Blildinu Akmk-iations. Several Al bany gentlemen have been contcmnlat ing joining the American Iluliding and Loan Association of Minneapolis. As the following from the Pendleton E.O, treats on tnc subject we publish it gratia: "Some few Pendleton members of the American Building and Loan Association of Minne apolis expressed themselves as somewhat dissati.fied with stock certificate received and with the general method of the ao ciation. In thUconncctton the oft-quoted remark that it is better to patronize or be long to a home Institution, doubtlea finda its verification. A thorough examination and comparlon proves the superiority of the local organization, the Oregon Build -ln and Loan Association, over one the interests of which arc elsewhere.

CEXKt'BKtt J. J. Winant, of the Bay, says the steimcr could Jiavc been saved by the uacof its anchor, but Mr. Winant aays the ofHcers of the rod seemed to be afraid of a little expense and so the shin was wrecked. Mr. W. talks in remarkably plain language, and if what he says Is true, there are certainly grounds for censure of the management of the wreck. Not Ix.naxc. Several weeks ago the Democrat mentioned a difficulty beyond cio between Mr. Wrightand Mrs. Piatt,Iti which an ox was ahot. and Mr. WHf ht ar rested and discharged. -Now comes Mr. wrlcht m'.oUourt and has Mrs. Fiatt ex amined on a charge of inaanity.

A Bio Rope.

Presley a journalistic gentleman who wus In that city a few days ago. We had almost ex actly the same experience; but didn't con 6ider it worth an item, though "Bob makes a very good one out of it. A Rii'plk op Excitement. It was 1:30 o'clock, when, amidst a scarcity of Items, the sharp report of a revolver rang out on the air, less than a block from the office of this lndlspctuible family newspaper. And again another shot followed with alacrity With 576 other people a Democrat man hastened to the corner of Ferry and Sec ond Street where an Incrcaalng confusion was reigning supreme, and a telegraph pole man was crylng"shootthe other man, don't shoot me, hit the man with the revol ver." Here's the story : James Allen, a cook on the Oregon Pacific after quitting work on the road came to this city and (or a week has been glorioualy ginned up, last evening wallowing in the gutters. I le was taken to the 'callboose, where he slept Previous to the lime mentioned Marshal Hayes took him his dinner. Allen made an excuae to go to an out building, and the Marshal went inaide of the calibooae ; but returning to the door saw Allen fleeing around the corner 01 the engine house I ollwlng him he fired two shots in order to frighten him, and the telegraph man claimed one of them whizzed close to his head. Allen was stopped at the corner of Ferry and Third Streets and taken back to the calibooae, where he will probably re main for five days. The affair caused con tidcrablcTxcIicmcnt for a few moments.

