When the republican party was
out of power and labor strikes oc-
Cured, republicans argued convinc-
ingly that these strikes we're cor

But now this same party has chang

article is going the rounds Of the re-
publican press with flaming headlines,
boldly announcing the following new
born truths: 1.-THE Strike Problem.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

GA prophet is not without honor
save in his own country" This,
from holy writ, is as true today as it
was in the ages past A local news
paper in growing country generally
devotes large portion of its space
to the resources known and also calls
public attention to those latent and
undevelopcd. Facts of this kind are
casually glanced over at home as be-
ing matter 80 common place and
familiar as to be scarcely worth the
reading. But scattered abroad they
are eagerly read among many people
snxiously looking for some new
land and change from the adult
communities Of the east to the more
hopeful prospects of life in the
a6oiescent west. Broad domains Of
farming lands, suggesting a home, and
timber resources of immense forests
are told of, and the fabulous and pos
sibly Elusive story of mineral wealth
locked in the mountains appeals to
adventurous spirits to come and see
for themselves. 1.-THE one small
article in the ,mparatively obscure
local paper is copied and reproduced
and like the grain of mustard seed
brings forth its million fold, and as a
rule the results of these local efforts
are to build up, develop, civilize and
create additional wealth to communi-
ties, tine man behind the pencil ordinar-
lily receiving the least benefit. 1t is
one of the most unpleasant features

Here is simple question for the voter

Whichfis it better to have, green backs,

no interest. or
National bank mites backed by the
banks, and issued on bonds drawing in

and declare in favor of the government

ume. They want govern ment greenbacks,
free coinage of silver and gold, all of
which costs the government nothing to

Dear voter, do you want the govern

Hepburn, the fat man, is moved to
wrath. because now that the godbugs
were forced into the war with Spain by
the democrats the latter should insist on
abandoning what be is pleased to call

Cuba, and to avepge the outrage OF the
Maine. They had no thought OF fruits
after the manner of the Spokane del

is ''spoils," and the Hanpaites arc
after them with q vengeance. The

Shoup must have something radically
wrong either with his mental or moral
machinery. He voted against seating
Corbett because he was appointed by a
governor of Oregon, and for Quay, who
was also appointed by governor. He
whined all over the state of Idaho that
he was as good silver man as Dubois or
anybody else, and then voted for the
ironclad gold standard bill; he voted for
the Porto Rican outrage, and is today
merely a puppet in the hands of the ad-
ministration; but then Mckinley is to
give Shoup ''help of the most substan-
tial character in his senatorial fight, and
thus the eternal fitness of things is pre-
served.-M ontpelier Examiner.

The advancement of the great in

the chief aim OF the Weiser Signal.
A look backward over its files will
show this, and we are pleased to say
that these efforts are bearing good
fruit There are of course many
who are not in sympathy with our
political opinions, but even these
recognize the earnestness with which
we have advocated common interests
By reason Of these efforts, duly rec
ognized. the regular and legitimate
circulation of the Signal has phe
nomenslly increased Hundreds Of
copies have been demanded by the
outside world, anxious to know more
OF our resources. Individual inter-
ests may dull our mental vision, but
we can see no fairness in messy rul-

and official power exercised to cripple
and hinder the circulation of the one
iournat that can and does advertise
the wealth and wonders of Washing

detrimeut of every class of business,

THE FLAG RECORD.


