CHR1sTENDoN is about entering upon
the joyoe Ester tide. The celsbra-
tion which tomorrow morning ushers
in the festival of the Triumphant Christ,
who burst the bonds of Death and the
Grave, fulfilled the promise Of His life
and death, sealed the evidences Of His
divinity aud proved as Hehad proclaimed
Himself the Resurrection and the Life.
The Church rightly gives none of its fes-
tivalS precedence of this, for no.fact in the
Gospel was of greater Significance than
tLat which solved all doubts, convinced
the weak, set tinid Apostles about their
work and infused new zeal into the al
ready ardent promulgators of the faith
of Galilee's fishermen and net-makers,
the faith which has encircled the world
without sign of weakness or retroces'
sion. With great fitness, this festival
falls at the season Of natures resurrec
ton, when the fetters of winter have
been cast of, and all the land is clothing
itself in vernal glory. This year, as does
not always happen, nature wears an as
pect and garb in accordance with the
feelings of the Christian world and the
significance of its great anniversary.

OUTSIDERS who cannot understand
the present quarrel between our esteem
ed Republican contemporaries need only
to he reminded that the editor of the
Examiner charged the editor of the Ne,c
Era with having once written a book
called the "Prayer of Love :" the Ne,r
Era retorted that the Examiner hired a
Democrat to furnish "red headed lies -
for his paper the Eraminer rejoined
that in 1861 the editor of the Nesc Era
had two Democrats writing the truth in
his paper and instead of hiring them they
hired him the sur-rejoinder of the Neu
Era is that the main issue in that CAM
paign was that the editor of the Eranli-
ner had betrayed his constituents, vio-
lated his instructions and served cor
rupt combination for corrupt consid-
Grafton; whereupon the Examiner sug
gests that life is too short to
fight the battle of 1861 over again"
With an eminent desire to retain that
reputation for general fairness and fire.
quent liberality which the Examiner has
SO justly conferred upon, JUS we feel moved
to say that this recalls the story of the
viper, who, having previously gnawed a
file, declined another invitation to make
meal on one, as it was indigestible
diet and hard on store teeth.

A Quarrel Over a TrifiinS Matter Results IN
Killing.

a Killing.
Yesterday morning shortly before IL
o'clock, were noticed two men coming
along the sidewalk. The one seemed to
be under the influence of liquor, while the
other was trying to help him keep on his
feet. A moment afterwards the one fell
to the pavement, and his companion could
not lift him. Supervisor Tress went to
assist him. He recognized the man lying
on the pavement as Adam Houser, who
lives on Tenth street, and the other
as Lewis Atkins. Mr.. Tress bent
over the prostrate man saying, ''yOu have
been drinking" "No," replied Houser
in faint voice, 6: Ed. Gummo struck me
with a mold, indicating tho right temple
as the place where the blow was received.
Mr.. Tress and Atkins carried the injured
man into the formers yard and doctor
was sent for. Before he arrived Houser
was seized with Commissions. When the
doctor arrived restoratives were applied
and everything done to relieve the sufferer,
but he did not regain consciousness, and
at about two o'clock died.
1t is said that Houser was sent by
Gummo to sift sand, and on his return a
dispute arose between the men. which ro-
suited in Gummo striking Houser on the
right temple with an iron brick mold.
A warrant charging him with assault
and battery was sworn out against
Gummo. Gummo alleges that Houser
struck him first.

tive " commended to his own lips in the
struggle in the Senate over the confirma-
tion of the new collector whom Arthur
has appointed for Boston over the Half
Breed incumbent and against the wishes
of Hoar and nearly all of his congress

in like manner offended the New York
senators, Hoar stoutly stood up for the
presidents prerogative to name officers
to suit himself and to ignore senatorial
courtesy. 1t will be interesting to see
if Hoar's views have changed since a.

who will likely organize the custom

for senatorial reelection. ...

