About a month ago the Northeast Wash
ington Citizens Association adopted a set
of resolutions regarding the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio in that section of the
city. Yesterday these resolutions together
with bill which represented the views of
that association as to how Congress should
legislate on this subject. Were presented
in the Senate by Mr. Sherman The bill is
entitled. ITO define the route of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad within the District
Of Columbia and for other purposes"
The bill proposes that the road shall come
into the city on a viaduct constructed on
delaware avenue. Inc work is to be COM
pleted before the LIST of January 1851 or
in. case of failure, the Commissioners are
to tear up the tracks and make the neces-
sary improvements at the expense Of the
company. The present tracks of the Wash
ington and Metropolitan branches Of the
road within the District and outside the
city limits are to be changed so that they
shall unite north of Boundary street but
not infringe upon Kendall Green. The via
duct or raised way shall begin at Boundary
street and Delaware avenue, and extend
along the line of the avenue to it's inter
section with street, thence along its
present line to the depot The width Of the
viaduct is limited to fifty feet and the
number of tracks to four. If the real estate
necessary to carry out the changes cannot
be secured by purchase 1t Is to be con-
demned by three commissioners appointed
by the District court.
A memorial which accompanies the bill
states that the main line of the railroad
by not conforming to the grade established
prevents the Improvement of streets and
building of a large part Of Northeast VAST

THE HOV Sc.

The House met at 10 O'Clock but its pro-
ceeiings were not opened with prayer-the
chaplain not having been advised of the
change of the hour of meeting
Mr.. G. W. Stone (PaD was the first
speaker this morning upon the silver aues-
ton. This question. he said, was too seri-
Gus to justify appeal to prejudice or to
partisan feeling. What party platforms
might have said. what parties might have

sion roll and casting them out. The
Democratic and Republican Congressman
have been equally guilty in swelling the
pension list and the pension agents have
contributed their share to piling mp the
cost Here il is thirty years after the
close Of the war AMI We are paying this
immense sum for pensions. 1t IS wrong.
Coming from n man of the
high standing of Gen. Slocum,
these charges demand more at
tention than if they came from
some recklessly partisan Bour
bon sheet, conducted by some
irresponsible individual who, if
he had reached years of discre-
ton at the time, was a Copper
head during the war era. We are
sorry that the General did not
take time to advance his proofs.
There can be but one opinion,
if the roll be "fraudulent"-if it
has on it the names of deserters,
bounty.jumpers, and of men who
were never in the army at all
and that is, that it must be
purged of all these. 1t must be
a roll of honorable merit, not
tainted with cowardice, deser-
ton nor fraud.
But is the roll fraudulent? We
doubt it very much, General Slo-
Gums dictum to the contrary
notwithstanding. Reader, put
the question to yourself. You
certainly know a number of pen
sioners. Do YOU know one who
is fraudulent? One who was a
deserter, or a bounty jumper, or
who was never in the army at
all? Ifyou do, it is your duty
as an honest and upright citizen,
to promptly file information
with the Commissioner of Pen
sions. The laws prescribe who
can obtain pensions. Ifyou know
of one man who is not legally en-
titled to the pension he is receiv-
ing, he is a scOundrel, a robber
of the Treasury, an enemy to
every honest veteran of the
Union armies. Show him up
without mercy!

Gov. Mckinney, of Virginia,
has sent out an invitation to the
governors of all the Southern
states to meet in convention at
Richmond, April II, to consider
means for inducing immigration
to the South and the develop
ment of her natural resources
There is just one way of doing
this. Have it understood that
full freedom of speech and action
shall be as carefully respected in
the South as it is in the North,
and that social ostracism shall
not be the punishment for differ
ing politically from the Bourbon
element. Thousands of men
would go South permanently
could these things be assured
them.

