THE NIGHT ATTACK.

1.-The strain OF the night fighting and
the heavy details for outpost duty
made il imperative to reinforce Gen.
eral Greene's troops with General Mac
Al taur's brigade, which had arrived in
transports on the 51st of July. The
difficulties of this operation can hardly
be c"er estimated.
The TRANSPORTS were at anchor off
Cavite, five miles from a point on the
peach where It was desired to diSem-
bark the men. Several squalls, ac-
companied by floods of rain, ragged day
after day and the only way to get the
troops and supplies ashore was TO load
them from the ships side into native
lighters, called cascos, or small steam
boats, move them to a point opposite
the camp and then disenbark them
through the surf in small boats or by
running the lighters head on the
beach. The landing was finally ac-
comDlished, after days of hard work
and hardship, and I desire here to eX-
press again my admiration for the
fortituGe and cheerful willingness of
the men of all commands engaged in
this operation.
Upon the assembly of MacArthur's
brigade in support of Greene, 1 had
about $500 men in position to attack,
and 7 deemed the time had come for
final action. During the time of the
night attacks l had communicated my
desire to Admiral Dewey that he
would allow his ships 30 ooen fire on
the right of the Spanish line of in
trenchments, believing that such &C
ton would stop the night firing and
loss Of life, but the admiral had de-
clined TO order il unless we were il
danger of losing our position by the
assaults of the Spanish, with the
reason that, in his osDinion, it would
precipitate a general engagement, for
which he was not ready.
Now, however, the brigade of Cen
cral Macarthur was in position and the
Monterey had arrived, and under date
of Aug. 8, Admiral Dewey agreed to
my suggestion that we should send a
Joint letter to the captain general.

to the time-hoHored principles OF DEM
ocracy as enunciated IN the Chicago
platform, and so ably defended by VIII
liam J. Bryan, and further express the
unqualified devotion TO the cause of
free silver.
I'VE point to the progressive and
economical administration of the state
affairs under the guidance of Governor
Steunenberg, as proof positive Of the
ability and determination of the DEM
ocrats to carry out their platforms and
pledges to the people.
I'VE point to the administration of
the county affairs as being one of econ

the present board of commissioners in
their efforts to eradicate the squirrel
pest, and pledge our nominees for COM
miSSionerS to further the work thus be-
gun, in the most expeditions manner.
I'VE emphatically protest against the
bringing of large numbers of foreign
owned stock into this county or state to
devour the ranges, to the detriment of
the taxpayers of Idaho, and we pledge
our nominees for the legislature to
make determined effort to afford the
people of this state imperative relief
from this source of annoyance and alb
solute injury.
I'VE further pledge all nominees of
this convention sene1 ally to an econom-
ical and progressive administration of
all county affairs.
''And. further. we cordially invite the
women voters of this COUNTY to assist
US as far as they may in carrying out

Silver Rayine Contract.

Engineer Thompson said that it is
inadvisable at this time to put in
some of the stone work on the Silver
raYine road, owing to the settling
through the recent rains. This work
should be deferred. 1t would be well
to close up D. P. Hayes contract, OF
make another contract.
Aid. Bradley moved that Mr.. Hayes
be paid for what he has done and
that he be released from doing the
outer stone work,
Mr.. Hayes stated that he was will
ing to be paid for what he has done
and to do the balance of the work in
the fall, but he wanted to be released
from his contract, as there might be a
landslide that he would not care to
be held responsible for and have to
clear up.
A motion to carry out this under
standing was carried, Mr.. Hayes to
have the first chance to complete the
work in the fall.
The bills were allowed, footing up
to S5,OOO.O1. and the committee on
ways and means, was authorized to
borrow 5000 to pay the bills.

paying it's laborers enough, IN pro-
portion to the cost of living, which
has gone up. Oats, wheat, potat0es,
flour and other articles, have advanc-
ed. II is the duty of the coun-
Gil to protect the laborers. The
price Of S1.25 a day is not enough to
sustain them. He moved that the
city employees be paid $3.50 a day,
and men with teams $3.50. Some
laborers are not worth that much,
and he wanted it fixed so that 1t
would be left discretionary in the
case of poor men,
Aid. Zimmerman said that he did
not think that the council should Tx
the wages for the stone quarries.
Men would rather work for the city
for $3.50 day than for the stone
quarrymen. Some Of the men en-
ployed by the city are old and are
given employment for time to help
them along. The matter Of wages
should be left with the board of
public works to use their discretion
Inspector Halstead stated that the
best men are being paid 81. 80 day,
Others 81. 40 and others S1.25. They
were being paid according to their
worth.
Aid. Bradley said that we all know
that wages are too low with present
prices. Other cities have raised
wages, and why should not Mankato
do the same? The money is all spent
in Mankato.
Aid. Zimmerman said that he had
no objection to paying men s1.5o a
day if they earn it. Some men will
earn this, while others will not earn
Is cents day.
Aid. Bradley said that if a man
could not earn the money paid him he
should be expelled from the city
employ.
Aid. Bradley changed his motion so
as to fix the wages as suggested,
subject to the discretion Of
the board of public works, and it was
then carried without opposition.
Cherry street from Front to Min
nesota street was added to the
sprinkling district.
Aid. Fritz said that there had been
complaints that not enough water is
being used on the streets, allowing
the dust to blow.
Aids. Bradley and Zimmerman said
that there is complaint that too much
water is being used.
Engineer Thompson said that
where Front street has been cleaned
and rolled it takes more water to keep
down the dust.
Aid. Zimmerman moved that
Locust street be put down to grade
and completed as soon as the assess
ments are paid. The motion was
carried.
