The management of this paper will positively assume no responsibility for the utterances and state ments of its correspondents or contributors. The editor endeavors to make no false statements which wrongfully reflect upon the character of any person officially or otherwise, and he will cheerfully correct any erroneous statement which perchance may appear in this paper, if the matter is called to his notice. REPLY TO F. W. WOOLLEY. Under the head of "Will Reply in the Courts." in Thursday eveniniz's Review anDeared an article in which F. W. Woolley cast some unjust insinuations against the Plaindealer editor, in reply to which we wish to make the following statement: In a recent issue of the Plaindealer a citizen of Rose burg commenced a discussion of Roseburg's special school tax levy over the name, 'Taxpayer." F. W. Woolley per sonally accepted the challenge, as it were, issued by this correspondent and assayed to reply to the article over his own name, however, concluding his article with a sarcas tic insinuation that "Taxpayer" was a jackass in a lion's skin. In reply to this "Taxpayer" also become sarcastic and directed some caustic insinuations at Mr. Woolley. whereupon, Mr. Woolley also become offended and de manded that we reveal the real name of "Taxpayer." Since Mr. Woolley had personally taken up the gauntlet thrown down by a fellow townsman under an assumed name, we felt under no obligation to comply with his re quest and did not do so. Country newspapers are largely made up of matter supplied by correspondents or contrib utors, the truth or falsity of which matter the editor is not in a position to judge from the fact that he cannot keep in touch with the local events and conditions in the various communities and must therefore trust to the in tegrity of such contributors, none of whom by general custom are required to sign other than a nom de plume to their contributions, the real name being with-held from publication as well as from the curious public, another custom as old as the printer's trade. Therefore, if Mr. ABOUT THE POLITICAL PARTIES An ardent reader asks a brief explanation of the mean ings of Republicanism, Democracy and Socialism. Republicanism and Democracy, in essence, mean much the same, viz., a government "of the people, by the pe - pie and for the people," but as used in the United State: they have a party significance. A leading tenet of De mocracy has alway been, tariff for revenue only. Renal -licanism stands for a tariff for protection of American industry. Minor party issues have arisen from time t time, but the tariff issue alone has been permanent. In the DX)4 campaure various uuestions were debated, but the two parties had come close together in actual policy ! even in their views on the tariff. Socialism is a doctrine which has existed in some fori for many centuries, being based on the doctrine of owner ship of all things by the people as a whole, doing awa with unequal division among individuals. Formerly a cial. of late years it has become a political, question tak ms several forms, chief among them beine that ut na tionalism. This means that all things -land, railroad.-, factories, etc shall be owned by the nation as a whole, individual capital being replaced by national capital. I does not maintain the doctrine of communism equal di vision of products among all workers but favors th view of reward for labor according to merit. .Mr. I. If.

Ex-Governor Geer's paper the Salem Statesman says : S. A.. D. Puter, the chief convicted conspirator in th e land fraud cases, had an interview in the Evening Telegram recently in which he strung himself out to the length of over a column in telling that he paid Senator Mitchell two $1000 bills for his work in getting the 7-11 cases through $2000, and that he did it with the two $1000 bills. If this is all the evidence the prosecution has if there is not corroborating evidence, and a lot of it the case of , the government will fall down; and in that case Washing- , ton will be a warm place for Mr. Hitchcock.

If Puter is the chief reliance of the prosecution, it will very soon turn, in the minds of the public, to persecution. Mr. Heney if he is relying on Puter, should put a muzzle on him, and make it a good strong one. Oregon has been the unenviable focus of the national gaze, for some months past, on account of the land frauds unearthed here, but this state is no longer to be alone the only state subjected to scrutiny and investiga tion on this account. According to reports from Wash ington, Idaho and Montana are both the scenes of land frauds similar to those practiced in Oregon, and possibly of even greater extent. It is also known, popularly if not officially, that like frauds have been perpetrated in California, Colorado, and other states, all of which, it may be expected, will receive the attention of the govern ment when it can get around to them.
