Easter at ST. PauI's Church.

Never have the people of st. PauIs
church attended more beautiful, i'm
pressive and devout services than those
held during Holy week and on Easter
day. On Wednesday evening the
church was crowded to it's utmost ca
pacity, the holy rite of confirmation
being administered by Bishop Knight
to class of sixteen, carefully instruct
ed and presented by the rector, DR..
Jewell. On Good Friday service was
held at 1890 A. NJ, followed by pas
sion service at P. NJ, when our Lord s
death and sufferings on the cross were
brought home in a touching way.
Easter morning was ushered IN be-
fttingly by celebration of the Holy
Communion at $50 A. NJ, which was
well attended. Morning prayer and
high celebration were held at 1920 A.
NJ. The decorations were simple, and
consisted chiefly of beautiful flowers on
the altar, presented by some Of the
newly confirmed, and several beautiful
memorial pieces. Too much cannot be
said of the music; the programme ar
ranged by the rector had been care
fully prepared by the choir, under the
directions of Mr.. Hawley, assisted by
Miss Ella Brickell, as organist, and was
well rendered. Especially beautiful
were the anthem" Christ our Passover, +"
the "Agnus Del" and the "Benedictus
Qui VENT" All these, combined with
an eloquent sermon from the text,
"Christ is risen from the dead and be-
come the first fruits of them that slept,
made the service one long to be re-
membered. At $3.50 P. M. a carol SER
vice was given by the children, when
offerings for the new white stole were
presented, amounting to some fifteen
dollars. At 7:30 P. M. another attract
i've service, good singing and power
full sermon were fitting close to a
seemingly joyful Easter at ST. Paul.s.

st. Paul's church, Watertown,
is generally regarded as having enjoyed
exceptionally fine services on Easter
day. The altar and chancel were de-
corated with admirable taste and SIM
picity. no floral hall excess and obtru-
siveness; the music was all that could
be desired never better in st. PauPs
church. The selections were melodior s
and pleasing, and were most effectively
rendered by the choir under the able
leadership of Mr.. Hawley. Those most
noticeable were Millard's Easter an
them. which was ''simply grand" Gou-
mods 'Benedictus Qui VENT, lovely
thing and impressively sung by Mrs.
Valerius and Miss Harger. The "Agnus
Dei'' sung by four choir boys, was both
beautiful and touching. Parts of the
music were repeated at the evening
services. The sermons, in the morning
on "The necessity of our Lords Resur-
rection to the Christian System" and
in the evening on "The Resurrection
as Miracle, Defended" were listened
to with profound attention. The chill
dren's EasterChoral service in the after
noon was bright and pleasing. The
congregations in attendance at these
services were exceptionally large.

ORIGINAL rAoKAGr" DECISION

The original package decision recently
announced by the Supreme Court is giving
Congress good deal of trouble. Bills of
a different character have passed the two
Houses, the object of which is TO confer
upon States, by act Of Congress, powers
which, under the Constitution. as inter-
preted by the Supreme Court, they do not
possess. This is reversing the rule by
which the separate powers of the States and
the General Cover nment have been deter
mined. The old idea was that the States
conferred certain powers on the General
Government and that all powers not con-
ferred were retained by the States The
original package decision denies that the
States possess the police power to regulate
the sale of an article which they deem in
furious to the people, but affirm the power
to lie in Congress to confer upon the State
such power The Senate has passed a bill
known as the Wilson bill designed to pre-
vent under interstate commerce the impor-
tation of alcoholic liquors and beer in the
original package into prohibition States.
Under the clause in the Constitution which
gives Congress the power to regulate COM
merce between States, it is held that Congress
may confer upon the State, or reinvest in
the State, power the State surrendered in
giving Congress the power TO regulate COM
merce between the States. The manifest
purpose of the Wilson bill is to relieve the
several prohibition States OF the conse-
Quences of the original package decision.
The original package decision said. in eff
feet, that no State could prohibit the sale of
an article of commerce brought into the State
from another State, but the Wilson bill
comes to the relief of the States and gives
them the power of prohibition the Supreme
Court declared they do not possess. There
is. perhaps, no conflict of law in this action
but it appears that Congress is trying to
overthrow a decision Of the Supreme Court
The legal question is if Congress has the
power to pass a law multiplying the effect of
a Supreme Court decision. Would not the
proper remedy be found in an amendment
to the Constitution, expressly declaring the
power to lie in the States, which Congress
proposes to give them. Such an amendment
would be a Limitation of the effect of the
interstate commerce clause in the Constitu-
ton. a late Washington dispatch says the
House Judiciary Committee has prepared
substitute for the Senate Original Package
Bill. The House judiciary Committee
takes the ground that all property which
has been imported into State and kept for
sale there ought to be subject, for all pur-
poses, to the jurisdiction of the State, and
all persons engaged in traffic within a State
ought to be subject to such rules as it (the
State) may enact Tor the regulation of that
traffic" There is a touch of solid ground
in this report of the House judiciary Com
mittee. The principle laid down is so clearly
indispensable to the government of the
people of a State that the only question
seems to be as to the precise method or pro-
cess of legislation by which that principle
shall be established.

