The Little Mischief.
Only a wee little mortal,

Only a wee little mortal,
Asleep on the nursery floor,
Mid a pile OF neglected playthings,
Which litter the whole room Ter.
Two little fat arms lying
Over a curly head,
And smiles which awaken the dimples,
Parting the lips SO red.
Here's dolly with arms and legs broken,
And a terrible crack on her head,
And her cheeks washed white as lily,
That once was so rosy and red.
Poor Fido, the puppy, is whinings
Poor sellow, no wonder you wall
/ wonder what mischievous fingers
Fastened that cup to your tail.
1t was only that wee little mortal,
Asleep on tie nursery floor
And nurse stands aghast at the litter
Which covers the whole room DER.
Well, pick them up patiently nurse,
Over and over again,
Zen though that bundle OF mischief
WI. make all your labor but vain
Better home with a baby,
And a floor all Uttered with toys,
Than one that is empty forever
OF childish prattIe and noise.
So here's a kiss forthe darling!
On forehead, mouth and chin,
And wherever find dimple
Ill srluggle the kisses in.

POLITICAL NOTES.

"Nou cant Wran calf while it keeps

The straight Labor vote was pleasant
surprise to the actiy" independents, Now
for the organization Of tine wards, and
make preparation for the city and town
election next month.
Mansfield ran much ahead Of hi, ticket.
The nomination of Mr. Mansfield il thus
justified, ard the reason Of his non
election is not that he would not have
made good r"prcs"ntatV" lp Congress,
but bccausr the WorkiuguCn were not
wcancd from "party.
A person who will allow his expressed
political opinions to he bought for money
is low down in the scale of civilization
lIclis dishonest. The dishonest man
may reform, but il is best that he he not
trusted again and if he has truly re-.
formed, he will not ask confidence.
There seems to be a great hue and cry
over the shrirvalty business in this city.
The office has no political Significance,
and we are forced to the conclusion that
it il a mere matter of spoils that agitatce
the contcndIug factions. And it is sta
ted upon good authority that certain
"dcmucratiC" hrcIcrs received money
from on" of the candidates to help defeat
tn" candidate Of their own party The
heel"rs are known, and will he known to
their disadvantage in the future.
The election of Me9srs. lunr and
Corners ON the "drmurratic' ticket will
not necessarily prevent them from voting
right as representatives provided they
are not "dcmorr0ts' Of the Same stripe
as the general run Of that denomination.
Still, il would be strange if capitalists,
would permit men who are in layoruf the
naturalization of land, the abolition Of
national banks. the governmental control
of tcIegraphs and railroads, etc., to Urcl-
by II place on their ticket, Either the

Defended Ser Character.

The following has been received at this
Office from an unknown source. AS It is
interesting in any event we give it to our
readers
Mrs. Lisle, who shot aud killed w. r.
Roberts, at Denton, last week, for traducing
her character, had trial before Judge Piner
and was held to bail in the nominal sun. of
$500. Every body appeared to justify her
in the act. While we are opposed to the
idea of one person killing another, except in
self-defence, yet there are circumstances
that almost justify the act When a pure,
good woman has her character assai.ed and
stained by sIandersous words that flow from
the foul and polluted mouth of one who de-
sires 70 destroy her character and blight her
happiness, then we think, in self-defense,
(for the character of woman is more sacred
to her than life,) she has right TO kill him
and is fully justified in doing so. 1t is diff.
ferent with a man. His character may be
assailed and he gets over IT, 1t damages him
but little and but for a short while bu
when want of chastity is imputed to woman
she bears the stain and has to meet TIT
frowns of her own sex and be Stunned b.
all until death calls her away.

We need 4 wagon bridge across the river
at Albany as much as the people of Salem
do at their city. The people of that city
and vicinity raised fifty thousand dollars
for one. The benefit will repay the cost.
We have an opportunity now to have a
bridge at much less expenditure. One
could be built in connection with the o. p.
r. r. bridge at a comparatively small adj
ditional cost Our county and city cannot
afford to allow the opportunity pass to have
done Hoz, and what is done should be
done Immediately. Albany has never asked
the county for an appropriation for bridge.
1t is entitled to one. A greater number Of
people would be benefited by such high
way across the Willamette here than by
any other in the county. There are others
needed but this is needed more. Let the
people of this city show a commendable
enterprise at once and agitate the matter in
an earnest manner. Now is the time when
enterprise will tell. Good bridges build up
communities. Ferries across rivers like the
Willamette do not speak for community

.. y. Matters.

Last week the approach to the end OF the
proposed o. p. r. r. bridge, at this city,
was cleared of trees and brush wood. Mon
day the pile driver was constructed under
the charge of Mr. Nice, and Tuesday twas
taken to the position of the bridge. The
work Of driving piles Is progressing on the
north side Of the river. The building Of the
bridge is in charge of the o. P's. regular
bridge carpenter, Mr. NJ Campbell. The
"Three Sisters" Is busy, besides Its other
duties, in conveying piles and other material
to the site Of the bridge. The bridge will
be about five hundred feet long, and about
half mile Of trestle work will be required
on the approach to the north end OF the
same. The work of grading near Corval-
lis is being pushed as fast as possible. The
road starts out west of Corvallis and runs
along some distance that side of the West
Side r. r. when il takes line for Albany
through as fine lot OF farms as are to be
found in the State.
Farmers desiring bigger price, by sew
eral cents, for their wheat, than is Offered
by the Portland market, viii make arrange
ments to ship by way of this road.

