HATIoUAL lIsERrY, HUAAN
FREEDOn, AND HIuILlsA.
When President Lincoln proclaimed
emancipation and freedom TO the slave
Il was the proudess and most glorious
act in the social and political history.
Of his country. yet he vas brutally
and publicly sssassinassd BY . man
who dramatically rsjoiced over his
internal ~schisvsmsnt, and found plenty
to approve Of ths.eowsrdly deed. The
browning glory Of Emperor Als1andsr's
reign was his emancipation Of the ssrfs.
the slaves Of Russia. and be. too. now
lies dead. the victim Of . rejoicing
assassin. whose brutal oct, publicly com.
mittsd, hnds approval In the dsprsvsd
hearts Of thousands. Lincoln and Alex.
andsr we're two very different men. and
the chief rulers Of two very different
nations. yet the names Of both must
svermors remain connected with those
two bright sras In the history Of national
liberty and human freedom.
Some very strange and mot easily sx-
planned anomalies exist in political hu.
man nature. There are men. and Q
great many Of them, too. who are stsrn-
ally bowling for freedom. the rights Of
man. and against some oppression OF
tyrannical government which 10 tram
ping people under foot, holding them
in bondage and subsection under . gall
ing yoke and bound In heavy chains.
They Affect . vast deal Of sentimental
sympathy for tho oppressed and down
troddsn. yet these are the very men who
reioiced at the assassination Of Lincoln,
and who would even now. IL they could.
restore slavery and destroy the nation.
They do not appreciate the blessings oil
q free and enlightened government. bu,
are chemically growing and chatting un-
der some imaginary restraint. or com.
munistically striving after what belongs
to somebody else. Yet give these men
oil they ask. place them in power. and
they would DO the most blinaly. bigotsd-
~ oppressive Of oil oppressors.
These are tho men who nov rejoice
over the dastardly assassination Of Alex.
andsr. who emsncipated the ssrfs and
abolished slavery in Russia. The Nj
hilists. communists and earbonsri o.
Europe have their counterpart In Amsri'
ca. They have no definite or consistent
ideas or appreciation Of human freedom
In fact the more freedom and liberty Il
given them the more they will take. ant
the worse Il 10 for themselves and every
body else.
The new Gar Of Russia may b . 70
more bensncsnt ruler than his preds
osssor. give still moro freedom TO tn
masses and confer increased prosPerit,
upon the country andtis people. but II
element will still exist which hates al
rulsrs, and will seek his life. whassvs
may have been the faults Of Alexander
the freed seris Of Russia will sincersl
mou his cruel martyrdom a. do th
freed slaves Of America the nartyrdor
of Abraham Lincoln.

When President Garfield kissed III
