From Lincoln Day Address. I say here to-night, measuring every word that I utter, that the great menace which now Is overhanging the prosperity of this country like a pall, the thing that has filled the soup houses of Pittsburg and Youngstown and the great labor sections of this country, ls neither more nor less than the gigantic threat of reprisals on the part of men who still adhere to the doctrines of Jefferson Davis and John C. Calhoun, who uM political victory simply to intllct punishment upon the men who defeated them. The fruit which we are having pressed to our lips to-day to my mind is Just as cleary as can possibly be demonstrated the recult of the denial of the rights of American citizenship which was won by the blood of VV Union soldiers and the suppression of free ballots of free men whose rights were guaranteed by the pen of Abraham Lincoln ard by the Constitution of the United States. But, my friends, I was not asked to make a tiolitleal speech, but to Fpeak about the flag, and let me say to you that the Republican party, if it would win battle in the future, must win them as it did from ISO) to 10.. It must win them with Old Olory fully unfurled, with no stripe erased nor polluted nor a single star o!scured. We mint show our faith in the principles enunciated by the founders of the Republican p-irty. We must stand by those leiders of Republicanism who are not ashamed for the faith that ls In them. We mu?t insist, that we will have a patriotism In this country broad enough and strong enough to maintain the American flag, not only over every foot of American territory, but it shall be spread out in hospitable welcome over any of the islands of the sea that may visa to come under its protecting folds. llnslnesn Umbarrnftiimcnti.

MR. CI1II.DS AM) NEWSPAPERS. Ills Klmlncsn Tonnril Other ' Sheet, nml Active Interest In Ills Own. New York Sun. Many of the obituary notices of "the late George W. Childs mentioned the fact that he would never allow criticism of another newspaper or another newspaper's course to be printed In his own newspaper, and that he always rejoiced over the success of his direct rivals. So true was this that he never seemed to think there could be any rivalry in newspaper publishing, so far as his own enterprise was concerned. His ingenious belief that tho Ledger was beyond the reach of rivalry, and that it towered in motives, and in fact, above all other newspapers, often made his closest friends smile, but never In his presence. Fond as he was of making gifts and of receiving praise for what he did, the Ledger was after all the chief object of his affection. To a Sun man who dropied into his oiiice a year or two ago to renew a former acquaintance when the younger man lived in Philadelphia. Mr. Childs said: "I try to lind time to look over the Sun every day. One thing I like about It very much, and that Is its manifest desire to be accurate in every' detail, even the smallest. That is one of the things t have tried hardest for in the Ledger. This is why 1 think that the Sun approaches nearer to the Ledger as a ereat newspaper thar. any I know." Mr. Childs said thi3 so earnestly and so seriously that his limner had no difficulty in repressing the smile that, otherwise, flight have come over his feature had a similar comparison of newspaper excellencies been a topic of conversation elsewhere. Just after Mr. Childs made this remark his office boy brought in a card and Mr. Childs said, "Show 1dm right In." saying to the Sun man, "Sit right still; he will stay only a moment." The caller was a man of middle age. He was ill and worried. The two men greeted each other cordially. "I've come to say good-by," said the visitor, his lips oulvering and his eyes filling with tears. "1 don't know how to thank" "Don't say anything about that," said Mr. Childs, slowly moving towards the door and gently, almost imperceptibly, pulling the visitor with him. The two whispered half a minute together. Mr. Childs got the other man to the threshold, and with a warm handshake actually pushed him outside, although it is doubtful if the caller knew he had done so. "You didn't recognize that man, did you?" asked Mr. Childs when he came back. "Why, I'm surprised: but then he's changed so in appearance. ll ls Mr. Blank, mentioning the name or the editor and publisher of a wellknown evening newspaper of Philadelphia. I'm afraid he won t live long. He has been worried over business. and the doctors ordered him to go to Europe. I heard he couldn't afford to go because of his business troubles, so I have just put my bank account at the disposal or his business man.iger while he is gone. Now he'll go off and not worry, and it may save his life. Besides, I do not like to see another newspaper go down. I was afraid he'd break down, and that's why I told you he wouldn't stay lonp and why I urged him toward the door, as you must have