NEW YORK, April l3-Easter SUNDAY
in Jerusaleml Almost irresistibly these
words carry the thinker back more than
eighteen hundred years TO that little city
OF Palestine where the worlds greatest
tragedy was enacted. and where miracle
occurred which has no counterpart IN the
history OF the universe.
There is an indehnable something about
the Mace which takes hold OF the emotions
Of the visitor and fills him with awe as
he looks reverently at the objects which
witnessed His last walk to a cruel deatn'
and again, at the spot. marked as the
place of the glorious resurrection.
There are houses there more than two
thousand years old, and some OF their
walls of stone were passed by that awfui
procession struggling along to the Mount
OF Calvary. No art Of the word-palnter
can picture the halo of deep antiquity
hanging over the city. The solemnity OF
its age, the grandeur Of its associations
cut a niche in the memory which time
does not efface.

celebration OF the Easter festival Christ

We read in the dispatches yesterday
that gold was being deposited in the
United States and currency taken out,
and that this state of affairs was due to
the fact that the people had confidence
in the ability of the Morgan syndicate to
keep the reserve up to its limit and that
therefore the credit of the United States
was good. This is fine reading, but it
strikes us that the country is poor in
deed when 75,ooo,OOO people are COM
PEELED to have their promise to pay in
dorsed by syndicate of bankers. The
next thing someone knows Rockefeller
or Brice or'Astor, or some of those fell
lows will be roping us country editors in
to indorse their notes. We give notice
now that we will renege if they call on
us with any such designs.

Bikes.

Mays & Grove have added to their al
ready extensive stock the largest and
most complete line of bicycles in the
city. For 500 wheel they have the
Rambler, which is one of the best known
bicycles on the market. It has many
special features and patents, not found
on any other wheel, one of which is their
detachable tire, which is admitted to be
the best tire yet discovered, and which
is now used by half of the manufacturers
in the United States. They also have
the agency, direct from the manufac-
turers, for the celebrated Waverly BIZ
cycles, which are forging ahead ofevery-
thing else this season. the factory hav-
ing already turned out over 10000 of the
'95 wheels, and not being able at the
present time to fill their orders. This
wheel is certainly very handsome one,
and is claimed to be the highest of high
grade, and what is still better they sell
for $50 and the LADIES' wheel for $75.
In addition to these they have the
Chicago Ideals, which are made by the
manufacturers of the Rambler, as a
second grade wheel, are strong and sub
stantial, and it is hard to see the differ
ence between them and the 500 wheel.
These are sold at sos and $65.
They also have bicycles to rent, by the
day or hour.

tanned the startling intelligence that

tage of their occupancy of Corinto to

The dispatch implies that the British
were totally ignorant of the lay of the
country, and were stealing information.
The truth is, there is nothing secret
about the affair at all. The route has
been used, travelled for hundreds of
years, and is open now for anyone who
wants to go over it. 1t is about of a

SOME ADVANTAGES OF SUGAR

The general public has wrong i'm
preston as to the actual advantages of
sugar in the preservation of the human
frame. Harm may be done by eating
sugar in excess, just as the excess of any
thing else is pernic1ous to health. In
the stomach it is in part changed to
Tactic acid; and the latter acts upon
calcic phosphate, and permits their as
similation. How frequently mild case
of Indigestion could be relieved, if not
cured, by an occasional drink of sugar
and water. Do our readers realize the
Importance of a few bon-bons after a
hearty mealI The fatty substances
that might otherwise overload the stom-
ach, then become harmless.
Those who enjoy coffee and tea at
night, and yet hesitate drinking these
beverages, can partake of the same, in
moderation, without fear of sleepless
nights, by the liberal use of sugar. The
recent experiments, previously men
toned in these pages, showing that
sugar increases the muscular power pos
sible to develop during given period
are only scientific determination Of
what is already known. One need only
visit sugarcane plantation in the West
Indies to appreciate that the "niggers''
can develop more work in given time,
if allowed to eat the cane freely, than
during any period of the year. Sugar
has its disadvantages for stout people, a
fact know to most of us, but the advan-
tages to be derived from moderate in
PRODUCTION of sugar, as means of re-
tanning health, is too frequently over
looked. Sugar Beet.

MORE PATRIOTISM.

Last night friend after perusing an
editorial of ours, said to us: "You
Peem to have a prejudice against rich
men" That idea he gathered from the
editorial alluded to, and yet the spirit
and intent of an article was never more
misconstrued. That friend was sadly
mistaken. We recoguize the fact that
there are rich men now, as there has
been ever since man ceased to be an ut
ter savage. We realize that were the
doctrines of the communist put in force
tomorrow, no sooner would property be
divided than the many would begin to
squander and the few to save, and in
side of a week some would have what
the week before belonged to dozen,
and the dozen would be desiring a new
division. The only idea we intended to
convey was that those who accumulate
should be willing to pay to be protected
In their accumulations in proportion to
the amount they owned.
It may be that the world was framed
on foundation of exact justice. That
was the decree, at least, promulgated at
the gates of Paradise when the angel
with the flaming sword prevented our
first parents from re-entering that gar
den where that decree was not in force.
That decree exists today as it existed
then. It was the law, it is yet the
divine law, that man should possess
only that wealth, whether of money,
lands, love, happiness, or any of the
al, Il -
and faithful efforts to earn those treas
ures fully deserved. Man has set aside
this law. Some possess what they do
not earn; but the books of the Infinite
must balance. If they do not earn it,
then some other man or men must.
Wealth is the accumulations of toll, and
if the toiler hasit not, it Is becaus mans
laws, prevail, instead of the first great
decree laid down at the gates of Eden.
That is the trouble with us that some of
us must toll to balance the books.
Is it too much, then, to ask those who
absorb the results of others toll to pay
their full share towards protecting that
which they have received without labor
ing for it? We find no fault with their
being rich, for we are not poor from
choice. We do find fault with those
who are so far lost to all sense of patri-
otism, and who have grown so deludedly
selfish that they shun all burdens. The
back of the toiler is strong and his
shoulders are broad, but even a rudi-
mentary brain would realize the folly
and the danger of everlasting him.
Rome had her redemption in her
hands in Rienzi, but her citizens, pre-
ferring to be plundered rather than sub
NIT to taxation, she fell, the victim of
that very class-the nobles-who, refus-
ing to be taxed to uphold the laws, lost
their all in her fell. History repeats
itself, and it is rapidly humming over
some of the old refrains just now.
