Another Holiday.
pittsburn Chroni,


Would il not be good idea, on general prn-
cipes, to make the day on which the presiden-
tiAl election occurs q legal holiday by con-
gressional enactment
The strongest argument II favor Of IL. to our
mind, is that il would do away with the excuse
now so frequently given by citizens for neglect
ing the highest and most important duty Of
citizenship. namely. they have not time 70 go to
the polls and take part In the election. Give the
day over wholly 10 the very grave duty Of choos-
ing the men who shall rule us. 1t comes but
once in four wears, and everyone could afford to
give that day for the good Of themselves and Of
the Nation.
OF course the mere matter Of casting q single
vote requires but q brief time, but the duty of
the good citizen does not end here He could
we'll give some hours to seeing that every one
entitled to the suffrage should enjoy it. The
presence OF good citizens about the polls would
also tend to preserve good order among those
inclined to create disturbances. and to conserve
honesty in elecuons. As il 10 now a man goes
to the polls, deposits his ballot and leaves, allow
ing few and not always uninterssted parties to
run things"
Now. the business men have moro at stake in
all elections than any other class aud they are
remiss in that they do not give them more time
and attention. So long as they act as they do
now they cannot complain il things GO wrong.
IL might also be a good idea for the different
States to make legal holidays of their various
slectoa days, and with the same objects in
view.
