But whatever the Republicans do. I'M
less there is a decided change In the
political aspect. they have no occasion
TO fear the Democrats as opponents in
the next presidential election.-Boston
Herald.
Then they have no occasion to fear
any party; for certainly the Democratic
party is stronger than any Of the epheme-
raj parties.
II President Cleveland would appoint
delegates to the international blmetallic
conference and use his influence 10 have
that conference assemble at an early day.
the whole aspect Of things might be
changed before the time for the meet
ing OF the Democratic National Conven-
ton OF next year. But. unfortunately. the
President cannot be relied upon 10 do
what we have suggested.

EASTER.

throughout Chistendom Easter Is hailed
md celebrated as the queen OF Feasts'
However It got its name. 1t Is forever
Identified with the rising Of Jesus CHRIST
from the dead. And II stands In It's place
while the earth remains and seedtime anu

% testify to all generations the resurrec-
ion OF the Lord Of Life and His triumph
,yer the king Of terrors. And its procla-
nation to mankind is Death hath no
more dominion over you. Now IS CHRIST
risen from the dead and become the nrst
,rujis of them that slept With that an
,ouncement we commit our treasures TO
the earth. looking for the general resurrec-
ion at the last day and the life or the
world TO come.
Death. unexplained and in its terror
G the blight and doom Of life. we can ho'
look in its face and count life worth living
The horrible but familiar fact Is oarA'
n fearful cloud that, like pail. blackens
and withers all our being; that makes JOY
10 pass for madness, and all sober thought
10 be funereal. The relief for unexplained
leath is, madness and despair oHueI II
IS only dimness OF the eyes and anguish
And such was the world before the Morn
Of Easter dawned first upon 1t ana the
clouds and shadows fled away. Life and
Immortality were then brought to light
and forever assured by that greatest OF
all events Of history-the resurrection OF
Christ
That great event was and is the worlds
day-sprlng. Without it all is chaos. and
darkness broods over the face of the deep.
Marvellous coincidence is it that the day
on which we commemorate the resurrec-
ton is the first day of the week. that on
which God said, Let there be light, and
there was light; on the holy Sabbath,
that tells of rest and peace and Heaven.
How wonderfully eloquent, how amazing
beautiful is yesterday. bright with
hopes sunshine, fragrant with the sweet

Their Alarming Frequency In T0wh-H"p- bery of ColoneI | Osborn's k Residonce- -S2OO in Silverwsrs TaiSen'-Extra Police " "rk
 An epidemic of crime seems to prevail in town. and in view of the alarming frequency of assaults and burglaries the police are taking steps to meet the emergency by increasing the day and night details by calling supernumera- ries into service.
 Yesterday morning it was found that the residence of Colonel N, G, Osborn at G24 Orange street had been entered by burglars some time during the pre- vious night, who gained an entrance by a back window which they forced open. They went through the rooms on the first floor, but apparently dld not enter any of the sleeping apartments up- stairs. The floors of the rooms down stairs were streWn with burned match- es. A large amount of silVerWare, m fact, nearly everything in the way CT valuables that could be of use to burg lars, was taken. The men apparently roamed at will over the lower part Of the house and were not heard. Some of the neighbors heard three low whistles during the night, which were answered by the same number of whistles by another man, and then two men were heard hurrying down the street. The burglars went out through the back door, An electric light on Bishop street which shines on the rear of the house was out on Monday night and it is possible that 1t may have roeen put out by the men prior to attempting the burglary.
 In addition to the cases of assault and burglary hitherto mentioned there are others. On Sunday night three burglaries were committed. Henry Blake's grocery store at TAI State street and Charles r. Bastian's butcher shop near the corner of State and Bradley streets were entered, and in the latter place an overcoat was stolen and the safe, which was unlocked, was opened and $50 in money taken therefrom. A back window was pried open in order to gain entrance to the store. Cam pagne's saloon on Grand avenue was also burglarized but little of value was taken.
 Recently also the saloon on State street in the same vicinity, known as the Rochester beer depot, kept by Adam Ziegler, was broken into and the mon- ey drawer was robbed of $6 or $7. Ct- gars were also stolen.

Judd & Co.'S new factory yesterday afternoon, A brlcklayer named John Coyne was going up @ ladder to the second story and when he had nearly reached the scaffolding the ladder toppled over back and the man fell, striking his back on 8 pile of lumber. He was un- conscious when picked up. Dr, Wilson was summoned and the injured man was removed to his boarding house on Colony street, Mrs, Kennards, where upon examination no bones were found broken, but his back was badly bruised and it was impossible 10 find just how serious his injuries were, as there Is a probability of internal injuries, The injured man is an employe of H. Wales Lines x Co. of Mertden and last even- ing very little could be learned about the unfortunate man, except that he is unmarried. This iS the second accident Of the kind that has occurred since Judd's new factory was started. The other case proved fatal.
 The crying need of 8 decent hotel uptown was again illustrated yesterday when "The Cotton King" company at tempted to stay in the present place called Q hotel Several of the members would not stand the fare provided and took the electric cars to Meriden to get dinner and supper.
