{FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1894.

THE people of Hawaii are long suffering'and patient. Any other government would have given the iutermeddler Willis his walking papers long- ago.

IF the markets of the world cannot take our surplus wheat, how can we oxpect such markets in which to place •ur manufactured goods? Will some '•markets-of-the-world" theorist answer this question?

THE gold reserve has again reached the 8100,000,000 mark, but it was placed there by the sale of five per cent, bonds. Can it be kept there without selling more bonds? Great is Democratic financiering.

A CORRESVONDKNT of the New York Press suggests that a tax of $2.r0 be placed on all male immigrants of 18 years and over. He thinks it would keep out pauper immigrants and increase the fund in the treasury $25,000,000.

A DEMOCRATIC contemporary says '"Americans eat too much." In these "good old Democratic times" there are a lot of Americans who are not overfeeding. Possibly this is one of the "reforms" of "the Democratic tariff reform" party.

CnicAGO Inter-Ocean: That great search light which was upon the Liberal Arts Building at the World's Fair ia to go to Sandy Hook. Cleveland ought to have taken it to Washington. He will need it before his four years are ended—to hunt for the Democratic party.

DEMOCRATS have cut off 830,000,000 in the appropriation bills for public buildings and other improvements. This will deprive 500,000 men of work during the next two years. Work on many public improvements will stop and the buildings will fall into ruin. They call this "Democratic economy."

THE Cincinnati Tribune observes that '•when the election law was repealed the Democracy killed a corpse." The law was a dead letter. It would be something like the irony fate if now that it has been repealed the Republicans should carry some of the Southern States. Keep your eye on Louisiana and Alabama.

THE Wilson bill is a direct blow at the West and is as unfair as it is dishonest. Lead is put on the free list, while the powder alone used for mining it is one-sixth of the entire cost, and is protected 50 per cent. The cost of mining outside of powder is 80 per cent, of the total cost, while lead pipe, shot and everything made out of lead is protected.

ALI.KN G. THURMAN in common with all Democrats of that day pointed out twenty-five years ago that "an income tax falls on labor in the end, no matter how it is levied." The Republicans adopted it then as a war measure and defended it only on the grounds of the necessities arising out of the rebellion. In time of peace the Democrats propose to take possession of the camps abandoned by the Republicans twenty years ago.

THK Indianapolis News humorously comments on the organization of Simonides Court of the order of Ben-Hur as follows:

Viewing with pleasure, as all friends of progress must, the unfolding of the oriental flower of the order of Ben-Hur at the town of Crawfordsville. we rejoice to see that Simonides Court is soon to have a banquet, where doubtless the legendary pinch of salt will be the first course. As yet, however, nothing has been heard from Balhinch. There, it is rumored, the chariot race degree has already been conferred on many sturdy Montgomery county yeomen, but just how the galley slave part of the initiation is received we wait witli impatience to learn.

THE memorial of the National Wool Growers'Association laid before the I

Tnited

States Senate is a striking de­

scription of the widespread havoc which the Wilson bill will inflict in case it becomes a law in its present shape. The memorial ought to command the gravest attention on the part of the Senate. The Wool Growers' Association represents over 1,000,000 flock-masters, with a total invested capital of §500.000,000, disbursing S85, 000,000 every year for labor. The value of the annual product of the wool industry is over 825,000,000 more than the combined value of the product of the gold and silver mines of the United States for 1892.

BISIIOl'XEWMAX ON LINCOLN. Among the many excellent addresses made on the anniversary of Lincoln's birthday none excelled that of Bishop John 1'. Newman, of the Methodist church, who responded to a toast at a meeting of the New York Republican Club. The Bishop's voice took the remembered ring of the patriotic pulpit of war times as he warmed to his epic theme. He said:

On this remarkable occasion let us call the roll of honor, recount the great benefactors who have blessed mankind, and call up the great statesmen of the past, and you will agree with me that there is one name that is worthy o! imperishable fame, and that is, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln's place in history is assured. Generations may pass away, empires may rise and fall, republics may be born and die, liberty may be a homeless wanderer among the tribes of men, but so long as men can revere, esteem and admire patriotism and love of liberty, so long will they recall his illustrious name with acclamations of gratitude and delight. He has all the symbols of this world's admiration, embalmed in song, recorded in history, eulogized in panegyric, cast in bronze, sculptured in marble, painted on canvas, loved in the hearts of his countrymen, and living in the memories of mankind, he is destined to live among the few mortals whom God has bidden into immortality.

