Th Telrcram advocates the re- nomlnation of Congrasman Moody, which Indicate Skat the Oregoaian. is out for the Wasco man. The TeJe gram say; It may 1m reasonably expected that Congressmen Moody 'itlU renomi nated. There has been tio criticism ot hi congressional record, except that I tome instance he lias not auo ceeded ta having ome tocai legisla tion enacted. But thla charge baa ao merit; he haa accomplished aa much "as could nave reasonably been ex pected. K haa. la tact, during: Mr. Moody' Incumbency of the office, been rather a bard Urn tor purely local legislation. Congress baa bad national affair of large acope anil consequence to attend to and small matters bad lea chance of success on this account. Never since the dose of the Civil war has the Republican party bad to meet greater or more difficult prob . lesns. These were sufficient to engage the very utmost of constructive states manship, and have so occupied the time and attention of congress as to overshadow all matters merely of lo cal legislation. There were problems of finance, the ' reorganization and maintenance of the Insular armies, the framing of the Hawaiian and Al askan codes; all the. -aotried fleldj, of erecting and maintaining a govern ment over Uw new possessions, made still more difficult and delicate by the Insurrection by the natives on ths isl ands, and the opposition and criticism of the Democrats at borne; also the great fiscal appropriation till at tbe last session to meet the unwonted de mand upon the treasury. ,. All these things made it Impoanole to draw the consideration of congress to any works, however Important, to local districts. In all these grreat ques . tions Mr, Moody has been in aeco-d . with the large purposes of the Repub lican party, so that his influence with the leaders and with the administra tion has gdown steadily day by day. It is a narrow view to say, in the face of all these great things, that Mr. Moody ought not to be renomi nated, because, forsootb, he could not drive congress from the consideration of thewe great matters to take up his own bills. But, notwithstanding all this, Mr. Moody has secured such attention to his district as it has never had be fore. Partly by his own efforts was secured the visit of ttie river and har bor committee to the Columbia river, and they were shown, by actual in spection, both at the river and of the country, the importance of the work. "Things seen are mightier than things heard," and the visit of Che committee will very likely have done more for the Upper Columbia than all the elo quence extant in the district. Tbe Telegram believes in giving -credit where it is due as well as oc casionally bestowing criticism or cen sure, and it believes Mr. Moody has dons very well. : ' 3 "! GREAT IS SIBERIA. t.,W.J! -lit- ' ' ' No argument is possible in the Unit ed Stales on the question as to which Is the greatest country In the world from the. standpoint of wealth, high citizenship, manufactures, commerce and along all other industrial lines, says the Salt Lake Herald. This is the greatest nation In the world, con sidered In those lights. We have numerous citizens who , believe we have more territory than any other nation. We are in the habit of telling how small England would look by the side of Texas; we like to boast of the states which are bigger than France. Now, let us sing (ow, for Ebeneser J. Hill, member of congress for Con necticut, has discovered a land that make our look like a small (staid In a great ' ea. Mr. Hill has .been through Siberia, and what he saw ( there mads htm think bis little old wooden nutmeg state wasn't so many rv pumpkins after all. He cornea horn with a most respectful notion of the great territory atdclk? comprise ? Si beria. It ta a lot bigger than Mjr.yntH thought it was. ' la an address before the National Geographical society .j Mr. Hill gave some facts about his trip. To get an idea of Siberia's vastnesa, he Institutes some comparisons. Said Mr. Hill; "Let us measure It by countries with which we are familiar. Take all of the United States between the oceans and add Alasica, toe rmup- plne-s, Hawaii and Porto Rico; then add England, Ireland. Scotland and Wales; then cross the Enjrh." chan nel and take France, Belgium, Hol land, Denmark, Norway and bweden, Germany, switterami, naiy, spam and Portusal Austria, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Roumanla and Servia, mak ing all of Europe, except Russia, and you could put them ail in Siberia and have land enough left to make thlrty flve states like Connecticut, and Man churia will make seventy more. 