Ever since the year 374 A. D., when that
sainted old bishop OF Milan. Ambrosius,
wrote his Easter hymn. This is the very
day OF God" there has been rolling down
through the ages an accumulated wealth Of
hymn literature. about the Eastertide.
And the hymns OF lasting Importance are
those which remind us that God IL not
the God OF the dead, but OF the living"
Compare this hymn, which a decrepit ortho-
doxy liked to dwell upon, with the one
which follows It;
Lord! and am I yet alive
Not In torment, not in hell
sim doth Thy good spirit strive
With The chief OF sinners DWELL
Turn aside, a sight t'admlre.
l the living wonder ami
See a bush that burns with fire,
Unconsumed amidst the flannel
o, the miracle OF gracel
Tell Il out to sinners, tell!
Men, ard hends, and angels gaze.
l am, 4 am out OF hell!
And this. from the early part of the sixth
century:
Welcome, happy morning.! age to ago shall
Hell today is ~vanquish'd. heav'n is won
Lo! the dead is living. God f~oreyermore!
Him, their true Creator, all His works
adore.
Earth her JOY confesses. clothing her for
All fresh gifts returned with her return
Bloom in every meadow leaves on every
Speak His sorrow ended. hail His triu mph
now.
Here is another of the old materialistic
style which was supposed to be so very
spiritual:
My Savlor's pierced side
Poured out a double food;
BY water we are purified,
And pardoned by his blood.
Called from above I rise,
And wash away my sin;
The stream to which my spirit files
Can make the foulest clean.
1t runs divinely clear,
A fountain deep and wide;
Twas opened by the soldiers spear,
In my Redeemer's side!
This is more sanguine and less sangui-
nary:
Sing, with all tho sons of glory,
Sing the resurrection song!
Death and sorrow, earth's dark story,
To the former days belong.
Even now the dawn Is breaking,
Soon the night of time shall cease
And. in Gods own likeness waking q
Man shall know eternal peace.
Life eternal! Heaven r~ejoices;
Jesus lives who once was dead; 3,
Join. oh man, the deathless voices;
Child OF God. lift up thy head. ,
Patriarchs from distant ages, ..
Saints all longing for their heaven,
Prophets, psalmists, seers and sages,
All await the glory given.
-
The voices of nature and the voices OF
mankind and the voices Of the angels unite
today in one grand Easter anthem and their
theme is this:
Hallelujah! God is not the God of the
dead, but OF the livingl Hallelujah!

VESSELS IN COLLISION.
Old Dominion Liner Richmond Crashes
Into German Vessel

Newport News, Va, March 9.--Captain
Fendt, Of the German steamship Pisa,
which arrived here yesterday from Ham
burg via New York, reported that he was
run down yesterday morning at 3 O'Clock
by the Old Dominion steamer Richmond,
about fifteen miles south of Winterquarter
Lightship. After the collision, the vessels
laid by each other until the captains dis
covered that their respective ships were
in condition TO proceed, and the Rich
mond continued on he, voyage 10 New
York and the Pisa came here, arriving
about 9 O'Clock yesterday morning.
Captain Fendt says that his ship was
damaged to the extent of about $4,000
As soon as she finishes dischargng her
import cargo at pier No. 5, the Pisa will
90 to the shipyard for repairs before
loading cargo for New York. 1t is be-
lieved that the Richmond was also badly
damaged. She has arrived at New York,
but the local Old Dominion Steamship
Company officers have heard nothing
from her captain in regard TO the damage
A curious incident in connection with
the collision is the fact that Second Officer
J. Spoufand, of the Richmond, was
brought into port by the Pisa. Captain
Fendt says that afteI the vessels were
clear of each other, strange man came
up to him on the bridge and asked him If
the vessel was going to sink. This man
was Second Officer Spoufand, who, when
the Richmond's bow crashed into the
Pisca, sprang from bis ship over to the
deck of the Pisa, probably thinking that
the Richmond, being an old boat, was
going to sink. Mr.. Spoufland returned to
New York last night by rail to JON his
ship. The crew ofthe Richmond probably
thought that he was lost.
There will certainly be one suit and
probably two on account Of the collision.
There was no wind and no fog at the time
the vessels came together, 20 some one
must have been at fault. Captain Fendt
claims that the captain Of the Richmond
was at fault in running him down. What
the story of the captain Of the Richmond
will be, no one knows.

