Liquor Dealers Alarmed.

DAVENPORT, Ia, Feb. 1f.-There is
alarm among the nearly two hundred
saloonkeepers of Davenport such as has
not been known since it was first learned
that the prohibition amendment was
adopted. The first permanent injunc-
tions for the closing of saloons ever
granted in Scott county were decreed
Saturday by Judge Waterman. BY
these DEGREES five saloons in Princeton,
Big Rock and Gilbert, neighboring
towns, are closed. The sale of 4 glass of
beer will cause the contiscation of their
property and their own incarceration in
the pe%nitentiary. The DEGREES Were
granted by stipulation, as the defend
ants admitted that the testimony OF the
plaintiffs was correct. The plaintiffs in
four of the five cases are wonen

confidently predicts every state in the

the next presidential election. Address
that argument to towards and knaves;

great volcano at Washington, aroused
and directed by the evil spirit that reigns
there, is belching forth the lava, of polit-
ical corruption in q current broad and

velocity over the length and breadth of
the land, bidding fair to leave unscathed
no green spot or living thing; while on

to resist its destroying course with the
hopelessness of their Efforts; and knowing
this, l cannot deny that all may be swept

BY comparing this with the speeches
of Mr.. Lincoln'B last year the reader will
find abundant proof of the fact so often
stated that intellectually he never ceased
to grow. The speech is on the very
verge of absurdity. One more flower of
southwestern rhetoric would have passed
it over to the class best known by the
alleged speeches of Davy Crockett and
the Preacher Of Hepsidam." Yet this
sort Of oratory may still be heard in
some sections.

The sunday Question.


CINCINNATI, Feb. IL. = The Sunday
question is now to the. front as a dis
turbing element in the workingman's
organizations. 1t has been customary
heretofore for the w~orkingmen to hold
their great mass meetings on Sunday,
and not a protest that could make itself
heard has ever been entered against it.
A day or two ago the Central Labor
union, which is a sort of upper house of
the trades unions, appointed Sunday,
Feb. "a, for a mass meeting in favor of
the eight hour law, instead of Feb. %,
the day first chosen. The cutlery against
this is so great that a mass meeting of
trades rnionists to protest against Sun
day meetings in general, and this meet
ing in particular, has been called for
next Saturday. 1t is said that the work
ingmen are nearly equally divided on
this question.

THE RAIL CAMPAIGN.
Abraham, Lincoln Did Split Rails. but No

Long.
All old voters remember the prominent
part the Lincoln rails" played in the
campaign of 1860. Mr.. Lincoln was rep
resented in one ~earicat1ire in the act of
charging at his opponents with a rail, in
another as hammering with q maui
upon a very knotty l.cut" labeled to rep
resent the Democracy of that day. and
in many other attitudes. OF course, the
other party sought to turn ali this into
ridicule and boldly denied that Lincoln
ever split rails. This period of his life is
eloquently sketched by the Hon. Leonard
SWEET:
When he thus left Indiana he had been
to school in u log school house but six
weeks, and this period constitutes hi, en-.
tire education received at school. Hav-
ing arrived here In August, they erected

LINCOLN'S ORATOR:Y.
"soPHoMoRtcAL' STAGE OF
PUBLIC SPEAKING IN THE WEST.

