Divers Portland persons aud Port hind newspapers are exerting them-M-lves to raise a world's fnlr fund, so thatOregou may not be disgraced In the eyes of the world. They as sume and with some propriety that Portland must bear a lending part In the matter. As tho metropolis of a large state such assumption is not a violent one. Still the well meant efforts of the Portland persons und papers do not prosper. The rest of the state will not rally to suoli plans, howsoever well-tneaulug they may be. There is a natural feeliug of jealousy nt Portland as suming to plan for the welfare of all Oregon. Oregonlaus refuse to be patronized even by their own big well-meaulug offspring. They do dn not oject to Portland piny lug the heroic part of beariug tho major ex pensoof tho exhibit at Chicago, as they do not object to Multnomah county paying half the taxes of the Willamette valley. But they do object to cashing up for an enter prise based upon an assumption of doing somethlug for tho wholo peo ple of tho state, which Is pretended they are not intelligent, enterprising and patriotic enough to do for them selves. If Oregon is to havo an ex hibition at the world's fair, let it be an exhibit or all Uregou peoplo are capable of, If Oregon is to have a building at the Chicago world's fair let it be a structure all Oregon has a hand in erpctiug. But all Oregon is not going to put up $100,000 In coin, by subscription or taxation, for an exhibition to be handled by a few gentlemen or hlredmen at Port lnud. All Oregon will put up for all Oregon, when a plan to embrace all Oregon Is proposed. A plan for a few manipulators to embrace all Oregon will never work. Oregon will not bo embraced in that way. Our noble state has been squeezed too many times to make a holy show of Itsolf ou this occasion. Pre sent a feasible plan to represent all Oregon aud tho people will work up to It with enthusiasm. Tho people of Oregon are not different from the people of other states excopt that they maybe more long-sulleriug aud more easily bled by selfish schemers. They are generous to a fault. In the past ten years the population lias been nearly doubled by additions from tho eastern states. The new-comers as well as old-comers aud the native Oregoulau will wel come any feasible plan to linve Oregon make as good or even a bet ter Hhow at Chicago as any of the newer northwestern states. These states have a peculiar interest In showing thelrselves in their best attire at the world's fair. They should and will show themselves and Oregon will not bo behind the rest. But it never will bo done on any stand aud deliver plan. It will bo done if at all by arousing the gensrous enthusiasm of all the people. A commission of llveshould bo created in each county by tho countv court. Let that commission bo orgnnlzo for voluntary contribu tions of money and products. Let it plan for that county so that all the best products aud specialties can lie got together. Let tho chairman of all the county commissions como together as a state world's fair com mission. Let eacli county report how many carloads It will deliver to send to Chicago at a certain time. Let tho state commis sion send a committee to the legislature witli au estimate of what tho freight will bo to send the whole collection to Chicago; also what it will cost to put up a build ing to jroperly display It there. The legislature will not hesitate lo appropriate enough money to for ward and display an actual exhibit. It will never willingly appropriate a lump sum to be used no one knows how. But If the several counties of this state will make up their own collections of tiie products lu which each county excels, tho taxpayers will not object to sending 11 at the expense of tho state, DKUOCIMTIO TAUirF UKKOKHKJ18, The Democratic papers are ex plaining why the eastern Democrats did not come to the rescue of Gov. Campbell In his now historic can vass of the stale of Ohio for re election against McKlnley. The Portland Telegram, Dem., says: Hlncrt tlit ilffffit if ('amiibell In Ohio some of the leading Democrats in mat state nave oeeu iuukiiik imifl iviiitnlalntH hIh.qI the neirfect of eastern leader in the late campaign. Willie aiejviniey was muvu, nicy uv. with able sneakers from other states, and with unlimited funds contributed by the benenelonea or IIim tiltrh. tariff Ihh. Camnbell WHS left to fight bis baitlet almoit alone. It teems CampMJ did not have enough financial support to pay ofllce rent and postage bills at his' campaign headquarter, neveianu, fV Hill, Briee, nor nuy of tho galaxy of star Democratic orators lu the east could afford a special day in Ohio, while MoKinley had tho sup port of hundreds of the best speak era of the Republican parly of the whole nation. Tho kid-glove Demo