C., Nov 4—The customary Thanksgiving proclama- tion was issued by the President | to day as follows: A PROCLAMATION. By the President of the United States: The constant goodness and for- bearance of Almighty God, which have been vouchsafed to the Ameri can people during the year which 13 just passed call for their sincere acknowledgement and devout grati- tude: To the end, therefore, that we may, with thankful hearts unite in extolling the loving care of our Heavenly Father, I, Grover Cleve- land, President of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart the 28th day of the present month of November as a day of thanksgiving and prayer to be kept and observed by all our people. On that day let us forego our usual occupations and in our accustomed places of worship join in rendering thanks to the giver of every good and perfect gift for the bounteous returns that have rewarded our la- bors in the fields and in the busy marts of trade, for the peace and order that have prevailed through- out the land, for our protection from pestilence and dire calamity and for the other blessings that have been showered upon us from an open hand. And with our thanksgiving let us humbly beseech the Lord to so in- cline the hearts of our people unto Him that he will not leave us nor for- sake us as a nation, but will continue to us his mercy and protecting care, guiding us in the path of national prosperity and happiness, endowing us with rectitude and virtue and keeping alive within us a patriotic love for the free institutions which have been given to_us as our national heritage. And let us, on the day of our thankegiving, especially remember the poor and needy, and by deeds of charity let us show the sincerity of our gratitude. In witness whereof I have here set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 4th day of November, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety five, and in the one hundred and twentieth year of the independence of the United States. Grover CLEVELAND. By the President: Ricwarp Oxyey, Secretary of State. Vest on Jefferson. At the unveiling of a bust of Thomas Jefferson in St. Louis last week Senator Vest madea speech eulogistic of the statesman whose memory was being perpetrated. Af- ter paying a tribute to his memory and recalling his work in connection with the tounding of the University of Virginia, Senator Vest said: “But Jefferson has left a greater legacy and constructed a greater and more enduring monument in the principles on which he based the Democratic party, of which he was the founder. What are these princi- ples? Put in shape to suit modern politics they are these: Absolute equality in the burdens and benefits of the government; no governmental partnership by which any man or set of men can become rich at the expense of their fellow citizens. All taxation to be in proportion to pro- tection given by the national govern- ment to the property of the citizen. We do not want a system under which Mr. Vanderbilt, with his hun dreds of millions of other property pays no more to the support of the government than the poorest man in this audience. “We want a strict construction of the constitution, the charter which regulates the power of all the de- partments of the government. Con- gress has no right to exercise any power not contained in the express- ed provisions of the constitution or is is implied in the effect. Then we want an economical administration of public affairs. The man who does not believe in these doctrines is not a Democrat and has no conception of the teachings of the great found- der of our party. “No Democrat can be a Republi- | F : ‘ can in the meaning of that word to-| | day, because the Republican party | \believe in the unlimited powers of | | clause of the constitution as did ite} founder, Alexander Hamilton | “No Democrat can be a Populist, | | because the populist believe that this government isa great elemosynary linstitution. The populist | that the government should support | |the people and not the people the| government. No Democrat can be| a Democrat who believes that the Democratic party cau exist on one single issue, one single detail of gov ernmental policy. The doctrines of the Democratic party are as broad as the great teritory we in inhabit. There never has been one single minute, one single second, one frac tion of a second, when the party which Jefferson founded did not exist in every hamlet, township and state in this broad Union.

Steel,N arb Wire, y Paints, Machine Oil, Groceries and Farm Produce party waves everywhere. When tho Democratic party becomes sectional when it is narrowed down to one is- sue,when it ceases to be the party of Jefferson, then our party is no more. You may believe in the gold stand- ard and I in the free coinage of sil- ver, but we can still be loyal to the party. We hear nowadays strange announcements and strange doctrines from so-called Democratic sources. We are told that a majority of the party should rule one way it would be necessary for the minority to go after the worship of strange gods. If that be the Democracy,all my life has been lost. If that be the teach- ings of Jefferson, I have been a dolt and idiot politically since entering the political arena. “If the dead can look down on the living, the spirit of Thomas Jeffer- son is wondering tonight that men can in his name preach the doctrines which today are rife throughout the land.” Face the Truth in hindness. Kansas City Times. Unquestionably the lesson to the Democrats of the late Waterloo, of which they were the vanquished party, is to quit fighting among themselves, get together on some practical basis of peace and prepare to present a united front to the enemy. There are euough Democrats in the country to make a party that will control it. But there are not enough to make two parties, hostile to each other, with any hope of either of them being successful. In other words, the Democratic party, united, harmonious and held together by a common purpose in a common cause is invincible. But broken into warring factions, intent upon mutual destruction, it is at once helpless and dangerous. It can not accomplish any good purpose, and occupies the field to the exclu- sion of some politica! organization that might. This is so plain that itis useless to argue it. Every Democrat feels and knows that his party is disrupt- ed, broken and powerless. He knows that there must be a radical change or its condition will become worse instead of better. And he knows that the way to begin to bring about a change is bya manifestation on each side of frankness and concilia- tion—respect for the wishes and opinions of the other side—and not by the use of epithets and abusiye language. There is not much sense, and still less force, in the plea of the St. Louis Republic for harmony in the party when it accompanies the ples with a vicious attack on the honesty of conviction and purpose of those who disagree with it. Be- fore there can be a restoration of peace and unity there must be a return of good feeling and mutual respect. The breach in the party in Mise souri is not so wide and deep that it can not be bridged. The adherents of the gold cause and the silver} cause see that they are playing a lesing game—that they are mutually | neutralizing and destroying each | other's power—and are disposed to! pause in their fight and see if some- thing can not be done to bring| peace out of contention, and thus| turn defeat into victory. { The question at issue is whether the Democrats of the State shall be, represented in the next national con-| vention of the party by a delegation | presidential candidates. 25, 30, 334, 40¢ PER POUND.

There is a grim smile over the re- venges which time has brought ia the overthrow of certain democratic leaders, whose course has been re- garded as not democratic. It can not be diseovered that any friend of tariff reform in Washington grieves over the defeat of Senator Gorman or Senator Brice, for to these two men has been ascribed no small part of the scandal of the segate conspir- acy against the Wilson bill. It is not deemed possible that either can hereafter play the prominent part he has aspired to in the past. The defeat in Maryland is looked upon not as a defeat of the demo- cracy, but of Senator Gorman and the machine. It is not considered possible that the overwhelming republican major- ity in the coming house can be re- strained from committing the fatu- ous blunders of extravagance and reckless legislation which have been punished by defeat so often in the past.

DIGGING FOR THE DEAD. Victims of the Detroit Boiler Explosion Are fixhumed- | Bodies of Thirty-threa of the Massing Are Recovered. Detroit, Mich. Nov., 6.—At 9 o'clock this one of the }steam boilers morning connected with the | Journal plant exploded, with terrific | |force and terrible results. The | boiler was located in the southeast | corner of the building No. 49 West Larned sireet. | The first floor was occupied by the Journal mailing department, in which a force of 15 men and boys | are usually employed. The second| floor was occupied by the Rogers} Typograph Supply Company, em-| ploying seven or eight men; the third | floor by Hiller’s book bindery, which employed fully 25 girls and men; the fourth was occupied by W. Kohi- brand, an engraver, and the fifth floor was the stereotyping depart- ment of the Journal. In an instant the buildings were a mags of ruins, under which were buried many human beings. At 11 o'clock three dead bodies had been taken out of the ruins, those of a girl and two men, anda half dozen others had been rescued alive,but are probably fatally injured. The explosion shook the surround- ing buildings and glass in the radius of a block was shattered in all di- rections, many employes of adjacent establishments being badly cut by flying glass. Half an hour after the explosion occurred. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 7.—The work of recovering the bodies of the vic- tims of the Journal boiler explosion continued all day today. By to- morrow morning all the debris will have been explored and the last of the bodies recovered Up to 6 o'clock this morning eighteen bodies had been taken out of the ruins, nearly all of them fright- fully burned. As the workers got into that portion of the debris into which fire had not crept, the condi- tion of the corpses recovered was found to be better. Death had come to the victims of the disaster so sud- denly that many of them were found in the very attitude in which they were at the moment of the explc sion. Fourteen corpses were taken out of the ruins between 6 o'clock this morning and 5 o'clock this eyening. The Journal building was a five story and basement brick. The boiler room occupies the basement of the east half of the Journal build- ing and almost directly over it the business office, where some 15 per- sons are employed. In the base- ment besides the engine room are the press room, the newsboys’ room and the mail room, in which about eight men are employed. The fifth floor contained the composing and stereotyping rooms, the fourth floor the editorial rooms. All departments were on duty when the explosion occurred. The Journal was a 2cent republican evening paper, established in 1880 and operated by Wm. Livingston, Jr., and ex-Senator Thomas W. Pal- mer. Snow and Rain. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 7.—It rained and snowed throughout Nebraska last night and mueh moisture is falling to-day in many sections. This is believed to be in time to save all fall seeding, although the acreage is not probably as heavy as it would have been but for the extended dry weather. Winnona, Minn., Nov. 7.—Nearly a foot of heavy wet snow has fallen here during the vight. The weather still remains rather mild, but snow continues to fall rapidly. This is the first of the season.

Akron, Ohio, Nov. 6.—James R. Garfield, son of the late President, was elected State Senator from the Twenty fourth and Twenty six dis- tricts by an enormous plurality. The district is normally Republican 10,000, but he has carried it by over 14,000. Running with him on the Republican ticket was Whittlesey, who has been State Senator for sev- eral years. Garfield’s plurality is greater than his by 2,000. The dis‘ trict which he will represent is al most identically the same as when his father was first chosen in 1857 to the office. A remarkable coinci- dence was that Garfield was nomi- nated on July 2, the fourteenth anniversary of his father’s assassina tion. He is a graduate of the Columbian law school of New York, and for seven years has practiced law in Cleveland. He lived in Mentor. The Republican papers ought to howl again. They raised a precious row and wanted this country to fight France over the case of Waller,Amer- ican minister to Madagascar, who was tried by French court martial and sentenced toa dungeon. France has submitted all papers in the case tothe United States government, among which was a letter written by Waller to Hoveys, with whom the French were at War in Africa. The letter was intercepted onits way. Had it been delivered the result would have proven disastrous to the French army The fact that Waller isan American citizen is about all that prevented the court martial from ordering him shot. His pun- ishment is light in proportion to his offense. He broke the laws of neu trality and acted # spy against a friendly and trusting nation.—Osce- ola Democrat. Saratoga, N. Y., Nov. 7.—George R. Sherman of Port Henry expired there suddenly with heart disease last night. He was a member of the iron firm of Sherman, Witherbee & Co, of that place, and was the rich- est iron man in Northern New York, being worth $10,000,000.
