There was no more hope for their liberation than there governor of the wbo!e island, with ' General ErooUe cr some other officer in military command, 3t subordi nate to the civil authority. Some of tbe rof-iie of Cuba are naturally becoming in-patient at the continuation of the military govern ment. Except for the greater hu manity, intelligence and honesty of the American administration, they are in a position in some rcsp"..3 similar to the one they we;e in under the Spar.ib rule. The principle is the same, tbe government being based on ruili'Rry force. A civil government under General Wcod, following out the practice of this general in Santiago, of putting natives in tfiieial positions as far as possible end consulting local opinions and preferences, would no doubt be highly popular and would pave the way for annexation of the island to the United States with the consent of the vast msj rity of the people dulj ex ressert'at the polls. The iu!es according to which General Wood has been acting were explained by biuj in a recent article in the Century Magoziue: If," he says, 4,we give the Cubans an honest, economical government, and use every means to put the most desirable and competent Cubans in office, liberalize and Americanize 'their institutions, improve the sani tary and other conditions of their towns, organize and put ia effect a suitable school system, get rid of the present intolerable administration of the criminal law, and put in opera tion a complete system of taxation, t e shall find that there is no Cuban q lestion leftand that we are dealing not with a distrustful, suspicious and resentful people, but with a people who i!l appreciate what we arc doing for them and will give us their cordial support." Those who know General Wood or hitvc carefully watched bis career in Cuba believe that the placing bim in control of the island would settle the question of annexation by de termining the people, even the Cuban population, to accept it eager ly. There may be some who may say that we do not want Cuba an nexed, but what else can re do with it without running the risk of incur ring more trouble? If we leave the people to themselves and & state of anarchy ensues, we should be called upon to interfere again, and in the meantime the ground already gained would have been lest. was for the Man in the Iron Mask. Jealousy, malevolence or any cthei base emotion may have immurred them, but when once the doors of their prison closed upon them they were never opened until the .risoncr was carried to '.he graveyard. Such a fate is not possible in the modern age, not even in Russia's Siberia, which has ceased to be a place for the confinement of political offenders. Civilization, democracy, the creation of an intelligent and alert public opinion, have prevented a repetition in our century of the lettres de cachet death warrants by which the pompadours, the Montespans end the other parasites of the courts wreaked revenge on their enemies. The world is immeasurably brighter and better than it was a century ago or earlier, and the change has been largely due to the annihilation of caste barriers and the diffusion of the democratic spirit which has been forced upon the world by the precept and example of the United States. Globe-Democrat. PUBLIC OFFICE A I'M VA TE SXAP TRIAL THAT WILL BE HISTORIC Something more thun Capt. Drey ftis, an officer charged with selling military secrets to another nation, is on trial in the little mediieval capital of Brittany, in Fiance. The govern mental system of France is on trial. This case will show whether France is ruled by her eople or by a con clave of military officers. It will reveal whether that country is a re public or a military oligarchy, which Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Vnnderlip has ordered a reduc tion in the salaries of some of the chiefs and assistant chiefs of tbe treasury department, says the Spokesman-Review. The reason given for it is that Mr. Vanderlip has been making an investigation of the work mg of some of the divisions in the department with which he is con netted and has found that the government employes give more time to loitering, talking and read ing newspapers than they do to labor. As the chiefs and assistant chiefs are held responsible for the men under them they are the parties who are made to suffer through a reduction of salary . If some of the other government officials in high places would make nn examination similar to that made by Mr. Vanderlip, the probabilities are that a large number of govern ment clerks would be woiking for less wages than they received before such examination. If some of the heads of departments would occasion ally and unannounced drop ic upon the employes under them no doubt they would find a good many who arc earning their salaries in social converse, newspaper reading or scientific time killing. Tbe reason for this is that public office is and always has been re garded as a private snap and not a public trust, as a distinguished presi dent once expressed it. It is not often you run across a liard-woiked public official. It is rare to find one who is actually wearied unless it be through ennui. You never hear them groaning becauso ihey are mentally and physically tired out. Their hours are short and their pay sure, and when the office is closed at 3 or 4 or 5 in the afternoon there hurry, to rush, no grind such as j rent to Maui: and buried on Artiilery other white men have to wrestle with tight and ten and twelve hours a day. O'.her men may worry and fret and fume and slave; the office holder dcesn'L lie doesn't have to. That isn't what he got appointed for. It might be possible to get more woik owl of the average public oflkisl, but it is doubtful. They are in a sort of a trust which objects to over-exert ion. There are too many hallowed memories of easy times to warrant much genuine activity in a place, the salary of which is paid by Uncle Sam. There are too many sacred traditions to bo overcome be fore we can hope that the officeholder will do as much work as the man in private life dtes. Under prodding such as Mr. Vanderlip has given it may be that a few of them will "hit her up" until such time as they are not watched by a hard-hearted, un feeling and over zcalou3 superior, but they w ill gradually drop back into the old lcthaigy, which is more circumspect and altogether comfort able. Some time a sort of a revolu tion may work changes for the better, but until s.ch a revolution comes perhaps all we can say is, long life to the lucky dogs who get so much out of their pull, their politics, their pipes and their. periodicals. About twenty-five of the ex rcform school boys were with the army and navy in the Philippines. And not one disgraced himself. One was with Dewey on his flig ship during tbe battle of Manila, and he furnished the ammunition for one of the guns. Another who went in as a private in one of the Oregon com panies came out a Grst sergeant, having been promoted on account of his efficiency and bravery. Knoll. Lieut. V.