DISHONEST ELECTION OFFICERS.

Our friends Of the 1Hd California seem
to have a great antipathy to the enact
ment of a law by the General Government
which Will insure honest elections and fair
counts Of the ballots after elections. Why
this should be it is difficult to define. In
San Franci SEQ the people do not, in our
opinion, have a fair election and an
honest count of the ballots. There are
systematic frauds, and this the public are
pretty we'll advised of. We know of no
way TO secure an honest election while the
machinery of the polling-places is under
the control of Buckley's lambs. Neither
are our city officials as at present consti-
tuted to be trusted. What then? The pub
lie are prepared to sanction the passage OF
a law by Congress which will cut off the
opportunities to stuff the ballOI-bo1es,
which are now enjoyed by clique such as
exists in San Francisco. Indeed, it Is
a foregone conclusion by the American
people that the General Government will
nave to enact such laws as will put an end
to the dishonesty which prevails at cleo
tons in several large cities. If 1t does not,
our elections Will become a disgrace to the
country. Who is there in San Francisco.
for instance, who does not realize that dis
reputable men control to a considerable eX-
tent the ballOt-boXes at elections and count
tile vote? The General Government should
have its officers present at elections and see
that men are not permitted to receive illegal
votes. or 10 stuff the ballot-boXes, or to
fraudulenuy count out the ballots which
are cast

THE SILVER RESOLUTIONS.

The resolutions passed by the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce represent the
views of our people. While free silver
coinage is the ultimate. the conviction is
quite general that that result may be
attained with less disturbance to values than
would occur if free coinage should be adopt
ed at once. If there is any silver legislation
of this session of Congress it will be on the
lines of the resolutions adopted. The reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Sheath providing for
the stoppage of silver coinage did not find a
supporter. Probably Mr.. Sheath Offered it
as test of the sense of the Chamber. The
resolutions adopted were supported on the
ground that we need a larger circulation of
metallic money. Another argument of quite
as much force is that bimetallism should be
restored. Existing values were determined
by the volume of the money of the two
metals, and the decentralization of either
would cause depreciation IN the value of
all kinds of property. The silver problem
is now in fair way of settlement on per-
manent basis.

CONDITIONS OF SUCCESS.

The New York Times is the one New York
paper which has friendly word for the
citizens movement. The Herald disposes
of the proposition in the following Off-hand
manner:
There Is a good deal of talk nowadays about a
citizens movement. Well, talk is cheap The
glorious Constitution guarantees free speech,
and there is no reason why this, that ana the
other man shouldn't talk himself to death If he
wants to. A citizens movement? Wen, that
generally means a movement headed by poll
flcan who can't get into office by the front door
OF party nomination and so tries TO steal in
through the back yard.
The Times discusses the movement more
intellgently. 1t says the one condition alb
solutely indispensable to success is that the
movement be main tanned as non-partisan In
the fullest sense, free from entangling alli-
ances with existing organizations. People
who are asked to support the citizens
ticket must feel an assurance that in so do
ing they will not be giving aid to one or an
other of the national parties. If there is
any alliance of any kind with one organiza-
ton it will repel voters of the other party
The greatest danger that threatens the New
York movement is, in the opinion of the
Times, that leaders of one or another OF
these organizations will endeavor to cap
ture the movement or compromise it in
such way as to insure its failure.

