The quiet, concertecU well balanced and statesmanlike manner in which the democratio majority in confess is going about the fulfillment of party pledges is spreading chagnb and apprehension among members of jLhe opposing party. With much satire it has ever pleas ed the republicans to taunt the dem ocratic minority with their fancied inability to pull together on a con structive program of legislation. The democrats have been repeatedly re minded that even if they ever came into power they would hang them selves with a noose of their own mak ing. On the contrary, and much to the disappointment of many, the dem ocratic majority \s proceeding on a program of remedial legislation with an assurance and wisdom which de notes utter sincerity, as well as full understanding of the needs of the day. . In order to put through legislation desired by the people even the pres ident himself recognizes the value of democratic support, and in his noted speech Saturday, Representa tive Kitchin scathingly taunted the president with this fact: “Oh, niy friends,” said Mr. Kitch in, with eloquent gesture, "how the vicissitudes of American politics hu miliate the pride of even a president. We were impossible obstructionists, and we utterly failed In anything that was sensible: and yet before that libel upon a great political organiza tion is cold upon his lips, the des perate necessities of a discredited administration send this president on bended knee, begging before this dem ocratic majority.” Verily the political worm has turn ed and the public will be the bene ficiaries of the turn. Strength to the vision, and pov/er to the puri>ose of the democratic ma jority. Another classic phrase is offered by the literary governor of South Cl'rolina: •'I will show the people a county oflicer like Goodwin can not tell the governor of the state to go to h—” Oh well, perhaps the truly great are entitled to occasional exercises of the law' of poetic license.

The ^spirit of the Resurrection \v.i l.'f.nthed in the very air.

It was good to be alive. 'Veil did the Aug\ista Herald say on Easter morn: ‘ T* day ttie Christian world is sing- iii.i; i'. Hosana. after its forty days f)i fasting and prayer. The belief in iht Rih-.n Christ liab worked for the !) tterniont of mankind. No one can iniifW in ih** I'ooisteps of the lowly Xuzarciuj .vithout feeling that he is I)--''!.!- for having done so. The Christi.TU faith would* be nothing if thert- were no resurrection, for that the foimdaiion upon which Chns- tii*nity rests. Today-nature and Christ ianity i)oth proclaim the resurrection. Let those who profess Christianity remember there are three hundred and twenty-five days more in which they should follow the commandment of the Nazarene, which says, ‘Love >hy neighbor as thyself.’ ” Spartanburg, April 17.—Greenville was chosen as the place for the an nual meeting of the Southern Textile Association at a meeting of the board of governors of the associatioa held in this city. The annual meet ing will be held on July 1. Strong bids for tlie convention were made by Col umbia, Anderson and Greensboro, N. C. The board of governors will meet In Spartanburg in answer to a call of M. G. Stone, superintendent of the Paco- let Mills, who presided. G. S. Escott, editor of the Mill News, of Charlotte, acted as secretary. A telegram was received from the Greenville Board of Trade, as well as a letter from Thomas F. Parker, president of the Monaghan Mills, and one from L. P. Hollis, of the Monaghan Y. M. C. A., setting forth numerous reasons why tlie meeting should be held in that city. Members of the board of governors from Green ville, Columbia and Greensboro point ed out the advantages of their respect ive cities and extended cordial invita tions to the association to meet in them. T. R. Hazel, of the Olympia Mills spoke in favor of Columbia, Z. H. Mangum, formerly of the Proximity mills, now superintendent of the Mineola Mills, for Greensboro, and .J. S. Osteen, superintendent of the Brandon Mills, for Greenville. In favor of Columbia there was also a formal invitation from the superintendent^ and overseers of the Parker Mills. The following were appointed as a committee on arrangements for the convention: J. S. Osteen, of Brandon Mills; I>. P. Hollis, of Monaghan Mills; F. P. Osteen, of Poe Mills; M. Q. Alex ander, of Woodside Mills; H. G. Smith, of the Mills Manufacturing Company, T. A. Sizemore of the American Spin ning Company, and J. P. Cain, of Car olina Mills. The association has a membership of «50, and there was an attendance of 400 at the convention in Augusta last year. A California preacher shied a Bong book at a sleeping member of the congregation. He could have thwarted the designs of Morppheus In more elegant manner by prepar Ing a sermon which would have kept his hearers awake. Easter. Men Oi all denominations and of none feel the revivifying influences of the Kaster season. The new clothes of the people no less than tjiose of the fields and woods drive home the idea that a change has come, a change for the better. The effect Is stimulating, warming, electrifying. Now and then we hear individuals lamenting the decline of Christianity. If a religion is to be measured by its effect upon the people, never was Christianity so strong and vigorous as it is today. The Christian teach ings of brotherliness and sacrifice tor others control now^ as they never did before in the world’s history. The condition of the average man has been immeasurably improved dur- in.s? these latter jears. The work man of today has comforts that the king of a few centuries agp could not have. In every country of the globe there are strong currents of reform and amelioration and betterment that ha\€ been brought about by the gro.wth of the sense of brotherhood. Men are freer today than ever in the history of mankind. Bodily slav ery has almost, vanished from the globe.Political equality is the rule of civilized countries and large strides have been taken toward equality of opportunity. Peace among the nations IS safeguarded by measures that would have been thought foolish and impossible a century ago. A too close view' of the wickedness about us, of individual injustice and hardness of w^arfare and graft and crime, is distorting and makes pessimists of the spectators; the larger outlook, the bigger perspective, shows things in a truer light and compels optim ism. Take the larger outlook during the Easter season. It is appropriate, it Ms comforting, it is inspiring. And, above all, it discloses the truth.—fial- timore ETvening Sun.
