Senator John Sherman has written
Il letter to the New York Advertiser
in which he says: II am in favor Of
making the birthday OF Abraham Lin
coin national holiday. / believe the
sentiment OF the country, both North
and South, would justify such meas
nre. Lincoln was as much the savior
Of the country as Washington was the
founder" The State Legislature of
Minnesota has already followed that
Of Illinois in making this day a public
holiday, and with such men as Henry
WattersoL AMI General Gordon eulo-
giving Lincoln In the same way that
Senator Sherman does, it is only q
question of time when the whole ma.
ton will recognize Lincoln's birthday
as national holiday. And in this
connection the Legislature Of Illinois
should not forget that the whole
country looks to this State to- keep
Liucoln's- tomb as should he kept the
tomb Of the preserver of the country,
The Lincoln monument at Springfield
should be made as enduring us is the
Washington monument at the NationI
al Capital. and as will he the tomb OF
Grant in New York.