crats of tho east had bushels of money to send a special train of tariff reform orators to the Pacitlo coast during the same tlmo that Campbell was loft to struggle heroically aloue In aplvotal stnto vhlch two years before he had carried by overwhelming vote. Campbell himself explains tho ab sence of tho eastern Democratic snell-hhiders lu this way: "The silver plank kept many of them away from Ohio." If they wanted to subordinate the silver question why did they not get in mid defeat McKlnley? In the west these Democratic orators said to tho people: "Destroy the tarltf; tho tariff is ttie great iniquity; never nilntl everything else; tho tariff must bo destroyed I" In. Ohlo,wher'o tho prince of tariff leaders was in tho field, making tho fight of his life against as puro a Democrat as overlived, these same Democratic leaders had nothing to say to tho people. They had not ovon tlmo to go to Ohio and make a seech. Thoy did not care a cent how big a majority Ohio rolls up for McKiuley. Thoy had no money for Ohio. Half the mouoy spent to bring tho kid glove Wall Street Democratic orators (,0 the Pacillo coast would havo given Campbell all tho lluauclal aid ho would have needed. But it was not forthcoming. The truth is the Democratic party cannot bo united on au aggressive tarifl policy. Thoy are great reformers lu farming states, lu manufacturing districts they elect McAdoos, or Randalls. In New York they send tho ptotectlon Democrat Hill to the senate. In Louisiana they elected Democrats who always defeated free sugar. In this respect Is tho record of tho Republican party not far less assail able? It can agree on a pulley and stand by It. It has enacted the last two tarlir bills squarely upon tho issue presented by It In its platforms lo tho people. It has oularged the free list. It has given us freo sugar. It has given us reciprocity tooulargo our foreign markets. It comes more nearly being a practical tariff reform party than any other. Tim convict i.aiiou ruom.isn, Tin: JouiiNAti dislikes to put any publlo uowspapor on record as favor ing tho placing of convict labor in competition with freo!alor,or,to put It otherwise, the giving of t ho crimi nal who lias temporarily forfeited ills right as n citizen n preference over tho law-abiding worklugmttn and taxpayer. A worthy exchange says: We bellevo tho employment of convicts in state improvements, in building aud ditching aud fencing and roadmaklug aud all sorts of Iiti provments about stato institutions, is about as tiuobjectlonabloa method of employment as can bo devised. It reduces tho cost to taxpayers of maintaining these institutions; It ac complishes much work that other wise tho state would not feel ablo to havo performed. The fault with this lies In the fact that it is not true. No one can show that the stato taxes havo ever been reduced a mill by this pro cess Just as much money Is called for by each legislature. Just as much is appropriated by each legislature. Ou no appropriation bill, estimate, or legislative report does there appear an Item of deduc tion because of work to bo done by convict labor. In no other pio gresslve state is any such system followed as here. Yet tho taxes In other states are quite as low as taxes lu Oregon aud their Institu tions are not Inferior. Tho theory that the gratuitous working of bands of 'xuivlots at the dlflereut state In stitutions is a saving to tho tax payer cannot 1)0 established. Kveu If it could It would not bo Justifia ble. Because the convict contract labor system cannot be Justified on the theory of apparent economy to tho taxpayer. But lu all Oregon political platforms it Is denounced. Gratuitous convict competition with freo labor caunot lie Justified finan cially, morally, or otherwUe, Both the contract ami gratuitous system are otjectloiinblo and should be abolished, say the people. Tjib Jouhnai.'h position Is per fectly clear on this subject. It be lieves the stato does a great wrong In allowing a convict to work a single day at state Institutions where the work done Is necessary and should be mid out of the wage fund of labor. The state lias no right whatever to have a single day's work done by a convicted criminal that should go to employ a mechanic or worklngmau. The state now, when It appropriates money to build a state institution, goes into mp enterprise on this plan: "Employ only a few men to do such work as wo do not btt)jH;H lo have convicts on nana to uo 11 witn.auu union the rest with our unemployed con vict." That Is the method work. Ingmeu object to. The state mutt And work for Its convicts In addition to the wage fund of labor. It has 00 rlbt to lake bread out of the mouths of workingmen and their families by thus working the oouvlcU, The Highest of all in Leavening Power.

