Fast Instead of Feast.

Thanksgiving day. 1860. was a memo
rable event in the United States. From
many a pulpit that day fell warning
that abnegation before God was more
fit than the usual enjoyments of the
day. So widely did this impression
prevail that President Buchanan was
appealed to by associations and vari-
Gus persons TO appoint special day Of
fasting and prayer to avert the dread
ed coming Of civil war. He yielded to
the request. and Friday. Jan. 4. 1861.
was set apart to that purpose.

CONDENSED GOVERNMENT.

The concentration OF responsibility

bersome methods In business and in.
dustrial management is being applied
TO State government. The various de.
partments and branches of State gov.
eminent are practically independent
and run according to the ideas OF the
head OF each department. with the re.
suit OF confusion and ineGiciency Rut
the greatest nonsense In State govern,
ment today is the unwieldy dual lcsis
iatise bodies. Many cities have resort
ed TO compact. single council bodies
instead OF the old-fashioned bicameral
institutions. so why not abfly the same
system TO State LEGISLATURES? The
subject Is interesting inst nsS. be

should there be senate and House

Senate Is a more delibcrative body is
mostly fiction. The people can be
