GLAD EASTER-TIDE.

Blessed Ea5ter-tide comes again, and
all over Christendom the bells peal
forth glad Easter chimes. From
steepled heights and belfries of the
metropolitan cities and ivy towers and
simple structures of the peaceful coun-
try churches the joyful notes resound
in honor Of the risen Christ, and all the
world over, wherever Christianity
holds sway the spirit Of joyfulness and
the sweet inspiration of the resurrec-
ton morn fills all hearts.
Glad nature, too, owns the spell and
joins in the awakening song; for the
icy looks of winter are broken, and
budding leaf, blooming flower and
singing birds proclaim the glorious
advent of spring. All the earth re-
spends to the glad, new song Of joy and
peace, that, like tidal wave spreads
over the world at Easter-tide.
Fashion, that coy ard tickle maids
whose mandates Iule both saint and
sinner, comes out arrayed in gay attire
that even Solomon in all his glory,
dreamed not Of, for Something new
for Easter" appeals peculiarly to the
feminine fancy. But the Easter bonnets
and dresses are after all, only symbol
of the new life which comes with the
Easter dawn, and fashion is only in
keeping with the spirit Of the day in
ordering her Easter costume.

the election of last November interven
ed, and caused, I believe, a hitch in
the proceedings. These large payments
are net made by shady~individuals or
companies doing doubtful business
and advised by shyster attorneys; they
are made by the chief corporations in
the State, acting under advice of the
chief lawyers in the State. Last year,
Tammany being in full possession OF
the legislature, this blackmailing busi-
ness was thrown directly into the hands
of the ring, and the result was descibed
by the president of great insurance
company doing business in New York.
Formerly, he said, we had to keep a
man at Albany to buy off the strikers
one by one, but this year We simply
paid over lump sum to the ring and
they looked after our interests
Mr.. Merwin concludes this valuable
paper with this paragraph:
"But even if it were extremely good,
even if it did not involve blackmail and
oppression, it is not the sort of govern
ment which we are supposed to tolerate
in this country. Did we rebel against
England, have We declared constitu-

State, who is accused of having pe-
cuaiary interest in this contract, is not
guilty he is philanthrophist of the
first quarter, as he has given freely Of
his time, money and influence TO aid
the favored contractors. There has
been looseness about the whole busi-
ness that would in any properly con-
Quoted commercial establishment result
in some dismissals. For instance, the
contractors agreed to do the work for
one year from July 4, 1893 for $40, 200,
yet with 81 months remaining Of the
year they have drawn $4,000, leaving
only 5000 to pay for that time. Unless
the bond filed by these contractors is
better than anything else they have had
anything to do with there will be a

III addition to being vicious the
Democratic tariff bill is very clumsily
drawn. Since its revision by the Dem
ocrats Of the Senate Finance committee
the Republicans Of that committee.
and the public, have had an opportunity
to study the bill. A Republican Sem
ator pointed out a paragraph which
would, had it been allowed to remain
in the bill and the bill have ever become
law, resulted in tangling up the in
ternal revenue system to an extent that
would have cost the government many
millions Of dollars. 1t would, in short,
have prevented the collection of a dol
lar of internal revenue, except upon
such articles as are specifically men
toned in the present bill. This error
was, of course, corrected.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, March 10th, 1884,
Republican Senators who have hereto
fore conceded the probability OF the
ultimate success of the Democrats in
passing some sort of tariff bill now
consider that they have at least an even
chance to defeat the bill. Although
the committee has decided that the bill
shall be reported to the Senate this
week and taken up for consideration
April 2d,-by the way that date repre-
sents substantial victory for the Re-
publicans of the committee-it is known
that not a single one of the ten Demo-
cratic Senators who style themselves
conservatives, and are styled "kick-
ers" by the other Democrats, has prom
ised to support the bill, notwithstanc-
ing he numerous concessions made to
them by the Democrats of the commit
tee, and some of them will, it is be-
lieved, vote asainst the entire bill, un-
less they can get it amened to suit their
demands. Instead Of the changes made
in the bill by the Democrats of the
Senate committeeman of them
agrinst their will-lessening the Demo-
cratic opposition to the bill they have
largely increased it. The free traders
have been offended and not single
'skicker" has been propitiated.
Many shrewd observers believe that
upon the disposition which Mr.. Cleve-
land makes of the Bland bill for the
coinage of the seigniorage depends the
very existence of the Democratic party
as at present constituted. At least
three members Of the cabinet-Gres-
ham, Smith and Herbert-are so certain
that the veto of the bill would be fol-
lowed by an open split of the Demo-
cratic party that they are doing their
best to persuade Mr.. Cleveland to sign
the bill, as a peace offering to the silver
Democrats in the south and west who
are disgruntled because of the numerous
snubs they have received at the hands
of the administration. Representative
Strauss, of New York, a personal
friend of Mr.. Cleveland, is also working
on the same line. although himself op-
posed to the bill. Mr.. Cleveland has
given no sign of what his intentions
regarding the measure are. A delega-
tiQn of New York bankers are here to
prevent Mr.. Cleveland yielding to the
party pressure that is being brought to
bear upon him to allow the bill to be-
come law. These New Workers have
demanded If Mr.. Cleveland that he
veto the bill, in accordance with the
pledges made by Secretary Carlisle
when he asked them to save the ad-
ministration bond issue from the fiat
failure which it would have been had
the bankers not subscribed TO them.
On the other hand, more than two.
thirds of the Democrats in Congress
voted for this bill and they are demand.
ing that the bill be signed, or at least
allowed TO become law without the
Presidents signature, and threatening
to publicly repudiate the administra-
tion, should the bill be vetoed.
