LINCOLN.

Immortal Lincoln! brave and grand;
a giant mind beyond ali peers;
A beacon light that blessed the land;
The nobiest man Of all the years,
Whose heart was thrilled by hopes, no
fears,
And patriots shed for him true tears.
From humble walks he took his way
With grief and care was forced TO plod;
In natures haunts be stopped 10 pray,
Or paths OF thorns his tired feet trod;
Losunder many a cruel rod
He bore his burden to his God
peoples king; he reigned alone
monarch of great sense and might,
Who occupied lofty throne
And raisedc his tsoepter for the right,
Defending freedom Gay and night
Pure as stars in arctic night.
The roar of sad frpterDal war
Rolled onward with its Geadly wave,
And left a memory and a scar
To fire the blood and steel the brave,
Who died to free the serf and slave,
Then sunk into their bloody grave.
For charity good Lincoln wrought,
A champion of the peoples cause;
His truth and love were never bought,
His MANHOOD showed nor flecks nor
flaws
subiimeiy simple; great, because
He honored ali Kind, human laws.
While ages ron from pole to pole;
White ocean Diiiows bound on high;
While God is oentered in the soul;
While faith from true hearts cannot fly;
His name shall live and never die
A planet in the star-Ht skyi
And o. er his dust with tears we'll strew
The sweetest flowers that deck the spring;
And bless the .'boys" that wore the
'.blue'
And followed this great uncrowned king.
Let all true hearts his praises singi
Let all the land with salvos ringi
Let's rear pyramid Of stone
To mark tie SPOT where sleeps his clayl
We claim our Lincoln as our own
The idol of all hearts todayi
A mountain crag-rough, grand, and
gray.
Whose memory shall not pass away.

Yesterday The Times printed 44,03S
newspapers which were sold and delivered
10 bsua ride purchasers as the result OF a
legitimate growth. This extraordinary
issue was not sweIled by any unusual de
Baand, but was called for in the ordinary
way and supplied TO regular patrons. Such

other Washington dailies demonstrates
which is the really popular paper, and it is
doubtful if The bona fide sales Of all the

large amount.

The grecnback farce made a little com
motion in New York yesterday. when the
gold brokers became too assertiye in their
efforts TO use tie gold reserve to supply

Greenbacks at the subtreasury for god.
bat he did not like the idea of deposituug
it in the same room, only at a different
window, in payment for bonds.
This method of piundering the Treas
ury of its gold reserve is no
more culpabIe than that employed by
foreign gold brokers, who ship Treasury
gold across the water to force boEd sale,
and then return the god in its original
packages in payment for bonds. Both sys-
TENS are outrageous and both are mGde
possible through our ''endless chain" policy
of redeening greenbacks.

The Free Dispensary Question.

The suggestion Of the health officer that
a fee system beoperated in connection with
the management of free dispensaries does
not commend itself as calculated to work
for the best interests of either the dispen-
saries or thuse who as rule patronize
them. The inevitable result would be class
distinctions and the essential features OF
free dispensary would be destroyed. 1t is
human nature to be more considerate Of
those who pay for services rendered them
than TO thUse Others to whom they must be
given free of charge. In this one fact lies
the objection to DR.. Woodward's PROPOSE
tion.
Il is the purpose of free dispensaries to at
tract all persons who may stand in need of
medical or surgical aid, or OF a dose OF
medicine, and whohave notthe wherewittal
TO compensate doctor or druggist. All
these must feel that they stand Oh the same
level and that the ability OF the one to pay
a trifle Will not ensure him prompter or
more thorough attention than 10 the other
who has not cent with which to bless
himself. Toput in practice Dr.. Woodward's
proposition could not fail in creating class
distinctions altogether obnoxious TO the

Presidents greenback redemption system
the Treasury VIII really be made to cash
its own bonds to that amount. Nowhere
in history has Il government ever before
been known to commit itself to such an
asinine financial policy, and if there Is no
other way to maintain our national credit
than to play into the hands OF god gamblers,
as the administration is now doing. it
would be better for the country to go to
hades on a silver basis than to continue
our eod-greenback, ruination-redemption
policy.
1t is evident that unless Congress can re-
cover from its paralytic stroke and fiEd a
way to stop indefinite greenback redemp-
ton, that another bond issue will be neces-
sary before the end of the year. By that
time the public VIII have gone on record

come deaf us well as blind to the situation,

established. OF course, there need be no
objection to anyone smakng acontributiou,
however slighto or however large, for services
rendered him provided il be understood that
such donation shall not inure TO the use
or benefit of the dispensary, but to some
charitable institution where people still
poorer than the donor are provided for.
The opinion of physicians connected with
the Emergency hospital and dspensary are
decidedly adverse TO DR.. Woodward's plan.
They all agree that it would give rise to
abuses and that it would be entirely SUBJ
yersiye of the purposes which underlie the
creation of emergency and other dispen-
saries. While they fully appreciate that
many persons take advantage of the free
system who are quite able To pay for the
services of a physician and a druggist yet
they feel that to separate the sheep from the
goats would not be practicable in this in
stance. Altogether, the general sentiment
is to leave we'll enough alone and to let the
free dispensary system work out its own

proposed in entirely good faith by cur

THERE is dcbatable question which

HERE is debatable question which
must sooner or later be officially de-
termned by the proper authorities of
the House, and that Is as to the limit
OF age which win exclude the sons OF mem
bers from the privileges OF the floor.
1t has been customary in modern times
to allow congressman to have their young
hopefuls with them mduring regular sessions,
whether the motive was simply TO crafty
their curiosity or teach them the rudiments
OF political ethics. Champ Clark, in the
last Congress, more often had his eight
ycar-oid boy with him than otherwise. Mr..
Haley at times has his six-year-oId boy
with him. Recently other members have
somewhat raised the limit, and youths OF
twelve and fourteen have been seen upon the
floor when the House was in session, rely
ing upon their parental Influence to save
them from eJeetment by the doorkeepers.
As Il matter of fact. under the rules, an
infant OF one year can only be permitted
upon the floor by sufferance which consti-
tutes a technical violation of the rules.
The question of courtesy is being put TO
sore straits, and is is evident that instrtIc-
tons will soon of necessity be issued re-
strtcting the privileges of the floor TO those
specified by law as being entitled TO them.