Some men are eminent while living, but their memory passes from the world because their ambition was limited, because their words and depds are not of real worth to history. Their fame is temporary largely because the world has taken possession of great thoughts, because documents have been discovered that reveal their selfishness. The sun of mauy a conspicuous man has gone down while yet it is day. But Lincoln' fame can never suffer from either of these causes, for his life's ambition was this great country, as vast as humanity and as enduring as time. And it is not possible,

is not

gentlemen, that any thought can occupy the human mind greater than obedience to law in opposition to rebellion, or greater than liberty in opposition to slavery.

Knowing him as we do in private ways and public walks, in the sanctities of home and the duties of the Presidential chair, in social correspondence and in public utterances, there is no stain against his fair fame as a man, a citizen or a President. Some men are not honored by their contemporaries, benefactors of mankind though they seem. They die neglected, unsung and unmonumented, but future generations call their memories forth and embalm them in affection and gratitude. Lincoln had a three-fold greatness: Great in life, great in death and great in the history of the world.

And why was he great? What did he accomplish? Ask the old flag that floats over a unified Republic, ask this prosperous country of ours with its happy homes, its fertile fields, its metalic mines and its mineral mountains, its splendid commerce and its hitherto prosperous manufactories. (Great cheers.) Ask the Grand Army of the Republic ask millions of freedmen advancing to abetter civilization ask the nations of the old world, who now have a profound respect for this proud and glorious country of ours. •Great men appear in groups, and in groups they disappear from the vision of the world. Isolated greatness is a stranger to our race. Solidarity is the law of national progress. Wherever there is one who is eminently great, around him are other great ones. First instance the magnificent group of the sixteenth century—Maximilian I. and Charles V., Francis I., and Henry VIII., Isabella and Ferdinand, Columbus and Luther. And these contemporaries, Napoleon in Franca, Wellington in England and Washington in America. Remember that historic group of our own country, Lincoln and Grant, Seward and Chase, Stanton and Summer. Morton and Conklin, Sherman and Sheridan, Porter and Far ragut. Beat that if you can. We are to measure Lincoln by the greatness of his associates. Some men are great because of the littleness of their surroundings. (Laughter and cheers.) He only is great, Mr. President, who is great ainid greatness. And this law of historic grouping is true of our day.

When the crisis comes God lifts the curtain from obscurity and the man for the hour comes forth. The crisis is upon us. It reminds us of the dark days of the sixties. But upon the throne above is the God of our fathers, and we have nothing to fear with Sherman in tlie Senate (cheers) and Reed in the House (cheers( and McKinley in Ohio (cheers) and God over all

Our English cousins attempted to cast a slur upon Lincoln because of his lowly origin. We are not ashamed of the lowliness of his birth. We are proud of his greatness, as illustrating the possibilities of our government. Of the nineteen Presidents, fourteen were university men, having graduated with the highest honors, and with two or three exceptions all occupied the highest social position from the cradle to the grave, but I confess to you that I would rather be the rail splitter of Illinois, the canal driver of Ohio, or the tanner of Galena, and die the honored President of the United States, than to be born a royal prince and die a royal scoundrel.

The beauty of his immortal character has thrown into the shade the splendors of his intellect. The time will come when the severest critics of mental philosophy and mental develent will sit in judgment and admiration upon the splendid brain of that great man. lie was a logician by nature. His terse and beautiful rhetoric rivals the utterances of the greatest orators of the past and present. He was truly great.

It is well, therefore, Republicans, that you gather here once a year around this festive board to commemorate the character of this illustrious man: gather here to kindle the tires of patriotism gather here to protect the freedom and purity of the ballot and that the Republican party may have a new baptism of patriotism and once more enter into the control of this great country's affairs.

Pi'Bi.Vc health, private convenience and municipal economy all demand a s./sfem of sewerage.

