Th most Interesting of th Irving
statesmen are Prlnoa Ito and Count
Okuma, the on supreme In power and
the other Insistent in opposition. Prince
Ito is better known to foreigners than
any other Japanese statesman. He Is
of life and Is the power behind the
throne, the director of 'cabinets and
closest personal adviser to the em
peror. In 1868, when h waa 22 years
old. he evaded the authorities and es
caped japan to England, In company
with Count Inouye. another of the living
elder sttatesmen. Both were disguised
as sailors. They were provided with
plenty of money when they left home,
but they gambled with the sailors on the

tax. Of. course if the Venezuelan
government owns the property it can
fix whatever export tax It pleases,
and Castro has the decisions of the
Venezuelan courts to fall back on;
yet tt la pretty 'certain that he, as
. dictator,, ordered these decisions, and
' that he has acted ln the matter much
after the manner of a bandit.
. The matter . should be arbitrated,
and If Castro refuses to arbitrate, it
J would '. probably be Justifiable to
- send- a few third-rate war vessels

he consents the United States gov

, would-soon bring him to terms, as
similar action did before. Castro is

but'left awhile without revenue he
would dwindle to small proportions.

CAUSES OP SENATOR FULTOJPS
DEFEAT. v
mHE defeat of Senator Fulton Is
': due to two causes. First, his
I long and intimate association
with Oregon politics. Though
never personally-corrupt, though a
better man in politics than many of
his associates, he joined in the game,
and played it, knowing all .about Its
' crookedness and -corruption, 'during
m any years. : PoliUcs, party faction,
political and personal friends, some
of them politically dishonorable and
disreputable,' were to him, as to al
most au otner politicians in those
days, -more that, the people's inter
ests and welf ave. Yet through' it
all, speaking comparatively,' Fulton
was a pretty decent ; player of the
game, lie supposed politics wm in
evitably and unreformably what he
foond it and so accepted it as, such
and took - a hand. Now, nnder
changed conditions, the. game, is up,
the band is thrown 'down.::; New
faces are to the fore. r
