A GERMAN SCHOLAR, Herr Kelb, considers
that he has settled the true date of the cruel
fixion. He shows that there was total
eclipse of the moon concomltant with the
earthquake which occurred when Julius
Caesar was assassinated, ON the 18th of March,
B. c. "A. He has calculated the Jewish cal
cndar TO A. d. 81, and the result confirms the
facts recorded by the Evangelists of the Won
derful physical events that accompanied the
crucfxion. His calculations also show that
on the 9th of April, A. d. 81, there was TO-
tai eclipse Of the sun, accompanied, in all pro
liability, by the earthquake spoken ofin Mat
thew. The mode Of reckoning is verified by
another calculation, calculating backward
from the great total eclipse of April, 1918,
which also gives April 9th as the date of the
new moon, A. d. 81. As the vernal equinox
of the year fell on March 2j, and the Jews
ate their Easter lamb and celebrated theil
feast of the Passover on the following new
moon, it is clear April 9th was identified with
Nissan IA of the Jewish calendar, which
moreover, WIS on Friday, the day Of prepare
ton for the Sabbath, and this agrees with tn
Hebrew Talmnd, so that astronomy, arche
ology, traditional and Biblical history seem Il
unite in fixing the date Of the crucifixion a

The address of the democratic Senators and
Representatives in Congress TO the people Of
the United States 10 signed By All OF those who
were in Washington when IL was prepared, and
sets out by utteripg ga few words Of warning
against the alarming strides they (the republi-
can party have made towards the centr slixs-
ton of power In the b snds OF Congress and The
Executive" and reiterstes the old cry for Gre
forms In the revenue and fiscal systems. )" speak
ing of enormous defalcstions and widespread
corruption" and Of the necessity for a reduc
ton Of taxation. They charge that "under pre-
tence OF passing laws 10 enforce the fourteenth
amendment, and for other purposes Congress
has conferred the most despotic power upon the
Executive, and provided an official IN schinery
hy which the liberties Of the people are men-
sced, and the sacred right of local self aoyesn-
ment IN the States 10 ignored, 1t not tyrannie ally

The people are called upon "to insist upon
Decentralization Of power, the restriction of
FEDERAL authority within its just and .proper
limits. leaving to the States that control over
domestic affairs which Is essential to their han
piness and tranquility and good government -
They refer to "gross and exaggerated charges
Of disorder and violence 10 irrftate the people
OF the Middle and Southern States, but seem TO
recognize that there il som sthing in those
Charges by begging their "fello w-citizens,

attention OF the country from the corruption

public affairs, and the dangerous and profiicate
attempts they are making towards the creation

the validity OF the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution does not appear
