THE OMAHA DAILY BE If t-T SUB DAY , APRIL 10 , 1808. FREEDOM COMES WITH TODAY Society Again Emanclpritod from Lont's ' Solemn Restraint. SPRING FESTIVITIES IN PROSPECT | Cnny Plan * far IMrnMtrr IJiirlnw Jlonllin i > Come Art ? Sow Mn- turrit , While 1'rrnent Knjor- iiiont ! rrovltlcd. The ban on society baa been rcmovca. The religiously good youth and maidens who have faithfully observed their Lenten duties and refrained from the enjoyment of numberless aoclal pleasures are now free to accept what ever Invitations they please. The prospectus lor movements In local society during the remainder of the year la a brilliant one , and - " marriagebell. . " II ehould-go "merry us a - A glance at the prospective pleasures shown several dances for the present month. The two organizations of the swell set that did co much toward promoting the dances of the winter , the one among the younger mar ried folk , and the other with the beaux and belles , will shortly rcnumo their enjoyable affaire. Lew elaborate homo affairs , Includ ing dances , card parties , luncheons and din ner parties , are also being arranged with worne-show of returned activity. A goodly list of marriages indicates that Cupid's work lias not coated , but proves that In the spring young folks' fancy lightly turns to thoughts of conjugal happiness. Hut ninny of the spring pleaaurco of so ciety followers will be In the form of outdoor sports. The golf links at Happy Hollow have been In good condition , and every now and then one uccs some of the fair ones , appro priately arrayed for the Scottish game , wend ing their way toward the popular links. The prospect of fine weather almost aasurea that there will be many players go out from now on to Indulge In a little preparatory practice for the games that nro to come. When our cantern cousins visit us this summer It will bo necessary .for our local player * to exhibit Biicli expcrtnesri In the game as will Indicate experience of four or live seasons , whether wo have played the game that long or not. Then the Hiding club has been reorganized , and on Tuesday last a number of the young women and older men belonging to the elub made their first nppcamnce on their well croomed t'tcetls. They enjoyed a rldoto Uellevuo and return , and arc llltely to enjoy many moro as the warm season cornea along. 'IJeyond ' the Indoor amenities and the out door sports that are already provided for the Hpring months there is many a thought turned toward the question of adequate en tertainment for guests during the exposition. In all the hading households the era of eprlng house cleaning waa lengthened and the work made more thorough In anticipation of the visitors who ure to come to Omaha on passes or ticket * for SO per cent of double the local fare. It will be easy enough to plan for their entertainment by daylight , for aside from the expedition there will bo trips to the principal points of interest about town , visits to the few but elegant suburban residences , and a plenitude of golf , tennis mid league base ball for the eastern girl who can keep a detailed score In a match of the national game without a mistake. Tor the evenings at the exposition , It Is said , there will be little parties of congenial young folks , with ono or three chaperonca , to see the electrical display and hear the music , and nvtybo drink some cooling llyuld , at the ex position grounds. None who visited the World's fair con fall to recall the pleasant meetings at the Ger man village and other places of refreshment and It Is only natural that there should be some expectancy regarding similar Institu tions at the exposition. As one fair maiden expressed herself recently : "Oh , dear , I do iope that there will bo , some place at the -exposition where we can go and hear some gcod music and get some cold beer , without causlnc talk all about town. As It Is now there Is not a single place In town where papa would thing of letting mo so. " The recent reunion of a number of alumni of an eastern university has brought forth the suggestion that each of the leading In stitutions of learning , western as well as eastern , have a set place and a set time at the exposition for singing their college songs and drinking their beer together. At Chicago In 1893 most of the leading colleges had one nljht of each week set apart for ithe meeting of the representatives of that institution. It Is proposed to adopt this plan at the exposition , for It is not now believed that the awful war will double the price ol beer. Should the suggestion be , followed oul wo mar bo prepared to hear of many jolly companies on the Midway of - theTransmls - Blsslppl and International Exposition and In at least some.of them the young maidens If properly attended by chaperoncu , will bo permitted to participate. The alumnae society lately formed In con nection with the academics of the Slstcro o Mercy in an organization of special Inter est not only to the old pupils , whose leveler lor their school hca strengthened with years but to all who are interested In a reflnec Christian education. The academy con ducted by the Sisters of Mercy Is the oldest In the state and Its pupils already occupy honored positions In the different walks o life. The preliminary meetings of the asso ciation have been most enjoyable reunions. Mrs. C. V. Gallagher was chosen first president of the society and Miss Stella Bhuno secretary for the ensuing year. These energetic women , with their able assistants will undoubtedly direct the asioc atlan in aucl a manner as to reflect credit on their alma mater. Tjho alumnae will entertain its guests et the residence of Mr. and Mrs. K. W. Nash Thirty-eighth and Hurt streets , on AVednes day evening , April 20 , at 8 o'clock.

