wen Hold the Fort.

The Bedrock Democrat says that
Baker has stolen our golden egg and
that Weiserites are much alarmed
thereat 1t makes this statement in
consequence of an article in last
weeks SIGNAL which told what might
possibly take place if our people
were too indolent. 1t is plain,
brother Democrat, that fort might
be invincible as long as it is protected
by those within, but if its defenders
were to leave the gate open and reek-
lesslv lie down and slumber the
beseigers would find it an easy prey
The SIGNAL spoke of what could
take place but that is not saying that
it has come to pass.
No, No, dear Baker, we are moi
going to leave the gate open. We
are invincible and will hold the fort
until the fiery lakes have congealed.

The SIGNAL has several times lately
spoken Of the seeming inactivity of
the people of our town in regard to
the Seven Devils. 1t seemed as
though they were asleep while Baker
and other towns were pushing things
to focus. Since last issue certain
facts have been divulged to US which
are surprising. We are not at liberty
to give them to the public at present,
but can assure the people that they
will hear something pop, and pop loud
in this direction soon. Lay low and
waitl Unseen forces are at work
around these parts and will soon turn
themselves loose with a roar that will
shake Baker city and some other
towns to their very foundation stones.
Individual booms are very good thing,
but where such powerful corporations
as the Union Pacific interest them.

A petition asking the commissioners
for an appropriation to be used in
constructing road from Evans
ranch on Bear creek to intersect the
Kleinsmith wagon at point near the
Lockwood mine is being circulated in
the upper country. 1t will soon be

signature of every man in the town.
The said piece Of road would be only
six miles in length and would give
Weiser and intermediate points direct
connection by wagon road with the
mines.

Boomerang Booming.

Boomerang is destined to become
the "great turmoil point of Idaho.
The railroad leading out of that place
is already graded and ready for track
laying to a point within seyenty-hye
miles of the upper end of Salubrla
valley, and still the work continues.
That the enterprise will be crowned
with success and glory is assured by
the fact that General Supt. Bates,
formerly in copartnership with Lock
wood and Patterson in the great
Middle Fork mica mines, is at the
helm. Mr.. Bates, who is a possessed
of incalculable wealth, and who is
ably seconded by the secretary of the
company, Mr. Sproat (Bill
Nye) who is also just as
equally well fixed, assures the citizens
of the city of Boomerang that to TAI
in the great undertaking of dumping
the Seven Devils into that city is al
m ossibility. A large force of ell
glneers unu,i the general supervision
of Peter Pence is now busily engaged
laying out town sites along the lln'
of the great thoroughfare. Weise

Erecarious Condition.

The Monroe creek bride on Main
street appears to be in very unstable
condition and should be attended to
at once. The waters of the creek
have cut away the bank under the
foundation at the east end of the
bridge until that end is almost ready
to drop down into the creek, and as
the waters rise after every warm day
they are continually eating the bank
away. A heavily loaded team may
cause the bridge to collapse any day.
A little work in time might save much
damage later on.

a Unique oven.

Mrs jackson has had constructed
for use at her bakery a very unique
bake oven which is her own invention
and if patented might prove quite q
little fortune to her. It's constructed
of sheet iron and bakes equal to a
brick oven and can be set on and OF
the stove at will. The stovelids are
removed and the oven placed on the
stove, the fame entering holes in the
bottom and circling it between the
outer and inner walls and passing
thence into the stove pipe. Forty
eight loaves of bread may be baked
at time.

