THE NEW MINISTRY.

Lord Salisbury has partly completed his
difficult task of forming Tory cabinet out
of the rather homogeneous materials that had
to be used. The result looks as if there had
been an almost, if not quite, uncon-
ditional surrender to Lord Randolph
Churchill One of the latter's demands was
that some other Tory than Sir Stafford
Northeote should lead the party in the House
of Commons. This has been met by the
appointment of Sir Michael Hicks Beach to
the CHARACTERISTIC of the Exchequer and
the shelving of Northcote by making him a
peer and sending him to the upper house.
Another was that no attempt should be
made to renew the Crimes act. The changed
tone Of the Tory press relative to the neces-
sity of a renewal of the act indicates that
this demand has also been aSsented to.
Lord Churchill, if he has not succeeded IN
making himself exactly the Tory leader, is
fairly entitled to be considered the Tory die
tator who must be consulted and his assent
obtained before any important step is taken
by the new Premier. The position that he
gets for himself is the Secretaryship for
India, an Office always Of high Importance,
but now unusually important on account of
the Afghan boundary question: which is still
unsettled. If his lordship insists in his
new position on reducing to practice
the policy which he avowed when
in opposition, he will have no great
trouble in reopening the dispute with
Russia. But responsibility sobers the
most impetuous of men, and Lord Churchill
in Office. will, very likely, be much more
discreet person than Lord Churchill CRITICS.
ing the policy of the opposition.
The probability is that the new ministry
will seek to disturb the present condition of
things as little as possible. Indeed, any
radicslehange would be pretty certain to re-
suit in'their speedy defeat in the House of
Commons, where the majority is really
against them. Besides the general elections
are so near at hand that they will hesitate
to develop a distinctive policy of their own,
which may give the Liberals an opportu-
nifty to show them up on the stump. After
few measures indispensable to the conduct
of the government have been passed, Parlia-
ment win be dissolved, and appeal made to
the people. If the Conservatives win, we
may then look for the development of poll
cy But from this time till election they are
going to keep as shady as possible lest they
may be placed at still greater disadvan-

PRESIDENT LINCOLN.

S ,me "reminiscences by Hon. Hugh McCol-
Ioch. Ex-Sccrctary of the Treasury. as
told In the Philadelphia Sunday Press.
The history of Mr.. Lincoln's life is
an exceedingly interesting onc-more
interesting in many respects than that of
any other man which our country has
produced. Ofhumble parantage, with
out opportunities for mental culture in
early life, he became an able lawyer, a
forcible writer, a captivating and in
struCtive speaker, an executive officer
in the most trying period of our ia
ton history of singular foresight and
wisdom. Before his Joint debate with
Mr.. Douglas in IS5S he was little known
outside of his own state. The ability
which he displayed in that debate gave
him national reputation. He and
Mr.. Douglas were the rival candidates
for seat in the United States Senate,
of which Mr.. Douglas was prominent
member, but whose term of office was
about to expire.
Mr.. Douglas was the leading advo-
cate, in fact the father, of the doctrine
of popular sovereignty-the right of the
people of the territories, in preparing
constitutions for admission into the
Union as sovereign states, to determine
for themselves whether they should be
slave states of free. Mr.. Lincoln, al
though a hater Of slavery, was not an
Aboltionist. He had a profound rev.
erence for the Constitution upon which
the Union was founded, which recog-
nized slavery as local institution, but
he was firm and unyielding in his op-
position to its extension. Thus they
stood before the people of Illinois, the
acknowledged representatives of their
respective parties-one the advocate
of the naturalization of slavery; the
other the advocate of freedom for all
and everywhere, except in those states
in which slavery had a constitutional
existence. Neither was an extremist !;
neither was the exponent of ultra doc
trines on either side. Mr.. Lincoln did
not go far enough, in merely opposing
the extension of slavery, to satisfy the
Aboltionists of the North. Mr.. Doug
las, who was neither an advocate nor
an opponent of slavery, did not so far
enough to satisfy the pro slavery lead
ers of the South.
The Cecil Whig., 1885-06-20
SENATOR DOUGLAS ADVANTAGE.

At the beginning OF the debate tie
advantages seemed to be on the side Of
Mr. Douglas. The anti i-slavery senti-
ment had not taken root in Illinois
Washed by the Ohio on the South and
the Wabash on the West, by which the
largest part of her surplus productions
were sent to the Southern markets, her
pecuniary interests bound her to the
South. From her earliest settlement
the slave owners had been her best
almost her only reliable, customers
Nor was this all. Illinois had been
largely settled by immigrants from the
slave states, SO that she was connected
with the South by social as we'll as pc
cuniary ties. For more than half q
century the Union had existed and
rapidly grown in wealth and population
part slave and part free. Why might
it not remain SO and still continue tc
thrive and prosper? Besides, there was
something captivating in the doctrine
of popular sovereignty-the right o.
the people to govern themselves ac-
cording to their own good pleasure.
Nor were these the only advantages
possessed by Mr.. Douglas. He was
one of the ablest debaters in the coun-
try. To an almost unlimited command
of language were added adacity ant
tact, which made him formidable op-
ponent in the United States Senate
filled as the Senate then was, with yer,
able and accomplished men. Upor
the stump he had no equal. His voice
was sonorous and flexible. Thorough,
versed in the political history of tht
country, bold, dashing, self confden
and selfposSessed,- was one whom
very few men would have dared to en-,
counter in a public debate.
All this Mr.. Lincoln perfectly under
stood, but he knew himself and he wa:
thoroughly convinced of the justice 0
his cause. He carried his conscience
with him into the discussion. He made
no statement which he did not believ,
to be true, took no position which h,

THE JOINT DEBATE.

While, therefore, neither of them
came up TO the high standard of either
Abolitionists, on the one hand, or pro-
slavery men on the other. the differ
ence between them was decided and
irreconcilable and, in order that the
difference might be fairly and thor
oughly discussed before the same aud
fences, MIR. Lincoln invited Mr.. Doug
las to meet him in a joint debate in
some of the most populous counties OF
the state. The invitation was promptly
accepted. The debate began on the
2Gst of August and closed on the 18th
of October. They spoke in the open
air, and their speeches were listened to
with the deepest interest by the many
thousands who thronged to hear them
They were fully and carefully reported
and were published in the leading jour
nalS North ana SOuth.
No speeches ever made in the United
States commanded SO great attention,
or made so deep an impression upon
the public mind. 1t was, indeed, the
opening CT the "irrepressible conflict
which Mr.. Seward had predicted.
Mr.. Lincoln, in speech which he
made a short time before, had avowed
the sentiment that the United States
could not permanently continue to be
"part slave and part free" that free,
dom or slavery, sooner or later, must
become dominant in all the states that
slavery was local that there was nc
warrant under the Constitution for its
extension, and that its extension could
rightfully be prevented by Congress
On. the contrary, Mr.. Douglas was
committed to the doctrine that slavery
was nationalized by the Constitution
that Congress had no authority to pre-
vent its introduction to the territories.
