GOOD FRIDAY.

Tomorrow in all Catholic churches,
including the Roman and Anglican
branches of the church in America
there will be solemn services
appropriately observing the day as one
of mourning and repentance in COM
memoration of the crucifction of
Christ. While we celebrate his birth
day by festivities, it seems eminently
proper to make the crowning act Of his
life an occasion to be remembered with
yeneration, and an abiding sense of
gratitude and worship. 1t is meet that
christians all over the world whether
in church or out of church, whether
making outward profession or an in
ward confession should join in making
this one day, Good Friday, holy day,
holy, not merely in ritualistic obser
vances, but holy as memorable by its
individuality as commemorative of the
highest traits of divine character ex
emplified in the love that would lay
down life and suffer to the EXTREMIST
reach of physical and mental en-
durance for humanities needs. In
England and Ireland Good Friday is by
law a DIES NON and all business is sus-
pended. In the United States many of
the states have made ita legal holiday
and the sentiment of making 1t a
national holiday is gaining ground
among christians and humanitarians
generally.

After a lingering illness of several

FAILURE IN LIFE.

If temperance lectures illustrated by
living objects. and followed out by
tragic deaths were needed, to make a
reformation iE our midst, the past
winter has been prolific of realistic
sermons.
Several times have our citizens been
called upon to assist in the last sad rites
of burial, where the very flower of
manhood was laid away with that one
word Failure written on it's brow.
If twenty years ago the opportunity
were given to pick out those who by
natural gifts, and outward circumstances
would reach high place on the ladder
of life's successes, some at least Of those
who have gone down in saddest of all
failures would have ken among the
chosen. Verify we know not what a
day holds.

PLANS FOR THE PLANT.
OF the Grand Rapids Pulp and Paper
Company.

The stock holders in the above COM
pany met at the First National Bank in
this city the past week and re-organized
increasing the capital stock to s2O0, 900
and elected Nlessrs. Henry Sherry,
Chas. Howard, and Nels Johnson as
additional directors. The plans were
submitted and accepted The Appleton
Post furnishes us the following parti-
culars:
''The architects Messrs. O'keefe &
Orblnson, have completed the prelimi-
nary drawings for the paper and pulp
year on the Wisconsin river bv the
Grand Rapids Pulp and Paper Com
paEy. A crib dam 800 feet long filled
with stone will be constructed across
the river furnishing a fourteen foot head
of water. The plant will use about
2o00 horse power. AS shown by the
plans the dimensions of the various
buildings will be as follows: Wood pre-
pairing room, 4Sx56 feet; grinder room,
1O4x7O feet; rag engine room, 7Ux116
feet, rotary room, 40X70 feet; rag room,
COMO feet; machine room, 70xl6S feet;
finishing room, 56Xl00 feet; boiler house
46X52 feet. There will be high brick
smoke stack. The buildings will be one
story and basement, except the ma
chine room and rotary room, two stories;
and the rag room, three stories.
The machinery will consist of three
wet machines, eight pulp grinders, ten
1,0O0 pounds engines, two rotaries and
two paper machines more than 100
inches wide. The mill will make print
and machine finished book papers.
There will be fifteen water wheels
placed in stone fumes. The construc-
ton will be the best in every way and
work will be commenced practically
immediately

EASTER.

Easter will be quite generally OBJ
served in our city churches by special
services and elaborated musical pro-
grams. In the Catholic, Lutheran
Moravian and Episcopal churches ap-
propriate collects and prayers will be
said, and emblems displayed commem-
orative of the resurrection. The teach
ings of the day Will be in accordance
with old and established usage, though
simple, and in keeping with the charac-
ter of our churches.
An elaboration in the musical pro-
gram, and more or less of decoration
with flowers, plants, and altar cloths
will constitute the easter decorations
Orthodox as we'll as Catholic observe
the day with all pertaining to it as 9
special day of rejoicing.
In the larger cities costly decorations
and elaborate ceremonials, and all the
pomp of professions, and forms, and
beauty CT ritualistic observance are not
wanting, and the multitudes fill every
available space to get a look at the
unusual magniicence. The Jews cele
brated Easter as the day which under
the guidance of Moses they were de-
livered from the bondage in Egypt
Christians celebrate the day on which
under the guidance of Jesus, The Christ
they were liberated from the bondage
of sin and death aud assured of the
promise of resurrection and eternal life
As year after year the observance
grow in elegance and elaborate ceremo
NAL, one is led to realize that the
religious veneration for the divine
character is not wanting. 1t is
significant and striking reversal from
the times when, though the foxes hat
holes and the birds of the air had nests
but the Son of God had not where t.
lay his head

PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY.

Why are you sending your money out
Of town to buy an article which you can
get as we'll at home. The -four manu-
factured in your cities is just as good as
any you can get from Minneapolis or
any city in the west. The gentlemen
interested in the milling business here
have at all times and are now try
ing to build up industries in the
twin cities; and have never failed by
their energy and money to assist in any
scheme looking to the welfare thereof.
Do not try to pull down what you al
ready have. Give the milling industry
fair show as long as you lose no mon
ey by doing so. This is worthy of your
consideration.

PARDONED PRISONERS.

Governor Peck has extended execu-
tive clemency to forty-siX persons,
recommending pardons, during his first
term of office. Four of these were for
larceny, five for forgery, seven for
burglary, three of whom were from
Wood County, six for criminal assault,
and four for murder, other offenses in
propOrtionate ratio. In each instance
he has given his reasons for the grant
ing of the pardons, and while the
mercy of the clemency is unquestioned,
one can not but wonder if the intent of
the law has been fulfilled Surely we
ought, as humane and just people, to
condemn no man to disgrace, and a
felon's cell without serious cause and
proof, and a deliberation tempered with
mercy.
If, after fair and impartial trial,
after conviction and sentence have been
passed, it seems as if mitigation of
that sentence, or an undue sentimental
lty is unwise and conducive of con-
tempt for our laws. The sentence ought
not to be excessive, or beyond the
deserts of the case, but once pronounced
should be carried out unless some new
evidence is brought forward to show
that the sentence was unjust.
The hope of a pardon robs prison life
of much of its terrors, and in the hope
of suppressing crime rigid and undev1-
ating obedience to the mandates of the
law seems to be "a consummation most
devoutly to be wished"