1t Is Perhaps Quito as Well That the
Earliest Speeches of Lincoln Were Not
Preseryed-A Sample Speech by .UncIe
Abe."
OF Abraham Lincoln's a~cuteness as an
lawyer many amusing and some pathetic
stories are told; but the remarkable
change in the style of his speeches be-
tween 1910 and 1855 has not been well
understood in the eastern states. As a
forensic orator his life presents three
very distinct phases: First, the time
when he spoke hesitatingly and with
abrupt changes from one point to another
the common style of the unframed
speaker; second, having acquired conf
dence, he changed rather suddenly to
that forid and perfervid style then COM
mon in the west, but now heard only
on tho burlesque stage; and, finally,
after forming his partnership with the
eminent Judge Stephen T. Logan, he
studied his cases infinitely and began to
cultivate a terse style, the result being
manifest in that wonderful combination
Of strong Saxon words, directness of
statement and aptness of illustration, yet
glowing with the pure poetry of emo
ton, in which style Abraham Lincoln
surpassed all other men of his time.
The explanation of the second stage
of his progress is to be found in the
character of the people whom he ad-
dressed. Southern Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois were settled almost entirely by
people from the border slave states, and
as late as 1910 a yankee" was a rarity
in the interior counties. Among these
people oratory began with limitations of
Patrick Henry, was continued with iIni-
tations of Henry Clay, and tended rap
idly to subordinate logic to rhetoric, till
it reached a state of turgidity that was
simply ridiculous. Every phenomenon
of nature, every emotion of humanity,
all the acts of all the heroes of antiquity,
and all the battles in which tive licked
the British" were raw material, to be
wildly ranged in rampant periods by the
fervent speaker; flags and chains, de-
mons and angels, masks, racks, hatchets
and yipers danced through his speech in
may confusion, as he successfully re-
moved coat, vest, cravatand collar, till at
the close he crushed the Hessian's sword
and 'Injun's tommyhawk," the Blue
light Federalists" and Julius Caesar, with
as many local heroes and Scripture
phrases as he could remember, into an
awful peroration, and hurled it at his
admiring audience.
1t is just as well for Lincoln's fame
that of the many speeches he made while
in this forid season of oratorical pubes-

pres;dcn, lincoln.

NO American statesman ever passed
through such a season of mental agony
as did Abraham Lincoln in the four
months between his election and inaugu-
ration. Chaos but. family describes the
condition of public affairs. The true In
depreciation Of the national constitution
as to the power of the nation over a re-
cusant state had often been mooted, but
was now to be settled by the argu-
ment of last resort-battle. Constrained
by his position to maintain complete re-
serve, Lincoln had to think the matter
out in almost total mental solitude. 1t
was then that his c~ountenance took on
permanently that deep cast of melan-
choly which had before been only occa-
sionai, an appearance which caused an
eminent lady to remark:
n Lincoln had the saddest coun-
%tenance, in repose, i ever looked upon"
The last scene in which his old humor
reasserted itself is thus portrayed by the
southern historian, Edward A. Pollard:
"a vast c%oncourse of people assembled
at the presidents house to make the pop
ular congratulations to Mr.. Lincoln.
There was music, Nominations; the
ground was blaze with triumphallights;
and the vast crowd called impatiently
for n response from the president. 1t
was a grand historical occasion; one of
great thoughts and imposing circum-
stances; n of noble and memorable ut
t~erances. . The president of the United
States came forward and called for the
rebel song of Dixie He said: ! have
always thought that Dixie was one Of
the best songs l ever heard. Our adver-
saries w the way, / know, have at

The Atom.

The atom and it's notions as
physicists now understand them! are.
eloquently pictured by Dr.. Heinrich
Hensoldt. All substances are made
up of tiny particles which cannot be
further reduced in size with
out change of properties AND
breaking up into their component
atoms. These particles or groups of
atoms are melodies, and all matter
is trembling with their billions of;
vibrations per second In solids theA
molecules are arranged in a certain
fixed order, and their vibration is a
limited space; in liquids they move
about in all directions, yet none can
voluntarily separate themselyesfrom
the Others; while in gases they fly
about with marvellous rapiditv i'll all
directions. Every cubic inch of ali
contains no less than twenty-ont
trillions of molecules, and every
point on our skin is bombarded by
thousands of millions of them every
second. Each is so small that 3OOI
would not extend across the width
of the smallest line the most
powerful microscope shows us
Magnify the 1,O00,00O,OO0,OOO d.

our globe, each molecule is a plane

air bubble would have the dime y
