In his speech in the House against the whis-
key extension bill Ex-Governor Long of Massa-
chusetts made the following telling point: II
hear it said that this interest has paid Il
thousand millions into the public treasury :;
that it has supported our armies; that it has
paid our debts; that it has maintained our gov
eminent; but sir, it has not paid one cent
Whiskey has never paid dollar. The people
1t Is, who, out of the earnings of their toll, have
paid millions for it, and its curses. If a thou
sand million dollars have gone into the public
treasury, Whiskey has been only the rotten
bridge over which it has passed. Contributed
to the public welfare! 1t is rather the dyna-
mite of civilization, and when you reckon, as
you do, the billions by which you measure its
production and cost, you are reckoning not any
addition to the public welfare, but you are
reckoning the extent of the public and national
ruin, waste and poverty. There you may look
for loss and panic and bankruptcy, and not to
that bagatele of few million dollars that is
about to be transferred from the books of the
government to the books of some private bank. I"

The Philadelphia Press says: The cry for
free ships is all wrong. Better far subsdize
our own ~hipyard,. TO buy ships abroad de
stroys patriotism; involves the necessity of
their repair abroad it would act the same As
removing the tariff, building up English skill
and English manufactures with American cap
ital it would necessitate the purchase of naval
vessels Of those who may become our enemies :;
it would forever prevent the concentration
lear our shipyards of cultivated and trained
minds in this important art, such as thej have

disgrace, and should never be thought of by
man loyal to his flag and his country"

In the matter of wages, the amount received
IN dollars and cents is but one consideration.
The real point j., How much will these dollars
ana cents purchase: 1t Il man here obtains
three dollars day and must spend two of if TO
gam what Is necessary to support life he may
be able to save one-third of his earnings. SIM
pose Il Frenchman who receives but one dollar
and a half day finds that he can live on an ey-
pendlture of one dollar day. He also is able
TO save one-thlrd of his wages. and i. thus rela-
lively no worse off than his American CONNER.
I ct the protectioniSt would parade the fact that
The American received three dollars per tay
ana the frenchinan one dollar and Il half only.
and without further explanation would assert
tnat as wages were one hundred per cent
higher than abroad the home workingman re-
qulred protection. Is this honest?
This is Il free trade argument from the New
York Herald. We are willing to accept the
case rs stated by the Herald Taking its own
figures the American workingman saves, after
paying his necessary expenses, one hundred
per cent more than the Frenchman. He spends
more. according to the Herald. but he GETS
much more for his money. He lives better.
dresses better and has greater advantages than
the French artisan. That wages are higher in
TINS country than in Europe is an established
TACT, and judging from recent admissions and
arguments it is the object OF the free traders to
effect reduction in the wages paid for Ameri-
can labor. But whether or not that is the end
I'D view it would be the inevitable result of the
adoption of free-trade policy.

Territory and Oregon. Joaquin Miller says:
This Chinook wind is Il hot cyclone that leaps
up from the Gulf of California, caroms from
mountain-top to mountain-top toward the
north, till it suddenly and savagely takes pos
session of the coolest and beakest spot on the
continent. 1t comes when the col reaches its
climax. This hot Chinook wind is born of the
freezing blizzard. 1t is the one thing that
makes this vast Northwest habtable. Stick a
pin here and remember. This Chinook wind
is the most remarkable and phenomenal thing
in nature.

At daylight Sunday morning an Associated
Press reporter walked through the quarter of
the city where the stormy scenes of the previous
night had been enacted. Only an hour before,
on Sycamore street, below Court, Law four or
five dead bodies of drunken or venturesome
men, who in spite of the polcemen's warning
had gone beyond the limit established by the
militia, when they fell under the fire of the SOL
diers. No one dared GO to take them away I'M
til the mob had disappeared and the streets
were clear. Only two hours before, at 3 A. NJ,
when small crowd gathered at the drug store
at Court and Walnut streets, one square west
of the Court House, to see the patrol wagon
take away dead man, the militia, installing
this for a renewal of the riot fired volley,
killing one man and wounding the nephew of
the proprietor of the store.

Occur D'Alene

A Livingstone gentleman writing to
friend from the Ceur d'Alene mines is
not afraid to tell the truth. He went
ahead Of a number of his friends who
awaited report from him before start
ing and here is his verdict!
Iarrived here on the 14th came by
Trout creek, which is forty miles, and
the nearest point on the Northern Paci-
fic railroad. Six of us came together
and pulled snow-shoe sledges over the
toughest id trail in Idaho. l have
been to some Of the best mines in the
district; the George Ives and Widow
claims are the only ones that are work
ed, and they only in a small way, and
nothing coming out to speak of. Ives is
sluicing with two boxes and one man.
The fact is just this; there is but little
known about the mines in this district,
and all the newspaper reports about big
strikes have no foundation whatever. l
have seen some gold here but in very
small quantities. This country when
developed may prove 10 De rlcn, put 30
far there is very little known about its
resources. There are men coming in
every day pulling sledges and packing
on their backs, hunting for fortunes that
seem q little further on. Money is
scarce and provisions are high meals
one dollar and not much to eat This is
the worst over rated camp that / have
ever seen. j made the trip to Evolu-
ton, TWENTY-FIVE miles, on snow shoes
and brought eighty pounds over here.
Town lots here are worth from $25 to
$l25 each and not many buyers. There
is bound 10 he big rush in here in tho
spring whether the mines prove good
or not, but there is no business here
now to speak Of