If Easter tltnp s Indicative of peace , should Its celebration ot temper the tendencies .to war nud blood- hed aroused by recent diplomatic events ? The opinions of a number of prominent local hurchmen on thcae questions follow ; Rev. Frank A. Warfleld , pastor First Con- rogatlonal church : "The coming of the faster season prompts a serious thought onccrnlOK the national situation which con- rents us today. It woulJ be a sad consum ption , of Eastertide for two nations , which elebratc In song and with imposing ceremo nials the triumph of the Prince of Peactto lunge Into a strlfo whose effect would be to nako Inevitable suffering and bloodshed. If he spirit of Christ prevailed , there would > e some way out of present complications , > oldes recourse to arms with all which that avolvcs. "In this year of our Lord the horrors vhlch obtain upon the /air Island of Cuba light to be Impossible ; they naturally arouse liM tutlon to protest most vigorously and to emand Immediate accession of these Inhu- nnn nicthcdd of subjecting an asplr- ng p-cople. We should vacate our claim to ank as a Christian natlo.i If we remained llent and Inactive under these clrcurn- Unccs. But there ought to be some In- luence suinclent to stop .these enormities nd correct those inhumanities without pliwglng nations Into the abyjs of war. "I would not Insist upon the Iniquity of var , since It Is clearly justified under cer- aln conditions , but simply urge that con- iltlons ought to be controlled so 33 to render t unnecessary. "There Is something adnilrablo. In the pontancous sympathy ot this nation for he sufferers of Cuba , and the openhanded ; cneroslty for the relief of prevailing dls- rcss Is greatly to the credit of the American iDople. "If we have duties toward a suffering pco- plr we have also certain duties toward an er ring people through whose misrule pres ent conditions have come to exist. A clear ecognltltu of these would lead us to ex- laust every means before taking steps which vould Involve the nation In n strife that , rorn a military standpoint , could have but cue outcome , as It seems to us ; but from a } hrlstlan and humanitarian standpoint would nvolve questions whose final outcome Is not so clear.Most of us , therefore , applaud the cautloa and conservatism of President Mc- Clnley In this crisis , while we equally applaud ho active preparations which are being made 'or the worst , nhould'.lt ' come. The best twwa vhteh could be' sent out to the nation thU faster day would he that some settlement las been reached , which precludes the neces sity of war , while It secures the recognition of the- claims of humanity which have been so persistently urged by our government. n'Tliero can be no doubt that such a solu tion would bet't ' harmonize the eplrlt and meaning of Easter , which the ChrUtlan church celebrates ttils Sabbath day. While the attitude of no'nrcalstance , which the Srcat Teacher enjoined in the sermon on the Mount , is not inconsistent with wielding the scourge of ( small cords and the purging of the temple by violent means , still there van be no question' that the tenor of Christ's teachings and the weight of His example In dicate that severer methods are to bo em ployed only when all others have fulled. "Our superior'strength ought not to tempt us to undue haste 'lii precipitating' a conflict. It Is not whether our 70,000,000 are stronger than Spain's 17,000.000 it is not a question whether our navy la superior In speed and power to the Spanish navy not whether we are living on Easy street while Spain Is mov ing into Bankrupt alley , but rather whether wo have exhausted all our resources to bring about in a Christian way an adjustment of the difficulties ! . Having done this we can look forward 'to the struggle which appears to bo before us in confidence , assured that the higher right will triumph ; but it would be unwise to handicap ourselves by giving any ground for the charge that we took ad vantage of the desperate political fituatlon of another power. "If peace is secured , let It be su-ch peace us ensures the recognition of nn abused people and as conforms to Christian prin ciple ; if war must come , let it be euch as shall secure for our arms the approval of Christian nations and the protection of a favoring Providence. We can atand such a war aa that , but not any other. " Rov. John McQuold , pastor First Methodist Episcopal : "At the birth of Christ , whose reourrectlon wo icelebrato this Sabbath day , the angels sang 'Peace on Eurth. ' And In the Sermon on the Mount , the authoritative declaration of the constitution of the king dom Ho came to establish , Ho declares , 'Blessed are the peacemakers' 'Love your enemies' 'Do good to them