A PORTLAND THKKAT.
The recent Spokane freight rate
decision seem* to have atlrred staid
old Portland to the very foundation,
more go than would have followed an
earthquake and the Oregonian la
making all kind* of tbreata aa to
what will be done In cave the rail
roada refuaue to grant them a pro
portionat* reduction to that given
Spokane. But the Spokeaman-Re
view aeema to have a atrong and a
broad grip on the eltuatlon aa it ex
lata In reality and expounda a few
facta which the Oregonian and Ita
read era will do well to conalder be
fore aboutlng too loud. It aaya:
"Already a great beating of tom
toma to terrify the tranacontlnental
railroad* la heard down Portland
way.
'If the rallroada do not meet the
reduced rate* to Spokane with a cor
reepondlng reduction to Coaat point*
they will loae practically all of the
Coaat traffic which can be eaally di
verted to the ocean carrier*,' la the
threat of the Oregonian.
"But Hill and Harrlman have nev
er been atrons on the 'turn the other
eheek' doctrine, and might meet an
organised uae of ocean carrier* by
the Portland ahlppera with a blunt
announcement* that If Portland mer
chant* were going to uae the ocean
veaaela for the long haul they could
alao try them for the ahort distribut
ing haul from Portland Into the In
terior. Portland shipper* could pile
ocean freight pretty high on docka
and in warehouses before the mer
chandise could find Its way Into the
Interior, unless It has low distribut
ing rates over the rallroada.
"The rant la that Portland Jobbers
are using the railroads and paying
present freight rates because, all
thing* considered, those ratee are
cheaper than ocean ratea. The aea
aervlee la one of long and vexatious
delays, Imposing Interest on the
goods tied up in transit, marine In
surance and damage to merchandise.
Many lines can not be carried at all
by water; many others are manufac
tured or produced la the Interior and
can not profitably he shipped from
their points of origin east by rail to
the Atlantic, bear the coat of re
peated handlings and stand the com
bination rail and water chargee
around the tip of South America or
across the isthmus.
"Portland shippers would soon
weary of an attempt to fight the rail
roads with water competition, and
the longer they played that game. It
they played It at all effectively, the
greaser would become the need of the
railroads fortifying In the Interior
elUee."
During the closing hours of the
Idaho legislative session Sunday the
members seem to hate lost some
thing. According to press reports
from Boise they abandoned all digni
ty and surrendered themselves to
riotous scenes and acts that would
do credit to any mob bent upon see
ing how much hell they could raise
in a given length of time. Reports of
such scenes published throughout the
country may advertlae the state, but
the elaae of publicity which It gives
Is very questionable.
Jeff Davis' cry for "a Caesar In the
Whit* House" recalls Lincoln's retort
to a similar euggesttoa when "confu
alea worse coo found rd" seemed to
three too the nation. "Ill attend to the
Oaeaar b oa t w ee* myself." said he. and
aR the world knows bow be did it.
Oovernment problems are always
about the same and aa we can't have
a man to show us what Lincoln would
do mm ft might be well to study up
eu what Lincoln did then.

Thiers as a Prompter.
Among tbe anecdote* related by the
®f art iela Massa tn hto "Souvenirs et
Impressions" is one about the first
■Meet of the French republic. It
an: "A short time after young TMeru
hud been elected as a legislator • num
barof our eet arranged to give a per
formance of 'Roman cbes la per tie i s '
•t the bouse of a mutual friend. On
tbe evening of tbe performance our
prompter deserted us. end wi t h out a
moment's hesitation the new fledged
deputy volunteered to take the piece,
and despite the protests of some of
the party, who feared that hto dignity
might be everlastingly injured, he
Jumped Into tbe box, where he re
mained reedy to help ua In time of
need until tbe curtain descended on
whet proved to be e highly settofac
tory performance."
Hunting With Lighted Crab*.
A group of clubmen seated about an
odorous cedar fire talked of bunting.
"Once I bunted with lighted crabs,"
•aid an ax-consul. "It was tn the des
olate region of France celled La Ven
dee There to no bunting there but
ecu gulls (wbtcb tbe French adore to
shoot) end rabbits. It was to get tbe
rabbits that we need tbe crabs. We
caught some dose ns of small, lively
fellows, fastened on tbelr becks light
ed candles and shoved them down
Into rabbit boles. The rabbtta, scared
to death by thoae strange moving
lights, rushed forth frantically—forth
Into tbe very mosaics of ouf guns.
This sounds rather frisky perhaps, bat
It is a Vendean custom as widespread

Concerning tbe reliability of things
In print It la recalled that Charles
Sumner criticised General Grant sav
agely. and some time after some one
was talking to Grant about atheism tn

These
ore the words
used by the great
emancipator in his fa
mous speech, delivered at his old home to
his friends and neighbors at Springfield, 111.
Recalling what little opportunity he had in
his early youth to gfet.an education, and look
ing back to the days when he walked miles
and miles for a book (for he then owned none
of his own), Abraham Lincoln pleaded with
the rural and village people, his old friends
and associates to*feive their children a better
chance—a chance to fight the battles of life
successfully.

education; you can give this same opportunity or better to