CHANGING WARD BOUNDARIES. There has been some agitation among the people in regard to enlarging the boundaries of the Second Ward. No change has been made in ward lines since the city was organized in 1805, except that the First and Third Wards have been enlarged by the addition of contiguous territory, so that now each of these Wards is twice as large as they were originally, while the Second Ward remains the long, narrow strip of territory that it was thirty years ago. Both in population and territory the First and Third are out of all proportion to the Second. That there should be a readjustment so that each Ward shall contain as nearly as possible an equal number of voters goes without saying-. Under the old law the work of creating new wards or of changing the boundaries of old ones was along and tedious process, but the Legislature of 1891 greatly simplified the steps to be taken. The act of 1891 authorizes the City Council and invests it with power to divide cities into wards, to change the boundaries of existing wards, and to re-district the city for ward purposes whenever in its judgment it shall be deemed expedient so to do. Such wards shall contain as nearly as possible an equal number of votand be composed of compact and contiguous territory, but divisions into wards, or change of existing ward boundaries, or redisricting for ward purposes shall be made oftener than once in ever3'period of ten years. Section 2 provides that City Councils shall in creating new wards or changing the boundaries of old wards do so by ordinance, and shall give notice of such action by at least three publications, for three successive weeks, in two papers of opposite politics published in the city.

TIIE STATE LINCOLN LE AG UK. The annual meeting of the State Lincoln League at Indianapolis yesterday was largely attended, every part of the State being represented. The interest and enthusiasm manifested were forecasts of tlie victories that are destined to come throughout the State next November. Marcus R. Sulzer was reelected President by acclamation, and R. E. Mansfield and L. W. Cooper Secretary and Treasurer respectively. The manager and delegates to the national convention were then chosen, those from the Eighth district being as follows: A. M. Hadley, of Roekville, manager. Delegates W. C. Hall, of Brazil Charles Hammerstein, of Terre Haute: Fred Boord, of Covington John R. Bonnell, of Crawfordsville. Alternates—Dave Strouse. of Roekville D. C. Johnson, of Clinton S. A. White, of Sullivan and A. T. Hart, of Brazil. The resolutions endorsed the administration of General Harx-ison and state the position of the Republican party public questions. At night, exPresident Harrison, Hon. Thomas II. Nelson, Hon. Frank B. Posey and Col. A. II. Hardy delivered ringing addresses which were in fact the keynotes of the campaign. In was an auspicious beginning of the campaign. The ball having been started it will now be kept rolling by its own momentum.

HON. J. C. HENDRIX, a Democratic Congressman from New York, who voted against the Wilson bill, lias been censured and called upon to resign by one of the Demociatic clubs of Brooklyn. He says in reply: "The income tax, it is commonly thought, only reaches those who have more than 84,000 a year. This is a mistake. It takes every one who has money in any stock or bond. It creates a lot of Government spies, who, in a large city, will be a public nuisance, and gives them power such as only a Judge of the Supi-eme Court should have. It clips a widow's insurance money, and takes a tax out of the proceeds of legacies and certain sales of real estate. The holder of a hun-dred-dollar share of five per cent, stock will have to pay ten cents tax."

Those who favor the income tax act upon the principle that property is theft, and the only way to "right the wrong" of holding* property is to share in the theft. It is a communistic theory and is absolutely hostile to the fundamental principles of our government.

MONDAY being the eighty-fifth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln it is appropriate that we should at tliis time refer to the closing words of his second inaugural: ••With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the Nation's wounds to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and orphans to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."

Rev. A. II. Peterman has just returned from Boone county, where he has been assisting in conducting are vival meeting at Union U. B. church. He reports ten additions, and the church greatly revived. We think Rev. Peterman's services were greatly appreciated from the amount of good things the church people have sent to his home in Mace. He received about $33 for eleven days' services for which he is very grateful to the people of old Union church.

Blood flowed deep here last Saturday night. For some time past there has been an ill feeling existing be tween one Samuel Coulter and II. M. Freeman. Saturday Mr. Coulter tackeled Freeman in Mr. Johnson's store and quite a storm of nice words fol lowed. Mr. Coulter accuses Freeman of being the author of this little item "Mr. Coulter has donned the once hated blue." We will say that Mr. Freeman did not write it and Coulter knows it for more than once he has told who wrote it. We think he just wants to stir up a racket. Now the correspon dents have almost quit writing about Coulter. It was his own fault that they ever commenced and we don't believe there was ever an item pub lished that any gentleman would have taken offense at, about the once hated blue. It was owe hated by the whole South.

The hayseed scribe of the Review says Matthew xiii, 31 says nothing about mustard seed. A man that would dispute God's holy word I am not surprised at him for copying items after studying two weeks how to an swer it and paying one of his friends to help him he could only dispute the Bible. would advise him to pull his hole in after him.