that hate you. ' "And yet thin Easter Sabbath , two pro fessedly Christian nations are on the verge of war. This Eceir.s Incongruous ; and our Easter joys will be greatly saddened by the thought of the possible bloodshed , ruin , broken hearts , desolate homes and im measurable , misery. Every thoughtful humane man must deprecate war. Gen eral Grant oi.ce eald , 'I never wish asaln to see cvta a single regiment under arms for battle. ' "Wo must , however , remember that Chrlsl also raiil 'Think not that I am come to EPI.C ! peace on earth ; I came not to send peace , but a sword. ' Strange contradiction ! Yel the contradiction is only apparent It is nol real. real."Tho "Tho peace of which Christ sneaks can come perfectly only with the catnbllshmi'nl of the Kingdom of God and its righteousness. It is not peace with wrongs uurlghtcd nni ! evil triumphant. Such peace is synonymous with dlohonor. Christ's ultimate ptuno can come only when every tyranny is broken , every wrong avenged and every evil thing swept Into the outer darkness. "U Is needless to restate facts and condi tions with which all are acquainted. The wrongs , misery and oppression ot Cuba make a most righteous , pathetic and emphatic ap peal. Should the mtlon , by the logic ol events , he compelled- fight with Spain II would have the earnest prayers and < ntcm loyalty of every Christian pulpit In all lands not subjected 9 , the government of the Dons. " " , * ' i' ' Rev. Joaeph Jj.jLanjpe , Presbyterian Theo logicalseminary : , [ " ,1/801 , a man ot peace , but not of peace at anyprlco. , | If the accounts ' ' of the utter mls'a'ry , and , destitution In Cuba are true , an we 1'vive.e.very reason to believe , " said Mr. _ LampeiWiloU our duty to see that the condition * arc righted. Every means ol diplomacy shouldbeu , < ied , but In case these fall the government must resort to Uie fcrco of arms.

Alexander Gllthrlst : "In my opinion the time waa rlpo for euch a course. I have entire confidence In the policy of the admki- Litratlon and believe that President McKln- ley is playing tlie part of a courageous am conservative leader.

" Rev , F. H. Ssndcmn , Trinity Methodist jpliuopal church : "I am opposed to war t It can bo averted and the national honor md dignity ivmlntatricil.

Hit If the Cubans can be freed In no other1 vay than by war , then I mil converted Into a belligerent. " i Rev. John 'E. English , St. Peter's : "From a Christian and every other standpoint I hlnk that war with Spain Is lamentable and o be much regretted. I appreciate fully hat It will arise partly out of purely human- tarlan sympathies for the suffering Cubans. anil while I believe that the condition on ho Island Is exaggerated , I nevertheless hlnk that there Is good grounds for the ro * lorts. Yet 1 question whether the United States on Christian and other grounds ought o go to the extent ot declaring war to bring about the end of such a condition. In my opinion this deslro for war has been arouied more out of a Rcnral dwlro to tight than anything else nnd that If the chance cKered the people who are crying fcr war vould bo ns eager to have the country declare - clare war agalnat England or France or any ) thcr country as against Spain. Therefore .n this Eastertide 1 cannot but deprecate this iicsriblllty of war against Spain. " The lit. Rev. Bishop Scannell of the dlo- : ese of Omaha feels that so very little Is' \nown by the public concerning the Cuban trouble that It la unfair to pass Judgment on the matter. Ho has great confidence in the wisdom of the president and thinks the public should restrain Its Impatience and awelt the decision of men who have a com- ileto knowledge of existing conditions' . War , 10 says , would be deplorable In this end of : hc nineteenth cdntury and he hopes that ? raln will yield to the demands of the United States with reference to Cuba and afford a : ieaceful settlement of the grave situation. OUTLI.VK OF TIIK MKSH.U : 1C. 1'orcoiiNl iif What I'l-cslclent MulCtn- liry Jlay .Say. NEW YORK , April 9. A special to ( do World frcin Washington eays : Tlio tilgh privilege of seeing the president's message has been accorded to only four per sons outside the cabinet loading men in th lallonal government and U Is most signifi cant that each of these four men now cx- preoies his personal belief that war Is In evitable. Having seen what the president will communicate to congress , they declare that no other result le possible. The opening > art ot the message Is devoted to a terse re view of the wdolo Cuban insurrection. It is shown that It directly concerns the peoplfl of the United States , Iticlr interests In the .aland and on the hlfd seas. The patience ot our people , what they have done and