The resurrection of Jesus is the crown
ing proof that He is the Son of God. IL
He could not conquer death, and come
back from Heaven, He could not prove
that at the first He came from Heaven.
1t is the proof of immortal life beyond
the grave; that death does not end all,
but the soul lives after the body dies.
1t gives largeness and broadness TO
life, everything we are and do having
an influence and meaning beyond the
grave.
1t teaches the moral resurrec ton,
that, being dead to sin, we shoula be
alive unto God

One of the leading Moham medan cit

Tyabjee, has long taken the lead in
the question of female education He
has bestowed on all his daughters an
education that fits them to take their
place among their English sisters in

his household, the wife of Mr.. Abar
Tyabjee, Judge of the Bardoda high
court. can boast of being the first Mo-

if all Mohammedan gentlemen were to
follow Mr.. Tyabjee's enlightened ex-
ample and educate their daughters to
keep pace with the educated young
men of the rising generation. fourteen

Why the United States Does Not Interfere
in the Nicaraguan Afair-LOOking for

WASHINGTON, April 2E-As an ex.
PLANTATION of the refusal Of the admin
istration to entertain Nicaragua's APP
peal FOR protection against Great
Britain, it is now learned that the
United States is reserving its energies
30 as to deal with the Venezuelan
question becomingly when the crisis
there. which cannot much longer be
averted. is reached. The British gov.
eminent has been given to I'M
derstand that the United States
does not take issue with it as to the
right to exact an indemnity and reason
able reparation from Nicaragua, con-
sidering the gravity of the offense
committed by the Nicaraguan govern
ment in expelling a British official and
British subjects from Nicaragua in de-
fance of all principles of international
law and comfy. The fact that the
Americans who were expelled at the
same time by the Nicaraguans were
afterwards voluntarily permitted to
return to the country has not in any
degree served to palliate the offense
committed against Great Britain, and
against civilization, in the eye of the
state department In consenting to
the execution of the British programme
in Nicaragua. however, the state de-
partment was very careful to give full
notice that it should not permit the
British to annex foot of Nicaraguan
soil, nor to interfere with the repub-
lican form of government there.

GOVERNMENT SEEDS.
Secretary Morton Opposed to Their DIstri-
button by congressman.

button by congressman.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Secretary
Morton thinks he has found way to
break up the congressional custom of
scattering millions of packages of
garden seeds all over the country. He
is now considering whether it will be
expedient to make the fight for reform
and dare the wrath of statesmen, who
favor the garden seed distribution.
The secretary has collected evidence
of the misuse of the seed privilege, but
he recognizes that it will be a severe
struggle to wrest from congressman
any of their perquisites.
During the last congress Secretary
Morton asked that less money be ex-
pended in purchasing seeds, and that
he be given an appropriation for the
distribution of farmers bulletins that
would contain information of practical
value. Congress gave him this appro-
priation, but chung to that for seeds
also. But when the language of the
appropriation comes to be critically
examined. an opening seems to present
itself for carrying out Secretary Nor
toms views The appropriation
reads: "For the purchase, propa-
CATION and distribution, as re-
quired by law, of valuable
seeds. bulbs" etc. Then comes a pro-
viso which explicitly states that there
shall be no diversion of this appropria-
ton, but that it shall be used for the
purchase, etc, of improved and valu-
able seeds" According to the sections
of the statutes. all of which are still
unrepealed, the secretary will be justi-
fed in restricting the appropriation to
the purchase of rare and valuable seeds,
as expressed in the language of the
statute, and refusing to purchase the
hundreds of tons of ordinary garden
seeds, such as have been distributed
wear after year.

Attorney LangstOn Determined That
France Shall Pay for Alleged Outrage.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Ex-Congress-
man John NJ. Langston, the attorney of
ex-Consul Waller. who is imprisoned at
st. Pierre by the French, is determined
to push the case with all the power he
possesses. 'ln the first place" said
he, I'VE propose to maintain the con-
cessions obtained by Mr.. Waller in
Madagascar. The whole purpose of
the prosecution and persecution of
Waller by the French government
was TO despoil him of the concessions
he procured. The French government
realizes the concessions are of immense
value. Then we intend to force the
French government to pay to Waller
an indemnity commensurate with the
persecution he has undergone. He
was given a mock trial, was threatened
and finally conveyed in irons to
France, where he now lies in prison
awaiting a civil trial.
