The National Economist the recog nized mouthpiece of the farmers' alli ance under date of December 26th, has this to say about that body's consolidat ing with any other political party : The whole question .as to the future 'course of the national organ, the future position of the supreme council, and the duty of the national officers, depends upon one thing, and that is, "can the farmera's alliance as an organization consolidate with or organize a political party?" Unquestionably it can not. 1. Because such consolidation or coalition would make such party a class party, or more properly, no party but a political faction. 2. Because the farmers' alliance as an organization would cease to exist the ' moment . it yielded sovereignty. As a farmers' organization it would become something else. 3, Because to merge with any one part' would drive those belonging to all - other parties out of the order, and that is contrary to the fundamental princi ples of the organization. - It Bee in 9 to be generally conceded, both by alliance men and by those most eager for the success of the independent party movement, that there can be no ' consolidation of the alliance with any 'political party. Both can not be su- preme ; neither can be subordinate ; and therefore to attempt to consolidate them ' is death to one. This is a statement thaf all must admit, is absolutely in controvertible. - ". It is not often, happily, that one meets with, a newspaper which is conducted . with such general ability as is the Ore gonian that can. descend to so low a level of narrow bigotry and unfair and dishonest criticism as that journal man ifested in an article published in. its ' issue of January 20th on . the amend ments suggested by the committee on revision of the Presbyterian confession of faith. . The article is an insult to a large and influential body of Christians and a gross libel on the members of the revision committee. It is nil the more so because there is nothing in the creed of that church to give a shadow of foun dation for the criticism offered. Of the trjth or falsity of the doctrines of the -confession we say nothing, but we pro test in the name of all that is fair and honorable against a most respected and useful denomination of Christians being held up to ridicule and contempt, as that they hold that none but themselves have any hope of salvation, that the "elect" - is held to mean Presbyterians, "or those who profess to believe as the Presby terians do," that . "those ordained to wrath" mean "those who do not accept the Presbyterian theological hornbook," that by the term "unregenerate" the confession means "those who do not think as the Presbyterians do" and that ' the "faith" that "purffies the heart" is held to be "the Presbyterian confession . of faith." Such criticism is unworthy of any paper that makes a pretention to respectability. It has not the shadow of a basis either in the confession itself pr in the teaching of the denomination referred to. It only serves as a con firm -; otion of what has long been, apparent, : namely, that anything that even pre tends to be a revelation from . the Almighty is like a red rag to a bull "to . tbe Oregonian. ..That .journal bates the .- Christianity of the bible . with all the. bitter intensity of its nature, and never lets an opportunity , slip to exhibit this hatred. The Chboficle does not accept the authority, of the confession any more : , than does the Qregoniqn, bu it is well . assured that either the Oregonian critic never saw a copy of the confession or he . is a very dishonest and bigoted critic. , The Monthly report for January, 1892, of Justice Bateman & Co., wool com mission merchants, of Boston, contains the following which we publish without 'comment: . ; - '., ?. . The past year of 1891 will be known as one of the most fruitful for the products , of tbe soil and the mine in the history of the nation. Business of near v every - .kind is being conducted on an increased scale. Competition . has decreased the margin of profits to a minimum and has in many cases lowered prices ; but the exportof American product has increased enormously, while the imports of man- ; - nfactured articles have been decreasing. The balance of trade is in favor of this nation, bringing gold in return, which is - al:o easing the monev market and es tablishing confidence in mercantile and .banking circles. In ordinary times these favorable conditions would "have . foHtered a "boom. but an entire absence of any speculative inclination has so far been conspicuous. The neces- sides of consumers, with no disposition to Duy in advance ot present needs have apparently been the controlling -motive. The exports for the month of Novem ber, 1891, reached the nnprecedented sum of (110,000,000, while the ' value of imports was but $66,588,000. so that the actual balance of trade in a single month was over 15,000,000 with the prospect that daring the current fiscal, year more than onO'thousand million, dollars worth of this country's products will be sent abroad. The decline in the rates of for eign exchange within the last week in dicates -larger shipments of gold from abroad in the near .future, adding to the resources of the banks, already richer in loanable money than ever before at this season. Witn loanable funds so - plenti ful, the new year must open with an dasy money market,- and with this con eition so pronounced, it is a, surprise that such a favorable business situation has not already to a greater degree re flected the prosperity which these- fig ures indicate. - lbs condition of busimess is generally measured by the activity of the railroads, which at: present .furnish the most indisputable evidence of reviv ing business,, which we think . sooner or later must have a favorable influence on the wool market. - : ' . - - ' The value of imports -of raw woof for the year 1891 is estimated in round fig ures at $19,000,000 as against about $15, 750,000 for the year ,1890 under the old law, showing an increase of raw wool imported under the increased - duties of tbe McKinlev bill over the previous year of about $3,350,000. This 'increase in the imports of wool, notwithstanding the increased duties, was made necessary by the" demand for raw wool resulting from the increased employment of American manufacturers in supplying tbe deficiency- caused by the decreasing imports under the McKinlev schedule, which, for twelve months, shows a falling off in the im ports of "manufactnres of wool'' of about $25,000,000. The value of the goods imported for the twelve months of 1890 reached about $60,000,000. In other words the imports of manu factured goods for .1891, so far as the nguresnave oeen oDtamea, indicate only about $35,000,000 worth, showing a de crease of $25,000,000, of woolen fabrics, formerly made abroad, but now made in the United States, giving employment to American labor and making a better market for American .wool. The Secretary of the - Dalles board of trade, B. S." Huntington, has received the following telegram from Hon Binger. Herman : "The River and Harbor committee will hear delegations until February 10th. An upper Columbia river dele gation, well informed, would help me here." -.r: , ; - ;: . .. In the absence of any financial pro vision for the expense of sending a Joby to Washington the Chronicle ,. suggests that here is ah opportunity . that may not occur again during the century for candidates for county state and national officials to show their unselfish devotion to the people's interests by hurrying to Washington and doing some good loby service in the interest of the dalles portage. Secretary . Huntington will furnish the candidates' with the neces sary figures and the Chronicle : will help elect them after the bill becomes a law. Ueelinmr the Passes. '." The presentation by Sir Edwin Ar nold of the manuscript of a meritorious 'and intrinsically valuable poem to the Lotos club recalls an incident that marked the visit of Henry'Irving to this city in 1889. Like Sir Edwin, Mr. Irving had been an honored guest at a Lotos club, banquet. The enthusiasm of the lotos eaters is boundless and their hospi tality is proverbial. Sir Edwin, in the enthusiasm of the moment, presented the club with the manuscript of a poem for which he had been . offered a large sum, of money. . Mr. Irving, after enjoy ing the hospitality of the club, insisted on presenting each member with an an nual pass to the Lyceum theater, in Lon don. The limitless possibilities of such a presentation impressed certain mem bers of the club to such an extent that they undertook the task- of prevailing upon each member to send a note declin ing the proffered favor. Mr." Irvine's impulsive generosity was thereby saved from very expensive consequences. New York Times. The Length of Your Talk. -. ' ' ' The latest' achievement of the pedo meter is to measure the amount of space one's chin travels over in the course of a day; It was reported that a New York woman recently tied a pedometer to her chin ah d found to her great surprise that she had talked twenty-five miles between breakfast and lunch. She was so embar rassed over the result of -the reading of the pedometer , that she would not tell what she had been' talking about. It might have been the children, it might have been the' servants, but more than likely it was a talk with some dear friend on what to wear this season. New York Advertiser. . ... ' The Danger of Overeating. . - When more food, is taken into 'the stomach .than can be appropriated for the purpose of growth; repair and func tional activity, all - the organs of , di gestion, assimilation 'and ' excretion are overtaxed 'to dispose, of this' superfluity.