TO ADVERTISERS.
The DOUGLAS I DEPENDENT
has the largest circnlation of any
paper published in Rosebarg In the
coontieg of Douglas, Jaclion and Coos.
and will tarnish the proof of oar asset
tion when demanded by regpoiwible ad

MAKE THE MOST OF IT.
There la to be found iu the last
: week's issue of the Plaludealer ao ar
ticle orer which la the word "com
municated," yet the artiele occupies
', the editorial column of that paper,
1 where it in supposed the editor of a
journal expresses his opiaioa and bis
; preferences, aud is, to all Intents aud
i purposes, the vditor's article though
he never wrote one sentence it may
contain. To apeak plainly, the arti-
cle in question, though written by
some one else, is as much Mr. Byar's,
by the place given it iu his paper, a
though Mr. Bya had written every
line of it.
' Now the article in question charges
us with dealing unfairly with the in
dependents of Douglas eouuty ; - wth
being Sol. Abraham's organ, aud wUh
attacking the supreme court, ana
Judge Prim especially. ' It also de
fends Fink an I Gazley, and the argu
ment made is that because we do not
. ddft-iid Fink aud Gazley, we are
publishing a paper that, whil
Claiming to be ttie people's organ, is
really an enemy of the people.
WeSwill first soeak- of the article
and the charges made therein, and
then we will pay our respects to the
writer thereof. We know of no
rule of politeness that would make
us speak of the writer first, even
though it seems that he makes us
the jjunjgn-ef Lis story, and would
ri'jbC us up, and, iu a feeble way,
sing a song of us entirety.
As to this paper having ever been
untrue . tot the iudepeudeuU of tliU
county, 1 a matter re will leave en
tirely to tboHo men whom w4iave
faithfully worked with toprt;nt high
local taxation, and who, na taxpayers,
have always" given us a hearty sup
per. . ; V e a e w lling to trust the de
cision upou this point to the independ
ents who have watched evety eltbri
made by the paper, and so convinced
have they become as to the bouety
of its purpose that last June they
rallied to its support anl aided it in
its efforts to put an end to the infa
mous thieving Koseburg ring. If the
independents will nay knowing as
. they Uo, oui work, our purpose, our
' livelihood aud the means by wldch we
obtain itthat we have shown ourse.f
to be otherwise than honest to them,
or that we have ever piiyed the part
of a traitor, that moment we will con
sent to turn tbe key iu our office door
and promise thereafter to never pub
llnii auotlur paper In Douglas county.
We certainly cannot make a fairer
proposition, aud though it may be
said we are placing ourself In the
hand i of. cur frit nds iu tff ring inde
pendents as witnesses to prove a fact,
. the point remains they are the 'only
ones who should care as to what is
done by this pu per, and with us it
stands' that if the independents are
pleased we cure for no otie else. And
this is uot ail. Bight here we make
the assertiou that so far as Sol. Abra-
- ham or any other man is concerne I,
we will defend no oue only so far as
"..heir interests are public interests
aud-are justified by right, aud no man
opposes the papr iu the county with
cut tbvt very ttf.ii is too fearful of
- lnlependentju(lguV'jnt,audhaareasons
to know that be cannot control the
Independent party to further bis own
aelfl.-h iiterests,and the Indefeeoent
to argue in I half of an unjust propo-
- aitioii. . v -
h fur as our supjort of Willis and
Abraham In the canyon- toll road is
concerned, we have not worked, for
them Itccause they own or control us,
but because the matter was made a
puUio matter when J. S. Fttzhugh
was Judge, and since then the costs of
the suits in tbe case has been Uxed up
on hepebpb ,audaU that there was left
lor an honexi Journalist was to support
the right side in the controversy. It
Is n established fact that Abraham,
Willis aud others first surveyed and
located the canyon road-and made the
road. Not even Gaxley and Fink
dard deny this ; neither can Fink and
Galley deny that they, after the first
company bad located, surveyed and in
corporated the canyon road, did
, locate a one-half mile of road, and after
such trivial location did apply and se
cure the right, through Judge Fits-
liugh's court to run over Abraham,
VYMis Co' a. road and collect tolls
thereon. Then, agaiu. It Is a matter
of public record that Fink aud Gazley
t have uever secured a decision in their
favor in this road matter outside of
Judtfe Fitzbusjh, that of a Judge whose
name we do not .write, aud Judge
Hauna-Pritn. From Justice of the
peace to supreme Judge McArthur, al
ways have the old company carried
their numerous suits with success, and4
not only have Judges McArthur and
Burnett decided for the old company
but has also tuat emluent jurist and
careful lawyer, Judge atson. ' In
