Daily Democrat Albany is not boomlng.she Is just grow ing right along like a great, big, stout, healthy boy. The man who stands on the corner singing "wait for the wagon" will g?t left. ' The list of hotel arrivals published in the Ortfom'an tells its ewn tale. The ru6h to Oregon, and the Willamette valley espe cially ,ls altogether unprecedented. Albany fe els the effect of it very perceptibly The loss from insect ravages in this coun try may appear small, but Prof. Riley esti mates the annual damage as high as $500,. 000,000. This is enormous, and equals the entire product cf some of the cereal crops. This does not include the cost of labor de voted to the destruction of insects, or for methods preventing depredation, but the value of the amount destroyed. The idea of making trouble far the vic tim of strong drink is pot exactly in line with sentimental and return-ation theories, but is spreading a good deal. Some of the Eastern legislatures are following the Min nesota example. As drunkenness is shame ful and a nuisance, it is insisted that the party guilty of it shall feel the harsh grip of the law in person.rather than in a vica rious way. A Philadelphia paper regards it about as rational to hang up the maker of the gun and let the murderer who used it escape, as to punish the maker or seller f intoxicants for the excess of those who drink them. The illustration will.however, hardly be accepted by prohibitionists. 1 5 SPECIALTIES. Patrick Egan of Nebraska is said to be booked for the Mexican mission. He is needed by the Administration to curb Brit. ish influence in the sister republic. Th ink is hardly dry on Patrick Egan's natur aliz?tion papers. lie has been a cith-en.we believe, less than thiee years. It is a hard commentary upon the people of this coun try that none can be found to properly rep resent us in Mexico except this newly made American. The inference that the longer a man has been a citizen the less he is qualified to protect the interests of his coun try is quite an indictment against our institutions. If you have not already subscribed to the woolen mill bonus now is the time to do it. There is $2500 yet to raise. Let every man put down something. Summer Wraps. Novelties in beaded and stockinet jackets just received. Samuel E. Young. From Brownsburg, Indiana, comes the story, (true.of course,) that a young lady tent a note to a discarded lover.requesting the return of a lock of hair, which, in the whilom hours of courtship, he had clipped from her dainty tresses. Rumaging his trunk he collected a number of locks, cull ed from various ' best girls" during his love making career,and forwarded them in a bundle to the girl, inclosing a note to the effect that he had really forgotten which was hers, but she might select it from those forwarded and return the rest at her con venieace. One day last week thirty-six female doo tors were sent out with the professional label by a medical institution in Philadel phia. It was not a rare event. There Is no doubt that woman is making her way in that vocation,with a good deal of success. Every considerable town has more or less women doctors.and they are believed to be gaining a fair share of practice. The great est obstacle they meet is the prejudice in their own sex. It is a singular fact that women are much less ready than men to believe that the female mind can grasp the supposed mysteries of the art that impress es with classic obscurity of terms and wise semblance. An English syndicate is reported to have purchased 2.000,000 acres of land in New Mexico, and Is fitting it up far the largest farm in the world. It is to be devoted to he various departments of productlon.The owners have great wealth, and will operate it with tenantry from their alien residence. Immense farms have been found in Dako. ta to be detrimental to the development of the country and building up of society, and there should be meant for defeating their formation by the use of new or gov ernment lands. They drain the country as far as possible, and prevent its settling up with the men who will make permanent homes. But fortunately, great farms do not generally last long in this country. A few severe losses are apt to discourage the owners,and they cut up the vast domain into small farms and sell. We are informed by the republican press that Mr. Schuyler was'finally adjudged un fit to be Assistant Secretary of State be cause his Americanism was in doubt. While we do not pretend that this descend ant of brave old Philip Schuyler can have any such tried Americanism as is ascribed to Patrick Egan, a veteran citizen of two long years' experience, yet it would seem that after being Consul at Moscow and Rev el.Secretary of Legation at St Petersburg and Conttanllnople, Consul at Birmingham and Coniul-General at Rome, Diplomatic Agent, Consul-General and Minister Resi dent in Soumania, Mr. Schuyler might plead that his country had somewhat cer tified to his Americanism. Among the coming devices of Edison is promised the "linguagraph." A Minneap oils man is said to be interested with him in this patent. The immediate purpose of it is to do away with the annoying shrieks of the steam whistle by substituting a ma chine that can talk. It will shout "brakes" In place of the whistling for down brakes. It Is all a matter of valves, key-boards and pipes. At crossings and stations it will send out a piercing but melodious voice of warning. Of course the ponderous diapa son will be heard all through the train, and can be adjusted to announce the approach ing station. It may enable unfamiliar pas sengers to guess at the name of the place, which the present cheap elocution does not often render possible. If the device does this work on the railroads, there Is hardly a limit to Its possible uses. It will dispense with the human voice In a large and varied field. If musically Incltned.H can entertain travelers with melody .and perhaps song.
