STRIKING 'OK IIKTTUK WAQI23.
The Journal recently replied to
the Alhauy Democrat, which cited
numerous strikes to show that pro
tection did uot help tho labor, that
the men were striking for increased
wages and that thoro was a vast
difference between striking for a
raise and striking ngainst a reduc
tion. Bradstreet's of April 25th says: "A
year ago it was stated that the coal
miners would, after the building
trades(nui8tly carpenters), demand
an eight-hour day. It Is slgnlficl-
cant that at several points at which
the movement was uppareutly de
feated a year ago employes have
since secured what was then asked
for.
Among favorable features has been
uoted the amicable settlement of
elght-hovr disputes at Chicago and
Indianapolis."
Probably a free trader will' admit
that rcduclugtho boursof labor from
ten to eight without any decrease of
wages is tho equivalent ofau actual
Increase of wages, but whether tho
free trader will conccdo this or not
the workiucmau knows it. Ho can
appreclato the gain to him ift tho
freo trader cannot.
If tho fucts could be known It
would bo shown that most of tho
strikers In this protective country
are aggressive movements for ad
vances in wages.

tho visit to this state. Under theso
circumstance?, It Is particularly uu.
(ortunnto for the state that tho na
turoofthe reception nt Seattle was
open to severe criticism. Wo sym
pathize with our Seattle friends In
their objections to tho management
of tho affair and trust that they may
be able properly to place tho cen
sure therefor. That Seattle Blioweu
to such very pdor advantage beside
Tacoma it Is uot creditable to that
city and is chiefly tho fault of the
gentlemen who arranged tho pro
gramme." Tho person referred to is a rcnouu
ced politician who lelt Iowa under a
cloud. As president of the State Ag.
riculturvl College he got Into trouble
with u student or rather got her
into trouble was forced from that
Institution, got his namo changed
by tho legislature; Influential friends
married him oil to an heiress, and
tho Western Union set him up with
a news monopoly at Seattlo In in

made him wealthier. Como west,

TIIIC MACK-NUMHKK PLAN.
The Oregonlan's plan of adopting
editorials from Eastern metropoli
tan papers has many advantugos.
It enables It to display a great deal
of learning while employing inex
pensive persons on the editorial
force. Its readers thus receive a
great literary benefit while its pay
roll Is kept at n small figure, us tho
cxpeuse of an editorial force to pro
duce original editorials is very law.
Its entorprlso in this direction Is
so refreshing that It is enabled to
comment unfavorably on moosback
legislation and a governor who,
whatever lapses ho has been guilty
I of. cannot be Hald to not bo
thoroughly original. Editorial
ability that relies on tho uso of
shears Is good enough for an unpro
gresslve, thinks the Orcgonlan.
There is nlso u vein of wise con
servatism in tho uso of borrowed
editorials. For unless a clipped
editorial has considerable merit and
is endorsed by readers of great
papers else vhero, It Is perfectly safe
for a great paper to uso it In Oregon.
The back-number plan has merit all
around. It is far more meritorious
than a rehash of tho Forum and
North American Review.

Tho failure of tho Now York leg
islature to make an appropriation
for an exhibit at tho World's Fair
will throw the bulk of expense of a
display for the Emplro State upon
the Hebrew clothing and jowolry
merchants of New York city. More
than half tho states In tho Union,
havo failed to muko any exhibit ap
propriations. M. 11. Do Young ad
dressed the California Btato Com.
mission Saturday. It will bo seen
from tho tenor of his remarks that
the Golden State will lay Itself out
for a mammoth advertisement. Mr.
Do Youug said:
"I nm uu advocate for a state
building; I always have been; we
uocd It for advertising purposes.
We want an unusual exhibit. Go
to a wheat-grower nnd get him to
plant his wheat so that It will be
high whon wo want It, and, tako his
highest stalks for the exhibition; so
with beets and other things, muko
tho exhibit tho biggest kind of nu
advertisement for tho slato of Cali
fornia wo have ever had. Close up
tho Miuing Bureau hero and trans
port tho whole thing museum offi
cers and employes to Chicago.
Thero tho men could care for tho
muBcum, and after tho fair bring it
buck. Wo can lutroduco a bill In
tho leglslatnro to effect that. We
wauta great lumber exhibit, planks
as long as we can got thorn from our

exhibits of wines, fruits, wool and
othor things. Wo should have a
map of California, big as can he
made, hung up on tho wall, with the
productsofdifleroutcountlcsmurked
with tho county lines. Wo should
have a characteristic Cullfornln
building with a glass nnnox in
which should bo grown all kinds of

TIIK VOl'UkATION OV FOLK CO,
The Oregonlan of Saturday says:
"Tho number of children enrolled
In tho public schools of the stuto of
Washlncton in 1800 was 54,432; In
the state of Orecou. 63,254. In 1890
the stato of Washington throw 64,
803 votes In election of member of
congress; in 1800 tho stato of Ore
gon throw 73,205 votes in election of
member of congress. Yet In the
United Btutcs census mudo tho pop
ulation of Oregon less in 1800 than
the population of Washington. Tho
census, as taken in Oregon, was a
farce and a fraud.
Uuder the official census Polk
county had less than ten thousand
population. If the above propor
tions, based on tho school popula
tion, are correct, Polk county must
hare over ten thousand population.
Tho towns in that county have
uearly flvo thousand and five tlioua
and furm population Is a very small
estimate about 1000 families. Polk
easily has 10,000.