protest on the ground that he is discriminate
ing against one of her industries, and il
the Roach Company's bid is lower than
that of its rivals the Secretary may violate
the law in disregarding it. He will find
himself In a perpleXing situation.
The embarrassments which grow out of
the transfer Of American industries to for
eign ownership were felt forty years ago,
when Englishmen acquired controlling
interest in the Erie Railway, the Atlantic
and Great Western, and the Reading. The
properties were in this country, subject to
our laws and within the jurisdiction of our
courts. But the individuals who owned
them were in a distant country, where no
process Of an American court could reach
them and where they were not in touch
with American opinion. The anomaly gave
rise to considerable friction. 1t had per-
haps more to do with the chronic insolv-
ency of the companies which were con-
troled abroad than appears on the surface
or than people have generally allowed.

FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF AMERI-
CAN INDUSTRIES.

The news that the Roach ship-yard and
engine works has passed into the hands
of an English syndicate is probably true.
About two years before ROach's death, he
was regarded as man who was worth two
OF three millions. lie was insOlyent when
be died, and but for generous construction
OF some of his pending contracts with Gov
eminent, his family would have been in
stTatened circumstances. The trouble with
him had been that he took too much Gov
eminent work On his hands. On the strength
Of contracts which were awarded him for
repairs on vessels in the national navy,
politicians bled him at every election and
he had not the nerve to refuse them. There
was probably no money in the ships he
built; his competitors took care of that;
but there would have been money in his
contracts to repair ships in commission, if
be could have kept them. That the poll
ticians would not suffer, and Roach, who
was whOle-sOuled citizen as well as a smart
workman, went to his grave penniess, leav-
ing to his sons as their sole legacy the ad-
vice to have little or nothing to do with
Government.
His works now pass into hands so thor
oughly English tina. they might almost as
well be on the Clyde. For forms sake, the
Directors are American citizens, but the
banker of the syndicate is said to be the
Bank of Scotland, and there is little risk in
predicting that the management will be
English. The foremen and chief hands
will probably be imported from Glasgow or
Belfast. and, in the language of a party in
terested, we shall see if the same men, with
the same tools, working under the same
pan fina inc
Oh the Delaware as they do on the Clyde.
There is a possibility of embarrassment
arising out of the transfer. The 'Roach
Ship-building and Engineering Company"
Qimited) with works in the State of Penn
sylvania, a capital OF 100000 paying
taxes in this country and a Board of Di-
rectors consisting of American citizens,
will have the same right to bid for navy
contracts as any other ship-building COM
pany. When the Navy Department calls
for bids for a new cruiser or battle-ship
there is no reason why it should not file
offers. 1t is subrogated in all the rights
and privileges of the late John Roach.
Y ct everybody knows that it will be for
eign concern, operated with foreign capt.
tai, directed by foreign minds, and employ
ing foreign labor. To award to it navy
contract is like giving it to the Lards or to
the builders Of the City of Paris. But the
sentiment Of the American people would
not tolerate that. Whatever else we get
from abroad. we need, on broad grounds of
public policy, to build our war-ships at
home.
Yet the position Of the department will
be difficult if the Roach Company goes to
work and stands on its rights. Its stock
holders have a right to bid for any ship
building contracts which may be going.
They bought their plant and their works in
good faith; they will pay their taxes like
other people, they will be prepared to give
the same bonds as the Cramps for the faith
full fulfilment of any contracts they may
make. If the Secretary of the Navy re-
fuses to consider their bids on the ground

How Some Newspapers Contract While

tinued TO appreciate what they have done
in the way of furnishing fifst-class re-
liable newspaper, one containing the news

increasing the Sunday ISSUE The Cbroni-

and made the declaration that by an in
creased number of pages they increased the

measurement of the amount of matter pre-
scented for one week shows that such is not
the fact and that the representations Of
these papers are at variance with the facts,
and that their claim of % the largest paper"

by the publishers. A measurement shows
that during week THE CALL presented