TAE ROMANCE OF REALITY.

A Berks Csunty 0srl's Infatuat,ou for q
Former Lansaster Collegian
One Of ths psi.eipals in the story pub
liahed IN our columns yesterday, which
told of a young girl taken in charge bv
the police OF Easton, where she was wand
ering about the streets of Easton in a
partially demented state, is we'll known in
this city. The ''man> in the case," Har-
vey E. BsxthOlomsU,- graduated
summer. and he will be remem-
bored as a well-dressed, suave-
tongued young fellow, rather fond of So
ciety, and genuine ladies' man. He was
ooe of the orators of the last DiagnOthian
oommendemeht The following addi-
tional particulars of the romance in which
he at present figures are telegraphed
from Easson, and will be read with inter
est: g
A great deal Of sympathy is expressed
for Miss Rita Laubach, whose strange ac.
ptions in the streets ,hore attracted atte,l--
tion. Mr.. Bartholomew. the young man
for whom Miss Rita was looking ar
rived here Wednesday from Bath about
four O'clock, having driven down. Miss
Laubach had loft Easton, bat by using the
wires Mr.. Bartholomew was able to learn
of her presence in Allentown. He went
up there after her and they returned to
Easton in the evening. About ten o'clock
they returned to Mr.. Bartholomew home,
in Bath. The young girl had been i'm.
patient and through excitement had lost
control of her mind.
The strangeness of the place, the many
iuquiring glances she met on all sides, the
insults she imagined she had received, to.
gether with the absence of the one she
sought, tended to completely bewilder and
upset her. A friend Of the family, q gen-
tlemau from COOpersburg, came to town
in response to telegram from Chief Bur-
rell and called on the girl at tho Mt. Yer
non hotel, before Mr.. Bartholomew and
she left for Bath. The young man is fine
looking, we'll dressed and in all respects
gentlemanly, and those in Easton who
came in contact with him were most
favorably impressed.
The man who Aeme from Coopersburg
was Mr.. John ,Brunner. He had some
trouble in gaining audience with Miss Lau-
bach and Mr.. Bartholomew. He came at
tho earnest solicitation of tho aunt of the
girl, and was charged to bring her home
if possible. The aunt is very i'll, and her
condition was rendered moro precarions
by the young lady's disappearance. The
duuI uAs Inauc u VIII AcaVibS Iuo cS'dIc,
which is considerable, to the girl. OF
this Mr.. Brunner reminded the young girl
and told her further that the aunt was
continually praying that she should come
home.
The girl refused to accompany Mr..
Bruner, saying that she would go home
Saturday. Other persuasions were of
avail in gaining her consent to come home
Friday, but other than that she would not
consent to. and finally Mr.. Drummer with
drew. Mr.. Bartholomew was present
during the conversation and spoke in 4
way showing his attachment for the young
lady.

Who Was He:

Postmaster Marshall has received a
communication from Fitzpatrick Post No.
5S, G.. A. r., department of California,
dated March 25th, 1882, at St. Helena,
California, saying that 4 man died there
and was buried by tho said post, by the
name of John Eimon, who was from this
vicinity that he served during the war
of the rebellion in an Indiana regiment
from 1861 to 1868, and afterward in some
Tennessee regiment. 1t is said ho has
relatives living in this city. The post de-
sires to get information from his relatives,
in regard to his record. A piece ofground
has been purchased by the post in the
cemetery, and they wish to remove the
bodies Of all deceased Union soldiers from
Potter's Field, and bury them with all
honors due soldier Mr.. Marshall will
communicate any information that he
may obtain to the post at st. Helena, Cali

