TO ADVERTISERS.
The DOUGLAS INDEPENDENT
has the largest circulation of any
piper .ublisbed in Roseborjr in the
eoan'ue of Don&la Jackson and Coos,
and willftiriilsa the proof of our asser
tion when demanded by -responsible ad
vertisers. ' KELLY t WELLS,
TO INDEPENDENTS.
An 1 n3epenlent proposes there sJhuIl
be a meeting of one i ndependent dele
. gate from each precirjct in Roseburg
at an early day to decide as to the
purposes of tbe next campaign of the
Independents, and asks why would
not tbe office of the Douglas Inde
pendent be the proper place of meet
ing. We would suggest at an early
day say February 23d tbe members
of trie independent central committee
first meet at this office, and at that
meeting they decide tbe number of
delegates to be allowed from each pre
cinct and the time and place of meet
ing of such delegates. We will give
room to all who will come, and not
only room to tbe central committee,
but also to the delegates appointed
from precincts.
TRUE STATEMENT OF THE CASE.
"There la no doubt." writes a new
subscriber, "that the next June con
test will be a warm one, and that every
thing will be done by the politicians
: to put an end to the Independent par
. ty of Douglas county." In this our
. new subscriber and ounelf agree. He
continues : "And in order to accom
plish their purpose, it will be shown
In time, and maybe, not until the day
of the election, that it is the intention '
of the leaders of tbe two parties and
the commanders of the corrupt Rose-
burg ring, to combine tbe republicans
and democrats whom they always in
fluence JnogDXtibn to the candidates
hoxfnrbe the favorites of the inde
pendents." On this point we will not
argue; we would rather, though some
may turn up tbetr noses and call him
an old granny of a farmer, compliment
the old Grangei upon his good judg
ment, and his foresight.
i uere is uu uuuuu ius hue uaiium
of power held in tbis county by the in
dependents Interfeiea with tbe plan
ning of political leaders. It is a re
traiut upon them in the beginning
and ruin to their Diana and calculations
in the end. Under these clrcumstan
ces, and when nothing can be gained
on account of the freedom In thought
and action of the independent balance
- of power, it is certain the leaders and
ring masters must feel restless and
dissatisfied, be willing to trade.
one with another go into combina
tions to barter and sell party princi
- pies aud defeat party nominees pro
viding that by no doing they can de
feat utterly the favorites of the inde
pendents and the independents them
selves In one election, and thereby
discourage tbe Independents in keep
ing up their organization in behalf of
honest and capable county govern
ment. Without tbe independents it
is cytain that tbe party leaders would
have niftrouble lu running tbe coun
ty as suited them, and Invariably tbe
party rings' friends wouiu be elected
to do tbe work desired by the leader?.
... Local primaries could then beset up
with ease, county conventions stock
ed, and there would be t o check even
at the polls to pi event the rings or
leaders carrying oux the programme
ppared by thejn r prior to the
time f the holdTn-;Dcijct
meetings. Anything then would be
possible with the leaders of the two
parties, and any politician might ride
into office roughshod contrary to tbe
wishes of tbe people. Again would re
turn the state of affairs which existed
In former days, before the organization
of tbe independents, when a nomina
tion to an office under any circum
stances, was equivalent to an election.
There would be a difference in the feel
ings of tbe delegates attending the
county conventions from that expe
rienced last year when a certain lead
er of tbe ring desired the nomina
tion for county treasurer, and could
. find no delegate possessed of cheek
sufficient to propw his name. With
return of bygons usages and bygone
prestige even A. A. Fink may be
nominated and elected county treas
urer. He wanted tbe nomination the
laat time ; be would want it again the '
moment he was convinced that there
remained no independent organiza
tion to come down upon him seven or
eight hundred stronir at the polls.
And with his money and his followers
there is no doubt that Fink would se
cure the nomination, and perhaps an
ejection.
AH this is but argument In favor of
honest independent organization. It
Is a statement of the facts in the case
which should appeal strongly to Inde-nn-..lnta
to stand bv their colors, and
. - '
work honestly and earnestly for an
Increase in strength of the organiza
tion for self-protection against de
signing plotters who are workiug con
tinually to promote selfish Inter
ests at the expense of tbe taxpayers.
It is a warning of what will be
In store for them the moment
they forget that the member of the
. political rlngi are their enemies.
They should think of tbe possibilities
of the future, and by sticking together,
provide against then:.
THE GAME OF "CINCH."
A writer in the Dally Oregon! an of
January 12th, over the nom de plume
of "Pedro," elves description of the
game called "cinch," which be says is
"much played In parlors." It appears,
from what we can learn, that 'Pedro"
is not tie only person competent as
an authority in tbe game, and that the
game is so generally known that the
chief Justice of the Oregon supreme
court Is so familiar with it that in his
late instructions to applicants for ad
