TO ADVERTISERS.

has the largest circulation of any
paper published In Rostburg In the
counties of Douglas, Jackson and Coos,
and will furnish the proof of our asser

THE NEW YEAR.
This time the Independent is pub
lished on the eve of the birth of an
other and new year. There is much in
the fact, and a great deal . in the
thought ; that twelve months in the
existence of every one living on earth
have passed away. To some the old
year has parsed and at its end there is
nothing but sorrow and tears. To
others it has been a year of prosperity.
and generously baa the contents of
the horn of Plenty been poured into
the laps of the favored. There is sweet
consolation in the griefs of the afflicted
in the memories of Jthe- dear, Bweet
days of the happy gone by ; there is
to all such, . a melancholy sweetness
that exists in the throne of reason as
- joys not forgotten, and there remains
like the essence of a beautiful flower
when- the flower itself baa departed.
With those who have , lost nothing,
because they have staked nothing
those who have enjoyed the sunlight
when others have vainly attempted
to penetrate the darkness ; those wbo
from the time of their birth have cra
dled in the lap of Plenty with those
there is a carelessness of life, a thought
lessness of others, and a self-satisfuo-tlon
Let us thn take the side of the
sorrdwjjttteketr; and pray for their re
leasaTrom their sufferings ; let us
hogft for them the reward that is
ven the saints a home in heaven,
and a rest and happiness forever If it
is willed by Him above that such hap-
iiness .cannot be their lot on earth ;
let us yet, even, follow the dictates of
a silent and sympathetic heart, and
cry out: earnestly, we wish you a
change, land pray for you that the
next will be a happy New Year! To
the benefit of those who think them
selves blest, and whohave every reason
for believing so, we cannot say much.
Happy are we when we note their
prosperity their smiling countenan
cestheir rich mantles and bright
robes: but sorrowful are we when we
' remember that it has been said that
riches do not bring happiness, and we
. believe that the haughty and the
purse-proud have as great and as in
comprehensible troubles as have the
poor. It is thus thus that the whole
world is upon a common level; and as
that greatest of American editors,
George D. Prentice expresed it, to all
this is the eve of a New Year
' fis midnight's holy hour and silence now
Is brooding like a gentle spirit o'er
The still and pulseless world. Hark! on the
winds
The bell's deep tones are swelling 'tis the
tnell
0 the departing year. No funeral train
la sweeping past ; yet on the aiream and
- wood,
With melancholy light the moonbeams
rest
Like a pale, spotless abroad; the air is
. stirred
As by a mourner's sigh ; and on yon cloud
That floats so still and placidly through
the he,aven,
The spirits oi the seasons seem to stand,
Young Spring, bright Bummer, Autumn's
solemn form,
And' Winter with his aged locks, and
i breathe !
In mournful cadences that come abroad
Like the far wind-harp's wild and touch-

A melancholy dirge over the dead year.
Gone from the earth forever.

And lett no shadow of their loveliness
On the lead' waste of life That specter

The coffin-lid of hope, and joy, and love.