'I bad thought ot Siberia as a con vict settlement only, with a small population composed largely of crimi nals and poBUoal exiles. I found it country of nearly 9,000,104 people, 7 per cent ot whom were either native or voluntary Immigrants, with the es se system discontinued or transferred to the island of Sakhalin, and afl. as a rrte, earning- better wages, living- In better houses, having tetter food and clothing, and enjoying-much more po litical freedom than in European Rus sia, and Indeed some other European countries in whose behalf our sym pathies have not been evoked. I had oeBeved it to be a frosea wilderness and a desert waste. The portion through which I traveled was land like Minnesota, the Dakotas and the foot- Mils of the Rockies, where wheat and rye and vegetables matured, where strawberries, currants and raspber ries abound; where sheep, horses and cattle grase unsheltered through the year, and where a greater extent of virgin forest of splendid birch and pine Is found than the whole area of the United States." As was feared, the proposition to set aside for the exclusive use of an arcmsts an Island remote from the hampering Influence of civilisation has made little progress, and nothinar seems likely to come of it Neverthe less. It Is a good proposition, fair, logical, and giving to the anarchists the exact opportunity they had pro fessed to desire. From an anarch istic source there comes an objection A follower of the creed asks that In stead of an Island there be given a traot of land In this country. This not In accord with the ' idea There could be no objection in establishing in an orderly "com munity and a peaceful state a settle ment of the disorderly. Once estab lished, there would be no absolute line of demarkation. The would have an Influence. They would also be subject to statutory regula tions. They would have to pay taxes. They would have to behave themselves or be liable to arrest. They would 'have to work or run the risk of being classed as vagrants.' If they disre garded property rights they would be called to ordor, and if they threw bombs, they would be taken to prison. The anarchist rails at all law, and, of course, while within the pale of the law, must lack that Ideal environ ment of which he pines. The scheme to Isolate the anarchists was that they might have absolute freedom and not be able to so use It as to bring harm to any but themselves. Their yearn- i Ing for social chaos, could never be I gratified In a civilized country. What they advocate is the sway of violence. They, do not understand this, because their understandings have been dark ened. Placed on a remote Island, thev would soon learn that their theories were impracticable. They would have a ruler, and he would be the cne with the strongest arm. Tbe experience would be good for those among them capable of reform. Permitted to fol low their creeds in the rashlon in which thla would have to be done in a civilized land, they could not give the matter a fair test Had the conductor of a St. Louis street car understood the law regard ing the value of coin, he would have saved his employers the expense of parfng a S2000 judgment against them because, of his Ignorance. A passen ger offered him a smooth nickel for fare. He refused to accept it, and in the dispute that followed he put the passenger off the car. A suit of dam- ages resulted, which the passenger won, and the conductor now knows more about nickels than he did be- fore, but the car company baa paid for his knowledge. Gold coins, wlvl.'h are legal tender to any amount when full weight, are accepted only at their bul lion value when ttiey become depreci ated by abrasion or mutilation. The face value of such coins Is uot idenU- cal with Wielr bullion value, and any person is justified in I fusing to ac cept them at any other value than that ot bullion. But this is not the case with silver or nlcte a vvhl.-fr are j limited legal tender to the extent ot I only five dollars. Such coins must be (.accepted at their fa:e value if '.hey J are In such a condition as to show that they are the prvlov! of a United States mint The abrasion of such a coin, unless it is extensive eiuugh to I utterly destroy the mint trvlmark, d-xsi not affect its value the slightest degree. Not many smooth nickels are offered to street ear con iue tors in these days of slot iiiacbin?, those possessing them i-referrlng to dispose ot them In the mviU ij slots. But oc casionally su3h a coin appears c-n the cars, and wise coiluuors will lay these to heart and deal diplcmuti'aily with the man or woman who tender them for fare. ..... If a woman is physical!? miserable and mentally unhappy, the child aha bear will, ia face and form, a well a in disposition, reflect her own condi tion. Every woman who anticipate) motherhood ought to think of this and be a fairy godmother to her own child, endowing it with health, beauty, and a happy deposition. The mental misery of the prospective mother is in general the result of her physical condition. She it nervous, her appetite nuts, sne cannot sleep.
