The "potato" instance was not forthcoming. The true friendsof the mine workers who are tho bi.no and sinew of Schuylkill county will welcome any movement that lias a tendency to alloviato their present de- plorablo condition, and bring to them mcjre days work. When the mine waiters are prosperous, the wheels of ovcry industry in the county are ma'do to move; when they aro idle all business circle aro affected In like manner. So far the committee, probably through no fault of theirs, bavo failed of results, with the exception of verifying all that lias been published time and again, that the miners aro in want, and aro only too anxious to secure steady employment. So far as Shenandoah is concerned, the in vest igation has been productive of very little and what information tho committee has gleaned they could bave easily ascertained without leaving their seats in the Legislature, and spent tbe time they bave occupied In tueir junketing trip throughout the region more profitably in devising and applying a 11 uiedy, if such a thing is within their ability.

Iu the history of the Christian church there hai lieyjjrbeen any difference of opin ion as to why Easter is observed, but there ha; !,aen a good deal of controversy as to when it should be kept. This was perhaps because ICastcr is one of the movable feasts .uid not fixed to one particular day like Christmas, liaster day moves backward or forward according fu the full moon next after tho vernal -equinox falls nearer or farther lroiii the equinox. lathe prayer book of tbe English okurcli the following is given as a rule to And Easter : "Easter day is always tho first jsiiuday after the full moou which liappens n),im or next after the 21st day of Marsh, and if the full moon happen upon a Sunday Easter day is the Sunday after." About the year A. D. 168 a controversy uiose as to tbe date of Easter wuleu divided all Christendom. This difference arose 01 initially bulrVe3U the churches of Asia Miuor aud tlie then so called cliurcbos of the west, the former insisting ou keeping liiator the siiuie day as tbe lewa kept their I 'ass over. Toward the end ot tbe century the discussion became so violent that Victor, the bishop ol Kome, issued an apostolic uanou li cieeing that "If any bishop, priest or deacou celshrated tbe holy feast of Easter bclore the yerual equinox, as the Jews do, list him be deposed." In tbe foui 1L1 century matters bad gone to siicli a length that the iuperor Coastautin thought it his duly to allay the controversy, iso he got an en lesiastical canou passed that Jtaster should be observed on one ad the same day. but the controversy continued unt.
