-4BRAHAIH LINCOLN.

Today is the eighty-fifth anniver- sary of the birth of Abraham Lin coin, and the event will be cele- brated in many of the leading cities throughout the United States to- night.
 Of all the great men who have achieved fame or greatness through out the world in this century of preat men, Abraham Lincoln was the greatest. History does not afford a parallel to the remarkable career of this remarkable man. True, history furnishes many ex- amples of men who have risen from obscurity and poverty to the dizzy heights of dazzling greatness in all the avenues of achievement, but we can scan the pages of history in vain, either ancient or modern, to find man whose origin was so humble, opportunities so limited, advantages so meager, education so neglected and obstacles so seemingly insurmonntable as those that char acterized the life of Lincoln He came of poor, humble, illiterate and backwoods parents; his childhood days Were spent as were the days of the children of all pioneers in an unsettled country. and until the age of B ''the ax was seldom out of his hands, except in the intervals Of labor, or when it was exchanged for the blow, the hoe or the sickle. ? One evening it so hapened that a prominent politician addressed an audience of electors in Macon county, Illinois, at which Lincoln, with a number of his humble com rades, were present. The speaker of the evening, after the conclusion of his speech, in violation of an honored custom, failed to ask his hearers to drink something. At this the sovereigns became offended and called on Lincoln to reply, and to the surprise of the auditors he delivered a practical speech on the political issues of the day which was pronounced the speech of the occasion This mere incident in baekwoods community was the be- ginning of Lincolns $ political career His determination to become q great man was due to the fact, so Lincoln said, that he had talked with men regarded as great, and he did not see where they differed so much from others. He reasoned that the secret of their success lay in the fact of original capacity and untiring in dustry, and correctly concluded that by close application to study, why could he not achieve as much2 From that hour Lincoln became a student, and perused such books as he could borrow with such assiduity that his honest neighbors began te wonder if he could be altogether in his right mind
 It is strange to reflect at times what small inciden1 determine the career of men and direct the affairs

ONE Of the questions that should be agitated by candidates for the Legislature in the coming campaign is the question of a new Constitu- tion. The present State Constitu- tion is ill adapted to our present needs and requirements. The con ditions under which it was made and the wrongs which it was intended to correct have wholly passed away, and there is no further cause for it's continuance. We need a broad and expanded constitution; one that will enlarge the powers of municipal corporations and allow an exemption from taxation for all new factories and enterprises of that character for period of years. We should have a constitution adapted to the age we live in and one that will not hamper or retard the progress and development of our State
