The Garfield law should be abolished,
if for no other reason than to save the
candidates from the embarrassment
which must almost necessarily attend
the filing of a statement of campaign
expenses. The intent of the law no
doubt was good. But what good has
come out of it? Have candidates, as a
rule, spent less to secure their election
since the enactment of this law than
before? 1t does not so appear, only
in the statement.

New York, Nov. 30.-An interesting
study represented by the Thanksgiving
proclamation of the governors of the
several states. They are for the most
part formal Acknowledgements of the
blessings the people have received dur
ing the past year and suggestions that
acknowledgment of these blessings be ,
made to Deity, but few are excep-
tional in both language and spirit. The
longest proclamation issued was that of
Governor Lon. V. Stevens, of Missouri,
and 1t is the most ornate of the series.
He approves of the institution of the
day and its observance by the gathering
together of the members of familiead
long separated. The chief cause fov
thankfulness, according to the Missouri
executive, is that "our common in.y
heritance is the universal bounties of
nature, made up of air and light, rainN
and sunshine, smiling fields, flowin
streams and richly stored mines, ha
not failed u.s." The proclamation
Governor Gage, of California, is t
shortest, as Governor Stevens is {
longest. 1t is issued, according to th
functionary, 'in obedience to the uniT
versal and praiseworthy American GUS
tom of setting apart a day for public
thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty
God and for the performance of chari-
table works; and, further, in conformity
with the proclamation of the president"
And that is all said about it, aside from
the official verbrage the document con-
tains Governor Tanner, of Illinois, is
exceedingly devout in his proclamation.
His private secretary has copy of
q nj fTNft1 Tn \ hfe
quoted literally from them, and the
governor has affixed his signature to
the document, thus approving of it with
an emphatic "them's my sentiments"
GOD save the commonwealth of Mas
sachussetts," is the phrase that is ap-
pended to the proclamation of Governor
