opera last winter in Philadelphia and
other cities, gives an interesting ac-
count of the strange customs of her
native land.
Passion week. as n whole. is general
h very quiet. almost no social func-
tions taking place. Its prominent fea-
ture is the pilgrimage to one of the
sacred shrines. Devout persons in both
town and country Join in the pilgrim
age. and every village through which
the procession passes adds its quota to
the pilgrimage. The journey is taken
fasting, as far as possible. only bread
and water sufficient to preserve from
absolute exhaustion being INDUCED in.
On Good Friday life-sizc imafe OF
the Christ is carried to the principal
church by procession of priests and
there remains until Easter. guarded by
soldiers, who stand motionless as
statues. On Easter Sunday the wor-
shippers place offerings of money at the
feet of the sacred image. Easter morn
ing Is greeted with tokens Of gladness.
somewhat similar to our Christmas. all
the windows having wreaths of flowers
or leaves.
One OF the prettlest obseryances OF
the day is n procession of young girls
In white. carrying branches Of green
trees. following the clergy In their
robes and the acolytes with n huge
gilded cross. After the white robed
girls come the villagers.
Tho most interesting custom, how
ever. is that known as watering"
which occurs on Easter Monday and
Tuesday. Men 30 out armed with wa
ter In bottles or pitchers and throw II
on the young women they meet In the
village streets. Sometimes they even
call Mt the houses and greet tho girls
who come to the door. The odd part OF

elites the custom has been gradually
refined so that gentlemen arm them

about his old friend and countyman,
Ensign Gilbert Chase:

that most OF the shanties and all OF the

destroyed by typboon.

myself, opposed the platform, but still

former silver men who do not intend
TO push this question, aud l do not

A Sensible View

Senator Martin said the other day
that. both parties In Congress now real
ize that the best interests Of the coun-
try must be considered, as the people
are now becoming independents Of
party and following their own inclina-
tions on all public questions. In COM
menting on this, the Louisville Courier
Journal says:
Whether the Republicans shall exer.
else the discretion with which Senator
Martin credits them, and whether both
parties realizs that the best interests Of
the country must be considered, there
can be no question among intelligent
observers that the people are becoming
independent Of party and following
tneir own iuolinations on public ques.
tions This is fact which must be
taken into account BY any party which
would win today national election.
Neither the election Of this year nor
that Of 1896 was won. by the Republi-
can party. Neither could have been
won without the aid Of that great and
growing class Of voters who. while
they may have either Democratic or
Republican lesrniDgs In bffiliatlon or
tendencies, give think aud thin Allegi.
ance 10 no party. but decide at every
election. according TO the facts then
before them, which party they will
vote with.
No party can succeed How In defiance
Of these voters, and the party which
goes into the next campaign making
the strongest appeal TO their support
will 60 into it with the bsst chance Of
victory.
This is greatly 20 the interest OF the
country. There must be two great po-
litical parties In q governments like
ours and party organizations must bo
maintained. But it is equally neces-
sary that their shall be q considerable
number Of men who will not be led By
the nose by either party. The inde-
pendent voter should have weli.dehnec
political principles and should have .

sues policy which be believes 70 be
