Hop, skip and Jump.

The election in Blackfoot, Tuesday,
stands without a parallel in the histo-
~ OF the town. The number of indie
pendent voters skipped from party
men to party men has never been
equalled.
1t was not uncommon for voter to
cast his vote for one or more men on
each Of the four tickets; not uncom-
mon for him to start with the candI-
date for congress of one party and
follow with the governor of another.
In several instances it was sort of

Bunting was the only candidate or
the State ticket who was not forgotten
at some time during the day. His
name was rarely overlooked OF skip.
ped. The endorsement given him by
the vote OF his home people was 8
higher compliment than is usually
paid men in the race for Office.
The reason for this irregular method
OF voting is not known, but it is fac
that there were fewer straight tickets
voted from top to bottom, than were
ever known before on one election
day in Blackfoot.

Cattle Shot Down.

The Payette Independent says !:
"Mr. Pence returned from Long Val
ley with his cattle Monday evening.
Upon arriving at the point where his
cattle were being held he found the
report 10 be true that 81 head been
driven into a small corral under the
cover of darkness and shot down
Why such a deed should have been
committed, Mr.. Pence in unable to
understand. He has many warm
friends amongst the best people of
that valley, and while other cattle
men have had some trouble with the
settlers, he had been shown nothing
but fair treatment, until the perpetra-
tion of this crime that is a disgrace
to Idaho. Doubtless the law abiding
citizens of Long Valley deprecate the
act as much as any people could; and
they should spare no effort to rid their
community of an element that has
dared to trample upon the laws, there
by working an injury not only to the
man whose cattle they slaughtered
but to the people of that entire section.

il has never been tested before.
The industrial forces of Asia and
America are now crossing bayOnets in
the air above us. Our living children
will see, within fifty years. gigantic
contest FIR the supremacy OF the Pacl-
fic between the innumerable hosts,
under the flags of the Dragon and the
Crysanthemum, moving eastward, and
the skilled forces, under the Stars and
Stripes, moving westward, equipped
with the cunning Of hundred years
of invention. Lines of watchiul bat
tleships will flank both forces, and
statesmen and fighting men of all
nations will watch, with breathless
interest, this spot, this key of the
position, around which will, if there
be any philosophy in history, finally
rage the most intense Industrial, and
in the end, probably, the greatest
military conflict the world has ever
seen.
On the political OCEAN, the towering
icebergs of American civilization are
slowly moving westward from the
continent. On the 9th r hand, tower
ing icebergs of Asiatic civilization are
gradually floating eastward. And
here they will meet. You can even
now feel their chilly air, and hear
the distant grinding motion of
these vast forces as they move down
towards each other while our little
ship of State will lie like a cookie
shell between them.
Simon Bolivar, the great Liberator
of South America, said, after thirty
years of political life that, republics
could not exist in the tropics. Let US
contradict. with reverence, this apos-
tie of Liberty. He should have said
that no race, capable of maintaining a
republican form of government, had
yet appeared in the tropics. But the
human race is in its infancy The
morning stars a'e yet singing over 1t.
1t is presumptuous ignorance to de-
clare the possibilities. IL is possible
for the Anglo Saxon and his allies,
with the best thought of civilization
behind them, and trained in the best
use of political machinery, t0 prove
that republics may exist and flourish
in the tropics. They may demonstrate
to the world, that they can hold the
supreme power, at first, for the good
Of all, and gradually educate, and
lead the men of other races, up to

J. b. Castle was next introduced,
and said that the paper he was going

follows:

The IlSth anniversary of the Dec

United States was marked, besides
the one great event of the day, the
forming of the Republic, by enthusi-
astic ceremonies at J. \. Wrights
place, Little Britain. At half alter
ten. the hour set for the literary exer-
cises to commence, the large pavilion
was filled with those who came to
celebrate the day in the good old way,
by listening to patriotic speeches, and
bearing the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, one of, if not the grandest of
the worlds documents, read.
The pavilion had been gaily deeora-
ted with American flags and with
ferns. On the platform were Presi-

Walker, Captain Barker, Captain
Cochrane, J. B Atherton, z. G.
