EGGS AND MEAT.

We have always been strong adj
vocate of the Republican policy Of
protection. At the same time we will
admit that the other fellows occa-
sionally have an argument that looks
good Not long ago farmer was
in the Office feeling blue because he
figured that the shipment Of " million
eggs into this country the past six
months would ruin the chicken indus
try Of this valley Since then we have
been doing little figuring and this
is what we found: Suppose there have
been million dozen eggs shipped in
to this country in six months. That
would be ~ million eggs or 2 million
eggs per month Following the divi-
sion just a little further and you find
that is about two eggs per month
for each 100 persons. Now what do
you think Of country where any
business can be ruined by shipping in
two eggs each month for every 100
of the population?
But the reduction of the tariff on
meat is different story Has il been
of any benefit TO anyone? II has
not, The packer now imports beef
free from Argentine, Australia and
New Zealand at cost below the cost
of domestic beef. Has this caused
the price of beef to be reduced to
the consumer? II has not. The pack
er does not compete with himself. Who
receives the benefit of the reduced
tariff The packer Where do the
people come IN? They have the priv
ilege of paying the additional taxes !
caused by this loss of revenue. What
is the effect on the farmer? He must
sell in competition with the cheapest
beef which can be found anywhere,
in the world. Increasing the source
of supply has no tendency to increase
the price to the farmer who sells in
a competitive market The packer
sells in non-competitive market
he controls, and if he did not con-
troll il the retailer would absorb the
difference in price.

Spring is supposed, popularity and
POLITICALLY, to be the season when a
young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts Of love, to say nothing OF
clothes. But it wouldn't be fair to
leave baseball out of the summary.
For it's a long thought that has no
turning toward the national pastime,
once the ground is well thawed and
the sun is beginning TO blaze, and
the call has gone forth for the spring
training.
The showing McDowall's Cubs made
in their first game has reused the
enthusiasm that has lain dormant all
winter. Hayes Park has been cleaned
up, designs Of new uniforms are be-
ing studied, and hunt is being made

the small boy-the handspring Of it
all, seeing he is father to the future
greats and the bugs that will cheer
their deeds-the small boy is fishing
out with lively beating heart the
battered old glove from the bottom
bureau drawer and wondering at the
way it has shrunk since last Sep
TENDER, and bewailing the elements
that caused his well-loved bat to
crack in inglorious sloth through the
winter.
And the business man, and the
worker in factories and shops--all
greet the warming sun with certain
twinge somewhere inside Of them, and
n certain longing to be out in the
open with others of their kind, and

Eliot, president emeritus Of Harvard
university, is worth reproducing If
only because it presents lin fewer
words than anyone else could put
them the state of mind of many
Americans today.
A new religious sentiment seems
to me to be gradually spreading
throughout the world, especially
among young people in the United
States.
1t is a sentiment which takes small
account of ceremonies, rites, sacra-
ments, creeds and dogmas, but in
spires an enthusiasm for the service
Of family, neighbor and society at
large.
Guided by the modern scientific
spirit, this sentiment is developing
new kind Of Christianity, based on the
ethics taught by Jesus, and particu-
larly on the command, Thou shalt
love thy peiPhbor as myself" and the
parable of the good Samaritan.

II Then the firing began. The Britisl
, guns moved down Hindus in tn
! street, but there were plenty more t.
} take their places. And inside Their
were only nine Englishmen. Ladder
were reared against the walls tim,
and again; time and again they were
thrown down.
Willoughby and his comganior
fought on, their faces black with
smoke, through the hot afternoon
loading and reloading their smoking
guns-tugh work, that, for it was be-
fore the days of breech loading pieces
Had there been 30 Englishmen there
instead of nine it is possible they
might have held out, but as it was,
there were not even men enough to
fetch ammunition when that near at
hand was exhausted
Outside in the street the mob was
growing. The attempts to rush the
walls came faster and faster, for the
natives were working themselves up
into fanatic fury at the stout and I'M
expected resistance of the arsenal's
defenders. They needed that arsenal
1t meant guns and ammunition for
everyone who chose to fight.
Two of the Britons had fallen at
their guns. The ammunition near at
hand was gone. No attempt was to
be made by the little Delhi garrison
to rescue, apparently. And finally
Willoughby gave the order to fire the
magazine. No one of the nine had
any idea but that it meant certain
death for all. Strangely enough four
of the nine escaped.
There was splitting crash, heav-
ing out and down of heavy walls,
street that echoed with the yells of
wounded men, and in the welter of
smoke and dust, the struggling babel,
and three comrades, run
ming fast, got to the Kashmir Gate
and out of Delhi. The others cully,
who fired the train, the wounded two
who fell besides their guns, and two
men more, one lieutenant, were bur-
led under the shattered walls of the
great mazagine. Hundreds of rebel
natives persisted, too. The revolt had
met with it's first setback, and the
Sepoys realized something of the
last ditch" spirit with which English
men could die.
They still show tourists in Delhi the
scars of the Sepoy outburst, the place
where the magazine stood George

! Delhi, the capital of Northern
India, the mutinous remnants
of two native regiments. These men
had slain their British officers in Nee
rut, SO miles away, fired houses, muir
dered women and children; then rid
4 ing hard they had come into Delhi,
swarmed into the palace of Bahadur
Shah, deposed mogul, who was living
in what make-believe state England
saw fit to tolerate, and proclaimed
him emperor of India.
Native troops in Delhi, long smold-
ering in discomfort and wrath, had
joined the Meerut raiders; in the Eu-
ropean quarter houses were smoking,
blood was split. This was the word
which came to Lieutenant George Will
loughby, the young English officer
who was in command of the ammuni-
ton magazine of her British majesty
in Delhi.
The great s,epoy rebellion, which
had been preparing for months, had
broken out when least expected, late
of a Sunday afternoon in Meerut;
and the British, paralyzed with sur
prise, had so far made small effort
to resist. 1t was at Delhi that they
first showed their metal.
Eight other Britons were with Will
loughby in the magazine, and there
were also dozen or more Lascar
workmen, upon whom small depend
ence could be placed. AS soon as
word came to Willoughby that the
mutineers were in possession of the /
palace he set to work to fortify the |
arsenal. The gates were closed and
barricaded. and light guns, charged
with double grapeshot, were set up
where they could sweep the street
down which the mob must come. The
native workmen were already showing
signs of uneasiness. With the great
est reluctance they accepted weapons
and they bungled orders and pretend
ed to understand
Then Willoughby called Scully, one
Of his subordinates, and ordered him
10 lay a train to the powder maya
zine. Rather than let the arsenal fall
INTO the hands of the furious Sepoys,
proposed to blow it and
himself to pieces.
Hardly had the preparations been
completed when the brown troops
swept down the street. A leader de-
handed the surrender of the place
n the name of the King of Delhi. No
answer was returned. Then scaling [
adders were set up against the build {
ng, and like bunch of rats escap- |
ng from a ship, the Lascar workmen {

No announcement has yet been
made that the supreme courts con-

Thaw, which has reached it on appeal
from the New Hampshire district
court, will take precedence over other
bushes already on the docket and
If it does not, it is expected that a
decision won't be handed down for
two years. In fact, the application
by Thaw's attorneys a few days age
for bail for their client is evidence
that decision is not expected at any
time soon.
When Thaw escaped from Mattea-

before he was returned there a pris-
