Abraham Lincoln,

Some opulent force of genius. soul and
race,
Some deep life current from far centu-
rieS
Flowed to his mind and lighted his sad
eyes,
And gave his name, among great names,
high place.
But these are miracles we may not trace
Nor say why from a source and lineage
mean
He rose TO grandeur never dreamt or
seen,
Or told on the long scroll Of history's
space.
The tragic fate OF one broad hemisphere
Fell on stern days to his supreme con-
troll,
All that the world and liberty held dear
Pressed like nightmare on his patient
soul
Martyr beloved, on whom, when life was
done,
Fame looked, and saw another Washing
ton.
Joel Benton, in the Independent.

favorable crops than were expected, which
Justify larger hopes for next fall, have
rested the upward tendency in prices OF
products. The renewal Of reports occasion
some discuiet but the gradual exhaustion
of goods in the hands OF dealers makes the
consumption of the people more distinctly
felt and apparently larger. and this demand
increases with the number OF hancs at
work. 1t cannot be said that uncertainty
as TO the future has materially diminished.
but there is an evidently growing impress
sion that there will be no important legisla-
ton on the currency or the tarif. This

New York Commercial Advertiser.
In his bold defense Of Colonel Breckin-
ridge the Blue Grass attorney, Colonel Phil
cause he had simply done what all other
men had done and had been found out.
This is a purely animal and Blue Grass
line Of defense. Ii is similar 10 the one
set up by the Evening Post for Grover
Cleveland when the Maria Halpin scandal
Was preached in 1884. Lawyer Thompson
will probably admit that as a Christian
and a professed statesman something more
was expected OF Mr.. Breckenridge than OF
a loosely-constructed, reckless, lrresponsi-
bic libertine OF the Kentucky stock-bresd-
ing pattern. Such a defense as he makes
can hardly do service to the aged ken

The Best Days Trade of the Week

on the wholesale streets yesterday mer-
chants pronounced trade being the best

Morning trains brought in a number of

Groceries ruled steady and no indication Of
an early advance. Dry goods houses were

prices nor concessions below what are
called low prices viii overcome. On Com

Heavy Increase i'm Strikes.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Bradstreets trade
review tomorrow will say: Western cities
usually report more favorable business
features At Chicago the rush OF spring
trade is over although orders for dry
goods hold out well. notably for cotton
dress goods and light silks. Trade in shoes
and hardware is decreased. Unfavorable
weather has restricted sales Of millinery,
dry goods, clothing, carpets and drugs ar
st. Louis, but manufacturers OF shoes re-
port trade as active as previously. Bus
mess at Kansas City appears quite irreg7I-
lar, and at Duluth II is disappointing, job
bers in some instances refusing 10 NIL or
ders. But improving weather at St Paul
is reflected in better and more frequent or
ders for dry goods, clothing, millinery and
hardware, and manufacturers os implements
and of Irvine are increasing their forces.
while jobbers generally report collections
improved AT Minneapolis greater activity
is reported in flour and in lumber. and at
Omaha business is on a broader basis than
during March, hardware and lumber being
conspicuously more active Prices OF wheat,
iron, steel, cattle, corn and cotton are all
lower, the extreme drop in wheat being
occasioned by extraordinarily heavy real
izing, based in part on the government re-
port that the wheat crop is less damaged
by the recent cold weather than reported
Prices of iron West and East have been
further scaled, due to cutting OF railway
rates and competition between furnaces al
though there are advices from Pittsburg OF
vanced &c pork soc, lard &c, while sugar
and print cloths remain unchanged. The
industrial situation is more complicated and
less encouraging.
There is a prospect of a widespread strike
of coal miners and others this month, with
a probability OF further strikes and lock-
outs at larger cities early in May. There
fifty-siX strikes now in FORCE throughout
the country, involving about 5000 people.
Gross railway earnings OF 121 companies
during March show increases in only twen-
~ instances over March. 1893. March earn
ings are S1,s9.4 Az nearly ID per
cent Tess tnan last year.- Tor three
months earnings are nearly $104, IS, 625,
a falling of-or 124 per cent. from
last year. Bank clearings show an
other smaller total, $S90,769, 600 for the week.
compared with s94S000.00o last week, and
with $l,215, 100000 in the second week OF
April, 1893. Available wheat stocks in the
United States and Canada afioat for and I'm
Europe have decreased less than antici-
pated, owing to the increase in European
available stocks where decrease is ex-
pected. Wheat-Exports both coasts, flour
included, aggregate 1995.O00 bu this weela
against 2,77S.000 bu the week before. 2.94S-
600 bu in the week last year, 100000 bu In
the week two years ago, and 2.456,O00 bu In
the second week OF April, 1891.
