EASTER.
fFrom the Telegraph H erald. }

(F'rom the TelegraphrHerald
The long sleep is ended. Natures
voice resounds throughout the land,
calling from their winter habitat the
creatures alternating there. Through
open windows robins rejoicing in the
resurrection. The freshened air CIV
es the lungs grip on things, so that,
breathing deep, one feels the ecstacy
of the new born day. Before the eye
tired from the bleak drab of winters
brush, is spread the yerdant green.
The maple, sooner nourished than tht
oak, is dns full bud. The 9anemone,
Springs first flower, has had awaken
ing bath in snow, and timed its exit
to leave free to hepatica and blood
rood and violet, the stage of beauty
and fragrance. Flowing water has
broken through tthe crust of ice and
is now a winding, silvery sheen skirt
ing hills, and enriching valleys with
its alluvia.
The soul finds harmony in the
scheme of nature and the fancy Of
the lover is expressed in the blue
jays netting call It is easy to love
in the sprtngtime, for then imagina-
tion III ion, fulliwing Love looking i'm
to a mirror without these attributes

Spring breaches a lesson of hope
that heavy, heads of wheat shall from
the sown wheat grow, and rich har-

And Easter breaches lesson of Saith
that the fallen oak shall rise again in
new life of greater usefulness. .f

THE DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE M
MASSACHUSETTS.

4. The stern and rockbound coast of !,
Massachusetts has expressed it's
opinion of the TAFT administration.
The republicans carried the 14th
Massachusetts district at the last
presidential election by majority of
1880, and at congressional cleo
ton held in the ddstrict last week the
democrats won odt by a majority of
6,e4ol A change of 10000 votes has
&aken place In the intervening eight
. cen months. "A similar change in ev-
cry district In the country would re-
duce the republican membership Of
the next house to a single dozen.
Senator Bristow of Kansas, pro-
gressdve republican, commenting on
this democratic victory said:
II Il delivered number of addresses
DIN Massachusetts last winter, one Of
them being In this same district. I
found that the sentiment AMONG the
people of Massachusetts, was the
!, same as in KANSAS, and !.said then
that IL man of progressive ideas
would come before the people, they
would support him"
When asked for an explanation of
the remarkable change Senator Cum
minis said:
The result is SO plain that 1t does
not need explanation.
Champ Clark is quoted as saying:
The news from Massachusetts is
most pleasing and important since
1892. Taken In connection with the

THE LESSON OF THE WRECK.
The cause of the wreck is not To-
Gated. Perhaps the most plausible
explanation is that a light tender,
intended to be halled, not pushed,
rose under the pressure behind, buck
led, jumped, or whatever way it's
wheels were lifted, high enough to
swing the flange over the rail- and
leave the track.
The technical cause OF the wreck
is incidental to this particular case.
The reasons for the AWFUL loss of
human life appeare u be
evident. The enormous death rate
among the passengers OF that Inflated
Rock Island train seems directly at
tributable to makeup of the train
the doubled engines and the fact that
these engines were backing. The rate
of speed was normal, about twenty.
five miles an hour but the train was
so arranged that serious accident
meant holocaust. When the de.
railment came the steel mass Of two
heavy locomotives supplemented by q
solid pullman, damned across the cut
