The fact that even an audience of seventy-five could be gotten together at a time when the Senatorial contest was the pre vailing topicand there were several other things going on, spoke well for the inter est taken in the lecture given last Friday night by Prof Lyman, of Forest Grove. "Conflict of Forces" was a dry sounding subject, and many looked for a dry lec ture. Fortunately they were disappoint ed. Prof Lyman, though a young man, handled the subject in s manner exhibit ing good thought, splendid arrangement and superior language, Tbe forces in conflict were gravitation, adhesion, mag netism, chemical affinity, vegetable and animal life, intellect, spirit, forming a pyramid in order named, intellect and spirit commanding all the rest. As pow erful as is gravitation, adhesion and mag netism, man, by the force of his intellect, had conquered them. This fact he illus trated under the several beads by splen didly worded examples and well drawn oonclusions,giving facts that instructed as well as interested, calling for tbe closest attention of tbe audience, Pen pictures are the m-st pwjrful arguments. Prof Lyman possesses a happy faculty of drawing them, hi lecture being repl'te with illustrations on every point raised. It is more lecturet of this kind which tbe public need to bear. . Turned Bar Keepers for a Ray. It is being reported in this city, by parties at Salem last week, that during Friday, pre vious to the last death straggle in the Sena torial contest, Messrs Corbett k Failing, of Portland, transformed the judiciary room in tbe Capitol into a sort of restaurant or saloon, and acted as their own bar keepers. The bill of fare as given by those who looked on was wines, champagne, brandies, chickens, Ctkes, breads, etc. Cost nothing. They were well patronized. No license was charg ed, Even Judge Boise is said to have looked in and ejaculated : "Great Ceres, have C. & F. turned bar tenders." The above free champagne and lunch ex hibition was witnessed by persons here whose word can be relied on. It gives ns an inside to some of the tricks of politicians. No doubt others did as disreputable things, but this serves as an example of what candidates for office will do for influence; It will prove an interesting episode in the great senatorial fiasco. Tebaeee Raised llcre. Last Saturday Mr Jesse McGee showed us some tobacco whiuh ho raised on his farm a few miles from tbis city, of a qual ity and flavor, which testiriel to tbe pos sibility of making tobacco raising quite an industry here. The only thing necessary is a market. Mr McGee thinks the soil suitable for the purpose, the principal diif eranco between here and the south, being the fact that the plant matures here much slower than there, coal evenings affecting it some. He considers good rich black soil as the best for it and thinks that if it js raised much on white soil it is because ft is well manured.

The Grand Lec tarer gave one of hia practical sermons on Sunday at tbe Christian Church in the forenoon,an address to tbe Sunday School at 4 tn the afternoon and at night be gavo a temperance lecture at the new church. The house was tilled to overflowing and better order never was known to prevail at any gathering in this place before, Everybody seems to be enthused with new zeal in the temperance work and tbe cause is far in advance.aeemingly of where it was one year ago. Tbe question of pro hibition is interesting to many who never before have taken any interest in this great work. May the work go on . Tkat birkea Thief. Oar correspondent hut weeg at Millers mentioned a case of chicken stealing and said the thief was formerly of Albany, but sow of Kaox Butte, A resident of the last mentioned place resents this, but accounts for the affair in the following manner i I noticed a communication from Millers, dated Feb. 14th, written by a "Scribler," who advises the people to look out for chick en thieyes for they are very numerous in this community. He says one was captured in Tho Alphiue's chicken hocae. and goes oa to say he was formerly of Albany, bnt now of Knox Butte that he is well known in tho community where the chicken thieves are so thick ; now why didn't Scribler tell the people that he was born and raised in Millers precinct and not try to put him off for an Albanyite or a Knox Butte chap. The chicken thief is like tbe man who got for a political office a nomination and wanted to be elected. When he was among Democrats he was a Democrat, and when among Repub licans was a Republican. While he was here in the vicinity ef Knox Butte he behav ed himself like a gentleman ; but when he got back where yon say the chicken thieves are so thick he became as a thicken tbief. Knox Butte is all oats. -(Signed) Ni Ka Kitm Tl x. tieolegleal Leetaire- Everybody in Albany ehouid bear Prof, Wyckoff, at Crawford's Halt, tbis (Thursday)evening. Subject'Geology." Prof Wyckoff has been investigating to a liaaited extent the geological structure of Oregon soil, and no doubt will pre sent facts of local, as well as of general interest in tbis lecture. A full bouse should greet him. It Is Wise. It is a wise nan who knows all about the unfathomable intricacies of the Senatorial Confab. It is a wise farmer who can foretell the uncertain results of possible rain storms, droughts and freeze nps. It is a wise prophet who can whisper in onr ear when a manufacturing boom will be started in Albany. It is a wise young man who gets married in order to save big board and billiard bills. The Veanty Beaten. The case of C GBurkart,Coustablo against Linn county, the commencement of whieh was mentioned in a former issue of the Demo crat, was tried but week before George Humphrey, Esq., when the action of the County Court was reversed, judgment being rendered in favor of Mr Burkhart for nearly the full amount of his chum. Several other suits are threatened. M K a CD Jl i 1 ' i & a Carres! Events. now turns out that Hepry Ward lleecher can neither stand doge or cate, mis accounts for his peculiar conduct soinotlnies.

