RIOT CASES DISMISSED.

After several postponements the mayor
yesterday finally got the riot cases to a
trial. But it was found absolutely impossi-
BILE to prove anything definitely, other
than that it was pretty bad affair, one
white man and half dozen negroes
shooting and everybody else throwing
rocks. Nobody could be found to
identify any person who was doing either
of these things or anything else that was
against law and order. So the riot cases
were dropped from the docket and it is
to be helped the whole affair is at an
end.

Synopsis of the Weather.-The storm
has finally passed off the New England
coast. Light rains occurred yesterday in
the east from Wilmington to Boston,
but by 8 p. M, last night the weather
had cleared, even along the coast. Fri
day was fine, clear day throughout the
entire central valley and west, though
unpleasantly warm west of the Mississ-
ippi river.
The pressure has fallen in the north
west to below 296 inches and the inflow
of air from the south has caused con-
siderable rise in temperature. Maximum
temperatures of 90 or above occurred
yesterday at Pensacola, Montgomery.
Palestine and Oklahoma, and at Dodge
City where frost has already occurred
this season, there was a maximum Of
SO degrees.

other president before or since. He
proved himself a thinker as well as a
fighter. Not a particle of lingo buster
disgraced his state papers. II he spoke
sharply to France. France paid the
money she had long owed His vigor-
Gus patriotism was behind the brave
sailors who humbled the pirates Of
Quallah Battor. No personal griev-
ance or national prejudice blinded him
to the fact that our relations with
Great Britain ought to be peaceful.
Recognizing his own lack of early
scholastic training, Jackson hit on the
golden mean. He used the graceful pen
Of Edward Livingston, but his own
massive force was behind the phrases
of the polished lawyer Jackson was
no figurehead, who trusts everything
to a secretary. Highly as he valued
Livingston, he used him as Washing
ton had used Hamilton or as Sir Will
liam Temple had used Jonathan Swift,
Keenly as he felt his deficiencies, jack
son never forgot his strength. The cry
that jackson was ignorant is never re-
peated by any one who has read his
letter to DR.. Colman, and the letter is
evidently Jackson's own. 1t is the
classic Of protection; the ablest, the
most lucid, the most condensed argu-
ment that has ever been put forth on
that side of the question. On the whole,
we may conclude that the soldier who
defeated Welllngton's veterans had
studied the art of war, and that no
man could pass seven years as a prose-
cutor and six years on the bench with
out gaining some insight into laws.
The politician who rose in spite of
Madison and jefferson, who swept be-
fore him Clay and Adams, who over
matched Webster and Calhoun, who
held the friendship of Livingston and
won back the regard of Benton must
have learned something of public life.
Andrew Jackson was not an ignor-
anus. He lacked the official training
of John Quincy Adams and James Bu-
chanan, but, as Burke says, when the
high roads are broken up and the
waters out, when new and troubled
scene is opened, and the file affords no
precedent, then it is that a greater
knowledge of mankind and far more
extensive comprehension of things is
requisite than every office gave or than
office can ever give" jackson has
studied in the hard school which trains
it's pupils for the broken high roads
and the rushing waters.

