Abraham Lincoln

On the fourth Of May. 1865, amid the pas
sionate grief of nation, all that was mortal
OF Abraham Lincoln was consigned to the
tomb. On the fifteenth of October of the
present year monument was, with fitting
pomp and ceremonial, dedicated to his mem
DRY. Scarcely ten years has passed since
his death, and yet so rapid have been the
march OF events, and so great the change
wrought, that Abraham Lincoln seems more
the hero of an early and heroic age of the
nation than the central figure of conflict
the echoes of which have not yet died away.
He was one Of those men who violate all
the laws of historical perspective. Ordinar-
lily the men of oar own time have little of the
hero and demigod about them. 1t is only as
we look back into the far past through the
shadows of intervening years, that men Of
common stature loom mp likel giants. But
Lincoln, like other children of genius, took
his place among the marble statues of the
nations Pantheon, almost before the clay of
the first model had had time to grow cold.
Not decade has elapsed, and yet the man
has become demigod about whom myths
and legends cluster.
The dedicatory ceremonies at Springfield
conjure up the memories, some now growing
dim, of the civil war; and the bright deeds of
that time flash before us like the sheet light
ming of storms that have long ceased. Even
the errors, injustice and crime of those days
are only tie shadows of great and noble
picture to which they impart the just truth.
OF all the utterances of that period, none
breathes loftier spirit of eloquence than the
address of Abraham Lincoln at the dedica-
ton of the Gettysburg burial ground, on the
nineteenth of November, 1858. 1t was spok-
en- in a time Of war, but the splendid apos-
trophe with which it closes is as appropriate
now as it was then. Very fitting indeed
would have been the repetition on Thursday
last at Springfield, of these words,-words
which should never.pass from out the mem
ory of Americans; l..-.
at is altogether fitting and proper that we
should be here. But ia larger sense we cam
not dedicate, we cannot cOnsecrate, we cannot
hallow this ground. The brave men, living or
dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it
far beyond our power to add or detrac.. The
world will little note. nor long remember, what
we say here, but it can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for us, the living, rather to be
dedicated here TO the unfinished work that they
have thus far so nobly carried on. 1t is rather
for us to be here dedicated to the great task
remaining before US, that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to that cause
for which they here gave the last full measure
of devotion; that we here highly resolve that
the dead shall not have died in vain, that the
nation shall, under God, have new birth of
frQadOm and that U0Vqrnm emf of the npOn1n nv
the people, AID for the people, shall not perish
from the .rth."

A Man Who JustiGes the Shooting of
Candy.
A meeting was held in the Hollis street
church tonight to consider the Indian policy.
Father Gleason presided and in the course Of
his remarks eulogized Capt. Jack and defended
his shooting of Candy aDd Thomas by the In
dams. Col Meacham arose and stated that he
took no part in such an assertion and believed
the assassination of Candy and Thomas das-
tardly outrage. Gleason then said he had read
in Oregon papers that Meacham was political
adventurer. Had he offered to Capt. Jack the
terms the President had desired Candy and
Thomas would not have been shot,
Meacham made no reply to this but said
Gleason had advertised him to speak without
his authority, and after further wrangling
Meacham left the church.

New YORK, Oct ia letter from General

that it is encamped on Oasis Creek awaiting
supplies. Thorough scouting in that neighbor-
hood shows that the Indians have all deserted
that part of the country. Hopes are expressed
that Santanta and Big Tree will now be sum-
marily dealt with for their treachery before
any peace commissioners can intercede for
these murderers. The command will Join the
forces at Washington, and then the whole force
under Gen. Miles will move forward to clean

B. L. Boden was mortally and two others of
the party severely wounded, while the Indians
are believed to have lost ten killed and wound
ed. The survivors Of the white party have re-
turned.
Apprehensions are felt for the safety of a
party of twenty seven who left this city for the
Black Hills, and who intended to travel in the
track of the Yankton party. The Indians are
understood to have expressed determination
to prevent white men entering the region of
the Black Hills at all hazards.

THE diplomatic note which Spain has sent
to France sounds like an echo of tae past,
for it is couched in that arrogant tone which
Spanish cabinets were wont to assume to-
ward neighboring governments two centuries
age. The general testimony is to the effect
that the French government is guarding its
Iberian border with much more vigilance
than was exercised six months ago. But the
concessions of France are met with increased
demands on the part of Spain. The Peninsu-
lar republic evidently feels much stronger
than it did last spring-so strong as to create
the impression that Germany is at its back.
Bismarck has the credit of never giving up
plan once formed, and it is possible he still
has hopes of placing German prince on the
Spanish throne. Unless Spain had power
ful friend at need it would not dare to as
sumo so naughty Ia tone toward powerful
neishbor which has SO great facilities for as
