INDEPENDKNTS TO THE FRONT.
Thinking that Independents belong
to the class thafdoot spin," or wor
tor their livelihood, and the accumu
lation of the means with which to buy
a home, the Boseburg and Jackson
county rinirs are jubilant A letter
from Jaci -ocvllle reads thus:
" The ref ' vthipper-la ' has gone to
... Poniard and is sooa expected to re-urn.
Whether he will return with a "bar'I " of
Tallow ducats 1 know not. But in this
rounlT this vear you may rest sssured every.
thing will be done to carry the Interest of
the ring,"
'Sow strange I The "Chief" in
question has been here. He passed
through the city on his way to Port
landhas returned by the same route
and following upon the heels of bis
coins? and coming, we have received
the following note from a gentleman
whom we will vouch for, so far as the
general question as to his piominence
In opposing wrong, his means a.
tax-payer and his reputation as an
honest and successful farmer is con
cerned l . '; ., : v
" There is something wrong, I judge so
from the fact that since a certain man
from Jackson county visited this place, the
Roseburp rinit hsi found extaa reason for
ieeiinflr lubilant: and I think that .this
extra reason baa come in the shape of
promise of combination between the rings
of this county and those of Jackson.
The two letters, coming at one and
. the same time, and one confirming
the statements of the other, and ne
ther party acquainted with the other,
are significant facts, well worthy the
: consideration of every honest citizen
and taxpayer. If there is to be such a
: combination formed and who can now
-doubt that it has not already been
made who will not say tbat any
Efforts made or any action taken by
Independents in the two counties
named, will be justifiable as so much
work done in a l ighteous cause T
We have no battle to wage only in
favor of taxpayers. The motto at the
head of this paper forces us to be of
and one of the people. We, In en
lightened and free America, wish no
greater distinction. Then, as one of
the people and an Independent, our
cry will be out il answered, "Inde
pendent to the front I " We have but
- one cause, and that is common be
tween us. It is all embraced in one
sentence and a patriotic sentence at
that : Honest home rule, low taxa
- tion, and prosperity of the people I
We want no more black-mud swindles!
By our efforts and our votes and our
sensible discrimination in favor of
honest men, we have put the ' conn ty
out of debt tod brought its warrants
to par value ! By voliog for honest
men, and by intrusting them with the
management of social administrations
we have invariably gained, as the re
suit which has invarltably followed
has been announced by a decrease In
the cost of management of county
affairs 1 But on the other hand why
have we thus worked T The answer
cornea back, simple and easily to be
understood! very time the ring has
labored to Its own success, it baa fol
lowed the rule clear to the end, to
fill the pockets of Its members, and
the government of the counties have
not been conducted as a matter of
speculation in favor of the people, but
as a matter of speculation and profit
to the rings. Under Independent
rule the rings' debts bave been cut
down. Under the rings' managements
the debts have been made, and after
wards caused to grow larger i
' These are the facts. Let Independ
ents who do not want any more of the
rings' work, come to the front in this
much to prepare themselves for the
battle that is fast approaching between
right and wrong. "Forewarned fore-
. 'armed. "t From this time on this
should be our motto and yuor our aim
should be to work first, last and all
the time against the common enemy.
On the 3d Instant the glad tidings of
frost and ice at Memphis waa flashed
along the wires North and South, and
also that the epidemic of 1879 in that
fever-ridden city was at an end. But t
there was nothing sent by telegraph
to the effect that a sure remedy for
vellow fever and that means for its
prevention had been discovered. Thefkstonishment, tbat he had not
news was plain ana simple : " xne
danger is over and you can return
home in safety." With all their
learning, and the experience of prac
titioners handed down for centuries,
those brave doctors, those angelio
nurses, who have braved death and
came out unscathed from the encoun
ter, bave nothing new to tell us,
nor a single new certain remedy to
annouuoe. It seems that yellow fever
In the South is inevitable in its recur
rence as are tbe season, and that with
each succeeding year It must find so
many victims. This may not leave
ns -without the hope that a remedy
and means of prevention will be
fmin.1. Throne the practical experl-
.noAnfthA aborleineas the virtues of
Peruvian bark were discovered. In
this case of yellaw fever It win be
very difficult to first discover the
Indian, but more difficult and bother
s a me to find one who will know more
than our doctors of medicine.
DEATH OF TWO GREAT KEN.
The death of General Joseph Hooker
at Garden City la something for ths
nation to weep over. He was a man
who ever had a personal identity. He
was the brave and gallant soldier who
was many time breveted for bis dar
ing courage In the war with tlezioo.
He was the' road builder of Oregon as
the lneff&ced marks of bis work yet
to be traced all along the Canyonville
canyon will silently testify. When it
came to battle for the preservation of
the Union of these United States and
the perpetuation of the best form of
government God's glorious sun ever
shone upon, there be was known and
honored as "Fighting Joe Hooker."