The amiable vanity which Mr. Childs displayed in telling of his own kindness, a qualltj much misunderstood by those who saw no other side of him and who frequently commented on this in print as a greit weakness in a great man. was pardonable because of that mysterious something in hi3 manner which showed that self-glorification had almost no share In the recital, and that It y.as th love of doing a good turn to another that prompted him to tell of his satisfaction in it. Most ofr the leading reporters of Philadelphia knew Mr. Child3 well personally. He was one of the few newspaper men who would give other newspaper men a beat on his own newspaper. lie was often the repository of much information, particularly about the Drexel affairs, socially as well as financially, that was of public interest and that he could not publish himself. He alwaj's insisted upon being hidden as the source of information, but time and time again would give out news of absorbing local interest and see his own newspaper beaten. The next day the Ledger would come with a "second-day story," but after that would keep up with the others In publishing the news. Tim one n:wspaper beat that Mr. Childs took absolute delight in was the Belknap scandal of the Grant regime. The Ledger was the only newspaper in Philad?lpnla to publish this Important news. Mr. Childs had secured confirmation of its truth In person the day before from President Grant himself, and he had a big "scoop" on the town. Mr. Borle. of Philadelphia, was Secretary of the Navy at the time. He was in Philadelphia when the exposure came out. He hurtled to Mr. Child's office, and as he hurried in he exclaimed: "Mr. Childs, Isn't that story about Belknap an outrage? Of course it's news, and you had to print it. I have just mailed to Belknap a letter expressing my sympathy and Indignation." "Mailed that letter?" asked Mr. Childs. "Yes. I just put it in the letter box myself." "Well, hurry to tho postoffice and get that letter back." said Mr. Childs. "That story ls true. President Grant told me so yesterday." Mr. Childs probably told this story five hundred times, but he told it the last time with as much interest and satisfaction in a big beat as he did the first time. Commenting on this trait of hl3 character one of his friends said that Mr. Childs was a philanthropist most of the time, but a newspaper man all the time. PACKING TIIE SUPREME COURT. The Disgraceful nml Shnmelens Course of President Cleveland. Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) It is notorious that the President has thrown himself into th? conflict in the Senate as eagerly as certain youths of Shakspeare's time "thundered at the playhouse, and fought for bitten apples." It ls discussed In the daily papers whethsr Senator So-and-So has been briiJ by an olhce, and whether Senator This-or-That has changed over to the President's side as the result of an interview with him. Senator Cockrell is so indignant at having his name bandied about In the papers in this manner that he has written a letter to a friend, and permitted it to be published, in which he repels the idea that he has been under the manipulation of the President. Does any one pretend that Mr. Cleveland is treating his office as "a public trust" while thus engaged? Is h? strictly observing his otlicial oath while he seeks to i-er-vert the judgment of Serttors with Kl.t3 to their friends of th offices he holds in trust for the prople and all for the purpose of putting a favorite on the bench against tne advice and consent of the Senate? Suppose he succeeds, and suppose two more vacancies should occur during his term. If the offices held out, then he might force through two other favorites. Then a majority of the court would be of his apIfOintment. What a harvest this would be for him and his law firm, if he chose to reap it. It would have no influence with the court, but many litigants would believe to the contrary. Those there are who are ever seeking lawyers who are Intimate with the judges, foolishly hoping that this may make a difference In their favor. The view Is presented to show what possibilities arise out of present conditions. It is not probable that Mr. Cleveland would use his opportunities. He certainly would never appear before Judge Peckham and argue a case. The scars received by hlrn in lighting for the hitter's confirmation would be a terrible handicap for the other side. The hope of Mr. Cleveland himself should be that Peckham may be defeated and the way left open for him to nominate a lawyer of 'high repute and judicial mind and a stranger to iolltical strife, and then l-ave the Senate undisturbed in their deliberations upon the confirmation. If every vacancy that occurs on the Supreme Bench Is to be filled by the methods employed to foist Peckham upon It, we cannot answer when the world says that we have a packed Supreme Court. MR.
