THE DATE OF EASTER.
Why 1t Is Sometimes Early and Mt
Other Times Late.
Phlladelphia Record)

tfnlladelpnld KtcOfu)
The date of Easter is determined by the
ecclesiastical calendar of the Catholic
Church. 1t is very complicated and
elaborate affair, invented by illus, a
Neapolitan astronomer and sage, under
Pope Gregory MIL, at the close of the
sixteenth century. 1t would be useless
to tax the brains Of modern readers
with the abstruce calculations by which
the date Of Easter is determined. but a
few general rules might be given for
their enlightenment
The regulations of the Council Of Nice
are four-first, Easter must me cele-
brated on a Sunday; second. this Sunday
must follow the 18th of the paschal moon;
third. the paschal moon is that moon
whose 14th day falls on or next follows
the day of the vernal equinox; fourth. the
equinox is fixed invariably in the calen-
dar on the Dist day OF March
This calendar moon, ii should be re-
membered, is not the moon of the heavens
nor yet the moon of the astronomers, but
il is an imaginary moon created for
ecclesiastical convenience. From these
conditions it follows that Easter Sunday
cannot happen earlier than the 22d OF
March nor later than the 18th Of April.

THE demand for a reduction of the sal.
aries paid to state officers is not limited
to the Burlington county farmers who
furnished the argument for it. nor are
they limited to few of the principal civil
appointments.
The tendency of previous eras has been
to level up or equalize State salaries until
they are now among the highest paid by
any State of the Union, and much higher
than they ought to be-
This is true of all salaries from the gov
ernor down to the clerkship.
Ten thousand dollars is too much to paw
for any such service as is rendered by any
governor.
The salaries of the justices of the Su-
preme court of the Circuit court justices
and of the law judges of counties are
greater than are paid for equal services in
any State in the Union or by the United
States, except, perhaps, the Supreme
Court of the United States. These saIar-
les were created by lawyers for lawyers
upon the legal fiction that it would be diff
fcult to hire as good lawyers for less mon
ey; and this assertion has been made in
the face of the fact that good lawyers are
always candidates for the positions, and
that it is impossible to dislodge any in
cumbent without shocking his affections
and seeming to injure him personally.
The salaries of the department officers
are too high for the services rendered,
because those services under existing
methods take but part of the time, and
the salaries are merely supplementary to
other business enterprises.
The fact that these salaries are not lev
led directly upon the people in the shape
of property tax, does not lessen the pres

Public Hearing.


Assemblyman Derousse's bill authoriz-
ing the state and counties to acquire turn
pike roads for free public use was given
hearing before the House Committee on
Agriculture Wednesday. The bill pro-
vides that the Governor shall appoint FIVE
Commissioners from the county or couu-
ties in which said road is located, upon
petition being presented to the State Com
missioner of Public Roads by two-thirds
of the property owners living on the line
of any road desired to be acquired for free
public use. The Commissioners when ap-
pointed, shall estimate and determine the
fair and just value of the road in question,
and the franchises of the corporation
owning the same and when they shall
have arrived at figure satisfactory 10
themselves and to the corporation owning
the road, the matter must be ratified by
the Road Commissioner and reported to
the Board or Boards of Freeholders of the
counties through which said road runs.
The Freeholders, in their discretion, may
then purchase the road, being empowered
to make temporary loans for the acquire
ment of the said roads, One-third of the
cost of all roads so acquired shall be paid
out of the State Road appropriation and
the remaining two-thirds by the county in
which the road lies. The county or coun-
ties affected will thereafter keep the road
in repair
This measure particularly affects South
Jersey, and a delegation from Burlington
and Camden counties appeared before the
committee in favor of the bill They rep
resent a majority of the property-owners,
who are heartily in sympathy with the
BILL The turnpike companies, too, are in
favor of its passage, these companies hav-
ing been Improbable investments for
several years past, owing to the nearby i'm
proved roads. There is nothing in the
bill, however, which forces the toll road
companies out of existence, if they prefer
to continue business.
George Jessup, of Burlington county
Alexander Wood, of Camden, treasurer of
the Esterbrook Pen Company; Joseph
Evans, of Medford; Assemblymen De-
rousse, Borton and Wildes, Senator Parry
and State Commissioner Budd spoke in
favor of the bill. They all agreed that
toll roads were out of place at the end of
the nineteenth century, and should be
abolished. The bill will be reported early
this week.
