 AS we, in a retrospective mood, review the work of our Easter edition, which is presented ts our readers today one week in advance q that glorious Christian festival, we believe it can be truly said that lit is well done
 For the purposes of this edition the Sunday morning daily and the Saturday Semi Weekly are com bined in one, which fact will ac- count for the re-appearance of several articles in this edition from previous issues of the daily, and which are an indispensable part of the weeks news. Thus do we treat our city and country readers alike, giving our subscribers, one and all, handsome Easter paper which they can carefully put away as a souvenir of the annual event, CT send with pride to their friends.
 The edition consists of twelve pages, all of which are filled with choice reading matter and illustra- tions- Indeed, we believe that the publishers and the public can alike felicitate themselves upon the beau ties and merits of the Easter-tide effort. The people expect much of the GRAPHIC, and as far as it lies within it's limited field and power, the GRAPHIC will earnestly endeavor not to disappoint them.
 If this edition shall give joy and pleasure to our subscribers, it's pub fishers will feel amply repaid for the time, labor and expense required in the issuance of the same.

ELSEWHERE in tnls issue we pub fish a letter from Mayor-elect Bell to the GRAPHIC, in which he outlines the policy of his administration, which will be inaugurated tomorrow night. His letter has the right ring about it and indicates an energetic, progressive and business-like admin istration of city affairs. 1t will be observed that Mr. Bell declares un- qualifiedly for a new City Hall and city jail, two public improvements of which the city stands in sore need. The present City Hall Qf it can be so calledl is very unsightly and is entirely out of harmony and keeping with our majestic court house, magnificent Merrill Institute and other public buildings. It will, therefore, be a source of gratifca- tion to all our citizens to know that 2 new City Hail, of credit to the city and in keeping with it's sur roundings, is an early possibility. It will furnish work for our mcchan- ics and artisans, adorn the city and serve a great public need. In all his efforts at public improvements, Mayor Bell will have the hearty CO.,  operation and support of the GRAPHIC.
