Otiikk WAYs.They not only get away
with n man's money by big prices at Salem
during Sttc fair week ; but they have
divers other little ways down there for los
ing money.as witnesses the following from
the Statesman : "Night before laat Dr.
Clotigh, of Walla Walla, and J. K. Mlaner.

Van B. Del.uHhmult's room at the Chemc-

Wiikrk Was tiik Jokk.-A friend of
ours in Allanv, who has a babv aliout the
same age as little "Suey the Chinec baby
at Jim Westfall's, thought it would be
good joke to purchase a picture of the lab
ter from Crawford' gallery, label it "our
babv" and forward it without comment to
Eastern friends. In due course came a tet
ter acknowledging the receipt of the photo
with the statement that the relatives and
friends were delighted to receive the same,
and all to whom it wa submitted thoujflit
that "whilst the costume was a little too
much on the wild western atyle, the baby
looked verr much like its 'father." The
joke was such a good one on our friend
hat he could not resist to tell It on him
self. CoavAt.ns Mrs. J. T. Wolfe went to

Dekr Hi Ni t.vf. "W. H. Pretty naM,
the well known nurseryman, was in town
yesterday and visited the fair. In company
with T. C Baker, D. W. Rumbotigh and
Harry Cooper, he went up into new hunt
ing grounds in some of the Linn county
mountain. They killed twenty-! deer,
carefully drying every pound that they did
not use fresh, even to the tongues. They
could have killed fifty, just as easy, but
they were too good sportsmen to slay one
more than they could utilize." -Salem
Journal.
Apple Blossoms. Mr. John A. Brown,
a well-known gardener who resides near
the Warm Springs Agency, presented this
office with a twig from an apple tree this
week bearing freh blooms and young ap
ples as large as cherries. The tree from
which the branch was cut has borne one
crop of mature J apples this year, and is
evidently doing all in it power to produce
a second one. People who arc wont to be
lieve In "signs" say that a phenomenon of
this nature Indicates war. We can well

The Libel Case. The cate of thebaic
agt. II . P. McGulre, the Sitings man, for
libel, was called before Justice Humphrey
last Thursday. The defendant asked to
waive examination, but several witnesses,
to-wit, Chas. Casey, M. L. Dorris, C. G.
Burkhart, H. Lampman and A. Meyers,
were examined. The defendant was held
under $500 bonds to await the action of the
Grand Jury.
Sues for' Divorce. Mr. Kinross, form
erly of Portland, has sued for a divorce
from his wife, drunkenness being the
grounds for the same. We'll wager an
old bottle Mrs. K. has more cause to ask
for one than her "mashing" husband, who
used to be rated the greatest dead beat in
Portland.
Died. At the residence of his grand
parents, in East Salem, Wednesday morn
ing, Sept, 19th, 1888, at 4:20 o'clock, Olin,

Murk Siptino. -Mr. H. P. McGuIre
and Chas. F. Potter were in the Democrat
oflkc last Thursday about 5 .interview
ing this office when Constable Burkhart
appeared and notified Mr. Potter that he
was under arrest for libel. He was taken
to the court house given an examination
before Justice Humphrey, and held to
await the action of the grand jury under
$450 bonds. Mr. Potter Is and was fore
man of the Sitingt oilier, and having In
formed Mr. Uurkitnrt in Portland that he
knew who the Albany correspondent wa
he wai considered a good man to arrest
under the statute. If there are any more
who bad a band in the matter they will be
duly captured. It Is proposed to break
this slanderous business of wholesale libel
of ourcitixeus up at most any cost. Mr.
NU Gutre still insists that he was only a
stockholder end bad nothing to do with
the management of the paer ; but it looks
very much as if he will find out before that
matter terminates that he was something
more than a witness from a distant hill top.
He will find that It would have been a
cheap way out of the matter to have dl
vulged the name of the correspondent. A
dUrcputshic correspondent to any sheet
ought to be given away.

A BiHi.u vi. Pi lk. It take a good
Bible student to solve the following: If
you multiply the number of Jacob's sons
by the number of times the Israe'ites com.
paed Jericho, and add to the product the
number of measures of barley which Boa
gave Ruth, divide tbl by the number of
Hainan' on. subtract the number of each
kind of clean bcat that went into the ark,
multiply by the number of men that went
to seek Elijah after he was taken to heaven,
subtract from thi Joseph' age at the time
he stood before Pharaoh, add the number
of stones In David's bag when he killed
Goliath. ubtract the number of furlongs
that Bethany was dUtant from Jerusalem,
divide by the number of anchors cast out
when Paul wa shipwrecked, and subtract
the mi ruber of persons saved in the ark, the
remainder will tie about the number of bod
sidewalks in Albany it I actually danger

