Auswerlug the question of the Farmers' Alliance consolidating with nuy other political party or ruining the People's party, the National Economist of Dec. 520, has this as "the final answeu." "Tho whole question as to the future course of the national organ, the future position of tho supremo council, and the duty of the national ofllcers, depends upon one thlug, unri that Is, 'can the fanners' Alli nueousan organization consolidate with or organize a political party ?' Unquestionably it can not. 1, Because su'ch consolidation or coalition would tnako such party u clasq party, or more properly, no party, but a political faction. 52. Because the Fanners' Alliance as an organization would cease to exist, the momeut it yielded sover eignty as a farmers' organization It would become somethlug else. 3. Because to merge with any one party would drive those belong ing to all other parties out of the order, and that is contrary to the fundamental principles of the or g.iulzutlou. "It seems to bo generally con ceded, both by Alliance men uud by those most eager for tho Buccess of the independent party movement, that there can be no consolidation of the Alliance with uuy political party. Both can not be supreme; neither cau be subordinate; and therefore to attempt to consolidate them Is death to one. This Is a statement that all must admit; It is absolutely Incontrovertible." surface water ns soon as it falls. Whllo I am In favor of grading up all tho county roads If properly drained yet I think the foremou tloned practice a failure. I am certain that no senslblo person will disagree with me on this subject if thoy will properly examlno into the merits and demerits of thn practice. Tho first thlug to do on roads is to proporly grade them up and make nil tho drains that arc necessary to carry oft the surface water, and then, in my Judgment, they are ready for any kina or poriuaueut improve ment, such as graveling, etc. In reference to working tho county roads I would further suggest tho plan of doing some permanent road work in each road district every year, if it is only a small nmouut It will tell in tiie course of time and wo will soon seo hotter roads all over this country. I do not mean by grading to have tho whole surface of tho road plowed up or summor fal lowed hut I mean to have tho plow lug done on tho ski o of tho road far euough away to leave a good road bed in tho middle that is not broken up so as to have a good foundation to build ou.- Citizen.

The Republican party in Oregon is much in need of good organiza tion uud good leadership this year 1802. There tiro but a few months in which to accomplish n thorough organization. There is barely time to do this in a manner that will eusure an endorsement of a Repub lican administration in June next which is almost Indispeusuole to. its success iu tho nation. Tho voice of a great agricultural state in endorse ment of Republicanism eurly in success for the ticket from tho Pu clflu to the Atlantic. The fact that the Alllauce will probably plupo no third ticket in the field only empha sizes tho importance of good leader ship, wise nominations uud a sound platform, and increases the danger of defeat In tho absence of any one of these three essentials. It is never wise to underestimate your opponent and certainly Oregon Re publicans should bo "up and doing." rU8II ALL THINGS. That la The Journal's motto for 1801: iu respect to Salem business, factories and improvements every thing should be pushed with all the energy and enterprise wo aro capable of if wo would bav a prosperous, progressive city. Public Improve ments must bo mado. Labor must be employed. Now business oppor tunities must bo developed. Now and additional manufacturing en terprises must be encouraged if our city is to go ahead. No obstacles must bo thrown in tho way of in vestments of capital that will make business and employ labor. A olty of churches and sohools and homes is a good tiling but unless people have something to do thoy cannot take advanlago of thoso things. Suleui must also bo a business city. Without business the city cannot go forward. Business builds great cities, and nothing elso. The Jouunal is in favor of em phasizing Salem's buulnccs interests in 1802. Salem must put her best business foot forward. Salem has a magnificent future ouly as sho pur sues a broad and liberal policy to- rvvard her busluccs Interests.

JeuitNAii: I was looking over tho session laws of Oregon for 1889 this evening, and ou page 87 I find that it Is in tho power of stho county court to appoint roadmastors, to carry out tho provisions of the road law "in counties of ten thou sand inhabitants or more." I think this would bo a great improvement on tho present rules of the court, for Instead of tho court having to go at every beck aud call of tho super visors they could send tho roadmas ter, whoso duty should bo to super intend all road work in the county, and if a practical man Is uppoluted thero would be raoro uniformity of road work, for he could make it his bustness to visit all the road dlslrbts at a proper tune aud outline llie work for tho supervisors, so they might do their work hi accordance with some plan suggested by the roudmastor. Tho practice of tho court is now, and 1ms been for many years, to trust almost all this kind of work to the supervisors, and thero aro something like 75 or 80 supervisors In tho county at tho present time, all having dlfierent notlous about how tho road work should be done. I therefore con clude that the old plan is a failure and under It wo will never have any good roads, and tho time and mouey spent on the rouds will bo of no publlc'utlllty to the traveling public. But under tho now plan there might be some grand improvements made, In the way of Introducing Into the couuty some uniform plan of working all the county roada, and thereby do away with the prao tlco of having so many kiwis of road work done. There Is a practice nmougtho supervisors all over tho county that I wish to condemn, and that is the practico of grading up the swales or low lands across which roada are laid without making any nrovUlon whatever firr water to escape from alongnldeof their grades A an evil result of this practice there aro many pleceu of roads In thin couuty rendered almost Impass able by this mode of working our roads.

Listen to this coiifesslon from the free trade New York "Times:" "Tho roturus from tho bureau of statistics of ex ports of merchandise continue to bo of a character simply extraordinary. Iu tho mouth of November, 1801, these exceed $110,000,000, yielding a net balatico as against exports In favor of this country for that month alouo of over $15,000,000, aud bring ing. tho act bulaniw for threo months previous to December 1 to nearly $103,000,000.

Thero Is but ouo known Democrat, nnd a majority of tho jurymen aro active Republicans. Tho district attorney opening tho caso said that ho expected to show that tho.certiflcate in question was used in payment of a legitimate loan that Senator Quay had made to tho Republican commltteo of Philadelphia; that tho loau had been paid back lu full, less discount; that Quay had only casual acquaintance with Burdsloy, aud that the article in tho Star was falso and malicious. D.wld Mnrtln, ex-collector of in ternal revenue in Philadelphia, tes tified that ho had received from Senator Quay a personal note for $9000, upon which to rulso tho bal auco of $10,000 needed for tho cam paign. The note was not discounted at tho time, and Quay later gave him for tho committee a check for $9000 on tho Deposit bauk of Beaver. Burdsloy identified the- wituess at the bank, also got a note discounted and gave tho witness the proceeds, which ho took to Washington and gavo to Senator Quay. Senator Quay himself was called, and corroborated tho previous testi mony. Ho told thut In tho cam paign of '89 tho Philadelphia city Republican commltteo needed $10, 000; ho gave $1000 and his note for $0000. This was tho samo note re ferred to by witnesses. As they failed to got tho note discounted, he gavo tho check for tho $9000 men- Attorney Ritchie outlined thocaso for tho dofonso, stating that tho pro posed to show thut tho public loun urtlclo -was published without mal ice.
