Botha, the Boer general, is accused of being crazy because he will not listen to England’s terms of peace. It will be recalled that a gentleman named George Washington was also accused of this same malady once, for the same reason. President McKinley’s contemplat ed western tour will give the people an opportunity of seeing and hos pitably welcoming and entertaining their president. The president's in vitations to visit the enterprising western cities will not be extended with a view of booming town lots or enlivening business by reason of the chief executive of the nation being a sojourner within their gates. For about a year or so the govern ment has been busily engaged in sur veying and sounding in the Pacific ocean, with the principal object of determining the most reasonable route for a cable to connect this coun try with Hawaii and the Philippine isles. Many new and interesting matters have been discovered by these surveys, and a more compre hensive knowledge has been gained of the topography of a large part of the bottom of this ocean between those island groups. Last year, for example, a new submarine abyss, deeper than any hitherto known, was found, and for a while bottom could not be sounded. This year the spot, which has been named Nero Deep, was once more visited and sounded, i nd this time with better success, for bot tom was found, though at the enormous depth of 5,209 fathoms, 31,614 feet, or six miles, and it is of great extent. The czar of Russia has been giving the people such a strong government that he has to sleep in a room lined with boiler iron. But even this pre caution does not deter the would-be assassin, for ati officer of his own household attempted to take the czar's life this week, and failing, shot and killed himself. The czar of Russia, who has more power at his command than almost an.v other one man, has really less liberty than the meanest citizen. Those who carp against our government would do well to seriously consider that of any other country on earth All are im perfect, but ours is the best. - » • * — It is well that the people of the Willamette valley are beginning to talk again about manufacturing en terprises, and it would be better still if those who control capital would show their faith in their country and state by their own good works. We all realize that we are buying too much abroad that we ought to pro duce at home, but, alas, we are only sitting still and longing instead of helping ourselves. If we were not living in the most favored section on earth our necessities would compel us to help ourselves. As it is, we are able to exist from the abundance afforded by our productive fields. While partaking of this bounty from tables made in Chicago, we sit on chairs made in Indiana,and use dishes made in New Jersey. The biscuits are made with baking powder from New York, and shortened with lard from Missouri, cooked on a stove made in Kansas. We do our haul ing in wagons made in Ohio, and ride bicycles made in Massachusetts. Our wives sweep the floor with brooms made in Cincinnatti, and take up the dust in a pan made in Vermont, with a brush made in Rhode Island. We eat canned corn from Maine, and beans, peas and to matoes from Iowa. We buy plows made in Illinois, cultivators made in Michigan, hoes and rakes from Wis consin, and ax handles made in St. Louis. The possibilities of Oregon are great. Nearly all these articles could be produced here, from native materials. Then the cry of hard times and no money in circulation would cease to rend the air. fair to the service, as in all things requiring endurance, fortitude, and patient diligence, the guerrilla peri od has been pre-eminent. It is diffi cult for the non professional observer to understand that apparently des ultory work, such as has transpired in the Philippines in the past months, has demanded more of dis cipline and as much of valor as were required during the period of regular operations against the concentrated field forces of the insurrection. ” Fully to understand this statement of General MacArthur, it must be remembered that the 172 companies of infantry, thirty-six troops of cav alry, and eighteen batteries of artil lery in the Philippines have occupied in the last year 413 stations in the several islands. Each company or troop or batallion at any one station became a governing, organizing, su pervising unity. Each detachment was required to look after its own defenses, its own line of communica tions, as well as to suppress insur rection in its district or vicinity. Quite as important, each detach ment became a representative of the American system, influencing favor ably or unfavorably the natives toward A meriean control. Fortun ately, the influence exerted by the American troops in the 413 stations was of a character to make for peace and good order. Summing up the results, General MacArthur says: “It is a great privilege to speak warmly in respect to the importance of the service rendered day by day with unremitting vigilance by the splendid men who have upheld the interests of the republic without ad equate appreciation of the labors, hardships, and dangers thereby in curred." The rapid progress that- has been made in the Philippines in the last eight months—the submission of so many of the insurgent leaders, the surrender of so many of their follow ers, the organization of so many mu nicipal and provincial governments, is due in part to the men who are soon to be at home. It should be re membered to their credit that they have been not only officers and sol diers, but governors, treasurers, ad ministrators, keepers of the peace, and promoters of good feeling toward the United States.—Inter Ocean.
