Why do We Have. EGEsp at EASTER

AHtFPRN saWNRttHsA W.
Easter is observed among all Christian
people % the anniversary Of the great
event OF the resurrection Of Christ, He
was dead, but returned to life. The egg
Is taken as emblematiC as return to life,
II is to all appearances dead, but We know
that II placed under proper conditions,
life will come forth from It, The use oil
eggs at Faster was adopted from an usage
older than our era. It was the custom in
very early times to celebrate the return Of
spring by making presents Of eggs.
"Why does not Easter always fall upon
affixed day. Christmas Is always on De-
cember 25th, why should not Easter be
liked with equal Certainty2' Easter must
always be on Sunday, II is not partic.
ular date that is observed, butR particular
Sunday. How to decide upon the Sunday,
gave the very early churches much
trouble, and there were differences on
that account, but the matter was settled
in council held at Nice, in the year 325,
The rule was adopted that Easter day is
always the first Sunday after the full
moon, which happens upon or next after
March 2lst, and 1.-THE full moon happens
on Sunday, Easter day Is the next Sun
day after, This 9 ives Easter day wide
range OF datea, as 1t may occur on any
Sunday from March 22d to April 25th.

now TUE DEMOCRATS GOT IN.

1t will DO remembered that for several
years our Congressional delegation was
Holidly Democratic. 1t is not TO DO pre-
sumed that they neglected any oppor-
tunity to secure Tor their Democratic con-
stituents good places, when there was no
West Virginia Republican representative
in Washington TO interfere. Nor must it
be imagined for an instant that they hest.
tAted in the matter Of recommending
Democrats TO office, and securing their
appointments, in the face Of the tact that
worthy Republicans from West Virginia
were asking for the same places. In this
way the West Virginia representation in
the departments in Washington became
largely Democratic. The few Republic
cans who succeeded in getting places,
were obliged to either go outside Of the
State for whatever political influence they
brought to bear, or had to depend solely
upon the recommendation they could
get from local politicians at their homes.

OF course this was all before the enact
ment OF the present farCiCal civil service
law, which is supposed to prohibit this
method Of securing Office. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that this law has fallen into
"inoCCuOus desuetude" Hnder the present
administration, an occasional appointment
Is made according to It's provisions. The
cases are isolated, however. In the fol-
lowing liat are several ofIice.holden who
are credited to West Virginia, but who
are really Citizena Of other states. The
controllers Of patronage in the State ought
to investigate the matter. II will be OBJ
served that there are very few West Vir-
ginians employed in Washington, COM
pared with the whole number from all
the States. There are about thirteen
thousand government employees in this
city, while only about hundred and fifty
OF the number are credited to West Viz.
ginia. This scarcely Is a fair quota. When,
however, you include the postmasters and
revenue officials, you will find that the
Democracy OF the mountain State is pretty
well provided for. Here are the names OF
those employed in Washington with their
galarieB:
