It was proviled in the hill that the l.i per cent of Dingley Tariff rates levied slruld le almlishe-.l as soon as the Legislature of I'orto liico should provide other means of raising revenue. Thai l.l is now in session and there is a stumg protest in it to any change. The representatives of the I'orto Kicans ssv that no other method of taxation would furnish the j funds of the island's needs with so little, hardship to the people, ami they are in- ' elined to let the Tariff alone. .So j perishes another instance of Kcpuhlican j "oppression." j Occasionally one runs across a ''busi ness man," who, if the newspaper man sks him for an advertisement or a local, says a well informed member of the traft, he ill tell you he doesn't ''be lieve in advertising a paper is never read." Hut let that same "business man" be caught hugging the hired girl, or chasing a loose piece of calico up the street afttr dark, or struggling with a jug of "tamarind water," and if the printing otlice is in the garret of a twenty-story building he will climb to the top and ask the editor not to publish it in the papr. Governor Pingree, on retiring from ' ntlice in Michigan : "I've got a big list jf ingruU'-1, hypocrites, and boodlers who have pretended to be my iriends nd then betrayed me." Kvih-ntly the' governor got into bad company while in vtlice. There is little cxvi.-.e I n an 'aone.it man who falls into the bands of hypocrites and boodlers and ne-ets his political dow nfall at their hands. A I man able enough to win election to the j high otlice of Governor of his state, is! presumably able to keep out of bad com-I iny afterw ards. Plans are lading formed in Spokane to j enfarge the state of Washington by te- j ruring the annexation of the northern part of Idaho, The purpose is: to add to Washington the entire region know n as ,he "Panhandle" which include') all of fre famous Coetir d' Alune mining dis tricts, as well as most of the rich clear ings.

The trotting race on Christmas day between Pan lioone's steed ISoonc ville and Hill Harry's slallion Ameer was a grand success, and was a source of ureal amusement tv "Phlshers." It was an "o ners to drive" race, and as. the thig dropped for the start Hoone showed slightly in the lead up to the j quarter, when Ameer began to warm up. j About that time Harry was ncck-and-i neck with Hoone, and singing "Ta-Ta-j Dan," whet. Hill's jug rolled out of the j cart, which buuienhat handicapped j Hooiiville. Alter passing the quarter j Mile Ameer put on extra steam and got beyond the control of His Tuleship, and as the noble animal forged ahead and hove to the right, Harry and Hoone lock ed w heel's ami the latter landed seven sage brushes distant. Harry landed on lop ot a wheel, and stayed with the wheel, and has it1 yet. The horses were racing around the Plu.ih race course ( then to suit themselves, when Nolan j Curry ami I'd.

I Tlie scenery has changed here some what as we have a splendid mantle of the "licaulitul." Wild geese and swan j are still here in large numbers. Hill Walker killed lour swan at one shot yesterday in Warner Lake. Very little hay has been fed out so far this winter. Cattle, sheep and horses' are do.ng splendidly. j Al'ewdas ago Mayor Fine's team, j while p issing Tule Judge Harry's otlice j in thcnwump, with a load of hay, be- came frightened at something and start- j ed on the run. Mr. Fine was thrown j from the load, and g.-tting tangled in the ! lines was being d lagged by the run-! aways, w hen brave Hill Hurk, who had, been standing in the olliee door, made a lightening bound (you know Hill isijuite active; and in the "shake of a lamb's tail" be was mounted on the back of one of the maddened horses, and with a powerful effort stopped the team dead still. After this heroic deed Hill turned to Fine and said: "You may thank meself ami (iisl that you were not killed," after which he strode proudly into the Judge's olliee and resumed the writing of a demurrer which he is to present in an important case in Harry's court. The death rate in this locality is very small, vet we have lost one from among us (in the person of Mrs. May Jones) who is very much regretted. The hus band, I). K.

Southern Oregon, says the Oregonlan, seems to be in as great need of seal n boun ties for stage robbers as for coyotes. The hell did not ring last Saturday hut everybody thought there was a tire in Dunlap A thrustou's, as great crowds were seen rushing in and out of that popular establishment. It was nothing more or less than the public rushing there to take advantage of that reduc tion of 10 per cent in dry goods and furnishing goods and 5 per cent in gro ceries. Only two weeks more of this great sale. The lower house of i'nti(rrc ha panned a bill which so inl.iris the I-ro n. l-Ts'f the ug- ricult ill ill di pal t -Ih. Bird.. IU(.Iit that j( nmv une its effort m to preserve, distribute, iutroduce and restore the gime it tit wild bir5 of the country. The chief weapon by which the cl 1 10 r ' 1 1 , 1. 1 in armed by this law is the in.ic'iil pro hibition of the transportai ion tl i'M,ch intertute commerce of nil game killed in violation of local laws. For Ji.ir the passage of this meiuoire ha been sought by every sirtMni n' oreuni.a tion unit by every bird protective so ciety in the land. Thf Mint n. tit of this law. remarks t he 'liieM'o Ti ileine, (loct, more ut one nt roke for t he pi en r vatiou of the wild birds than all that the protectionists have necolnplished since they began their tabors. The measure make it unlawful forunv per son to deliver to mi) common '-uri'ier for traiisHirtation from one state Ui another any 'U-ail bodies or parts of dead bodies of any animals or hirds killed in violation of the laws of the state in which they were shot. It i a well-known fwt that nine-tenths of the game consumed in the large eit ies is taken there from ktnten which have non-export laws. The bill puts into the hands of l.'ncle Sam the pre vention of this law lesrit ss. Hereafter nil body who sends a gull or a tern to the big- millinery markets of Chicago will be an offender against interstate commerce laws. It is hcni.il by the League of American Spoitnmei,, which has had this bill in charge, that it will be suffered to go to the president for vigiiature without change. The agi tation of the last few yenrs by people who have been willing to be called bird crunks and sentimentalists seems at last to have accomplished it pur pose. Let tlie birds sing. Within the last 20 years a citizen of Springfield. Mass., haa planted awl cared for l.OUo trees in the streets and public places of the town, Fifteen hundred dozen hats a day is the output of a Yotikers (N. V.) factory. A St. Louis judge haa ruled that if a husbnnd be locked on! by his wife he rriny chop down the door, if neces sary, to gcin entrance but he has to pay for the door. According to an eastern exchange, rural free delivery by electric cars Is likely to be established in some sec tions of New Kngland this year. A young Ksklrno woman who is is itlntf Chicago was greatly disturbed at first by the electric cars. She thought that they were run by devils. A Milwaukee judge has decided that passengers in street cars have a right to refuse to "move up front" when or dered to do so by conductors. The place of t he hen in political econ omy may be judged from the Ktateinent that 4.')0,ooo.n-),000 eggs are iu cold storage in the I'nited S'atcs.