cape for sale in one of the shops. IF
a sale of them ever occurs, the pur-
chaser is undoubtedly one who con-
templates a trip North Most of the
women who appear on the streets in
the daytime hood their faces with
black lace scarfs and use fans to pro-
tect their faces from the sun. Fre-
Quently you see young women walking
together dressed exactly alike. This is
so frequent as to be noticeable to
strangers. On a Sunday afternoon /
noticed in front of a fashionable resi-
dence five women, probably members
of the same family, all gowned pre-
cisely alike, in a heliotrope colored
fabric. 1t was suggested that the head
of the family was pleased with the
goods and bought a whole piece. Very
few OF the women are pretty, accord
ing to the American standard of
beauty. They age early and rapidly
and resort to cosmetics and powders
to continue their youthful looks long
after their beauty, IL they ever had
any, has passed away
A HAVANA HOTEL.
The Hotel Inglaterra is considered a
satisfied with the cooking and general
conduct of the dining room if in the
United States. There is scarcely any
variation of the menu from meal to
meal and day to day. 1t is printed in
both Spanish and English, but as the
walters cannot understand the Eng
l'sh part of it, you are hopelessly lost
Il you undertake to give them an or
der. But ! started to tell you about
the bedroom. 1t is very roomy and at
least twenty feet high. Broad wooden
blinds open out on an iron balcony.
Iron bars perpendicularly placed
make access to your room from the
outside impossible. The floor is mar
BILE and the walls are covered with
a heavy dark paper of Moorish de-
sign. A half circle of colored glasses
over your window makes very beau
tiful rainbow effect on the marble floor
when the sun shines into the room.
The beds are a pretty picture to look
at. The bedsteads are brass, with a
symmetrically curved mosquito canopy
tastefully draped to protect the sleeper
from those musical pests, which do
business every month in the year. The
picture is somewhat dispeled when
you discover there is nothing between
you and a very flexible wire mattress
except one thin quilt and a sheet. The
effect is something like getting into a
hammock. Another popularity of the
room is that the partition which sep
arates you from the adjoining room
reaches only eight or nine feet from
the floor, and by standing on a chair,
if inclined, you can look in on your
neghbors. We distinctly heard the
voices of two feminines in liquid Span

NO DOGS.

One might imagine that everybody in
Havana was rich, as there is an utter
absence of dogs, which cannot be ac-
counted for by lack of poverty. With
out asking for an explanation, one may
conclude that they have gone with the
reconcentrados. The bicycle fad doesn't
seem to have taken hold of the Ha-
Vanese. / saw but two bicycles on the
streets and those were on the outskirts
of the city where there was a little
patch of concrete pavement. There are
very few streets in Havana where it
would be a pleasure to ride wheel.
The business portion is paved with
block granite in very good condition.
The roads in the suburbs are execra-
BILE. The faVorite drive is on the beach
road, but there Is very little PLEASURE
in driving-the road is so full of ruts
and depressions that carriage springs
are severely tested. The condition of
the streets and the almost entire alb
sence of country roads is probably the
excuse for not indulging in bicycling.
There are few lines of street cars
with mules for motive power. The
charge is ten cents, and travel by this
method is naturally somewhat re-
stricted When the war is over there
ought to be a grand opportunity for
enterprislng Americans to put in a
first-cass trolley system with scent
fares The faVorite means of trans
portation in the city is by their one
horse Victorlas, Of which there are
thousands, and they viii carry two per-
sons from one point to another within
the city limits for a pesta, or 20 cents
of their money, equal in value to IL
cents United States currency, This is
about the only cheap article in Havana
WOMEN'S COSTUMES.
A casual observer would say there
was very little difference between the
gowns and costumes of the Havanese
ladies and those seen i'm the large cities
of the United States or Europe. They
catch on to the prevailing fashions
without much delay and adopt them to
the extent of their purses. One does
not see seal cloaks or other furs on
the streets even In the winter months,
when the temperature is between 70
and so degrees. although l saw one fur

FIGHTING SAVAGES.

The course pursued by Jackson in
Florida was stern and arbitrary. 1t
caused a fierce debate in congress; il
gave birth to endless documents; it
threatened third war with Great Brit
ain. Yet no one who has any knowI-
edge of savage outrages will blame the
man who suppressed them in a way the
fiercest Indian and the most treacher-
GUS Spaniard could not fail to under
stand Red scoundrels had burned
cabins and murdered little children.
Spanish officials had encouraged them.
British subjects had abetted their
crimes and then pleaded foreign citi-
zenship as protection. Jackson dealt
with the criminals as a naval COM
mander would have dealt with a gang
of pirates. The hanging of British sub
Jects or any other subjects was a mere
incident in his plans. He remembered
the day when no girl in Tennessee
dared go to pick blackberries without
a male escort armed with a deadly
rifle. The friends of his youth had lost
relatives in Indian massacres. He had
nearly perished the night his quick ear
heard the savages hooting like owls in
calling each other TO the war path.
After a great deal of talk Jackson's
course was upheld by our own govern
ment, and John Bull settled down in
the belief that the men who encourage
savage warfare must take the conse-
quences.

you want them. Half-clad men, wo-

There is a considerable absence of

he showed ne the cuts on his head.

