AN ALLIANCE THAT IL DISAP.
POINTING.

Tho enthusiasm Which so quickly
sprung up in France upon the announce
mcnt Of the Franco-Russian alliance,
has somewhat subsidized, and the reason
thereof Is THE absence Of infor-
nation as to the real character
Of the alliance. That Is 10 say.
the conditions not having been
made public. the public 1t not Informed
as to whether or not it is an offensive
or defensive alliance, or both, and If
not both. which? 1t is n question wheth-
er IT means that Russia will support
any demands made by France upon Ger
many for the restoration Of the pro-
vince Of Alsace-Lorraine. and if it will
not, then the alliance does not mean
much to the average F~renchman.
1t is important to note what the Paris
Radical says editorIally of the|alliance
wv dreamed of an alliance for
revenge, md obtained an alliance for
peace. We must bid farewell to our
patriotic hopes"
The fact Is no one seems to under
stncd the motives of the Moscovite-one
day he embraces the Emperor of Ger
many and pledges himself firmly to
maintain the peace of Europe, and In n
day or SO afterwards he declares an
alliance with Germany's bltterest foe.
~ he can be true to both Is not en-
tirely clear, though he may have a way
to satisfy both. In the meanwhile the
average Frenchmatl is not SO jolly as
when the alliance with Russia was first
announced.

SIR. ITANNA's POGQTiCAL DEBTS.

Tho question has come up and Is being
agitatcd III high Republican circles, as
whether or not the President should
feel It incumbent upon himself to pay
Mark Hanna's political debts y feeling
of unrest Las prevailed iii the Rcpub-
lican household because of h Presi-
dents course along this line for some
time. and has been heightened by the
recent appointment of one Henry De-
mas as naval officer as New Orleans. It
Brooklyn Eagle. hat prior to the st.
Louis convention Mark Hanna sent Will
liam Mckinley Osborne to New Orleans
for thc purpose OF securing delegates
from Louisiana 10 the national gather
ing n thai in pursuance of hat work
Osborne enlisted the aid Of Demas,
Walter Cohen and A. It. Wimberiv.
These men deserted the cause of Mr..
Reed in the convention and swung the
Louisiana delegation to Mckinley, In
return for which Denas was to be made
naval officer. Cohen surveyor of the port
and Wimbcrly collector of customs.
This nue. is admitted by Senator Han
ma, who says that If the three were
good enough to utilize when needed they
arc good enough to be recognized In the
matter OF federal appointments.
The holiness of this assertion shows
what manner of man Mark Hanna is
and that the political debts he on
tracted for Major Mckinley must be
paid by him, since he Is the beneficiary
thereof.
Just right here, least It may be for
gotten. the public, while not approyin,
the political contracts made by Mr.,
Hanna, should remember that all these
things, pronounced Mark Hanna
debts" are after all the debts of Major
Mckinley. made by Hanna, with tho
knowledge and consent Of McK!nley,
who is. therefore. responsible for their
payment. From all accounts this man
Deinas, who has bocn appointed naval
officer at New Orleans, is as bad as bad
n BIZ. but he is in office and is likely to
stay there.

What We Commemorate.

We commemorate on our Easter occa.
sions the resurrection of Jesus from
among the dead. We regard the event
as the browning excellency of the Cos
pei. In former day God revealed him.
self in types and shadows. But more full
ly and finally in the Divine Logos. Gods
divine energy or power was made flesh
and dwelt among men. and so fully that
those who saw Christ saw the Father.
1t was just as necessary for mans con.
ISOLATION that life and Immortality ian
existing fact) be brought to light SO that
man should see the Father. Hence man
can see in Christ his own risen condi-
ton. So by Christ's resurrection, HE
vanquished death and hell" When we are
sailing on pleasant sea and all around
are moving along smoothly. we seem to
lose sight of many realities. but when the
breakers come and dash our puny bark
hither and thither. then we are brought
to consider our frailty. 1t is in this con-
dition that we need faith in the senti-

Easter a Sacred Memory.
CLINTON, Ill.

EASTER Day sits like center diamond
in the circle of the year. 1t holds the
sacred memory of glimpse of perfect
human victory before US. Easter is the
peculiar inheritance of those who have
known suffering and obedience. The
noblest outcome of great historical
event is the moral change which follows
it. Some one has said that the sublim-
est proof of the reality of the resurrec-
ton, was the moral miracle it wrought
in the character of the disciples. There
are many evidences Of the reality of the
resurrection; but there is none so i'm
pressive as that which was written in
the changed character of the feeble
group about the CROSS. who were to be,
under the Transforming touch of that
sublime event. the heroic leaders and
martyrs of the early church. No one
can understand what Easter signifies
unless this yearly occurrence of the
great festival leaves it's influence in a
clearer perception of duty, deeper faith,
and more lasting Joy in service.

The UpIift to the Eternal.
MANCHESTER, Iowa.

SAID young man once, of one Of my
congregations, on Easter eve, who knew
that ere the morning came his spirit
would be free, when the Easter morn
ing sun shall rise, too, shall be rising
with it,
Not alone to departing souls comes
with Casters dawning an uplift toward
the eternal world; but the souls of all
true believers rise with the Sun of
Righteousness which gives the day sur,
passing light. They feel an upward
spiritual impulse; material bonds loosen
and fall away; earthly environments
lose their magnetic power; the soiled
garments of passion fall off; the grave
clothes Of sin are cast aside, and for a
season there is spiritual resurrection,
that brings them, more nearly than ever
else while in the flesh, face to face with
eternal virtues. and gives them vision
that fades not, but brightens and
brightens from Easter morn to Easter
morn, until they come unto the dawn
ing OF their own true resurrection day.
Easter is the great conservator and re-
illumination of the faith in Immortality.

springing and growth, and it should
strongly suggest to us the possibilities
of the present as we'll as the hopes of
the future. The world needs present
resurrection; a rising up out of igno-
rance into knowledge; out of hatred
into love; out of selfshness into philan-
thropy; out of envy and jealousy into
charity and good will; out of antago-
nisms and conflicts into mutual helpful
ness; out of fear into hope; out of doubt
into faith; out of turmoil into peace; out
of death into life. This is the resurrec.
ton for which the world waits and longs,
and for which all Christians should
work and pray. in the hope that each
returning springtime, each dawn of an
Easter morning. will find the stone rolled
farther away from the grave of human
hopes and aspirations. and the whole
human race rising higher and higher
into the light and liberty of the sons of
God. III. l.. Garfield.
