EASTER SUBWAY.
A Day That is Coming to Have Almost
as Much Recognition as Christmas.

Easter is coming to have almost al
much recognition as Christmas. Sucf
emperors of old as Theodosius and Val
entinian marked the occasion by opening
the gates of prisons and allowing all who
were not of the baser sort to 60 free For
the great JOY it inspired it was called
"Dominica Gandii'-the Lords day of
| 10y. The derivation of the term "Easter rs
is involved in much obscurity. Some
trace it to the Anglo Saxton "Ostre," to
raise, or to the German, erstehen, Err
stand, while others 60 to the Phoenioians
Tor an origin. The origin of the custom
OF giving away colored Easter eggs is in
teresting. Eggs played an important
part in the theology and philosophy
OF ancient people, as the Egytians, Per-
SLAMS, Greeks and Romans, long before
the dawn of Christianity. Everything
was said to come from an egg. Easter
eggs were formerly conseorated.
Inc ritual of Paul V for the use of Eng.
land, Scotland, and Ireland includes the
form OF conservation. In Rome and
Athens boys knocked colored eggs to.
gether to see which held the stronger, az
was the custom of English boys, and is
the custom today in many places.
Two explanations are given Of the orr.
gin of the Easter egg practice. The col.
ored egg,a possible case of color-sym-
bollsm, essentially heather idea, may
be associated with the day of resurrection,
as the chick bursting it's shell may typi-
~ the rising from the grave.
Or the custom rs transmitted to us, is a
survival from religious usage intended
to effect the transference by lot of the
diseases with which the egg pla, ers we're
afflicted"
In our day Easter is a festival of new
bonnets, gowns and clothes. For years |
IN England there has been superstition
that 1T is unlucky not to wear new clothes
on eastern day.
Does not Mercutio ask Benvolio in |
Romeo and Jnliet,' if he did mot fall
out with tailor for wearing his new
doublet before Easter"
Young folks in English villages 20 to
the nearest town to buy new ornament
or article of dress to wear on Easter
day.
"At Easter let your clothes be new or
else be sure you will rue it," says "Poor
Robins Almanac"
In older days in England monks at
Easter acted plays in churches, and the
favorlte subject was naturally the Resur-
rection. Lists of the properties used In
some of these sacred shows have come
down to us. Even the sun was said to
lance on Easter day. Many people wop-
Ter why Easter Sunday does not come on

Before the bishop RECEIVERS from that
blow all the chances are that the ref
cree will have counted the fatal tel We
like the ex-senator's account of his own
contest with Bishop McCabe much bet
ter than his account of the contest be-
tween Corbett ard Fitzsimmons. This
little contest between the bishop mill
tant and the ex-senator is only sur
passed by the famous passage-at- arms
between Gil Bias and the archbishop.
And what a beautiful BODY blow right
over the heart it was when the ex-sen-
ator told the bishop that it was evil
dent that he had read the accounts of
the brutal fstic tournament" at Car

about disreputable transaction as to

THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN.


There is great deal of talk already
about the next mayor and city council,
although the election is some seven
months off, Rarely have the people
been so interested in a city election so
many months before it is.-to occur as
they are now But it is all a good sign
and shows that the people are inter
ested in those things that most directly
concern them. The question of the
city is of much greater personal con-
Germ to the inhabitants of it than any
question of tariff or other policy AS
they are we'll or i'll administered is a
matter of vital moment to the people.
And for this reason the interest now
being taken in the coming city election
is good sign. 1t shows that the peo-
pie are not satisfied with matters as
they now are. and this fact will have
a tendency to mend matters in the
meantime.
All this talk about candidates for the
various municipal offices also means
that the politicians and place hunters
are getting into the field early and lay
ing their pipes. They will be active
energetic and full of schemes, and
when the time for holding the prima-
ries comes they will be on hand and
have their well-drilled forces there to
capture them. These things should be
borne in mind. The great thing that
the voters and taxpayers want to bear
in mind is that their interests will be
best served by putting none but the
very best men in office. tt is by no
means so easy a matter to get the best
men for city offices as it would at first
seem. When it comes to nominating a
mayor and city council the voters
should seek the men. It is nothing at
ali against man that he offers him
self as candidate for office but in
looking round for suitable men the
voters should not confine their search
to those who are avowed candidates,
which is the usual practice.
There is ample time in which to |
study all the problems that confront |
the city and for the people to look |
round and ascertain who are the fittest |
men to deal with them. Let the next
city government be the best that Salt
Lake City ever had.

PROTECT THE BIRDS.

