Another report comes to the effect that Cape Nome is a veritable Eldor ado. It is not necessary to vade creeks, wander ovtr tundra, climb hills, cross mountain;, and, whei colors are found, to sink through frozen ground to the depth of twenty or thirty feet. On the contrary, the gold is to be had merely for the tak ing. As one returned Cape Xomer reports it there is a beach 200 miles Ion? au I in the sand of thu beach throughout the entire stretch dust is to be found in profusion. It is said that "a fellow can jump cut on the beach anywhere, dig a small hole and wash out probably several hundred dollars in a few days," says the Re view. This sounds very alluring, but all these stories about so many grains cf I gold being in grains of sand should be taken with a few grains of lt - It is just such tales of exaggerations man nave uan uvuimusui peui'.e , to the north, mhere they have found want and suffering instead of riches. No doubt tLere is some gold in the Cape Nome district, but these reports of the existence of beaches of it are no doubt the product of those highly sensational imaginations which are so abundant in Alaska. If a man goes to Cape Nome in the hope of Ba ling fortune scattered along the seashore he will be grievously disap pointed. He may pick up ordinary wages, but the chauccs are against his doing much more than that. With it all be must prepare himself to face hunger, cold, scurvy and the isola tion of artic life, and it may well be questioned whether the returns are equal to the expenditure and sacri fices. A nun should iiot go to Cape Nome unless be is fully satisfied that be is acquainted with the exact situ ation of affairs there. CARTER AND PHILIPPINES. Senator Carter of Montana, in a a dispatch published yesterday, pre sents the Philippine situation in a nutshell. There are three courses open to us: Hrst, to abandon the islands entirely to the natives; sec ond, to establish firm government and control over them; third, to exercise a sort of guardianship, allowing the natives absolute freedom in their in ternal B ffaiis. Senator Caitcr be lieves the second course is the one the American people will approve. There are some who believe the islands should be given up, that we should withdraw and leave the Fili pinos to settle t.cir own affairs. This will never be done. Title to the islands we gained through victory in war over the former owners and by a cash payment of 20,000,000. Dis regarding the methods by which we have gained an authority over the archipelago which is recognizrd by every civiliced nation in the world. If we shouM leave theie is no gov. eminent to replace us. A few Tagals in Luzon mad up mottly of adven turers educated in Spanish methods of government pretend to have a sort of administration, but it amounts to nothing. It exercises little or no control except in the country im mediately surrounding Manila. To . turn the government over to this remnant would be like conveyfng the empire of China to the people of the province of KwangTung. Rebellion would arise at once. Tagnls would be fighting among themselves, and the tribes of the interior recognizing no outside authority would be plunged into an internecine conflict that could only result in death, de etruclion, waste and a gradual but certain wipiog out of the population. It is certainly a question as to whether the United States would be perform ing its highest duty if it allowed such things to come to f ass. . ( Exercising a guardianship while allowing the natives absolute control of their own affair, would result only in an eventual assumption of full) power by this government. The Filipinos are not capable of govern ing themselves, and, as Senator Car ter says, the inevitable end would be anarchy. It would be a reign of po litical intriguing among the more in telligent and quarrels and combats between the half-civilized tribes. Order would be restored only when the United States stepped in and put the disturbance down. That would mean government of the islands by Americans. The more natural, sensible a.nd satisfactory solution of the difficulty is the one to which Senator Carter gives bis approval. It is to hold the islands in a firm grasp, exercise full authority, put down rebellion, estab lish order, treat the natives kir.dly, give them such share of goverrment as the are qualified to assume, edu cate them, help them raise their standard of living, and demonstrate to tbem that they will enjoy better j government under the Stars and Stripes than tbey could create for themselves in a thousand years. This solution is the one the American peo ple will in all human probability de cide to adopt. RESPONSIBILITIES OF CIVILIZA TION. Jhe Slatej ,$ Leanng tbese days, from an qBarlers of the world, . 