THE LINCOLN COIN.

Every coin that shall bear the homely
honest face Of Abraham Lincoln in
the near future, should be tacit ap-
peal to the loyalty, honor, faith, pa
tience and good citizenship OF the men
who handle it. 1t should give forth
inspiration to the hand that passes it
and make for truer conception Of
civic duty and all the intermediate
virtues that grave-and noble face sug-
gests. But will it? Nit.
The Lincoln dollar will serve the
same old purpose Of good and evil
that all money has ministered to; it
will be plenty, and scarce, and shy,
and flush; ii will disseminate bless
ings and curses over the same old
range; it will make gods, and devils,
princes, and convicts Of men, and
saints, and magdalens Of women; it
will build palaces and shacks, hospit-
ais, and pauperies, to the glory and
shame of humanity; and it will be the
supreme factor, ever, in the markets
for staples, stocks and souls; and
life, and freedom, and character will
be in pawn to it as Of old; humanity,
in its greed and need reads but one
essential lesson from the current
coin, its mere possession; that achiev-
ed, the spirit, the pressure, the long
ing, the lust, paramount for the hour,
controls its 1eeting use and power for
good or evil; its ultimate has never
yet been recorded; and the sum if its
accomplishment, in detail, would
make history to charm and damn a
world.

COMBINE VERSUS COMBINE,

As a people we are wonderfully
slow in learning the rudimentary pol
icy Of fighting the Devil with fire.
We hear Of It often enough, quote it
frequently and commend it always;
but when it comes to applying it we
are either very stupid, or cowardly,
or indifferent, and perhaps a bit OF
all three. At all events, we are eter'
nally playing the role of the under
dog" and doing il with a complac-
ency and completeness that leaves us
not only at the mercy Of our "robber-
barons," but fit subjects for their
ridicule and contempt as we'll
There is a shadow OF excuse for
our failing to reach the greater com
bines of the country, owing to their
remoteness from our reach, in the
local sense; but the home baron
should be our meat" in a jiffy, and
would be, if we had the courage we
credit ourselves with and the per
spicuity we know we ought to posses
We know we are being exploited re-
gularly, Systematically and largely,
day by day, in hundred ways; know
ing this it is up to US to think out
and apply the remedy. No matter
what the remedy shall be, it lies il
the realm Of counter-combination.
1t has been done before with ampl'
success in communities larger thai
this and there is no reason why AS
toria should not check the evil of ex
tortion, which tlourishes widely ant
| immensely. 1t will take determine
ton, patience, business-applicatior

which are lacking here. Let l0'

THE FISHERIES AGREEMENT.

There would seem to be faint and
fair promise Of mutual understanding
on the Oregon Washington fisheries
inbroglio judging from the text OF
Saturdays agreement in the joint
Legislative conference, at Seattle.
This is good as far as il goes, and we
hope it may 60 far enough to lay the
keener issues of the craft and bring
the pickering to a welcome subsid-
ence. There is, in the present tenta-
tive arrangement, however, no pro-
vision for the stopping OF fishing
above tide-water nor the obliteration
Of the wheels, to US, the most essen
tial qualifications Of warfare based
particularly and practically upon these
two points; but that any agreement
whatever has been attained to, gives
hope for subsequent and wider con.
cessions, and we are willing to wait
for the further relief.
We believe, however, that the only
straight and satisfactory way out oi
the interminable mess, is for the peo-
pie of the two States to vote the fish
problems and responsibilities directly
into the hands Of the federal Govern
ment, if that may be done under th'
constitutions. This would max,
things more nearly equitable than w
seem to be able to achieve, and de
localize the strain and strife, whicl
would help some.

NEW YORK AND HER VAST
STRING OF FADS
BRIDGE WHIST THE MANIA OF
HoUR--LATEST STYLES OF
SUICIDE THERE.