Sweet forms that slumber there, scatters
dead flowers

A CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION.
It must be a very corrupt adminis
tration of State affairs when the head
of that administration in Jthe person
of the Governor, is compelled td de
fend himself through the newspapers,
and in doing so, employs as instru
ments a clrcuitr judge to write, and a
crippled sou to father that judge's as
sertions. Thb law protects the Judge,
and during his term of office be holds
within his hand the power to fine and
imprison any who may not recognize
the dignity belonging to him as an
honorable dispenser of justice. Com
mon manhood and the respect all the
world entertains for the deformed and
miserable, protects the cripple. A
coward is he who strikes a cripple,
though very often there is perhaps
justification in the fact that many crip
ples presume upon the respect given
them by the world, through sympathy,
and assail those whom they know to
be possessed of the honor; which does
not permit the return or a blow re
ceived from one who is unable to do
anything in his own defense.
We, therefore, can say but little of
the assumed author of the letter
tigbed 'Anxiety," published in Tues
day's standard : he is the Governor's
son, and, commiserating with him in
bis misfortune, we have not the hard
ness of heart to speak of him or that
which is a reason for bis own unhap-
piness and the pity felt by those who,
look upon him. We would rather
speak of the man who sends his de
formed offspring to father that whicl
he knows he himself is guilty of and
the other man who hides bis own
cowardice behind one whom no one
will injure, in order to serve the Gov
ernor who gave him position, to which
high and honorable place the peoplej
would never have elevated him.
The entire discussion has grown out
of the public criticisms of the su
preme court decisions by "'Junius Bru
tus," the members of which supreme
court were appointed to; office by the
present Governor of Oregon, W. W.
Thayer the man who wrote a letter,
a tissue of falsehoods, to elect his
law partner, Hon. R. Williams, to
Congress- and then sent : a friend (not
one, but several) to the; office of the
Douglas Independent,! begging that
we would not publish his treason to
the ; Democratic party j in Douglas
county. This request was made when
Thayer was a candidate1 for the office
he now holds. "Junius Brutus'' at
tacked no one personally. A wrong
had been done by the supreme tribu
nalof the Hate. He argued the law
so completely, and so fully diJ be
prove his case, that for months no one
dared enter the list against him. Fi
nally poor Claude Thayer was picked
up as stool pigeon, Bellinger was se
cured as writer, and the Governor of
Oregon furnished not argument to
meet argument, law to combat law, or
justification of the acts of his tools
but personal invective and London
billingsgate in answer to the oue who
had entered the lists, as was the cus
tom of chivalrous knights of olden
time, threw down the gauntlet of di
flance after, submitting; the point of
argument, and by manhood and
strength of mind has dared success
fully to maintain his position. On
Sidney Dell's side there was the con
duct becoming : a gentleman and a
a scholar the bearing: of a hero
fighting in the cause of the right
the force of a revolutionist rp
posing a secret council or a private
conclave of conspirators working for
the ruin of many that the pockets of
few might be filled. Look at Bell
inger's letter in the Standard of Tues
day. It is a sample of the same
which have preceded it. And in an
swer to the "champion of a cause to
oppose which he has begged opposi
tion, there is notblug offered beyond
what might be properly compared to
(he contents of a Chinese stink-pot.
Dell declared his clients ' were robbed
In the Walker-Teal case, and he offers
the law to prove his assertion; he says
there was favortism shown against
the right in the Canyon road case, and
the facts are well known. If he is hot
correct he has money to pay for bis
slanders, and if he is right who would
abuse him but a party in the wrongs
perpetrated bythe cou rt? J .
But of Governor Thayer. Is he uot
the man who was j not long
ago connected with an infamous
social outrage ? Is he not the
man who once sold his party! to
help a partner, and since' his election
to the office of Governer, given that
party away to Asahel Bush? Is he
cot the man who scandalized the en
tire State by appearing in a court of
his own creatiou as an attorney, and
gained clients because it was said he
"run the court." Is he well what is
be not? i
And Bellinger! A pretty Democrat!
A nice man to talk of recreancy in
parly faith! The man who betrayed
his party to Ben Holladay for a price,
and gave to that man, bis honor, his
body and his soul! j
And Tony Noltner the dishonest