hU last deoisioa Judge Watson very
plafnly'eajs tbst Abraham and Willie
were at the time a corporations that
they were the first to file upon, survey
I
aud locate the canyon road m toil 1
SATURDAY.,
road; that when Fink and Qazley made
their contract with the county "they
had not surveyed or located or adop
ted any line, route or definite location
of road except that it had surveyed"
the half mile aforesaid; and Judge
Watson concluded his opinion by de
claring in aubbtance that Fluk aud
Gazley's claims were fraudulent and
should not be recognized by the
courts of Justice, and that Fink aud
Garley should be taxed for the amount
of damage done to Willis, Abraham
and others by the unlawful setting up
on the part of Fink and Gazley of a
toll-gate to obstruct the right of tvay
to Abraham, Willis and others' prop
erty. If this U true (and the records
will prove it to be so) where are we
wroug in our support of that which
has been declared by a supreme judge,
circuit judges, county judges and jus
tices of the peace, to be right and
honest ? And, then, why should we
not support tbe old company for other
reasons? Are not the rates of the
old company less than those now
charged by Fink aad Ciazley ? Is it
not a matter of public benefit to sup
port where one company charges less
where the public is forced to patron
ize, and oppose where another com
pany charges more ? Is it not the
duty of an honest journal to oppose
the company, corporation, parties or
persona who would tax the public
heavily in favor of tbe corporption or
persons who tax the public less ? Even
JuJge Kelly makes this argument in
favor of competition though be seemed
to know nothing of the merits of the
case when he wrote bis decision, aud
when he unwittingly brought forward
the Charles River, bridge contest in
proof of not Fink and Gazley's rights
to the road the rights of Abraham,
Willis and others. Judge 'Kelly's
blunder has saddled upon the people
of Douglas county and the travelling
public iu general a grevious burden
but Judge Kelly would have told tbe
truth if he had decided in favor of the
old company. Uis decision reversed
would make but argument right, and
to prove this we here copy from the
county records the rates of toll charged
by the old company and the rates uow
demanded of travelers by Fink and
Gazley, as follows : ; j
Tbe tolls of the Canyonville and
Galesviile company for oue horse aud
wagon are 60 cents : two burses and
wagon, tta cents; 3 burses aud wagon,
l; 4 horses aud wagon, flSU; 4 nor
ses aud 2 wtgous, $1 60.
louicla8 oouuty road company :
horse ami wagon 88 cents ; 2 horses
aud a wasou, 9d cents : 3 burses sand
a wagon, $1 04 ; 4 horses aud a waon.
l iz; 4 burses and ss wagons, 91 vz
Tbe word competition does not here
apply because the , new company
charges the most, and the public at
large is unnecessarily injured. Un
necessarily, we say ; for if it was the
purpose of the supreme court in its
late decision upon the subject' to
protect the" public ' Interests, and
it was upon such ground that
Judges Kelly and Prim made their
decision, it stands evident that they
should have decided just contrary to
what they did, since then the public
would not, as now, have been compel!
ed to pay increased toll rates. These
increased rates we have considered ;
hence we combat the-new company
(bJievlngit Jo ba our j duty), and op
pose and condemn the supreme court
in that, while it contends that to tbe
greatest 'number is; the greatest
good, yet decides that the great
est good must be placed in the
hands of two men and to tbe injury of
the many. Under such circumstances
we would be a dlshouest journalist
did we did uot stand by tbe old com
pany, and the people who demand its
lower rates of toir in; preference to
those tbt are higher. We would
certainly not be honest ; we would be
liable to the charge of baring been
bought over to the other side; and for
want of proper discernment, iu discov
ering tbe difference between right and
wrong, we would be entitle' to noth
ing more or less than a forcible eject
ment from this commuuity. And
fien we have not yet believed, nor can
we ever believe, that Abraham, Willis
and others ever bought Judge Watson
or Judge Burnett to believe as they
do, and we are sorry to ee that the
Plaiudealerhas not such faith In the
opinions and honesty of tbe gentle
men named, and while charging us
with being the tool of Sol Abraham
virtually argues that Judges Watson
and Burnett are tbe same kind of in
struments. No one iu Douglas coun
ty believes that the two judges' are
otherwise than honest, Wherein can
we be les so when we talk. only as
they do ? ;
So far as our remarks upon Judge
Prim are to be taken into account, we
care but little; but to make the article
complete we will tell all tout should
for this time be said upon the subject.
