Tomorrow in the South will be a new
era in the observance Of the custom of Civ
ing thanks to the Almighty for all the good
Of the past year. For ten years after tho
war tho day set apart by the President as q
day Of National Thanksgiving was no more
observed than any other date in the calen-
dar. The newspapers did not even print
the Presidents Thanksgiving proclamation.
BY far the greater number Of the people
in the South did not know during that de-
cade that any day had been designated as
one Of thanks 1t was just like any other
day to them. During the past Eve or six
years the custom OF observing the day has
gradually and slowly found footing in the
South. But it has been nothing like gen.
eTal celebration. 1t was only in the cities
that there was any considerable observance
Ct tho day.
1t will be different this year. Tho peo.
pie Of the South think that they have
cause for thanks in the election of Demo-
cratic President They have celebrated
the result of the late elections on au
average of about once every four days. But
they do not think that is enough. They
have decided to have one grand culminat-
ing celebration tomorrow.
They will have regular Fourth.of.
July time. The railroads rnnning into
many of the principal cities have
fixed half rates, and the biggest sort OF
preparations have been made Tomorrow
will be the first time since the war for
Thanksgiving day to be generally observed
in tho South, and they will have a more en-
husiastic time south of Mason and Dixon'5
line than there will be north of it.

The Attorney General is guilty of a
grave error and injustice to the citizens of
Washington in the indiscriminate con-
demnation of local juries in his annual re.
Port.
A reflection upon Washington juries so
sweeping in its terms, constitutes an in
suit and libel upon all classes Of our popu-
lation not exempt from jury duty, and to
intimate that these are inferior in intelli-
gen@ or integrity to the inhabitants OF
other cities, is to make an accusation as
baseless as it is insinccre-as false as it is
malicious.
The citizens of Washington are an intel
igent, worthy and energetic class, and the
juries reflect very clearly their superiority
Of moral and mental attainments. While
jury must necessarily include the bad as
well as the good, and must be as varied as
the community from which it is selected at
random, we do not recall an instance of an
unrighteous verdict that involved tho in
tegrity of the men who pronounced 1t.
