A Word to til. Boys.

In our visits to the Santa Fe depot at
the time of the arrival of trains, we have
frequently observed the recklessness of
the boys who congregate at that place on
such occasions in large numbers, and
amuse themselves by the operation of u
free circus which, while it may be vastly
enjoyable TO themselves, is 4 source OF
great annoyance TO the employees at the
depot, the travelling public, and worse
than all, imperils the safety of the par
Elephants IN this daily racket.
Hopping on and off trains while they
are in motion is one of the principal
sources of delight with our young
friends and when we consider the dan
ger with which this operation is always
attended, we ere surprised that we have
not been called upon ere now to cliron
icle the loss of life or limb as the result
OF its daily occurrence, as we will surely
be under the painful necessity of doing
il this business continues
Agent TorringtOn has made many
futile efforts to correct this evil, and as
the lads who have persistently defied his
admonitions seem to have passed beyond
the restraints of home discipline
it might possibly be wei
for the policeman to take the matter il
hand, and either suppress this daily as
sembling together of the boys at the de
pot or oblige them to let up in theil
noise and cOnfine themselves to proper
bounds in the enjoyment of their sports
We have no disposition to interfere will
the legitimate prerogaties of the boy
in any direction, but we like them to-
well to see their hopeful young lives cut
short by the devastating car wheel anC
would prefer chronicling the success o
their efforts in less hazardous fields O
endeavor, than to writing up Obituarie
over the mangled corpses of persisten
car-jumpers.

INTERESTING TO HomEsrEADras.

The much mooted question involved
in the granting Of benefits intended by
the act of June Is, 1850, which refers
specially TO the right of all persons " no
had taken homestead prior to June
Is, 1880, has at last been decided by
the Department in that the homesteader
can, if he SO desires, make proof by the
payment Of 81 25 per acre in cash or
by Special Deposit Certificate at his OPP
ton, at the same rates, less the amount
Of fees which had been paid at date of
entry. It is also further decided that
al homesteads taken. prior to the date
Of above act, whether settled upon now
or not, as well az homes1eads actually
resided upon, can now be paid at 81 %
per acre lees tie fees paid at date Of
entry as above stated This decision
virtually leaves the homesteader in po-
sition TO buy the homestead, even if he
has abandoned It, and no further settle
ment is required. Applying only to
theadgantageof thosewhose claims were
taken prior TO June Is, So,neednot ex-
pect or attempt to take advantage of it.
Great complaint has been occasloned by
this recent decision, and it is possible
an attempt win be made TO have the
act repealed, thereby dcpriying all those
who have neglected having their home
steads paid for before of the benefits
intended by the act, and which repeal if
possible can only be taken advantage Of
by an Immediate proof on all home
steads possible.

TRIAL OF THE TuOHAsEs.

The following is in substance the tes-
timony gathered from The thirty wit
Eesses examined in the Brumfeld mur-
der case, closed last week in the Walla
Wslla court: It appears that 4 party
consisting Of BIr. and Mrs. Brumfeld
and Ir. and Mrs. Thomas arrived at a
hotel IN that place on the 28th of Jan
uary last, and soon after, purchasing a
team, the entire party set out for the
Palouse, but after crossing the Touchet,
some 20 miles distant, 10 more was
seen of GTr Brumfeld, who, at that
time, was known to possess a consider
able amount of wealth, mostly IN U. S.
bonds and bank securities. The re-
naming party Of three, when about 90
miles from Big Lake, stopped about a
month with a man named Shafer. 1t
is shown that Thomas about that time
visited Colfax and soId certificate of
deposit on the First National Bank OF
Walla Walla, in favor of s. w. Brun-
field also showed Z. S. bonds in favor
Of Brumfeld, and while staying at this
place the two went by the name Of
Brumfeld, and the woman by the name
Of Lizzie Thomas. Twenty miles from
this place Thomas and his wife were
travelling alone, and to the query con-
cerning the whereabouts Of Mrs. B.,
responded that SIZE had taken the stage.
a little farther on he sold the team and
rode into WalIa Waila with a farmer,
aud Immediately started East, being
captured at Kansas City. On the 9th
day Of March the body Of man was
found on the Touches with bullet hole
in Lis head, but was not recognized m
til the papers published The story Of the
double murder.
The evidence vas al in on Monday
of last week. VIXEN the case was sut-
mitted to The jury, who returned a YER
dict against Thomas Of wiIful murder,
and he will have to hang What dis
POSITION has been made CT the case
against the woman ne are not informed.
That she Is equally guilty with Thomas
there can be no doubt.

4 nOxunESTAL FoLlY.

Perhaps the great monumental folly
of the late Republican Legislature was
the enactment of the faw providing for
building an insane asylum. 1t is easy
enough to pass bill resolving that an
asylum shall be built, but it is another
thing to raise tho money for its con-
struction. True, it can be raised by
oppressive taxation and by heaping ex-
cessiye burdens upon the people, but all
this was in nowise needed. Our young
commonwealth has beenalmost swamped
by the erection of public buildings al
ready, and this contemplated colossal
pile of brick viii add many thousands
Of dollars to the States Indebtedness.
There is nothing that so retards the
growth of a young country as a public
debt. Capital will avoid such coun-
try, and without capital there can be
no encouragement for tho settling up
and development of the country. Ore.
gon, with all of her vast RESOURCES com,
paratively undeveloped, must have but
uphill work to induce capital and en-.
terprise to invest in her domain while
she is staggering under the weight ol
heavy indebtedness and consequent
heavy taxes.
We agree with the Jacksonville
Times, that the building Of this asylum
"will involve the outlay Of vast thous
ands of dollars Of public money, with
out being a necessity. We doubt
whether there Is a county in the State
excepting Marion, of course) wher,
this scheme meets with any particular
favor, and the opposition will become
stronger when the taxes for this noun
tain of extravaganoe beaOme due. And
yet the legislators that lent themselve.
to this scheme sat within an unfinished
building that has proved an elephant
on the hands of the people, and still il
far more of a necessity than the grea
asylum which will soon be commenced
Oregon is yet too young q State to in
dnlgs in public buildings requiring
long strain of heavy taxation to par
for them"

ALRANY rLTY ELEcTIoN.

