Out from the jcwelcd cast aclow
Comes now to end the days forlorn,
Past ebbing fields Of ice and snow,
The never failing Easter morn.
The sky is filed with portcnts dear,
And carols Of the birds are meet;
The blackered fringe of ycster year
By lily cups and blossoms sweet
Is brushed aside; the north wind fees
And over hill and dale and glen
The rosy boughs Of bou:seoning trees
In the spring sunshine glcam again.
The sparrow pipes his futed song
To call the pink ancmone,
And the loosed runnel leaps along
With Joy to greet the sounding sea.
So to world Of weary care
The Masters crown of lilies white
Comes to eliminate despair
And put the promised life in sight.
With hints Of that far Syrian sky
Under whose blue lifc's hope was born
Fast as the circling ages fly,
Returns the wondrous E@ster morn.
Bring lilicd wrcaths and garlands fair
May faith abound and love increase,
And the transfgured earth declare
Millcnnial joys and endless peace!

| Cleveland Hugs the Delusion That
He's Bigger Than His Party.
New York World.
Washington. March 25.-If Grover
Cleveland declines to be a president
i'll candidate it will not be because of
any fear that lie would fail of cleo
tl0n.
The President believes with all his
heat tat the nominees of the Dem
ocracy Will bc elected next fall if
| Cleveland men are named on Cleve-
land platform. If the Democratic
party departs, il men and principles,
from the course he has marked out,
then, and not ill thcn, will the heart
OF Cleveland entertain q doubt Of
Democratic success. This is exactly
how til" President feels.
The reason is easy to explain. Mr..
Cleveland today, as III 1891. has alb
SolCte confidence in himself. He has
always looked upon himself as a ''mun
Of destiny" Convinced of the just
ness Of lis cause and the soundness
of lis policies, be believes, has ever
believed and apparently always will
believe, that the people are with him.
4 doub has never entered his mind
that in the hearts of the people there
is the slightest mi<trust of him.
And there arc reasons for his faith.
The siDgulaiity of his political CO.
rcer has established it, if it did not
give it birth. The recent reverses of
lis party, far from shaking it, have
confirmed it. TO Mr.. Clevelands
mind those rcverses have been but
clastisements inflicted upon those
party leaders who have rejected the
Presidents corrsels or opposed or
defeated his policies. Therefore, in
lis opinion, so called Democratic de-
feats Lave been, il fact, Cleveland
victories.
The Democratic party in 1893
only a year after the Democratic tidal
wave which carried Mr.. Cleveland
into tie White House-suffered
seIies Ct reverses. TIE President
had hoped for victories as a reward
for his Efforts TO calm the business
troubles By ending the purchase of
silver. When the returns came in
he saw in them only the punishment
OF the Democrats who had opposed
his will, and arenewal of the peoples
expression of confidence in himself.
When the returns were coming in,
those around the President said in
one breath: "This takes Mr.. Hill
out OF the race for ;96 and puts you
in it,"
There were Democratic reverses in
every State, whose Democratic Sena-
tors "heil up" tariff reform and had
compelled tho enactment Of a tariff
bill which SIR Cleveland has charac-
teiiz"d as representing party per-
iiy and Gishonor." To the President
til" wrath Of the people was visited
upon these Democratic Senators in
testimony Of the peoples devotion to
himself
Last years election confirmed tie
impression in the Presidents mind
that the plain voters Of the land
were bent OF irhic:ing severe punish
mclt On the Democratic party for its
failure TO follow Mr. Clcyclald. The
victories Of the Republicans in Mary
land and Kentucky were SO inter-
pleted. In che case German was
whipped and in another the free sill
Vel bnlters were defeated.
IL view Of the facts Mr. Cleveland
finds thai his own nomination. or
that of one Of bis friends. and on a
platform Of his choice would be vel
conod by the country with favor.