Prior to the time the Independent's
first issue was made, we heard it stated
that Judge Prim was interested in. te
Canyon road (in Fink j and Gazley
company), and that many in Douglas
county believed that be. Was preju
diced upon tbe bench when a point in
tbe cose came up for decision. This
grave charge and It is a serious
charge that a Judge will sit in court
and decide for himself wa lepeated,
until even we advised our own friends
of it that they might not be touched
with ttie pitch of specious reasoning
and selfish testimony aud become
besmeared. We then remember that
James F. Uazley reported that Judge
Prim had given him an 'outline of
what Judge Hanna'a opinion would be
in the event the canyeu road case was
tried before Judge Uanna in Jackson
county. Three differeut persons made
affidavit as to Gazley's statement as
to Judge Hanua's opinion (according
to Judge Prim) in advance of Banna's
decision. We also remember that
pr jnvnent party friends of Judge Prim
addressed him a letter, asking him to
pronounce to them Gazley's statement
to be false, and Judge Prim failed to
give his friends tbe satisfaction of a
denial. We know that Hanna's de
cision was as Gazley said Judge Prim
1 1 . 1 .1 . . . ... ...
saiu ik wuuiu oe. adq, men, it is a
fact that can be established that when
the canyon road case was up for trial
heretofore in the supreme eourt that
Judge Prim never failed to enter tbe
room of consultation of the judges and
there argue in favor of Fink and Gaz
ley's side of the question. We are
open to conviction when the proof is
furnished. Taking but an honest view
in the premises, and debating fairly,
what other conclusion can we have
than that Judge Prim is unfit to
occupy bis present position? ! Hanna
was appointed upon the recommenda
tion of Judge Prim. It would seem that
Judge Prim knew his man, and that
he knew what kind of a decision he
would make in advance, or he would
not have told Gazley what he did. If
he did not tell Gazley what Hanna
W vao "una UBUU
vouid i0 n seems he -would have de-
nied to his friends that be did so, es
pecially when there had been an affi
davit already made public giving Gaz
ley's statemeut as to Judge Prim's
promises In tbe case, sworn to by j
three different parties. The Judge
should be above suspicion, and be
should never rest one momeut under
a shadow wbeu, without compromis
ing his dignity, he can put at reat all
question by the writing of a short an
swer in the negative. To be above re
proach one must lead an open life, and
a judge should never by silence allow
a wrong opinion to be formed of his
procedure or a question to be raised as
to bis honesty of purpose. If he will
be silent when he is seriously charged
with wrong, what can be expected
otherwise than a general belief in the
judge's guilt? and who is to blame if
an nonest newspaper, uae u-e IN
DEPENDENT has proven- itself to
. 1 .1
be. takes silence as an admission of
guilt, and condemns the judge who
would seem to be guilty, aud who
cares so little himself for the honor
and dignity of his position as to allow
himself, without objection, to be
slandered, and his high position to be
disgraced? ; We would be wrong in our
Condemnation of Judge Prim aud in
our opposition to his nomination, if
the Judge had shown by good law and
written opinion a justification of bis
acts; but we would, also, be just as un
faithful to our trust were we toendorse
Jurjge Prim and his failings without a
denial from him. lie may secure
nomiuation from tbe democratic party
for tbe position he now holds by grace
of Gov. Thayer's appointment, but
the nomination, we are satisfied, will
come from tbe Thayer and Bush wing
of tbe party. He cannot come upas
a candidate again by virtue of an ex
ptession of public opiuion aud without
political wire-working is accomplished
iu his behalf. This should justify any
honorable journal iu opposing him
and it matters not what is tbe politi
cal complexion of that journal. And
it would aotear to the most obtuse
miud very strange that the Plain
dealer bus so much to say in Judge
Prim's favor and in the favor of Fiuk
and Gazley. Iu tbe first place, Judge
Prim is nearly certain to be nomin
ated by tire democrats for supreme
judge; in the second, it is beyond
a doubt that both Fink and Gazley are
democratic leaders. Nat urally it
would be supposed that the Plain
dealer would be anxious te aid some
republican to secure th e place desired
by Jude Prim, and have little or
nothing to say in tbe behalf of one who
must necessarily be the opponent of
the republican nominee for the office.
So much is expected of a party oran.
