GOOD CHEER
THE Light THAT rs FFLT

A tender child OF summers three,
Seeking her little bed at night,
Paused on the dark stair tinnidly,
"Oh. motheri take my hand" said she,
And then the dark will all be light"
We older children grope our way
From dark behind TO dark before:
And only when our hands we lay.
Dear Lord, In Thine. the night Is day,
And there Is darkness nevermore.
Reach downward 10 the sunless days
Wherein our guides are blind we,
AMI faith is small and hope delays:
Take Thou the hands Of prayer we raise
And let US feel the light OF Thee!

TIE APRIL GRAND JURY.

To those parts of Judge Fosters charge which
may be considered to constitute the instruc-
lions Of the Court the April Grand Jury, con-
vened yesterday will doubtless give due heed
and obedience. To the Judges recommendation
Of 1.-The learned and capable District Attorney"
as an authentic and indispensable adviser 1t
will presumably attach such value as observa-
ton may seem to warrant, being naturally dis
inclined at the outset by the experience of It's
immediate predecessor to put the highest degree
or faith IN Colonel Gardeners guidance. Judge
Foster does not appear to think quite as well of
the March Grand Jury as we had hoped he
would and his remarks might even be regarded
as disparagement of its work; but If the citi-
zens on whom its functions have devolved are
equally sincere and equally desirous of serving
the community they will not permit themselves
to be discouraged and embarra ssed by this cir
cumstance ignoring whatever is plainly super
fuous In the Judges charge, they should pro-
ceed In accordance with his directions to make
a rigorous, searching and merciless examina-
ton into matters requiring their attention If
they take up their task in that spirit they can
scarcely fail to carry it along to a point at
which practical results will begin to appear.
though they may be unable to bring it to COM
pletion.
This is the course which the public will expect
lHc NIduu jury 10 pursue unul evidence OF
different temper and purpose appears Tam
many is doubtless hoping for coat of white
wash, and indeed the leaders are commonly
said to have agreed after they read last Satur-
days presentment that it was advisable to en-
courage continuation of the inquiry in which
the March Grand Jury was baffied, lest Gov
ernor Roosevelt should make up his mind to re-
sort to the device Of a special Grand Jury
| with Deputy Attorney-General as prosecutor
Whether or not that was wise expedient re-
mains to be seen. The community is evidently
| In mood to watch carefully for results and
would not be readily deceived by show of
vigor which accomplished nothing If the Dis
trict Attorney is contemplating the employment
Of such tactics there is happily no reason thus
far to imagine that he will find the Grand Jury
a convenient instrument though he may sue
ceed, If his audacity is equal to the strain. in
being a hindrance rather than a help as he is
| officially declared to have been last month
But even so, the most that Tammany could
safely rely on, we hope, would be a brief post
ponement Of the evil day. If 1t should become
clear that honest and faithful Grand jury
under the conditions created by a Tammany
District Attorney could not satisfactorily dis
charge its duty, the necessity Of resortng to an
unusual method Of procedure would be imme-
diately recognized In this city and presumably
at Albany