Ir Trir. The following l going the
rounds of the press, and if tiue, certainly
give the newspaper a bb? privilege when
it comes to collecting back subscriptions ;
but we haven't heard of any arrests any
where yet : "The latest postal decision l
to the effect that publisher of newspapers
am, under the law, arrest any man for fraud
who takes the paper and refuses to pay for
It, Under this law it is a dangerous trick
for a man to allow his subscription account
to run from six months to a year and a half
unpaid, and then tell the postmaster to mark
it refused or send the editor a postal earn
to discontinue tht paper."

provement of the Ht. Charles Hotel, in this
city, R good property that has been Idle for
oyer six year.. Under the hands of Race
Bran., the building has assumed a new ip
pearance, and now is practically a new
structure. Nicely painted, splendidly ar
ranged, well located, It I. an Institution our
cltlxen. should take a pride In. Good ho
tel, .peak for a city, and Albany is now
well fixed In this respect. A Dkmocrat
man has given the St. Charles a thorough
Inspection, and is able to pronounce Hone
of the neatest, beat furnished, most conven
ient hotel. In the State. The office, lighted
by electricity, I. a pretty place. Leading
from It are speaking tub to different part
of the house. From the north a door leads
to the gentlemen', toilet rocm and two

to the had way and thence to the dining
room er up stair. Into the steeping apart
ments. The dining rvom Is a model 01;
Nine or ten table, are arranged along the
sides, pread with nrst-class ware, the ser
vice being a superior quality of silver arc
and the dishe decorated ware of a good
quality, light but solid. This will be light
ed by electricity. The table set wc predict
will be equals the service. On the second
and third stories the sleeping apartment,
forty in number, have been very tastily
furnished, being model, of neatness ; the
parlor Is an elegant one, located just over
the office. The bath room and ladies' toilet
room Is at the north end of the wing, and
are aupplled with warm and cold water.
Electric light, will be kept running all
night in the hsIU, there being fifteen in
candeacent light, in the building. Hose,
ready for instant use are kept on each floor,
and Are escapes will lead iron, the west

All together, for taste, neatness and mod

G. II. St S. A. - Yesterday noon several
railroad men at the depot were observed
by a Drmocrat man to be in a very heat
disputation over something, evidently a
serious .natter from tbe manner in which
they handled themselves. A close In
spection reveateu the fact that they had
discovered a bos car with the mvtctiou
Initials of G. II. it S. A. on it and were
having a "set-to" as to what they meant.
Engineer Ford offlered to wager his throt
tle valve when at full speed that they
meant Galveston, Houston Si Southern
Arixonia. Conductor Kennedy said they
referred to Galveston, Houston St -an An
tonla. Brakcman Morris was certain it
was Galveston for tbe peanuts, and some
one said the H. stood for Harrlsburg The
matter remained in statu auo. An in
spection of the car stviwed that It came
from "Galveston to Albany, and had cer
tainly a very long trip. It looked rather
lonesome snd forlorn so far away from
home. Doe any of the Dkmocrat'k
readers know for certain the name of the

A Gs.tr. The easiest managed gate in
Albany probably .wings in front of the res!
dence of the local editor of the Democrat.
It la red now, but will not always be that
color. It swings as easily as a bird on a
twig and locks itself. It is iugenius from
top to bottom ; but wont eat oats. It hasn't
anv hip pockets and neighbors are as wel
come as formerly, particularly when they
bring cabbage, and dressed Chinese pbeas
ants. Gate, like the one mentioned can
be bought of Stewart & Sox, and content
plated purchasers are welcome to examine
the workings of this particular gate if they
are subscriber, to the democrat.

State Fair. Nearly 10,000 people at

to see the horse racing. The one mile
dash was won by Lady Duffy in 147,
Broadclnirch .second by half a neck. The
3:35 trot was won by Mc Knight Bros.'
Oneco, of this county, he getting the 3d,
4th and 6th heats, Maud Knox, 2d and
Oleander 3d. This is said to ha"e been the
most exciting race of the week. The vote
on the cold headed cane for the most popu

