Mr. Hanna the difficulties which lie in
the way Of carrying out a broad reel
pr0city policy through the Republican
party, and hence he promises little or
nothing. 1t is quite likely that the
Senate may ratify one or more Of the
treaties now pending, or propose modi-
fcatiOns. or do some little thing with
reference TO reciprocity which will en-
able the Republican leaders to claim
that they are moving along the lines Of
the late Presidents policy, but we may
be sure that reasons Will be found for
not going very far.
The obvious fact is that there is ex-

When we consider that the original
Investments Of all the constituent com
panies were comparatively small and
that the properties were built up out of
surplus profits. it does not require a
very profound tOsee that
they have been rolling up wealth upon
an enormous scale The Times does
not undertake to say how much profit
may be fairly made by any legitimate
industry. Upon that point no fixed rule
can be laid down But we do say that
any concern which can make ten or
eleven per cent annually upon a capital
of eleven hundred million dollars, Of
which capital probably one half is clear
water, does not stand in need of artit-
ciaI support in the shape Of tariff
which precludes the possibility Of hon

either be put TO death, OF compelled to

Contests of EGGS.

Fror& the remotest ages the egg has
been looked upon as the symbol Of Gre
alton, or new birth. According to the
Persians, the world was hatched from
an egg Mt that season Of the year which
corresponds to the vernal equinox.
Hence the Parsees still exchange gifts
or cOlored eggs at the new year festi-
val, which they celebrate at this date.
Among the Jews the egg entered into
all the mysterious ceremonies called
apocalyptc and occupied prominent
position on the household table during
the paschal season. Christianity in
vested the paschal egg with new sig
nihcance-namely, that of the resur-
rection Of Christ, and it was colored
red in allusion to his blood shed for
sinners on the cross.
A curious custom In medieval church
es, for priests and choristers to join in
game Of ball at Eastertide, took its
rise from the Easter egg, which was
thrown from one to the other of the
choristers In the nave Of the church
while an anthem was being sung AS
a missed egg meant a smashed egg, the
more durable handball was substituted.
But the smashing Of eggs continued
as form of outdoor sport ,Survlvals
are to be found among all Teutonic
and Anglo-Saxon people. A popular
game in England and Germany con-
sists in hitting one egg against anoth-
er, the egg that survives uncracked
winning for its owner the weaker an
tagonist, until an entire basket OF eggs
may have changed ownership. Anoth-
er game is to trundle eggs down hill
or slope, those which reach the bottom
uncracked being similarly victorious
over the others. .
