MONDAY EVENING. MAR. 81 1902
TIE HAPPY EASTER is over and it lie

THE HAPPY EASTER is over ana IL 10
boned that its lessons may be indelioly
Impressed upon each soul VINO mas
sonebt its beuefts 10 sincerity. The
orQans 10 most OF the places OF worship
In Alexandria Yesterday morning peal
ed forth their anthems Of the resurrec-
ton. while the mellow sunshine and
reapimatsd nature seemed to vie In the
lows of the occasion. The ministers In
nearly all the churches selected the
resurrection and the facts connected
with it az themes for their dscourses
and handled them Ia an interesting and
logical manner. 1t was, however, the
old. old story, recited by women ct the
tomb before the stars had left the SKY
the third morn after the scenes at
Calvary, repeated by hundreds OF
other witnesses during the forty days
which followed and believed and
preached down to the present day.
From the little band of Insignificant
Judesns, unknown to the great world
ct large, the Christian Church has
grown into its present proportions, and
those who have since believed without
having placed their fingers in the eide
OF the resurrectsd Lord are pronouDc-
ed more blessed than those who de-
manded this test OF His resurrection.
It ia often asserted that there is
more positive data on which to prove
the resurrection of Jesus Christ than
any ancient historical event ever
recorded. The fact that men, with
nothing to gain save persecution and
stripes, left all and became witnesses
to its truth, should be sufficient. The
original twelve must have been certain
Of the death and return to life OF the
Great Teacher, else they and Saul OF
Tarsus later would never have endured
the suferings which was the portion OF
each. From the time when the soldiers
who guarded the tomb we're paid
money to assert that they fell asleep
sad the disciples stole the body of the
Master down to the present day men
have attempted to blind the world to
the fact OF the resurrection. Their ef'
forts only make it more apparent that
it did take place and as thoughtful
people examine into the matter the
more they become convinced that 1t IL
much more difficult to disbelieve than
1t is to credit the accounts OF the eye
witnesses. There are, however, still
Sadducees 10 the world and doubtless
will be unto the end, but the thirst for
immortality manifested in all nations
from the beginning grows as the wheels
of time revolve.

WILLIAM WALDORF AsToR, OF the
London Pail Mall Gazette, publishes
letter from his New York correspond
elt to the effect that President Roose'
welt may decide not to send Whitelaw
Reid as special ambassador to King
Edwards coronation. Il ssys:
"The cutlery against the President
being officially represented in this
country is 80 great that it would not
be surprising to find Roosevelt eventu-
ally backing down from this point.
The truth is, President Roosevelt is
seeking q reelection and votes have to
be considered in this way, even If the
President cannot always obey the in
nate prOmptings OF gentleman ex'
tending court estes to other countries.
1t is to be neither praised or blamed,
but simply understood"
Mr.. Roosevelt can not complain Of
this sevsre criticism. He has done q
number of things which have surprised
his friends, and that his obi ect was to
catch vots 80 was too plain 10 be denied.
Aud then be calls other people who
yield to pressure chocolate backs"

AND NOW comes the official statement from
Pennsylvania that the farm problem has be-
come suddenly serious in that State and the
lack Of sufficient help is most severely felt
1t is said if the present demand for labor in
the manufactu ring and other industries con-
tinues, landowners will be obliged to subdi'
vide their farms, reducing them sufficiently
to make it possible for an ordinary family to
perform the necessary labor without employ
ing additional help, But some OF the Penn
sylvania Congressman are among the chief
factors in the Chinese exclusion move
ment, but favor the open door" to the
Huns, Poles and slavs. The Chinese are a
quiet and industrious people and would
make good farm hands, whereas the others
mentioned copgregste in cities, will not
work on farms are disposed to be riOtous and
frequently give trouble. Why then should
the one race be excluded and the others well
coined?

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The business Of importance transact.
ed on Saturday by the constitutional
convention was the adoption Of the
O'Flsherty resolution making 1t posi-.
Bile to Iescind any action formerly taken
and substitute something 10 it's etean,
dnd the adoption OF resolution limit
ing debate for and against all resembling
resolutions ID one-half hour. 1t seem
T. be generally conceded that all re-
scinding resolutions will be postponed
until after the 60 days. recess, which
will be taken as soon as the suffrage Is
finally disposed Of. The principal
thing at which the resembling resolu-
ton was aimed was the action of the
convention 10 determining that Senators
should be chosen for two years instead
of four, destroying the holdover feature
which haJ obtained for many years In
the Ststs-one.baIf OF the Senate being
ele led each two years and the term
bsing four.
1t was intimsted on Saturday in the
discussion that action was contemplated
looking to resembling the resolution
offered by MIR. Withers, which was
agreed to, looking to the reduction Of
taxes on real and personal property
from 40 to 80 cents on the hundred
dollars. Bonds and stocks and all
manner OF securities are retained at the
old rate OF taxation.
Mr.. w. A. Anderson, chairman OF the
committee on fnsl revision, expresses
the belief that the convention will take
a recess, possibly for six weeks, to en-
able members to ascertain the senti-
ment of the people in isvor oil proclaim
ing the new constitution. While he
opposes that action, Mr.. Anderson be.
lieves that it Is favored by a majority
of the members.
The idea for recess Is to hold meet
ings all over the State, relieving the
democrats from the pledge made to
submit the constitution 10 the people.
