WE print elsewhere the letter ad-
dressed by the Omaha packers associa-
tion to the traffic managers of the Iowa
roads made defendant In the complaint
of the Chicago packers of discrimina-
tion before the Interstate commerce
commission. The letter speaks for
itself. 1t gives clearly and tersely the
reasons why no change should be made
in the existing tariff for the benefit OF
Chicago alone. 1t is we'll pointed out
that Chicago possesses advantages over
Omaha and other Missouri river points
in Paying less for coal, salt and other
commodities necessary for the packing
industry. Consequently whatever ad-
vantages our industries may have in
live hogs over Chicago, there must be
subtracted the disadvantages arising
from other sources. 1t, therefore, be-
hooves the railroads to make strong
defense in the interest of the Iowa, Ne
braska and Missouri packers. The rates
that have been adopted and maintained
have been to the mutual satisfaction Of
the pork packers and railroads west of
Chicago, and any change to discrimi-
nate in favor of Chicago would as seri-
ously affect the business OF the railroads
as it would the packing industry from
ST. Louis to st. Paul.

EASTER MORNING.

The festival which is observed to-day
throughout most OF Christendom, in
commemoration OF the resurrection OF
Christ, is OF somewhat uncertain origin.
There is no trace of the celebration OF
Easter MS q christian festival in the new
testament or in the writings OF the
apostolic fathers. AT very early per-
iod it became the lule in the christian
church TO celebrate the Paschal festival,
but n difference spraug up between
christians of jewish and Gentle descent
as TO the time of its observance, which
led to a long-continued and bitter con-
troversy. The diversity Of usage was
gradually brought to an end by the ver-
dict OF the church OF Rome, which
within certain limits placed the observ-
ance OF the cruciixion on Friday and
that OF the resurrection on the following
Sunday. The council of Nice, early in
the fourth century, decreed that Easter
should be kept on one and the same day
throughout the world but said nothing
as to the determination of the day. The
diversity of usage in the observance of
and controversies regarding .. it,
constitute one of the m ost interesting
chapters in the history of the
christian church, and even now the
churches of Russia and Greece, and the
Oriental churches generally, having
declined to accept the reformed calen-
dar, have their observance Of Easter
nearly q fortnight later than that OF the
rest of the christian world.
This chief festival of the christian
church is in its character and spirit the
most beautiful and inspiring. The GER
emonies and exercises connected with
its celebration are such as to elevate the
thought and feeling of the sincere be-
lever, strengthening his faith, refresh
ing his hope and filing him with a
sense of gladness and peace. In the
event commemorated he finds that COM
forting assurance which is the desire Of
all humanity, and which is so potent in
sustaining millions who without it
would "take arms against a sea OF
troubles, ana by opposing end them"
All that will be uttered to-day from the
tens of thousands Of pulpits of the
christian world will be words of cheer
to those firm in the faith, while the
music OF anthem and mass and hymn
will be an invitation to rejoice and be
glad. The sentiment and spirit that
will to-day prevail among nearly two
hundred millions Of people can not but
be fruitful OF good, and in distinctly
and purely religious way, it its inyigor-
ating influence upon the faith and hope
tival has accomplished more than any
or all others for the cause of christian
ity. In the churches of Omaha its OBJ
servance will be marked by more than
the usual interesting and appropriate

TIE death of ex-Postmaster Pearson,
by cancer in the stomach, while not
wholly unexpected, will cause surprise
and regret throughout the country. 1t
is but few days ago that he was sue
ceeded as postmaster of New York City
by Mr.. Van Cott. For number of
years Mr.. Pearson was closely identi-
fed with the New York postoffice, and
when Mr.. Thomas l.. James entered
President Garfield's cabinet in 1881,
Mr.. Pearson, then his assistant, sue
ceeded him. When Mr.. Cleveland be-
came president he retained Mr.. Pear
son at the head of the New York post
office at the earnest solicitation of the
business men of that city. Mr.. Pear
son, during his long service, maintained
that admirable system introduced into
the New York postotfice by Postmaster
James, and retired from the arduous
position with the respect Of the whole
community. One reason OF his not
being reappointed to the Office of post
master by President Harrison was un-
doubtedly due to his chronic illness,
Mr.. Pearson literally wore himself out
in harness. His malady was aggra-
waited by overwork and ovor-anXiety,
caused by the lack of attention paid by
the department at Washington to h is
frequent and urgent appeals for more
clerks aud carriers.

THE question has been asked why
THE BEE has taken no part in the con-
troversy that has been provoked in the
local press by Dean Gardner's criticism
on the Sunday newspaper. THE BEE
declines to take part in this discussion
because it is ill-timed, and has degener
ated from an analysis of journalistic
ethics connected with Sabbath observ-
ance into coarse personalities. 1t has
been an established rule with this paper
never to discuss religion and sectariaI
dogmas. These subjects confessedly be-
long to the domain of the religious
press, and not of the daily press, which,
being secular, must necessarily treat all
creeds and professors of creeds with a
broad-minded liberality. Individually,
ministers OF the gospel may become
subjects OF praise or censure in the
daily press, when they invade the arena
of politics from the pulpit, or start a
crusade against some real or imaginary
evil in worldly affairs. In such in
stances the press treats the minister as
being on the same plane with agitators
who seek prominence or notoriety. Be-
yond this it would manfestly be out of
place for the secular press to. interfere.

crept on
And vanished in the night-the second since
That deed on Calvary. Oh, dire the decd
That made the earth to tremble and the sun
Grow black, while nature turned and hid her
face
In agony and shamel
And now the morrow's dawn stretc he'd up
And hung its ttnid light above the hills.
Through the gray shadows silently, two
forms,
The fearful Marys, bent their steps toward
The place, the followed rock wherein their
Master lay.
One look they crayed on that pale, thorn
pierced brow
A last fond look Oh Him they loved --on Him
Whose love for them, yea more, for all tho

Outweighcd His life on Calvary's top
They reached the spot No hinderlug stone

further provides that if any such person
