Holidays.

There is universal tendency among
civilized nations TO set apart certain days
for rest and recreation. 1t was practice
among the ancient Romans, and it has con-
tinued with increasing frequency and regu-
larity down 10 the present day.
Among Christian nations the leading hol-
idays are generally church festivals. Christ
mas is everywhere observed as a day Of JOY
and teasiing. In all Christian countries, ex-
cept the United States, Good FRIDAY is oh
served BY abstinence from work and for the
most part by abstinence from pleasure.
Faster SUNDAY, which closely follows. is a
day Of gladness. and in most countries Easter
Monday is a day Of pleasure making.
Other church seasons are more or less OBJ
served. according TO national custom. In

Some days ago a young man who came
down the river on the Cons Millar, max
ing the acquaintance of J. NJ. Pavey dur
ing the trip, was introduced by him to Mr..
John X. Speed upon the arrival of the
steamer at this port as George Riley, a

thought about the matter until Wednes-
day morning, when Mr.. Speed Received
the following letter:

later, and in the meantime notified Capt
Hackett, who waited until Riley returned
and took him in charge. At th1,; station

selected. He said, further, that he thought
the party would no longer look to the East
for anything. They depended upon the
West, and their candidates would be most
likely Western men, The Southern and
Western men would work together and let
the East follow if it liked.
Senator Slater, OF Oregon, thinks the
National Democratic Convention will be
held either in Cincinnati or Chicago. He
believes that Oregon will go Democratic
next year. He says the changes of politi-
cal sentiment during the past year or two
are favorable to the Democrats, thor,
the immigration to the State perhaps
weighs somewhat a.SSainst them. The SEN
ator believes the Oregon Democrats will
be united and harmonious next year.
The hext Democratic Convention will
comprise S02 delegates, instead of 73S, as
heretofore. The increase results from the
enlargement OF the House OF Representa-
tives. Two delegates are allowed from
each Congressional district, and four at
large from each State, to represent the Sem
atorial votes. So that il will require 402
votes TO nominate, instead of $40, es hith-
erto,
Soine4of the Democratic leaders are ad-
vising that the convention next year be
held in August, on the ground that the
canvass will thus be shortened, reducing
the labor without in any way operating
against the party's chances. II is claimed
that just as effective work can be done in
two months as in four. So far as this pro-
position has been discussed it does not
seem to meet with much favor. August
weather, it is represented, is too warm for
convention labors, and September would
be too late. Therefore, it is probable that
the committees will follow precedents, and
fix the time two or three weeks later than
the Republican Convention.
1t is already aplfsrent that there will be
4 sharp struggle between competing cite:
for the privilege of holding the conven
ton. Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Louis
vile and Saratoga are actively in the field
and Baltimore is talked OF by some. The
meeting OF the committee will bring to
gether many of the most distinguished
and influential Democratic leaders, and i
is probable that there will be conference
among them looking to an agreement upol
a definite party policy.