Early in the spring 300 caskets were sent to Manila, accompanied by a profession al undertaker, bat it was discovered that climatic c nditions rendered it impos sible to einta'ni bodies unless it was done immediately aft'.-r death, so the matter has been postponed until eact a tirnu as the badiescan be safely taken op after bnria!, probably six months hei.ee. Halations will be officially notified when this is done, and the bodies will beeent them free of expense if they de sire. Otherwise they will be interred in a national canietery.

No other trial which has occurred anywhere in the present century has caused the interest throughout the world which this case arouses. The newsptpers of every civilized country have been giving a large amount of space to the case for several years, especially since the heroic exposure of the conspiracy against Dreyfus which was made by tbe novelist Zola. The proceedings of the court will be reported in as much detail by the leading English, German and Ameri can papers as they will be by those of France. Every Incident connected them until 9 or 10 the rnzt morn ing. It is a placid sea with no sign of a breeze and their course is an easy, aimless and often irresponsible drift Public clerks get into a rut; the work usually is light and becomes in time a dull routine, an automatic following of forms. Gradually the problem resolves itself into a de termination to find out not what to do, but what not to do. It Is very seldom that one goes into a public office run by servants of the Uoircd States and finds tbe people in it overworked. In Dine cases out of ten they will be found The following facts about the mem bers of Company L, "who ure now under the sod and the dew," have been supplied by the company commander First Sergeant Lee K. Morse was shot and killed Jan. 6, 1599, about 11 o'clock at niuht, on the wall at Manila, by a sentinel who uiEtork him for a prowling native for whom Morso himself was searching. Hi had been first lieutenant of Company K, at Portland, but was not in the service when the war broke out. He came to Portland from Eastern Oregon and enlieted when he found he could not get a commission. His body was taken to Portland, where his parents live, by bis brother, alpo a member of the company, and was then conveyed to Michigan for burial. Private William Field enlisted from Company G, of Tbe Dalits. He was at Camp McKinley detailed to the cotn- misary department under Lieut. Piatt. At Cavite in July, 1S9S, be was detailed to the regimental hospital, and in August was transferred from the volun teer service to the United States Hoe- pital Corns, and when the regiment went to Manila he remained at the hospital in Cavite. 11a soon after contracted typhoid fever and died Sept. 6ib. The company went over to Cavite in a body to attend his funeral. He was buried on the marine hospital grounds and tbe boys erected a good headstone at their own expenee. It can be said of Field that his sickness was largely due to his neglect of himself while caring for others. He has a mother and a vouna brother and sister at Ceotaar, Mo., to whom his effects were cent, and a father at Portland. Henry 0'Flahrrty enlieted ith Com pany C men. His father lives near Vancouver, Wash. He was an extreme ly generous and kind hearted boy, and much of tbe time was given charge of the feeding of the sick men of the com pany, whom be never neglected. He was in the hospital several times with measles and fever, and contracted small pox at a time when all his vitality bad been exhausted by fever. He died March 9, 1809, and was buried at Manila. Guy Millard had been a member of Company K a number of years, and came back aain when the war broke oat. He was shot in the breaet during the charge at Malabon. Some of the boys helped bim a little way to the rear. When the hospital corps foand him he was trying to aid another wonnded man, who was by no means so badly hort as himself. He died before they could get bim to the field hospital. He was buried on Artillery Knoll, near Manila. His mother, Mrs. Hialop, lives in Port land. . Hayes B. Taylor enlisted in Company Those, who met Lieut. Telfer during his visit here Sunday will be gratified to leard that word has bsen received from M. A. Moody to the effect that the Ore gon delegation this morning selected him as censussupervisor for the second con gressional district. This has been a po sition much sought after, and Lieut Teifer has been honored in the selection, which was no doubt given on account of efficient service as an officer during the lato war, and also from a personal knowledge of his business career before he enlisted. For some time he was a traveling man, then held the position as manager for Lewis & Dryden, in Port land. He is a native of Buffalo, X. Y., but for years has made his home In Port land. Lieut. Telfer is a favorite with the boys of Company L, and everyone who met film here was pleased with hi genial manner. His splendid tribute to our soldier boys, if nothing else would endear him to the hearts of Dalles people, who congratulate him on the appointment. DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP.
