THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION.
It is almost certain tuat Cleve
land is elected president for the
next four years, although the re
tarns are not as yet complete.
And it is possible that elections
. this winter by state legislatures
rnay place the senate in the con
trol of the democrats and popu
lists. At least it is evident that
they will secure it later, which
with an already democratic house
will give them absolute control of
all departments of the govern-
jnent. wnenic comes io uus, iue
th democrats will have to an
swer to the people for the propef
administration of the eoverumeut.
as they alone will be responsible
for its policy, aud can have no ex
cuse that they were hampered by
republican obstruction or antago
nism in any department. They
will now have an opportunity to
inaugurate the reforms they have
so long promised, and if the coun-
. try does not prosper under their
administration the people will lay
the blame where it belongs.
The result meaus that the vo-
on a change of commercial and in
dustrial policy in the most pros
perous period ever known in the
history of the United States. The
country will now have a free trade
policy. The laborer, consumer
aua producer will now nave aDun-
dant opportunity to learn wnat

about principally through contin
ued agitation among the laboring
, classes by scheming demagogues,
who expect to benefit themselves
by the change, and who fonud

tingent of a foreign element of la-

Borers wuo were easily mibieu on
' account of their ignorrnce. This
t same labor vole have placed them
selves, on an equality with the
( cheap labor sections of the old
;." world, without knowing it. They
, came to . the country to better
their condition, but voted to place
them in the same-category with
their fellow laborers that they left
fcehind them across the sea. When
j. the reaction does come, it will fall
,'with' overwhelming, convincing
", force on the laborers of the land,
who' will then see the error of
' their way and long for the good
' old republican days.
The peoples party as a factor
'contributed not a little in an indi
X rect way to the success of the de
mocracy in this presidential
elecliqir. , -
, Tammany Hall too, did effect-
ve work for Cleveland, and he
will have the debt to pay. ' . r
The, result ui Oregon was not
unexpected, as it was ; very evi
rdent the democrat of this state,
as .a rule, did. not take kindly to
fusion with the people's party.
They believed in standing true to
their colors, even if Harrison' did
- get the electoral vote by a large
majority. Tha vote m Benton

,",of the state distinctly shows that

GOOD ROADS.-
. Now that the1 rains' premonitory,
of the. approach of the winter sea
son Lave begun to fall, and the
mud, so familiar to the Oregon
eye and so demoralizing to Ore
gon travel, has begun to give
promise' of what it will do for us a
few weeks hence, the subject of
roads becomes a live one. There
is too much of the Arkansaw trav
eler mheaerage Oregonian. In
the""WlHter54ie growls ceaselessly
about the1. dmpassable roads, but
when the summer comes, when he
should be improving the opportu
nity to make them bettel, they
are good enough, and he dismisses
the subject from his thoughts.
Poor highways have cost the
farmers of Oregon millions of dol
lars. . Every year the producers
pay more to support the state gov
ernment. This is so evident a fact
that even the most thoughtless
and the dullest of comprehension
cannot fail to see it. But seeing
it and realizing its significance are
distinct , propositions. . In an in
definite way we recognize the
burden of obstructed traffic, but
we are not sufficiently impressed
with it to take active measures to
lift it. The heaviest tax the . pro
ducers of Oregon Day is the one
they do not pay at all, paradox
ically speaking, and that is a tax
upon traffic. If they would pay
a liberal road tax and have the
fund handled itt a businesslike
manner, their traffic tax would, be
less. Primarily, the producer suf
fers the most by reasons of . bad
roads, but secondarily the mer
chant, artisan and every individ
ual whose prosperity depends up
on a steady and . uninterrupted
continuance of business." When
bad roads prevent the farmer
from coming to town with his pro
ducts, or diminish the size of the
load he may carry, his loss is di
rect and positive, and the loss of
trade is equally direct and positive
to the merchant. With the dull
times of winter, the direct result ol
the bad condition of the highways,
every business man and mechanic
suffers a dimmuation of income.
The cost of marketing products
comes out of the pocket of the pro
ducer. The man whose products
cost less for conveyance . from the
farm to the consumer receives the
highest . net price. The price of
wheat in Liverpool is the same
whether the wheat was raised on
a larm within a stone's throw of a
railroad 1 warehouse, or ; twenty
miles distant over roads knee deep
in mud and full of chuck holes.
The difference is all in- the net
profit of the producer. Whether
it costs him to get his products
to the shipping point, or whatever
loss of opportunity to take advan
tage of a temporary rise in price
by reason of a mud blockade, must
be added to the expense and . de
ducted from the gross price the
same as other expenses of -pro
duction. It should then be charg
ed up to, the roads as -a separate
item, tohow what., a large: road
tax the farmer pays because he
does not xay any road tax at all.
A direct road tax for the construe-;
tion of good highways for winter
travel, would save many times
that amount of indirect' tax. by
reason of loss of market or cost of
reaching it. , This is a subject of
more vital interest to Oregon than
the tariff, or the finances of the
cotmtry. It means money lost or
money saved. Every dollar saved
in the marketing of products- is
saved to the producer and is a dis
tinct gain to the entire state. , The
legislature will meet in January,
and the farmers of Oregon should
demand of it a repeal of the : pres
ent utterly absurd and worthless
road law, and the enactment ' of
legislation ' that shall result in
making our highways passable for
heavily loaded wagons at all sea
sons of the year. Portland Chron

