Platform Making.

There will be an importan; conference
OF Republican leaders at Washington
tomorrow. which is fraught with In
tersst to the country. The discussion
will be on what are TO be the most i'm
portant Of the duties Of the National
Republican convention, which meets
next week. which will be participated
in by Senators Foraker. Fairbanks,
Lodge, possibly Senator Allison, and
two or three Republicans who do not
hold official posts, but who have been
absorbed in the subject which is the
occasion for the meeting Of this group.
About two weeks ago meeting OF a
similar purport was held in Washing
ton. and which was entirely tentative
In Its character. as the meeting to-
morrow also will be. At tina: time Il
was the opinion that, in view of the csr'
tainty of the nomination Of President
Mckinley by reclamation, the one VII
tally important work that remained for
the Republican convention to do is thu
formulation of the platform. In CONF
pafIson with the other-as yet unde'
cIded-action that the convention must
take-namely, the nomination o: a can
didate for vice president--it Is deemed
OF much the greater consequence. OF
course there will be no trouble this year
over the currency plank. as the recently
adopted currency law will furnish the
basis for that. 1t is the plank that VIII
express the Republican view upon what
is vaguely called expansion that will
occasion the most profound ana earnest
discussion, not only on the part Of those
who are to have some share in the for
mai preparation Of the resolution. but
also on the part OF citizens all over the
United States. And the correspond
ence, the tentative drafts, the sugges-
lions that have reached Senator Fair
banks and others are most impressive
proof not only OF the deep and abiding
interest the American people arr taking
In the subject, but more than that, they
furnish good Illustrations OF the ac-
curacy OF the assertion OF those who say
that there is beginning to be n clear
perception Of what the majestic and
momentous events though which we
have passed and through which other
nations have recently and are now pass

that Freer wa7 at one time nominated

Chicago Record: 1t is likely that no

arrested the other day for blowing his
little thln-toned horn upon the public
streets. 1t was one of those things
generally expected, ard which, there
fore. never happen again, except upon
the initiative OF some fiinty-hearted Of
Ger of the law. Yet ninety-nine out OF
every hundred parents have probably
invoked plaques upon the devoted head
Of the "b'loon man and wished that
there was some law to stop his trade.

it was the absolute duty Of every man,

suppress the resurrection. But if it
was not the intention to create an un-

EASTER SUNDAY AT ST. MARY's

Easter Sunday. the most joyful of all
the church celebrations of the year,
dawned brightly beautiful. and in
prayer. song and flowers was the grand
festival in memory of Our Risen Savior
celebrated at st. Mary's. Cathedral.
The services at St. Mary's were most
impressive. Solemn Pontificial High
Mass was celebrated by Rt. Rev Bishop
Seaman celebrated; Rev. FaGher. Ken

Sub-Deaccn. The sermon was preach
ed by Rev. Father Kennedy, on the
Resurrection of Our Divine Lord and
was strong and able discourse. Beau
tiful as the Easter decorations have
been in former years, this year the al
tars were more beautiful than ever be-

belonging TO the Altar Society of St

The sanctuary was deliberately dec
