ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING DAY.

In the seventeenth and the eighteenth
centuries it was common for the King
of England to proclaim a dav of public
thanks for any great public blessing.
If the Duke Of Marlboro, for example,
gained a great victory in war; or the
English Ambassador got the best of
France in a treaty, or plot against the
king life was discovered and frustra-
ted, such proclamation was issued.
And in this proclamation the Duke of
Marlboro was spoken of by name, or the
sin of plotting against the king was duly
bewailed and execrated to heaven for
the privilege of winning advantage over
England's neighbors. Or the occasion
for a celebration might be natural
blessing, the late seasonable rams, "
or the stay of the fearful visitation of
the plague. All these and many more
were considered good and sufficient"
cause for special day of thanks.
No one day was universally observed
throughout the empire. Distances were
too great and communication too slow,
and the Englishman, unlike US, did not
know. year ahead of time when his
Thanksgiving day would be- Therefore
there were in reality three Thanksgiving
days. About week after the procla-
nation was issued occurred a day of
thanks in London, Westminster and
the parts adjacent" all locality other
wise designated as within the lines of
communication and weekly bills of NOR
talitY." A few days later the rest of
England gave thanks, and still later this
example was followed in all the colonies.

cOmicO. The WicOmico Senator said he
would be candidate for the position in
opposition to the Montgomery Senator,
who, all reports few days ago said,
could have the place without opposition
by simply saying that he would take it.
Mr.. Price says number of his fellow
Senators have suggested him for the
Presidency of the Senate and that he
wants the position so he can effectively
aid in carrying out the party pledges.
Among the Democrats at large the
Price candidacy is taken to be declara-
ton. of war from the reactionary ele-
ment of the Democratic party, and
which had to abandon its old attitude
in the recent canvass. Price is a close
friend Of ex-senator German, and at
the last two sessions Of the Legislature
the combination that worked together
was that of German, Biddison and Price.
Now German and Biddison are out of
the Senate and the reactionary element
are expected to rally to the Price stand
ard. 1t is plain that the Smith Mahon
machine, as represented by Price, does
not want Lee under any circumstances,
and that the talk of Lee for the next
Governor" heard in the campaign and
shouted by the German people was only
a bluff to keep the Lee followers in line
for the whole ticket.