that paper was in its infancy, and

YOUUCOMPANY.
The Oregon City Enterprise has the
following iu its number of lust week :
The Independent in its last issue
elves us the uu kindest cut of all iu
calling us a lawyer. No brother, the
Lord be praised, we nave not yet come
to that in depravity. In our remarks
about "Junius Brutus" we have never
questioned bis law or his racts, but we
do most solemnly protest against his
manner aua means ot bringing sucn
matters before the public. In county,
State! and national matters we shall
condemn the wrong and defend the
right as we understand it, irrespective
of party. It has been too much the
fashion in Oregon in journalism to
cast jlnvectives and charges of lying,
perjury aud theft indiscriminately on
even' man that is opposed to oue in
politics, but we are not of that ilk.
California Journals have copied and
made comments on the letters of "Ju
nius Brutus'' merely for the purpose
ot using it as a lever in their Interests
to nrevent can tat ana euiiKrawou
troni coming to uregon, out anna in
to perceive that this is the effect of his
articles. The other allusions are si in-!
- 1 . . .... r 1 . r i ' 1
ply puerile ; they savor of J. B. him- ;
self and are unworthy the columns of
the INDEPENDENT."
It was not our intention to be un
ust to the Enterprise, and especially
one who nas given us tne mie '
"brother." But our newly found
brother is "unkind'' In the last part of
of the paragraph we have quoted. In
the first place we knew that "Junius
Brutus' " statement of facts and argu
ments of law were unanswerable ; we,
therefore, thought that the Enterprise
did not do what was altogether right
when it descended from the honorable
position accorded generally to that pa
per and loaned itself in aid of Joe
Teil's orcaus by telliug the writer
against the powers in judiciary, su
preme for the time, "to hire a hall,"
etc. Such remarks are proper in
the Portland Standard, whose editor
glories in claiming of Senator Slater,
I packed the mud that made him;"
they are well enough for Tom Merry,
known in Coos county as the black
eyed son-of-a-gun: they will do well
enough for the Coos Bay News and
newspapers in this city who know not
of what they are talking and fall
down In worship of Thayer, Bush A
( o., the new departure democratic
party the Salem firm that proposes
to run the State elections next
year; but they do not suit the Enter
prise's columns nor do they reflect
cn-dit upon the paper made up from
the fertile brain of such an accom
plished gentleman as Is its editor.
And we refer our "brother"' to a
late number of the Bee, wherein "Ju
nius Brutus" clearly, positively and
without favor or fear, tells of the ring
that was born in t-orruptlon, has
steeped itself in crime, and now finds
defenders in persons who do not deny
the truths told of the supreme court
and Thayer Co., because they can
not be denied, and who are so low and
mean as to resort to personal abuse of
one they are not otherwise capable of
answering. Does the editor of the
Enterprise wish to put himself upon
jan equality with Tony, the former un
trustworthy carrier for the San Fran
' Cisco Call ? Does he want the reputa
tion of the Inland Empire man? Does
he desire to class himself with the
man who sold out his county to a
railroad corporation, thereby com
mitting what was to all intents and
purposes kuowing perjury? Such are
the people who have been as the tools
of the ring; they are the men who
have been hired to attack Hon. Sidney
Dell, and destroy the reputation of a
man too honest for the ring, and in
whose honesty of character and whose
repugnance to fraud the ring finds
cause only for its bitter an d uncalled
for attempts to pull him down ? We
hardly believe the Enterprise man is
otherwise than a gentleman, and
our questions are directed mainly
that he may learn in what bad com
pany be is training when he attacks a
writer the justice of whose cause he
admits.
Dr. Fischer, who holds a position in
Germany which we understand to be
about the same of authority as the
postmaster general of the United
States, has just published an Interest
ing pamphlet on the postage and tele
grapic statistics of the world. Owing
to the difficulty to obtain correct re
turns from all parts of the globe the
doctor did not succeed in giving full
statistics later than 1873 up to which
year he considers his work complete
and we find that the number of letters
passing through the mails for that
year amounted in round numbers to
3,300,000,000 or about 9,250,000 per day,
since which year the numbers have
been increasing. .

terribly shocked at the idiocy of the
people wbo applaud such leaders who
have not known their own minds for
two consecutive mouths, and who,
when officially judging which of two
courses to pursue invariably takes that
which leads into greater difficulty.
In Kansas the people are somewhat

too much . respect for Mr. Chaa.-L.
Mosher, the editor of the Star, to be
lieve that he had anything to do with
the writing of the article in question;
we have never known him to be guilty
of anything of the kind, or anything
smacking of such meanness. We are
forced to the conclusion, that only one
man wrote the lines in question, and
that man is James. F. Guzz'.er, the hero
of a certain immoral chapter in the
history of the town of CanyonvilleM
When Guzzler (Jas. F.) undertakes
to attack the character of any one, the
oue so attacked should feel himself
complimented, since it is proof posi

