Govornor Chamberlain has so far succeeded In administering tho affairs of tho Oregon state prison In a man ner satisfactory to the public. He had to put tho Institution Into order, Install a new force of ofllclals, .rnprovo Its sanitary conditions and mako substantial changes for tho bet tor. Ho had to accomplish theso things without harshness, and without pro tending to bo able to reform every thing In a minute, or to get nlong without mistakes. . His policy of showing grentor hu manity to tho prisoners, Improving tholr conditions, making tholr colls clcanor, giving thorn bettor food, and loss, stringing up by tho thumbs and lashing. Tho governor's recent utterance in favor of building moro stato roads. and making loss stoves. Is on tho lino of humanity, and In tho truo Interest of tho taxpayer. Convict labor, at 35 cents a day, to enrich a prlvato corporation, has been about tho extent of legislative wisdom on this subject. Tho governor snys take thoso men out, nnd lot thorn build soma good stato roads. Tho govornor has not boon accus- tomod to making any changos In the prison for political reasons. Some of tho Republicans who quit askod to bo rolloved, or thoy would bo thoro to this day. Republicans put In by former ad ministrations aro still kept on tho payrolls.

Qonoral Porflrlo Dlnz is serving his sixth term as President of Mexico. Ho has been nominated for tho soventh term by a convention of Na tional Liberals. This, It Is understood Is not In nccordanco with tho wishes of Presldont Diaz, nor with his politi cal plans. Ho Is now soventy-threo years old. Ho has boon actlvo In pub lic llfo for ovor fifty years and when ro-olectod President In 1900, ho plan ned to resign boforo his sixth torra oxplred, so thnt undor tho Constitu tion ono of his cablnot might bo oj ectod President by Congress. Early in 1902 It wns announcod that Diaz would rotlro from ofllco when m work of tho Pnn-Amorlcan congress) had boon completod or that ho would announce his dotormlnntlon not to servo nnothor torm.

This Is a doctrine .of continuity In office peculiar to Mexico undor Diaz. He como Into powor as a military hero. He was elected to tho Presl dency In 187C, becaiiBo of his patriot ism, his courage, his prowoss In war and his romantic caroor. Ho retired In 18S0. because the constitution pre vented his ro-electlon and because the peoplo wanted him. So groat was the need of such a man at the head of the nation that tho Constitution Was amonded that ho might bo continued In onlao. He has been Prosldent twenty-three years.

Today marks tho 32d annlvorsary of tho great Chicago flro. It Is also a day when the "old settlers" of tho Westorn metropolis gather Into big and llttlo groups and recount their thrilling experiences on that memorablo October 9. 1871. whon a whirlwind of Home swept for miles through tho city of 334.000 Inhabl- tants, causing a monetary loss ap proximating 1200,000,000, rendering tens of thousands of persons home less and poverty-stricken and leaving tho charred remains of hundreds In Its -wake. Tho origin of the grealfflro has bean traced lndlreotly to tho 111-tomper 'of an ordinary milch cow "Mrs. O'Loa- rys cow," asIt is now colebratod in tho annals or Chicago history. This cow was kept in a twostory frame earn in tno roar of a modest dwelling at No. 137 Do Koven street, on the southwost sldo of tho city. Shortly nftor 9 p. m. on Sunday, Octobor 8, fiamos woro discovered Issuing from the O'Loary barn. Thoso Who at tempted to oxtlngulsh tho blnzo In tho barn tostlflod to finding a kero sono lamp shattered Into pieces with- In range of tho cow's heels.

By midnight the flames had swept across tho south branch of tho Chicago rlvor and eaton Into tho business hoart of tho city. Tho mayor romalned In tho court houso as long as It was tonablo. This was tho suprom'o momont of dlsnstor. for that building had been tho storehouse, and was now the tomb of tho public records.
