Because Of the mild weather
The birds take heart and sing;
Blackblrd and thrush together.
Linnets are on the wing:
And gathering wool and feather.
The birds say 1T Is spring"
In every bush and cover
Are silver flutes and gold.
The robins singing Is over
That cheers us In the cold:
when every bird IL lover
Red robins tale Is told.
o birds! too quick believers.
Winter may come to stay.
With white and silent rivers
And grass blades stiff and gray,
And world that cries and shivers
Instead Of a wedding day.
"Peace.' say the birds. ''go marry.
And love shall teach you mirth.
We may no longer tarry
Beside h'cless hearth.
With a house to build and quarry,
For tho sweetest head on earth"

nent peril The public did not know
how close We were to a suspension Of
gold payments, and to advertise a loan
would have precipitated the impending
panic. Under the existing laws the
treasury runs a banking business, and
il had to do as a bank would do when
threatened with a run-negotiate
promptly and quietly with other banks
to secure itself. This is just what Sec
retary Carlisle did. and so successfully
that the danger was averted. and when
he again needed TO strengthen his gold
reserve he was able TO do so by public
advertisement on advantageous terms.
But for this we should be on the silver
basis now. and this is all that the COM

Aside from the patent unconstitu-
tionality Of the law. any attempt to
draw the line OF distinction between
the rights of naturalized and unnatur-
allied fishermen will not be tolerated
by public sentiment. The few aliens
among the fishing population have. in
most cases. been here for years; and
no question has ever been raised as TO
their privilege to take fish in the Colum-
bia river With scarcely an exception.
these men compare most favorably in
general respectability, sobriety and in
dustry with other foreigners who have
taken out their first" papers. Many
of them have large families dependent
upon them. They have always had
good credit, and now owe large bills 10
merchants and cannerymen. They have
been allowed TO spend money for gear
and other fishing appliances, and 9TH
ervise prepare themselves in antici-
patton Of the fishing season. without
any sort of warning or notice that
their right to fish would in any manner
be questioned. The strike arbitrarily
brought on and stubbornly maintained
so long by the fishermen's union has
left the business interests of Astoria
weIl-nigh prostrated. There is great
public necessity that all the natural re-
Operative powers Of this entire section
of the state should be put into opera
tion, and continued with the highest
possible degree Of effectiveness for the
remainder of the fishing season. Com
missioner Mcclure has publicly stated
that, under existing circumstances, he
does not believe 1t is his duty TO insist
upon a compliance with the law against
Sunday fishing, and, under Judge
Bellinger's decision. it is not believed
the state authorities will attempt to
enforce the early closing season. Every
man who can fish should not only be
allowed TO do SO, but whether natural
ized or unnaturalized, a union or non
union man he should be protected and
encouraged in every effort that can be

"MR. WINDOWS LAST WORDS"

The New York Herald pertinently re-
calls the last speech made by Secretary
Window in New York, January s. 1852,
to which his sudden death, Immediately
after, gave the emphasis Of a solemn
warning, by keeping the following par
agraphs, in which Mr.. Window refers
to the evils of silver coinage, standing
in its editorial columns:
Probably before the swiftest ocean
greyhound could land it's silver cargo
at New York, the last gold dollar with
in reach would be safely hidden away
in private boxes and in the vaults of
safe deposit companies, to be brought
out only by high premium for expor-
