can get out and play better ball than

EASTER

AS we have need OF holiday to oele-
brate the harvest time, when men reap
what they have sown and rejoice in
fruition, SO there a reason for cele-
brating onr going forth TO labor, the
seed-planting time, and the season Of
promise. The harvest home is cele-
brated in America under the name of
Thanksgiving Day, and the season OF
awakening we know by the maine of
Easter. AS a secular day It is derived
from a pagan holiday of the Saxons,
and for the same secular reasons which
caused them to observe II. we regard it
today. There lis ample reason in the
awakening of the old earth-the put
ting on of her gorgeous robes, the
bursting forth OF buds and blossoms,
to cause us make a holiday and TO
celebrate it with feasting.
But TO millions of men Easter means
something more. The renewed life dis
played by the old earth is but proph-
esy OF something infinitely more vital
To the Christian il speaks of the resur-
rection, and that is the greatest idea
that can enter the brain of man. If It
is true, then every other fact sinks
into insignificance. If the man who
was crucifed on Golgotha arose and
spoke TO men, then no wonder so many
of Tho race reverently observe Easter
And why not? The Power that created
the plant, by whatever name 1t is
known, also created man. Science can
not create plant and cause
Il TO grow; neither has 1t
solved the problem Of human life. And,
yet at the warm touch Of the sun the
barren limbs are clothed with verdure.
the flowers blossom again, and surely
the controlling force of the universe
is as tender of man.
For these reasons millions OF people
will tomorrow cease their fasting. and
with songs OF rejoicing and smiling
faces, with bright garments and happy
greetings, win celebrate the day.

with perfect accord have taken to plain
lying without frills. Let us take up
the Addicl1s press, beginning with it's
chief organ, The Daily Republican,
edited by. f. E. Bach. It says there
were eielhty-,seven persons in the dele
cation, nearly half Of whom were
Democrats. We'll, the conductor Of the
special train said there were 105 in the
delegation on that train. There wpre
at least seventy-five persons who went
on the regular train, together with
other persons who Joined the delegation
in Dover. The Republican enumerates
thirty Democrats, and says they COM
prised one-haif Of the delegation.
Thirty divided into two hundred will
give the true proportion.
The wilmington Sun, the State SEN
tinel, the Milford Chronicle and the
Union Republican, of Georgetown, all
declare that they favor the retention
of this law. because the Union Re
publicans are not represented in the
election rooms. Yet. In Sussex at the
late election the Union Republicans had
an inspector and. judge Ga majority
in fourteen out of nineteen polling
places. In Kent they had majority
in eleven districts, and In the city of
Wilmington most polling places were
in their hands. Now this is matter Of
record and is not a question for argu-
ment; therefore, we are obliged to say
that these journals are deliberately ly-
ing.

ALTOGETHER FALSE

we have wondered what sort OF an
argument would be devised 10 sustain
the contention fer the Voters Assistant
bin, and now we have it. 1t comes in
the shape OF a falsehood, which pre-
supposes that all men are ignorant of
both law and custom. The following
from the Milford Chronicle contains
more misinformation to the squane inch
than any statement we have read for
years. Read It:
The law was made by a Democratic
Legislature and was perfectly satisfac-
tory so hong as they controlled the cleo
tion boards OF the State by a special
law which placed I'M every election
room in Delaware, men who were land
aire today, all Democrats and "Regu-
lar Republicans; dcpriying all others
Of any representation at State cleo
tions. This iniquitous law conceived
in an iniquitous fusion OF pur-
pose between Democrats and "Regu-
lars" with the view OF depriving Union
Republicans. Of their rights and privi-
leges, has been in operation for six
years, and the purists now clamoring
for the Governor to sigh the repeal
err have never once raised their voice
10 rieht the wrong Of their own con-
struction, by repeating a law which
places control of the elections In the
hands Of the minority party Of the
State and the minority faction of the
Republicans.
This law was not made by a Demo-
cratic Legislature, but by Union Repub-
licans with the help of a few Regular
Republicans. There was Voters AS
sIstant law previously, but It had been
Trebsaied- It may be said that the for
mer law required the voters assistant
to take an oath, and prescribed PEN
alties for failure to perform his duty.
The statement that all the officers in
all the election rooms in Delaware to-
day are Democrats and Regular RE
publcans is a stupid lie, and even the
ignorant voter who can't read and
write. knows better. or the nineteen
inspectors in Kent, eleven are Union
Republicans. or The same number in
Sussex, fourtean are Union Republi-
cans. or the nineteen Republican
judges in Kent at the last election,
twelve were Union Republicans; and
IN Sussex fourteen were Union Republi-
licans. In the city Of Wilmington the
majority Of election officers are Union
Republicans. The Chronicle need not
congratulate Itself that It's assertion
will be believed, since these lists are
matters Of record.
The Chronicle further remarks that
this law (uhe Voters AssistanD has
been in operation six years. But i