Senator Keltou nnd Collector of Internal Revenue John C. Quluu called at tho Whlto house Saturday and had a chat with tho president concern ing the scat of the Republican na tional convention. Tho president was In a degrco noncommittal, but said that If tho national commttteo should decide to hold n convention nt San Francisco ho would bo well enough satisfied with tho choice. Ho then wont on to praiso Sau Francisco, and complimented hor peoplo In the highest terms. Presi dent Harrison found no fault with auy cities mentioned for tho con vention, but said that for various reasons Now York would not ho as suitable n placo us somo others named. The utmost good feelings prevails betweou tho western cities seeking tho convention. Especially is this Into among tho San Frat Cisco, Omaha and Minneapolis dele gations. Tho good feeliug between delegates of these cities is reciprocal, and each one declares that the con vention should go to tho far west. In fact, It Is conceded that It wilt not bo held cast of Chicago. Tho California headquarters pre sented an animated appearance in striking contrast to tho Boborucos of Friday. Tho California wlno has arrived, llkewlso tho fruit. Tho rooms aro tastofully trimmed lu flowers and overgroons. Tho othor headquarters aro likewise ornc mnnted. California believes In patronizing home Industries. Under tho head of "Frisco Way Up" tho Evening Star says: "Just at this tlmo Sau Francisco stock is away up. What ever tho reason may he, It Is undoubtedly n fact that Call fornlans aro moro confident, so far as speech goes than nuy of the other applicants." WANT Tlin CONVENTION, Washington, Nov.2.1. Members of the Nebraska delegation now in Washington for (he purpose of urg ing tho selection of Omaha m tho placo of the next Republican con vention, called In a body baturday morning and paid their respects to the president. Tho visitors wero cor dially received, but wore tiuablo to persuade tho president to express a prefcrouco for (heir city. Members of the delegation from Minneapolis calledlater in tho day, but wero equally unsuccessful in causing the president to commit himself. Tho New York City delegation reached hero Saturday afternoon, upwards of one hundred men, representing Republican clubs of the city of Now York, hotel men's associations, gen eral citizens' committee and others. They havo headquartors at tho Arlington, and are working hard. Minneapolis Is making a urand rush for (he convention. California Is making a splendid show, under tho guidance of Editor Do Youiig, of the Sau Francisco Chronicle, and Omaha's Is being vigorously present ed by Editor Ilosowator, of tho Dee. Col, Jllethou of Minneapolis, review ing tho situation, said tho West ob jects to New York, believing that no political aid could como from hold li'g convention la New York, The West believes thut If the convention is held lu tho Mississippi or Missouri river valleys, It would glvo tho re publican cause t great aid, Insure an absolute control of the Western and Northwestern states even to the reclamation of Iowa, but the West just us radically believes that to hold the convention In New York Is to surrender to Wall street. Whlio this Is a peculiarity, so far as tho actual effect Is concerned, every man here frojn Minneapolis, Omaha or Sau Francisco bald that liletheti would swear It would 00U the repuh licans of (he MUaMppI und Mis souri from one-quarter to one-third of the granger vote, which simply means defeat lu Iowa, Minnesota, Kiusas, and doubtful results lit Wis coiialu mid Montana. Uluthen thinks these arguments aro having effect with the committee. Min neapolis, Omaha, and Sau FruncUco aro empluitlo for one ballot, thero imvlug been, said Jliethen, a rumor (hat tho committee I discussing (ho propriety of a secret ballot. This (ho Wt construes to bo In favor of New York. All the contoatauti uy with Much couddeucu that they havo every reason to believe their