reported to the Roman Senate
discussed at Athens and Corinth,
and all without being contested
or contradicted as an historical
fact. The Jewish rabbis and
Pagan Annalists, unable to dis
prove, NAV be fairly considered
as admitting the fact by the alb
sence of any denial The fact is
distinctly mentioned by Josephus.
1t is expressly admitted in the
Jewish Talmud, although writ
ten to discredit the claims of
Christianity; and in the Acts OF
Plate, transmitted to the RO-
man Senate, it is officially rcpor-
ted as matter of common pub
lefty and belief. Soon after Pliny
and Tacitus allude to it, and
CELSIUS and Porphyry concede it
as historically true, while by the
disciples and followers of Christ
it was published i'll the syna-
gogue, the temple and the Pre-
forum.
The first preachers of the Res
direction shrank from no trial OF
their cause. They fearlessly flung
themselves into the arena, and
bore themselves courageously in
the grand tournament of con-
flicting creeds. They boldly con-
fronted Jew and Gentle, Greek
and Barbarian. The throncd
opinions of immemorial genera
tions sunk beneath the Divinity
of their mission and the burden
of their message. The thunder
of their rcbuke shook the Aero
polls and crumblcd the temples
of Greece. The naughty Roman
Enperors were COMPOUNDED i'll
their presence. and the jewelled
satraps of the East trembled
upon their thrones. And from
that time to the present, whcr.
ever Death has dropped the cur,
tain of repoSe around an evening
sleeper, the angel Of Hope has
hung her lamp from the Intel, to
gild the darkness Of the night
with tidings of approaching day

even the best of human beings,
sank in death to rise no more.
This JOYOUS Easter season cones
to prove that the gloomy dirgt
of the hoary Moschus was pre-
mature i'll its touching lament
and to cheer us with the renewal
of the inestimable assurance that
the close of life is the dawn O

IS THE PENSIONLLST FRAU DULENT;

is THE PENSIONLLST FRA UDULENT?
General Henry w. Slocum was
a brave soldier in the war for the
Union; since that time has been
an upright and much esteemed
citizen of New York, and Demo
crat in politics. AS everyone
knows, the Democratic press,
especially in the late Presidential
campaign, constantly asserted
that there were a vast number
of men on the pension rolls who
have no business there-who are
frauds, not deserving, nor need.
Ing the money they receive. Now
General Slocum makes charges
OF the same nature. Some days
ago President Cleveland an.
bounced that he would have ap
pointed Slocum Commissioner o.
Pensions, had he not been toe
old and feeble to endure tn,
onerous labor required. In {
newspaper interview prompted
by this, General Slocum used tn
following language,

The great skirmish for the bat
tie of 1896 must be fought at the
Congressional elections in 1894.
The Republican party should be
ready for the fight. The over
whclming victory of the Democ-
racy can only be turned into a
defeat by beginning the work
now. The opening of the big
skirmish is to be at Louisville,
KY, in May, when the National
League convention will meet.
That convention should bring
together the fighting Republi-
cans of every state in the Union,
and the battle should be waged
in earnest from the moment of
its adjournment until victory
comes in 1894.

EASTER.

Next Sunday is set apart by
common consent as the annivcr-
sary of that ever memorable day
on which Christ rose from the
dead.
The Christian Church through
out the world, embracing Chris
tians of all names, will hail the
rising of the coming Sabbath's
sun as the sublime symbol of the
triumphant rising of the worlds
Saviour from a darkness deeper
than that of natures night.
The word Easter is derived
from the goddess Eoster, whose
heather festival was held by her
idolatrous worshipers in April.
There has been slight difference
of opinion in the Church in re-
gard to the proper time for the
observance of this Christian
commemoration. The Asiatic
churches keep this festival on the
very day that the Jews observed
their Passover. But the Council
of Nice decreed that it should be
observed the first Sunday fol
lowing the first full moon after
the vernal equinox.
Whatever difference Of opinion
may have existed with regard to
the time, there has been no differ
ence as to the certainty of the
event which the festival cele.
brates, and the Importance of
the fundamental doctrine which
it supports and enforces. Among
all the interesting facts, varied
topics and magnificent depart
ments of discovered or revealed
truth, few, if any, can claim an
intensity of interest equal to
that celebrated by this commem-
orative season. Take any
number of facts coming to us
athwart the wide waste of re-
ceding centuries, and what one
reaches us so attested and exert
ing such an influence as the res
direction of Christ! What other
event has crowded the mighty
vista of the future with such sub.
lime and stirring hopes among
those who live lin climes that
burn with fierce, or freeze with
distant, suns !"
Leaving in the dark back,
ground the story of the garden,
the cross and the grave, we gazt
with rapture upon the corona
ton splendor of the Prince o
Life. When the dawn of morn
ing broke upon the night watcl
of the disciples, they felt that thu
whole heaven of their hopes was
in ruins, and that the sepulchr'

after, they see the banner of life
