All the efforts Of the few level headed men
who have Identified themselves with the
Cincinnati convention seem to be devoted
just now to keeping the convention from do.
Ing anything. Their feeling evidently is that
II the convention gets loose 1t will do
something so wild-headed and rash as to en-
tirely destroy its influence Such gather
Ing OF homogeneous elements was never be-
lore seen in this country. There are Ma
tlonalists, and Socialists, farmers and
Knights of Labor. Greenbackers and hard
money men, railroad employees, single tax
people and low tariff men, and the represen-
tatives of great many other underlined and
undefnable isms. Originally the Farmers
Alliance held aloof from the gathering, but
latterly they have apparently gone into it
with the hope of controlling it to the extent
at least of keeping 1t from firing off the wild
vagaries which are the stock In trade of its
constituent parts. 1t is a big job and it is by
no means certain that the Alliance will be
equal to its accomplishment.
1t is too ealry yet to predict the outcome
Of the convention. but the proceedings of
some of the State delegations, notably those
Of Ohio and Kansas, show that there is a
strong faction that wants to cut loose en-
tlrely from the old parties and set up BUSH
ness on their own account. This the Far
mers' Alliance does not want done at pres
ent-not necessarily because 1t is opposed to
the creation of a.third party. but because If
one is to be created 1t wants to lead off lin

the more 1t will be likely to gather into its own

1t more difficult to gather them in if it de-
cides to start out on an Independent move

working to keep these elements as disorgan-
lied as at present
OF course at such a gathering the dema-
gogical element would naturally be large.
and an inspection of the personnel of
the convention shows it present in great
abundance. These men have no higher pur-
pose than to use the gathering for their own
selfish ends, but their. lends are SO diverse
and In many ways so antagonistic that none
OF them appear likely to accomplish any,
thing.
That the convention will discover or for
mulate any remedies, except quack ones,
for the diseases which 1t believes the coun-
try to be afflicted with, is out of the ques-

City Expenditures.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Considering the great increase In state tax
Portland is called on to pay this year, and
henceforth, our citizens have good right to
expect from the city fathers the most rigid
economy and retrenchment In expenditures
wherever possible. The mark to be reached
is not that the rate of our taxation should
stand as last year but the gross amount of
the tax. including the increased state and
county taxes, shall not be In ,excess of last
year. This could be reached with good man.
agement; by curtailments here and there: a
lowering of some salaries; stopping many
spigot expenses; refraining from adoption of
new notions and inventions, which in time
generally prove useless and are discarded:
an exercise OF patience in the laudible
ambition to make public improvements a
sacrihce OF individual notions of what should
be done and yearnings to ''do something; a
constant scrutiny OF the manifold drafts up
on the city purse for little and large ''jobs":
and especially by frugality in operations
upon our streets and public grounds, and in
street lighting. Portland should assuredly

no condemnation at the City Hall. although
nothing and nobody is really suffering for
want of what the larger half of that appro-
priation would be used for,-except perhaps
the poor beasts that drag heavy loads over

will approve of the removal of those fortunes
as soon as consistent with not excessive

vote whetherto spend $4,000 of it for granite
paving, or to make over the high school
building, leaving the other $4,000 for
streets-what would be the result? Which
would be wiser? Would street paving pre-
vail over health? To spend so much money
on streets this year as proposed would be
simply outrageous. G.

union of Deering and Portland for two wears

the necessity of providing some better way
