One Easter event for which lavish
decorations are used, and yet one
that is seldom mentioned in connec-

the Easter christening. This is usual

In every age the world has known
Some bard felt moved to sing
Earth'S pean over winter gone
Her welcome to the spring.
The mysteries of the Easter-thought
TO all mankind belong.
No time the perfect light hath brought,
No race the final song.
Yet art thou blessed Palestine,
Among the lands OF earth!
For thee holy light did shine,
4 glorious song find birth.
He IS the worlds that martyr-soul
Divine as heroes are!
A beacon, when deaths waves shall roll,
The Galilean'S star!
We deem not that the flesh o'ercame
The graves obScurity;
We trust the souls immortal flame
Hath touched on deity.
We will not hail the Christ alone.
The solitary way;
God doth thousand prophets own
This happy Easter day.
We feel their aIl-pervading power
Around US and above,
We learn from springtime bird and flower
The truths of life and love.
One with the Christ who conquereth.
One in the hope they bring.
One in their victory over death,
The first wild flowers of spring.
One with the sermon on the mount
The birds sweet melody.
Clear-howing from the eternal fount
OF Gods own charity.
Then. sing we, for all nature sings!
Sing Christ, and bird. and flower!

The yacht is somewhere about the

the people are paying the cost. So
remarkable has been the display Of lux

dr. Roosevelt, in one Of his many
books, said that there was no doubt
about the fact that the high tariff
against which South Carolina so vigOr-
Ously protested was q discrimination
against the purely agricultural CON-
munities."
So certain is it that a protective tar
liz cannot help the producer OF staple
agricultural products, that not long
ago Mr.. Lubin. a Republican. came to
Congress demanding that Congress
should protect the farmer as wen as
the manufactures.
- When he was told that there existed
duties upon Indian corn, wheat, etc,
his reply substantially was that every
man knew it worked no protection, so
called. to the American farmer. He
said that the Government could help
the manufacturers OF certain products
by levying import duties. making, OF
course. the rest Of the community pay
the price OF the help; but the only way
in which they could help the farmers
was by giving an export bounty. and
he demanded that bounty very serious

COST OF TRANSPORTATION.
MouoDOIIes and Trusts Receive Re
bates While Other Shippers suffer.


AS a strong argument against the
trusts, which are fOstered under the
Ubiquitous Dingley Tariff bill, a paper
read by Mr.. A. B. Hepburn, President
Of the Chase National Bank OF New
York, before the American Bankers
Association, at the Waldorf. in New
York recently, may well be considered
sir. Hepburn has some positive ideas,
and among them was this:
Recurring to the initial thought Of
this paper-the desirability Of stable
business conditions and uniform cost
Of transportation, and reasonable uni
form rates for money. we. as bankers,
entirely apart from legislative or CO.
erciye measures, can exercise great in
fuence in bringing about such cOndi-
tons"
Uniform cost of transportation means
that one shipper must have the same
rate as another. Twenty years ago
the men who control the Standard Oil
Company and nearly everything else
in the country, saw the advantage OF
a rebate. They gave the other fellow
an even chance in production. but they
cut his throat in getting u cheaper
freight rate than he could. and the
competitor went out Of business.
There is a coal trust that controls
every pound Of coal consumed in New
York and New England. Mr.. Baer is
at the head Of this. Several years ago
the coal market OF New York was
open. The coal trust was formed. The
members got an advantage in freight
rates from the railroads. 1t was small,
but it was enough. 1t put the cOmpeti-
tors out Of business. This rebate killed
competition. made a coal monopoly
and coal bills appreciated about fifty
per cent
This is but an example which could
be stretched out ad infinitum. Every
criminal trust that lives gets its life
from a special privilege, and the ma
jOrity Of those special privileges are
given by virtue OF the Dingley Tariff
Act.

MAKE A CHASTITY FIND.
Remains Of a Child Discovered ii
Brush Heap Near Burlington.

Special to Times-Repubtcan.
Burlington. Jan. 22.-Herbert. Fritz
and John Thorn were hunting rabbits
to the north OF the golf grounds yes
terday afternoon. Under a brush heap
they found small pine box. containing
the remains of child. They told Mr..
Henry Lemberger OF the find, and ne
promptly notified Coroner Prugh. That
officer took possession OF the remains
and notified Chief Hornung, who went
to work on the case.
It Is the body of a fine, healthy girl
baby. weighing about ten pounds. and
we'll developed. There We're no marks
on the body to indicate that death re-
suited from violence. The coroner sug-
gested that it might have been due 20
exposure. Nor is there anything that
could aid in the Identification, except
small quilt in which the body was
wrapped.
Mr.. Prugh would hazard no opinion
as to the .ength Of time that the re-
mains may have been hidden beneath
the pile Of brush. They may have lain
there since winter set in. There were
but few signs OF decomposition. An
autopsy may be held to determine
whether or not death was due to nat
ural causes. The inquest will probably
be held Saturday. and in the meantime
the mystery surrounding the case may
be cleared up.

WORST sLEET EVER
oseeoIa'. Experience With The storm,
a Costly One - Wires Down and
Shade Trees Demolished - Streets
strswn With the Debris.

Special to Times-Republicak
osceola, Jan. 22.-Our city is now
suffering from one OF the most destruc-
tive slee;s ever experienced in all her
history. We had heavy rainfall, be-
ginning on the evening OF Tuesday,
Jan. 10th. continuing until about mid
night, when it turned into sleet. The
trees electric lights and telephone
wires became loaded with q tremend-
GUS weight Of ice. A brisk wind arose
toward morning. and has continued
ever since. with the result that con-
stantly, on every hand, is heard the
booming and cracking of breaking and
falling limbs Of trees. carrying with
them the electric light and telephone
wires. AS yet the sun is shid. and
there is no thawing, and the eiestruc-
tion Is going on with no prospect of
ceasing. There are probably thirty
cords Of wood now represented in the
debris from the trees in the town.
Many trees are broken of near the
ground. A great many OF the poles OF
the light company are broken off.
There is LAdly telephone wire in
operation. and the light Of the public
square is entirely cut of.
We have good skating all over town,
obstructed only by the falling timber.
Over large part OF town pedestrians
take the street because of the peril
from falling timber in following the
sidewalks, many narrow escapes hav-
ing been made by careless or venture
some persons. The damage to the elec-
trio light company will approximate
$1,000. and that to the telephone COM
pany perhaps nearly. or quite as much.
1t is estimated that the damage to the
fruit trees in town and vicinity. will be
very heavy, though these trees do not
seem to break nearly so readily as
do the various shade and ornamental
trees.
