There is every reason to suspect tac existence of adefnite operative prin- ciple in that human quality which we call enthusiasm A short time since. when the price of eggs reached a cer. tain point. a protest meeting was hurriedly called and over 800 persons that only craved an outlet. At yes- terdays meeting there were less than score of persons. including the re- porters.
 What explanation is there for this slump in enthusiasm? True. there has been slump in the price of eggs, but eggs are not yet to be had with cigar store coupons. They still cost money, to the extent that were a nickel rendered for one, the purchaser would have no difficulty in counting hts change Furthermore, any change that has come over the egg market is due solely to the industry of the hen aLd not in the least to public opinion or the state of the public purse.
 In its fundamental conditions, the Cgg situation is the same as when men and women laid down their several duties to flock to q theater to protest THere was an abundance of enthus, iasm on that occasion; yesterday there was none to speak of. There may have been determination. but the entnus- iasm lacked that spontaneous aggres- sNeness which makes it effective.
 It may be that We have a sharply limited amount of enthusiasm store up in us; that we are in effect similar to the charged tanks the soda water merchants nsa If enthusiasm ia merely matter of cubical contents under so many pounds pressure to the square inch, as its outward manifes- tation would indicate leaders of anti egg and other worthy crusades may study the fact with profit.
 In the present instance the absence of enthusiasm may be the result of the sober reflection that a mass meet inr on any economic subject of which the hen is the controlling factor Is rather futile. But as a general prop osition. the more pronounced the dis play of enthusiasm, the sooner it fades holds good. Enthusiasm should be carefully conserved to last over the period of time needed Among our ether wasteful habits, that of wasting is one that needs reform. -P.-I
