MOSCOW. IDAHO.


Nez Perce county, Idaho, has for
years been agitated over the division
of the county. This agitation has re-
suited from the Inconvenience to
which the people OF the northern por'
ton of Nez Perce county were subject
ed in reaching Lewiston, the old coun-
ty seat. To this fact was also added
the rivalry 10 the old county seat on the
part Of Moscow, the young and thriv-
ing city of the great agricultural re-
zion in Idaho lying north OF Snake
river. 1t will be remembered that
some time ago congress- passed law
prohibiting certain classes OF special
legislation in the territories. The
dividing OF counties and the removal
Of county seats were among the class-
es OF legislation forbidden by the act.
Having, therefore, been denied hear
ing by the territorial Legislature, Mos
COW decided TO go directly to congress
for the relief sought. Upon sober
second thought, Lewiston concluded
to accept the situation, and she there
fore Joined Moscow in an appeal to
congress to divide the county. The
effort was successful, and yesterday
the president signed the bill.
The ambition OF Moscow to become
a county seat has at last been graft
fed. It has been a long. tedious, ex-
pensive, and at times bitter struggle.
II has given rise to some personal
arrangements that will probably
never be healed, these differences aris.
ing from the fact that men are rarely
educated up to that point that they
can believe it possible foran individu-
alto be honest and just and reasonable,
and not take the same view of u public
question that they take. These things
frequently occur in public life, and IL
is one of the unfortunate obstacles
which men who delve in public affairs
must meet and overcome. 1t becomes
necessary to pay no heed to backbit-
ing, Misrepresentation and falsehood,
but those who accomplish anything
must swallow their heart aches, forget
broken friendships, and plod along in
the path indicated by conscience,
judgment and duty. 1t is a notorious
fact that no contest Of the same pro-
portions leaves so many cureless
wounds as "county seat fight"
The REVIEW congratulates Moscow
upon the prospect now open to her.
She is the capital of as fine q country
as can be found iu the United States.
The town itself is nicely
located, and her people are
progressive, generous and determined
to make their place one of the most
attractive in the Northwest. The sun
OF heaven never shone upon better
farming land than that which sur
rounds and will build up this attrac-
tive little city. Moscow :has good
schools, two newspapers mine churches
and full complement of business
houses. The o. X. d N. company's
line Of railroad from Palouse junction
terminates there, and we have no
doubt that as soon as the Northern
Pacific realizes the vast resources Of
the Moscow country. the enormous
amount of grain to be shipped each
year from that point,and that it can be
reached only by going to Moscow, this
enterprising line will run u branch to
the new capital city and become q
factor in the trade of that great coun-
try. Again, the REVIEW congratulates
Moscow upon her success and wishes

stFatEening'' Oysters.

from the New York Mail and Express
A now system of treating oysters is now
practiced at Baltimore, by which their value
very much increased, said large dealer
to reporter. The oysters obtained from
Tangier Sound, Lynnhaven, and the kind
called seaside oysters are rather small, al
though inclosed in large shells. These oys-
ters, when dredged and brought to the Balti-
more market, are sold there at about sixty
cents a basket, but when freshened their
value is enhanced at least one hundred and
fifty per cent. The manner of proceeding is
tice of Floating" oysters, SO much In vogue
in the East. The oysters are transferred
from the pun0ies on to the decks Of covered
scows that will each carry q deck load of
about six hundred bushels of oysters. The
scows are then lowered to point in the Pa
tapsco river, where the water is quite shall
low, and then sunk by letting water through
valve in the hold. The scows are left in
this position during two flood tides, when
the water is pumped out and they are then
towed to the city again. The change from
the salt to the fresh water swells the oysters
uutil what were originally comparatively in
significant oysters, worth but sixty cents a
bushel, become plump and luscious, fill en-
tirely their immense shells and command
when put on the market for sale one dollar
and fifty cents to one dollar and seventy-fve
cents per bushel. Two of the largest pack
ing houses in Baltimore are engaged in this
business, keeping twelve scows constantly
employed. The whole operation is under
the supervision of one man, who undertakes
the freshening for a consideration of ten
cents bushel, the packing houses of course
furnishing all the appliances

WHY mEN WHISTLE.
1t Is to Relieve the Restraint When
They Are EIene.

