THE JEWISH PASSOVER.

This evening, at sunset, begins the Jew
ish Easter Of passover. This feast com
memorates the going out OF Israel from
Egypt and the freeing Of the Hebrew ma
tion from bondage. 1t is celebrated OF
the 14th day Of Nissan, In the Hebrew
calendar. Nissan is the spring months
and corresponds to Abb, which is The
biblical term as against NISSAN" the
term given by the Rabbits and the more
popular one. This month has fourteen
days. The feast Of Passah lasts seven
days, the first and seventh being holidays,
the five intervening days half holidays.
Services are held in the temples on the
first and seventh days. These usually
take the form Of prayersIcelebrating the
idea of liberty. The feast OF the Hebrew
passover is the FIRST authentic record Of
ceremonials, based on the principle OF po-
litical and physical liberty. The Jewish
p~entecost, fifty days later, which must not
be confused with the Christian pentecost.
celebrates the formal declaration OF spir-
itual liberty on Mt. Sinai.
The seven days Of the Jewish Passah are
observed by a diet of unleavened bread.
The first day usually sees a family re-
union in each Jewish home, with possibly
prayers In the evening.

Some of those who have been spending
their money In search OF gold, about this
city, complain that as soon as a fair pros
pect Is found. a plumber Of people rush out
and stake Of claims, and wait for others
to do the work, and determine as to the
value Of the ore.
In one particular instance, q few miles
west Of the city, the indications are that
ii a depth Of $50 feet, or more, Is reached,
good results will be obtained. TIE OPTIc
suggests that instead OF eachf0f the claim
holders going down fifteen or twenty feet,
they all combine, and do good work
or, one claim; and then II pay oreis OBJ
tained, each claim holder can work his
Individual claim with more, assurance Of
getting his money back; and, II there Is
nothing In the vein, at q reasonable depth,
| the prospect can be abandoned, with less
outlay to each. All money that is givent to
prospecting should be spent judiciously,
and To- get the most satisfactory results to
each. The claim holders, on any certain
property, should combine, for the common
| good and protection.
| Nv. EsEstes, L. H. Wentworth, and 9TH
ers, Interested In the mines sixteen miles
west Of this city, are highly elated over
the gold prospects out there. Ore had been
sent to the assayer at Trinidad, Colo.y with
instructions to advise by telegraph II the
ore was without doubt good enough+to
spend time and money on. Last evenings
telegram was received from the assayer
stating that the ore was good. and conse-
quentIy the party left for the camp at
onceto go toHwork in earnest.

POLITICAL pIcK.UPs.

No mere figure head will do for mayor
at this stage OF the city's advancement z
The political pot may be boiling, but II
it is, the bubbles don't come to the top.
j. e. Moore would seem to have the in
side track for city recorder on the repub-
lican ticket.
You can't hear a word about any one
wanting the nomination for clerk. Must
be all dark horses.
Harry Wells name will undoubtedly be
presented by the democrats Of the first
ward for school director.
The pops are mentioning G.. M. Adams
for alderman 10 the second ward, and A.
Well in the fourth ward.
They do say that A. T.. Rogers has a
cinch on the republican nomination in
ward four, for alderman.
John Hills name is being mentioned in
connection with the republican nomination
for alderman in the third ward.
1t is the opinion Of many that J. K. Mar.
tin will be re -nominated by the democrats
and endorsed by the republicans in the
first ward. st3. ss
Henry G.. Coors is favorably mentioned
for alderman from the third ward, on the
republican ticket, and w. T.. Reed, for
school trustee. ..
Lewis Lutz is said to nave a string on
the democratic nomination for alderman
in the third ward, il he would only pull il
a little to tighten 1t. .v
By actual count, there are at least TWEEN
ty-four democrats in this city. At least,
they had that many out at their four pri-
maries, last evening.
In the fourth ward, the republican NOM
nation for school director lies between j.
A. Carruth and H. j.. Hammond, of the
San Miguel national bank.
On the democratic ticket. in the third
ward, Nj. w. Browne is spoken OF for al
derman, and Chas. Robbins and A. J.
Aber, for the school dictatorship.
Mayor F. E. Olney is the logical man to
succeed himself in office. He will devote
more intelligent time to the affairs of the
city than any three other citizens put to-
gether.
The communication by "Observer" on
the democratic mix-up in this part of San
Miguel county, should not be overlooked in
this evenings issue. Mighty interesting
reading, it is.
Several citizens whose names have been
taken in vain for the mayoralty by our
democratic friends, nave declared them
selves to be unalterably republican 10
politics. at least this year.
Judge e. v. Long, Willard W. Browne
and jas. s. Duncan are mentioned in,con-
nection with the mayoralty, but strange
to says not one of them will accept the
democratic nomination.
The democrats in the fourth ward slip
ped up in their scheme to send some native
from that ward to the city
convention, and there lire
them up in the democratic ranks. 1t will
be exceedingly hard to get any man who
claims to be a republican to vote any other
this year.
DR.. M. M. MilIigan now seems to stand the
only chance for the populist nomination
for the mayoralty, and he is spoken Of, by
some, as a possibility for the democratic
nomination. However, there Is q sentiment
the rank and file OF the democratic par
", which plainly indicates that II q candi.
for mayor Is placed on their ticket, he
be a DEMOCRAT.

truly says that the man who handles the

THE DnmocsArc PRIMARIES.

a. .
The unbounded enthusiasm OF the demo-
Gratis manifested itself. last evening, when
twenty four OF them missed attending the
athletic exhibition Ia order to hold the
ward primaries to select ward candidates
for aldermen and school directors. and to
select ten delegates from each ward for tho
coming city convention.
In the first ward, a few Of the faithful
met and appointed a committee Of ten to
act as delegates to the convention, and to
select candidates for alderman and school
director. They evidently couldn't find
anyone to accept the nominations In the
primary.
10 the CORY second ward, they did even
better. There they met ut Judge Woos-
ter's office, to the number Of a chairman,
secretary and one lonesome voter to make
the motions. The occupant of the floor
would make a motion, the secretary would
second it and the chair would put the
question and everything went lovely, but
here, too, the difficulty came In again;
they couldn't think Of anyone 10 nominate,
SO they appointed a committee as in the
first ward.
In the third ward, they managed to get
enough together to select a committee,
with r. G. Larimore as chairman, en-
powered as in wards one and two, while
In the fourth w~srd-ah, The fourth, that's
where they did the work! They had at
least a dozen voters there and they surely
were good democrats, for they proceeded
to nominate Jas. A. Dick, a good repub.
licau, who wouldn't under any consIdera-
ton accept q democratic nomination, for
alderman, and then, with a hurrah, they
put in H. J. Hamilton, a w~ell-known pop
ulist, for school director, and then they
dutifully selected their ten delegates to
the city convention, and peacefully ad-
journed. Great are the democrats-four
ward primaries and only two candidates
chosen, one a republican and the other q
| populist!
