Yesterday was Ash Wednesday,
the commencement Of the Lenten
season, which will continue forty
days, Sundays not included, and
will terminate with the ringing
out Of the bells on Easter morn
ing. II is intended to commemo-
rate the last days of the "Man of
Sorrow" upon earth; the agony and
bloody sweat, the cross and pas
sion, the crucifixion, death and
burial, as Easter morning COM
memorates the resurrection, and
Ascension day, the ascension. In
these forty days lie all there is Of
our Christian religion. If their
history is not true, the whole fab
ric falls to the ground. If Christ
was not cruci6ed, not buried and
did not rise again on the third day,
then Mahomet was as much the
prophet of God as Christ his sU".
But almost the entire civilized
world believes the story of the
crucifxion, the death, the burial
and the resurrection. 1t has come
down to us through the ages, by
the medium Of the sacred scrip
lures. Generations upon genera
tions of men, women and children
have gone to the grave with that
simple story of the child cradled
in the holy manger of ancient
Bethlehem as the sheet anchor of
their hopes for eternity. For
over eighteen hundred years the
world has hung to the strange mar
rative Of him who "went about
doing good" and who came upon
the earth "to minister, not to be
ministered unto" We have been
a very poor protestant all our life,
weak, stammering and struggling
christian at best, but for the be-
lief in the story of Gethsenane, the
cross and the resurrection morning
the world would seem a great deal
darker than it does.

LINcoLN's ANCESTRY.
A Distinguished Grandfather-Ancient Seat
of the Family.

OF the family.
Some members of the Lincoln family
lately visited Reading, Pa, to look up
the ancestry OF Abraham Lincoln, and
the ancient seat of the family, which is
in Exeter township, about four miles
from that city. 1t was built by Morde-
cal and Mary Lincoln prior TO 1886, and
in IL that year was born Abraham Lin
coin, who was the grandfather of
Abraham Lincoln, president Of the
United States. The elder Abraham
Lincoln was a prominent man in the
affairs OF the county in his day. Prior
TO the revolution he served as a county
commissioner for n number of terms,
and during the revolution, on March
21, 1777, he was appointed one of the
sub-lieutenants of the county. In that
office he was very active in the raising
of troops and in the forwarding of sup
plies TO the Continental army, and was
frequently complimented from head
quarters for his zeal and ability. From
1889 TO 1856 he was a delegate TO the
Pennsylvania convention to ratify the
federal constitution. lie was also a
member of the constitutional conven-
tion Of 1859 and 1890, which confirmed
the original constitution of the com
monwealth. lie and his family were
large land proprietors in Exeter and
vicinity, were the owners of several
mills along the ohlinger creek, and
were the first people in this county to
utilize the flow Of the streams for irri-
cation during dry seasons, the irrigat-
ing bitches on their farm being still
visible, although, owing to the diver
sion Of the water 70 other purposes, It
is no longer used.
Farmer Lincoln's signature is found
affixed 10 many Of the deeds and public
documents in the archives OF the
county. The family have almost en-
tirely disappeared from this county,
there being but one direct descendant
of the name, John Lincoln, who, unfor-
tunately, for many years has been an
inmate of the Berks county almshouse.
Another descendant of the family is
Mrs. Jacobs, the wife of J. Howard Ja-
cobs, the well-hnown lawyer of Read.

THE SITUATION.

The attitude of the country and
the railroads is tersely stated in the
appended extract from an editorial
letter from Topeka, where the
Kansas Legislature is now in ses-
sion, to the Ell Dorado Republican,
touching the subject of railroad
legislation. The writer is prob
ably better informed on the sub
ject than any man in his state and
has for many years been in a po-
sition to look at the question from
both sides, and much of the time
has been a member of the senate.
Here is the extract:
Kansas railways are a part and
parcel of this state. They put up
their money, built thousands of
miles of non-paying lines, mort
gagged these lines to get more
money to build more non.paying
lines, watered their stock, had their
booms, and went into bankruptcy
Just as tens of thousands of Kan
sas people did.
Today there is not a mile of rail-
way in Kansas that is paying op-
Grating expenses and interest on
the actual cost of the road.
But they are here and will re-
main here for all time, and their
owners. like the owners Of other
property in the state, are trying to
pull out of their financial troubles.

FROM various parts Of the nation
comes the report that citizens are
protecting the property Of intrud-
ers in different ways, so as to
make it practically out of the ques-
tion for the nation to ever realize
anything out of those places that
have been appraised. There are
manyplaces being quietly absorbed
by citizens widening out theiriences
so as to include the improvements
made by the intruders. Just what
course the authorities will pursue
in this matter il is difficult TO
opine, but that something should
be done is very clear. Under
the strip agreement these improve
ments will have TO be paid for out
Of the common funds Of the nation,
and should be disposed of in a
manner that would at least pro-
tecl the public treasury. Our cit
liens have an equal interest in
this property after II is appraised
and paid for, and no private cit
izen should be allowed to take
possession Of that which belongs
10 all alike. Under tho recent en-
aciment Of congress there will be
no removals of intruders this year,
but they will be required to pay
rent II the appraisement money is
lendered them.

THE federal grand jury at Fort
Smith, in their report last week,
lugged in protest against taking
territory jurisdiction away from
Parker's court. This is probably
the most far-fetched and unreas-
enable effort on the part of Fort
Smith yet made. The privilege
of sitting on the federal jury is re-
garded by the average Arkansaw-
yer as a sinecure, but their super
iority over juries that could be had
in the territory sounds altogether
too"fishy"to be believed. Verify,
Judge Parker and Fort Smith are
in a great strait, and evidently
unhappy.
