honorable a man to allow any embar-

The JOURNAL has not been convinced
that it was mistaken in any ofits utter
ances about the Oregon Pacific, and it
has not yet published one half the
crookedness that is there apparent.
Hence Judge Burnett's letter was doub-
ly inexcusable and was in reality writ
ten as blow at the liberty of the press.
ALI the real facts about the Receiver
ships and the extravagant and outrage
Gus fees allowed, and bills run against
the property under the eyes of the
court, have not yet been made public.
There has been no rigid investigation of
the rotten and corrupt methods en-
ployed in the past to bankrupt the
property and rob the laborers and ma
terial men. There probably never will
be. Our State government is entirely
Indifferent. The lawyers have it all
their own way. But here is an item

CITIZEN.
This libellous letter was printed in
the ROseburg Review and has been
copied into other papers. 1t was to all
appearances an effort to damage the
publishers of THE JOURNAL as much
as possible, and to weaken the infu-
ence of the paper as much as possible
in the eyes of the people, by conveying
the impression that we had been guilty
of committing grave crime for which
we should or could be indicted, and in
creating such impression it has done
The JOURNAL an incalcuable injury.

nett the following letter:
OUR LETTER TO BURNETT.
SALEM, Or, Feb 8, 1894.
Hon. JOHN BURNETT, Corvallis, Or.
Dear Sir: We enclose a clipping
from the Roseburg Review which we
are inclined to regard as unjust to our
selves and to the paper which we pub
lish, and Furthermore we are disposed
to regard it as libellous. AS we dis
like to condemn any man without a
hearing we write you for an explana-
ton, If you deliberately intended to
say in public letter what your Ian
guage clearly implies you charge us
with commission of a crime. We have
no disposition to quarrel with you, but
as we have never in any way criticised
yeu or your connection with the Ore
gon Pacific or any other matter of pub
lie or private interest we are at loss
to know why you should libel us. A
note from you that would undo the in.
justice done us and the newspaper
which we print is all that we ask aud
Is the least any gentleman under the
would offer.
We have the honor to be respectfully,