On the evening of the battle among the Chinese highbinders at Port 'and Mrs. Mol'de Harris atood at the front gate of her home, awaiting the arrival of her hutband to sunper. She heard the rapid and continual firing of arms and was anxious to know what it all might be. A young man, a neighbor, was paa ing and of him she inquired what was go ing on. lie told her that "the Chineae were havlnir a biz war and her husband had in passing by accidently been shot." She uttered a scream, ran into the house, and is now In the Insane oavlum. Such joking on a serious matter lit simply out rajjeou. Special Meeting. A special meeting of the City Council was held last Thursday to consiJer the proposed extension of the city limits. Mr. Hackleman, Mr. Bryant and Capt. Lanning whom It brings inside the limits were present and favored the movement, making suggestions In refer ence to the same. Tabler, Hoffman and Wrilsman were appointed a committee on the survey of the same to be made by Mr. waincr. Will Get Mao. A young German while out hunting six or eight mites back of Hood river, was mistaken for a deer and shot. The bullet entered the abJomcn. The man Is reported be In a very crit ical condition. We are going to get mad if this kind of fooiiahncsa docs not stop. Our Legislature should pats a law making this common mistaking of men for animal a criminal offense. Fhek.iit Ahead. There Is said to be freight ahead enough for five months work with the present facilities of the Ore con Pacific, a fact1 which makes the present dlaaatcr so much the more aerious. The "Willamette Valley," which Is always piloted Into the bay by its own pilot, never has had a bobble, and people generally do not believe-there was anv excuse for the present accident to the "Yaquina Bay." A Good Adv.-. -Following Is the adver tisement, which the Ssletn Board of Trade haa been running in nearly a thousand ag ricultural and family papers through the East : "Come to the land of the big red apple, pears, prunesctc, where the climate is o mild grats remains green during all the year. The U. S. census report shows Oregon to be the healthiest State In the Union. Rich lands cheap. Send stamps for an illustrated pamphlet to Board of Trade, Salem, Or. The citv is already receiving a great benefit from ft. An cflort like this U about the only one that will benefit our city very materially. A Law Suit. Wednesday the case of Curran & Monteith against Hunter, was tried before Judge Blackburn. It was one of some interest. Several weeks ago the plaintiffs allege that Mr. Hunter made U-crbal arrangement with them to sell some land belonging to him, for which they were to receive, a commission, ihe land was sold, as the readers of the Democrat will remember. Mr. Hunter refused to pay the commission and Curran & Monteith sued him for $450. After hearing the case a verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiffs for $3 So. It is understood that the case will be appealed. A Joke, Wm. Wright.familiarly known as the Jersey Lily, was in the city y ester uay and to-day. A good joke is told on Billy, which happened at Mehama a few evenings ago, while attending a dance. He and another fellow's girl were taking promenade, and the evening being very dark, they tumoiea neadiong into a ilifcii of mud and water. Billy couldn't swim, but with the assistance of the young lady he was rescued from a watery grave. Cor- valiis Junes. Came Here Instead. Mr. Macey, of Lebanon, who has had the smallpox, was hired to disinfect the house in which Mr. G us Thompson died of the smallpox near Sodaville recently. This he did. He .was offered a good price to. go to the mountains for several weeks in order to be on the safe ; but not wanting to do this he came to Albany Thursday, and was here duringthe forenoon. We understand, though, that he went south on the noon train. Lost, Strayed, or Stolen. A young man with a pink mustache and fair com plexion, He answers to the name of T. D Porter. When last heard from he was at Woodburn, wearing sad eyes and a sack. coat. Any Information leading to hia whereabouts will be thankfully received at the Capital Journal office. Salem Jour nal. . -; Married. Mr. F," A. Douty, of Inde pendence and Miss Julia-Lee, of Junction City, daughter of Mrs. C. O. Lee, of this city, were married In Junction Dec 12. We extend congratulations. THE MAN ABOUT TOWX A Kansas lady after being married only two months has run off with a newspaper man. Hereafter the Man About Town will carry a revolver for self protccllon. I : Nothing does one more good than to give, which Is more blessed than to receive.

"Queen of the Pa cific" were wrecked, has the following to say about the wreck of the "Yaquina Bay,' which, if the editor has any eyes at all, he must know had nothing to do with the har bor: "The Oregon Development com pany s new steamer 4 1 aqulna Bay' I ashore a few hundred feet from where hci preuecesaor, we aquina my,' was wrecked last December. There Is a possl bility that she may be saved, but a strong probability that she will be a total loss. It is expensive business tryln? to make a first class seaport out of a tenth class harbor." The following Is from the Hartford Items In the Washington county Adwrliter, of Fort Edward, New York, "ard is a nice notice of some new residents of Albany : "Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Chamberlin and their son Allle. and daughter Winnie, of this place, left Nor. 37th for Aibanv, Or. They take the excursion from Eagle Bridge. The doctor and family have hosts of friend In uartiord, who sadly regret their leavine town. The doctor has been a very sue- ccssful physician in this place for many vcars and he will be greatly ml. ted pro fessionally, as many think there is no doc. tor like Docter Chamberlin. The wish of their many friends Is, abundant succea and prosperity." Pokes Ft hat U.

Recently Mr. Fradr, brother-in-law of Fritz Huffman, sent a team over to the farm of R. D. Murray, Sn charge of a man going by the name of Smith. Smith went right on to McMtnn vllle, where he dUposed f the team to a liveryman, receiving part pay. Hired a horse and went to Portland, selling there. fradr returned Saturday with .he team. after having paid $15 livery bill in McMinn- ville. Stoletiie Pans.

Shortly after a tramp espied the pans and took them off, and wa trying to sell them when the farmer who bv this time had miascd them came upon him and took them away, letting the tramp go In peace to hi great disgust, who fully expected to be ar rested and led at public expense.

