Threats and Cajolery Will Not Influence
HIM IN Appointments.
Governor elect Geer is in full vigor
OF health, fresh from the inYigorating
air OF his Marion county ranch. To a
representative of The Portland Times
he chatted pleasantly Of old days and
scenes. OF the future he spoke with
that trepidation common to conscen-
tious men when about to assume great
duties. In substance Mr.. Geer said
III desire TO give the people OF the
state of Oregon an honest. capable ad-
ministration of the executive Office.
One would be surprised at the threats,
caiolery aud opportunities OF men of
high standing that are made upon me
daily to control the appointments at
my disposal aud to dictate my pollcy
as governor While am strong In my
Republicanlsm, believing thoroughly
ln the great tenets OF the party-pro.

mOney-and am classed in this respect
as partisan, am free from preju.
dice against the man who may differ
from me radically upon these Issues
This fact intend TO make especially
clear In such appointments OF non
partisan boards as IL may be neces-
sary for me TO make. In such case

Democratic and Populistic forces

"How about your backbone, goV-
ernor?" asked the reporter.
"No man ever doubted the quality OF
my backbone" was the reply. III rec
ognize the fact that backbone has
been the one essential quantity In an
executive officer that has always com
manded the respect OF he people, and
IL is right that 10 is so. The people
elect man TO be governor, and they
want him TO be governor. They will
forgive him errors Of Judgment II they
know he II faithfully working
accordingly as he sincerely
sees things -- but even then
IL he were more wise, more brilliant
and more adroit, the justly unpardon-
aoe ,lns is that someone else is the
power behind the throne-the real
governor, "I am proud OF Oregon"
continued Mr.. Geer. "A great state

night and they stated last evening that
the opposition was fast disIntegrating.
This. on the other hand, is denied by
those who will oppose annexation. Mr..
White said last evening that he could not
say when the debate would close. but GER
tainly not until tine subject had been
thoroughly discussed and many of the
Inaccurate statements and fallacious ar
guments" of the other side shown up. He
contends that not only is the proposition
to annex Hawaii useless. but that it is un-
constitutional and he will attempt to show
this in the argument he will make. The
question, he declares, is not at all analo-
gous to the Texas case. for in that case
Texas was admitted, clearly under the
constitutional right, to all the privileges
of statehood. while no such thing is
claimed in the case of Hawaii
Mr.. White contends that the only way
Hawaii can be annexed IS by treaty. and
that the Hawaiian government. under its
constitution, has the power only TO deal
with this subject by treaty. The treaty
| of annexation is now null and void. and
| Mr.. White insists that annexation cannot
be legally brought about through a mere
resolution, nor does he believe the Su-
| preme Court will uphold such a proceed
! ing. The California senator. aided by Mr..
| Pettigrew and several others, is prepared
for long siege and expects 20 defeat the
resolution.

The Case of piper FindInter.

A great deal of comment has been
caused in England by the fact that
Piper FlndIater, the hero Of Dargai, has
consented to appear at London music
hall As all the world knows, he was
shot through both legs at the storming
of Dargai Heights, and was obliged to
prop himself up against a rock while
he played the soul-stiI.ing air which
inspired that famous charge. For this
heroic behavior the English government
gave him the Victoria Cross and some
pretty speeches, and appears TO have
expected him to live on these for the
rest Of his natural life.
Piper Findlater, however thought
the matter over and decided that
although the glory of England may
have been sufficient inducement for his
original heroism. 1t was not incumbent
on him to starve TO death for the sake
OF that glory. So. like sensible man,
he went to work at one of the few
things he could still do TO earn money.
OF course, it would have been more pic
turesque for him TO wander about the
country in poverty, playing his pipes
for a few stray pennies here and there
By the time he was worn out in this
vasabond life. the English papers would
have gotten hold of the case, and gener-
Gus people would have made up purse,
SO that he could have spent his last
years comfortably dependent on char
| ity. But the thing which appears to
rankIe in the minds of the English edit
ors is that this hero is paid 800 a night,
or thereabouts, and is likely TO lay up a
very snug little sum for his old age,
without being beholden to anybody.
They would not have objected 50
much TO his playing the pipes for
money. If he only did not get so much
money. What is the use OF giving a
man a chance 10 distinguish himself in
the service of England if he is going to
be able to earn his bread by means of
| his glory. afterward? If this thing is
| allowed to go on, they will have ex-
viceroys Of India giving lecture courses,
! and renowned generals posing in dime
museums. Such dignitaries are now
content TO live on their regular half
pay. Why could not a mere piper do
the same?
The trouble with this sort of reason
face OF actual poverty. A man can sup
port an amount of dignity on several
thousand dollars a year which would

AN OFF DAY IN THE SENATE.
Thirty Pension Bills Passed and u
Brink BILL Considered

Yesterday was an off day in the Sen
ate, the major portion of the time being
consumed in the consideration of the bill
to establish the International American
Bank, but no conclusion was reached
The early part of the session was de-
voted to the consideration of private pen
sion bills, the thirty measures on the
calendar being disposed of in less than
half an hour. the Senate maintaining its
usual record Of passing these bills after
they have been reported from the com
mittee at the rate of one a minute. Among
the bills passed yesterday was one in
creasing the pension of the widow OF the
late Rear Admiral Skerrett from SO to so
a month.
A bill reported from the military COM
mittee was passed which will do much to
simplify matters in the various military
camps IL is intended 10 bring about the
better administration Of justice and pro-
yfdes for summary courts martial in gar
risons, posts, forts and regiments where
the offenses are of minor Importance and
where the penalty does not exceed one
months confinement the loss Of more
than one months pay, or the reduction TO
the ranks IN the case OF non-cOmmissiOn-
ed officers
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina
made speech of about one hour in COM
mendation of the high prOtectice policy
of the Republican party. The results of
this policy from his point Of view were
gratifying and justified the belief that
the principles of protection would In the
future receive the sanction OF thes ma
jOrity OF the voters of his State Mr.
Pritchard pFophesied that under the Ad-
mfnistration OF Mr.. Mckinley there would
be prosperous future. not only for his
State, but the entire South.
At o'clock the bill to establish the in
ternatiOnal American Bank was taken
up, the question being upon the amend
ment of Mr. Pettus 10 limit the amount
of interest TO be charged not TO exceed
six per cent. Mr. Mallory offered an
amendment granting similar rights TO any
corporation that sought 10 take advan-
tage Of the privileges offered under this
bill and il was agreed to. Mr. Pettus
withdrew his amendment and offered an
other limiting the amount OF interest 10
| be charged 10 the legal rate established
in the State or country in which the bank
| was located and this was agreed to-.
