STATESMEN DicKER!NC.
Compromise Made Between President
and Party Leaders for
Gain.

The startling statement has bees
given out AZ Washington that a com
promise has been effected between
President Roosevelt and Speaker Can
non on railroad rate legislation and
.ariff revision. II seems that "Presi-
dent Roosevelt has agreed not To pre-
.ipitate the tariff question In any form
congress until near the close OF the
session. when he will send in special
message suggesting the ACCESSIBILITY OF
inaugurating at an early date what the
chief magistrate Is pleased 10 call re-
Adjustment OF the tariff" Speaker
Cannon on his part is TO see 10 IL that
whatever measure on the subject OF
railroad rates may be presented 10 the
house with the administrations APP
prevail shall be put through that body
with as nearly unanimous vote OF
the republican side of the chamber as
practicable"
This dickering Of these two distin-
guisaed republican statesmen TO try
and stem the tide that has set in
against their party. could only be at
tempted by republicans. To coerce the
representatives of the people by the use
Of tie power OF patronage and favors
that are vested in the president and
speaker is an extraordinary spectacle.
The republican tariff reformers may
well cry out that the compromise
leaves them up in the air. for II is evil
dent that the proposed tariff message
will be sent TO congress too late for
lction at this session and as no tariff
eeislation can be attempted at the
\ short session next year, the whole
question OF tariff. trusts and high cost
Of living is postponed until new con-
gresa is elected which will not con-
yene Until December. 1907.
II is fair 10 assume that the presi-
dent IS but lukewarm in reforming the
tariff and his promised message next
summer is TO be a political stump
speech to attempt to hold his party in
line at the election in November when
4 new congress will be voted for. The
trusts and combines and all the special
Interests that are plundering the peo-
pie through the protection granted in
the tariff law, are thus granted another
lease OF power with the opportunity OF
concentrating all their wealth and
power TO elect stand-patters 10 con-
gress in enough districts 10 give them
control OF the Sixtieth congress.
The expected subserviency OF the re-
publican members OF congress to these
leaders for any plan that may be con-
cocted to prevent a free and fair dis
cussion of great public question like
the tariff issue and a vote so that the
people may know what their represen-
.atives really stand for may fail Of the
unanimity expected. AS II is now rep
resentative government is only in
name. for congress and the country Is
really controlled by two men, who
though entirely opposed to each other

poses long before the foundation of
Christianity, and also that it was an
light, from whose name our term Eas-
ter is supposed to be derived.
How the rabbit became the custo-
dian of the nest of gayly colored Eas-
ter eggs is no mystery to the German
toymaker. Each district has its own
popular variant. Baden's legend is as
follows:
In the mountains overlooking Fret
burg early In tile twelfth century there
was an abbey of Benedictines who
dominated the spiritual affairs of the
entire countryside. At the abbey
church the Easter festival was always
celebrated with marked splendor, and
il was visited on those occasions by
the devout from all Germany. One Of
the chief attractions of h great feast
was il series of religious tableauX rep
resenting the leading events in the
Scriptural account of the resurrection,
and preliminary to this was given Il
sort of object lesson In the meaning of
the mysterious process. In the course
of this latter feature Il huge nest of
beautifully colored eggs-which are
symbolic of the resurrection-was the
deus eX machina.
On the afternoon of Holy Saturday
Father Boniface, the young monk who
had charge of this important duty,
craved an audience with the abbot of
the foundation.
ALAS. my lord" said the young
monk dejectedly, 1.-THE foxes have eaten
every chicken belonging to the abbey.
They have, in fact, eaten every chicken
in the country, and there isn't an egg
to be had for love or money"
'Then why haven't you seen to it
that we were rid of the pests?' the
abbot asked severely.
because your lordship has ordained
that ne living thing which is mention
ed with respect in the sacred Scrip
lures shall be hurt, and the fox is men
toned therein and almost always re-
spectfully," Father Boniface reminded
him.

old days. my brother, you would have
gone directly TO heaven with your
plant and not to your abbot"
The young monk betook himself
to the chapel and passed the night
in vigil. At early dawn. he arose from
his aching knees and sought the nest
which he had left empty. AS he ap-
preached Il SNOW white rabbit leaped
from the nest. and the delighted monk
saw that once again in the history of
