families named Adams and Dillon. Charley Adams was stabbed by a man named Garrison. More than a dozen were en gaged in the fight, ami blood llowed freelv. All the participants were arrest- California has produced 42 trotters in the 2:20 or better class; Canada, 3; Connecticut, 3; Illinois, !; Indiana. 11; Iowa, 5; Kentucky, 89; Maine, fi; Massa chusetts, 5; Michigan, 23; Minnesota, 1; Missouri, il; New Jersey, 8; Maryland, 1; Nebraska, 1; New Hampshire, 1; New York, 50; Ohio, 11; Oregon, 1; Pennsyl vania, 1; Rhode Island, 8; Tennessee, 7; Vermont, 1; Wisconsin, 5. Watson, chairman of the republican state central committee, gives it as his opinion that tho defeat of Richards was due to his failure to declare himself un equivocally with reference to prohibi tion; to the effect of the passage of the McKinley bill at so short a time before election ;and to the all but revolutionary movement of the farmers' alliance in this state. One of the most horrible crimes which have been committed was perpetrated in West Philadelphia Thursday. Barbara Sambrecht, undoubtedly crazy on relig ion, cut the throat of her daughter Mary, 6-years old and then drew a knife across the throat of G-months old baby, killing it and then cut her own throat. The mother and Mary will both die. J. M.

Secretary Tracy is as anxious as any body could possibly be that the United States should have the best armed ves sels atioat, but being a careful, pains taking official he has not lost his head on account of the recent tests of armor at Annapolis, as some other people seem to have done, therefore he proposes moving slowly and cautiously about spending tha special appropriation of one million dollars made by congress for the purchase of nickel. The only speci men of armor that stood the test was the nickel-steel, made by a firm in France, and the secretary has no idea of making this government depend upon that firm tor its supply of armor plate, so be baa dacidtd to have tha only two firms in this country that have the plant nwosaasry to undertake the work tha Bethlehem Iron Works Company of Bethlehem, Pa-, and Carnegie, Phipps & Co, of Pittsburg make several plates similar to those mads by the French firm. These plates whan completed are to be subjected to the severest tests, and should they prove ss good as the French plates the secretary will at once enter into a contract for the manufacturing of a suiBcitn quantity of them to armor What is Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher's prescription for ITaBt and Children.

These omis sions were not the fault, nor were they f within the control of the census otlice." j As in the last census, New York is the most populous state and Pennsylvania 1 the next.