what they have forebore to do la pointed out. The- president then recites specific acts , showing [ ho origin and spread of anarchy In thu Island. He refers In detail to the devastation of fertile plantations , he points out the starvation of an Innocent and Inoffensive people as a result of this anarctiy , wlilch the Spanish government has never been able to quell , and In which , recently , Spanish offlcpra have participated. This theme of existing anarchy In fact runs all through the message anarchy , that Is "the whole history of the Cuban war , " as the president himself terms It. It Is against this anarchy that the forces ot the United States are to bo promptly used If the Spanish government , at the final hour , does not grant the conceptions absolutely necessary to re move and destroy It. The president points out the Justification for Interference by the United States. In hlo. opinion , plainly and explicitly expressed , this Interference should take the form of forcible Intervention , eo that the anarchy and lawlessness now existing st9ll , have Im mediate end. There arc two counts In the Indictment drawn by the president , both due to Spain's complete failure to maintain law and order. The flnit count Is the menace to the com merce of the wccld and particularly to that part which Is supported by the United States and protected by Its flag. TCie president gives specific Instances ot the depreciation of American commerce with the West Indies since the virtual overthrow of civil govern ment In Cuba was accomplished by the crea tion of a government which has its founda tion in anarchy. But it I. . * In the eecond fount that the presi dent describes to the people of the United States the terrible results of this lawlessness under Spcnlsh rule. Here he- deals with < he destruction of the Maine. In plain , forclblo language the president declares that the blowing up of the battleship In Havtna harbor was the direct result of the failure of the Spanish , the Cuban or any government claiming to administer laws In the Island of Cuba to' suppress the condition of anarchy existing there. Then there is set forth this noteworthy fact : The Spanish government has not , since the -day the Maine was destroyed , either through Its diplomatic representative In Washington or through the American repre sentative in Madrid , disavowed the responsi bility for that destruction. The prerlde.it points out as evidence of the discourtesy of Spain the failure of the government to establish the Innocence of It * servants In connection with the less of eo many lives on the ship of a friendly nation within the jurisdiction of Its own alleged government. As for Spain's protest against being held responsible .tor the loss of the battleship , the president treats that as a simple diplomatic protection , having no tangible evidence to support It. The solo declaration In the protest of Spain at all worthy of consideration. In the president's opinion , Is the assumption that the cause of the explosion was internal , but ho Insists tlfat the SpanUh government has not pre sented a single fact to Justify this theory. The message does not contain a single ; en couraging word for the so-called govern ment of the Repabllc of Cuba. The presi dent does not suggest any recognition of the Republic of Cuba , Ho says ho does not know that the people of Cuba are In full accord with the so-called republic. That Is a matter , he thinks , for them to settle for themselves , without reference to the United States or Interference by the United States. The president most vigorously sets forth STIIHI1V IIAIIIICS. Mother * lit n ( luninliiry AVlieu Tilt ; I'ooil .Supply TallM.

Thla , ho declares , nocortllnR to our code of morala , would bo a crime. There In no do- lrn on tlip part o ! the American people to profit by the misfortunes of Spain. The president's treatment ot the annexa tion pnpcsltlon Is not encouraging to Its promoters. The United States , he declares , does not desire to acquire territory Its In tervention U Inspired by Its desire as a civil- zed government to check the barbarities that lave characterized the anarchistic war now elgnlMg In Cuba. The clvlllzr-d code uf war las lietn disregarded , the president sayn , no ens so by the Spaniards than by the Cubans. The existing conditions cannot but fill this tovemmcnt and the American people with the grcatert apprehension. The message furnishes no definite condit ion as to the next step to be taken. H merely suggests that -the fuels which the irealdent sfts forth Justify Immediate action > y congress. The message Itself bears , cvl- Irnco that the president hlmnulf nan pur- losely refrained from making direct nnd specific recommendations.
