which demands that property shall be
taxed by uniform rules. The Repub-

every pledge of equal taxation that 1t
has made to the people. 1t never gets
beyond the appointment of a commits

Compare this with what Mr.. Black,
the lawyer, says in his tert book on
taxation and what MIR. Black, the equal

1897, and what Mr.! Black said as a
member Of the tax board and in a pri-

club in Newark ON Sept. IA, 1904, Nh.
Black said:
'The Republicans want time to in

ton. We say that the time for investi-
CATION has passed and it is now time
to votes
Compare this with the speech of Mr..
Black OF May 2T, 1904, before he be-
game a candidate for governor.
From 1891, when his earliest utter
ance is found, down to May 81, 1904,
Mr.. Blacks position was that the sub
ject was so intricate and involved that
it demanded the most thorough and
careful investigation by those best
qualified for the task.
He has approved nearly every year
for the last ten years the principle of
railroad taxation established by the
law of 1884. He did not change his
position until he became the Democrat
ic nominee for governor in September,
1904.
WAS He RIGHT IN THE YEARS
FROM 1891 TO 1904?
Has he changed his mind as to the
correctness Of the principles Of taxa
tion established by tho law of 18a47
If he has changed, WHY?
Why does he believe in September
that the time for investigation has
passed? ~
If the time for inquiry is past, why
did MIR. Black accept the position of
commissions to investigate the qucs-
ton of eoualizino taxes?

The Christian Year.--Easter.
Communicated.

Communicated
Easter, the Day of our Lords Resur-
rection, follows the close of Lent and the
Holy Week To those who have entered
heartily into an observance OF these sea-
Sons of penitence and devout meditation
upon the sufferings and death of our
adorable Redeemer. the festival comes
bringing not indeed the surprise, but the
Joy with which the disciples greeted His
resurrection from the dead. They seem
to hear His voice calling by name the
loving Mary at the sepulchre, or His
CHEEKY ''All hail, as he salutes the Holy
Women on their way back to the city; to
walk with Him and the two perplexed
disciples on the journey to Emmaus
and to share the simple meal in which
He made Himself known to them in the
breaking of bread; or finally to receive
the blessing of Peace which he breathed
upon the Apostles at eventide in the
upper chamber at Jerusalem. To all
such, Easter should bring not only the
close of a special season OF retirement
and prayer, but the prospect and pur
pose of holier risen life and the expe-
rience OF more perfect devotion to the
service OF the King who comes back vic
tOriOus from the gates OF death to rule
over the daily life of those whom the
Blood of His Cross has sanctified, and to
make them sharers in His triumph.
The festival extends throughout the
week which should therefore be observed
with devotion. The Easter season con-
tinues for forty days until Ascensiontide,
and the themes of our meditation should
be the lessons of the like period in which
the risen Saviour instructed His disciples
in the things pertaining to the Kingdom
or Church of God And so the great Day
stands between equalperiOds OfChristian
sorrow and Christian jOy-Lent and Eas-
tertide-each contributing its element of
discipline for the healthy and symmetri-
cal development of Christian character.
1t is a source of much sorrow and
scandal that many persons who keep
Lent with more or less strictness should
seem to be glad when it is over so that
they may plunge again, and perhaps
deeper than before, into WOrldliness and
dissipation, with an eagerness intensified
by their release from the restraints of the
sacred season; even going so far as to
call by the very name of Easter which
suggests Christ's resurrection, the ex-
cesses which they find SO much more con-
genial and for which they too often
spend the Holy Week in preparation.
Such persons only bring into contempt
the Church's sacred seasons, causing some
of their neighbors to despise discipline
which affects so little the conduct of
those who profess to be subject to it; and
Others to hold aloof from religion which
they falsely suppose to allow without
blame such inconsistency in disciples of
Christ crucifed
Let us greet the Festival with Christian
JOY and pray for an Easter bendiction
upon all who love our Lord Jesus Christ

"DEAR MRS. P1NKHAM cannot
praise Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-

is the only medicine ever tried which
cured me. I suffered much from my
first menstrual period, I felt so weak
and dizzy at times could not pursue
my studies with the usual interest.
Fly thoughts became sluggish, had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact, was sick all over.
Finally, after many other remedies
had been tried, we were advised to get
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and am pleased to say
that after taking it only two weeks, a
wonderful change for the better took
place, and in short time was in
perfect health. - I felt buoyant, full of
life, and found all work q pastime. I
