1t comes in the early sprIngtime, after the long
death of winter with the story Of new birth and
exuberant life. 1t comes garlanded with
flowers, and crowned with the gladness OF
hope. It's carols of JOY reach many deadened
heart with the promise of better things. And
thus, perhaps, without knowing or acknowledg-
ing that religion has given it its value, men Will
observe it and will feel the spell OF its teach
ings.
And surely the world is more than willing to
believe the message of Easter. Call it only a
hope of life after death, and eliminate from the
day all that is merely sectarian, there is still
left a great and inspiring thought, which men
would not willingly lose. Around that thought
adherents of all creeds, and even those who are
without q creed, may well rally to-day.
Deep down in the heart OF humanity lies the
Easter hope of Immortality, and he would be
but poor friend of the race who would try TO
obliterate or destroy it, Doubtless in many
cases Easter is regarded as little more than
popular worship of music and dowers-a day
when new bOnnets and gay dresses are first
worn but even this view of the day suggests
its higher meaning. And to large majority OF
Christians it will probably continue to be in the
future, what it has been in the past, the Queen
Festival of the year.

4 TURKISH WOMAN QUESTION.


The other day two thousand Turkish women, wives
to distribute, waited upon the responsible Minister,
drove away the guards and police, and were on the
point of charging upon the terrified official when
he saved himself by jumping out of rear window.
So it appears that Turkey also has a woman
question: and that the dishOnored of the founder
of Islam. and doomed for so many centuries to the
vegetation of the harem. has at last asserted itself
in the most practical way possible. and has won its
first engagement triumphantly. This rather
sensational episode may be regarded as indicating
that Turkey is not altogether past recovery. for
there must be some latent national energy when
even q few of the women absorb the spirit OF
feminine independence which is IN the air." and
take upon themselves enterprises which have
proved too arduous for their lords and masters
These soldiers wives may indeed have mbibed
something OF the adventurous tendency which
belongs TO the military profession from their
conjugal associations. but In any case. they have
done what the Black Knight IN IyanhOe" would
have called n deed of dcrriug do" and we shall
vainly seek parallel to 1t short of the exploit of
the Portsmouth sailors wives narrated by Marryat
in which the Port Admiral was referred to in
suoh emphatic but disrespectful language IL is to
he hoped too that the recalctrant Turkish Minister
has been sufficiently frightened to pay the poor
fellows who fight 10 bravely. and put mp with so
much ill-trcatmcnt on the part OF their rulers And
they also will be apt TO take a broader view of the
place of woman in the general scheme, II to her
unsupported intTepIdity they owe the recovery OF
their back pay

up rJsWS IMPLICIT CONFIDENCE


The relation of James D, Fishs mind to Fer
dinand Wards Government contracts forms
the basis # an interesting chronological prop
lem. Mr.. Fish was asked pathetically by ms
lawyer the other day whether he believed thae
the contracts of which Ward was perpetualy
whispering into his ear were genuine. De-
lieved it implicitly" was the response, given
with the fervor worthy of noble cause.
This Is one of the most noteworthy cases OF
implicit confidence yet recorded In history.
Mr.. Fish was the president of prominent
bank, and he was, as he himself confesses, a
general partner in the firm of Grant d ward.
As such. and as man trained in business and
grown gray in financial service, Mr. Fish ought
To have known about all there was worth know
ing concerning legitimate business methods.
Above all this, however. he should have de-
veloped an exceedingly large bump OF eau

Yet where was the dump" when, with all
his experience, he gave, himself over "implic-
itly," as he himself put it, to young MIR. Ward

honorable business man who would have so

human nature, especially as displayed in a
young financier who has burning ambi-
ton to make his mark in the world.
Ward undoubtedly made his mark in
the form of a black eye for every one
who placed " implicit confidence in him. Mr..
Fish, in proclaiming his ever living faith In
Ward, ought, however, to explain this passage
in Wards letter to him of April 20, 1884, just
before the crash: 81 am doing my best and
you must not blame me too much" Was Mr..
Fish losing little of his implicit confidence
in the Government contracts, or had his faith
been chilled because his usual monthly dlyi-
Mountaineering l0,000-were not to be de-
clared with the customary promptnessf Ii
would be an interesting chronological question
as to which of these two causes made such a
dint In Mr. Fish's bump of confidence"

THE DEFEAT AND DEATH OF BARRIOS.
General Barrios has had so much success in his
career that the news of his defeat and death
at the hands of the San Salvador forces will sur
prise many; though his enterprise was as rash
as it was inequitable. The idea of erecting
union of States on equal terms by the simple
process of thrashing each several State into
resigned frame of mind was indeed thoroughly
characteristic of BarriOs, but the reverse oil
practical No doubt he began with hope that
persuasion wonld effect his object, but he was
known and feared too widely for any scheme
having in view the extension of his jurisdiction
to commend itself to the approval OF his neigh
bors. The propositions for federation OF
States, therefore, fell to the ground, ana then
Barrios should have abandoned the enterprise.
But ambition spurred him on and he thought
it possible to seize by violence what he could
not obtain by persuasion.
1t was an audacious and altogether lawless
and brigandish programme, and its failure
owing to the unexpected martial ardOr OF the
San Salvadorean army has brought the whilom
Dictator's stormy career to close ltisprobable
that his own State will not mourn his loss greatly,
for while the reports concerning the charac-
Ter ana ueeuS OF DdITlOS dtc 'ciJ OVH"'N'-
ing. there can be no doubt that he governed
tyrannically and that he was detested widely.
Whether his removal will really be the
beginning of better times for Guatemala 1t Is
not so easy to decide, for in those countries the
revolutionary tendency parayzes all genuine
progress. and makes both commerce and
politics a hand tO-mouth business.
1t is even possible That federation of the
States would be productive of good to all OF
them; bat it must be voluntary federation,
not an enforced one such as Barrios contem-
plated. A time may come when these naturally
itch provinces will evolve settled and orderly
government, and get rid of the selfish and law
less Adventures who have thus far dominated
and almost ruined them; but it needs an inds-
eliminating optimism to form the belief that
even the beginnings of such period are yet in
sight

E1SJER NV


It seems strange nowadays to read that the
date on which Easter should properly fall was
fol long time one Of the burning questions of
the early Church, causing schisms, dissensons,
and even wars. The nineteenth century mind
cannot understand how people should attach
such Importance to trivial matter forgetting
that to those Interested in it, it was mt trivial
matter, but affected some of the fundamentals
of the faith. Indeed, it is perhaps one of the
greatest msfortunes of the world to-day that il
has in many cases inherited from the past
names and institutions of which the meaning
has been almost entirely forgotten. Doubtless
a cynic would say that this is the case with
Easter and that the controversy about the time
of its observance has ceased because all inter-
est in it has died away.
But no one who visits the churches to-day
can accept such q view. On the contrary. it
would seem TO the casual observer that Easter
is being more generally observed every year.
In churches other than Roman Catholic and
Episcopal, Easter flowers will bloom, Easter
hymns will be sung, and Easter sermons will be
preached to-day. This does not necessarily in
dictate any doctrinal change on the part of these
churches but it does certainly indicate that
they attach far higher value TO the observance
of special religious seasons than was generally
current generation ago. There Is indeed to
many minds something inspiring in the COM
mon celebration of some great fact; and this
must always be the strongest argument in favor
of set seasons in the Church.
OF all such seasons Easter perhaps has in
itself most largely the element of i0y0usness.
