ability to dictate a legislative policy,

Z Asst week the people in Vermont
and in Arkansas went to the
polls. Both states elected a full
corps of state officers. Maine is the
third September state; its state election
was held yesterday; the election in
cluded state officers. four congressman
and. as in Arkansas and Vermont, a
legislature. The only other state to
vote before November s is Georgia,
which holds its state election Oc-
tober 5.
The election in all these states is
practically without great significance
as an indication Of prevailing popular
sentiment on questions of national sig
nificance. Arkansas offsets Vermont;
Georgia will offset Maine. II is true
that the vote in Arkansas was light.
compared with that of 1S96-that is
easily accounted for. 1t is also true
that the democrats made gains i'm
their membership in the Vermont leg

At least, that is the view the gold
element would like the public to take
of the result in Vermont. 1t is to be
remembered, however, that in that
state democracy wen squarely on rec

Information from all sections is TO

and the news from the capital is that
the management Is meeting with far
greater encouragement than il had
anticipated. As was the Ease last year.
the fair is to be the great Idaho event
of the year, but this fall the exposi-
ton n the programme of sports
will entirely eclipse the effort Of a year
ago.
The ladies are taking a very active
part, and the household department
promises to be very attractive.
The fruit exhibit last year was the
wonder of the fair. but the horticul-
turists declare 1t will be far exceeded
this fall. Visitors a year ago declared
they had never expected to see such a
display anywhere.
The prospects for specially fine pro-
grammes for races grow brighter and
brighter. There will be more horses
than originally anticipated, and they
will embrace much of the best racing
stock of the Northwest.

Empress Elizabeth was. in her palmy
days, a woman Justly renowned for her

romance. A marriage of the emperor
with the elder sister Of Elizabeth had
been arranged, in accordance with royal
methods. and the young Austrian mon
arch had arrived. in Bavaria, at the
castle Of his future father-in-law for the
official betrothal. There he fell in love

A LETTER FROM MANILA.
Dewey wouldn't Let the m Fool
With Him.

Dewey Wouldn't Let the Germans Fool
With Him.
John f. English of his city has re-
English. who is with Company f of the
Oregon volunteers in the Philippines. He
gives an interesting description of the
trip across. Private English was with
the first expedition and was with the
Charleston when the Ladrones were
captured. Speaking of the capture he
says:
THE Charleston preceded us into the
harbor and fired Is shots at the fort,
but did not receive any fire in return.
The health officer and captain of the
port came out in a small boat and asked
the captain about his health report. Cap
tain Glass told them to come aboard,
which they did. They told him hat they
were sorry that they had not answered
his salute sooner. but would as soon as
they went ashore. Captain Glass old
them not to be fooled; that Spain and
the United States were at war and that
he had received orders to capture the
Ladrone islands. When he told them
that they must consider themselves pris-
oners of war they threw up their hands
in horror.
I'VE took all the Spaniards prisoners
and disarmed the native troops and
turned them loose. They were delight
ed to get away from the Spaniards and
tore the Spanish buttons from their uni
forms and threw them away.
I'VE came in sight of the island of
Luzon on June 2S. We were met by the
Baltimore and she preceded us through
the strait into the China sea. where we
had the first rough weather we a
experienced on the trip across. We en-
tered Manila bay on the Both and came
to anchor with Dewey's famous fleet at
Cavite. There a wonderful sight met
our eyes. We could see sunken ships
Of war all around Point Cavite, with rig
ging and ppe decks only above the
water. They were sad looking objects
and reminded us of the pictures we had
seen of the poor sunken Maine.
The Oregon boys were landed first,
so 1 can say that the 2nd oregon volun-
teers were the first United States SOL
diers to land on Spanish soil, except, of
course, the marines from Dewey's fleet.
We took up u quarters in the old
Spanish garrison. The quarters are very
comfortable and are over a hundred
wears old. . . . > . . .
Germany has a large fleet of war
ships here, but Dewey could put them
out of business in short order, and he
does not allow them to fool with him,
not a little bit. They tried to signal to
the Spaniards. but Dewey stopped that
in a hurry. The Germans also interfered
with an insurgent gunboat which Dewey
had sent to capture some Spanish
works on a small island near here.
Dewey sent a couple Of u ~gunboats
over there and the German ship cut her
cable and got away in a hurry. Dewey
then told the German admiral that he
did not know that war existed between
the United States and Germany, and If
it did he wanted to know it,, Since then
they have kept their noses out of it,"

From the Livingston Post.
A man who will vote the goldbug ticket
In Montana is absolutely proof against
argument. There are some things which
are better left undone. One of them is at
tempting to convince. argue or reason
with an individual who has taken Tom
Carter's little liver pills, or who has been
filled with political embalming fluid Of
the Mark Hanna brand. These remedies
induce a sort of political ossiication and
their constant use has transformed the