New York has q brand new sport
known as pigeon ilaueriug" which
is another way OF saying pigeon steal
ing, among the owners of the 100000
birds which are kept in this city AL
though there Is q reward Of twenty
five cents ior every pigeon stolen,
the act is not an illegi,imate one, but
simply the expression Of the newest
pastime here, For many years the
breeding OF carrier pigeons has been
large industry conducted on the
roofs OF apartment houses IL the up
town districts. From single roof
in this quarter the homes Of more
than ten thousand Of these birds are
within almost a stones throw, and on
Sundays, the day on which they get
most OF the flying exercise which
they must have, the air is full Of them,
As result OF this condition the new
game OF pigeon ila,tering has sprung
up. The breeders have formed an
association and conduct this port ev.
cry seventh day. AS all the birds are
what are known as "homerS" that is
those which return 70 their own lofts.
the novel idea Of inducing them not
10 do so has been introduced Each
iancier trains especially intelligent
birds to flatter those belonging to
other persons and induce them to
come to the rival iancier's roof. Ev-
cry pigeon thus captured is Of course
returned, but its owner has to pay a
fine OF twenty-five cents Tor each one
or give it up. There is a reglar set
OF rules governing this unique sport
and the most successful breeders who
sometimes capture as many as zoo
birds in an afternoon make a very
fair income in this way. Every bird
owner has few pigeonsathat are es-
pecially good mixers These birds
| have the hospitable qualities that
make strange bird feel at home
They are sen, up so often that they
seem to know they are expected 70

While other erazes come and go,
the craze for bridge whist bids fair
to 60 on forever Not only does
bridge" far exceed all other games
played in the card-rooms OF the fash
ionable clubs, in private houses after
dinner and at weekend gatherings
in country homes, but it is said on
good authority that there arc no less
than four thousand clubs, composed
chiefly OF women, which have bridge
as their sole object OF existence. Ev-
en- the servants have taken up the
all prevailing fad. As illustrating
this state Of affairs Frank Crownin-
shield tells in his pungent little book
Manners for the Metropolis" in
which he satirizes the ways Of fash
ionable society According to this
veracious narrative a woman who
lived in the suburbs was engaging a
servant and had completed all the
preliminary arrangements when sud
denly the girl inquiring how many
there were in the family. "Only my
husband and myself" replied the wo-
man. "Oh, that never would do at
ALL" said the prospective maid-of-all-
work. 81 never would think Of going
to a family in which there were not
three persons so that we could make
up four for bridge in the evening"
Just how the craze for this card game
has gone in society here is instanced
by the fact that one woman recently
lost $l1 200 dollars at friendly game,
that husbands are suing for divorce
on the grounds Of extravaganza name
it in seven cases out OF ten as the
cause of their complaint. Ten dol
lars a point is not an uncommon
stake, and it is reported that well
known woman recently won $4,000 in
single hand.

THIS A FRUIT COUNTRY.

Some of the finest specimens of
fruit ever seen on Nezperce prairie
is being gathered now and samples
Of some of it can be seen at differ
emit places in town. showing what
fruit can be raised on this prairie
without irrigation. AS matter OF
fact this prairie will soon become
one of the best fruit producing coua-
tries of the Northwest, of the more
hardy varieties, such as pears,
apples. prunes, plums. apples and
cherries. Ii has been thoroughly
demonstrated that this fruit can be
grown very successfully here and
the flavor is second to none grown In
the Northwest and superior to much
of the irrigated fruit. The crop is
also as certain as in other sections
and no fruit can be found that is
more free of disease. These condi-
tons are not as much appreciated
by many living on the prairie as
they should be. With all these adj
vantages and the additional one that
the fruit is grown without irrigation
what is the use of going to an irriga-
ted country to buy fruit ranchP
If some of those ~.a.5 want TO raise
fruit and think they must 60 to an
irrigated country to do so would put
forth the same effort that il requires
elsewhere, a fruit ranch up here
would prove a better investment.

the many advantages this country
affords until they investigate others.

ton of the country are just beginning
to be developed and it will be known
as "The land that produces.

the directors who have been instru-
mental in building the bridge. This
is not only the largest bridge IN the

bridge across the main Clearwater
river and people in small town like
Kamiah, who would take hold OF a
proposition of such magnitude and
carry it to successful completion,
are deserving of a great lot of credit.
Such enterprising people are sure to
make a good town out of Kamiah.
The bridge will prove Of great
