KEADY FOR REPRESENTATIVE
republicans of Multnomah county have
nominated w. P. Ready for represen-
tative. There is not the slightest doubt
that he will be elected and his past ex-
perienee in the lower house will make
him a wheel horse next January.
Ready was formerly a Benton county
man and has a large number of friends.

No OFFICIAL ExHIBIT.-The world &
fair commission Of the state chamber OF
commerce has decided that Oregon
will not be represented officially and as
a state at the Columbian exposition
and unless private enterprise takes the
matter in hand there will be no move
ment made in the matter at all, with
the exception Of the state board of
horticulture, and even they are not abb
solutely confident of success in this
line. The cause for this official back
out is that the efforts and suggestions
made by the commission have failed to
enlist sufficient cooperation and finan-
cial support to warrant further effort
by the committee to this end, and be-
lievlng that if it is understood by the
people of the state that no further at
tempt will be made by the committee,
private enterprise, if heartily enlisted
in the works, may produce measurably
creditable results. They have, there
fore, made public announcement of
their withdrawal from further action in
respect to canvassing for contributions
for providing for such an EXHIBIT as
they have vainly labored to secure,
and relegate the work to private enter
prise, or to such organizations as may
be inclined to take part in SO desirable
an undertaking as the representation
of Oregon at the worlds Columbian
exposition.

A representative for a San Francisco
tailoring house took number of orders this
week from men in Roseburg for suits. The
Plaindealer believes little protective tariff
in the shape of licensing such agents by
the town would be good policy. There are
two tailoring establishments here, and they
pay their just proportions of school, county
and state taxes, while the San Francisco
house pays nothing. The same suggestion
would be applicable to Corvallis. The re-
cent experience of one of our prominent citi.
zens with an irresponsible travelling agent is
ample evidence that such men have no re-.
gard for their promises and representations
SO long as they get their money. The home
merchant has reputation at stake and as
rule will furnish such articles as you NAV
desire even if he does not carry them in
stock, at amore reasonable price than agents.
The merchants should be protected in all
legitimate enterprises.

PROBABLY AsoruEn CONVENTION

PROBABLY Another CONvENTIoN.-The
indications are that the peoples party mass
convention that was held in Salem on Fri
day had their work for nothing It will be
remembered that there were only sixty-one
advocates of this cause present at this con.
yention, which according to section 80 of
the Australian ballot Law was not sufficient
by thirty-nine members. A part of this
section says: San assembly of electors,
within the meaning of this act, is an or.
ganized body of not less than 100 electors of
the state or electoral divisions thereof for
which the nomination is made" This is
the law as made by the past legislature and
it cannot be construed differently In re.
gard to the prohibition state convention
held at Portland on Thursday where there
were only fifty persons in convention, the
Telegram says: "The new Australian bal.
lot law is likely to make trouble in the pro,
hibition camp. In fact, it has done so
already. The law nullifies the so-caIled
county convention which they held at the
Masonic hall on Wednesday of last week.
1t was not county convention because the
prohibitionists did not have warrant to
hold one as they did not poll their per cent.
OF the county electors in June, 1890.
Neither was the meeting an assembly Of
electors within the meaning of the law, as
there were not 100 electors present, only
hfty-two being enrolled. A ticket, how
ever, was not chosen that day, and the
meeting adjourned sine die, but before de-.
ing SO it empowered the committee to
make up ticket. In doing so it delegated
a power which it did not possess, on ac-
count of its own deficiency. The prohi-
bitionists now realize the situation they
are in. and steps are being taken to rectify
matters. 1t is not known when this will
he done, but Chairman Webster. of the
state committee, says that a full county
ticket will be nominated. A new conven-
tion is about the only way out of the diff
ficulty, and it will be called at an early
date, SO say those most interested

No Place for Daylight burglars.

Burglars who burgle in daylight in city
dwellings should try the bold experiment
in the country if they want to study social
conditions. 1t might be supposed that the
chances of detection would be overwhelm-
ing where policemen pace and the tide of
humanity is at the very doors. Yet these
conditions are safety itself compared to a
country neigh borhood where every moth
er's son would take notice of a stranger
seen near a dwelling, and every mothers
daughter would keep an eye on him, to
see and know Jest what was a-goin on"

pie mind each others business as if it were

Asked who he thought that man was,
