Easter Sunday in Palatka.

In Catholic, Episcopal and MethO-
dist churches Easter Sunday, COM
memoratiye of Christ's resurrection,
is an occasion for JOYOUS celebration,
and these denomination in Palatka
were no exception. The day was all
that one could ask-an ideal day;
bright, warm and conducive to good
cheer, and the people very generally
attended some one of the churches,
most OF which had service with spec
ial reference to the day.
The services at st. James Church
were in keeping with the glad day Of
hope which Easter brings. The
church was beautifully, though not
elaborately, decorated. The music
was of high order, and the sermon
was on "The Doubt of Christ's Res
direction Dispelled by Evidence.
The text was st. John 2O:6-9. The
pastor spoke in part as follows:
Nothing in the ministry of our
Lord was unforeseen or accidental.
The expressions "must" and "must
needs" occur frequently in connec-
tion with these marvellous events:
they are parts of the plan arranged
by infinite wisdom. "Thou wilt not
leave my soul in hades; neither wilt
thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption" Yes, it was the divine
purpose that Jesus should rise from
the dead.
1t is not to be wondered at that the
disciples of Christ failed to under
stand the old testament references to
the Messiah. But the reference was
then to be brought out after the event
was accomplished. Our Lord had
on many occasions foretold his resur-
rection in the hearing of his disciples.
destroy this temple, and in three
days 1 will raise it again" He spoke
of the temple of his body.
The belief which the disciples
came to cherish in the Lords resur-
rection was all the more an evidence
of It's reality. Though their doubts
were many and disheartening, they
were certainly dispelled, and their
faith was all the stronger because Of
the unbelief it mastered.
The resurrection of our Lord con-
firms our faith i'm the truthfulness Of
the scriptures, and affords sublimer
hope of personal immortality

At the Catholic church as is usual
on Easter Sunday, great prepara-
ton was made for proper celebra~
ton Of the day. The altar was most
beautifully decorated with flowers
and burning candles, and the music
al feature of the service was 81 q high
order. There were three services,
beginning with low mass and COM
munion at Z o'clock, high mass and
sermon at 10 and vespers at In the
evening. Father 0'Brien preached
scholarly sermon on the resurrec-
tion whic. was listened to with the
closest attention by a large eongre-

ASHINGTON, March 1S.--A move
ment has bee started by Democratic
members of the Senate and House tc

Democratic Congressional Committee
The membership OF this committee
which includes representative party
man from each State, will meet

there are no Democrats in Congress

name is expected to be selected as the
member o. the committee to serve
from the late.
For the past few weeks. or since it
became known that Representative
James d. Richardson. of Tennessee,
chairman of the last committee, would
not seek another term as the head of
the organization, the Democrats in
Congress have been casting about in
search OF man capable of serving in
this capacity and engineering the Con-
gressional campaigns next fall When
Mr.. Richardson stated that he intend

ate to accept the place, but has de-
clined to be a candidate.

about how people feer on those two
questions, and If the Democrats are
wise enough tc recognize the popular
feeling | do not see how the party can
fail TO carry the Congressional cleo
tons. The revision of the tariff should
be the most prominent issue though
1t is not the only one, and on such an
issue there is not the slightest doubt

publicans in Congress are alarmed over
the prospect and are trying to i'm
press the situation on their party col
leagues. They express the belief that
unless the Republican majority In
Congress can be induced to do some
thing to reduce the tariff burdens it
will lose the next House.
The House is run In an autocratic
manner by few men. ana these con-
servatiye Republicans have not had a
chance to carry out their policy. When
the War Tax Reduction bill was
brought up these Republicans desired
to introduce amendments which would
strike off some OF the worst OF the
tariff burdens, but they were stihed
by the rules of the House. There was
a strong Republican sentl-
ment In favor ot avertng the coming
storm by reducing IL yariff. but II
was suppressed. In ms llgment when

There was considerable talk today
concerning Mr.. Germans chances for
the Democratic Presidential nomina-
tion in 1904. Democrats in Congress
are convinced that the next Congress
sional elections will result in increased
Democratic representation in the
House which, they assert, can be aug
mented considerably under the direc-
tion of a capable political manager.
The man who is at the head OF the
Congressional Committee will get
much of the credit FOR the victory.
Thus Mr.. Germans political future
might be advanced In a substantial
