Building HBieroa at the postoflice nttalein,0r.103 econd-clnB roatttr. Tnr. convict labor, question. We always llko to print all tlint can bo said for a weak subject. The Portland Telegram says: "Wo de- elro no convict contract werk: wo believe no state should encourage It; but if tho etnto can employ convicts to do necessary and valuable work iu such wayras mentioned, it is the very best solution of the problem. No other solution is ottered by the Capital city paper, although wo asked for It. It would not have tho nonvlcts idle; yet would not have them come In any competition with free labor. It has not attempted to solve this problem because It cannot. If there Is nuy reasonablo attack to be made, it should be ou the con tract system now in vogue. The ditches, fences and stockades tho prisoners build do not hurt free labor very much, because if tho prisoners did not do it much of It would go undone, or if dono by free labor tho state would have to pay for it, as the appropriation bill would show; but when convicts aro employed to make stoves at 30 or 40 .cents a day, they cenie in direct competition with free labor." Since the above criticism was mado The Journal has suggested away to employ the convicts. This wholo controversy did not grow out of tho proposition to abolish the con tract system. That was virtually decided upon at tho election of 1800 In Oregon, when both parties put planks In their platform to that ofl'ect. It was understood that tho matter would not come up until tho legislature olected in 1692 should meet, as tho contracts would not ex pire till then, As that legislature is 'noon to be elected, it is not too soon to begin discussion of tho subject. and the press of tho wholo stato is taking up tho subject. What The Journal discussed raoro particu larly was tho working of bands of convlcts.,fibout tho dlflorent state institutions, not under contract, but gratuitously and to tho detriment of ,freo labor. These bauds aro com posed of "trustees," iu reality tho aristocracy of tho state's prison. For Instance a politician was sent up to Salem.frpm Southern Oregon for stealing cattle. By request of some kind political friend he was at onco put on the trusty list aud each day will count for two. Ho will not be worked under contract. Tho trus ties are all a favored clas3. Thoy aro the gentlemuu of tho pen. They aro furnished tobacoo by the stato and aro worked about tho stato institutions. Somo of them aro mechanics, and nearly every trade is represented. The Journal belloves alt able bodlud men sent to the stato prison should be put at as hard work as tho men In the. contract works are. Only It would be better If all tlio men could bo put to workout of doors. What The Journal believes on this matter can bo summed up thus: The convicts should nil ho worked at tho samo grado or manual labor and as much out of doors as possl siblo. They should not displace freo labor, by being workod gratuitously about stato Institutions, or at the contract system after the declar ations made In Oregou's political platforms. FKKK THADK IS KNOI-ANI), Free traders will derive but cold comfort from tho recent utterances of the Marquiu of Salisbury, (ho Prime Minister of Great Britain and tho leader of the Conservative party. Hehaa just made two speeches at Birmingham, ono of which, In ref erence to protection and English ag riculture. Tn his speech he palu that on nil pldes there appeared constantly In preaslrig protective duties calculated to Htlfle Urltlsh trade. Tho pro lection heresy upon which tarlifr were fouuded gnur, like other evil pashlODH, upon what It fed. Watching English statistics he pould not but feel an anxiety lest the t-florU of foreign protectionist should bo jmrllally succesuful. The prrora of foreign statesmen might U translated to Great IJrlthui. Un doubtedly British trade was being jilndered for the moment by foreign jeglslbtloti, When n BrltUti Premier allude liUh&Muifcdoy to JJrltlib agrlcnl jurot being Impoa-lble without pro tection and tq BnlMi (rode being hindered by the protective policy of other couutrli-s it I useless for him to cull protect Ipti a heresy, 'flies Iwospeochos were ss certainly ex perimeolsKokee how lh country would rewire the Idea of returning to a protective policy m though he b&d declared liltmwlftt protectionist lq advance. WOOL TAIUPK.KTO. The Journal is "In favor of freo trado iu sugar, but favors high pro tection for wool. Sugar is a pouthern product and wool is said to bo main ly a northern product. Therefore The Journal is in favor of free trado In southern products and high protection for northern products. However arrived at, this latter is n, deep seated truth. Albany Demo crat.

But It hopes suit tho people pretty woll. to Wo bellovo the Capital Jour nal struck tho nail squarely ou tho head when It demanded last week that the system of placing criminal labor from tho penltepttury in com petition with freo clttzons, should bo abolished. Newberg Graphic. Tho vast nmuunt of talk about Oregon not having mado an appro priation for tho world's fair la really a compliment to Oregon. Oregon Is of Bomo consequence.

Tho election of circuit Judges iu all Oregon districts is ono of tho most Important features of the elections of 1802.
