THE WORLDS FAIR.
Every County in California Ought to be
Represented.

from the s. F. Spirit of the Timesl
We have but one object in view in the
ideas we advance in connection with the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, and that the alb
solute success of California in all she under
takes in connection with the great exposi-
ton. To US it does not weigh as feather
who manages the arrangements necessary
to give the State standing at Chicago. So
long as they bring back the glorious form
of California, with the word success adorn.
ing her brow. There are plenty able, intel
hgent and patriotic men within her borders
who can accomplish so great adesideratum.
Men who, having the interests of the State
at hearr, would faithfully, honestly and
Loyalty do their duty in the different posi-
tons they might be called upon to fill. As
paramount consideration, California
should be represented as WHOLE and also
III the respective parts which contribute to
make up her great domain. To arrange a
box of oranges in one place. cartoon of
raisins in another, a box of prunes in an
other, lines and lemons in another, q jar of
olives in another, and so on ad infnitum
and say these are the products of California
would be very fine in theory but not in
practice, for by so doing the very object in
view would be frustrated. To properly
represent California on this great occasion
each and every county in the State should
present distinctive display, and thus at
tention would be attracted to them in pro.
portion to their merits. Each county
should be endowed with space sufficient to
show exactly what her advantages are, and
she should also be represented be some
intelligent person able to absorb and impart
information, and thus explain the desirable.
ity OF her soil and climate for the raising of
Snrh nrndnrfc trib ,,ta TO-
of those who till her acres and those who
labor for the urpcse of an income.
Since county exhibits have been added
to our several fairs as objects of attraction
and high premiums, great interest has
been manifested by all classes and every
effort 10 excel has been made by those
coming into competition. And at the
Worlds Fair in the game of competition,
so far as California was concerned. she
could strive for the glory of the best ex-
hibit SIS State, and the counties could
compete for supremacy as between them
selves Each county exhibit should be
provided with ten-foot square map, upon
which lis topography should be clearly de-
flned. A map showing mountain, hill,
dale. plain, river, creek and rivulet, so that
every question relative to its different
situations and capacity could be properly
and promptly answered, and with honesty
and fairness. In the display that Califor-
MIA will make as State, she will do so by
and with the aid of the counties of the
State, and, therefore, each county con-
tributipg should receive the full need of
praise and advantage of her contribution.
OF the fifty three counties of the State we
do not believe there is one county not in a
position to display some advantage worthy
of national notice and commentator, and,
therefore, we again say, we hope each and
every county in the State will, without de-
lay, consider the part California is to take
in the Worlds Fair, and by their own
local interest in the great event contribute
to the enduring success of the State.