shall be ueeermlned by the Tribunal OF iast
fesoet in the state itself, and Congresswil
have only to receive the return. It is
reasonable that this final tribunal should
be the supreme judicial rather than execu-
tive power, and every state should deter
mine it before the next presidential cleo
tion, for the bill further requires that
where there shall be more than one set Of
electoral votes from any state, and there
shall be no determination of the title OF
the electors in the manner described, only
q concurrent vote Of the two houses act
ing separately can secure the counting of
either set Of votes. .n
WHEN Mr.. Garfield appointed Wayne
MacVesgh attorney general, he played it
fine on the Camerons. They could not
reasonably find fault with one of the family
and yet no appointment from this state
could have better pleased Mr.. Garfield s
Independent Republican. friends. With
the latter Arthur got square when he
called Brewster into the cabinet. The In
dependents could not object to him, though
no one could have been more acceptable to
the elder Cameron. In picking out Chand-
ler for his cabinet the president seems to
have made bolder stroke of the same
order of genius. He recognizes Blaine's
friends, and yet has probably taken the
last man they would have picked out for
recognition. In fact, they seem to regard
Chandler very much as Brother Sensenig
regards an Associate Reformer who slyly
marks the aces in the deck before he sits
down to the game.
DESPITE all that has been claimed for
tetotalism in Maine, a writer in the Sun,
who gives facts and figures to sustain his
conclusions shows in an elaborate article
that under the prohibition system in Mainc
the people of Maine, deprived of the
lighter drinks that temper the habit else-
where, have fallen back on illicit whisky !;
that the trade in int Jxicants is thrown
mainly without restraint or supervision
into the lowest and most irresponsible
hands; that the percentage of drunkenness
is greater there than in the license states !;
that the amount of pauperism is heavier
and rapidly increasing that crimes, espe-
cially of the higher kinds, are advancing
at frightful rate that the death rate is
heavier there than in license states, that
there are more suicides, insanity, idiocy,
blindness and bodily defects, arising from
vitiated stock, in the former than in the lat
ter states, and that the disregard of the law
among the people is engendering contempt
for all law and advancing general demor
alization.

and it is too early yet to predict the issue.
Some new candidates are talked of. but
they are not likely.
For Assembly.
Courtney, Eshleman and Snader, the
former delegation from the Upper End,
will be generally supported by Stehman's
friends. They have "been there" and
wero not found wanting. Snader will be
especially antagonized in his section by
p. NJ. Eberly, whom he beat for reelection
in 1880 by the lightning calculation in
Columbia. Courtney aud Eshleman have
their hats chalked for a through pas
sage.
In the city Hugh R. Fulton, esq.,, is tho
only candidate thus far talked of. Hugh'l
do.
In the Lower End Lands and Brosius
will be on the Nsw Era slate, and Heidel-
baugh and Peoples on the other. A deter
mined effort will be made to beat Lands,
and it may be a tight fit, but Of these
four, Heidelbaugh is most likely to be
lett.

and as Steve Grissinger has not appeared

advantages accruing from the settle
ment now. It simplifes the Legis>
lative canvass. Those who are
opposed to the settlement and who
will go for unsettling the question
again can give their reasons and tell
just what they are willing to pay or
whether anything at all. There
need be no complications, and all
the people will know just what they
are voting for or against.
Some have said they are opposed
to the 60-3, 4, 5, 6 bill simply because
the people have no confidence in the
present Legislature. and that moths
ing it can do will command the con-
fdence and support of the people.
But this is all bosh. What the
people will consider is whether the
measure is right. If they think it is,
they will endorse it. It will be cons
sidered according to its merits and
the source from which it comes will
be forgotten. Even if the present
Legislature were as unpopular as
some of the slow tax" journals would
have US believe, which it is not, if the
measures they adopt are meritorious,
they will command popular approv-
al. The voters of the State are not
mere children, and they will deal
with great public questions like
men. Those who oppose this settle
ment may prepare themselves to
give solid reasons why it should not
be carried out. II they can do this
they will be able to defeat it and
elect Legislature composed of re-
pudiationists. Otherwise we do not
believe the question which has de-
moralized our State politics so long
will be reopened again.
