very dscouraging circumstances, but for

ca BINET CHANGES.

When Elihu Root takes his seat In
President McKinley's official house
hold there will be bus three of the
original cabinet in ofhce-Secretaries
Gage, Long and Wilson. During the
past two and one hslf years there have
been more changes in the cabinet
than has been customary during an
entire presidential term, which ap-
pears as If the president either made
grave mistakes In selecting his first
advisors, or found companions who
were uncongenial.
The first change In the cabinet was
the elevation of Judge McKenna. of
California, who was his sttorney-gen-
eral, to the supreme bench, against
the protest of leading lawyers all oyer
the country, and John w. Griggs was
selected to fill the vacancy. Next
Jonn sherman, Of Ohio, found the
duties of the secre tary of states Office
disagreeable, and gave way to make
d pldC0 IOr ASSlSUduu oSCTcudTy Ddy3
and he in turn gave way to Mr.. Hay,
that he might be recalled from Eng
land. The early retirement of Mr..
Sherman was anticipated when he was
appointed, for he was only made Sec
retary of state in order to give Mark
Hanna q place in the United States
senate, and nobody expected him to
remain at the head of the state depart
ment longer than was necessary to
satisfy the ambition of the Ohio boss.
Postmaster.General Gray's health
failed him more than year ago and
he returned to Maryland, leaving a
vacancy to be filed by Charles Emory
Smith, of Pennsylvania, who had done
herculean work In '96. aud to whom
the administration owed a debt of
gratitude. Then Mr.. Bliss discovered

FORMOSA AND LUZON.

A Japanese statesman, Mr.. Kentaro
Kaneko, who is now in this country,
having come here to receive a degree
from Harvard University, of which in
stitution he is graduate. has given
an interview upon the subject OF the
war in the Philippines which contains
a few points of more than ordinary
interest. He believes that the Ameri-
cans, with their characteristic self
reliance and practical energy, have
bee., a little too precipitant in the
measures they haye taken In the Phil
ippines and have not sufficiently stud.
led the experience OF other nations.
Japan, he says, made the same mis-
stake in Formosa when that island fell
into her hands after the war with
China, and it has been very costly.
Mr.. Kaneko says Japan's policy in
Formosa went through three distinct
stages. First, commissioners were
sent to the natives and assured them
that there was no intention to inter-
fere with their religion, customs or
institutions further than giving them
an orderly government, but the ma.
tives placed no confidence in the jap
anese, and this policy failed. The
recourse was arms, and vigorous war
of conquest followed. Formosans did
just what the Filipinos are doing.
They fought and ran away. They
could not stand before the Japanese in
battle, and were routed again and
again. But" says Mr.. Kaneko, sit
was only like brushing away flies with
the hand to see the swarm reunite.
The experience proved too costly in
men and money tor the meager results
attained" -
Then came the third experiment
tried by Japan. The defensive atti.
tude was assumed, the towns taken
were garrisoned and no attempt was
made.to overrun the country districts.
But by degrees trade sprang up be.
tween the strongholds and tho SUR.
rounding country; the people became
acquainted with the Japanese and be-
gan to like their ways, and to want to
be annexed. Village after village was
taken in, and the lines of occupation
as fast as the people were
ready for it. This last policy. Mr..
Kaneko says, is proving successful,
and in ten or twenty years Japan will
have advanced in this way over the
whole of the island and will have par

Some papers are continuing TO criti-
else the Oregon soldiers for having
selected San Francisco as the point of
mastering out, but it is very likely
those who are condemming them, If
If they had been in the boys shoes,
would have done the same thing. A
trip of thirty days in transport is
none too pleasant, and no doubt the
soldiers greatest desire was to get on
land ar the first point reached, in
order that they might find more COM
fort. Then the offer of travel pay was
an indncement, which frail humanity
could not refuse. The soldiers had
done their duty and had rendered q
service that was credit to the state,
and nobody should complain of them
for heing in a hurry to end their serv-
ice and at the same time get little
extra pay. While all Oregonians
would have preferred that the reei-
ment come home as body, yet we
who had not undergone the hardships
they. endured have no right to criti-
else them for not coming home to be
discharged. 50

Governor Geer is being peti.ioned to
pardon James Lee, who has been SEN
teDced to three years in the peniten-
tiary for criminal assault upon girl.
The petition is signed by eleven of
the jurors, and it sets up the fact
that "Lee, at the time of the com.
mission of the alleged crime, was q
mere boy, under Is years OF age: the
evidence was not very strong. and the
defenda ut was not closely identified. :"
IF the statements set up in the petition
are true, the jurors who found the boy
guilty must have had little regard for
their oath. and committed crime by
returning a verdic. on evidence that
was mot very strong" and in case
where the defendant was not clearly
identified" There is lame place In
the law that allows jurors to find such
verdicts and then attempt to undo their
woi k by petitioning the governor to
pardon the party convicted. There
ought to be some provision for giving
such jurors short term of punishment.

immigration Thomas Fitchie, IN testi-
flying before it. suggested that the
laws be changed 30 as to imposs fines

to land any passengers suffering from
q contagious disease. The cUmnis-
sioner said he believed 1t wou'd be u
good thing IL all the officers OF the
department were taken out OF the
civil service.
Assistant Commissioner Edward
McSweeney recited the difficulties in
enforcing the law regarding the ex-
clusion of the various classes Of unde-
sirable immigrants. He said that ans
allurements offered to any one TO come
here to labor, should be deemed suf-
fcient to bar the immigrant. Mr..
McSweeney said he believed the time
had arrived when the laws should be
revised.
