Lincoln Address Delivered Last Evening by Hon. W. D. Foulke

It is fortunate that America has had for it two greatest president men drawn one from the very highest and the other from the very lowest ranks of social life. Washington was courtly, rich, aristocratic; Lincoln was born In the midst of utter poverty, of a father poor and shiftless and a mother who was an illegitimate child. These things ought to teach us that true greatness is not the peculiar her1 itage of any rank or station that each American must be Judged by his own merits, not by his ancestors, nor by the wealth or poverty which surrounds him. It Is not uninteresting in this Quaker neighborhood to know that the ancestors of Lincoln himself were Quakers from Berks county, Pennsylvania, and that when the family moved to Kentucky It was with the family of Daniel Boone, also of Quaker origin: With this family there bad been frequent Intennarirages. Lincoln's granfather was killed by savages and his father, when a child of six, barely escaped captivity. Wife- Teaches Lincoln. , Willie learning his trad as a carpenter he married Nancy Hanks, who St was said could ead and write, and who taught her husband to form the letters of his name. In a log cabin in Hardm county they lived in great poverty and here, one hundred years ago, AlMmaaa Lincoln was born. He lived a solitary life In fee woods and so hard his surroundings that - he never teftsdof those days even to his most totixeato friends. 15m father, Thomas, Concluding that TDmtaeay ; was ao place for a poor seam, removed to Indiana, building a rode raft, wale he loaded - with his idt of tools and four hundred gallons

When he reached his des he built for temporary .she! tea-a shed of poles, protected from the weather on three sides, but open In front, and for a whole yesr-hls family lived in this wretched abode while he cleaned the ground for com and built a rough cabin for a permanent dwelllng. The cabin too, was left for a year or two without doors or windows or floor, A few three legged Stools, a bedstead of poles ' stuck In between the logs; the table of hewed legs, a pot, a kettle, and skillet were the furniture. Abraham elimbed at night to his bed of leaves in the loft. The milk sickness prevailed' and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, succumbed to it and was buried in a clearing nearby without ceremony. . Some months afterwards ' Abraham had a- . wandcrlng preacher deliver a funeral sermon over her grave. His father now brought a new wife from Kentucky and there .was' greater thrift in the little cabin. . Was a Wild Region, "ft was a wild region," wrote Lincoln afterward, "with many hears and other wild animals still in the woods.' There were some schools bat no qualification was required of a teacher beyand "redln,' writin and cipherin to the rale of three." Lincoln's schoolla was less than a year in all. The Bine mites of walking every day seemd to his father a. waste of time, and he was put to 'steady work.' Bu he had leaned to read and the lew books he could get Aesop Fables, Robinsen Crusoe, Pilgrim's Progress and "The Life of Washington," he learned almost bjr heart. v - "" v ' : i He would ait la the twilight and reed a dictionary as long as he could see.

SUGGESTION ACTED UPON AFTER THE PALLADIUM STARTED THE MOVEMENT IT WAS TAKEN UP BY YOUNG MEN'S BUSINESS ; CLUB. Who originated the Lincoln day exercises? . The question has been asked repeatedly today and has remained unanswered. The Young Men's : Business club made a success , of ' the event, which never has been excelled by any public gathering in this city. But the real story came before ever the crab heard any proposition of any kind. Four ' weeks ago Saturday night a Palladium reporter was ' wondering what to write for Sunday morning's edition. He came out of his dream with a start and the question "Why shouldn't Richmond celebrate the Lincoln centenary? There waa no answer. "Wei!, let's spring It aad then see it

which he would shave off and then begin again. He soon attained his full physical growth, G feet 4 inches, and great strength, so that he could do a man's work before he was a man. When he was nineteen he went down to New Orleans on a flat boat. One night he attacked a gang of marauders and put them to flight and he managed and sold the cargo with success. Two years later his father emI-: grated to Illinois and. after weeks of weary tramping a new cabin was put up on the Sangamon river where Lincoln plowed a fifteen acre field and split the rails which fenced it in. - In the campaign of 1860 two of these rails . electrified the state . convention and kindled the enthusiasm of the country. But Lincoln now left the clearing and moved to the little town of New Salem. . - Makes Flat Boat Trip. Again he went to New Orleans in a flat boat and there seeing the negroes chained, maltreated and scourged, his heart bled for them and he formed bis lasting opinion of slavery. At New Salem he was a cjerk in a grocery store, known for his sterling honesty as well as for his ability to thrash the bullies of the I neighborhood. He was elected captain In the Black Hawk war and when his company was mustered out he re-enlisted as a private but saw little fighting. When he returned to New Salem, he was a Whig candidate for the legislature.; In the handbill - which , announced his candidacy, he said: "I have no ambition so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem. I - was born and have ever remained in the most, humble walks of life. I have no wealthy or powerful relations or friends to recommend me. My case is thrown exclusively upon the independent voters of the county; and, if elected, they;

