The Astorlan guarantees to Its ad vertisers the largest circulation of any ewnpaper published on the Columbia river. Advertising rates can be had on ap Kcaiinn to the business manager. The strike of the Santa Fe tele grapher was evidently uncalled for r It would not have resulted In so complete a failure. There has seldom been CO ignominious a deftat of a labor organization as that which has befallen the order of railway tele graphers. All of which points cut thejlivrs. They are great equalizers. noral that a strike without sufficient) cause is a disaster only to the strik er and should be avoided by him for bis on sake. Right along with the news that the administration despairs of securing the payment of its claims from the sultan comes the new of more massacres of defenseless Christians in his dominions by fanatical Mohammedans. And all tbe powers of Christendom are appar ently unable not only to succor the dis tressed but to secure the Just payment of claims similar to our own again tbe. Sublime Porte. With the Boxer chieftains laughing at the demands of the powers and the assassin of Con stantinople openly defying them,' the century closes in a way hardly proving the justice of our loud claims of su periority over the "benighted heathen." A. B. Thompson, joint representative to the state legislature for Umatilla and Morrow counties, has prepared a bill to restore to normal graduates. In accordance with the law of the state prior to 1S99. the privilege of securing state diplomas, from which they have been deprived by a strict construction by the attorney-general of an educa tional act paased In 1599. This bill of Mr. Thompson' should be supported by every friend of education and of Just treatment of our normal school gradu ates. Their ability as teacher In the common schools compares very favor ably with that of the college graduates who have not received the normal train ing. Representative Thompson' meas ure contains no radical changes from the former system of granting state di plomas, aiming merely at the restora tion of privileges Inadvertently denied to a large body of our most efficient teachers. . . THE USB OF PARK3. Last Wednesday's Issue of the Taco ma News contains an urgent plea for public parks in the form of a com- , municatlon from a gardener named E. j R. Roberts. Now that this subject Is prominently before the citizens of As toria, some extracts from the thought ful letter of this lover of nature will be of Interest. . Among other things, Mr. Roberts writes: . "A public park is essentially a rural etreat, a tract of land set apart for the benefit of the people. It is designed to furnish recreation of body and mind for those who are tired of city sights and sounds and wish to visit and recu perate In the country without leaving iLASSof Baldwin's Celery Soda nra a bsadach at one.

It is used as a breathing place to the Inhabitants of the city, gives coolness and pure air In summer and serves t rellevs the dullness and the monotony of public streets and Increase the beauty and value of city property. It attracts the people and auaken local pride. "But the truest value of a public park Is In the rest It gives to the eye and mind, to the heart and soul, through the soothing charm, the fresh and In spiring influence, the Impersonal, un exciting pliaure which nothing but the works of nature can give to a man. "Even the most ancient park In the country, the R,,m Common, owes Its origin to the need of the community for a cow pasture. Originally It was not designed as a public park. It was the merest act-ident that it was pre served. Well may the Rvtonians of fer annual sacrifice to the giv's that preserved It as a breathing -pt for the children and for the pleasure and the pride of all the p,opl These public gardens are sanitariums. They are priceless boons to the sick, to the poor, who may gv frwn the dark and dingy rooms Into verdure and sunlight free of cost. "Parks and boulevards bring the country to the city. City life is artifl rial, unnatural. Its greatest sllevU tlon Is parkways and parks. "One part of the higher education of the day Is to ttavh the people how to get Into the fresh air. Into the parks, under the trees, on to the grass. The parks are useful. They are great civil "Th?y equalise up. not down; they lift the people to a higher life; they are educational; they are full of In spiration, and make life worth more to every man. woman and child who comes to erjoy them. Whichever way you turn. the hand of every citiien should be lifted In favor of the parks. They are the peoples heritage for all time to come." MIST HAVE ANTI-CHINESE LAW. S. F. Bulletin. If it be true, as stated by a Washing ton correspondent, that Congressman Kahn has decided not to introduce at this session of congress a bill for the re-enactment of the anti-Chinese Immi gration law, Mr. Kahn will be likely to change his mind again when he hear from his constituents; It is scarcely to be believed that the representative from the Fourth district has permitted the effect of Minister Wu' view upon this subject upon the minds of the public men at Washington to deter him from Introducing ;he prcpoeed anti-Chinese immigration bill. Yet It has been as serted in "so many words that he has come to the conclusion that the bill can not be passed at this session, and that for that reason he does not desire to make the attempt. Mit.ister Wu. the dispatches say. has caused a considerable impression In Washington by bis statement that If this country wants to trade with China Its government must cease to discrim inate against the Chinese. This was certainly Minister Wu's opportunity to make a point against anti-Chinese l-g-1 Islatlon. and he has evidently improved it. He has actually succd-?d In win ning over to his side of the argument some employers of labor who have h.re- tofore been opposed to the importation of coolies, and apparently he has de terred one congressman from attempt ing to re-enact the old law this winter. Eul the wily diplomat will Dnd that while the East may have beeo Minded by his sophistries and mad? to believe that a vast trade with China would benefit the Pacific coast workingman more than the free importation of cool. lea would injure him, the people on the coa.n are not so easily misled. Their vital interests are too closely concerned for that, and they will make themselves heard in the halls of congress before the present law is allowed to lapse. The fact that there Is likely to be op position to the f- enactment of the law should spur the California delegation on to greater effort In advocacy of Its passage. Mr. Kahn has gone back to Washington after the recess with the assurance of the complete confidence of his constituency. He has been ex tremely active during his one term In the interests of the people who wn'. him to congreas In the first place, and they have sent h'm back with an In creased majority. The first severe call upon his energies Is about to be made, and It will b! ne.:rj:iry for him to mk; the effort of his life if he viould justify the good opinion that has b--n formed of him. To let the Chinese excluaion act lapse would no doubt give some transportation companies a good deal of business in the way of importing cluap labor into this market, and that is-why Minuter Wu has found rady ears to listen to his word3, but It would bring over to this side of the ocean a horde of Chinese that would quickly destroy the present scale of wages for working men and women, and would hasten a calamity that has been held In dread hy the people of the Pacific states ever since they have had any practical ex perience of the habits of the Chinese and their capacity for subsisting on lit tle food. An act that will keep the coolies out of the Unite. State la uiotv essential to the welfare of the country than the people of the East have or over had any realisation of, and It be hooves our California delegation to pre. sent this side of the case. They must pit their influence against Minlet.r Wu's. This state will watch for re sults with much Interest. DMle with reason between self-love and sxitety; and be so true to thyself as thou be not false to other. . ' ' TO CIRC i COLD l. ONE DAT Take Laxative Promo Oulnlne Tablet.

Ingerson, of Hutton, Ind., says he had not spoken a word above a whisper for months, and one bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar restored his voice. It Is used largely by speaker and singers.
