Now 1 hold it in my hand.
*T»s a* neat h bit of timber
As IrvUnd can produce.
And 1 never saw its equal
For active lighting iK-e.
I love it as a brother
He cause in many a frny.
It has shown it* flgliting (jualities
And always won the day.
Before its persuasion
The "cop" has o»t went down,
has been proved conclusively
In that tight at Mitchelstown.
No other land on all this earth
Can hear it on its breast ;
N" other wood can he produced
To fand a better test.
The man whose head should once colli It»
With its sharp and tiny spear*,
Wi!I find a humming in that load
For ever after years.

Our partnership must end,
Recause I've pledged t.i give you
To •» warm bosom frend ;
VVhw though your native hi.Is and dales

lie admires ( lie old blackthorn,
The shamrock au 1 the green*
As a gift, or as a token,
Some knavi s may think you light ;
Th ir opinions yo : would alter
Should you meet them in » fight.
You are not here intended
For pageant or for show.
But as a link to hind good Irishmen
And sot their heart aglow.
Accept it, boon companion,
Preserve it with good care,
L* t no one from it* thorny tdilej
A fdngltt thorn pare.
Le» no one mar the polished hark
Which sun and nature gave,
And from the touch of Irish traitors
He sure you must it save.
Occasionally you rub it down
With a drop of tnounta'a due,
Then this darling "oidd" blackthorn
Will look as blight as new.
It wdl shine in all its *plend< r
A* you a?and it on the Boor,
And the courage it will bring you
Would make you lick a score,
Whi.e resting free fur action
Uu its perch upon the wall,
Recollections sad, yet gloriotia
It surely must recall.
To those wh<* fought, n»d still will fight.

When tbe sword of freedom glis'ena
They can count ou you and me.
Fare you well, my dear blackthorns,

On Saturday, the 18th of Feb., a
company of prohibition ladies and gentle
men ami also two gCDtleuien attorneys
for tbe brewers, bad a hearing before the
national senate committee, on the subject
of prohibition in the district of Columbia.
Each eidu was granted one hour, and I
have an idea that never were sixty
minutes more thoroughly packed with
logic and fact than those granted out side
on that debate. Mrs Le Fetre president
of the Washington city union spoke first
and introduced our attorney, Mrs. Ida
Bittenbender, who discussed the high
license error. A letter from Senator
Ingalls, of Kansas, whieh witnessed to
the good effects of prohibition in that
state, was read, after which Judge
Moulton, of Washington, spoke, and our
little Miss Willard brought up the rear
with a plea for the home as against the
saloon. How three women, one man
and a written letter couid be heard by a
given committo in one hour is a mystery
I shall not undertake to solve, but so a
late paper states. Which side had the
closing debate is oot stated. "He laughs
best who luughs last," is an old proverb
and it seems to be about the same
talking. In circulating a pelilion ou this
uhject, lately, I met some contrasting
.pinions. One signed it saying, "whetli
er I keep Huber myst If or not, I want
my law muk>rs to." That seemed sound
logic to me. Another objected on the
-ike- ground that we "couldn't legislate
men into lieaveB." .That, is not wliat
we are trying to do; only lepisluBiT?
■gainst anybody's placing a soaru to trip
them into hell. One thought it was too
much like "minding bis neighbor's busi
ness.'' It dldu't so seem to us. One
wouldu't sign lor he said "it w not thu
congressmen who do the drunkiog but
the citizens ho bad been there. But
if it is not how does it happen they kei p
saloon so handy ; right under the
dome? To treat their friends perhaps.
Another said, "it looks inconsistent to
s;gu this when we have elected a uiau to
represent us who use* the beverage."

