ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

We want TO ask the SIGNAL; What sal
AIRY does Judge Hepburn receive? How
much does Northern Pacific owe govern
mentY What is the difference in princi-
pie between stealing sneep and stealing
lamb?-Caldwell Tribune.
We incidentally, week or so ago
presumed on few words regarding
the coming legislature and its chief
duty Of electing United States SEN
ator, and sometime or somewhere we
said something that caused the Cald-
well Tribune to infer that we were
rather sweet on Sweet and not strictly
IN favor of its specially preferred
candidate, Mr.. Hepburn. We should
have alluded to this subject sooner,
but were too magnanimous to attack
the Tribune man until he had fully
recovered from the effects of our last
scathing article; but presuming that
by this time he has resumed the
cuticle we placed on the fence, we
will now rise to remark that the min
imum salary of railway attorneys in
ordinary times, when petty larceny is
contemplated, is twelve thousand dol
lars per annum; but on occasions like
the present, where the unlawful APP
preparation of the whole hog is con-
templated, the simple salary compen-
sation sinks out of sight and nothing
but the remuneration and perquisites
OF senator are in any way adequate.
This means all there Is in sight and a
bill for the balance. Regarding
Northern Pacific railway interests in
the coming Legislature, the bill intro
duced last week to restore 81, 600, 600
acres of land might call for some
special attention, and that, figura-
lively speaking, while as attorney a
man could steal the Idaho lamb. he
would be in excellent shape rs sena-
tor to assist in appropriating the
government sheep. We hope these
few but lucid explanations, kindly
meant, will in a manner act as n balm
to our brothers lacerated epiderms.
There was nothing malicious in our
former severity; but, Judging from his
surroundings, we never dreamed his
sensiblities were so delicate.

"PFACE ON EARTH ~

'Peace on Earth, Good Will to
Man, is the Christmas motto that
has travelled down the ages and pealed
in song from the lips of millions each
yuletide. Peace on earth, good will
to man-it suggests to all minds the
vision of bells merrily pealing out
over the snow covered bills and sun
lit valleys, the story of glad tidings
of the birth of the Prince of Peace,
how the thoughts that come into mems
minds on that day are changed from
sordid money getting to somthing like
kindness and generosity lovely a
theory as the mind of man could
conceive and worthy the practical at.
tentlon OF an angel. But some way
things are out Of joint, not strictly
harmonious. Below we give the en-

Rev. DR.. Curry, who recently APP
peared before the convention of a
certain denomination at Boston and
howled against the Sunday papers, is a
very cold old mummy. cit is hard, "
he squeaked, "to see how people can
justify the immediate prefacing of
their prayers and their holy commun-
ion by partaking an hour before of
the world, the flesh and the devil,
through the columns of the Sunday
paper. What a contrast between
the icy condition in which this Bible
beater has been preserved from de-
composition and the sunny state of
mind in which another preacher
talked after being gently reproached
for having delivered dull sermon.

A DANGEROUS PULPIT.

The discourses of some rabid min
listers, thank God, are not endorsed
by all the pulpits in the country.
The influence of good, conscientious
ministers is unbounded and we need
host of them. But unless the
higher element is thought of often,
one cannot read the sermons of some
eastern preachers, as reported in some
of the papers, without being filed
with horror at the dangerous sway of
the church towards principles that
have swallowed up nations. The
church needs "A vigorous wedding out
of bad preachers. The preaching
against labor unions by Cincin
natti preacher is clear case of wor-
shipping the golden calf. This sky
pilot disputes the rights of working
men to organize at all. But the ex-
trayagant love and extreme submits.
sion with which he recognizes the
rights of corporations 70 organize
shows how faithfully his soul hang
eth around the flesh pots of the plu-
tocratic kitchen. 1t is no secret to
the masses that capital has organized
to deprive labor of certain rights.
and it is consequently pretty clear
that when our men Of God deny the
simple right OF labor to organize in
self defense, there is too little god
in the pulpit TO go around. The fac,
is, anarchy and socialism have gained
great point by thus securing
foothold in American pulpit The
question whether the pulpit shall be
"A Augcan stable or place of God,
looms mp very seriously today.

A NATURAL CENTER.

and in regard to connection with
Northern Idaho it is an arbitrary
point. The same may be said also
OF the adjacent territory of Eastern
Oregon. All prominent roads point
toward our town and are only de.
Elected by the lack of proper artificial
conveniences for travel. Our roads
are beyond comparison, poor oul
bridges are with one exception, un-
safe. The demand of the times is
radical improvements, and the con-
struction of bridge across Snake
river. Rival points with fewer adj
vantages are overcoming the situation
by increased effort, and prestige once
lost is the most difficult of all things
. to regain. We must have the I'M
divided and unlimited aid of every
citizen TO carry out this important
undertaking, and with it we are
nearer success than most people
think

n Tale of Two Capitals.

\ friend Of mine, recently deceased,
told me, if my memory serves me cor
rectly, that he had tho following facts
from Baron Haussmann himself: Or
dered by Napoleon III. to submit plans
for the renovation of Paris. tie Baron
was for some time ut a loss 20 meet the
twofold requirements, of the contem-
plated improvements for the now
streets 4 to be at once beautiful and
so laid out as to re readily commanded
by artillery. Suddenly he bethought
him of modern Washington. He So
cured plan of that city, and this
seemed on examination SO exactly to
meet the necessities Of the case that
he finally submitted it to the Emperor.
The result was that the plan in the
main was accepted, and modern Paris
was built upOL the lines of mOdcrn
Washington. Thus is explained a cor
ain similarity which strikes eveiy
n who is familiar with the two cnpf-
tails, although one might naturally sup
pose the American city, being the
younger, to be the daughter, instead
of the mother. But General WASH
ington more than half a century earlier
had ordered LlLnfant to design him a
plan for his seat Of government in
much h manner as Napoleon III. had
commanded Baron Haussmann. Now.
IiEnfant was not only q F~rcnchman,
but II resident of Versailles, and he un-
doubtcdly derived his inspiration from
his earlier surroundings consequently
Washington was an enlargement of the
Royal Park, with its alleys extended
into venue and its numerous flower
beds and parterres enlarged into cir
clcs and quadrants. Thus by a trans
oceanic leap Baron Haussmann took
from the New World what he could
have secured at his own gate. So
much for q merely curious artistic
coincidence. But in light of recent
developments in our capital, singular
inquiry suggests itself namely, whoth-
on General Washington, in laying out
the city, did not have in mind the same
twofold object that Napoleon the Third
had when laying out Paris. To be
sure, tho present Industrial army
10Y bids fair to end in ridf.
Guile. But at some later date a moro
desperate one may require to be con-
trollcd by artillery, and then the broad
and straight streets OF the
capital may be appreciated for other
than mere mthetic considerations, and,
on the contrary, serve as an additional
proof of far-sighteGncss North Ameri-
can Review for June.
