Easter Greetings in Greece.

CFrom the New York Tribune.)
The influence Of the Church is strongly
felt by the common people Of Greece.

for fifty days before Easter eat neither
meat. fish. butter nor eggs. but live on
figs, olives. bread and wine. On the Fri
day before Easter funeral services are
held for Christ in oil the churches, and
at the close Of the services the congrega-
ticns go out TO bury Him. Brass bands
play slow music as at military funerals.

candles.
On Easter Eve the square and streets
are thronged with people carrying I'M

night hour. when the Waterman cries.
Christ Is risen,' and lights candle.
Friend greets friend with the joyful it'd
ings. Christ is risen"' and the revly.
He is risen indeed is heard on every
hand. Candle after candle flames out
until squares and streets, windows and
balconies. towers and hOusetops are in a
blaze of light Church bells ring. and the
high dignitaries come out carrying ban
ners, while the priests chant over and
over again: Christ is risen from the
dead to which the people acclaim.
Christ is risent' and for weeks after
Easter this is a common greeting Of peace
and joy.
Lent being over the ovens are crowded
with Easter cheer, and every house IS
filled with the 0dOr of pies and baked
meats. Lambs are roasted whole on long
wooden splits. and butchers go from house

According TO a Madrid dispatch dated
at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, Cen
eral Woodford was feeling happy and
confident that Mr.. McKinleys message
had opened a long vista of peace and
pleasantness. Probably he had not heard
how contemptuously that document had
been received in America, or that its rec
concentrations would be ignored. 1t is
about time this pacifico was recalled.

There is a mistake in this idea as thick
as coat of tar and feathers. One of
these days conviction will come home
to the mistaken ones in a public and
unmistakable manner. difficult IL not
impossible to survive.
We offer these admonitions in a spirit
of fraternal kindness. Whether justly
or not, there is an ugly suspicion loose
in this and all other American commu-
mites that there is treason lurking
about. Let US call things by their right
names for once. There is more than
half belief that violent foreign inter-
ference is being copspired for to thwart
the vigorous action of Congress and the
people. and that the obstruction of leg
islation proposed by the Tories is part
of that conspiracy. Now, We warn
those who need warning that ii will be
the part of prudence not to give the
American public any greater cause than
it has now for considering these floating
suspicious well grounded.

It is a great satisfaction to the public
to observe that the Senate and House
war resolutions do not surrender the
war-malking power of Congress into the
hands of the President. He is beyond the
influence of the American people, while
fortunately, Congress is not altogether
so. 1t is also not a bad thing that our
friends the enemy are showing every
disposition 10 help us along. 1t only
needed something like what has happened
in Madrid to carry the Tories off
their feet and into the safe seclusion of
the cloak rooms. Remember the Maine!

The woes of the Cuban people must be abated,

SPANS chivalry and sense of justice in
which Mr. Mckinley lately had so much
confidence are beautifully exemplified in
the sickening crime of the Spanish Gen

there an American mother today who
would hold back the brave youth of
America from blotting such creatures
from the face of the earth? Remember

interests of the Laboring Man.

Is there laboring man in the state
of Wisconsin who doesn't know that
times are better for him than they were
two years agp? Then wages were lower
than they are now in nearly all occupa-
tiOns' many men were working only on
short time end many thousands were
out of employment altogether, Today
any man who wants to work can find
work to do at fair wages. In the cities
employment agencies are advertising
for help, in the county The farmers are
paying several dollars a month more
than they did in 1896, in the numbering
regions the lumbermen are advertising
for men and are paying old time wages.
This is the best possible argument IN
favor of the republican party. 1t has
done what it agreed to do. Nov let
every man whom it has benefited vote
to endorse 1t and continue it in power,
and the majorities will be oyerwhelm-

Death of Mrs. Thomas SIaftery.

Mrs. Ida BitterS Slattery, wife Of
Engineer Thomas Slattery of the
Green Bay railroad, died at the resi-
dence of her parents, Mr.. aud Mrs.
Henry BitterS, in Green Bay last Sat
urday morning, Oct. %. at 1920 O'Clock.
The cause of her death was lung
trouble, with which she had been i'll
for four months.
Miss BitterS was born in Green Bay
81 years, months and days prior to
October %, 1898. She obtained her
education in that ciUy and always
resided there until married to Thomas
Slattery of Grand Rapids in the early
part Of January, 1896. The Young
couple lived here for many months.
during which time Mrs. Slattery won
a host of warm friends in this COM
munity. She was indeed 4 charming
lady of refined and pleasant character,
a happy companion and helpmcet to
the eStimable husband who now
mournS so deeply an irreparable loss,
To know Mrs. Slattery to meet her in
society or in the home was to be en-
riched by the influence of a sweet dis
position and impressed with an eX-
ample of true WOmanhOOd such as one
must search forlOng and earnestly and
seldom find in the wOrld"Of today.
The news of her death therefore comes
as a severe shock to all, and those who
mourn have the sincere sympathy Of
the people of the twin cities,
Mr.. and Mrs. Slattery resided until
lately in La Crosse. where Mr.. Slattery
had been called on account of his en-
ployment. There is left d husband,
father, mother, and two brothers.
The remains were brought to Grand
Rapids for burial Monday noon and
funeral services were conducted in the
Catholic church by Rev. Van Ross

that harmony does not exist as a result
of those two, he did the best he could.
Republicans appreciate the fact that

Every candidate for office on the
republican county ticket stands before
the people for their suffrage with
strong endorsement from their reSpec,
tive home localities. 1t an evidence
that they possess the confidence OF
their neIghbOrS both as to honesty and
ability. There is nOta man on that
ticket whose personal character can
be truthfully aSsailed. Republicans
you cannot afford to scratch any can
dldate just because you might have
some trivial feelings against him.

principles hence we make this last
appeal. Don't make mistake in
voting endorsement to him just be-
cause some candidate may seem dis

your own manner of thinking?
