In the field. After awhile the Swifts
changed their residence for one in Chi
cago, and George attended first the Skin
ner school and later for one year the Chi
cago University. He did not enter poll
tics till 1877, when he was elected alder
man from the Seventh Ward. Under
Mayor Roche he was made Commissioner
of Public Works, and under President
Garfield was a special treasury agent. He
has served three or four terms in the
Council altogether, besides filling out
Mayor Harrison's unexpired term as chief
magistrate.
The civil service act was adopted by
almost as large vote as placed the can

Next to the surprising victory of the Re-
publicans and the adoption of the civil
service bill the most sensational feature
of the election was the contest George
A. Trude gave his Republican opponent
for city attorney.
Town Governments Are Republican.
The Republicans captured all the town
governments. The West Town, which
has been counted solidly Democratic,
went Republican by good majority. The
Democrats did not give up the fight until
the returns had shown that the increase
in the Republican vote was general
throughout the city. The Peoples party
vote reached scarcely One-third of that

party were swallowed up in the same tidal

nominees.

Organized Campaign to Relieve Over
crowded Eastern Cities.
Chairman William Il. Smythe of the Ma
tional Irrigation Committee, representing
the irrigation congress of twenty Western
States, inaugurated an Eastern campaign
for his cause in Wells Memorial Hall,
Boston, the other night. Edward Ever
EFT Hale presided and made a vigorous
speech in favor of an organized effort to
divert surplus population to surplus lands
and develop industries and social institu-
tions that would prove a strong attraction
TO the masses. He thought this move
ment one of the most important under
taken in many years.
Mr.. Smythe declared that 1.-THE cause of
the West is the cause of the nation" ar
guing that there is a direct relation be-
tween the surplus lands in the new States
of the far West and the pressure of econ
omic conditions in the East. He believes
tits necessary 10 provide an outlet not only
for the unemployed, but as a means of
bettering the conditions of the middle
classes. He claimed that larger per-
centage of tenants is found in the United
States than in any other civilized coun-
try except Great Britain.

western Breeders May Find . Mar
ket In Germany.
In view of the closing of German mar
kets to American cattle there is another
direction towards which American pack
ers might well turn their attention, and
that is the preparation and sale of horse
meat. The above il the suggestion made
by United States Consul X. w. Tingle,
at Brunswick, Germany, in a report to
the State Department.
He says that in large German cities the
consumption of horse meat is almost as
great as that of beef and mutton and 1t is
growing in the smaller towns. OF course
the customers are exclusively of the poor
er classes, but they compose nine-tenths
of the consumers of the country and the
meat is sold for cents pound as
against beef at from 10 to % cents.
The consul sets out reasons to prove
that horse meat is quite as good as beef.
He says the demand has increased so rap
idly in Germany that it is difficult to meet
II, and whereas butchers formerly paid
from So to $40 for a wornout horse for
slaughter, they now pay $45 and $50, and
prices are rising. The consul sees here a
great opportunity for American packers.
He says the horse supply in America
is practically inexhaustible; they can be
raised in the West cheaper than cattle
and are more easily shipped. The meat
cannot be canned, but 1t can be furnished
salted or smoked as well as fresh, just as
ii is used In Germany.
The report touches upon the astonish-
ingly rapid disuse of horses in America
consequent upon the introduction of the
trolley ear, which has made horse raising
in the West Improbable, and urges that
the ranchmen may find relief by raising
horses for food; the prejudice against the
meat in America being no good reason
why he should not profit by the different
state of things in another country.

EASTER CUSTOMS.

Easter week is a time of general re-
joicng in Paris; everybody presents ev-
eryone else with little present emblem
atical of an egg. French ingenuity ex-
hausts itself in the manufacture of egg
shaped articles of all conceivable forms
and materials. Go where you will, you
see eggs and their nests. The shops are
full of egg-shaped boxes, the receptacles
of candy, jewelry or toys. Here you
have chocolate eggs full of cream where
the yelk should be, and again, ivory eggs
within which is scent bottle. Women
are wheeling barrows on which are piled
in separate heaps white and colored eggs.
Some of the nests are beautiful works of
art. Here is stoat or weasel stealthily
climbing up tree to suck the eggs, while
the parent bird is represented with her
feathers ruffied in a threatening attitude,
to drive away the intruder. Here, again,
a cuckoo-a European cuckoo, our Ameri-
can bird is above such tricks-has turned
out a little chaffinch egg which lies brok-
en- on the ground below, while she left
her own for foster parent to hatch. In
former days eggs were exchanged as an
avowal of sentiment much as valentines
have been in our own day and generation,
and were painted and gilded and set in
gold, and ofttimes brought great prices.
Eggs, hard-boiled and colored, were much
used by boys to play ball with, and it is
said the clergy did not disdain to indulge
in the game. According to an old chron-
icler, it even formed part of the church
service. There are records of many curl
Gus Easter customs. In Russia, every

chair, gayly decked with ribbons and ar.
tificial flowers, is placed in front of some
inn or house of public resort, upon the
seat of which is raw egg. The chair is
attended by a number of gayly dressed
damsels, who seize upon any man pass
ing, and, despite his kicking and struggles
seat him in the chair, from which he is
not allowed to escape until he is kissed
by all the attendant graces. On Easter
day, on the western slope of the Alps, a
hundred eggs are distributed over level
space covered with sand, and young
man and woman execute a dance of the
| country among the eggs. 1t is the un-
written law of the locality that if they
succeed in completing the ''branle" with
out breaking single egg. they become
affianced, with or without the consent of
parents or guardians. Here in America
we are learning to observe more habitual-
ly and affectionately the holidays of the
Christian Church; the stern spirit of Puri-
tanism, instead of prohibiting their OBJ
servance altogether, now prefers to instil
into their celebration purer and more
refined spirit, substituting for the coarse.
rough, and sometimes profane customs of
former times, those more fitted to ex-
press quiet and reverent remembrance of
the import of such days, anal to cherish
charity and affection for all men.-Wav-

1t Is so. Thus each year this festival be-
comes a richer thing to us, and we realize
more the truth of our own immortality.
We must realize this Immortality. Christ
knew Himself, and in His personality,
His Immortality, He felt throbbing and