TI1E BIO CANYON TOLL ROAD.
Ed. Independent: With your per
mission through the columns of your
paper, I will offer a few thoughts on
this case recently passed upon by his
accidency, "I fully indorse this," with
no view, however, of trying to con
vince the judge of an error or iuduce
him to modify his opinion, for that is
suppose a case of resjudicata, but
with the view of informing that as
tute expouuder of the law how his
partial decisions are viewed by others.
The public acts of public men are
considered public property. Tne share
I hold in the judge's public opinion
feel at liberty to dispose of as I choose
to keep it or give it to the public;
choose the latter.
I am not disposed to ridicule this
decision but in sober earnest to show
its absurdity and injustice.
The judge says- "section 26 of the gen
eral laws of Oregon does not provide
that any part of a put lie road may be
appropriated or used and occupied
by only one corporation, nor that the
first one which so uses and occupies
it or which first surveys it shall have
exclusive privileges over any other
corporation which may besuqsequent-
ly organized."
Hence one would infer by the an
tithesis of the expression, "not only
one corporation may appropriate and
use it," that two or more may. Then,
judge, wny do you give the road to
one only ?
You say also that "the statute does
not provide that the first corporation
which surveys it shall have exclusive
privileges over any other corporation
which subsequently may be organ
ized," and cite the case of the
Charles River bride vs. the War
ren Bridge Co., as authority for
your opinion. A person not con
versant with this case would be in
clined to think that the judge had
authority for his opinion.
Herein the judge deceives
the nub-
lie not acquainted with the case cited.
There is uo parallel between the two
cases whatever, which every lawyer
knows to be the fact. The court in
that case decided that the Warreu
Bridge Co. had a right to build a
bridge near to, not on top of the
Cha rles Biver Co. All bad interfered
with and lessened the profits of the
Charles River Bridge Company.
To make the c. ses parallel so thp .
the opinion of that celebrated case
could apply in the Galesville a Can
yonville vs. Douglas county Road
case, the latter should have, like the
Warren Bridge Company built atoll
road alongside of the G. & C. R. Co.,
then if the latter had enjoined the
former, the Douglas County Road
Company, from the exercise of their
franchise or road, and the case should
come before Judge Kelly, he could
have decided in favor of the Douglas
County Road, and cite this case in
justification and public opinion would
have sustained him, whereas be is con
demned by every intelligent person
not interested in this decision or
biased in his opinion.
Again the judge snys: "we think it
unwise and impolitic to construe the
statute so as to confer "exclusive pri
vileges" upon "one" corporation and
exclude all others from the right to
compete for public travel oa the pub
lie highway.
Unwise, indeed ! Then why did you
exclude one and give it to another ?
Why not let them ooth compete f r
public travel, and no one having any
exclusive privileges, as you say ? The
fallacy and absurdity of the judge's
opinion may be best understood by an
illustration, as follows:
Company A. having money to in
vest, they locate a toll road as pro
vided by the statutes and after spend
ing say $5,000 building five miles of
road ready for travel, but having no
exclusive privileges over a subse
quently organized company to keep
and use a road it's money had built,
Company B. organizes and pounces
upon the road built by company A.
Company A. appeals to the court to
be protected in its rights. Company
B. sets up the plea before Kelly, (J. J.,
that they will reduce the toll on one
half, if allowed to keep its road. The
judge whose heart overflows with
sympatny lor tne dear people, de
cides against company A. on the
ground that public interest is para
mount to " corporate gain." But
where will it end 1 Company B. hav
ing no "exclusive privilege over a cor
poration subsequently organized," ac
cording to Kelly, C. J., company C. or
ganizes and robs the robber company
B. Company B. appeals to Judge
Kelly for protection but the judge de
cides in favor of the subsequently or
ganized company C. (unless perhaps
be Is Interested in company B.) and
triumphantly cites his own opinion in
the Canyon Toll Road case, backed up
perhaps by erroneously citing the
Charit-s River Bridge case, on the
ground he gravely informs the liti
gants that public benefit is para
mount to "corjwrate gain,'' according
to Judtre Kelly. Oh temmra. oh.
more! how they change! The judge has
discovered tne third
cycle in juris-
pruiienee called ''lump over" by that
unique critio "Junius Brutus'' i. e.
the judge jumps over the facts in the
case lie cites as authority, and gives
the case to his friends. But what
could we expect better from one who
did all lie could to buy an electoral
vote by indorsing a fraud to cheat the
people of the State that Ua-.i honored
him so highly ? And this same man
Kelly wlio owes his present position
to accident, nt by the choice of the
people, is an aspiraut to the office he
has disgraced by his partial rulinsrs. no
doubt to gain the political support of
mose in wnose iavor Be nas decided.
This opinion is entertained by many
who believe the judge is too intelli
gent to be ignorant of the injustice of
uis aecisions, mat is to say, De is

