A Woman's Scorn. this One of the hardest criticisms of courts, court methods and free advertising for a prominent politician is a letter publish and ed by Mrs. M. L. Conroy w ho protests case against injustice. She says: "Being tired and worn with tho sub- iect. I have not until today read what tho papers have to say about Mr. Moody's trial. I have not desired Mr. Moody's conviction and cannot say I was surprised at tho verdict, except that I certainly did not expect tho itidco to order the jury to return a verdict, and believe ho was afraid to allow it to go to tho jury. How 12 men could permit ami euch liberties with the free exercise of their right of judgment is more than I can understand. Tho character of the comments of the papers is such that if D- there is no other to protest 1 leel it my duty to myself and to those who were brave and gentle enough to help me make an effort to do so myself. There has been no effort to "railroad" Mr. Moody into the penitentiary and it seems to me his friends should be satis fil with Imvimr railroaded him ont of it r,A nftPrtl,inhilone. rasfi their 1 7 - j r l prattle of falsehood and dishonor. 1 ad mit that if Mr. Moody should bo in con gress his accusers should be in the peni tentiary, and welcome tho threat in the editorial of Tho Journal of trial of the accusers before tho bar, even Judge Bel linger's. Even if every word of Mr. Moody's testimony were true, I am sur prised that there should be so many de fenders among public men of a man who admits that he shaved the claim of a poor widow who regarded him as a friend recommended, by her dying hue band, 30 per cent, when he knew the money on the claim was ready to be paid. It is the boasted chivalry of men to attack the honor of a woman subject ed to such treatment to save the repu tation of such a man? Merits ol the Case. I do not believe that the merits of the case rested upon any testimony upon which Mr Moody and myself differed' that his testimony and the letter and re ceipt with the erased signature was suf ficient to decide the case, but if the case did rest upon any such testimony in dis pute between me and Mr. Moody. I be lieve Mr. Moody's admitted conduct in the case was such as to awaken his testi- znony on such points, and I do not con sent to allow my testimony to be im pugned by Mr. Moody's without protest even if Judge Bellinger did accept im- pncity anything he said, i have never forgiven Mr. Moody for the liberties he took with my mail and at no time had I intended to let him go unpunished. I am unacquainted with the processes of law, did not wish to fee a lawyer, and thought it the duty of the government to take the matter np. My first effort to prosecute was a visit to the postofBce inspector at the federal building at Portland. At the same time I saw the United States district attorney, and the prosecution in my opinion grew out of these visits. The affidavits I signed be fore Mk Menefee had nothing to do with the prosecution, and, had I been sure that the prosecution was being pursued 1 should not have made the affidavits. I deny the statements attri buted to me by the witness Joe Heroux. What to do me that injustice I do not know. I claim the integrity of my testimony on the subject in fall, before the grznd jury, before the trial jury, in the affida vits made belore Mr. Menefee, and in statements to reporters, and am fully able to establish it. 1 claim that there was no real discrepancy, if Judge Bell'in ger did claim that there was, and would like to see any proof to the contrary. Talk Over the Telephone. As 1 remember Mr. Moody's testi mony, the only points differing materi ally from mine were that he claimed to have told me over the phone that my final papers had come; that he took the receipt from the letter in my presence just before handing it to me, and that this happened at our second meeting, which occurred before my seeing Mr, TTTM " . 1 s , . a -a vrneon, instead oi tne third, which oc curred after. Before the grand jury he testified that it occurred at the third meeting. It seems Mr. Moody was con sidered by the judge to have the right to revise his testimony on so material a point as this without prejudice to his case, wnue a constructive and only ap parent discrepancy in my testimony was considered sufficient to invalidate it. In like manner the testimony of Joe Heroux was readily admitted to attri bute statements to me contradicting my testimony, while that of others present, denying I made such statements, was not permitted without argument. I cannot help believeing that the evidence in this case was avoided as much as pos sible, and that which could not be avoid ed was ignored ; that it was Mr. Moody's tnende, position and influence that cleared him instead of the evidence : that a poor man in his place would have gone over the road, even with the best legal talent to defend him. The UnHlgaed Receipt. It may be because of my woman's lim itations, but I think it is because I have common sense, that I cannot gee the justice of many of Judge Bellinger's rul ings. I think they were intended to ex clude testimony that would by repeti tion of the facts from every point of view and all agreeing with evidence not -1 J? .. t . . . uepenmng upon me testimony oi any witness, but which could not bo denied, leave no possible doubt what the facts were. Tho ruling that the receipt taken from my letter was not an article of value, being only an unsigned form, on which the count of plain embezzlement was thrown out, appears to me absurd. It contained the amount of my claim, written in by the controller of the cur rency, and was a voucher to mo of the amount due me and when properly .i eignea was ine voucher oi payment re quired by the government. Tho claim could not be collected without this paper and had it not been for the kind and honorable interposition of Mr. Wilson I would have lost it, and in consequence of its loss lost f 92. By throwing out which health and strength could bo ro this count the jud"o excluded this ro- stored. These remarks were so full of ceipt and the letter from tho testimony, and with it tho evidence of an erasure and a previous signature made, I sup- pose Mr. Moody would have us believe, while that receipt was reposing inno cently in'my unbroken letter upon his manly and chivalrous breast. If that is law, it is law worthy only of "Dogberry's court," but it answered in - . 