The generally accepted derivation oi Easter is from the Saxon oster, to rise, commemorating the day of Christ's res. urrection. In England in olden times, Easter was Q day for doing charitable deeds, and for feasting. There were many curious customs associated with the festival. People rose early and walked into the fields on Easter morn to see the sun dance, which, as ancient tradition says, it always does on that day, The young men in Yorkshire villages had custom of taking off the young girls buckels on Easter Sunday, and on the following day the young mens' shoes and buckels were removed by the young women. On Wednesday they were redeemed by small pecuniary forfsits, out of which an entertainment, called a Tansey Cake, was made, with dancing. As now, the churches were ornamented with flowers on Easter, as smblems of the Resurrection.
 "The most common and best pre- served custom probably is the coloring of eggs, called Pasche eggs They toe are an emblem of the rising up out of the grave, in the same manner us 6 chick, entombed in the shell is in due time brought to life. Eggs were held by the Egyptians as sacred emblem of the renovation of mankind after the Deluge. The Persians, on the 20th of March, kept the festival of the solar New Year which lasted several days, when they presented each other with colored eggs. In Mssopotamia, as ear. ly Rs 1894, the children of Christians, on Easter and for forty days after wards, stained eggs with red color iu memory of the blood of Christ, shed al the cruoifxion.

 Is there not great similarity in the situation today? Do not the banks and the gold monopolists control the currency instead of it's being dona by the people? Do they not make money plenty or scarce to suit thoir gambling propensitiss, and to place wealth in the hands of the few, and take it from the pockets of the toiling millions of work CTS; and has not ths time arrived when the people should arise in their might and call halt?

sMIr pr,Lp,Sc ON THE LAKES.

Senator McMillen of Michigan pre-. sonted resolution from the ship build CTS of the Great Lakes, asking Con gress to abrogate the treaty of 1877, with Great Britain limiting the number of armed vessels Co ba maintained on the lakes by both nations, and to take the necessary action to secure 20 foct waterway from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean entirely within the Uni ted States jurisdiction which was signed by the Detroit, the Clark, the F. w. Wheeler & Co.,, the Craig, the Chicago, the Cleveland and ths Union Ship Building and Dry Dock Companies and Globe Iron Works
 Since the treaty was made, the enor- nous growth of the country on the United States side of the line has been far in excess of that on the Canadian side The ship builders represent that the iron and steel building plants al9hg the lakes exceed in combined facilities, in magnitude and capital the interests of all other ship building plants com bined.
 This is q move in the right direction and should be followed up by having Congress pay little more attention to our Coast defences, not only on the sea shore, but also upon tho Great Lakes. As we have such an "enorm- ous surplus of silver, let it be used in adding to our defences, as well as mak- ing further additions to our Navy Mass meetings should be called togeth- CT all over the country, on that grand old day the Fourth of July, and our representatives in Congress, instructed to devote little more attention to practical business, and triAe less to political chicanery. The country IS certainly getting heartily tired and dis gusted with the pot house political methods of many Congressmen and others high in authority, who are seem. ingly out of place in Washington, and appear to think they were merely sent there for the purpose of scheming for a continuance n office, instead of attend ing to the legitimate business for which they were sent there by the people. II is high timp that tho masses who are do facto tle Government, should teach these deInagoguos a lesson and the sooner it is done the better, so that wa may do, and net as tirst-class nation should, ard not be trucking to effets monarcbies as we are doing, and have been in the late past, instead of being q free ard independent nation as we claim tt, be.