Harrimol-ro, Sept. 32nd, 1888.
Editors Democrat :
I have recently resd an article in the
hratd-IMtMrninator, In which I find the
following statement :
"Wc have labored and expect to continue
to labor, consistently conscientiously, and
faithfully In the interests of the (shoring
and farming community of the country,for
our Interests are Identical with their. But
we are publishing a political newspaper snd
in that capacity it U our imperative duty as
well a. privilege to discuss political issues."
This statsment appears to have been
mode by the Dirininator as a reply to some
criticisms of its course on the tsriff ques
tion made by the Pacific Farmer. It does
not appear in the article from which the
above extract was taken jut what the con
tention between the two papers was, nor Is
that fact of any consequence with reference
to what I want to say in this article. I do
not object to the Dism-minator being a po
Htlcal newspaper, nor do I deny the right
or duty of its editor to discus, political
issues. In fact there has been a very gen
oral complaint among its readers that it has
not discussed the real vital Issues during
this campaign. But what I want to more
particularly say is this 1 For some year,
past the DrmiHator and its friends have
caused the impression to prevail through,
out this county that that paper was the or
gan of organized farming inlerets,and that
it would devote its best energies to the pro
motion of these Interests In such a non
partisan manner as to meet the hearty ap
proval of all farmer without regard to par
ty. Under these circumstances, what has
been it course So fsr ss It lis expressed
an opinion during this campaign In regard j
to thr issues of the tariff, that opinion hss I
been every time adverse to the Interest of
the farmers. Every time it ba apokendts
words have tended to strengthen the mo
nopolies of the country 1 bat do now hold,
and have for year held, the interest of
the farmer snd laboring men in their
grap. I have been a laborer and farmer
sll my life, snd know something of the
burden which protected monopolies snd
"trust" impose upon the laboring and farm
ing ctassea. And while farmers are only
common people, the Dissrminatar need not
presume upon their entire Ignorance of the
various questions involved in the discussion
of the tariff issue. Every intelligent farm
er knows that It 1 a serious detriment to
his interests to collect large su.ns of money
amounting to eight or nine millions dollar
every month more thsn i needed to meet
the expenses of the government, and then
lock this money up in the treasury where
no man can use it This makes money
scarce, an unwarranted contraction of the
money of the people. Every ane farmer
knot, that, as a class, seven out of every
ten farmers are always in debt Now, when
the government contracts it circulating
medium an Injury is done to the debtor
class, for thi contraction, while, limiting
the number of dollars in circulation.increas
e the purchasing power of the dollar, thus
making it more difficult to get possession
of. Now, how doc the Diitrmaator pro
pose to remedy the evil of hoarding the
people's money up. Every man In his right
mind and uninfluenced by his party preju
dice, will say, "reduce the taxation under
which this surplus increases." But the Dis-
yrmiHitior ba two ways which it recom-
mends to reduce the surplus, neither of
which is in the interest of the farmer. One
i to continue to collect tbe high war cus
toms taxes and spend the money in Urge,
and, what it calls, liberal appropriations for
various public improvements. The other
is to buy outstanding bonds not now due,at
a big premium for the bondholder.and con
tinue to collect the high taxes on the labor
ing people and farming classes of the coun
try. Under no circumstances does that
paper propose to reduce the duties on the
necessaries of life in the way of food and
clothing. It say it will labor consistently
and conscientiously in the interests of the
farming and laboring interet,but when it
I proposed to reduce the tax on lumber,an
article essential to the. farmer, it objects. It
objects to outline salt on the free list. It
opposes.just like the party it belongs to,all
reduction Of the protection system . In no
way would It be possible to labor more
"conscientiously" for the interest of the
farmer and laboring man than to secure
the putting of jute sacks, salt and lumber
on the free list, and yet the Disseminator
opposes all this and stands by its platform
that declares it favors the repeal of the en
tire internal revenue system rather than
viir,vndir any part of tbe protective ys
1 peal s' i si 'ir- '-mma reve

u.t . olcwniuig.ii... nog, and that is
hat on Disseminator wou.d do rather than
surrender any part of the protective system.
Does that paper call this laboring in the
i nterest of the farmer ? Does it think they
are all Idiots to be wheedled and deceived
xs it chooses ? No longer need it attempt
to make people believe that it is the organ
of organized farming interests in this coun
try. I have no hesitation in saying that to
oppose the attempt now being made to se
cure a reduction of the war taxes is to de
clare one's self as an open enemv to the
farmers best interests. It is not enough
for a newspaper tu merely announce that
it is in favor of ihe best interests of the
farmer. Jt acts will show whether that is
true. r armer.
The Minneapolis Daily Ewnimg Star and
Duluth Industrial Age announce their in
tention to bolt the republican state ticket.
The Star say : "This paper will support
f . t ,! 1 1 - .1 A. t .li
1 mr. Wilson nccause ne anu ine piauorin
which he stands upon represent without
equivocation the principles cf tax reduc
tion and tariff reform." The Duluth Age
says : "Contrary to every expressed hope
of the industrial element, the republican
state convention at St. Paul nominated W.
R. Merriam for Governor. Mr. Merriam
represents everything that is vicious in
politics and opposed to the working classes.
His record should wreck the party which
had the audacity to place him in nomina
tion. The Age will support E, M. Wilson."
The Chinese government has 1 ejected
the treaty. Now what has become of the
hole in which the president had been
placed by the senate. Pluck Is good. Luck
is good. Both overcometh all.