50rae.biD, about tbc responsibilities . nnwer rind onnor- -j j-- - -ii tunity thrust upon a nation, says the Globe-Democrat. A newspaper pub lished in Rome declares that the disturbances in Santo Domingo and one or two of the Central American republics impose a duty upon the United States of exercising a protec torate over Cuba until that island gets the knowledge of self-government sufficiently thorough to enable it to avoid the spectacles made by other peoples of its race on this continent. One or the London papers, the Speaker, says that "whether the American government is popular in the Philippine Islands or not, it is vastly superior to any Filipino. ad ministration." This is the view of the world re girding America's duties and respon sibilities at the present time. These duties cost some sacrifices in life and money, but they have to be per formed in the interest of civilization. Upon the white races, and principally upon two or three families of these races, will devolve the government of nil the barbarous or half civilized peoples. Asia is partly parceled out among three or four of the powers of Europe already, and Africa is almost wholly divided up among them and among a few small independent or quasi-independent countries like the Congo Free State, the South African Republic and the Orange Free State, whose government! are mn by white men. The islands of the sea are either ull, under the control of a few of the great nations or are likely to be in the near future. Japan is about the only nation of any of the inferior races which has a chance to endure. A part, though only ns yet a very small part, of the burdeii cf giving peace, stable government and civili zation to the inferior races falls to the United States. Upon this country is thrust the respon sibility of giving to the inhab itants of the Philippines the only condition approximating to actual freedom which they ever had. This duty the country will promptly and cheerfully perform, the only condi tion which it asks from the inhab itants of the islands being the recog nition of American sovereignty. The outside world looks to the United States for the protection of the citi zens of the different nations in the Philippines, and protection can be given to them only after American control is fully established. Civiliza tion demands that we shall preserve the peAre among the warring tribes in the islands and abolish piracy in them, which has been practiced ever since Europeans began to make their appearance in the waters of that region four centuries ago. All these reforms are dependent upon unre stricte J American control. The task of the Americans In the Philippines is to establish peace and diffuse civilization among the savage and barbarous peoples of the Philip pine archipelago and then to gradual- !y lead them into the way. of self- government. No crest nation ever as confronted with a higher and at the same time more difficult duty in its dealing, with inferior races, and 6 . . . . ,u I ihe duty will be performed with courage, Intelligence and tact. j - j The Sultan of Sulu is a lulu, lie j has the liberty of having as many wives as be desires and can support1 outbefGOOO. year that Uncle Sam j uu me tv j j will pay him.

East Oregonian. Says the Kansas City Star. "It is probable that Admiral Dewey's spells of indisposition are caused by read ing some of the fulsome eulogies of him in anti exjiansion newspapers, One of the peculiar features of the opposition to ihe Philippine war is that all who denounce it simply go mad with adulation of Dewey, who conquered Manila and advised that the Philippines should be held." When Aguinaido reads lbe Ohio Democratic platform he may fancy that he is going to carry the state in November. But for these periodical delusions his followers would throw away their guns and go to work. The Germans celebrated German day in the EhsI Tuesday, and at nearly all the exercises there were de monstrations of one sort or another which expressed devotion to and adopted country and its llag.

