The republicans of Clackamas count have a strong combination of forces to com bat this year. Much of the "reform" sen timent of the state has cryatalized here and the disposition to combine the discordant elements into one "opposition" movement against the republicans is strong. As was indicated some time ago by the Enterprise the democrats will fuse with the farmers' alliance or people's party and by raising a j great cry for economy and reform the com bined forces Iioie to carry the election against the republicans. The prohibition ists are neither strong enough to go it alone nor broad enough to attract allies, so their agitation has small effect. The state conventions of the larmers' alli ance and the jwople's party held this week in this city are calculated to have much ef fect on the coming election in Clackamas county. They are expected to arouse the enthusiasm of the jieople to a pitch that will enable them to appreciate the grinding oppression that the wicked republican ad ministration lias fastened upon them. These conventions are expert in manufacturing grievances that the people never thought of. There is another menace to the republi can party in Clackamas county. It is the over-confidence of its members in its strength in the face of all sorts of legitimate and illegitimate opposition. This over confidence is likely to lead republicans to be careless of that unity that is everywhere an essential to success. A division of forces must result in defeat. Our political enemy appreciates this fact and it forms a coaliliun so as to mass the opg)sition in one body. It has already commenced bush whacking tactics that ought to place republicans on their guard. Kepublicans cannot indulge in factional strife or in personal wars with tiny hope of winning ut the polls. The republicans of Clackamas county are in good condition for carrying on a vigorous campaign and achieving a successful issue. But they must not be blind to the strength of the opposition nor to the danger that lies in intornal disoord. fhaslntf rainbow I harmless amusement, hut when ulnnjr wlmncing politicians iniro!

Last week with its usual regard for truth and consist ency it spoke of the EsTKiirBisE as "the Captain's aailngist.'' And, after admitting that it licit two week's previous, it ramble oil' talking about the hatching of chickens and tbc ridicule of men and goats. Men do not agree with the Courier. We are not authorized to sja'ak for the goats. OttEitON City respectfully begs leave to present its claim to the sonorous title of " Convention City." The state fanners' al liance convention was held here Monday and Tuesday, and V cdnesday the delegates of the tropic's party met here in stale con vention. Monday the county grange was in session at the court house. Of course all the various county conventions are held here. Francis Murphy is holding meetings here this week and two prohibitionists arc also conducting an onslaught on Bacchus. Then, there was a special council meeting Monday night. It is a little odd that every time there is a contest in the Grand Armv forces over the election of a commander the fellow who has the support of the olliceri as against the rank and file always comes out ahead. There are mighty few old soldiers left w ho were not at least as high as captain. The farmers can enter a talking match with any of them. A windier convention was never held in Oregon than that of the people's party this week. JKKET OF MKMCT.NK LOME. Memphis Appeal-Avalanche: How would Jerry Himpson and Ilclva Lock wood do for the third-party ticket? Detroit Tribune: When we reflect that Jerry Simpson might have announced himself as a presidential candidate his in dorsernent of Ihe Weaver boom seems al most reasonable. Louisville Courier-Journal : Congressman Simpson thinks there is no excuse for an army in this country. Does he suppose that the present pension business is enough to last us? Minneapolis Tribune: Jerry Simpson protends to believe that the people's party will carry Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota at the November election. Jerry doesn't know what a revival of com mon sense there has been in the west since he and I'eH'cr begun cutting up their gro tesque capers at Washington. Their sam ples of people's party statesmanship have been examined and the people don't cure for any more of the goods.

The followers of the cross are trying in every slate of the union to compel our state schools to become subservient to religion, and in some places have succeeded in gain ing control of the schools, and have placed priests and preachers therein ns leather to the exclusion of secularists, The Innate hatred of the church to the Hag is fairly il lustrated by an incident which recently took place in the Hast. A inomlierofthe ti. A, I!, died. Ilia com rades wrapped his oottln with the stars and stripes and proceeded to the church of which their dead comrade was a member, and In compliance with his request to have the ofticiate there iwrfonn the funeral rites. lid he bid them welcome?

Hut who is to blame for this condition of attairs? Kirst, the people are to blame for cringing More a power that would crush them down, in that they invite religion to "grace" their political convention, ami to oin our statu schools, and to "begin the oral exercise for the celebration of Hie Fourth ol July with prayer; all of which is wrong, and will lead, it carried out, to re ligious domination. In the second place, i the clnm li is to blame for intruding where I it has no right. The constitution of Ort- p,n article I, section 1, say that all .Hwtr inherent in the people, meaning of course, iower tor governmental pur power poses; consequently an apjaal to a power supposed to be greater than the power of 'i,f lHll le, is contrary to the foundation In former times there was a contention in the eastern world between the cross and the crescent. The cross became the strongest power, and for a longtime kingdoms have been the servants if the cross. Hut the llcligion should ask no favors of the state other than the right to exist in corir.ue bodies, and to be protected in that right. With these (aver if religion has merit it will live. If not, let it die. IV. I'llll.l.ll'S. (IO0II Ittl.VUS AM) riMLIKI) LIKK. The Koad IJiiestion One or the Most Important in Natlunal Cllilizaliuli. The importance of the wheel ns a factor in civilized life has laen well epitomized in the following extract: " I'o you know that the wheel is the connecting link between barbarism and civilization, Kiverty and wealth; that by it the world moves, and UMn it all great work de'iids? Do you know that the horse which staggers with 'iiO Hiuiids uiKin his back trots oil' easily with on,,, ,mmi, loaded on wheels? Io you know that if you were chained to Nil lauiiids of iron in the form of a culie you would die if bread was but one-eighth of a mile oil'? that in a cask you could roll 2.m pounds around the earth? Do you know that every time yon step you lilt your weight (say loo pounds) one inch, which added up, makes a lot at the cud of Ihe day V that on a bicycle you can go farther, faster, aud easier in the same time? Take the wheel from the locomotive and oue-hulf the world's industry would die. Kemove it Irom the car, carriage, and factory, and the wealth of the world would dwindle nine tenths. You would hear of no floulds, no Astors, no Vunderbilts. Wall street would go down a tradition to future generations." Like many other important fails, the above i very well known and is very im perfectly realized. Hut the w heel without a proper surface to roll upon is very badly discounted. The railroad only attains its speed by huving a smooth steel bed fur its wheels to roll over. On a less perfect sur face the speed of the slowest train would be unendurable for the passengers. The loco motive, that seems instinct with self-contained lite, becomes the most helpless of or ganisms when its wheels leave the rails nr when snow accumulates little byliltleon the truck. The road question is one of Ihe gn at is sues of the day. Of nil civilized countries, the United States probably holds the palm for bad roads. The annual messages of governors of states have taken cognizance of the need for better roads; the roads of a district have been made a subject lor in dictment by a grand jury. In the daily pa pers we read of a mud blockade, when farmers were con lined to their houses be cause the roads were impassable. Their produce was locked up, money wus scarce, the local merchants BiiU'ered in their busi ness, so that a local financial crisis was the ellect of bad roads. We read that a farmer in Pennsylvania, last spring, while using a six-horse team to haul a single load of hay, had one of bis horses fall in the road, and the horse was drowned before he could he got out. The question, "JIow are the roads?" so frequently put in country places, tells a story of the dependence of farmers on roads for their prosperity, comfort, and even lor social recreation and enlightenment. Without practicable transit, there can be no support for family gatherings, lectures or lycenms, and tho very schooling of the children of the country depends on the same thing-good roud-i.
