THE LOCAL STRIKE.

The strike of the bricklayers on what
Is popularity termed the Oregon Short
Line office building is matter of re-
greet There is no building boom going
on nor has there been for a number
Of years, and when some weeks ago
1t was announced that this building
was going to. be erected all felt that it
was matter of congratulation, as it
was, as it would add an Improvement
to the town and furnish some employ
nent TO men who had been wanting it
for long time. Now comes this strike.
OF the merits. of It we do not speak.
but we believe we voice public senti-
ment when we say that it seems a very
unwise thing for men who are getting
three dollars day in excessively hard
and dull times to strike for four dol
lars a day. Were times flush and work
abundant, were employers looking for
men rather than men looking for en-
ployment, it would be entirely different.
That the places Of the striking brick
layers can be readily filled there is no
question; and most likely they will be-
The strike may continue for some
time or it may be settled forthwith; it
is to be hoped it will be. If it is not
and the board of arbitration, which
was created last winter, takes-corni-
zance of it, it will be interesting to
note just what efficacy in matters of
this kind it has. The fatal defects in
such boards, no matter how competent
the members thereof may be, is that
they have no compulsory powers. They
can neither compel the submission to
them OF disputes, nor after they have
been submitted can they compel com
pliance with their decision. They are
very much in the same position that
congress was under the articles Of con-
federation-they can recommend every
thing and do nothing. Anyhow, this
strike may afford the arbitration com
an opportunity to wear their
red top boots.

BOARDING HOUSE GEOMETRY.
Some Humble Truths Expressed in
Scientific Language.

stephen Leacock in Truth: Definitions
and Axioms-All boarding houses are
the same boarding house.
Boarders in the same boarding house
and on the same fat are equal to one an
other.
A single room is that which has no
parts and no magnitude.
The Iandlady OF a boarding house is a
parallslogram-that is. an oblong. an
gular figure. which cannot be described,
but which is equal to ANYTHING
A wrangle is the disinclinatlon OF Two
boarders to each other that meet to-
gether but are on the same fiat.
All the other rooms being taken. a SIN
gle room is said to be double room.
PostulateS and PropoSitions-A pie may
be produced any number of times.
The landlady can be reduced to her
lowest terms by a series of propositions

ANY two meals at boarding house are
together less than two square meals.
If from the opposite ends of a boarding
house a line be drawn passing through
all the rooms in turn then the sto-e9i2e
which warns the boarders will lie within
that line
on the same bill an on the same side
of it there should not be two charges for
the same thing.
If there be two boarders on the same
fat and the amount of side of the one
be equal to the amount of side of the
other each to each, and the wrangle be-
tween one boarder and the landlady be
equal to the wrangle between the land
lady and the other. then shall the weekly
bills of the two boarders be equal also.

For if not. let one bill be the greater.

might have been-which is absurd

case of third-class woods, and the duty
on lead is increased.
q The bill is in the senate but no one
can say as 10 what extent it will be
modified there from what it was as it
came from the committee. There will
be a great clamor that it be passed
very speedily The clamor should not
be needed so far as the Democrats are
concerned. They should debate it fully
and completely and offer, and insist
upon, such amendments as they think
wise: but pure filibustering Should be
avoided.
If the senate passes the bill orac-
tically as it comes from the committee,
so radical has been the modification of
it that the house may feel quite hos
tile and insist upon radical remodifica-
lions. But the thing that will pre-
vent the house being too insistent will
be public sentiment, which will. ap-
prove of the senate amendments. 1t
win probably be a month before the
bill IS sent over to the house Then
will come a conference committee. The
bill will hardly be on the statute books
before the end Of the fiscal year.

The Blessing of Strong Nerves

Is recoverable, not by the use of min
eral sedatives, but by a recourse to
effectual tonic treatment. Opiates and
the like should only be used as aux
iliaries, and then as sparingiy as pos
sible. Vigorous nerves are quiet ones,
and the most direct way TO render
them so is to reinforce the vital ener-
sies- That sterling invigorant. Hostel

THE STATE PRESS AND THE
JUBILEE.

Discussing the question of the rela-
lions Of the state press to the Pioneer
Jubilee the Ogden Press says:
At the meeting of the Utah Press as
sociaton on Saturday discussion de-
veIoped relative to the publication Of
matter with reference to the approach
ing Pioneer Jubilee celebration. The
question was whether or not remuner-
alton should be asked for the publica-
ton os notes, and the association al
most unanimously decided TO publish
the matter gratis.
We believe the newspapers are en-
titled 20 CONDENSATION for the work
done bv them. THE Evening Press is
not to be understood as being opposed
to the celebration. 1t will willingly lend
what aid it can to make the Jubilee
success, but il believes the laborer is
worthy of his hire, and thus when its
columns are utilized to make known
the features of a specific event or oc-
currence il should receive the equiva-
lent for the same 'Tis only proper that
the Salt Lake dailieS should put forth
every effort in their cover to boom
the jubilee, because benefits will d1-
rectlv inure to them from increased adj
vertising patronage.
And speaking of advertising the Salt
Lake papers are very much exercised
over the proposed publication by the
Jubilee commission of an official organ
to be known as The Pony Express.
This journal will invade the advertis-
ing field to the detriment of the estab-
Iished newspapers, and hence the OBJ
lection. Every newspaper should pro-
test against this publication. 1t means
the establishing of an organ with the
aid of public funds to compete with pri-
waite enterprises. and the granting of
concessions to certain persons and CIV
ing them opportunities to secure all adj
vertising moneys.
The Salt Lake papers are not "ex-
ercised'' about any advertising any Off
cial organ of the jubilee commission
may get, but the criticism of our Og-
den contemporary regarding the diver
sion of the funds contributed TO the
Jubilee to any particular paper has
much merit in it. The press of the
state has been very generous in giving
every aid and announcement to the
iurilee. and this out of good will to the
and not fer any monetary
To give pecuniary pref
erence to any one of them would be to
treat the others with injustice.

HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE.

How sleep the brave who sink to rest
BY all their countrys wishes blest,
When spring, with dewyI ringers cold.
Returns TO deck their hallow mould,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than fancys feet have ever trod.
BY fairy hands their knell is rung
By forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There Honor comes. a pilgrim gray,
70 bless the turf that wraps their clay;
And freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell weeping hermit there.

Idaho Skeletons.

Caldwell Tribune: A mans skeleton
was recently found buried near a
slaughter pen in Camas. this state. A
bullet hole through the shoulder in
Dictated possibility of murder, but no
one remembers murder ever having
taken place there. If any of the pres
ent inhabitants of Camas remember
as far back as the old Sand Hole stage
station, 25 years ago, they may be
able to account for that skeleton and
probably a number of others which
may yet be found. Jack Snyder used
to tell of killing number of men him
self, six or eight of which he threw
into Market lake during the high water
in 1872. Johnny Brent used to say that
at least 700 men were murdered by
Tom Louder'S whisky and that their
bones would be bleaching on every
sand knoll inside of 20 years. The
people of Camas need not become agi-
tated over finding a few skeletons.
Were not some of the stage passengers
who were killed in the Little Dry creek
robbery buried in that vicinity?
