SMALL LOSSES BUT GREAT RESULTS.
The Japanese lost in tho late war
Of nearly year with China $3.50 men,
Of whom only 795 were killed in battle
or died OF wounds. The remainder died
OF diseases, s,4s9 from cholera alone.
When the number OF men engaged on
both sides Is considered the NOR saiity
character Of the combatsnts is taken
into consideration. But tTifllng, oom-
parstlvely, as the loss of life was the
results of the conflict promise to be far
reaching. Japan is now recognized as
che England Of the east, aud from the
treaties secured, China will be largely
opened to the trade and commerce OF
the world.
There will Of course for some time TO
come be vigorous oppositions on the
part of the Celestials to the inroads of
foreigners. which Japan's victory as
sures; but whether they submit wi tn
good or bad grace will make no Diff
ference in the end, for Europe and
opportunities offered, and China hersel f
will be greatly benefited by contact
with the "barbarians" of the rest of
the world. a new field for missionary
work will also be opened in that country,
and though the recent riots and destruc-
tion OF property may be temporarily
discouraging, the advance guard Of
Christianity will push forward till the
seeds OF the true religion have been
scattered broadcast over that benighsed
land.
Japan also will not be neglected, for
while the people of that country have
made wonderful progress in the past
thirty years, they have much to learn,
especially in connection with the Bible
and the mission of the Savior upon this
earth. That either China or Japan will
be neglected in this respect there is no
reason to fear. The examples of those
who have hitherto braved every danger
to spread the gospel in hesthen lands
will rouse thousands to renewed effort
in that direction, and with the chances
so improved by recent events In those
far away countries. 1t may we'll be ex
pected that marvellous progress will be
made IN extending the benefits and
blessings OF Christianity to those who
have lived for ages in darkness and
ignorance.

THE NATIONS POWER.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OLNEY'S
ARGUMENT.
He Defends the Government Proceed
ing in the Chicago strike As Being
Justified Under the Provisions of In
terstate Commerce Act

Washington, March 26.-The hearing
on the application of Eugene " nebs
and others for writ Of habeas con
pus for their release from imprisonment
was resumed promptly on the opening
of the Supreme court of the United
States at noon today. Attorney General
Olney said the single question before
the Supreme court was whether the
court below had jurisdiction of the case
made by the original bill. and proceeded
TO show, that, as he viewed the mat
ter, that 1t had. He passed Immediately
to the consideration of the strike
as violation of interstate
commerce relations. Intercourse and
transr Ton between the states and
lltLe.hs entalities of either are ad-
mittedly parts of interstate commerce.
Having power to control it congress has
not permitted the power to lie dormant,
but has freely and decisively exercised
1t. He then enumerated several of the
federal laws bearing on the questions
of interstate traffic, including those ap-
plying TO the mail service those reIat-
Ing to the carrying of live stock and
those requiring the use of certain kinds
of brakes, etc. He continued; by the
act the principles in accordance with
which interstate transportation shall be
conducted are laid down and defined.

penalties, and, % crown the whole. ali

as present. I'd by congress, are faithfully
discharged. p
Finally, recognizing the existence of
an evil of greater magnitude. congress,
by an act of Oct. /. 1888. made provision
for the creation of boards of arbitration
to settle controversies between rail
road companies and their employees
when such controversies are having the
effect of hindering and interrupting
interstate commerce."
The attorney general admitted that
1t was the duty of the state authorities
TO deal with certain phases of the Of
lenses committed, and said. IF they
had done so promptly and vigorously
the interruption of interstate railroad
transportation might possibly have
ceased. but instead of their doing this
they allowed day after day To pass
marked either by total inactivity or by
effort so ill-directed and inadequate as
to aggravate all the evils Of the sltua-
ton. Hence 1t became necessary for the
government for the suppression of the
tense OF individuals. but in obedience to
its obligations to protect Interstate
commerce. and because 1t is the duty of
every government to exercise it's func-
tions whenever occasion requires"
Mr. Olney passed on to the considera-
ton of the means al the command of the
government to step in. not only in de-

so far as practicable to deal with it.

Easter Eggs.

The use of eggs on Easter day,
sometimes called Pasche. or paste
I eggs, has come down to the present
time. writes Jane Searle on an article
on Easter and Easter Customs, in
the April Ladies' Home journal.
Eggs were held by the Egyptians as a
sacred emblem of the renovation of
mankind after the deluge Tho Jews
adopted them to suit the circumstanc-
es OF their history as type OF their
departure from the land Of Egypt
They were also used in the feast of
the Passover
Hyde. in his description of Oriental
sports, tells Of one with eggs among
the Christians Of Mesopotamia on East
er day, and forty days afterwards:
THE sport consists in striking their
eggs one against another, and the egg
that first breaks is won by the owner
OF the one that struck it. Immediate
" another egg is ptted against the
winning egg, and so on till the last
egg wins all the others. which their
respective owners shall before have
won
In Germany, sometimes instead OF
eggs at Easter. an emblematic print
is occasionally presented. One OF
these is preserved in the print-room
OF the British Museum. Three hens
are represented as upholding basket.
in which are placed three eggs orna-
mented with representations illustrate
i've Of the Resurrection; over the CEN
tire egg the .Agnus Del" with a
chalice representing faith; the other
eggs bearing the emblems of charity
and hope.