1 case to confine the trial to the count of tampering with another's mail os admitted all that cloud of testimony nl-mit motives, bankine and conspira- cios by which the revolant facts in the of were finally enshrouded and hastily consigned for burial. Tio Personal AnimuH. I again deny any porsonal animus acainst Mr. Moody. I am satisfied that ho is not punished by tho law, but I claim the right to defend my property, my mail and my money against tho ag gressions of any man. and no iudeo nor clique can shut my mouth by tho hyp notism of their will or their authority, furthermore, when a conflict arises rom ti10 efforts of a poor widow to so defend her own. and any arise who wouid shield the shoulders of dishonor transferring the guilt to tho door of tno innocent or the weak. I feel it my .jutv to make such humble efforts as 1 CAn to right the matter. Is it to bo pub lished that the law of Oregon is that a man may not tamper with another b mail or swindle tho defenseless unless he is a man of power and influence? nf ;r t. 0m, littln i:u '.:. L-.. fv uudUUO no mi, wau Says No Apology Is Due. In conclusion, I wish to express my most defiant feeling that no apology is due from me or District Attorney Hall or Mr. Wilson, or any one else aiding in the prosecution of Mr. Moody, and I am afraid of no trial before the bar of public opinion for conspiracy or false hood or "lese majeste,"or any other of fense. To my mind and, I think, to that of any just person who has be come acquainted with this case the whole matter is summed up in these facts: lhat Air. Moody toot my letter from The Dalles post-office, brought my matured claim at a discount of SO per cent and completed the transaction without informing me of or delivering the letter and while I was ignorant of tho amount due. It wss my implicit confidence in Mr. Moody that made this possible. I thought that he had been properly au thorized to make these final payments . On these points his testimony agrees with mine. He admitted that he did not produce the receipt until after he had given me the order on Max Vogt for payment to my claim, and then that he "may not have called my attention to the fact that he was opening my letter,' and the other fact which he does not altogether admit that he did not make restitution until I had discovered from other sources than the official notifica tion the amount of the claim, confronted him with it, and Mr. Wilson told him he must correct tho matter. Tho trial established these facts. They were al most undisputed. The rest of the tes timony was hardly relevant. Yet the court decided that this kind of business was all rieht for Mr. Moody. Is it es tablished as a precedent which every one mav follow? Is it really according to law? MRS. MARGARET L. CONROY. THE SUFFERING GOD (Contributed by Jas. Inman) (Continued from last iesue.) Day by day religious conceptions grow less and less intense. Dav bv day the old spirit dies out of book and creed The burning enthusiasm, the quench less zeal of the early church have gone, never, never to return. The ceremonies remain, but the ancient faith is fading out of the human heart. The wornout arguments fail to convince, and denunci ations that once blanched the faces of a race, excite in us only derision and dis gust. As time rolls on the miracles grow mean and small and tho evidences our fathers thought conclusive utterly fail to satisfy us, there is an 'irrepressi ble conflict' between religion and sci ence. and they cannot peaceably occu py the same brain nor the same world. While utterly discarding all creeds and denying the truth of all religions, there is neither in my heart nor upon my lips a Eneer for the hopeful, loving and tender souls who believe that from all this discord will result a perfect har mony, that every evil in some mysteri ous way become a good, and that above and over all there is a Beine who. in some way, will reclaim and glorify all the children of men, but for those who heartlessly try to prove that salvation is almost impossible, that damnation is almost certain, that the highway of the universe leads'to hell, who fill life with lear and aeatn with horror, who curse the cradle and mock the tomb, it is im possible to entertain other thaen felings of pity, contempt and Scorn. Reason, observation and experience the holy trinity of science have taught us that happiness is the only good, that the time to be happy is now and the way to be happy is to make others so, This is enough for us. In this belief we are content to live and die. If by any possibility the existence of a power su perior to, and independent of Nature shall be demonstrated, there will then be time enough to kneel. Until then let us stand erect. Notwithstanding the fact that infidels in all ages have battled for the rights of man and have at all times been the fearless advocates of liberty and justice, we are constantly charged by tho church with tearing down without building again. The