The dissatisfaction, IN the laborine
world, with present prosperity, has
brought forth startling number OF
strikes. The dispatches of April
announce 26 distinct strikes now 90
ing on and effectlng localities all
over the country from Vancouver to
New York. The disaffected trades
include grocers, butchers, bakers,
coal miners, painters, paper hangers,
masons, plasterers, plumbers, tin
ncrs, wagon makers, decorators,
glass blowers, brewers, trainmen, car
penters, iron workers and other labor
ers. Thousands of men are out. In
New York City there are 20, 1000 on a
strike for 8 hours of labor-they
should come to Idaho and vote the
republican ticket to get that.

ANNIVERSARY THOUGHTS.

1t has been year, the first of this
month, since the Signal was changed
into a twice-a-week publication, and
has been year replete with satisfac
tion to the paper as to the attraction
between itself and the people of
Washington county-if not finan-
cially. For twenty years the county
had been blessed with one or more
weekly papers, and it seemed to the
Signal that the time had come for
m advance, that we as a community
we're moving along a little in spite of
ourselves and 1t was proper to pub.
lish the newspaper record of our To-
cal life and hopes oftener than ev.
cry seven days in order that the
humble news production, as our field
and the disposition of the people
enabled us to give it, might be fresh
or, more timely and more in keeping
with the hour of our progress. So
1t was that the Signal was launched
upon new lines of publication-an
experiment, a blind venture. Its
zeal was soon after rewarded with a
decided decrease in patronage from a
large part OF the business interests
which it most faithfully served and
70 which its existence has always
been OF more Importance than has
possibly, been realized. From a
financial standpoint, sometimes, it
seemed that grave mistake had
been made in departing from the old
familiar rut and time worn system
that Weiser was not ready for any,
thing but the regulation little country
product so common to young or slow
localities. But stiff upper lip was
preserved and the path marked out
was pursued as closely as possible.
feeling that our faith would be well
founded finally. But among the
people, that is where the Signal won
Its way. Tire reader at once vel
coined the semi-weekly and took it
into favor and every day the bond
between itself and the public
strengthened. Its list of home read

Bill JinkinS Talks.
Sage Creek, Mch. &c, 'Oa

| Mn. NlGNAL EDITOR.-
Bill Jinkins entertained an audi
ence of loafers yesterday in front of
Whites store, with his views on
Rockefellers philanthropy, which
will try to report verbatim -
We could all afford to be philan-
thropists if il didn't cost us any,
thing and we were doubling our
money at the same time. It's like
taking as much as you want from the
whole people and giving back as little
as you like to few individuals in
order to educate them to your way of
thinking. Now let me give you an
illustration to show how this works :;
now suppose that Padget here had q
corner on the hog market, of course
he don't own but two and he don't
dare to make that public, but sup
pose he owned all the hogs within a
radius of hundred miles. OF course
that would give him the upper hand
for at least fifty miles around. Now
Padget concludes that he don't want
to die and be forgotten in three DAYS
like an ordinary congressman so he
plans to build church to commem-
crate his name to future generations.
Milford a hard working neighbor
comes in to make bargain for his
winter meat. 'sGood morning, Mr.
Padget," says he, what's the price of
hogs this morning?"
They're worth five cents, saws
Padget, but as have decided to
build an Episcopal church to be re-
membered by, l am charging seven
cents pound. ""This is an outrage. y
says Milford" I'm Methodist and I
don't propose to subscribe to cause
which l believe to be an abomination
in the sight of the Lord. " eff l
harbored religious prejudice during
business hours" says Padget, 81
should be offended at your remarks.
but then of course you are at liberty to
get your hogs elsewhere. "Else.
where" says Milford, sthere isn't a
hog to be had this side of Grand
Ronde, and 'twould cost eight cents to
get it here. "-"Well," says, Padget
you have a choice between three
things and that's more than most
people have; you can have them from
me for z cents, you can get them
from Oregon for 8 cents or you can
DO without meat" and ninety-nine to
one Padget would make the sale. Tn
short time he would have enough
to build two or three churches bu he |
only builds one and pockets the bal
ance. He builds an imposing struc-
ture OF granite, with spires lingering
the stars, and over the door in large
gilt letters in bold relief we would
read, IS THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD. Then in larger brighter letters
TO THE MEMORY OF
BILL PADGET. And it wouldn't cost
Padget cent-not red. It's Mil
ford and you and that built the

sities, SO that people may be educat-

advancement Of medical science. the
kidneys, the organs of the greatest inn
poitauce to human health, have not
been neglected, and in placing before

the the proprietors recognize how far
so many of statements of the makers of

isteuce equals Doan's Kidney Pills for
such ailments; strengthened in these
convictions by letters that are daily re-
ceived Of the work they are doing for
mankind's benefit, old backs and young
backs are being constantly freed from
never-ceasing aches, and many lame

tracted. is strengthened invigorated

a friend that assists us in the sale Of
many others.

STATE AUDITOR BILL.
Governor May Not Approve Measures
Increasing Powers.

The bill passed late in the session Of
the recent General Assembly, increas-
ing the powers of the State Auditor Of
Accounts, and charging his salary,
may not become law, by reason of
the Governors refusal to attach his
signature. 1t is said that the reason of
the Governors refusal to sign the bill
is because the Legislature passed bills
increasing the salaries of various State
officials, and provides for expert ac-
counts, to examine all State books each
year
The bill in question provides that the
State Auditor shall atfiX his signature
to all State warrants. His salary is in
creased $500, and an additional clerk at
a salary of $500, is provided, together
with contingent fund of $500, in pay
ment of the extra duties. These duties
include the auditing of returns from
the Secretary OF State. clerks of the
peace of the various counties, sherifts
and other officers having other busi-
ness with the people in return for fees.
All these returns are made bi-mOnthly,
by itemized bills in duplicate and show
the exact standing Of the transactions
during the periods.
If at any time the State Treasurer
and State Auditor should disagree over
the pavment of State funds, either i'll
or out of the treasury, according to the
terms of the bill, the chancellor shall
be called in as the final arbiter of the
matter.