1t Is to Relieve the Restraint When
They Are EIene.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.J
Whistling was invented to give man
chance to add noise in creation The
other noises in nature are all attuned to the
character Of the article that produces them.
The breeze makes its gentle sigh, the brook
has its peculiar sound, the storm has its
crash and its roar. Everything made a noise
in the world except man when he was alone.
A man can't talk to himself; it is idiotic, al
though it is astonishing how many people do
it. A cough is not very enjoyable sound
and it irritates the lungs to produce it. A
sneeze always goes with cold in the head
True, a man can sing; that is, he can try to
sing, but if it is at all agreeable It seems
somehow to be wasted If somebody has not
paid an admission fee to hear it. That's why
women have such terrible reputation for
talking. They can'twhistle, and they have
nothing to relieve the restaint wheB they
alone; SO when they get hold of anyb@ay they
make up for it. But whistling was invented
to conceal music. You don't need to have
music in your soul to whistle. It is simply
the noise of vacant mind. The loud laugh
of Oliver Goldsmith that bespsaks vacant
mind applies to crowd. The whistle shows
the vacant mind in its solitary state. When
you hear a man whistle who palpably does
now know tune, he is either very good
fellow mr. very bad fellow.

THE sToRY OF An ITALIAN.

What the Congressional Committee on Inn
migration Evils is finding out Is worth know
ing. 1t ought to have been found out before.
BILE foreigners needs attention, and attention
of kind that will result in stopping it.
Nicolo d'Alae, an italian who testified be-
fore the committee, told a story which made
an impression on the committee, and which
will make one wherever it Is read. D'Alae
said he was So years old. He was a farm
laborer, and in Italy received from ten to
fifteen cents and from three to four meals q
day. He owned tiny vineyard at Palmuli,
wkich he said was worth something like five
hundred francs. A man named Nicolini
Saracini keeps general store In Palmuli; he
induced the witness and thirteen of his fell
low villagers 90 come to the United States,
representing to them that they could get
work Immediately upon landing. Saracini
paid the fare from Palmun to Naples and
from Naples to the United States, amounting
in all to 116 francs, and he required each of
them to enter into written agreement to
repay him $50 francs by the end of August
of the current year. The witness said that
his wife had signed this agreement also, so
that the little vineyard in Italy will probably
have to be sacrificed to satisfy the usurious
claim. Saracini had given the witness and
the others letter addressed to one Bsrardi-
nj, at Mulberry street, New York; upon
presentation of the letter Berardini would
give them work at $l.50 day. By the adj
vice of Saracini the witness had brought no
money Whatever with him. When the wit
ness reported to Berardini he was lodged and
fed for four days, Berardini telling him to be
patient and he would find him work. The
witness has not worked a day since he got
here. Berardini, while he has kept him
waiting, has found work for plenty of other
italian laborers, who had the $3 or 81 with
which to pay the "bosssge" fee exacted by
Berardini. OF the thirteen men who had
come over with the witness by the steamship
Sheribon three had been employed by a man
In Philadelphia named VinOenzo Tella; each
had agreed to pay Tella So out of their first
wages for the "bossage" and the cost of their
transportation to Philadelphis.
D'AIoe has had enough experience in the
land of the free and the home of the brave,
and would be glad to 60 back to sunny Italy,
where he has not been = slave. His story Is
sad and significant one.

purpose may be issued by said court or any
justice thereof.
The prosecution began almost as soon as
the act went into effect, and has been such
as to greatly alarm the ''saleon element u
The required number of voters were found
in nearly all the large towns and. cities and
in many of the smaller ones; the hotel keep
ers and druggists were included and in some
places the law was carried to such an extreme
that caused considerable inconvenience, es-
peoially as the druggists retaliated and liquor
for necessities was unavailable. When the
dealers are found to be stealing back to their
old stands they are attacked again.
The American Register, published in Paris,
has this to say of the Mills bill: The great
fault of the Mills tariff bill, in the eyes of
the protectionists, is not SO much the reduc-
ton proposed as the basis on which it is
founded In this bill the interests of Amer
ican manufacturers and of the army of Amer
lean wage earners occupy subordinate place
and are completely overshodowed, ostensibly
by the desire to afford consumers cheaper
merchandise, but in reality, by an in-con-
csaled resolution to open the. doors to
change of system usually called that of Brit
ish free trade. The term in itself is erroni-
Gus, because there is no such thing as free
trade from practical point of view. There
is the regime of free imports, which finds
favor in Great Britain, and to certain ex-
tent in Holland and Belgium, but which ex-
lists nowhere else; and there is the regime of
protection to native industry, which is our
own system and also that of the leading
European continental States. 1t is well to
bear these two facts in mind; for what we
are really asked to do by the trainers of the
A{ills tariff bill is to undermine a CONNER
cial system which, apart from the benefits
conferred on American citizens, has been all
but universally adopted by the great Euro
pean States.
