The Bartholdi statue will arrive in
this country shortly, but the pedestal
is not ready for it. Some twenty
three courses Of stono are yet to be
laid. Any New York millionaire
could have completed this pedestal
without feeling tho cost, but some,
how New Workers have contributed
next to nothing. The small contrib.
utions which have been sent il from
all over the country build the ped,
estal.-EX.
New York or other millionaires are
not the men to take an interest IN a
work of this kind, becuse they have
no sympathy with it. The statue
comes through contributions of the
great body of the French people, and
from their democratic sympathies
and the pedestal will be the work of
the masses of the American people,
responding in common sympathy
with that of our old time ally Of our
revolution, and present sister trans
Atlantic Republic. The time is at
hand for the completion of the ped
ostal, and every true American should
by proud to contribute. See article
on this subject on our first page.

luton relating to the restriction upon
the importation of American pro-
ducts by Germany, was referred to
subcommittee consisting of Re-

report on the subject. He held that
the action of this Government in

meant that white slavery should not
any longer be tolerated in this coun-
try. European countries had been
for years dumping their paupers and
criminals upon our shores, and the
time was coming when we would
have to pass stringent measures to
protect ourselves. After further

the bill were voted down. On the

DODGISM.


We were considerably entertained
the other evening at the Catholic
church fair, by Overhearing a con-
versatiOn between two charming so
cicty young ladies, in which the
merits of this succulent dish was de-
liberately discussed. Among the re-
marks on the subject, one Of the
maidens "sandwiched in" the state
mcnt that a gentleman friend told
her scientists had discovered that
hash was intoxicating, and to beware
Of its insiduous approaches; that in
the east, "hash reforming hospitals"
were becoming quite common. 1t
was n matter Of satisfaction to hear
the young lady declare her disbelief
Of the story and declare herself a
"hash-destrOyer," first, last, and all
the time. The idea seems prevalent
that our society girls do not have
very vigorous aPpetites, the Spokane
girls particularly, and are quite con-
tent with Il bill Of fare comprised Of
slate pencils and Florida water, with
pickles and poetry for dessert. Now,
this impression is entirely erroneous,
and right here we wish to record our
admiration for two charming society
ornaments, with appetites like a
''hlrcd MANS" one OF whom, In our
hearing, admitted being a "minCC-
pie fiend," and the other defiantly
asserted her preference for "hash."
We are good deal Of a "hashOlO-
gist" nursClf After showing our feet
under the mahogany Of Il hotel Or
dining car table, the genteel request,
"Please pass the hash" always seems
particularly hOme-like. While tar
Tying in the Puget sound logging
camp, the refrain, "sCull along those
hash" sounded familiar; then in the
crowded railroad crew, the charac-
teristic and lacOnic remark, "say,
Gully! fire along the hash," was most
melOdiOus, and even in the Chinese
construction gang, the oriental eX-
clam9tiOn, "e-yOt-nee-gee-hashee,"
awakened a chain Of fond reflection.
In fact, wherever we have juurneyed,
when we have heard IA "hash expert"
give the "grand hailing-sign of dis
trcss," we have been assured Of meet
ing friend and cUmnde. And now,
to a pilgrim and a stranger, s0lOurn-
ing temporarily within the gates Of
the city, it is satisfactory to know
SpOkane's fairest blossoms do not
partake Of the alleged distrust ex-
pressed by malicious and sarcastic
enemies Of this delectable edible,
and have the vitality to enjoy and
VigOrOusness to consume good, old
fashioned, unsectarian and nOn-polit-
ical, democratic, free-fOr-all hash.

On account OF the glaring errors in
the construction of the last city char
ter 1t has been impossible to enforce
the ordinances passed to regulate the
city, and the council was wasting
time drawing up anything Of the
kind. When test cases have been
made criminals have escaped, and
the officers seem powerless to per-
form their duties in the face Of such
discUuraging surroundings. How
ever, we believe that all this diff
Guilty has been Obviated in the new
charter that has Just been completed
and forwarded to Olympia to be act
I'd upon. The new charter has been
drawn up with great care and we
phOe to see 1t result in much good

A day or two since we copied an
article from the OregOHidR in refer
ence to a deserted town on the Co
lumbia river, and the following from
the Walla Walla Union explains the
same:
W II. T0les, Of this city, who has
several times mnde the voyage Of
the upper Columbia, from the Little
Dalles to the head Of navigation, in
British Columbia, informs the his
tOrmn Of the Union that the "descrt-
ed town" spoken Of, is an abandoned
mining hamlet on the upper COlum-
bia, about 32O miles above the Little
Dallrs, near French creek, about one
and Il half miles above Death rapids,
where, In 1855 or 1856, twelve men
and one woman met wutery grave.
The party, who were in Il hatcau, at
tempted to make landing and threw
a rope to a number Of miners ashore,
and, misjudging the distance, the
rnpc fell short, the boat turned side
ways and was upset. Previous to
this, when Capt. PinkstOn was run
ming the Old steamer "I9' placer
diggingS were discovered on French
creek and shortly after rush was
made for the new FL ,DOradO,and with
the influx Of miners came salOOn-
keepers, with their liquors and para
phernalia, billiard tables, gambling
outfits, etc, and merchants with mi
ners' supplies, and in an incredibly
short space Of time a thriving viii
lHge was nesting amid the towering
forest. A few months work. on the
part Of the miners soon convinced
them that bedrock was "tOO far
down" to be successfully worked
with the appliances at hand, and as
other mines offered alluring
chances the camp was abandoned
Just previous TO this the steamer
'4Q' was abandoned, hnpelessly lost
on a reef Of rock and the hardy piO1
neers were forced to make the trip
down the Columbia I'm dugeHts,
bateaux and RATS, necessarily COM
pelllng them to leave their fools and
other heavy objects. The deserted
village was visited by Odr inform
ant about l8 months ago( There are
about a dozen or so cabins, all of
which contained few or nj wore miners
tools, camp outfits, et"b and In a
building which had probably served
as a srlOOn stood AnL1ncint billiard
table, which could easily be passed
as airelic from the days Of POmpeii.
The prospect on French creek is fair
and will some day prove remunera-
tive to enterprIsing men who will
place the necessary machinery on
the ground. II, as stated by the
Watkins letter, the town was situa-
ted 500 miles from the Little Dalles,
IL would be close to Columbia city,
at the first crossing Of the Columbia,
on the Canaan Pacific, every foot Of
the country adjacent having been
thoroughly prOspected.
