BtVERIDGE of Indian. : I B DATINISTRATION ia tie principle upon which our colonial fKI policy should proceed TOR A CENTURY TO COME. . Wherever we have departed from tho idea of adrninistra- tion as such we havo made an error which natural condi tions will gradually COAtPEL us to correct. Not sudden self government for peoples who have not yet learned the alphabet of liberty; not territorial independence for islands whoso ignorant, suspicious and primitive inhabitants, 4 left to themselves, WOULD PREY UPON ONE ANOTHER until they become the inevitable spoil of other powers; not anything but the discharge of our great national trust and greater national duty to our wards by COMMON SENSE METHODS will achieve the welfare of our colonies and bring us success in tho civilized work to which we are called, and common sense in the management of our dependencies means PRACTICAL ADMINISTRATION of government until our wards are trained in CONTINUOUS industry and in orderly liberty. M :' v ;f . ,. Vt THAT TIME THEY WILt AUO HAVE ACQUIRED THAT RE SERVE AND STEADINESS OF CHARACTER THROUGH WHICH AtONE SELi; GOVERNMENT IS POSSIBLE. WHAT AOS JAPAN? Japan ia beeoming civilized with a vengeance 1 We always felt, her on the western marge of the American conti nent, that the "little brown man" wa our next and natural neighbor and that he would "develop pro-American spirit inseparable from the contiguity and the consciousness of our protecting strength and generous predisposition toward him; that he would climb right along with us and be an ardent friend for the sake of all such a friendship might mean to him. In fact, we were prepared to maintain a "big-brotherly attitude and have an eye out for him in his sturdy struggle up the civilized heights; and what do we behold! The snappy little runt has swung clean about and is pos ing as our only avowed enemy in the world, and is all but daring us to "come on" and take the licking he has in store for us I What is the matter with the Jap, anyway f They were preaching their tradition, loyal devotion to the nation, the Mikado, and all their Gods and his tory, only a few months ago, and swearing by this people and government, until one would have thought we were solely and wholly their best and biggest friend and here they are screaming war at ns and having spasms day after day because we dont kow tow to them sufficiently. They have taken the lid off of home politics and are going in for all the frills ind fripperies of thatcult and the aspiring geniuses in the lead over there have concluded" that the surest route to preferment and success, is by way of giving us a drubbing and taking over the spoils in s blaze of glory. Where is their faith and trut in the Mikado; where the endless obligation they are under to us; where the decent, manly, justice that marked them when they were at war with the Russians? If the Jap is going to turn politician, we are done with him. He may go bang for all we care; but for the sake of old times, we will offer him one word of counsel, in the homely terms of the famous old Texan, "Be sure you're right, then go ahead!" Crime Is Rampant In New York . r Magistral CORNELL of Nrw York City - I HAVE been eleven years on the bench, and I am sure that crime is more rampant NOW than at any other time. There is such a lot of mawkish sentiment in the community that a criminal after being found guilty is treated so leni ently that PUNISIIMENT HAS BECOME A JOKE. In crimes of considerable magnitude it ia often difficult to have complaints pressed, even when we have good cases against the prisoners. It is perfectly apparent to any one sitting in a magistrate's court, where we get to know more about crime than in any other walk of life, that there are regularly ORGANIZED BANDS OF PRO FESSIONAL CRIMINALS in this' citv who are daily growing bolder. It is no exaggeration to say that crime in New York is now ON A BUSINESS BASIS. This is shown in tho ease and rapidity with which pickpockets, wire tappers, confidence men and thugs find bail and lawyers to defend them. The growing alliance between crimi nals and certain lawyers has become so open that I have come to know WHAT COUNSEL different sorts of offenders will have appear for them. THERE ARE SPECIALISTS, SO TO SPEAK, IN ALL BRANCHES OP RASCALITY. .. v WHAT OF THE GRAIN ROUTE? Bre'r" Harry Murphy had a smashing good cartoon in yesterday's Oregonian, the keen point of which was directed to our Puget Sound friends, anent the water-level haul on east-bound railroad freight via the 0. R. A X., in comparison with the mountain grade climb, in the same direction, via the K. P. And the big Portland daily made the most of the' situation by amplifying it with a sound and snappy first-page article tell ing of the hoggishness of the Sound cities in the matter of east-bound lum ber hauls from their own, and Oregon, territory. We are quite curious to know if that cunning cartoon, transposed, with a western trend, from the grain fields of Idaho, Washington and Oregon, will be displayed in the near future, in the same paper, indicating to the same cities on the Sound, the fallacy of trying to compete, over those same mountain ranges, with the water-level haul on grain trains, via the P. & S. and the A. 4 C. to sea coat, at Astoria t Of course, the query is a bit premature, but we venture to file the suggestion now, so we may have something to recall at such time aa the reproduction would be propitious, and does not appear amended as we take the liberty of insinuating it might be. Such a development it so certain that we may be pardoned the pleasant thought, and really Bre'r Murphy i quite as much to blame as we are, tf blame there is in so wholly pertinentan ideal THE KAISER'S WAY.

T he does; witness his strenuous treat ment of his cousin, Prince Frederick Henry, who ba suddenly developed into one of the most detestable rogue in the Empire involving the fame and honor of the imperial family in the dirtiest scandal that has shocked Europe for scores of years. Ha calls him into the presence, reads the latest and foulest report of the prince's capers to him, team the medals and ambae dork! insignia from the breast of his confessing kinsman, slaps his face, and orders him to leav the German realm forever; and the ierahle debsucha de parts for Egypt on the In-tont, shorn of every title, every attribute of a gentleman, with a reputation a dog brute would not carry. This is sharp practice and wonderfully effective; and it will be worth the watching as this kingly man and gentleman deals with the rest of the gang of titled loaders wh" made the disgraced prince'e practices possible. It is a pity we of America have not some uch authority and re prisal for the kind of creatures this prince was; sonie indisputable code that would blast and undo the life of such rarely bad men as this when they are uncovered along with their sins and co- sinners. The one-man power ia superb resource at times. 1 ON TELE MOVE Remnants and Odd Lots TO MAKE ROOM FOR OUR NEW STOCK The power of price as we have figured it down to command I the attention of the public, cannot fail to make a clean sweep of I x such ucsiraDic mcrcnanaisc.

S We must expect to hear of a mission being mobbed once in a while on account of the unsettled conditions of that country, but it should be no occasion for a frantic outburst of wrath.

Joaquin Miller has gone to Canyon City, Ore., to deliver a Fourth of July oration, says the San Francisco Ex aminer. When asked about his Sena torial aspirations h smiled and replied; "My home in Oregon has never been abandonedand if the people of Oregon should wish to demand my services as United States Senator there ia no rea son So far as I know why they should be deprived of that privilege. One thing, let me say, that I would be mighty glad to go to Washington from my dear Oregon constituency. I would love to go into the Senate Chamber and brush the dust from lie chsir that formerly was occupied by old Joe Lane and let the United States know just what the people of the Pacific Coast need and ought to have. After I make mv Fourth of July speech I will be open for suggestions from the states men of Oregon, and if the demand for my election is strong enough it is the right of the people to command and my duty to obey and accept the burden of office."
