The democratic central committee Of
this state has made the wise selection OF
Hon. Sam White, Of Baker City, a.
chairman. lie says the party will be
organized to win the next election in
Oregon; that a Democratic morning
paper will be established i'm Portland,
with paid capital of t25O, 900, to aid the
movement. The MINER, posing rs an
expert, offers one piece Of advice on the
subject; that change of plans be made,
from the morning to the evening field.
In the first place, the Telegram is
"easier" than the Oregonian. A more
satisfactory evening press service can be
secured. The Pacific coast, with three
hours difference in time between the
news centers Of the east, makes the
evening paper more desirable and en-
ables II to work up n larger circulation.
And last, but not least, people who have
tiTe to read II morning paper are of that
class who are not influenced politically
bv any thing that can be written; but,
instead, consider the subject carfully
and vote to please their bankers.

SEVERAL years since Japan, in its in
discriminate haste to become "modern-

anese gentleman of wealth and learning,
who has made study Of social and eco
nomic problems, told an Associated
Press representative in New York that
In his country the rich are growing
richer and the poor poorer. And this Is
the old, old story, which history has
never yet failed to record, where any
nation has radically contracted its legal
tender currency. And such will ever
be the case, for II Is In accordance With
one Of the laws of trade, as immatable
az one of those OF Nature.

Mr.. Satterthwaite, and at the same time
sending a description of him. All the
local police were also modified.

OF Likely That Gen. Chafiee Vii
Agree TO Plans Without IRStruc-
tiORS From Washington

Peldn, Feb 1S.-A few days ago
lount Won Waldersee wrote to the
enerals under his supervision notify
ng them to have all their available
roops ready in two weeks for an ex-
edition lasting so days. Yesterday
len. Chaffee and Gen. VOyron, the
'rench commander, received letters
skiing for their cooperation and ex-
ressing a desire to know what forces
hey can spare. In commencing his
etter to Gen. Chaffee Count Won
Naldersee says:
. lowing to the unsatisfactory nego-
iations for peace, and also to circum-
tanccs rendering such a course desir-
.ble it will probably be necessary to
esume military operations on a large
Gale, especially toward the west"
II is not thought likely that Gen.
Jhaffee will agree to such plan with
,ut Instructions from Washington. The
french commander, however, is ex-
lected to do so. Count Won Walder-
ee's plans contemplate Offering the
command of the expedition in the first
Instance to Sir Alfred Gaselee, the
British commander, but it is believed
hat, in view of his recent illness, Gen.
1aselee will inform Count Won Walder-
zee that he is unable to accept the
command. In that event it will be Of
cred to Gen. Voyron, provided the
French fall in with the arrangement,
which Count Won Waldersee believes
will be the case. Such an offer to Gen.
Toyron would have the effect, it is
.hought, of overcoming the differences
which have existed between the French
Ind Germans, because it would be a
demonstration OF Count Won Walder-
ices confidence in the military ability
lf the French contingent.
Ere long an announcement is ex-
)ected that the destination of the pro-
posed expedition is Sian Flu. The for
. sign ENJOYS believe its object to be to
compel the Chinese to accept the terms
II the powers. It is thought that when
Il becomes known that the expedition
las started the imperial court will
hasten to comply Immediately with al
he demands of the joint note.
The military are much elated at the
prospect Of active service. Many be.
ieve the Chinese army will strive tC
he uttermost to protect the province