will have conferred a favor upon me, tor wntcn l . snail be unremitting in my labors to compensate. But If the good people in their wisdom shall see " fit to keep me in the background. I have been too familiar with disappointments to be very ' much ' chagrined. , Made Few Speeches. ' He had time to make a few speeches In his canvas. The metings were sometimes, disorderly. Once when he. saw a ruffian attack a friend he came down from the stand, seized, the assailant by the neck, threw him "some ten feet," and then mounted to his place and finished his speech. He was not successful In his canvass, though the vote from his own neighborhood was almost jinanimous in his favor. He could whip any man he met, yet he never sought a quarrel He was s everybody's friend and yet used - no liquor or no tobacco. He had scarcely ever been at school, yet he was well Informed, intelligent and not given to profanity or scandal. This time his majority led that of all the other candidates. He took no specially conspicuous position in the legislature. In a speech in answer to Douglas, Lincoln thus spoke of the authors of the Declaration of Independence : "They did not mean to assert the obvious untruth that all were then actually enjoying that equality, or yet that they were about to confer it immediately upon them. In fact they had no power to confer such a boon. They meant simply to declare the right, so that the enforcement of it might follow as fast as circumstances should permit! They meant to set up a standard maxim for free society, which should be familiar to all. and revered by all: constantly looked to. constantly labored for, and, even though never,: perfectly attained, constantly approximated, and : thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence and augmenting the, happiness and we cant get some organisation to take hold and push it along," the reporter remarked and then proceeded to pound out a couple of columns of copy. : .... Plan Carried Out. The plan suggested -in detail was exactly as carried out. In "the very first story it was proposed to have a publie meeting and a. speaker of note deliver the address. It was suggested that the veterans of the civil war be made the guests of honor, that music be a feature of the program, that there be appropriate decorations and that Isaac Jenkinson be . accorded the respect of the entire city. The story of Mr. Jenkinsoc's experience as a Lincoln elector was related. The suggestion was made that the large boulder In Olen Miller park be designated as a Lincoln Bowlder" and a bronse tablet suitably Inscribed be placed on it. Leede Gives Tablet - The next day the reporter called boon Rudolph G. Leeds, president of the Young Men's Business club and interested him in the proposition. - Mr. Leeds consented to bring the matter before the directors of the club at their next meeting the next evening. "What's this about some kind of a tablet r asked Mr. Leeds. After hearingan explanation, he remarked, "Just go ahead and have that done, and Til pay for it and give it to the city." The club accepted the proposition and the work begun that culminated in the magnificently successful affair of last evening. OStee Boy-Dat caller's got a funny name.

value of life to all people of all colors everywhere.". ' . Tell tame Tales Now And so In our own days when impracticable persons are telling us we have no right to hold the Philippines and train the natives for that capacity for' liberty government they do not yet possess these words come to us and set forth the ideal which must be ultimately sought, and not the present duty to give to these children who have passed into our tutelage, the powers and rights which will be justly, theirs when they have attained maturity in self government.. 8ome of the critics of President Roosevelt, who accuse him of using vituperative eplths detracting from his dignity, will do .ell to remember that even Lincoln could use strong language upon occasions. As the time for the inaugural approached, . Lincoln set out for Washington. Some of his speeches mada upon the way are classics in American oratory; .among others that which he delivered in Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, which he visited on Washington's birtlA y, and in considering the vital principle of the Declaration of Independence which had

