MITCHELL OF OREGON.
What Is Thought Of Him by Some Of the
Leading CalifOrnians.

A special correspondent of the Port
land (Ore.) News has interviewed sew
eral of the leading men of California,
to obtain their opinion Of United
States Senator Mitchell, Of Oregon.
Captain Merry, Vice President OF
the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce, said: 81 don't know him per.
sonAlly, hnt l do know that he is an
uncommonly good man for the Sen.
ate. l recolIeet what he did when he
was there before. | know how he
stands among public men, what he
did for his own State, and the Pacific
coast, and Pm just as glad as | can be
to see him get back. He's The right
man, able and active, and will do the
country some good"
81 suppose you know he has been
strongly condemned, and that bitter
contest has been waged:"
"Yes, l know that; but that don't
have particle of effect on me. It's
so in every contest. All strong men
have great opposition on account OF
their very strength. Such men as
Randall and Carlisle, for instance,
have to wade through these things ev.

are easy gong, don't call out such op'
position. Without the least hesitan.
cy, l say l consider Mitchell the best
man that could have been elected"

Governor Perkins, at the Office OF
Goodall, Perkins 4 Co., "that | am

thinking of sending him long tele'

ton. ] nave had good deal to dc
with Mitchell. During the last eight
or ten years we have had occasion t.
communicate with various Congress
men at Washington, and we have
found Mitchell little more prompt il
answering our letters, and little
more courteous than any Of the rest o.
them. He has been particularly so
Anything of interest to the people o
the coast from Alaska to Mexico ha
always found champion in Mitchell
He gives little prestige to Oregon

he's a terrible good man tor the Pa

THE KAESAS EXHIBIT.

From the New Orleans Times Demo-
Graf we learn that the finishings are be-
ing put to the Kansas display, which
present some very striking features. In
the center of the space monument sur
mounted by a colossal figure of Ceres
towers on high, drawing attention to the
exhibit from all parts Of the building.
The goddess carries in one hand a reap
ing hook, and on the other arm is
shield displaying an inscription extol-
ling the merits Of Kansas. The pedestal
| is ornsmentei with grains and grasses in
various arrangements and geometrical
designs, and two huge buffalo heads
stand out on either side, At the base are
open sacks of corn, wheat and other
| grains. The whole structure is 40 feet
nigh and is one of the important points
of interest IN the building. The tall
monument of Dakots, with the Amerl-
can eagle at the apex, the pillar of Min
nesota with the statute of Liberty en-
Tightening the world" and the bounti-
fol Ceres of Kansas, form a monument
trio of striking effect.
The various plane surface of the struc-
lures in the Kansas exhibit are covered
with Inscriptions relative to the agrlcul-
tural industry OF Kansas, the population
of the state, its wealth, its school fund
which, by the way, amounts to sos, 600,
600, and others of a general nature. One
of the latter, which has excited much
comment, reads as follows: Egypt, il
all its glory, could not compete with
Kansas in the quality and quantity of it
, corn. If Joseph were alive he woulC
telegraph his brethren to come
to Kansas on the first train" Cottor
and sugar, the latter made from sor-
ghum, fill corresponding positions o
two sides of the monument. A large
screen displays on one side magnifi

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
The very full account of the senate
proceedings of the Kansas legislature,
for which we are indebted to the excel

monwealth of Friday, will be found in.
teresting and instructive reading.
The senate occupied its time in
a very FULL discussion Of
the matter of constitutional
convention and continues the same SUBJ
ject to-day. While it Is not believed
that constitutional convention will be
called: the benefits 10 accrue from
1t are not believed to overbalsnce the
objections; ana the demand for 1t now
seems confined to a minority of the peo
pie of the state, we think the discussion
of the matter is timely. The people
ought to be thoroughly Informed on the
defects of our present instrument'and bC
led to an understanding of the best way
of amending or revising it. If the needed
remedy can be applied without TIT
Intervention of the constitutional cOnven

will greatly tend to acquain