For years past the party lines ia our
city have been closely 6rlwn. Fre-
quently the contest has been 50 close
that only a vote would decide the 70.
suit. &c is perhaps within the knowl-
edge ei many Of the readers of the
DEMooRAT that ono vote elected the
Mayor in this city. Hence the neees.
sity that every vote should be polled
next Monday. If the contest is to be
made political, then let every Demo
crat stand by his ticket.
Both parties have called Conventions,
hence party lines are drawn. Then let
Democrats nominate strong ticket
and stand by it, and there can be no
question as to the result.
Heretofore the Democrats have
adopted temporizing polioy-they
have given way to every 'sism" that the
Republicans elsimed, aud now they
should assert their rights-sinoe the
issue is thrust upon them--and demand
that there should be no temporizing
with the enemy. "To err is humaS, to
forgive is divine" This axiom is per-
haps better to DO observed at all times,
and yet the Demofratic party have
ho,.,,o ,,a4;avk ipsnlfd to euch an exIent
that Democrats might at least claim the
right of critieising their adversary with
out retaliative pursuit. Democrats
have erred in the past by not standing
fast to their eolors, aud have also exer-
eised the divine attribute for forgive
ness even when they were robbed of a
President. Is it not about time that
tn ere should be two sides to this ques-
ton
Let Democrats hereafter stand firmly
by their ticket. Let Us have no dick
ering, trading or temporizing with the
opposition. Democrats always lose by
policy dodges, and always should lose.
Let us see how many straight tickets
can be cast at the election next Mon.
day. Even If we are defeated let us
show solid front and convince the gal
liant Democracy of the rest of the coun
ty, who give US our Hajorities, that WI
are true to the colors under which oul
party has carried Old Linn f5r many 1
year.

When the census figures began to
colnesfrom the South it was thought
that they were uuduly inflated for
the purposes OF fraud in Congression-
al representation. Tie census ofi-
GERS were appointed by a Republican
Administration, yet their work was
rot accepted as reliable, and in quite
a number Of suspected places the emu
meration has been made over again
with the greatest care. The result is
to sustain the correctness of the pre-
vioas figures, except that il two or
three places the population iSactualIy
larger than was at frz l.aimed, a
showing that perhara5wing to the
longer lime and greater care taken
by the second enumerators. The
truth is the South las been progress
ing much more ayorably than the
p.ess has given Us any reason to ex-
pet. Texas has increased in popu-
lation at a rate surprising that Of any
other state in the Union. Several Of
the older Southern States show gains
quite large.

AlnASY, Nov 20, 1880.

ALnAxY, Nov. 20, 1880
Editor Democrat
Il seems to me there could be no
more appropriate time for few sugges-
tions as to the future of Albany than
the present. Teeming with wholly or
partially nndeveloped resources, that
only need unfolding by tho magical
wand of capital, and properly directed,
energetic industry, to make il pros
porous city Of unlimited possibilities, it
is lying almost dormant, doing only a
small country and shipping trade, and
this merely because no effort is being
made for more.
Healthful location, possessing a
splendid water power, salubrious, pleas
ant climate, fair railroad and river con-
nections, present and prospective, and
surrounded by section of country that
would become tributary TO it as fast as
it became producer of what manufae-
tured articles the country consumed,
and therefore consumer of what the
country produces, no one will deny that
it possesses fair share Of natural and
artificial advantages, and amply sufIi-
cient to make it, with proper effort, a
large manufacturing town. In some
special classes of raw material, such as
flax, for instance, no location on the
coast has as good advantages, while for
nearly every class of mechanical and
agricultural implements ii is as near the
raw material, and as convenient for
their distribution to consumers as any
place on the coast. Wool, wheat, and
the canning and preservation of nearly
all classes of fruits and vege tables, sug.
gest profitable investment for capital
here.
just at the present time there il
great activity in all commercial and
monetary circles, and capital is being
withdrawn from class Of investments
ints which it was forced by cautious
fear Of ris&ing money in manufacturing
concerns, and is again seeking invest
ment in the latter class Of enterprises
\ large share of the wealth Of the
country, more especially of the Western
States, is now idle, or nearly so, as fai
as permanent investment goes. WhAt
we want here in Albany is TO draw
some Of this idle capital here, and Will
it, live, wide-awake men who can Sc,
and will grasp the opportunities tina
are here and develop our resources. Tn,
expenditure of few hundred dollar
in the way Of advertising our advan
tages could be made now with coot
prospects of an immediate profitable
result. This would involve but small
contribution, per capita, for our citi
zens, ard it is believed, if the matte
could be placed before them, in tan
gible and reliable shape, by citizen'
committee, who would sutherize sub
scriptions FOR the purpose, and the pre-
paration Of proper documents and meth
DDS of distribution, it would meet will
a hearty support. VIII not some o
our leading citizens consider the matte
and take it in hand by calling meet
ing and giving the move an impetus
