Lincoln's Bravery.

Lincoln wasn't handsome, and Jet there
was nothing unpleasant, nothing you
wouldn't quickly like in Lincoln's looks.
He was swarthy as an Indian, with a shock
of wiry, jet black hair which fell in all di-
r~ections and defed combs and brushes 10
the death. His eyebrows carried out the
shaggy effect, while his bright, keen eyes
were gray. Liucolu's personal courage had
no limit. lie was afraid Of moth ING on
earth. He received, ! know, as many as
half n dozen letters every week threatening
assassination. He never needed them aud
seldom referred 20 them. lie went about
as freely a. Grover Cleveland does now. He
would yet into the saddle and canter out
TO the Soldiers home, six miles, and an
assassin could have picked him oil with u
rifle az every step Of the way. Lincoln
meyer appeared to have the slightest fear
Of it. Stanton used 90 get scared aud put
guards around Lincoln, but the latter only
laughed at it.-Senator Voorhees, in Kansas

A NATURAL INDIGNATION

The Indignation says a promln-
ent contemporary which found vent
in the harmless If not very praise
worthy performance of burning
Hoke Smith i'll efigy out in Ohio
the other day is 10th natural and
excusable. We may expect further
manifestations OF it.
In his intense desire to wreak the
revenge of the Contederates upon
the men who prevented the destruo-
ton of the Republic by the slave
holders OF the South, Secretary
Smith has been striking right and
left. When he took his office it
was with the understanding that
he should purge the pension rolls,
which, we were told, were cum
bered with the names OF deadbeats
and bummers. The most rigorous
examinations have failed to fl d
many OF this unworthy class and in
sheer desperation the names of
really merltorious pensioners have
been slashed from the roll till such
time as they shall once more bring
evidence that they are entitled to
pensions.
In the cases in question the two
pensioners were without any other
income than their pensions. They
were unable 10 earn their own sub.
sistence, and they were drag ging
out an existence on the beggarly
pittance received from the Govern
ment. This, Hoke Smith availed
himself of AID stopped. One Of his
victims was driven insane by the
dread of losing his pitiful income
and was taken to the county asylum
where as Mr. Cleveland once pointed
out in veto message, old soldiers
can find shelter instead seeking OF
relief at the hands of the Govern
ment they saved.
These are only two cases of the
kind, reported in one day. There
is reason to believe that there are
thousands of others equally cruel in
their details.
We have been repeatedly assured
by the Northern apologists for this
pension purging business, that no
really honest and deserving veteran
would be affected. We have ex-
pressed the fear that with Demo
Gratis to do the purging, they would
be. Developments 60 to prove that
we were right in assuming that the
Calhounists would use this excuse to
enable them to punish the men who
defeated the reasonable conspiracy
to destroy the Republic.

The general sympathy OF Mary
landers and the rest of mankind Will
be extended to the people OF Snow
Hill in view Of the terrible conhagra-
ton that has visited that prosperous
town. This visitation emphasizes
the prudence and good judgment
that has recently been shown in Elk
ton by providing a suitable water
sys tenn and steam fire appliance.
Not that this or any other town
equally we'll protected may not at
any time be subjected to the same
contingency, but the possibility OF
loss is materially lessened by such
| provision. The record of fire losses
on the Eastern Shore has been
amply suggestive to put every com
munity on the defensive. The day
of the old bucket brigade has past,
and as long as frame buildings rule IN
our Eastern Shore tuwEs and VII
lagos, some more adequate means
to fight the fire find become an
absolute necessity. Snow Hill will
Phoenix like arise from her ashes, but
the present calamity is full OF sug
gestion for the future, there, as vel
as elsewhere.

On the 23rd OF June 1892, at Chi

''Thelr is nothing SO sensitive as

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

President Cleveland on Tuesday sent
message to congress convened IN
extraordinary session, In which he asks
"that the provisions of the act passed
July IA, 1890, authorizing the purchase
of silver bullion be repealed as soon as
practicable, and that o.ber legislative
action may put beyond all doubt or
mistake the intention and the ability of
the government to fulfil its pecuniary
obligations in money universally recog-
nized by all civilized countries"
This is good Republican doctrine,
and formulates the opinion heretofore
expressed by General Harrison, and IS
undoubtedly what he would have said
had he instead of Mr.. Cleveland been
elected to the presidency. Ga this
question, whatever differences may
exist between him and republicans on
his so called hobby of tariff reform, MIR.
Cleveland is in substantial accord with
the teachings and practice Of the Re
publican party under all It's administra
tons from General Grant to General
Harrison. There is not line in his
message, so far as it discusses the
financial question, which Republicans
who remember the traditions and
policy of their own party in Its fight
against reputation and imitation and
Tor the restoration of specie payments
and for the maintenance Of an honest
parity between all the ccnntry's forms
OF currency cannot heartily endorse.
What Mr.. Cleveland has said is opposed
to the theories and practices of his own
party ever since the war. Even today
it is certain that it is in opposition to
the views of at least one halt of the
democrats of the country at large and
to three -fourths of them in the South
and West.
Nor Is the significant fact to be
overlooked, that MIR. Ceveland's utter
ances have been received favorably by
the Republican press of the country,
and that the bitterest denunciation of
his message comes from the silver
cranks of his own party.

THEY WANTED A CHANGE.

And now the very incendiaries
who went about with that flaming
torch and who are responsible for
the confagration have the colossal
cheel to charge "partisanship" on
the Press and other papers which
gave warning in advance against the
fire and which now that it has burst
forth souni the alarm and propose
right measures to put it out instead
of shutting their eyes and letting it
burn on! This is the whole truth in
a nutshell, We mean to be entirely
frank and fair.
We recognize that the prevailing
distrust is due partly to the fear OF a
debased currency growing out of the
silver purchases, and partly to the
fear of an industrial arrangement
growing out of the danger of tariff
changes. But on both points the
responsibility falls on our adver
saries. So far as the depression
comes from the threat OF tariff revo-
luton, there can be no dispute as to
the accountability.
So far as it comes from the fear of
sinking to the silver basis, the blame
falls entirely upon the same Shout
ders, for if the Administration had
kept up the gold reserve and had
acted instead of merely talking in
favor cf maintaining our currency on
a gold basis, the evils Of the silver
purchases would have been greatly
reduced.
Ifany people ought to be alarmed
at their own attitude" it is those
who have brought this crisis upon
the country. No wonder they stand
aghast at the consequences of their
own political crime, and are anxious
to shift their fault to other shoulders.
But they have made their bed and
must lie in it.
The fire is raging and it is pat
riotic duty to join hands in quench
ing the flames. But in doing so we
do not propose to let the incen
diaries crawl away from their res,
ponsility under the mask of being
the true firemen. Nor, when they
add fuel to the flames by false mea
sures of pretended relief, should
there be any hesitation in exposing
and calling them to account. And
we hope the Times will understand
this lesson without the need o.
amplihcation.-Phila. Press.

DEMOCRATIC Editors and orators
have recently had a great deal to
say about the patriotic duty of Re-
publicans to aid and sustain Presi,
dent Cleveland in an honest fnan-
cial policy. 1t seems proper time
to ask, how many Of them are now
ready and willing to join hands with
Governor Mckinley in relieving the
county of the blighting fear of free
trade policyi
That declaration OF his is timely !;
that it would be "the highest act of
patriotism if the Democracy would
make public proclamation that they
will not carry out their free trade
pledges"