EX-PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND
Takes Occasion TO Deny a RumOr, and
Again Says That lie Is Out
OfPOliticS for Goodwill
ing to Give Advice.
EX-PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND

Toledo, Ohio, March 9.-Colonel w.
Bryan was in the city this afternoon, II,
was prevailed upon to discuss politics. H
told Of his recent visit to New York ant
added that the people in that State knew
LEES about politics than they do in tn,
West.
They asked me ahout Judge Parker,
he said, "and told them | could say
nothing until knew his attitude OH pub
lie questions. They answered that he wai
a Judge and it would not be proper loI
him TO discuss political topics"
"What do you think Hill intends tC
do?"
"Well, think Mr.. Hill s tossing pen
ny to see whether lie or Judge Parker vii
run. The trouble with the plan il tha
Hill has an old penny that hehas tossed SC
often that he doesn't know which side is
head and which side is tail
"What have you to say regarding tie
record Of Congress-"
What Congress has done is easily ascer-
tanned Find out how much there was in
the treasury before the session began and
fad out how much there is now. The
wonder is that they did not take it all. -
Mr. Bryan decline d to discuss probable
issues and candidates in the next national
campaign, but when asked TO make a gen
pral statement gs to lhe situation he said
s'Political success depends on two thing
opportunity and preparation to take ad
vantage Of it. a political party must have
its principles and it must advocate those
principles il believes best for the people
and tLen trust to events to vindic&te the
wisdom of its course.
Il believe that the Democratic party
has taken the people side of the public
questions discussed in 1896 and in 1900
and l believe if it will maintain its integri
ty and allow no doubt to arise as TO it'
fidelity TO the peoples cause it will be
only question of time, and not long
time either, before enough Republicans
will be disgusted with the policy Of the
Republican party to again put the Demo
cratic party in power
"Such victory when won will bring
relief to the people from all the vicious
policies Of the Republican party. We
cannot win victory by compromise or
cowardice and if We should win a victory
by such means it would he as disastrous
to the party as Mr.. Cleyeland's victory in
1892 proved to be"
Asked his opinion on the Wabash strike
Mr.. Bryan said:
"The merits Of the controversy betwetn II
the company and its employees are over
shadowed by the menace of the process
known as government by injunction. The
Democrats have long been calling atten-
tion to the danger that turks in this abuse
of the judicial power, but it seems to take
several object lessons to make the people
acquainted with bad principle"

SENATE HAS
THE REPORTS.
Yesterdays Action in the House on
The Campbell Matter.
STANDS ON MAJORITY REPORT.
After Discussion the Body Declined to
Strike Out Specifications aStO Col
luSiOn with s. A. Day and
to COwhidIng.

Richmond, Va. March 9.-The Camp
bell case is now "up to- the Senate, for
while at least. The House today formu
lated the charges upon which the accused
Judge is TO be tried for removal before the
two houses, and now 1t remains for TIE
Senate to act.
The House after considerable argument
running through two sessions, by vote
of 80 to 2l, refused to strike out the speci-
fications contained in the resolutions and
report, offered by Mr.. Davis, Of Peters
burg, on behalf of the majority oil the
committee, relating to the cowhlding oi
DIR. G. IL. Crawford, and the charge oi
collusion between Judge Campbell and D
A. Day as to the alleged illicit sale OF
Ionor at Amherst Courthouse.
WHAT THE VOTE MEANS.
This means that so far as the House
is concerned, Judge Campbell will be tried
upon all the specifications contained IN
the majority IepOil'
They are as follows: The cowhldlng
charge; that of colusiOn with 5. A. Day
as to the sale of liquor; that alleging the
improper use of the Office of judge TO
prosecute one A. d. Beard, COMMISSION
or of the revenue of Amherst comfy; that
contending that the selection OF Judge T.
n. Wood to sit in the case was improper.
The Senate may, in its discretion, strike
out or add specifications, and until that
body shall have acted, Judge Campbell
will not be officially informed as to the
exact nature of the specifications
The Senate may also refer the whole
matter to a committee for report and not
take it up speedily, so the sltuation' IN
any event, it very interesting one.
There were barely 81 members OF the
House present and voting on the question
but the lineup showed considerable
strength for the majority report. For
this paper as it was originally drawn, Mr.
Davis made strong fight, and he was
ably supported by Mr.. Sipe ard others.
MIR. Southall moved to strike out The
specifications relating to the liquor matter,
and he spoke with much force on this line
1t was on Mr.. Dukes motion that
vote was taken on striking out the COW
hinding specifications, and it Is colnci'
dence that the vote on each was q to 80,
though in few instances the personnel
was little different.
EXPECT A BIG FIGHT IN HOUSE.
There is no doubt that there is going to
be a big fight in the House over the final
adoption of the report. Of course, 1t is
hard for any one to say what will be the
result Some members are talking OF
slim attendance and the difficulty Of full
vote, while others say that If need be,
there will be call of the House. The
friends of Judge Campbell ae naturally
hard at work. The judge himself is still
here. but he remains in his rooms at the
hotel, and is evidently taking no personal
part
MIR. Handley ofMathewsis is one of Judge
Campbel's staunchest supporters in the
House, and will no doubt make a speech
against the report.