Tuesday, Sept. 12th. New Aajlurn Superintendent. The stato administration in Salem Tuesday morning made several changes in subordinate places under its manage ment, chief among which was a new superintendent fur the insane asylum, for which Dr. Calbreatb, of McMInn ville, was chosen. He is spoken of in the hichest terms, and in 1894 was elected to ttie senate, where be was conspicuous for bis support of meritori ous measures. But what the people of Oregon are most interested in Is whether he has a hert of sympathy for those poor unfortunates who are entrusted to bis cire. If there is a position in the gift of the state for which the best man in the state ahuuld be chosen, it is the superintendent of the insane asylum ; for how much sooner would the friends of these poor victims consign their remains to the grave than to feel that they are at the mercy of a heartless wretch, who Is careless of the attendants he employs and pays little heed to what goes on In the Institution. The case of the treatment of the remains of one of these unfortunates from The Dalles rt csntly is not to be compared to what it would be to have the living mistreated. The salary of the superintendent of the asylnm is $2500 per year, and he is by law furnished living quarters, house hold furniture, provisions, fuel and lbjht from the supplies of the asylum. This should be a sufficient remnneratlon to Insure good service, but money cannot pat a heart in a human being, ai d so we trust nature has done the work for our new superintendent. If the selection has been as fortunate as that of the superintendent at the penitentiary, who Is well known to Dalles people as a man of woi th, it can not fail to give satisfaction. Other changes are as follows : M. L. Chamberllo, of Salem, for chief cleik of the state land board to succeed Gen. W. II. Odell, resigned, at the pleasure of the board. (This election has not been formally made, but said ti be agreed npon.) ' ' Major C. U. Gantenbeln, of Tortland. for adjutant general of the Oregon Genera' B. B. Tattle on November 1st. Col. James Jackson, U. S. A., of Port land, for inspector general on the gov ernor's staff, to succeed himself. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE- A Good Attodne and M ich Iatraat-r-IkoH rrtieat. Thursday'! Daily The annual teachers' institute for Watco county convened this morning under the most favorable auspices. The weather could scarcely be more perfect, and the large attendance of teachers at the opening session indicates that a suc cessful meeting will be had. At 0 o'clock order was called, and t!;e exercises began with singing, Supt. J. S. Landers having charge. County Superintendent Gilbert has so far re covered from bis iliness as to be able to be present and preside. He made a few well chosen remarks welcoming the teachers, after which President P. L. Campbell yave an interesting talk on the eutjectof Fsyclulogy. He showed the value and importance of a knowledge of its principle in enabling the teacher to simplify instruction and economizes lime and energy, while at the same time se curing the best possible results in the way of teaching the child's mind. Supt. Liudersfol!owed with a talk on Mensuration. Pursuing the method in dicated by Pres. Campbell in his re marks on Psychology, Supt. Landers showed how plain surfaces may be best classified and presented to the pupil. A short intermission fol'.owed, after which the president continued his talk on Psychology. The morning session closed with an instructive lesson on Elementary Geog raphy work by Supt. Landers. The institute is most fortunate in its instructors. Prof. Campbell and Supt. Landers possess a thorough knowledge of their s ul jects and present them in a masterly manner. At the afternoon session Miss Ilattie Stirnweis read a piper on the teaching of civil 'iverniuent.' In the discussion following, President Campbell and Supt. Lmders made some valuable suggestions as to the manner of teaching this sub ject. This was followed by a paper on Training f r Citizenship by J. T. NefT. The Use of t lie School Library was the subject of the next paper by S. C, Sherrill of Frankton School, The paper was full of good thoughts as to the selec tion and use of the library, and an inter esting discussion of the same showed how important is the matter of the school library. It was the sentiment of teachers that the state should make provision for supplying schools with suitable books for general reading and reference. It was also brought out that much lis e been done by the teachers of this county in the way of establishing libraries in the schools. The following is the list of teachers in attendance: Pres. P. L. Campbell, Monmouth; Misses Mar Ursula Michel!, Maie Jones, Abbie Taylor, Laura Bulkck, Anna B. Thompson, Elsie M. Ball, D. E. Alla way, Francis A. Fouts, A.

Seuloni An Wall Attandrd and Krary thing Oom Whh a Knap. rrldnr. A pater on "How to Conduct tha Writing Eaercises," by Miss Katie Davenport, followed the afternoon inter mission yesterday. Miss Davenport is au excellent writer, and what she said as to the end to be attained and how best to attain it, will be helpful to many teachers. "As we learn to do bv doinir. so we learn to write by writing," is her motto. Miss Margaret Le Due's paper treated of inattention and showed how it is the function and duty of the teacher to over come this habit by making the exercises of the ssbool interesting rather tbsn by . . woras or command. "Vocal Music," by C. R. Deems was the last paper of the day. Mr. Deems had a carefully prepared paper and was listened to with deep interest. Then was a closing song, after which the first day's session came to an end. TonTs kaiTiao.