Prohibition's coming, who will help it on
the road. When emancipation wan ask
ing for the right of way through our
nation it a'arted from this very Disliict
ot Columbia. How could it? Why
just because a majority of our law mak
ers in congress weie not slave owner*.
How lung would it take to get Prohibi
tion there, if only a majority of our law
maker* were not wbiakey drinkers?
Why just one minute, fifty-bine and

D. F. Sherman read letters from of
fieials of the St. I'aul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba road, going to show that the
read had not yet decided on > routo In
the coast also, i hat in all likelihood the
line would not reach Oregon thistessor.
>1 r. Sherman thought the board «hiilÿid
ihow a disposition, in an official wajf,JD>
have the Manitoba come to Oregon.^*'
Mr. Arnold stated that recently lfff
met Mr. I'hi! (iibson, wtio fa connected
with tbe Manitoba. Mr. (xiI)9on told
liim that no plans bad been decided upon
ns to wlmt course to pursue, whether it
will go to the Sound or Portland, or
both. Mr, Arnold judged from what
he could learn that the Manitoba would
r nch lor the business of both sections.
Mr. Gibson was surprised at Cortland s
size and sni I it was too important a place
for the Manitoba to miss. He thought,
inasmuch ns Walla Walla aud Lewiston
want the Manitoba, the Coeur d'Ahne
railroad committee should correspond
with the Manitoba officials with tbe
object of iuducing tbe road to come to
Porti.. n-J.
Col. MeCraken said that the com
mittee bus in view an excellent man to
send to consult President Hill, of the
Manitoba. The committee also has an
idea of calling the Manitoba's attention
to Clearwater Canyon, which wouhl give
it a much better route than the Northern
Pacific obtained by crossing Lake Pen
d'Oreillo.
A motion prevailed empowering the
committee to send a representative to Mr.
Hill. The boaid will pay bis expenser.
Adjourned..
If they have abandoued the project ol
crossing the divide of the Bitter llooi
Ihrough the Coeur d'Alene pass, we an
with them and we will do what we can
to encourage the Clearwater route, and
so will Walla Walla.

GALLATIN TO BUTTB.
Wbut the "Pioneer Pres*" hut to say
of* Cut Ofl via the Pipe-ton* Pass.
In the Butte number of tho Pioneer
Press, of date Saturday, March 3, it says:
A glance at the map willshow tho great
advantages, in point of directness and dis
tance, to be derived Irom the construction
of lliis short cut from Oullatiu westward
via Butte and Big Hole pass to Lewiston
and a small amount of money expended
in a reconuoisance of tho route, will
verily tho statement made hire, that th
cost of building this road will be less pci
mile than it cost to' build the Northern
Pacific from Gallatin to Spokane Falls;
that both Pipestone and Big Hole passes
can be crossed on much lighter grade*
than those at Mullan tunnel ; that ther*
is less danger o( snow blockades in both
these passes limn in any other north ol
them, and that the country to be tra
versed will furnish more freight than can
be picked up on tbrve times the length
of road anywhere else north of th.
Central Pacific."
Washington, March 2. —Republi
cans on the committee on territories pro
fess great confidence that they can cat ry
through their plan to divide Dakota
Representative Baker of New York h»s
prepared a bill admitting South Dakota
as a state and giving territorial govern
ment in North Dakota. Republican:
say that they will gU enough democratic
vote* to defeat the omnibus bill prepared
by Spimgcr and supported by the demo
eratio majority of th* committee, to
aàüitt Dakota u a whole with Washing
ton, Montao* »ùd New Mexico. The
tcpublican programme is to defeat ibffi
bill, pass Mr. Baker's bill, and the« await
further action of the committee relative
to other territoriea. Tho republican are
ready to admit Washington and Montana
on petitions presented by the people but
they say there have been no popular
pet.tions Irom New Mexico, and they are
disinclined to admit a lot of people who
cannot speak tbe English language.
North Dakota, republicans claim, has n
population large enough for a state, but
it cannot well be admitted until after it
has been organised as a territory and tie
people given an opportunity, in some
formal manner, to esprem their opinions
and to frame an organisation for state
government. If their programme be
carried out, they expect that petitions
will be sent in for tbe admission or North
Dakota next winter. Tho population ia

This is something we urged Hpokane

to go by default. When it comes ton

Shore line this season. Within thirty
lays a contract dill be let for tho sixty
mile section, whieh will carry the road'
over .Si" jualmie pass down the eastern
dope of the Cascade* mountains, and on to'
be Columbia river. A line one hundred
and fifty miles iu length will then Lav*
been laid. It is probable, however, that
before the mouutuin division can be in'
worki g order, the road will bo extended
east to the Columbia, through the Big:
Bend couutry. Inasmuch os thu push-'
