Not Original With Wilson.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In letter to The Star of September IA,
headed mot Lincoln's Own Words" a cor
respondent points out that the words gov
eminent Of the people, by the people, for
the people," in the famous Gettysburg ad-
dress. were not original with Lincoln. He
attempts to further show that they were
original with Henry Wilson, and were
quoted by Lincoln from letter written in
1860 by Wilson to certain persons in Bos-
ton.
In speech delivered at the New England
anti-slavery convention, Boston, May %,
1850, by Theodore Parker. may be found
the expression "a government of all the
people by all the people, for all the people,"
the exact language, with the exception of
one word, of that ascribed to Wilson and
employed by Lincoln. But still further
back had the same idea been expressed in
substantially the same way by Daniel Web
ster in one of his most splendid oratorical
efforts, whose every phrase was familiar
to all patriotic Americans long before Par
ker uttered his speech or Wilson wrote his
letter. In his second speech on Foot's reso-
luton, January &c. 1870, Webster used these
words: THE peoples government made for
the people, made by the people, and answer
able to the people,
The phrase discussed belongs no more to
w nSon than TO Lincoln. The W ordS can no
more be said to have been quoted" by
Lincoln from Wilson than from Parker or
Webster. Lincoln was familiar with the
writings and speeches of Parker; he had
probably never seen this particular letter
of Wilson's. That his language should be
exactly the same as that of the latter was
a coincidence, but probably nothing more.
The phrase was merely the expression in
the simplest, most direct language, of the
glorious yet popular and familiar idea of
the Constitution and object of our form of
government. The expression cannot be as
cribed to any one man. Lincoln does not
give the statement as a positive declara-
tomas a new coined phrase intended to
add to his laurels as a public speaker but
uses the words as descriptive of our gov
eminent in uttering the resolve that it
shall not perish from the earth"
That some words of the speech had been
said before does not detract from the
beauty or grandeur of Lincoln's address as
a whole His speech, which has been de-
clared to be the greatest in the records of
oratory of our own or any other country,
was sc not because it was the labored and
polished effort of practiced orator, but be-
cause of the greatness of the man, as
man, who uttered it.

EXCURSIONS.

The Manchester will make her regular trip
to Indian Head and Marshall Hall Thursday
and Friday evenings. No Saturday trip
however, will be made, SO that those who de-
sire to take one more delightful ride on the
river will be obliged to make trip this week
or next. as the end of the season is closer at
hand than many imagine. Everything is in
perfect running order at Marshall Hall, how
ever, and the dancing al this time of the year
proves to be most delightful way of pass
ing an evening. The cool breezes that sweep
across the river make life worth living to the
hot and tired dancer who goes out to get
breath Of fresh air after each dance The
music is just the same, and every care is TAX
en- of the patrons.
The second of the series of cut-rate fall ex-
cursions was given last Saturday night to
Norfolk on the steamer City of Richmond.
The delightful experience of the former
week was repeated. The weather just at
this time is ideal for this trip, and the person
who once goes will most assuredly go again.
The boat arrived in Washington Monday
morning at 6:45 o'clock. The third excursion
will be made on Saturday September p, and
the steamer will leave foot of 9th street at 6
o'clock pm.

Used Him Up.

One of the first to line up before Judge
Kmball in the Police Court this morning
for trial was a well-appearing white man
by the name of Arthur Pendleton, who was
charged with assault upon Joseph Gordon.
The affair occurred last evening on the
Mayhem farm, near the Soldiers Home.
According to the evidence in the case,
Pendleton was sitting on the front porch
when Gordon came along very much under
the influence of liquor. Without any prov
ocarion he went up to Pendleton and vol
untsered the statement that he was going
to do murder right then and there. He
went into the house and get an old-fash-
Toned shot gun and started to load it ready
for action. At first Pendleton thought the
man was Joking, but the affair soon passed
out of the realms of humor.
Then Pendleton went for that man In
approved style If he had only used some
moderation about it 1t would have been
all right, but instead of that, he pounded
Gordon until there was very little left Of
him, and what there was had to be taken
to the hospital to be bound up. The result
was that when the story came out in the
Police Court Judge Kimball imposed q
fine Of $50 on Pendleton.

The Evils OF Tea and Coffee Drinking
have become apparent throughout the civil
lied countries. The medical profession has
thrown its weight of authority against the
practice, and frequently referred to the
baneful results occasioned by the free use
of these articles as beverage. Every con-
81 mer should realize that coffee is not an
alimert but a medicament, possessing a
powerful active principle or alkaloid known
as "caffein," which produces serious de-
rangements of the digestive organs and
the nervous system.

suffering from indigestion, insomnia and
general debility should try the great hy-
