BlLLINGsGATE.
Markets Seem the Natural Abode Of
StronQ LANGUAGE.


The unpublished phraseology, ma
tive though not peculiar to this
quarter of London, has given rise
to the proverbial use of the name
Billingsgate. cone may term this
the Esculine gate of London" says
old Fuller. "Here one may hear
linguas jurgatrices' The seven
teenth century references to the
"rhetoric" or obscene language Of
the market are frequent, and hence
foul language itself is called ''bil-
lingsgate." In "Vanity Fair" too,
Thackeray tells up how Mr.. Osborne
cursed Billingsgate with an empha-
sis worthy of the place.
1t is curious how markets are the
natural abode of strong language.
Thus the French equivalent for
"You are no better than a Billings
gate fish fag" is "Your compliments
are like those of the Place Maui
bert" the Place Maubert being not
ed for its market.
In the good old DAYS the Billings
gate porters seem to have thorough
" enioyed themselves, for one Bang
ford, writing in 1715, says: "This
being to my mind another ancient
custom that hath been omitted of
late wears. 1t seems that in former
times the porters that piled at Bill
lingsgate used civilly to entreat and
desire every man that passed that
way. to salute post that stood there
in vacant place If he refused to
do this. they forthwith laid hold of
him and BY main force bumped him
against the post. But if he quietly
submitted to kiss the same and paid
down sixpence they gave him a
name and chose some one of the
gang for his godfather. I believe
this was done in memory of some
old image that formerly stood there,
perhaps Belus or Belin."
The original porters of Billings
gate belonged to one of the oldest
labor guilds in the country, the Eel
lowship of Porters, and at one time
the CARRYING work both at Billings
gate and from the wharfs to the
warehouses of the city within GER
tain radius was entirely performed
by them.-London Globe.

LATEST BASEBALL RULES.

The first thing for ball player to
acquire is a nickname. a ball play
er never becomes famous as William
or Henry. Get to be ''Muggsy' or
"Tripe," and your success is assured
Remember umpires are your only
friends and are meant to be abused.
The uniphs must be made to take the
blame every time you are called cut,
and every good base runner make
the umpire shoulder eh blame for
raw work on the bags.
Your job Is never cinched. The
ony way to bet in with the manager
is to catch him numbering some one
some dark night. Then when he at
tempts to send you to the bush,
threaten to tell on him.
To he a success you must stand In
with the home fans. To do this you
must make a home run every time
you come to the bat.
Never knock the ball so the fielder
can catch it. This rule must not be
broken.
II ball comes toward you do not
faint, but catch it. Another un-
hreakable rule.

A SLAP A TTHE TRUST.

The San Francisco Star says of the
slump in prices of building material
in that city and of the reaction of the
exorbitant prices charged the stricken
city by the building material trusts:
That is good news from San Fran
cisco, the slump in the price of build
ing material. Iron and steel, OF
course, which are protected by the
highly beneficent tariff and which are
controlled by combinations with a
"cinch," have not fallen in price, but
lumber has dropped Sc a thousand,
and the prices of lime and brick have
also decreased materially.
An effort, it will be recalled, was
made Immediately after the earth
quake to provide for rebates on all
material used in the rebuilding of San
Francisco, but our lawmakers chose
to stand pat, preferring to continue to
duSHleHl lhe lortuheS VI 'hS S'SSi ohN
iron barons at the expense of unfortu-
nate san Francisco. other material
men not protected by the tariff took
advantage of the burned city's neces
stiles and added all the traffic woult
bear.
1t now appears that they overreach
ed themselves, those contemplating
building finding they could secure ma
coast, and the slump resulted. TIL,
decrease will aid materially in the re
building of San Francisco, as indeed
it will stimulate building all over tn
coast.

TO HINDER RECLAMATION.

The only effect of Justice Brewers
decision on the constitutionality of the
national reclamation act, will be to
hamper and complicate national irri-
cation projects. and thus play into the
hand of the private corporations which
are seeking to thwart the government
wherever possible. This is probably
the intent of the decision.
Brewers contention that the con-
stitution does not expressly say that
congress can control and reclaim arid
lands is the veriest sophistry. Sup
pose national development had been
confined all along, in every phase, to
the express and specific declarations
OF the ancient constitution; suppose no
railroad land grants had been given
as an inducement for railroad con-
made by congress to improve harbors,
open rivers or perform any public
service, unless 1t was expressly and
specifically authorized by the text OF
the constitution, where would national
life and development be today?
The national reclamation act was
not the result of hasty action. 1t was
the fruit of long and capable investi-
cation and study and congress care
fully measured every step as the law
took form. There can be no question
as to the authority of congress to have
control Of the arid lands of the west
II congress had power to pass home
stead law, a pre-emption law, a tim
ber culture law, a stone and timber
act, a desert land act, it certainly has
power to dispose of the deserts
through the reclamation act.
The point on which Justice Brewer
founds his opinion is so far fetched
and remote that it can scarcely be
said to belong to modern issues in the
United States. The only effect of it
will be to give opponents of national
irrigation a legal standing and give
them a leverage with which to hold
back national development.
Justice Brewer belongs to another
age. He has been outgrown by the
dynamic progress of the past few
years and it all shows the folly OF the
life tenure of supreme judges. Like
the human system, the supreme court
should be completely changed every
seven years, at the outside.

A JERSEY is A JERSEY.

No matter how many times the Jer-
sey breed of cattle is crossed with
bigger and better breeds, once a Jer-
sey always a Jersey. The telltale yell
low streak runs down the belly and
the unmistakable black rings are

the fifth and sixth generations.
Even so with the little mongrel
Spanish prince, christened yesterday
with 40 titles. With the blood of Aus
tria, Germany, Holland, England and
Italy mingling in his veins, and with
the more favorable points of his alien

yellow streak and the telltale black
rings of the Spanish Alfonso upon the

Salem is having the same experience
which Pendleton had in starting her
street paving. Large property owners
who will be benefited more than any
one else, are making objections to paw
ing. They forget that paving puts
money into their own pockets by in
creasing the value of their property.
None of the former opponents Of paw
ing in Pendleton would now be with
out the improvement. Salem will find
this to be true after a while, but It is
always necessary to force prosperity
upon many of us before we will accept

past scores can be forgotten and
wiped from the record.
There is no reason why Pendleton
should not be a wholesale center for
the entire rich territory of eastern Or
egon. and parts of Washington and
Idaho. Her railroad facilities and her
geographical location give her every
advantage, but the prohibitive rates
deny her this legitimate advance.
Slowly the question is coming to its
logical solution. The Columbia river
and the railroad commission are the
remedial pillars of cloud and fire to
which the peoples gaze is now di-
rected.