The Chicago Inter Ocean saws that
the Woman's club of that city has done
another good thing by declaring war
upon the senseless and inhumane fash
ion of wearing BIRDS or their plumage,
on hats But the club wisely goes be-
yond the utterance of mere sentiment,
it saws, and resolves in favor of legis-
lation that shall protect birds; and that
such legislation is needed. The song
birds grow more scarce yearly, and the
insect-eating birds, too. grow more
rare. The farmer, the fruit grower,
and the cultivator of a city or suburban
lawn have an economic interest in the
action proposed by the Chicago Wom-
ans club. The wanton destruction of
the feathered race has attained pro-
portions that are not less than Aiming.
All that is commendable and is an
example worthy of being followed by
every womans club in the country
There is need for protection to the
birds, for from all parts of the country
comes the same cry that the birds are
being destroyed and that determination
threatens some species. In our own
state there is legislation for the pro-
lection of the birds, and so far as we
know it is generally pretty we'll re-
spected. But aside from a mere re-
spect for the laws forbidding the kill
ing Of birds the children of the state
should be taught to love them. OF
those who do not love birds and flowers
it might almost be said as of those who
fit for treasons, stratagems, and
sDoils."

AFTER A YEAR.


The slender lilies nod their heads
On either side the garden way,
And all along the flower beds
Tall foxgloves stand in fair array;
The throstle, in the pear tree near,
Still carols. as when first we came,
The safe old song he sang last year,
And we, we are no more the same.
How strong the lilies smell, How neat
The ordered rosebuds, row on row,
1t S still the scene that seemed so sweet
year agO-a year ago.
We noticed how that apple bough
Stood out so green against the sky,
IT. just as fair as ever now,
But we are altered, you and 1.
The days have come between US two
And moved us ever more apart;
We cannot, as we used to do,
Tell to each other all our heart,
Only q year since last we met.
But in that year what things have
beenl
We walk. we talk together. yet
We cannot bridge the gulf between.
All looks unchanged, save us alone,
We've drifted into other ways;
Time turns the page, the past is gone,
And naught restores the vanished days.
The flying hours new scenes reveal,
We never fancied. you and l.
They could come when we should feel
No longer sad to say good-by.

from the backwoods was elected coroner

election he amazed the ordinary by ask

PROSPERITY'S DELAY.

There is no disputing the fact that
there is a very decided delay in the re-
turn of prosperity, but the explanations
most, as the sands on the sea shore
The very latest one, and one that can
not fail to raise smile, is that given
by Senator Foraker. He says he is
convinced real prosperity" cannot be
brought about until there has been leg
islation on the subject Of railroad pool
ing. What an admission from the
Ohio senator! This admission is moth
ing but the sounding of his famous fire
alarm. And let it be needed lest there
be widespread devastation. But is it
impertinent to inquire why real pros
perity" was not brought about before
the supreme court decided that rail-
road pooling was illegal? The decision
declaring it illegal was delivered on the
:2nd inst, but even up to that date the
signs of a real prosperity" were sadly
wanting.
Last summer the people were told by
Senator Foraker and his fellow parti-
sans that it was the wicked agitation
in favor of free silver that was keep
ing back prosperity, and that if they
would only kill that agitation by elect
ing Major Mckinley president prosper
ity would cover the land like the dew
of summers morn. And now the free
silver agitation has ceased, for while
at least, and Major Mckinley is presi-
dent, and on top OF this the people are
told that there must be congressional
legislation permitting railroad pooling
before there can be any permanent
real prosperity" What an insult to
the theory of protection this all is. And
1t comes at a time when a new tariff
has already passed the house and is
before the senate. Senator Foraker's
declaration is nothing less than treason
to the tariff.
And if the legislation authorizing
railroad pooling is had and the real |
does not come then, what |
new explanation of the delay will be |
offered? 1t is idle to conjecture, but it I
is safe to say that one equally ingeni- |
Gus and equally erroneous as any that /
have been given will be furnished. But /
this is certain: There will be no cure
for the country's financial and bust 1
ness ills until the proper remedy is ap- |
oiled. And the present administration
is pledged not to try that.

An anti-high theater hat bill was
passed by the lower house of the Wis
consin legislature last week but it was
killed in the senate. The chairman of
the committee on state affairs, to which
committee it had been referred, sent it
back with this report:
We're expected to wrangle
And get in a tangle
When woman we VOW is so nice
That we will stand by her.
Though she builds her hat higher;
All we ask TO be low is the price.
High hats were not defending.
The shows we've been attending
Were those with ballet feats.
The hats were behind us,
For the only place you'd find US
Was down in the front row seats.
So this is our verdict:
We believe woman perfect
And she is in our hearts enthroned;
She needs no legislation,
And it's our recommendation
That the hat bill forever be postponed.

ST. Louis Republic: The point upon
which the q. A. X. censors are said to
be most solictious is the avoidance of
crediting the southern generals and po-
htical leaders with admirable personal
characteristics which may induce the
youth OF the land to look with leniency
upon revolutionists. Mr.. McMasters is
said to have satisfied his censors on that
point and for this reason we referred to
him as the late historian BY that
act he compels just and intelligent men
TO regard him no longer as a historian,
but merely as a political writer who dis
torts history to mould opinion to a par
ticular view.