He met with defeats it is true, i But no
historian will ever write that defeat
came to the hero because he was lack
ing in courage and honesty; even bis
last fight with Death was one in which
Fear took not a single part, and Hook
er would have lived bad not the odds
been against him in the form ;of Old
Age and its attending disorders.
The nation will show rejpect for
the departed hero in public demon
strations of grief in the way of guards
of honor and national salutes ; but the
most sincere tribute, and the one most
touching and glorious to the memory
of the dead man is and will be the
deep, silent and inxpressive sorrow of
these who loved or admired the man
while living for his Individuality and
Its twin-brother Fearlessness.
The sudden death of Henator Chan
dler, following so close upon that of
General Hooker, is, to carry out the
idea of the old monks In St Jerome's
time, that no great spirit ever left the
world tbat we know of without it was
accompanied by another. Zacbariah
Chandler's ghost was a great bptrit.
While living be was a great man. It
makes no difference if Hooker was a
Democrat and Chandler a Republican.
Both were great men and both died
and but a few hours (a second In the
whispering of an angel's wing) inter
vened in the flight of two souls for
their abiding place. It may be by
many thought this idea, given birth
during the days of strange supersti-
suuons ana ioousn tnougnts, was
but a fancy of that lime. But
who can prove truth is to the con
trary t . '. 'I
But leaving this one thought out of
the question, the death of Chandler
is a serious misfortune to the country
and the Republican party. He was,
like the late Senator Sumner, the im
personation of an idea. He was of
that unyielding character which be-
loogs to tbo combinations found in
leaders of men or the authors of great
ideas, and coupled wlih these combi
nations he had flVm resolution! o.d
fixed purposes." Like Sumner, noth
ing could turn bim from the road
which led him in the direction of the
ends he purposed accomplishing, and
again like the Massachusetts states
man be believed not in the honesty of
the Republic which permitted slavery
to exist within its confines. As a re
publican he simply lived, as a republi
can he argued for universal rights,' and
a republican be died.
We say tbis for the reason that the
mau's ideas and purpose may be truth
fully chronicled. What does it matter
if upon other matters the dead man's
mind wavered and was at fault ? Who
can say that one idei was not what he
came to the world for? All great
leaders Are known for their one idea,
and sad to say, whether successful or
not, the time is fixed when they shall
die. They serve only as an illustration
as of some startling and before incom
prehensible point in the magazine of
life, and then that is the end of them.
" Simply this and nothing more."
"Junius Brutus ' - report of an " un
filed" opinion in the Supreme Court
of the State of Oregon in the Jcase of
Huat and Wah-ker vs. Tiegbl has
everywhere been favorably received.
The extra edi.lon of tbe Independent
issued has been exhausted. There
seems that there is reason for the be
lief tbat tbe present Supreme Court is
in disrepute, and that the people of Ore
gon should be thankful to "Junius
Brutus " for his maoly and independ
ent course and his knowledge of law
which allows him to name the fault
In the Judg s In the eyes of the law
correctly in the sight of all fairness
Justly. We might add, it is a pity
there have been no more of the family
of Junius. Through the absence of
members of the family to take notes
and criticize opinions wrong ideas
bave crept Into the Statute pages of
many State law books ; owing to their
absence many a corrupt Judge bas un
molested continued his way corrupt
but undiscovef able ; owing to their
absence many a deserving client bas
went to his grave, poverty-stricken
and buried by common charity be
cause a venal judge has given to others
the property the poor, honest client
had worked long and honestly to se
cure. Then give us more of the
family. We do not want them vain
glorious because of their renowned
ancestry, but champions of the right,
and aa In this case fearless to speak
the into.
The grumblings of the members of
the Roseburg ring who talk it abtit
that this paper is a "hired organ,'!
forcibly reminds us of the story of a
gambler on a Mississippi, river steam
er. Watching hla opportunity, he
slipped out foor aces and placed them
on his knee under the table. The man
next to him discovered the trick, and,
without belog observed, took the
aces and put a very poor hand in their
place. The gambler and dealer ex
changed his hand for what he sujh
posed to be bis aces, and without look
ing to see bet largely, and when called
oy ms opponent round, to his utter
;even a
single pair. " Gentlemen," said he,
"I shall play no longer. There is
cheating around this board I" The
ring may charge others with wrong,
but In tbe little game it Is setting up
it may, like the Mississippi gambler,
find it has lost its four aces.
The election at Oakland last Mon
day resulted In a victory to the antl
IncOrporators. The original incorpo
rators were defeated by a majority so
large in comparison with the minority
vote that it seems they had all their
money put up on winning a slow race!