Things Seen and Heard There by n
Traveller from the States--Guard
Mount on the PradO.-COstumes of

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
The one predomnating element in
Havana at the present time is the SOL
diery. The streets are literally filled
with uniformed men and youth. The
averaged Spanish officers or soldiers
would not impress an American favor
ably. AS a rule they are not we'll set
up and they are generally understood.
They all lack the West Point cut which
is so much admired by Americans.
They may understand the theory and
practice of war, but the true martial
ardor does not seem to reach down into
their backbone and legs. None of the
officers would ever be accused of wear
ing corsets, as some of our fledglings
in the military service are. The uni
form of officers and men seems to be
of the same material--a fine green and
white stripe gingham or some similar
fabric for both coat and trousers. The
officers wear a few gilt stars on their
coat sleeves and white canvas cap;
the enlisted men a Panama straw hat,
with one side folded up and fastened
with a roSette.

THE UNION IN PORTLAND,

Hon. VIII r. King and Hon. r.
SOvereign spoke in Portland Saturday
night To the largest crowd that ever
assembled at 3 political meeting IN a

five hundred people present, and the
meeting was a grand success. The

sided over the Fusion rally last nigi I

ted a crowd composed largely of wom-
en. The Columbia Democratic Club

were made by W. r. King aud J. r.

Now to tell the truth, the Union
candidate for governor a0d the great
labor leader spoke there 10 one OF the
largest and grandeSt meetings that
was ever assembled in that city.
There were fully twenty-five hundred
people present, composed largely Of
voters. The OregOnian in its desire
to suppress the news, made the above
slight mention OF this grand meeting,
in accord With the teachings Of that
sheet, for its whole aim aud ambition
is TO publish something that is mis-
leading or else entirely suppress tina,
which would be Of Interest TO tn e
people. Madame NUrelli opened the
meeting with a song 10 her accustomed
patriotic manner. Seneca Smith,
chairman Of the Silver Republi
can Party then Introduced Hon. viii
r KiEg, the next governor Of Oregon.
Mr.. King spoke 10 his usual pleasant
aud logical manner for half an hour,
Mr. Sovereign then entertained the
audience for an hour aud thirty min
utes giving vent TO his grand elOquence
until the hall rang viii one continual
roar Of applause. When such meet
ing as this is overlooked ny the subsi
died press, there is certainly fear and
trembling in their ranks. Should
they publish correct account II this
meeting the readers Of their paper
might know Of the success attending

VOTE UNION

There is one misleading feature on
the prepared ballot, aud that is the
ambiguity that the name Regular
Peoples" is liable TO cause among the
voters. This is apt to confuse the
people into believing that this is
the Union ticket, and We must guard
against it.
All should clearly understand and
bear in mind that the words reg
ular Peoples" on the ballot designates
the candidates nominated by the
Middle-of-the-road Populists, which
is an organization working in the in
terest of the gold standard Republi-
can ticket, and a vote for tie Reg
ular Peoples" candidate means one
half vote for the Republican can
dldates. Do not fail to make this
understood 10 every precinct and see
that it is announced at all your pub
lie meetings. Vote for the "Peoples
Democratic, Silver Republican" can
didates. The object OF using the des-
ignation Regular Peoples" is TO de-
ceive the people into believing that
the candidates so designated are the
nominees of the Peoples Party, All
the candidates of the Peoples Party
are designated as Peoples, Demo
cratic, Silver Republicans" Victory
is certain If this and other frauds are
prevented.