Filthy lucre has gained Its victory, yet we are not dcfcatcd,nclther are we dismay ed. The great battle for reduced taxation and revenue reform Is In reality just begun, and will be fought to the end and to victory if It takes the remaining year of the pres ent century. So, comrades, you true,noble hearted boy In the trenches, we bid you to be of good cheer. The old ship will sure ly land and upon the flag flying from the foremast will be plainly discerned the words "Revenue Reform." The democratic party has survived all tests and has over come every ordeal. It has emerged from a National encounter in which success 1 denied it by so small a margin, as to make the republican victory almost a defeat.The old ship entered the contest brimful of In tcr 1 r diten!crs. To-day, democracy thoroughly united. The popular vote told which way the wind blew, and that vote wa a flattering compliment to democratic leaders. Though wc lost the presidency, yet we received 100,000 more vote than the enemy. We faced the country with an issue for which it wa not prcpared,not hav ing been sufficiently educated thereon To-day ,and until democracy wins.the tariff Is, and will be, the issue of the hour. Dem ocracy rise amid the wreck of personal ambition and private fortunes, an Immor tal Giant, grandest in defeat. Clad in the armor of the Constitution, and bearing the battle-axe of truth, the democratic party embodies the hope of all good citizens who are not wedded to tbe false god of Pluto cracy and Mammon or tied to the chariot wheels of sectional strife. Upon demo cracy' tablet are written : 1st. Equal taxes for all men. 2nd. Home rule for all the state. 3rd. Representative party gov ernment, the surest guaiantce of honest administration, 4th. Thehonorof the Na tion, the interest of every section, and the public credit, the common heritage of the people. 5th. No subsidies ; no surplu ; no steal in the disguise of charity, and no bribe in the disguise of patriotism. 6th. The union ; the constitution ; the flag. "What shall we do ?" I constantly heard among dcmocrats.and a matter now stand we have been elected to do nothing. Two year must elapse before we choose a rcw gress and four year must flit by ere we decide who is to be I larrlson's successor. So we have ample time for reflection. Let us patiently wait and watch. Meanwhile in the lour of defeat only small, narrow- minded spirits will fume and worry over Ihe irremediable. This is no lime for mock heroics, except among republicans. Some think the battle was lost us on the tariff is. sue. If that be true, it were better so ; for brave and conscientious mcn.who fight for Heaven-inspired cause, can afford to be beaten, for they know truth and right must prevail and will rise triumphant some day, and they who stood by those sterling prin ciples will rise with it. Theenemy' press making much ado about the negro- Grant, during his eight year of almost ab- striute monarchist rule.could not,or atleaat did not, ameliorate the alleged suffering of that race unfortunately given the right of franchise ; so If Mr. Harrison w ill be a man and not be led by a string whilst the chiv alrous Ingall grinds his hand organ, he will let the negro question seveiely alone and with alt true democrats over the land recommend and secure legislation that will make taxes general and not special ; ex penditures frugal, not wasteful, and at all haaards have local self-government main tained. The questions to-day dividing the twe great parties are practical ; they relate to conduct and course of government The attitude of cither party toward any question of the day is determined from the theories which they have held from the beginning. We confidently expect to see the republican party break down in its attempt to govern the country. It is still a war party. It is not for National use or for a state of peace. Its cohesive principle Is a system of legal ized robbery and jobbery ,born of war.whlch appeals to organized capllal.and the pledge of a system of agrarian pillage, given to an army of camp follower, with whom it pro poses to disgrace the American soldiers roll of honor, the pension list. Such Is, in truth, the republican party, and whatever it attempts that I in variance with the constitution and the right of state and mankind under it will be met by the honest democrat of Ihe East, West, North and South, who shall settle the ene my's fate when the time roll round for voting again.. Let u therefore be patient Notice well every movement cf theenemy. Do not allow him to flank us, and now as the new year is well nigh upon us let us resolve to do our duty toward our errirrg brethren by explaining to them just what democracy is and what it will do on its re turn to power. . May every reader of the Democrat, the editors, typos and devil, each one of them, enjoy a Merry Christ mas and Happy New Year,.ls the wish of, Sincerely Yours, Youxo DEMocstAcr. Albany, Dec. 15th, 1SS8. The taxable nronertv in Linn county a t i j . returned by the assessor is one million dol tars more than the taxable property of Marlon county as returned by the assessor in that county. Everv one conversant with the two counties knows that the taxable property of Marion county at par value exceeds that of Linn at par value by at least one million dollars. Here is a greyiaus wrong and the coming legislature would do well to expend all their aggregated wisdom Is righting this wrong. If no relief ; is glven.the people of Linn will feel it their duty to Insist on their assessor making his assessment low enough to correspond with other counties. This is self-defence. The taxable property of Marion county! for the year iSSS is $1,980,821, less than was in 18S7. No sane man would, lor a moment, think that there has .been any shrinkage in the values of taxable property in Marion county.
