SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS.

Since our last Saturday night thoughts
the state Legislature. has convened and
lonesome business. Like thelstate legisla
ture in Oregon in the past it has already
done things to cause people to talk. 1.
maKes one think sometimes that the lev.
el headed men do not go to Salem from
up and down the Columbia and from
Southern Oregon. We refer to those sec
tions OF the state where our subscription
lists are limited. Instead of taking
things easy they seem to wish to pass
lave on every imaginable subject and

another oysteIF, another trout, anothe
crawfisn, another sturgeon aud another
salmon. And then there are no end 4
special bills affecting only small section
besides bills innumerable for all kind

manding an Army?
Everything in a campaign depends
upon the general in command, upon his
GOODNESS, resourcefulness and rapidity
of glance. He may be man who dis
likes correspondents, dislike they are
certain to return, and he feels therefore
rs if he were perpetually watched in
the sravest crises by personal enemies,
a feeling which would have been fatal
to Marlborough or Eugene of Savoy, the
two commanders most remarkable for
immovable sang froid. Everybody is
not born with the advertising spirit,
and there are insects which under a
burning glass feel torture instead of
that enjoyment of warmth which the
operator maintains they ought to feel.
Imagine the condition of general like
Frederick the Great, whose main bust
ness during three years of his campaign
ing life was to repair defeat, with so
correspondents in his camp reporting
every disaster. every preparation and
every execution of the incompetent or
the unruly!
1t would be maddening to such
general to know that the distribution of
blame or fame did not depend upon
himself, but would be taken out of his
hands by writers not under his COM
mand, who would declare that an attack
like that on Speicheren, which almost
cost an army corps. was superb be-
cause it succeeded, or that the perhaps
best general in the army was habitual-
ly a little late in issuing his commands.
We do most seriously believe that there
are officers of the highest merit in the
British army from whom the country
will never obtain the best service they
are capable of performing because of the
multitude of reporters in the camps.
That is a thought which those who are
responsible for armies are bound to
ponder, and, knowing as they do its
truth, we do not wonder that they
doubt whether to interest the readers OF
newspapers is an advantage sufficient
to outweigh SO many risks.-London

PENSION COMPLAINTS
g. A. r. Committee Said to Have
Concluded That Many of
Them Are Unfounded.
INQUIRY INTO THE BUREAU ENDED.

| comnittee Has a Conference with the
President on the General Subject OF
Pensions and Their Payment-InternaI
Revenue People Looking Around for
More Things from which to Raise Reve-
nueAA Few That Have Been Suggested.
Washington, July 14.-The pension
committee of the G. a. r. finished its
inquiry here yesterday afternoon and
most of its members left the city last
night. The committee has been here
three days, and during most of the
time has been accompanied by senior
Commanderin-Chief Johnson. Com
missioner of Pensions Evans and a
corps of the most experienced employees
of the bureau have given the most
thorough cooperation to the commit
tee, placing themselves and all the Of
fetal files at its disposal. Headed by
Chairman Brown the committee called
at the White House yesterday and for
an hour and half was engaged in con-
ference with President Mckinley. Dur
ing that time it threshed over the
whole pension policy, the discussion
covering the laws governing the sys-
tenn, the rulings made both by the in
terror department and the pension bu-
reau for their execution, and changes
desired in the interest of the govern
ment and of the pensioners.
President Freely Expressed Himself
The president paid unusual attention
to the delegation, and gave free ex-
preston to his views on the subject.
Later the body returned to the pension
bureau, where 1t spent most of tha
afternoon talking over matters in
formally with the commissioner. ALI
the soldiers widows employed in the
office were called together to meet the
committee, before whom they passed
in line and exchanged friendly saluta-
lions. Late in the afternoon final
meeting of the committee was held in
the hotel quarters, when individual
views and recommendations were pre-
sented and an informal consultation
held as to the nature of the report to
be made. This document will be pre-
sented at the Philadelphia annual en-
campment of the G. A. r. in September.
Many Complaints Unfounded-
Pending the report Colonel Johnson,
the committees spokesman, and his coll
leagues declined absolutely to discuss
their work or the results of their in
quiry. 1t was admitted, however, that
much which has been printed concern
ing the action of the bureau has been
found untrue. The examination of the
files has shown a lack of foundation
for many complaints that have formed
the basis of criticism. 1t was learned
before the committees departure that
when it arrived here it had amemoran-
dunn of about thirty cases in which the
rulings had been criticised. The pa
pers in these cases were sent for in
regular order and it is understood dis
closed substantially no foundation for
the attacks on the official action upon
them.
