Little Risss Organized BY Merchants FER
the PIaekfnG OF Interior Traders

There are two or three litte
mercantile rings in Portland, the
members thereof being engaged IN
different lines OF Business, no one Of
the combination conflicting with the
others interests. The more solid and
respectable firms do net, as general
thing, belong TO these rings, and
neither 60 they endorse their acts,
but, on the other hand. openly
denounce them. This is the way the
rings work; business man from one
OF the interior towns comes TO the
metropolis to lay in stick or goods.
He is pounced upon Instantly by =
member OF the combination, or one OF
his employees, who never loses sight
of the stranger until he Is "steeredn
10 his store and makes a purchase VI
the class of goods they have for sale.
His purchase completed he is zext
run across TO the next member ofthe
ring who deals in different kind OF
merchandise. This thing is kept up
uRtil the combination find they can
make ne more out of the customer,
when he is turned loose. No other
merchant has the shadow of chance
o, even speak to the gentleman SO long
as he is in the clutches of the plucking
machine. Before the business is
negotiated the customer lie generously
treated. He is supplied with free wine
and cigars, the best of provender and
such other entertainment as he may
banker for. But business ence
concluded he is cast aside, fer the
present, as useless ipcumbrance and
the quest goes on for the next victim.
Numerous traders are beginning to
strenuously object to being 50
disinterestedly cared for snd prefer to
make their purchases unsolicited and
of their own volition, with plenty of
time to see what they are getting and
where it can be procured for ne least
money. The ring business Is ne less
than thogging game" which ought
to be and must be discontinued.

THE. North american Reviep for
May contains a striking article BY the
Hon. David Dudley Field on
naturalization In the Federal
Government" That our polity Is
rapidly advancing In the direction of
Capitalization Is demonstrated by the
author; but whether Capitalization Is
really q formidable evil or only
bugbear Is question which men will
probably continue to decide according
to their several political predictions.
Whatever the readers bias, Mr..
Fields paper will command his
respectful attention, and it will bo
read with interest and profit. The
second article Is upon the new revision
of the Bible, by the Rev. DR.. Schaff,
OF the American Committee of
Revision. Mr.. Justice Strong writes
of s'The Needs of the Supreme
Court, "and advocate the establishment
OF a court OF appeals, intermediate
between the us. Supreme Court and
the circuit courts. The Hon. George
@. Cannon, the first advisor of the
President Of the Mormon Church,
and delegate to Congress, makes a
vigorous defence of utah and its
People" !" The question, /" Shall
Americans build Ships?" is considered
by Mr.. John Roach, the ship-builder,
who brings forward large number OF
facts to prove that the people of the
United States must build ships if they
would hold place2 among maritime
nations. The other articles are ssThc
Life-Saving Service" by the Hon.
s. S. Cox; "The Ruins of Central
America" by M. Charnay; and finally
an attack on evolution philosophy,
written in vein of the finest irony,
and entitled, ssWhat Morality Have
We Left?'

"1'vo been foelP' growled Harper
yesterday as he united parcel In his
front yard and shock out new ham
mock. "iere I've been looping around
ali through this internal hot spell when
! might just rs we'll have been swing
ing in n hammock and have my blister
ed back cooled Off by the breezes."
Anyone can put up hammock.
All you've got 10 do is TO unite about
500 knots, upr,vel about 500 snarls,
and work over the thing until you can
tell whether the open side was meant to
so up or down. This puzzled Harper
for fully twenty minutes, but he finally
got IL right and fastened the ends to
two convenient trees.
Then he took off bic hat and coat and
rolled in with great sigh Of relief.
No no didn't quite roll Ia. He was
all ready to when the hammock walked
away from him, and he rolled over on
the grass and came TO stop with q
croquet ball under the small Of his back.
"Did you mean 20 do tbatp called q
boy who was looking over the fence
and slowly chewing away on green sp.
pies
"Did II or course did Git down
offn that fence or III call policeman
The boy slid down and Harper
brought up a lawn chair for The next
move. It's the easiest thing in the
world to drop off chair into ham
neck. Lots Of men would be willing
to do il OF salary Of $40 per week.
The trouble with Harper was that he
didn't drop all his body at once. The
The upper half cot into the hammock
all right, bet the lower half kicked and
thrashed around on the grass until the
small boy, who didn't mean to leave the
neighborhood until the show was out,
felt called upon 70 explain:
"You can't turn Handspring with
your head all wound up in that ore net,
and TIL bet you money on itP'
Harper suddenly rested from bis Ia
bers to rise up aud shake his list at the
young villain, but that didn't help the
case a bit. lie hadn't got into that
hammock yet He carefully looked the
case over, and decided that he had his
plans too high. He therefore lowered
the net TO within two feet Of the greund,
and be had it dead sure. He fell into
il az plump az bag Of shot going
down u well. He felt around to see If
he was all in, and then gave himself
swing. No person can be happy in
hammock unless the hammock has
pendulum matios This hammock of
H4rpsr's WAS just getting The regular
saltwater swing when bis knots united
aud he camo down Oh the broad Of bis
hack with such jar that the small boy
f,.t called upon to observe:

sci.usp,.ss he crawied slowly out, gent
IS rut,oei his back on an apple tree,
ani slowly disappeared around the cor
ter ol the house in search Of some
weapon which would annhilnte the ham,
mock ut one sweep, and though the
boy called 70 him again and again, ask
ing if minstrel performance was TO
follow the regular show, Mr. Harper
never turned his head nor made sign.
