WHEELING, APItIL 1, 18W).
Eastor Giving.
To-morrow will be Easter Day, the
annual festival which is observed
throughout the Christain world in commemoration
of the resurrection of
Christ. Wherever Christians are gathered
toeether this sacred occasion will
be celebrated as a day of rejoicing, in
the places of public worship, in the
homes, in the humane institutions,
everywhere. In connection with the
celebration of Easter in memory of the
central fact of the Christian religion,
the occasion has of late years broadened
In its meaning and has become a time
of giving for benevolent purposes.
Easter offerings are coupled with the
anthems, and prayers, all cheering the
hearts of men and women, who believe
in all that the day signifies. The true
significance of the day has developed
during the centuries; it is not now a day
of solemn ceremony but a day of joy
and hope.
In connoctlnn with the thought that
Easter, the day of the resurrection, has
become a day of giving, the Intelligencer
this morning elsewhere announces
an Easter gift, received from a good
citizen, by one of "Wheeling's humane
institutions, which will prove of great
ber.etlt to it, and serve as a beautiful
example to others who have the moans
to give, and who appreciate the spirit
of the festival.
This splendid gift came to the board
of directors of the Wheeling Hospital in
the shape of a very large sum of money
which will be used as a basis for the
creation of ar. endowment fund. The
name of the liberal donor he prefers
shall not be published, and the Intelligencer
is not able to give the amount,
but knows it is a generous gift. The
giver, true to one of the great principles
of charity, prefers rather the satisfaction
of knowing the good his act will
accomplish. This Is the first large gift
the hospital has received, and It may ,
inspire other Easter govers to do likewise.
Filipinos and Their Leader.
Elsewhere will be found an interest- '
ing letter from Lieutenant Braunnersreuther,
of the navy, so well known to
.Wheeling people, addressed to Mr. Augustus
Pollack. The letter Is interesting,
because it comes from Manila,
where the lieutenant is now acting as
Captain of the Port, a very responsible
position, and was written on February
19, a little more than a month since. (
Accompanying the letter are some interesting
statistics of the shipping data
for the month of January, Indicating the
important commercial Interests of that
city even before the treaty of peace was
ratified and while the troubles with the
insurgents were in progress?in other
words while a state of war still existed.
A significant feature of this letter is
found In what Lieutenant Braunners- ,
reuther says regarding the native Filipino
character and how easily the natives
can be managed when they are released
from the influence of Aguinaldo.
Wrhat he say3 confirms what others
have written and the statement so often
made that the people of the Philippines
never wouia nave oeen in re Demon nut
for the evil influence of this conscienceless
leader who is now being pursued to
his inevitable fate. This is the view
the Intelligencer has taken all along?
the contention that the Filipinos themselves
are not to blame for the situation,
but their leaders. "The native
himself," says the writer of the letter,
"left to his own Intentions, will never
prove troublesome. They are not hard
to handle at all."
A great deal has occurred in Luzon
plnce the letter was mailed which confirms
the statements contained therein
to the effect that, while Agulnaldo had
re-organized his forces and equipped
them with Mauser rides, they would not
be found any more formidable. This
has been shown in recent fighting.
lieutenant uraunnersreuther illustrates,
with one or two Incidents, how
the wounds from the insurgent Mauser
rifles are not fo dangerous as those
from the Hmlthflclds and Remingtons
on the American nlde, which accounts
for the fact that so few of our wounded
die.
MIhw Appeal.
The Intelligencer U in receipt of a
circular Itwued by Mins Clara Barton,
the president of the American National
lied Crow, announcing the return of the
Red Cro?n to Cuba to assist In completing
the work begun during the war.
It In published In compliance with the
wlahe* of the President and the war department.
Jn connection with the revival
of the work the Red Crow KUiff
will be strengthened in the hospitals in
t the Philippines. The circular Ik adit
dressed to the American people, and
||, ulso xe'iuests the co-operation of all the
auxiliary societies that did such splen- jj?
did work during the war In Cuba anil B
Puerto Rico.
The proposition Is to establish a hospital
service In Cuba mainly for citizens
of this country who arc there, though
others needing aid will not be barred.
The most Important part of the work
will be In the Philippines until the troubles
we are having there are over and
where the greatest need Is.
To the splendid work of the Tied Cross Be
was due the fact that many lives were rsr"saved
and an enormous amount of suf- nim
ferlng was relieved In the campaigns fere
during the war with Spnln, the national JJj'1
organization having for Its principal f.Vf>
sources of supplies the auxiliary socle- Till
ties organized In hundreds of communities
throughout the country. Wheeling ^
Joined In this work, and contributed to ,arr''
the volume of aid that wei.t from the |he
homes of the people to the Red Cross rrtl
headquarters at the seat of war. y
There Is something yet to be done
among the destitute in Cuba, partlcu- am
larly among women and children, and cou
attention Is directed to this fact by Miss whl
Barton. Doubtless her appeal will be j1',
effective among the organizations that ?h;i
responded to the call during the war.. the

Tammany in Danger. heli
And now Tammany Is to be Investl- was
gated. The New York legislature has
decided to send a committee to the F
metropolis to Inquire Into how* the Tam- tlu
many administration of the police force Me,
and other afTairs of government are beIng
run. It Is to bo the Lexow business ooo
over again, and it is no more than the.
natural, since the last investigation of
a Tammany administration in New
York resulted in a cleaning out of the ^
wicked things and the institution of reare
forms, that there is a reasonable suspl- . t
clon that Tammany, having returned to
power, is up to its old tricks. ^
It is strongly evident that Tammany ^
hasn't reformed during its retirement;
its inducements are much greater now
than they were before. By the "expan- 'pj1(
slon" of the city into a greater New out
York, the field for Tammany's operatlons
has been widened considerably and
sources from -which the organization ^
can draw its revenues. vler
The purpose of the state assembly,
which is composed largely of represen- ^,c
tatives of the state at large, is to And cln
out whether Tammany has improved
much, or is as had as ever. As a certain t

Our good friend, the Moundsvllle Her- der
aid. Is kindly informed that It is at perfeet
liberty to think what it .desires eiI ,
about the loyalty of the Intelligencer to the:
the Republican party. Having been the
present at the birth of that organization,
and consistently fought for its
principles and its candidates from the ^
time of its birth down to the present
date. It will not permit itself to be dis
turbed by the Herald's objections to its "
comments on the Pennsylvania senator- PJ0
ial situation, and the many scandals ^or
connected with It. If It will be any relief,
however, to the mind of the Her- J)lcj
aid, which doesn't seem to be able to to
discriminate between a fair and just hea
criticism and party disloyalty, the Intelligencer
will state that it doesn't be- ***'
lieve in bolting party caucuses where a
they are honorably conducted; in the the
Pennsylvania case there are unusual
features developing which make it ex.
