The Ex-Secretary of War to Resume the
Practice of Law in Chicago.

Practice OF Law IN Chicago.
WASHINGTON, June 23.--The departure Of ex-
Secretary Lncoln and family is the rebreaking
of link with the historic past. Their presence
has been peculiarly priced here, as being all that
was left to the world of Abraham Lincolns
blood. No children will ever be more beloved
in Washington by inherited right than are Mary,
Jack and little Jesse Lincoln, a blooming and
gentle hammered group, in years respectively
fifteen, twelve and ten Jack is Abraham right

should be sacred forever and only to her hus-
band. Not one of the three resembles the dead
President
Elk Secretary Lincoln returns to Chicago next
week TO resume the practice of law. and says he
has no particular expectation of ever again I'M
packing his trunk in Washington. He has re-
enperated much from the labors OF his Cabinet
desk, which left him but poorly.
In March he paid visit to General Grant in
New York, and the latter talked unanimously
with him about the old days, so that he retired
before the talk finished, fearing that the
General was exhausting his strength
The Lincoln family have lived handsomely but
quietly here at 1923 Massachusetts avenue Mrs
Lincons health continues very delicate. but in
spite of this drawback and of her double bereave-
ment, she has left a record of the conscientious
and amiaAe discharge of as many social duties
as be- circumstances permitted. Mary Harlan
Lincoln is of the names that will fill a
treasured niche in Washington annals.

Democracy in Missouri.

st. Louis Post Dispatch (Dem.)
The boast that Democracy in Missouri was
strong enough to elect Comanche Indian or a
yellow dog was wholly disproved by the narrow
majority at the last election. Democracy in
Missouri is on its trial, and the Marmaduke ad
ministration has only to repeat the mistake of
the Crittenden administration to be the last
Democratic administration in the State Should
the people Of Missouri become convinced that the
State government does not dare to cope with the
and justice, they will never elect another Demo
cratic State ticket. The test of this question
will come up in the proceedings at Jefferson City
this week The result of the session of the State
Board of Equalization will have an important in
fuence in the future of State politics.