church should by this time know that it is utterly impossibly to rob men of their opinions. The history of religious persecution" fully establishes tho fact that the mind necessarily re sists and defies every attempt to control it by violence. Tho mind necessarily clings to old ideas until prepared for the new. The moment wo comprehend the truth, all erroneous ideas are of necesni- ty cast away. A surgeon once called upon a poor cripple and kindly offered him any assistance in his power. Tho surgeon began to discourse very learned ly upon tho nature and oriein of disease. of the curative p-operties of certain medicines, of the advantages of exercise, air and light, and of the various ways in good sense and discovered -bo much pro- found thought and accurate knowledge that tho cripple, becoming thoroughly alarmed, cried out, "Do not, I pray you, take away my crutches, they are my only support, and without them I should bo miserable, indeed 1" "I am not going," paid the surgeon, "to take away your crunches. I am going to cure 1 .1 Ml 11 11. .-..1.1. you, anu uionyou win mruw mo cruitii- away yourself. or tno vagaries oi uio ciotuis tno m- fidols proposo to substitute the realities earth, for superstition, tho splendid demonstrations and achievomonts of sci. once, and for thoological tyranny, tho chainlcss liberty of thought. Wo do not eay that wo have dis covered it all, that our doctrines are all in all of truth. We know of no end to tho development of man. Wo cannot unravel tho infinito complications of matter and forco. I lie history of one monad is as unknown as that of tho uni verse, ono drop of water is as wonderful as all tho seas, one leaf, as all the for cats, and one crain of sand, as all the stars. We aro not endeavoring to chain the future, but to free tho presont. Wo are not foreini: fetters for our children, but we aro breaking those our fathers made for us. We aro the advocates ot in quiry, oi investigation anu inoiigiii This of itself is an admission that wo aro not periecuy Eaiisneii wuu an our conclusions. Philosophy has not the egotism of faith. While superstition builds walls and obstructions, science opens all tho highways of thought. Wo do not pretend to have circumnavigated everything and to have solved all diffi culties, but we do believe that it is bet ter to love men than to fear God, that it is grander and nobler to think and in vestigato for yourself tlian to repeat a creed. We do not expect to acconi push everything in our day, hut we want to do what good we can and to render all the servico possible in tho holv cause of human progress. We know that doine away with gods and 6upernatural persons and powers ia not an eiui; ;t i8 a means to an end, tho reai enj being the happiness of man. Feiijng forests is not tho end of agricul- ture. Drivine nirates from tho seas is not all there is of commerce. e are laying the foundations of the grand tem ple of tho future not the templo of all the gods, but of all people wherein, with appropriate rites, will be cele brated tho religion of humanity. We are doing what little we can to hasten the coming of the day when society shal cease producing millionaires and mendi cants gorged indolence and famished industry truth in rags, and supersti tion robed and crowned. Wo are look ing for the time when the useful shall be the honorable and when reason, throned upon the world's brain, shall bo the king of kings and god of gods." Now, readers, in concluding this lenuthy sermon yet not so lengthy as some long drawn out Presbyterian ser mons to a "sixteenthlv," that I have often listened to in vears gone bv let us add a few fitting remarks by taking up where the lamented Colonel left off on the God idea as, he lived and flourished in the centurv lust past. While we, tho new man of the new cen tury, may be able to create a new god but, this part really belongs to a coming sermon, "The Science of Omnipotence." But, before proceeding let us first con sider that the Colonel was the intellec tual Colossus of his century. And now, over ten thousand dollars have been subscribed toward a fitting monument to his renowned memory. Evolution is all that there is ; it is the all and in all and exists everywhere and in all things. Evolution is not a theo ry, but a discovery; tl e trinity of trini ties is time, space and motion; the com bination of these have evolved matter, not "created" it; time and space were first; time and space are one eternal now. Most Clergymen now concede that time and its kindred space is of itself necessarily uncreatable and indestructi ble ; then, logically, why not the other great head in the most divine trinity, matter, be uncreaable and indestructi ble? And why not evolution energy self-existing, uncreatable and indestruc tible? We find that perfectly-existing natural order reigns, and governs alike the infinite little and the infinitely great : tvoiution, uod, uie, which is the eame, always takes on the charac ter of its eelf-existing Motive. In a discussion with the late Talmagv i was asKeu me question, "wnat wan matter doing before it began to evo lute. oiy repiy was, "it is a truth in science mat matter never was nor ever is inert, that inertia is a misnomer of he mind's ideal. Inertia, so-called, is after all only a comparison of inaction however inert it may be thought of, it certainly must bo thought of as having form, weight, motion and space that it exists, matter ever constitutes change. and change is evolution ; that nothing as a cause can give forth as an effect anything which itself does not contain that a being or power capablo of actini upon matter must necessarily bo itself matter (Continued in our next issue.)