The court has cut the Gordian knot, and has
accomplished what the people Of Washington
have long desired, but for which they have
appealed to their legislature in vain The
selection OF policemen for the capital Is no
longer limited to persons honorably dis
charged from the army or navy. The statute
10 this effect was one of the measures passed
after the close Of the civil war to testify to tho
nations gratitude TO its defenders. and its first
effect was to give to the District the benefit OF
the services of men who, having seen service in
the field, we're presumptively brave, strong and
Injured TO exposure and fatigue. But men In
the prime Of their strength at the close Of the
war are now superannuated. They are not fitted
for and do not need, and in fact are not en-
gagged in this work. The reason Of the law has
ceased to exist, and the enactment is
hindrance and nuisance. Impractical present
effect IL to require our policemen TO be drawn
from peace enlistments in the regular army, in
some cases men who have enlisted for the sole
purpose Of being discharged and becoming
eligible to a position upon the capitals police
force. Among some good material obtained
by chance under this ridiculous system
there has been much that has been con-
spicuously unit and thoroughly unsatisfactory.
Congress has appreciated the evil, but has
feared TO do anything which might be con-
strued as rejecting upon the old soldiers, even
though the suggestion were merely to the effect
that soldiers like other men are subject to the
infirmitics of age. The court now happily do
cides that the statute is inapplicable as a limi-
tation upon the power Of the Commissioners to
make police appointments. the law establishing
the board of Commissioners virtually abrogGt-
ing the Objectionable statute. Washington re-
joices that the obstacle in the way of the per-
feet development Of the local police
force has been swept aside, and that
there ia now no hindrance TO securing
for all vacancies among the local
guardians of the peace the most able-bodied
and intelligent men, residents of the District,
acquainted with the city, its people, Its streets
and alleys and interested to some extent in its
welfare. The capital. with its miles of surface
area and its small allowance CT policemen TO
cover these magnificent distances, needs the
most effective individual guardians of the
peace that can be secured.

The British yield reluctantly to the American
condition that the North American Company
be permitted to kill 1880 seals on the islands,
in connection with a close season in Boring sea.
The Americans yield reluctantly to any limita-
ton whatever upon seal-killing in the islands,
in connection with the suspension o. poaching
on the sea- Both parties to the controversy
want a close season and the cessation of the in
discriminate and lawless slaughter of the seals
while away from the islands, for unless this is
stopped there Will soon be no seals to quarrel
over. But each party is impeded in perfecting
arrangements to protect the seals and arbitrate
differences by the fear that in some way its 20
sition may be compromised. Our government
with control of the sealing ground and claim
of control over the sealing waters has most to
lose. In making any arrangement whatsoever
with foreign power which limits our right TO
do as we please with our own, and permits
that power to participate to any extent in the
regulation of our purely domestic affairs, we
60 far in the matter of concessions. and Great
Britain viii act wisely not to wound the
national sensitiveness, already irritated, by OBJ
stinate insistence upon its views in the details
of an arrangement, which is an American con-
cession il made in any shape. IL we cannot.
will not, or ought not under the circumstances
protect with powder and shot against thieves
of all nationalities the property that We bought
from Russia, then We must arbitrate, and pend
ing arbitration must suffer the loss arising from
a limitation upon the seal-killing at the islands,
in order that the greater loss of the complete
determination of the seals may not be endured.

There are symptoms betokening very clearly
that the American hierarchy of the Catholic
church do not take kindly to the proposition to
segregate those immigrants of the Catholic
faith who do not speak the English language.
1t is rightly seen that to provide for these peo-
pie separate worship and schools is not only to
divide the government and interests Of the
Catholic church but also TO retard patriotic eff
forts to have all Americans imbued with Ameri-
can ideas. To this end the early acquisition of
the English language is extremely important
and no movement looking to different result
should be encouraged by any part of the public
of this country. With the Internal policy of
any Of the churches so far as it is not concerned
more or less directly with the general good of
the whole people, there is no occasion and no
right of intervention. Freedom of thought and
worship are ensured to all religious bodies and
all persons. The matter Of perpetuating the
foreign tongue of the immigrant is one which
concerns the rest Of Americans who desire for
tine republic as far as possible homogeneity
of manners, speech and political ideas.
The matter Of who shall teach the children of
immigrants and preach to themselves, aside
from this general desire Of homogeneity, is one
wholly in the jurisdiction of the immigrant.

II is to be observed from the correspondence
that the responsibility for the delay in the mat

rest on the shoulders of the Secretary Of State

ish government that was not ready to proceed,
and the fact should be noted by the American
critics employed upon what Sir Julian Paunce-
