The Astornra eays'concerning thelrieh
fair just held in Portland : "The Irish
fair, recently held in Portland, wa not
a financial success by any means. Tbe
gross receipts were $5055. while the ex
penses aggregated $9403, 'leaving- a de
ificiency ot$I34S. The fair. was general
ly -considered, more or. less of a graft in
Portland, the impression being that 'it
oet-natbiog to get in, but a whole lot to
-come out. The manager is said to have
lost $2009."
Are we never to hear the last of this
word "graft?" Having been used by
Portland -papers in speaking of our leg
iejarture, -every paper in Oregon seems to
think it the only word in the dictionary,
and ecbos from all over, the state answer
"graft," in every available epace. While
we confess the Irish fair was a disap
pointment, it bad this in its favor it
wit given for a commendable purpose,
to erect a bonne for the aged, and it is to
be reifrettert that it was not a financial
euccees. No doubt these same people
who kick beeaoee their ideal was not re
alized have patronized many a "fake"
traveling show, epending more than
they did there, and seeing and bearing
much less, from those having no noble
object in view.
Let us be less critical regarding home
affairs, given, not to benefit those who
give their time and ttlent; but. for
"sweet charity's" sake, and reserve pur
