WEEPs.-An Astoria paper objects 10 the
euiogY on Yaquina Day from tho y. Y.
.Sag Of receLt day. aud says tho writer Il
lunaiic. Il particularly weeps at the part
which says Yaquina Is the finest harbor
north Of San Francisco. OF course this
| view Is principally inspired because As.
ioTta Is on the Columbia river. snd be-
cause, there i some ground for complaint.

TmE A. Il A. r. RIM another column
will be found an advertisement Of the As.
toria s. South Coast railraod for bids to
clear the right of way. This looks as II the
company meant business, and intended to
commence work at once. The board Of
directors are thoroughly In earnest and

SOMETHING NEw.--A gentleman has
been exhibiting near Deyoc & Robson's
very ingenius harrow. The action Of
dragging II makes the whole harrow re.
volvc, preventing the dirt from becoming
lodged on the teeth, and puIverizing the
earth in remarkably efficient manner.
This is the newest thing under the sun the
| DEMOCRAT has seen lately.
CoMfNo IN.-ouite a number of men are
coming in from he front on the o. p. and
offering their time checks for sale, and, as
well, others are leaving to begin work. AS
there will be work for a month or more vet
there should be more going than coming
There is the usual amount of kicking pecu-
liar to all railroad building.
THE FIRsT.-A Miss Chambers walked
over a row of twelve :nch planks on the
new bridge at Oregon City, being the first
lady to perform the aerial feat. 1t Is to be
hoped no other lady will be so foolish as TO
duplicate the act, else Oregon Civ may
havea first-class funeral. There is nothing
particularly commendable in performing
dangerous acts for fun and glory.
THANKsGIvING.-Th DEMOCRAT Is like
brother newspaper in another part of the
State ; 1t doesn't know whether 1t will be
turkey or crow on Thanksgiving day, but
after reading President Cleveland's nicely
gotten up proclamation we are willing foi
II to be turkey with some cranberry sauce
and snipe for appctizers.
BErrrSG.-About the silliest campaign
argument is a bet. It proves nothing ex
cept fools willingness to part with his
money.--Ex. This is about as true as any
; thing that ever graced the columns of
. newspaper. OF ali kinds of gambling bet
ting on elections Is not the most righteous
and the fact is nearly everybody bets some
thing. Get mad and can't help 1t, yol
know.