AdversislBG.

The man who places ten-dollar adver-
tisement in his local paper and fatters him.
self that he Is an extravagant advertiser,will
be surprised to learn that yearly adver-
tisement, one column in length, In the Chi
cago Tribune costs the advertiser $4,000
Ex.
A column adj in the Tribune at Sss,ooo Is
the same as the same ad. in a weekly paper
with 1000 circulation at about $37s. An
Oregon paper though with nearly double a
thousand circulation Is considered exhorbi-
tant when it charges SIoo year for such
an ad. Advertising rates the world over,
among well managed papers are charged
for according to circulation. A paper with
thousand circulation should get nearly
twice as much for advertising as the one
with five hundred, and the one with two
thousand twice the one with a thousand.
Advertising pays according to the number
Of people paper reaches. All Il can do
though Is to call the attention of the public
to the article desired to be sold but no

When George Humphrey was sent to
walla walla TO see the man arrested for
w. w. Saunders man was sent whose
judgment the people Of Linn county had a
right to rely on In the matter When Mr..
Humphrey teiegraphed at Is not Saunders"
the DEMOCRAT was as well satisfied OF the
fact as II we had looked at the man ourselves.
II settled the matter completely with Us,
notwithstanding Il was reported certain Cor
wallis people said It was Saunders. In the
first place II could not be Saunders, as Il
would have been absolutely impossible for
a man 10 have left Albany Monday morn
Ing, gone to Harrington, joined gang Of
harvest hands and reached the vicinity OF
Walla Walla Tuesday, In the second place
Mr.. Humphrey knew who Saunders was as
we'll as any ono In Oregon or Texas even.
In the third place those who claimed Il was
Saunders were not people who had right
ao be relied on In the natter ~ they knew
little of him. Now that We know some.
thing about what kind OF a looking man the
Walla Waila man was we wonder that any
mistake could have been made at all. lie
was eoarse, rough looking man ; Saun.
ders was, In measure, refined In his nc.
tons and possessed fine education. The
Walla Walla man was fully forty, wrinkled
In the face, his teeth black and worms and he
was nearly two inches taller than Saunders.
His teeth were his own. Saunders had two
or three false teeth, Notwithstanding con-
trary reports. The walIa walla man had
. scar on his face. Saunders none. In fact
they looked as much alike as a potato and
a pumpkin. When Mr.. Humphrey saw
Chestnuts, as he gave hts name, he lmme.
diately said Il was not Sunderland he very
properly returned home without the man.
lie had no right to bring an innocent man
here, though chestnuts told him he would
gladly come, even in irons, a. nc wanted to
60 to California. Mr.. II. hit the nail a
pretty solid blow when he told Portland
paper that "what the officer at walla Walla
wanted was the $Isoo reward, and the al
thorities OF Linn county Saunders"
No case has ever occurred In the North.
west attracting such attention rs this. In
many respects Il Is a remarkable one. Per-
haps Il Is not to be wondered that some Of
our citizens got excited and still claimed II
was Saunders when there was no founda.
ton for their claims, that Il was trick to
get 5. here without being observed,etc., etc.
The public pulse Is queer thing when l,
gets to bubbling IN murder case. The
principal trouble has been that many allow.
cd their desire to see Saunders caught to
run away with their judgment.
Saturday two Harrington men identified
Chestnuts and he was discharged.
A. we so to press there seems to be no
reliable clue at all as 10 the whereabouts oI
Saunders. In the old words, the public Il
completely at sea In the matter. The pro
liability Is the escaped murderer l. out oi
Oregon long before this. We dono, believe
he Is hidden In Benton county.

An immense number Of drummers have
been in our city lately. It is safe to estI-
mate that from five hundred to thousand
drummers visit Albany each year. Not
all Of them sell many goods. Some Of them
almost beg for sales. Others have custom
ers waiting for them in every city. They
represent well known and popular houses.
One Of these tourists, recently In the city,
sold million dollars worth Of goods last
year. 1t Is rarely the case that the sales Of
one man reaches or even approaches this,
Most of them rejoice II they can stretch
the figures into a hundred thousand
While they necessarily increase the price O
goods, they. are necessary to the commercial

The Oycrasian goes out of It's way to cast
a slur at ex- Sheriff Charlton In manner to
show its own too freshness In talking at

him. Men escape from the best construct.

reap some kind of financial harvest
Twenty-Five cents is big price for hops.
Owners will do we'll not to trust to any

The NJ. A. r. has just learned the fact
that while the railroad distance from Al

tance by sections is only 4s miles, about

crookedness of the road.
The fact that Saunders Is not caught Is a
matter to be universally regretted BY the
public. Oregon needs to see the murderer
brought to justice.
