 MT. Blaine is looking we'll, remarkably well, said Representative Holman to Wash ington Star reporter the other day. "Ido not recollect when he has appeared to better advantage. He was surrounded by people who were laying claim to his attention and consideration and was pressed for time, but his bearing was more calmly powerful than I have known 1t. He appears to be in the best of health and spirits. His eyes are bright and there is general frmness in his gaze, his voice, his hand-grasp and his pose, that denotes vitality. He looks 80 much stronger and better than when saw him before he went to Europe, and the thing notice is an improvement in his general manner He was always courteous, and had an excellent man ner of meeting and mingling with men, but withal there was constantly apparent that self-assertion, that aggressive will power. Now the will power is just as strong, but it does not obtrude itself in his manner He is schoo1ed to a calm repose of manner which is both attractive and impressive, and shows that he has gained still more perfect knowl- edge of men. He is bound to remain the powerful personality of his party. His health aud intellect appear vigorous"

THE HOLIDAY QUESTION.

A section of the Sundry Civil appropria tion bill passed by the last congress just pre- vious to adjournment declared that in order ton may be duly commemorated, the 3oth of this month 'sis hereby declared a national holiday throughout the United States" The Presidents proclamation did not declare the day legal holiday, but recommended that the people assemble at 9 o'clock in the morn ing in their various places of worship for an hour of thanksgiving and prayer. The &C., tion of congress does not in itself make the day legal holiday throughout the country. Such action is subject to the approval of the States.
 This being the situation, some of the States have made the day 8 legal holiday and some have not. In New York it has been declared a holiday by special act. In Massachusetts the legislature has declined to do anything. In Ohio there is statute declaring that ''any day appointed by the governor of the State, or the President of the United States, as day of fast or thanksgiving, shall for all pur- poses whatsoever of presentment for payment be considered as the first day of the week." Governor Foraker has made no proclamation, but the solicitor of the treasury has rendered the opinion that the Presidents proclamation is to be one for thanksgiving and prayer, and the day is therefore legal holiday under the Ohio law. But the action of the banks is not determined by this opinion. In Pennsylva- Dia, which has a law identical with that of Ohio, the Presidents proclamation seems to be differently construed general thing. It is claimed that he has appointed only g thanksgiving hour and that there is no reason for the cessation of business for the remain ing twenty-three hours. Governor Beaver has made no procIsmations supplementary to the Presidents and no official ruling has been made. Bank officials are at liberty to do as they like about it.
 This is 6 decidedly mixed condition. The Providence Journal suggests that it would not be bad idea for the governors of the States where nothing has been done to issue proclamations making the day legal holi- day. The suggestion is good one.