uom, nas stuiuneti nimseil belore an

The
MAINE TROUBLE.
The 'trouble that resulted in Main?
from jthe frauds practiced by demo
crats jia counting out, republicans
elected to office, has become a matter
of uotious importance. Both democrats
aad republicans have armed for tho
5&b.udJ&e. dispatches would make
;ne believe that the difficulty will not
settled without bloodshed. Every
patr.ot in the land hopes peace will
prevail; but every honest citizen in
the land who has read the history of
the Maine fraud, most now conclude
that it is time that democrats stop
the shouting of fraud in elections, so
far as republicans are concerned. Ad
mitting everything democrats have
said to be true of republican work in
the last presidential campaign, the
fact is now established, and the proof
furnished in the fc tate named, that
democrats have done as much aud
more. By the action of Garcelon e
acts told of the republican returning
boards of Louisiana are justified, and
it stands clearly established that for
party successes aud party supremacy
'emocrats will do as much dirty work
as republicans. It is alleged that the
votes of men who were not legal voters
and who were legal voters were
thrown aside by tho Louisiana return
ing board. It is admitted by demo
crats in Maine that the voles of legal !
voters were there thrown out and the
people robbed of - their Choices for
office. In the hereafter, now that the
Muint) disclosures have been mai'e
democrats should bo counted as no
more honestly Inclined than repub
licans. It is, perhaps,.' a case of six
of one and a half dozen of the other,
with the doubt in favor of the repub-
licsns.

ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR THE WEBB-OT STATE
Wo MIOItE Kin KEY TROUBLE3
NO MORE LACE ACHES!
Orepon baa long been noted for the wonderful variety of her natnral resources. Her
hills and vallies are stored with the clio cest of Nature's lavish gifts. Otie-by ona
tliesa eletaentf of her ureatuess are being sought out, understood and adapted to tbe
use of her people. The latest of these discoveries is
THE OREGON KIDNEY TEA,
A plant which grows in tbe mountaio taaineasea "which are seldom trodden by the
foot of man. This remedy presents the leaf in i.s natural state, and is not one of
those Daaseou liquids, put to sell, and which too oiten cover uoxioiig and deleterious
drufrs, but is kind uature's an remedy, her "last, best gift to man." The 'ra mads
by stepping this 1-af is a CERTAIN AND SPEEDY CCRE FOR ALL DISEASES
OF THE KIDNEYS AND CKINAKi OHOANs.
Tne leaf is put up in air-tigbt tin caddies which preserve intact its peculiar media ,
cal properties and the decoction it made by the person using it, thus securing its ab
solute parity.
There aie thousands afflicted with diseases of the kidneys or arlnary organs who
suffer ia silence rather than make known their troubles. O hers seek leiief by thw
use of varioat patent medicines, which, if they do not aggravate the disease, at leeat
do not leeaeB iv. Even those who secure the advice of puysiciana often fail to get re
lief. owiniM the vprv complicated and delicate nature of the organs affected The
OREGON KIDNEY TEA ! "rictly vegetable production and will :
not mjare the suiai eel chihi, nor tue niont delicate woman, but'wilt cure Pain in the

the Bladder or Kidneys, Brick Dust Deposit ia Urine, Painful f,r Suiipresned Mena
ttrai- tion, and all complaints arising from a diceaeed or debilitated state of the kid
neysor arinary organs oi either ara.
Many mistake the pains aris'njr from detective aotion of the Kidneys for RHEU
MAT1SM, ana in attempting to cure the latter by outward apvdication's, fail entirely
to reach the seat of the disease. We do not ofier the OREGUN KID.N EY TEA as ' a ''
apeeific for Rheumatism, but are satisfied that maoy cases ot so-called KUKCMA