But, by its work the Plaiudealer
shows its preference for Judge Prim
against any republican, and we cannot
explain its inconsistency in the pre
mises unless we permit ourself to be
lieve that it is another Bush and
Thayer organ purchased in Judge
Prim's interests, this is tbe only
conclusion to be formed in the pre
mises. A to the writer of the article, very
little need be sid. The chances a ra
bis prayers are that Judgd Prim will
defeat Judge Watson if tbe latter is
nominated for office. If the writer
cannot reach a judgeship he would
play the dog in the manger, and in
the end might' accept the office of
prosecuting attorney, providing any
one would give it to him, or be could
get it otherwise. He is the smallest
part of the affair, and bis article would
never have received a reply from us
hid it not atTorded us an pponuiiity
to make a statement to independents
and an explanation to tbem as to the
course pursued by this paper; and this
article we ak independents to file
away that they may again refer to it,
aud not complain if we do not take
notice of every cur which would bark
at our approach when we make as
saults upon the Rosebdrg ring, upou
its leauers, Fink and Uazley, aud upou
its followers aud supporters aud those
who are supported by it- Judge Prim
and the Iloseburg Piuiudcaler.
WOULD MUZZLK THE PRESS.
Our advices from Salem this week
are quite interesting. They refer more
particularly to tbe caucus by the
members of tbe democratic State cen
tral committee, which was held to
confer as to the best manner of fur
thering tbe interests of tbe democrat
ic party, and the language to be used
in an addre s to tbe people,
j It seems that ty some means James
F. Gazley had secured a proxy from
Josephine county, and by the right
given by tbe proxy be was allowed
a place in tbe caucus. Gazley was not
there without a purpose. When it
came the proper time, he arose to bis
feet aud unrolled what proved to be a
resolution or two headed with several
preambles, each begiuuing with the
customary "whereas." The pream
bles were to tbe effect that the honor
aud dignity of the supreme court and
the judgis had been insulted through
the public press ; that such newspa
pers had published a libel upon the
court ; that certain men who bad lost
their case in attempting to control the
canyon toll road were emctnies to the
party and to tire friends of the party
who now have possession of the road;
tbat tbe newspapers should be sued
for libel, and that the people should be
asked to condemn tbem in every pos
sible instance ; aud tbat it was tbe
duty of tbe party to see that the at
tacks of the newsuapers aforesaid
were put an end to aud the publishers
thereof imprisoned or otherwise pun
ished. The resolutions went on to
declare that the party and the people
had every feeling of respect for and
houured the present members of the
supreme court, aud the language was
decidedly flattering to the ' judges.
Gazley proposed that the preambles
and resolutions became a part of tbe
address, or be otherwise published,
followed by the names of a committee
appointed. The motion received a
. econd, and was put before the house,
and be it said to the honor of the mem
bers of the committee, there were but
two in the entire committee who vot
ed to adopt it and those two Were
James F. Gazley and Col. Effinger;
oue an assumed owner of the the can
yon toll road, and the other an attor
ney in one of the cases criticised by
the press, aud on the winning side t
What must be the impudence of
Gazley when it reaches Its end
and is displayed completely! The
Idea that he would ask . the dem
ocratic party the ; party which
has always avowed itself in favor of
free speech and free press, and to
preserve wnlcn it received especial
instructions from the immortal Thom
as Jefferson to take upon its shoulders
his and others private quarrels, and
that to help tbe private ends of him
self and others, the party should de
clare itself in favor of a gag law opoa tbe
t eaker and a muzzle to be placed t pon
tbe press, U something preposterous,
and yet redicu.ous; but nevertheless
it is true he has attempted all this,
aud was so mad wheu his proposition
found favor with only one other in
tbe meeting that he rolled up his long
winded preamble and resolutions and
indignantly stalked from the : room
with that slow and solemn step be
longing to theAouu euvee in Shake.

An exchange deplores the fact that
five judges of the United States su
preme court have become so aged that
they cannot live but a few years. It
is certainly to be regretted that tbif
is too true; but yet there is a lut e
chance for consolation to the people o
Oregon if tbelr prayer. will be listei -
ed too. Not more than two of th
judges will die at once, and shout.
two die there would be a chance o
eettinz both Kelly and Prim.ounf
the State and at Washington that i
if the President will have any regure
for the wishes of a loug-sufferii.fr
people. 'e might add that the bopt
that the president will be obliging is
made stronger upon the reflection that
very few cases would be appealed their
from Oregon to the great supreme
body of Judges of these United Slates

and that the rod we propose to apply
will not lose any of its weight by be
