THE DAILY DEMOCRAT. TBI BTATB BIGIITi DE MOCK AT. He would bean unnatural parent who failed In Ine gladdening recognition of hU own offspring. An old man now, with memory of the years that have gone, 1 re call the establishment of the Staid Rights Democrat In 1S65 when democrats of weak heart In the doctrineof Jefferson and in the faith of Jackson owned that State Rights was a "treasonable heresy." They bended the knee to the occasion and prostrated theh forms In the mud of political mire Without the back bone doctrine of State Rights, the federation of the states is a rope of stnd. Union! What is Union? It Is a confederation of eqnal powers mu tually agreeing In respect to defense and offence as toward all other powers rom bined. State Rights is the spinal column of this union It Is the rudder of the ship of state. Departure from the doctrine will be as floating upon the sea of circumstance, the haven is In the accidents to probable safety, to possible disaster. To tal e State Rights from the states Is as taking the back-bone from the Union. "Old Linn" used to be the banner county of Oregon, Marion was its neniest peer and Lane was debatable. Ths young generation do not remember Delazon Smith. He was for years the foremost represenative of Linn county and ended his life after he held a place in the United States Senate, Do the dwellers in Linn county generally know that the name of the county was the grateful compliment of the early pioneers who cherished the memory of Lewis F Linn, Untied States Senator from Mis souri, colleague of great Tom Benton from 1R3J until his death in 1843? Linn county Is central In the mighty valley of the Wil lamette. The towering Cascade Range guards it. The Willamette laves It, and h tributaries help In the fructifying pro cess. Linn countv will forever be the key stone county of the Willamette. I re call names and persons. It is a friendly communication. These were solid men of Albany, The name was given to the town by Walter Monteith. He was of Al bany. New York, a sturdy whig in politics and honored in all his life time. His younger, brother, Tom Monteith was like wise conspicuous in Albany. There was McConnell, strictest of democrats, honest 'rom his toes up to his poll. Martin Payne, the Burkhart brothers, good old Matthew Fountain of HarrUburg, and Hiram Smith, old man Haley of Peoria, and straight John T Crooks of Syracuse and the Cabtrees of "Canada," (the Forks. Lord) what democrats they were. Old John, avorldupois, 190, that of his little bunch of a wife 242 pounds. There wa? a fair division la the marriage. She was a Virginia widow of nine children, Johny Crabtree a widower with nine children. They married and emigrated to Oregon, settled in the forks of the Santlam and in creased the household to twenty boys and girls. The Crabtrees and the Bllyeus were noted stock In the 'Canada" (Forks,) region. Hugh L Brown of Brownsville' Enoch Hoult and Wlltoughby of Harris burg and "Rob Cochran of La he and Wil liam of Linn, the Price brothers, John Crawford and his intense Scotch Irish brother who would always pronounce fiift. "fash" estimable Dr. Hilt, his good son, Llndsey, a boy of mine. In enduring memory, held because of his Intelligence and worth, solid and reticent John Conner the banker. It was a remarkable Incident that on his counter, when he kept hard ware store away back In 1S63 4 there rested undisturbed a package of $2,000 In gold coin, forwarded from Jacksonville, directed to Portland, by Tracy k Co, who afterwards sold to Wells Fargo & Co. and dispatched by C C Beekman of Jackson ville, of first class respomlbilltv. The package reached Albany on a Sunday morning about 6 o'clock and was duly checked. The next stopping place was Salem. J C Bell was the Wells Fargo & Co's agent. A clerk attcn led to the ex press matter. There was no package of money as way billed. The money did not reaca Portland. The $2,000 wa the missed quantity. Wells Fargo & Co's a gent at Portland paid the sum. The clerk of J C Bell at Salem was suspected and dismissed. He was Innocent. One year afterwards on taking an inventory ot stock, honest John Conner picked up a weighty packag from his counter, supposing It to be hinges .but upon tearing open the wrap ping, he discovered It to be $:o pieces one hundred of them. The mlt.lng $2,000 had been for the year on the counter of John Conner's hardware store in Albany in its wrapping of strong pper as only so much hardware. John Conner was strict ly hone-t In the find. He Immediately communicated the fact, Tracy was reinstat ed and made happy. John Con net's thick : eye-brows never concealed wrong of' which he was cognizant, I started to pav a compliment to your fine newspaper. 1 have strolled into remlnUcences. I will cease. There used to be a Rainwater across the Willamette from Albany. 1 fear any further down pour this season. Here In California we have had enough. It is not the thing to "take waer" save with discretion. To take leave Is belter. J AMIS O'MkARA. Santa Roa Cat. Mar. 17 iSyt Natural gas is now used in 104 steel work I in tY,m ,mlru ... k. .
