THE EASTER SEASON.

In hundreds of churches today in
every quarter of the globe the people
who call themselves Christians will
gather and sing in exultant strain:
1.-THE Lord is risen today"
To those whose hearts are attuned to
the great significance of this religious
festival, there will come a holy joy
which ''the world does not give and
which the world cannot take away"
Founded upon the basic truth 'if Christ
be not risen, then is your faith vain
it is fitting that in every church and
chapel Christians should make Easter
the first and most glorious day of all
the holy days.
There is secular lesson in the OBJ
servance of Easter. Tennyson has
stressed it in this beautiful truth:
I'VE rise by stepping stones of our
dead selves to higher things"
The most worldly minded man has
learned that the truest happiness is
found in burying his selfish appetites
and desires, and finding higher hap
piness in the altruisn. that springs from
the burial OF his selfisnLess.

PEACE WITHOUT STOPPING
OVER.

The action of the Federal Court in en-
tering mol pros against the Democratic
registrars will be a matter of interest
and qualification throughout the State.
1t has been brought about mainly by
those Democrats, who opposed the i'm
parchment of the Justices, and the Re
publican politicians who see that to con-
tinue these prosecutions would cost them
many times more than they could posi-
bly, gain by conviction here and there.
The resentment that would have at
tended these trials would have been Wis
tied upon the head of the Republican
politicians and put them still further in
a hopeless majority. And they knew 1t!
Let us have peace said Grant. We
say, Let US have peace without any
stopping over" The only hope OF per-
manent peace is the permanent exclu-
sion of the Republican party from any
voice in the State or local government.
The elimination of a large proportion OF
the negro vote will prevent negro DOM
nation for years, but it does not change
in the least the temper and spirit OF
the messy back Republicans who fought
the Aelimination OF the negro vote with
ali their power and who will re-enfran-
chise every negro in the State if power
is given to them again. The duty OF
men who want peace is to do everything
in their power to scotch the Repup-
lican snake whenever and wherever it
begins to show life.
The impeachment proceedings nave
done great good in North Carolina and
the State owes debt of gratitude 70
the gentlemen who pressed for impeacn-
ment. The first fruits is seen in the re-
lease of the registrars. But for the
"close CALI of the judges, the registrars
would not have escaped without
fight. The judiciary will not soon
override the legislative branch OF gov
eminent again. Other fruits will appear
later.

its own motion it denounces party asso-
ciates who, from high sense of public
duty and in respect to one 0s the Oldest

instituted and supported the impeachment

purpose than to vacate two offices to be
filed by party associates, and to pack the
Supreme court Of the State for partisan

Our State Democracy, as well as our
National Democracy, is not farmers

be given control of all the complex inter-
ests of the State. 1t is not a business
mans party, nor the party of any class;
if it were it could not succeed 1t is not
d party of angels; if it were it would not
get vote. 1t is a party composed of
four ffths of the intelligence and virtue
of the State. of all classes. Its leaders.
whether they be politicians or not in the
abused sense of that word, are the truest,
the bravest and the noblest men the
State has produced. It's Government is
the organized expression of the best man
hood and womanhood of the State. It's
mistakes are such as are inseparable from
human action Its actions are subject to
as much criticism by its own members as
may be used to correct an evil or guide
an action. but no member has a right to
criticise its actions for the purpose of
weakening the party.
Let's have done with class appeals. Our
experience with them in the past ought to
warn us against them in the future. This
party which represents all our classes
will measure out to all as equal and ex-
act Justice as it is possible for human
hands to do.

ONE IMPEACHMENT LESSON.


Winston Ledger.
The vote on the impeachment shows
one truth and breathes it clearly-the
Democratic party in this State is the only
party that ever divides on any question
whether it be one of judgment or con-
science.
When the Craig resolution was intro
duced before the House it was we'll known
how every Republican and Populist would
vote. Not SO with the Democrats. They
divided On judgment and conscience they
differed. Neither conscience nor iudg-
ment split the Republicans or Populists
In the Senate it was known in advance
how the eleven, Republicans and Populists
would vote. "Only six Democratic votes
to get" was the cry of the judges. Here
again Democrats divided.
The truth is plain that the Democratic
party in this State is the only party of
character, intelligence and independence
The Republican party rests on negro
suffrage. That is ignorant ignoble and
debased. The party can get no higher
than it's base. The white men in 1T vote
like the negro in it. They vote to order,
and so voting they are dangerous.
One Republican or Populist vote against
the Judges would have been a new page
in the history of those parties; page
declaring that mind and conscience was
to play a part in the ranks. 1t was not
written. They go like dumb driven cat
tie, and so they vote in all things.
