One of the cities in Michigan that is en-
joying good steady growth is Hastings.
Several new manufacturing industries have
located there within year and all seem to
be doing prosperous business. The city
has given liberal bonuses to factories, result
ing in material prosperity to every property
owner. The citizens are largely indebted
to the Hastings Banner for this state of
of affairs. In season and out the editor of
the Banner-M. l.. Cook-has urged the
giving of bonuses and the securing of fac
tories as q means of enhancing the value of
property and increasing the population Of
Hastings. His time and money have been
freely given and now the town is on the
highway to prosperity. BY the way, the
Banner ranks as one of the leaders in the
newspaper field. Its utterances on all
questions are fearless and for the right. The
Banner leads in all that goes to make up a
frst-class family paper.
If Carl Schurz's remarkable article on
abraham Lincoln" is the first thing to
which the reader naturally turns in the June
Atlantic, it is not alone because it occupies
the first pages of the number 1t is fitting
30 give so interesting survey Of LincOln's
life and work the place of honor, and we
think of no magazine article which has APP
peared for a long time which will command
such attention, not only from its subject,
but from the fact of its being written 10y Mr..
Schurz. 1t is review of the Life of Abra-
ham Lincoln, by NicOlay and Hay; and.t
result of their survey, which in the Life"
extends thaOugh ten volumes, is reduced by
Mr.. Schurz to about thirty pages of COM
pact and interesting narrative, with sum-
ming up of Lincoln's place as a statesman
and the work which he did in conducting
the government safely through the perls of
the Civil War. One of the concluding para
graphs is worth quoting: "A few days after
the fall of Richmond" says Mr.. Schurz,
S'Lincoln pointed out to friend the crowd
of ofiice-seekers besieging his door, Look at
that said he, now we have conquered the
rebellion, but here you see something that
may become more dangerous to this re-
public than the rebellion ITSELF" And the
concluding paragraph of the paper will
always live as a most brilliant and striking
characterization of Abraham Lincoln.