-. Additional labor is put upon the kidneys, lungs and "'other ..excretory 'organs, to eliminate unused material: which has served no end in the human economy. And this strain long continued leads to an impairment of vigor, and hot in frequently to chronic disorders which pnzzle the best of physicians to over come. Hall's Journal of Health. "'; ; J An Odd Place for av Will,: The ingenious novelist -could not in vent a queerer hiding place for a will than one reported from real life hy the Maine Farmer.' The will was tacked up on the partition of a wood shed, a piece of .brown paper tacked over it, and there it remained for years, no one but the author surmising its identity.' After the testator died, in clearing out the shed the brown paper was removed and the prcioua document found. ALMOST BURIED IN CINDERS, He Warn the Bet, Got Ferrully"lirty, bat Didn't Get the Monejr After All. He stood in the Grand Central station fanning himself . with his r hat, and the cinders on his bald head looked like pep per on a hard boiled egg. ? Every square, inch of his short fat person was begrimed and dirty. .-'V " r' V ' ' '': ' " 'S'pose I look like a Digger Indian just dug," he remarked, putting his head , into the window at the bureau of infor mation, and letting his imitation leather valise drop on the floor with a thud. '.'Oh, well a little jagged, perhaps," re-' sponded the clerk politely. -. "No"' Jag around , me," said ' the dirty tourist indignantly. "I only got in ten inmates ago." : "Sor- -. . v : ; :; .. .. ; ' ! -; - ' "Yes. Haven't washed sence we left Council Bluffs. Would yon believe it?" "Oh, yes." , We had a gay time, I tell yer." . "How's that?!', inquired the clerk. "Well, you see, a feller from South Dakota opened the winder just in front of me a while' after we had started and the cinders come in like it was a hail storm. I didn't want to 'pear disobligin. so I stood it fer three hours, and then I leaned over to the ' South Dakota feller, and says I, 'Little dusty, ain't it?" 'Web be, says he. ''Would you mind shuttin down that winder fer a spell?' says I, as perlite as you please. 'I 'find it very annoy-in.' I would mind,' says lie, 'and if I can stand it, I'll bet you can.' 'Well, if it's a bet, you say, says I, 'I'm in it. I don't let no South Dakota feller bluff me. I'll bet you fifty dollars, even money, you'll weaken on that open win der before t do.' "He looked surprised, but he"says, 'It's ago.' "We put up the money with the con ductor, and he snuggled up to his winder and I behind, takin the dust sorter sec ond hand. At the end of the first twenty- four hours we wasn't purty fer a cent, and I eee'd the other feller was squirmin a good deal. .. 6o -.vixen the train stopped fer dinner I sneaked out to the engineer ana gave mm my last ten dollar bill, and says I winkin, 'When you start up the engine it'll be a pertickler favor to me if yon won t screen back them cinders; let 'em nicker for two -or three honrs; just buzz out every cinder you've got.' ..." -my coat says ne, a win Kin bacK, 'is terrible soft and muddy today.' . .-- eu, sir, i tie next tnree nours was awfuL. I . never 'seed such smoke and coal dust anywhere: .The way that en. gine snorted and bio wed and them cin ders rattled and pattered most scared the passengers off the train. It aciually seemed as though the screen business bad busted clean out of the smokestack and let the coal blow through in chunks. I he dirt was bo. . thick on my ' face you could have wrote my name in it, but that feller from South Dakota he caught them cinders right in the neck. He was almost buried. There - was cinders in his hair,: cinders in his mustache; they worked down inside his collar; into his vest pockets... .And when he started to brace up on a chew blamed if he didn't bite more cinders than tobacker. About then it came up to rain, and for an hour that feller from. South Dakota locked like be- was dredged up from a mud pond. -When the rain stopped and he was wipin down the mud, along come a red hot cinder as big as a pea and lit on bis beard.' The brakeman helped him put out the fire, but just then the train stopped and that feller riz up and says he, 'I weaken, ' take the cash,' and he walked right off the train.' "-Then all the passengers congratulated me.-- They said I was dirty, but game." "So you gotrthe money?" inquired the clerk with some interest. - "Well that's the trouble," rejoined the dirty traveler. . "While I was fixin the engiffeer blamed if that onery cuss wasn't goin me one better and fixin the conductor, and they froze to the cash and skipped togetfier. The trouble with me is," added the grimy traveler, gazing out pensively at the Forty-second street hackmen, "that I'm too honorable and confidin, always been so. Say," he added in a whisper, poking his dirty head in the window, "gimme a quarter fer a wash, will yeT't-New York Tribune. : Caught. '.. " At a certain station large quantities of plums and apples were being reported as . missing almost daily in the large hampers and baskets that were sent to London. Circumstances pointed to the probability of the pilfering taking place t the sending station. -' The agent hit riporra novel plan for detecting the thief. He had . a lad porter placed in one of these hampers returning empty, which was large enough to. hold him, covered the. top with canvas 'and ' labeled it "Plums-rPerishable," with the' address in full. .'' v ! -V - ' : '.-.-. ,. ; Toward midnight the lad got cramped and felt anxious to get out,- but he stuck manfully to his post., By and by one of the night shunters came into the shed to examine the, wagons labeled for the next train. .