mission to the bar, he used the term
"cinch." Judge Kelly told the appli
cants that they' mut never, if they
ouce brought 'a bad case into
court, and there was a decision ren-
dered against them, "go outside aud
try to 'cinch' the judges." ! One
would think (very naturally)ttiat from
tbis outside remark that Chief Justice
Kelly was well acquainted wlijn tbe
game, the name of wbioh he so aptly
pronounced, and that he has jniore
than once played "cinch" for -'hot
Scotch," "lightening straight," or
that wonderful stimulant of tbe kid
neys so pronounced by physicians,
good old Holland gin. We can almost
Imagine the Judge Bitting at the card
table in a saloon In Portland where
whisky, "hot Scotch" or gin is sold
at the low price or 12 cents per glass,
his fat, round belly, grown from rich
senatorial living, pressed hard against
tbe edge of tbe table as be leans over,
with the ace, king, queen and jack of
trumps in his band, to "cinch" the
other fellow to whom he is opposed.
How he watches, chief as he is, the
others who with 'him, aie playing
against the fellow that is to be "cinch
ed" that they do not make a misplay,
and how he is watched by tbe other
two or one that be makes the play
they or he desire to be made I And
what a grin spreads over bis counte
nance, passes down , bis thick neck to
his shoulders, runs along down bis
body to tbe fat, shaking belly afore
said until the great body is completely
convulsed, when at the end of the
game he cries," 'cinched' him, by Jem-
Iny P And, then we can also think of
tbe ( bief Justice in tbe name kind of a
game in Salem, and with tbe same
kind of a hand, only changing the
play In that tbe Judge plays the knave
for the grand denoument when, as
third hand high, after catching the
ten and tbe pedro,' slaps the jack
down upon the outsider's nine spot
and roars " 'cinched' him again, by
the holy smoke!" But in this we only
speak of one of the games that have
been played by the Chief Justice at
Salem. Rumor bas it that he has cer
tainly played three games of the kind,
if not more, and that in every instance
be held the "top band" and "ciached"
the outsider. In justice to tbe Jus
tice, however, let it be said of Judge
Kelly that in all his games he never
once threw off on his friends. He
played every time against the out
sider, and whether be exclaimed "by
jeminy" "by the holy smoke" or "by
the great curl upon- old Abraham's
wig," not once did the outsider have
tbe satisfaction of counting a point in
tbe gape, since the Judge invariably
hetr 1th e big and "cinching" hand.
' We most also credit to rumor the
statement that it is the purpose of
Judge Kelly to issue a book at an early
day with the suggestive title : "How
to Play 'Cinch ;' or Never Throw Off on
Your Friends." The book will be
intended exclusively for private cir
culation among friends, who are
Bupposed to keep the secret it will
contain to themselves and from out
siders The preface will be written by
Judge Prim, who will concur with
Judge Kelly upon every point advan
ced, and the work will be bound in
blue and gold,
We expect to see the Mercury turn
upon those organs of Bush and Thayer
which have been attempting to con
vey the thought that it bas been pur
chased - by Sol. Abraham after that
terrible Sol. failed to buy tbe Stand
ard. It cannot be pleasant for the
Mercury to be classed as any one's
personal organ; and then to be spoken
of as material used when other mate
rial was sought for and could not be
obtained, Is a case wherein insult is
added to injury especially, too, where
tbe first newspaper (the Standard)
according to Senator Nesmitb, Is
nothing more than a public prosti
tute seeking always Its price and
always open to purchase. When
it is remembered that the defenders of
Thayer are as so many new converts
to an unholy cause, and that the Mer
cury was never an admirer of Thayer,
and remains consistent in its opposi
tion to the Governor's clique and ring,
it would seem possible for tbe Mercury
to turn upon its slanderers with a
force and vengeance terrible be
cause backed by truth, and, as per ne
cessity, Its shafts of criticism are di
rected toward "Toney, tbe expert"
and self-assumed owner cf the demo
cratic party, and his followers yclept
unncrupulous 'republican organs (?)
endeavoring to blackmail their party
out of rich contracts, and so-called
democratic organs in the pay of Bush
and Thayer.
Tbe forced sale during 1879 of 63
railways in the United States, aggre
gating nearly five thousand miles, at
an average face cost of nearly $49,
000 per mile, may be discouraging to
tbe construction of future railways in
tbis country upon fictitious capital
or capital borrowed at enormous rates
of interest; but it Is an assurance that
we are gradually approaching an era
of cheaper transportation. The capi
tal stock of these 65 roads was $80,-
000,000, and their debts $1,103,000,000.
On a cash capital they could have
probably been constructed for $25,000,
instead of $49,000 a mile. But tbey
were built on bonds, at a high rate of
Interest, and floated far below par;
and of course the owners of the roads
bad to overcharge tbe public to get
to meet their obligations. They failed
at last, in spite of overcharges; and
now the new Owners who purchased
the property at le: than its actual
cash cost, are In a situation to realize
profits at fair rates of transportation.

