EGGS FOR EASTER.
The Practice OF Eating Them Has q Yer.
Ancient Origin-

The Practice OF Eating Them Has a Very
Ancient origin-
The use Of eggs for Easter can be
traced says Count de Gebelin in his
"Religious History of the Calendar "
TO the theology and philosophy of the
Egyptians Persiana Gauls Greeks
and Romans, among all of whom an
egg was the symbol OF the universe
the work of the supreme divinity.
The Persians gave presents of eggs at
the feast of the New Year. /. e., the
feast of the vernal equinox, In honor
of the renewal OF all things. The
Egyptians held the egg as sacred
emblem of the renovation OF mankind
a ter the deluge. The Jews adopted
1t to suit the circumstances of their
history, as type of their departure
from Egypt and it was used in the
feast of the Passover as part OF the
furniture of the table with the Paschal
lamb" The early Druids used the
egg in their ceremonies.

A LOST CLIENT

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
we gather this news of local and general
interest:
Chairman Carter says he is going to prac-
tice law; but he will never have the repub-
lican party for Il client.
The Globe Democrat is quite right.
Mr.. Carter will never have the repub-
lican party for a client again in a ma
tlonal campaign.
Why?
There are two reasons. In the first
place, 1t is entirely probable that the re
publican party will have passed into an
unpleasant memory before the people
are called upon to elect another presi-
dent. The signs of disintegration war
rant this assumption. The old elephant
has broken almost every plank in the
bridge and he now lies at the bottom of
the stream, a %shapeless mass of wounds
and bruises. His main support, the
high tariff, is broken beyond repair; the
barbed wire fences on his old graz
ing ground in the east and west are
twisted out of shape, and in this domain
the people have come for that which be-
longs to them; his retainers have de-
serted him and the old animal is now
left to die alone.
But OF the other hand we may prop
erly assume that Mr.. Carter is too smart
to ever again be retained by a client
without a case. He did all that man
could do for his defendant, but neither
his marked ability nor the brides of
protection could fool the great Jury
of the American people this year. The
verdict was ready even before Mr.. Car
ter and his assistants took the case in
hand. 1t was a matter Of simple JUS
tice which was most generously melted
out for a long series of otfenses.
The conclusions are, therefore, that
the republican party will never again
return from its life punishment to ap-
pear as a client, and secondly, that Mr..
Carter ia too smart to aver apply to
the people for a pardon in the case of
the ~righteously punished offender.

MAKE THE RIG VT START.

Montana must have a real university.
1t should be founded, ms nearly as pos
sible, on the lines chosen by Ezra Cor
nell, when he said that he would found
an institution where instruction could
be received in all branches Of learning.
1t must DO established, not for the needs
OF to-day nor tomorrow, but for the
years to come. If this work is wisely
started and maintained, the university
of Montana will become the great edu-
Ncational center of this broad north
western empire. II a bad start is made,
future efforts will to a great degree be
wasted and we will find scattered about
this state a number of schools or col
leges all under the authority Of the
state government, but non Of which
will eve win anything more than a local
reputation. One thing should be under
stood at the outset, that is that the
next legislature in dealing with this
matter must not subserve the interests
of the state to those of any one town.
They will be called upon to locate and
establish a state university, and must
alone study the conditions by which
this can best be done. The question, in
a word, is how to make the prosperity
OF this institution enduring from the
very beginning.
The more immediate question is how
to make the right start. The way to do
this is to bring all the state educational
institutions together, where the workers
can cooperate, enjoy all opportunities
and unite in making a grand state uni
versity that will be worthy of the name.
