Easter Dates.

/ An industrious collector Of statis-
tics who has been investigating the
subject has gathered some interesting
facts regarding the variable times of
this festival. In 1888 and 1891, he
says, Easter fell on the unusually
early date of March %, but in the
three following centuries it will occur
only eight times on that day, namely,
in the year 1861, 2035, 2O46, 2O57,
21O3, Ola, 2l25 and 2l9S.
The earliest date on which it can
fall is March %, and this only when
the moon is full on q, which must
be a Saturday. This combination
of circumstances is extremely rare; 1t
occurred in 1890, 1761 and 1917, and
will happen again in 1890, 2O76 and
2l44, while during the three centuries
following this last year it is not once
destined to fall on so early date.
Going to the other, Easter never
comes later than April %. 1t is on
record as happening on this date in
1866, 1874 and 1886, and in the next
century will reach it only once-in
1913.

The DeLaWGreaR regrets the loss of
leaders of the Democratic party in
Delaware, from one cause or another,
and is booming Willard Salisbury,
ESQ.,, of Wilmington, for this position.
The DeLaware Democrat, of George
town, takes somewhat different view.
1t says:
"What the Democratic party wants
is organization under the control of
not one single leader, but one of the
best men of the party in each county.
Men everywhere must be placed in
command who have the confidence and
respect of all people, not only of Dem
ocrats but Republicans. Men must be
nominated for Office who enjoy like
confidence and respect, and platforms
should be adopted that not only meet
the honest views of the voters but
which will be carried out if the party
succeeds in gaining power.

THE "speck of war" between Eng
land and the Transvaal Republic in
South Africa has grown steadily in
dimensions until the knowing ones in
both those countries do not see how it
can be settled without clash of arms.
England cannot at present put more
than 20, 900 soldiers in the field, while
the Dutch Beers, with the aid of the
Free Orange States, in the next month
could have many more troops in the
field. Queen Victoria is opposed to
war, and it is hoped, it may yet be
averted by diplomacy.

The National Export Exposition,
opened at Philadelphia, Thursday,
an account which is given elsewhere in
this edition.
The purpose of this exposition is to
spread knowledged of our agricultural
and mechanical industries and pro-
ducts throughout the markets of the
world, and thus extend and increase
our exports. Already these has grown
to enormous amounts, the. increase in
our expectation of manufactures being
especially great; but this volume can
still be multiplied speedily, for the
superiority of American methods OF
manufacturing gives us an advantage
in competition with foreigners which
only needs to be better understood by
the. outside world to create such a de.
mand.
Accordingly, notable feature of the
Philadelphia Exposition will be an in
dustrial congress, to which have been
invited representatives of trade organ
izations in every country, and the in
yitation has been accepted by more
than a thousand such delegates. They
will see by practical demonstration
the superiority of our American pro
cesses and products.

A MEETING, important in that it was
in opposition to the disastrous Trusts,
but much of the time without enthus
iasm, was held in Chicago last week.
The claim was made that politics,
from three different standpOints, ex-
listed among the delegates, but the in
tention to head off the trusts was ap-
parent from the mild as well as radical
delegates.
In his address, Governor Atkinson,
of West Virginia, emphasized one
phase of the trust question which will
probably assume Importance in the
ultimate settlement of the problem.
"There are labor trusts" said Gov
ernor Atkinson, ''as well as capital
trusts. l wish to place myself on
record against both, and especially so
when the demands of either or both
are not in accord with the established
rules of political economy and common
sense and common honesty between
man and man." Evidence is not lack
ing that the trusts do not intend to be
legislated out of existence without
dragging the labor organizations down
with them, if possible. Their argu-
ment is practically that of Governor
Atkinson-''We are not the only mo-
! nopolies. If we control the market
for our products, the labor Organiza
tions have been formed for similar
: obiect-to control the labor market
1t is not possible to destroy one with
D ont attacking the other" This argu
t ment is not new One-it has beer
: presented before not only by cham
S piOns of the trusts, but also by SOM
o labor leaders.
While there may be some degree O
soundness in this contention, it vii
d scarcely be accepted as a safe rule il
o determing the relations between ag
d gregations of capital and combination

t. Socialists are inclined to looked wit
o favor upon the trust idea, not becaus
Y. it will be beneficial to consumers, bU
a because, in their opinion, it will lea

THE Trust Conference held last week
in Chicago, had in it men of many
minds who did not see just the same
way. in meeting the difficulty of Trust
Companies. For this reason they did
not pass positive and declarative reso-
lutions.
Working men, Socialists, advocates |
of the single tax theory and students
of political economy were heard. A
majority of the speakers vigorously !
opposed industrial, financial and trans
portatiOn combinations. The problem
in its relation to the working men
was discussed in all it's phases.
Louis F. Post, the New York advO-
cate of the single tax, analysed the
trusts as, first, those that are mere
combinations of competitive business.
''These would be beneficial" he said,
''but do not exist"
According to the speaker, the real
trusts rest upon monopoly. The trust
question, is at the bottom of the mo-
nopoly. Trusts are buttressed by pro-
lection or have direct special privi-
leges, like railways, or peculiar land
advantages.
John w. Hayes, secretary of the
knights of Labor, said:
81 maintain that these great COM
binations are an assault upon the in
herent and constitutional rights of the
citizens; that the real and vital advan-
tage to be gained is the despotic con-
troll over labor.
"Violence is not the only means of
making conquests and enslaving the
people, and it can be proved beyond
any question that the methods of the
trusts are the methods of the invader
and the ends to be accomplished by
the instigators of the trusts are ex-
actly those intended to be accomplished
by arms directed by military genius.
Taking this view of the trusts, L assert
that they are the enemies of society
and as such should be destroyed"
Cochran spoke at length reviewing
! the utterances of previous speakers
. He said the only remedy for our evils
o was publicity. He believed the hatred
= display. toward corporations was no
wholly justified. He declared that h
believed there was not single indus
o try existing to-day that could be calleC
q monopoly.
VIM. J. Bryan said
"We have agreed, 1 believe, tina
some statue should be devised to pro
vide for publicity of all corporation
n acts. We have agreed that penalt
should be devised against such form o
0 favor as that enjoyed by a cooperation
i exercising special franchises, and tina
) the machinery of publicity will be tn
e means of destroying it. That, accord
e ing to all of us, would be distinct ad
n vance. The conference has accom-
n plished something. 1t has accumU
Q lated a great variety of ideas. 1t wi
n result in educational good and lead

If a serious proposition were sub
mitted to Congress whereby the United
States would pay an annual tribute of
1882, 900, 900 to foreign nations says an
exchange, the whole country would
stand aghast. A political Organiza-
tion that might in any way make itself
responsible for the proposal would be
swept out of existence. And yet the
United States is paying that amount, if
not more, every year to foreign ship
owners for doing our ocean carrying
trade. Instead of diminishing this
yearly tribute to foreign ship own ers
it is rapidly increasing. In 1894 the
steam entries and clearances in the
ocean carrying trade aggregated %,
311 ,526 tons, while in 1898 they aggre-
gated 36, 143, 3Sl, an increase in the
steam tonnage of over AZ per cent. to
say nothing of sailing vessels.