But don't cry, boys. Yoa know that
the people of these United States are
devilish queer. When a thing is done
that does not suit theirp: rticuiar fancy
they abide their time (as in this Oak
land matter), and then they go to work
silently, surely and effecUvelyand cor
rect the wrong done. Hurrah for the
people I
THE t&BOOLHABXS,
The town is full of them w mean
stjhool-marru'a. They are of tha rosy
cheeked, dimpled chinned, how-pleas
ant-would-I t-be-were-yo u-to-teach-us
kind. Tbey wear pleasant faces, neat
dresses, neat shoes or boots, and are
so dainty with their dresses when
crossing the street that we feel like ex
claiming In the language of a mortal
bard
Gh, I'd like to be a scholar
- And with te scholars stand,
A kiss upon my forehetd,
A school-marm by the hand:
Then I'd make the sweetest mnslc,
something beyond boo-lioo I
That's the way In all creation,
Between I and you.
Then they are everywhere to make
the lover of the good and the beauti
ful feel bad because he cannot appro
priate all that there Is nice in the
world to himself.
No wonder the fair sex In Roseburg,
in the way of self-protection and to
keep their sweethearts at a safe dis
tance, pair-off with tbe school-marms!
If the Institute should continue an
other week we would not be surprised
to hear that the dally custom bad be
come general to offer in addition to
the usual evening prayer
And make our husbands faithful to nst
The very old Adam is in all man
kind. He could not resist the charms
of Mother Eve, and for the love of a
beautiful woman threw the world and
eternal, peace away. There are Just
now a number of mju-ried men In
town who may throw their eternal
peace away. While we cannot blame
them severely we pick for them from
Shakspeare tbe following doleful ditty
which they may paste In their hats
and retain for future use:
I'm sorry I met the school-marms
I really am, I swear!
See this patch upon my forehead T
Then 1 haven't any hair!
A correspondent wants to know if
we believe a Republican to be better
than a Democrat. If the Lord loves
us and we hope He does He has
never given ua power to discriminate
between tbe two parties. Bo far as tbe
leaders of tbe two parties are con
cerned we regard them as cut from
the same piece of cloth, since all are
anxious and willing and will under
any circumstances take office when
they can get office. As to the rank
and file of both parlies the men who
do the voting we have always found
them tbe same, and there a Democrat
wilt be found as good as a Republican.
We have warm friends in both politl
cal parties, but It matters not who is a
Democrat or who is a Republican.
rne matter or political belief upon
their part has no effect upon our love
for our friends.
The threat made by two members of
tbe Supreme Court to disbar "Junius
Brutus" must bave been manufac
tured from one single piece of beaver
or started by some one high in author
ity with the view of intimidating
tbat fearless and truthful writer. In
either case tbe reporter of opinions
" unfiled can and will write and be
crucified between yon all if need be.
His crucifixion, in the event such
thing takes place, will not essentially
differwith that which occurred about
eighteen hundred and seventy-nine
years ago at a place called Mount Cal
vary.
Sixteen yean ago a woman at
Bridgeport, Conn., was accused by a
neighbor of stealing his watch. There
was no evidence against ner, nor was
she able to give satisfactory proof of
her innocence. She grieved constant
ly ovir the matter, and of late, as she
grew old and decrepid, she feared that
she would die without being able to
clear herself of the disgrace. But the
watch has now been turned up by a
plow In a field where the careless
owner originally lost it.
We hear considerable to the effect
that politicians have commenced lay
ing their wires for the next June cam
paign. We wish to be particular in
our statements of facts and therefore'
will not give names of the "early
birds "Just now; suffice it to say that
tbey are after the " worm." Under
"the present state of existing affairs '
our advice to Independents is : "Don
pledge yourselves to vote for any man
yet; but wait and see whether or no
the ring members will support him.
Our readers will not be surprised to
learn that Chaa. De Young has been
indicted by the Grand jury ol San
Francisco for an assault with intent to
kllL They only hope that a verdict,
rendered by an honest jury, of guilty,
will follow tbe indictment. Tbe time
for assassinations has gone by. Thelaw
must be all-powerful ; and no man
must be permitted to play the part of
an assassin, even In tbe defense of any
one, if he provokes the assault.
An attache of the Bodie Standard
recently, on the occasion of his birth
day, went In debt for a spring chicken
to the extent of $1 25, wherewith to
appropriately celebrate the event.
Upon dressing the fowl five distinct
articles of gold jewelry were found in
its crop, which aggregated $4 85. He
sold the bullion, paid for the bird, and
with the remaining $3 40 coppered
the ace and lost.
Walker's Staticlan for the produce
exchange, after a careful estimate,
places the wheat crop of the United
States this year at 425,000,000 bushels.
TheSpiing wheat crop is over esti
mated. The amount consumed by
48,000,000 persons, plus tbe amount
required for seed and other purposes,
is placed at 250,000,000 bushels, leav
160,000,000 bushels for export to Eu
rope and 15,000,000 bushels for other