kept the nation so long together, he said "that it gave liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but hope to all the world, for all future time. It was that which gave promise that indue time the weight would be lift-, ed from the shoulders of all men and that all should have an equal chance." Assassination Plot. - v There was a plot to assassinate the president-elect as he passed through Baltimore, a plot discovered by the detectives, who were the "Secret Service! of that period; so he left secretly, by a night train, in advance of the time expected and reached Washington almost unaccompanied. . Newspapers reviled him for .; what they called his , "cowsrdlce." When he reached Washington he had already prepared his great inaugural. Seward, whom he had chosen for secretary of state, aided htm in the - finishing touches. He declared that he had no purpose to interfere with Slav ery in- the states, and that he would fugitive slave law. He considered the union perpetual and indestructible. Even if the constltuion were a mere contract, one party could not lawfully break it without the consent of the other. To the extent of his ability he "would see that the laws were carefully executed In all of the states. There need ' be - no bloodshed unless forced - upon f thenational authority. He would hold the places belonging to the government,' and collect the duties ' and imposts. ' Beyond ' what was necessary for this, there would be no invasion. The mails,' unless repelled, would be furnished in all parts of the union He discussed ' the issues between the sections and the necessity for submitting to the will of the mapority. He Insisted that the central idea of secession was the essence of anarchy. He thus continued: "Physically speaking, we can not separate. We can not remove our respective sections from each other, nor build an impassable wall between them. A husband and wife may be divorced, and go out of the presence and beyond, the reach of each other; but .the different parts of our country can not do this. They can not but remain face to face, and intercourse,': either amicable or hostile,must continue between them. Is it possible, then, to make that Intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? Can, treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws among friends? Suppose you go to war, you can not fight always; and when after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease ? fighting, the identical old questions as to terms of intercourse are again upon you." His eloquent conclusion was . spoken in words which have become immortal; "In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous' issue of civil war. The AN ITCHING PALM. No Cure for It. -Other Farms of Itching Preferable. There is no cure for an itching palm the money kind. Even poslam, the new skin discovery, cannot help it. But when it comes to eczema, the most annoying of" itching skin troubles, poslam will stop the itching at once and cure the worst cases in a few days. So with hives, rash, scabies, split toes, pHes, and scaly scalp, all of which are different forma of ecsema, accompanied by severe itching and caused by imperfect digestion and careless diet. Poslam comes in two-dollar jars, but fifty cents worth will answer in curing any of the diseases mentioned. It can be had of any druggist. W. H. Sudhoff makes of specialty of it, - ' - That results are Immediate will be amply demonstrated overnight by the use of the experimental sample which the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York City, will send tree by mail, in plain wrapper, to' any one who will write for it. King Leopold, of Belgium is selling his magnificent collections. A ' Parsian expert has estimated their value as at leasts seventy million francs. There are some marvelous canvases of Rubens, some signed Rembrandts, some authentic Raphaels.

government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in Heaven to desstroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to 'preserve, protect and defend it. " ' Vision of the Future. "I am loth to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the union, when again touched, as surely, they will be, by the better angels of our nature." Now negro suffrage has been secured in measure by the constitution, although there has been a shuffling effort in many Southern states to deprive the negro of this right by the 'grandfather clause' in various state constitutions. Such a clause is unworthy of a people who love justice. It might be perfectly, right to exclude all. black or white who are uneducated, if, opportunities of education are given. It might even be fair to say that no man should vote who has no property, if opportunity be given to every one to acquire some property, but there is no justice in making a man's right to vote dependent upon the condition of his grandfather, the

color of his skin or his previous condition of servitude. These clauses in .state constitutions are wrong; and hey are none the less wrong because the courts may have decided them to be constitutional. The status of each negro ought to depend upon his own qualities as a man and not upon his color or descent. Reactionary Sentiment. I am sorry to say that in late years there has been a good deal of reactionary sentiment even in the North in this particular. . There is far more prejudice against the negro than there was twenty years ago. When I served in the senate In Indiana, Mr. Townsend, a colored man of this city, had been , elected and was serving In the house of representatives. We all treated him with the respect to which he was entitled. Wherever we went, whether it was to a legislative junket or anythingwhere else, he went with us and he was treated exactly like the rest of us. He deserved . good treatment, for he was an upright, honorable, gentlemanly man. I am sorry to say I fear be would not be mo well treated today. I doubt whether he could "be elected from Wayne county. A great deal of old prejudice has arisen again In ' our midst , and it is all wrong. But, it is not altogether the fault of the white men that it has again risen. There have been a good many negroes who have not conducted themselves as well as they should have done and have thus encouraged the prejudice against the whole race. Some have not been industrious, some have been intemperate, and some have not been so modest and well behaved as good people ought to be, no matter to what race they, belong. There are black people, and white people too, who sell their votes,, but I fear there are more in proportion among the negroes than among the whites. Now we ought not to condem the race for what the bad men in It do. bnt men', will do this and the best advice to hj colored man is to avoid th evil which encourages - the prejudice. Then I think that the colored people acted very unwisely when they showed their willingness to follow . such leaders as Jos. B. Foraker, an unscrupulous politician who cared little for them but who wanted to use them for his own purposes against such a tried and true friend as Theodore Roosei velt had always been to their race, r The Negro Question. Those of us who believe with Lincoln that all men are created equal and that this principle should have practical application as soon as it is itself reasonably practical, will oppose all prejudice against the negro because he is a negro, but on the other FRENCH: CONSCRIPTS.