So much is being written and said
these days about the flag-and that
wherever raised it is there to stay
that it may not be out of place to
recur to the old days and old times
when patriots instead OF plutocrats
ruled America and conducted mat
tiers of public policy or interest in a
manner that made pure principles
paramount to dollar-a very
marked difference, by the way, to
present conditions. Our first for
eign war was in 1905 when Major
William Eaton, United States consul
at Tunis, with a force Of American
sailors and marines marched from
Egypt across the desert and took the
town of Derne, raised the flag and
dictated a peace that was Il great adj
vantage to the United States-this
in the Jefferson administration. The
flag came down.
Again in 1912 during our war with
Great Britain the Bey Of Algiers de-
clared war against the United States
AS soon as our war with England was
terminated congress in turn declared
war on Algiers Ten American war
ships commanded by Commodore
Decatur were despatched to that coun-
try and soon after their arrival the
flag of the free fnated over the Moor
ish ctades The object of the war
was gained and tue flag was furled
and the victorious feet returned
home. Again in 1916, in Mexico,
our victorious army placed the flag
in all imp ,rtant cities from Monterey
to the CITY of Mexico and Vera Cruz
The victory won and peace concluded
the conquerers took down the flag
and brought it home in honor No
dolar on it So it seems that look
ing backward we can find a proceed
ent indicating that past American
policy was against conquest AS to
Expansion, look over the Immense
unoccupied domain Of this inter
mountain land with mighty rivers
running TO waste would suggest that
a government policy that would re-
claim arid regions, and people them,
would be fully of as much 'commer-
cial Importance as the acquisition,
at such terrible cost, of territory
many thousand miles away and in
habited by mongrel race that can
never become Americanized or appre.
ciate the simplest principle of Amer
lean government. But the dollar
sign is on the flag, though.
In the light of these historical
facts we find the Washington county
republican, following, Tin the recent
meeting at Cambridge upsetting the
past and present, and, soaring above
this humble sphere, resoluting like
this: "We favor the retention Of
all territory acquired by and through
the war with Spain, and avow as our
principle that our flag once raised
shall never be lowered in any land or
cline" That is not ridiculous, it is
simply sublime!

A PATHETIC PARTING.
Leave-Takins Between the BLIND
Chaplain of House Aad the Menu
bers of Congress-.

One OF the most pathetic scenes ever
witnessed at the capitol was the part.
ing Of the blind chaplain and the mem
bers Of congress the day of adjourn
ment. There ia scarcely man In the
house but who has formed an attach
ment for Chaplain Couden, and yet
not many frequenters of the capitol
know the cause Of his afliction. While
private during the civil war shell
burst near him. and the flying frag.
ments deprived him of his sight. A
story related Of the incident is that
while Chaplain Coudea was being car
ried from the field of battle some one
said: Poor fellow, he will never see
again; he might better be dead" He
repieds "Don't be too sure of that
boys, you may hear from me yet"
Since then, and ss chaplain of the
house, more than one Of the boys who
sat round the caMp Ere with him has
listened to his touching prayers from
his stand 1t the speakers desk, to
some reference t. the days when he
"soldiered With the boys" DR.. Coudeu
is not less q poet than an able scholar,
and one Of his greatest delights is to
compose and read verses Of his own
at q reunion Of his comrades. He is
by far the most popular chaplain the
house has ever had.

CUR1os FROM PHILIPPINES.
Several Tons Arrive at the National
Museum and Contain Many VAL
liable and InterestinR Articles.

Several tons of the Philippine curios
brought by the government from An
drew Giles, inspector of streets in Ma
Mia, have arrived at the national mu-
scum and are being handled prepara-
tory to repacling for the buffalo ex-
position. The collection is notable
one historically, containing among
other effects of Aguinaldo his clock
and candlesticks. 1t also represents
lands. There are some beautiful cos
tunes OF pima cloth; head dresses, pic
lures, maps, and specimens of pottery.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures at the present time is a col
lection of arms also trophies Of
warfare = consisting of cowhide
shields, swords and knives with curl
ous-shaped blades and highly orne-
mental handles. Many of these were
used by the fiery little Igorrotes, who
were so fierce to the Spanish, and who
have lavished such loving Kindness
upon our men at the front, carrying
them off the battlefields, dressing
their wounds and feeding them.
Many of the church decorations are
unique in the extreme, and are more
suggestive of ten-cent store at
Christmas time than a religious cere-
mony. In the collection is model Of
beautffully-carved bamboo house
set high upon richly ornamental piles
of the same wood. When the Buffalo
exposition is over the collection will
be arranged In the national museum.

The WhjrIigig Of Time,

There was a meeting at Memorial
hall in Chicago one day last week, the
meeting being called by the support
ers Of the administration. Numerous
speeches were made in support of ad-
ministration policies, and among the
speakers was General Joe Wheeler.
His speech receives the enthusiastic in
dorsement of such rock-ribbed repub-
lican organs as the Inter Ocean, and
that organ gives the approval to the
sentiment uttered by Wheeler that
"Some strong nation is bound to be
the ruling power of those people 1.-THE

These arguments that are made,
that the inferor race are to be treated

Will allow-what are these arguments?
Ihey are the arguments that kings
have made for enslaving the people in
all ages OF the world. You will find
that all the arguments of kingcraft
were OF this class; that they always

that they wanted to do it, but because
the people were better off for being

OF king, on excuse for enslaying the

their republicanism from Abraham
Lincoln like the change?