that he had been missing for several

AN EXCELLENT CRITICISM.
The NewNorthwest of January
15th contains the following ; ,
On Tuesday Mr. Dell printed in the
Orogoniaa an excellent criticism on tbe
affidavit which has been filed by four at
torneys and addressed to the supreme
couri, and which is doubtless intended
preveat bis practicing before that trib
nal. He show conclusively that hie op
ponents have refused to dtxeuss the prin
ciples involved in the Walker Teal case,
although he has challenged tltein to do so.
By their unwillingness to fairly c vans
the merits of the decision, they are losing
the adhereace of the theuaUtful read"tg
public. Many, who at first supposed Mr.
Dell's attncll wus prompted by the lows ol
bis cjbh. have, by tbe silence o( the opp
Iiik aide, been led to believe that hU
aiateiuents are rather hard to refute. Ami
if this statement of the case i allowed
to pass as correct, the public will share his
cnocludiuus and condemn the decision.
We bardly think tho ai'i reme couri will
dibbar him from pruclicioi, even if it ha
the power; that would be ail admission of
the correci need of his censure.
Our cotemporaries answer our argu
ments by calling us Sol's organ. They
pretend to forget that for four years
this paper has been published, and
that it has held its own against all op
position and they would forget that it
has niver been otherwise than on the
right side of every public question ar
gued through the newspapers and
shows itself to be on the right side
now or it would not be oppose i by two
papers who have gone into partner
ship, though differing in politics, to
iojure it. Give us something more
than idle asseition to combat, be more
honest In your work for "time-honored
principles" and the chances are
we will never grumble or complain,
and there will be more in common
wiih us. But it is a poor mind that
when beaten In an argument will fly
to the arms of the enemy and join with
that enemy in order to fight one who
claims and proves be is backed en
tirely by truth.
The Maine troublejhas ended by tbe
supreme cour t deciding In favor of the
republicans. Tbis is as It should be.
There never has been a doubt in tbe
minds of fair-minded men, that the
republicans were entitled to tbe officers
which they claimed were elected, com
Drising members of tbe legislature
and tbe governor, notwithstanding
more than one wise democratic organ
in this part of the State, by ignoring
facta, urged the democrats of Maine to
stand firm, and Justified the Maine
democrats in their threats to appeal to
arms. But we are glad to note ibat
sueb fire-eating organs were never
justified in their utterances by tbe
honest, thinking members of that
party, who think, as all good citizens
should think, that the time for revo
lution and armed, rebellion to tbe law
never has existed in tbe union since its
formation, and be that would over
throw bis government is a traitor to
his country.

Massachusetts has been having
considerable' of an excitement lately

that he believes in the present public-

of a long letter, dated Collins, Jan

among other things, that $8,000 had

Indians to tbe Siletz, when the facts
were, that tbe Indians moved them
