MosBY, their special detestation. All
these Confederates had a natural
genius for surprising the enemy, and
they were successful or troublesome
In proportion to their opportunities.
MosBY was indisputably the most
troublesome and exasperating. He
never rose to high command, but such
achievements as the seizure Of Gen
ernl STOUGHTON and most of his staff
in the dead Of night at Fairfax Court
House and the capture of SHERIDAN's
supply train nea Berryville are in
deIible Incidents In the history Of the
war. They appeal to the Imagination
more than the winning Of minor bat
ties. for the name Of such Is legion
In the great struggle.
No doubt the deeds Of MosRY have
been exaggerated. and In some cases
highly colored, hut the truth Is sufl-
ciently dramatic and impressive. He
was n scout and raider OF infinite
guile and nm audacity equal 20 any
enterprise however dangerous ami
doubtful. The intrepidity Of the man
vas shown by his indifference t.
wounds and by his return to the front
as soon rs they healed. After the
war he lost caste In the South by
accepting Office from Republican Nd
illustrations, but In politics he was
as daring and as Indifferent to criti-
cism as ne had been as a free lance
In the grent conflict.
MosBY was psychologically a queer
combination both in var and peace.
and 1t would he Just ms reasonable to
doubt his loyalty to the Confederacy.
which he served effectively without
counting the risks he ran as n raider
Of communications, as to challenge
the sincerity OF his political ITS
in the period Of reconstruction. AS n
soldier he was like no one else as n
reconstructed rebel he was also differ.

MOsby the Raider.

In the war between the States JOHN
8. MosBY. however difficult II may be
to define him ms a soldier, played n
more romantic part than amy other
leader on either side. Some of the
Northern commanders would never
admit that MosRy had an organiza-
ton or was entitled 10 consideration
as q legitimate cunhntant. If they
had caught Mostly they would have
shot or hanged him. General CUSTER
threatened To give him short shrift

Not the design on the coins, but the
number of them in the pocket, Is the
matter Of gravest to NIL ex-
cept numismatists, but u change In the
coinage interests all amateurs of the
decorative arts. The Treasury will
confer n new series of dimes, quar-
tiers and half dollars ON us this sum-
mer, regardless of the storm that
broke Ove the revisers of the gold
pieces. The printed description of
the new dies suggests hat they will
make money more lively than ever
before.
The halves and quarters are to
bear full length Liberties "%striding"
and stepping" On the larger OF the
two the flag is to be flying to the
breeze" No mere heads for the new
pieces; they will typify hustle, that
great accomplishment Of those who
are noisy about their work. Liberty
Is to hold aloft laurel and oak
branches, symbolic OF civic and mil
itary glory; had Chautauqua's most
highly remunerated philanthropist
continued In II post of eminence no
such horrid slap at pacitism would
have been tolerated. But the lady OF
the quarter will bear an olive branch,
for the modification of coat room
boys, who, according to our visitors
from afar. scorn a lower reward for
their unsolicited services.
The dime will show the fasces, the
honored symbol OF unity and power,
backing n Liberty adorned with a
winged cap. The money flies away.
But does anybody nowadays count a
dime as money? Does II not occupy
the ignoble place Of the cent In that
California Of which the Native Sons
never cease 10 boast?
Let us await the new tokens with
suspended judgment. The half dollar
has fallen into unexplained unpopu-
larity. Why do the people reject II,
seeking instead two twenty-five cent
pieces? II is II good coin. Let the
cashiers worry: the preceding de-
eigners Of now coins forgot that they
should stack" May Art join hands
with utility In the Wilsonian issue!

Looking Backward, Newark Prepares
for . Greater Future.

Newark's celebration Of Its two
hundred and fiftieth anniversary Is
not, rs might be gathered from some
Of Its complimentary notices. an In
g%enious advertising scheme and moth
ing more. Newark does not need to
be introduced to Its sister cities. It's
products are known. used and mp
preciated the country v It's name
Is held In too high esteem to gain adj
ditional rcpute by blowing the trum.
pet to draw an audience for procla-
nation of Its size and vaunt OF its
commercial and industrial rank.
The magnificent pageant which now
crowns the summers programme not
only pictures dramatically Newark's
varied past but expresses in the as
semblnge Of spectators her present
strength and her aspiration. II Is
as truly spiritual an exercise as the
worship in her churches. The idlest
onlooker must be aware Of a definite
purpose and a meaning underlying the
display on land and water.
Newark is proud Of her possessions.
proud of her achievement. proud OF
her past and confident of her future.
And America must he proud Of New
ark. not as an exception among her
cities, but as splendidly typical.

While there was a majority Of ten

Suit Against Spreckles
Over Coos Bay Railroad

Portland, Or, April 1.-THE suit of
r. A, Graham against J. d. Spreekles
and brothers and the Southern Pacific
began in federal court here this morn
ing. Graham is suing for an account
ing of the affairs of the Coos Bay, Rose
burg and Eastern railway and the
Beaver Hill Coal company, and for an
interest which he claims in both com
panies.
The Spreekels brothers financed Gra-
ham when he was promoting the rail
road from Marshfield to Myrtle Point
about 1890. For his indebtedness,
amounting to 100000, Graham pdelged
the stock and bonds of the railroad. The
Spreckles finally took over all the
property without the legal action of
foreclosure. The transaction included
the steamers Breakwater and Czarina.
Later the Spreckels brothers sold the
property to the Southern Pacific for
81 100000. Graham S suit is based on
the contention that Spreckles didn t
bring foreclosure suit in taking the
property.