When it Is considered that Bilyeu is a six-footer, and Simon a small man, the act was cowardly as welt as outrageous," Tbis we ascer tain aow was a malic ious lie. In tact, if there was a slight qusrret It was not with Senator Bilyeu at all. In order to tlad out something about it an Albany man went to Simon Saturday and said : "Mr. Simon were'nt you terribly scared when you saw that aix foot Slcamore of theSantiam bearing down on yon, a four footer, with a revolver in his band." "Oh," said be "that was a d d lie," and so it was a falsehood. The fact that none of tbe other papers knew anything about it lathe best evidence. Certainly If there bad been anything of the kind It would have been found out. The closing was no deubt exciting, but It was not tragic. The politics ef papers published in many of the counties of the State will soon be changed in order to keep up with the times and get the Land notices. KE9Li;Tle. Hall of Linn Lodge No. 22, A. O. U.

The following is tho narrow way in which a Portland paper put it.

The men who voted against him because of his relig ion aro ignorant fanatics who are better fit ted forsn asylum than a legialative kail." Intelligent people know yery well that Hirsch was opposed for other reasons than his reiigiou. In tho first place he was a wire pulling wsrd politician. In the second piaco th people have enough of your Dolph style of Senators. Ho reproseuls tboae interests tbe people do aot want represented, being in short a regular ring politician.

In this connection it might be well to ask why our Leglslatera do not serai-oonasloBally draft a bill that says what it was intended to mean. There seems to be a obronio practice of shading everything in mystery. It Is known that the Intention of this law was to make it apply as well to cities as to country planus ; I s , .. yet the indications now are that practical ly it will never be made to. This is one example of a loosely drawn bill , Some of the prices current in Portland ar : Wheat sacks GJffflSo ; hops, 810o : hams, 15($16c ; chickens, 3(0)3.50 ; buttor fancy, 30e ; inferior 18(gi20c ; eggs, 16o ; dried Capples 44; wheat, 72o ; wool, 12 14c ; potatoes, 2535c.

Tees ps ranee. The Ixcal Option and License Law pass ed by tbe last legislature and approved by the (iovorn-r February I7lh is al I that the moot ardent friends of reform could have hoped for a, this time. Our Repre sentative have acted fairly and wisely. The 4lh and 5th Sections of said Law road aa fallows : Set. 4.

Now it remains for this law to be enforc ed with tbe same fairness with which It has beou unacted. A majority refosine to a petition for license would show the public sentiment against saloons. That should be sufficient reason for any good c Izsn to use all bis Influence against such business. Ths will of the msjorlty should not be violated. It Is folly ever to expect a uuanimoua sentiment against drinking and saloona. A minority will always exist who will oppose say measure. And often that minerity Is unjust enoush to violate ths wish of a large majority. Such men are never either good Republi cans or Democrats. T.iey are no: g o I citizens, They are violators of the spirit of our institutions, I feel for one like earnestly asking our people of Albany aud of Lion county to see to It that every voter Is fully apprised of this law and of his privilege and duty uuder it.