Z7.J TO BEGIN PREPARA TION.
' Next year is ' very likely to be a
critical one in the history ot p'riine
growing, in Oregon. The yield of
prunes was hot up to the average
last year, and this, year has been
the . most ..unfavorablet knowjxto
the business. " It the, yield is good
next1 year, the ; aggregate product
will - be many times what it has
ever yet been. The amount will
be great enough, in fact, to make
the Oregon product a very percep
tible factor in the supp!yj of the
United States, and the character
of the Oregon prunes thrown upon
the market next year will have a
predominant effect in establishing
the reputation ; of the prunes ' of
this state. S
It is .not too early to begin pre
parations now. Every fruit grow
er of Oregon, , and. Washington as
well, who has a few acres 6t. prunes
of bearing age should at once com
mence an earnest study of the
question how he is going to take
care of his fruit next year. The
planting and cultivation of prune
trees is a simple matter. . The pro:
per handliug of the product is a
complicated, one which calls for
the exercise of both skill and busi
ness management. This subject
is brought upat this time because
it is found that the majority of
growers do not seem to realize
what is before them. They talk
confidently enough about the
large quantity of fruit which their
trees ought to yield next year, but
tney act as if they expected
nothing of the kind. If there
should bo a big prune crop next
year one-half of it is likely to rot
for . want of sufficient -evaporators,
and. more-than one-half of Hie
balance to be practically : spoiled
for want of skillful handling. : The
part which rots will be a heavy
loss to the growers who raised it.
The part which is injured for want
of skillful handling will be a great
and lasting damage to all the prune
growers of the state because it will
go into market to create a bad rep
utation for Oregon prunes. Ore
gon's opportunity in this matter is
great if our growers will only
awaken to the character of the
emergency. Oregon prunes un
questionably surpass those of Cali
fornia in size, and, if properly
evaporated, in flavor. -:. If they are
cared for and put upon the market
with as much skill as the Cahfor
nia product, our prunes will take
first place upon the markets in the
United Stales without ,a question,
and the time is not far distant
when there will be no: profit in
raising prunes unless they: do take
first place. Rural Northwest, v
A writer, on education : saj's
"Comparatively few teachers and
professors who are. connected with
the seminaries and colleges of our
country are in sympathy with the
present movement of the people
lor a more practical - education
than is generally acquired at the
lusher institutions ot learning. - It
is quite popular for the devotees ot
classical and scientific education
to call the movement for industrial
education 'a mere ad' " This is
quite possible, for that class of in
structors are brought in contact
with "fads" in all forms and have
but little faith in the stability ol
any new move. Old tilings are
coming into use again on all sides,
and education ' has "for so many
years , been drifting away from
what "was needed by' the people
who are supposed to fill the most
numerous and important classes in
the country, that it is . about time
to look lor a sudden and radical
change. It is no more absurd for
the daughter of wealthy parents to
be instructed in housework, me
chanics and even agriculture than
it has been for the boys and girls
who were to be farmers and me
chanics or; the wives of such to
spend the best years of their lives
and worry their brains over . Latin
grammar, and rules . of incompre
hensible, mathematics that are of
no use outside of a special line oi
business.! ; No doubt when teach
ers in classical . schools observe
people coming to their senses they
think it is a mere "fad," and if
they give it the same encourage
ment it may endure as long as boat
racing or ball, games. Of course,
there are some who will study for
a . practical, . business, , every-day
education, just , for .the, novelty of
the thing just as some girls now
engage in masculine sports, but
the habit of earning a Jiving will
be .followed by a majority -of the
people for a long time' yet, and
instruction that, tends that way,
when once in: fashion, will be ap
preciated. 1 -'
It must - be noted by all those
who have paid the least attention
to politics during the- recent cam
paign that aspersions on the char
acter ot either candidate have been
very-wisely -ignored and this is in
marked contrast to the canvass of
fonr. years ago. This : lias truly

cating the DeoDle m the diverse
