FLowRRY. - Roswell p. Flower the
great Democratic leader OF New York
City, passed through Albany Tuesday
morning. A Salem paper claims to have
interviewed him, and makes him deliver
quite a flowery, as well as ShakesPeareap
Kind Of an address to the scribe. Here Is
part oft; "The star of the republican
party IL now In the ascendant. The dem.
Ocrats are going to win In "a with nearly
the same platform on which they were de
feated last fall. We are hopeful, for we
wen this time u the popular vote would In.
dlcate the result Cleveland's majority by
popular vote was too great TO be ignored.
The new states will not materially change
the situation. Too many factories arc
shutting down under your high protection

THosR Hor SPRINGs. We mentioned
seveal days ago about some hot spriags a
few miles from Breitenbush, where sum.
mcr resort will probably some day spring
up. Since then we have learned that the
land on which the springs are located, are
held by Claude Mansfield, formerly of this
city. Claude has built residence On the
same and Is holding the fine property down
In good shape. Attempts have been made
to jump the same; but without success.
AS the land In that vicinity has not been
surveyed Il takes a constant occupancy TO
keep property, and this young Mansfield Is
making a business, besides cultivating the
land with the purpose OF making a good
farm out of u; but with such valuable
springs on II Il is bound to become some
thing more some day.
CHEAP ExcURsIoSs.-we understand
that arrangements are being made between
the Narrow Gauge railroad and the o p to
put on sale cheap excursion rate between
Portland and Yaquina about JupeI. Close
connection to be made at the junction of
the two roads a few miles east of here.
Should this arrangement be made doubt
less Il will open up new outlet for Port
land freight and passenger business. We
would have been glad to have seen this
excursion business arranged WITH the s p
rs their trains are running on such time
that II would give excursionists ample time
to look over eur growing city before re-
suming their journey to the coast.
STRETCHING OUT.-U is to be hoped
Albany's street car line will keep stretch
ing the way Salem's does. Look at 1t ae-
cording to the StatesmaH "The track Is
now completed and the street cars viii run
to day from the bridge across the mill race
at the north end of Commercial street,clear
to New York, making run of over two
miles. BY Tuesday they will run away
past Grants corner in North Salem,and In
a comparatively short time they will be
running through Riverside addition" That
Is the Kind Of 4 line that will pay.
EASILY CIvILIzED.-"If any of our in
eredulous readers think that Chinese do no,
quickly pick up the evil and winn0w the
good of American civilization, let them
visit the saloon on Alder street near Third
just back of the Royal theater, and see
them stand at the bar and ask for 'blandy'
and tin clint GIN play fifteen ball pool, and
call shots, crying out, 'sidee pocket etc,
and what IL worst OF all. gamble at dOmi-
noes, tan and dice shaking In iull view,
notwithstanding the law against such pas
time and the fact that white men are de-
barred the fascinAtions of faro and stud. -
Portland Welcome.
THE IcE WoRKs.-The machinery for
the ice works arrived last Tuesday from
San Francisco, and will be placed in posi-
ton as soon as the building Is completed.
The works will be ready for business in
about a month. The new machinery
weighs 45oo pounds. Tie shafting and
such things are being manufactured in Al.
bany. The process of manufacturing ice Is
a scientific one, as well as of Ia very inter
esting nature.
A BROAD GAUGE.-The DEMOCRAT re-
ceives great many sample copies of al
kinds of papers from all parts of the world.
The latest Is LEcifsy kts Liga Bearer, pub
lished at Valley Falls, Kansas. The name
Is an appropriate one. The light is all from
sulphur. It boasts that 1t is a broad gauge
concern and we guess 1t is. Itwould make
good kindling wood, as no match would bs

The 4TH.-Capt Irvine telegraphed Co
Smith at Salem for the six northern
companies Of the I'D regiment for the 4tf
Of July celebration, and they will probably
be secured. It will mean the largest cele-
bration In the history of Albany. ALREADY
sufficient funds have be raised to insure
celebration.
