Speaking Of Lincoln's birthday"
said Senator Palmer yesterday. re
minds me that the very last case Lin
coin ever tried was one in which i too
was engaged. 1t was In Springfield, in
June. 1860, after Mr.. Lincoln had re-
ceived the presidential nomination.
Old David Baker, who had been SEN
ator i'm the early days. had sued the
trustees of Shurtleff college. my alma
mater. for eXpelling his grandson. II
lad named WIN Gilbert MIR. Lincoln
appeared for the prosecution. was
the college attorney. Mr.. Lincoln came
into court and the judge said to him.
Mr.. Lincoln, I'll argue this case for
you. You have too much on your
hands already. You haven't any case.
And he explained the law and applica-
ton.
"'Well,' said Mr.. Lincoln, with a
smile. don't you want to hear a
speech from me?'
NO said the judge, and the last
case Mr.. Lincoln tried newell, he
didn't try 1t at all"
Lincoln was not an eloquent man.
He was a strong lawyer, and an IN
genious one. His strong hold was his
ability to reason logically and clearly.
He was a very self-contained man. and
not easily excited. l remember the
night when the news of his election
was received In Springfield. The pa
triotic ladies of the town We're serving
lunch In an upper room opposite the
capitol. Mr.. Lincoln was there and
read the returns as they were brought
to him. The returns from New York
decided the day. Mr.. Lincoln stood
upand read the telegram. He was the
calmest man in tho room. When he
had finished, he said, simply, Well. l
must go and tell my wife,"
"Mr. Lincoln never told story ex-
cept for u purpose. i remember one
that he told in my presence. A GER
tain Judge Krum, q lawyer. had been
complaining of the treatment he had
received from local judges. He swore
he meant to carry his case to the su-
preme court and humiliate the upstart
Judge who had decided against him.
Mr. Lincoln spoke In his quiet, dry
way:
THAT makes me think of a story.
There was a certain man who dreamed
that a treasure was buried, and that to
find it he had but to dig in a certain
spot. His labOrs were to be crowned
with success only on condition that he
keep silent while he was digging. He
began to dig. A terrific battle was
waged near him. A naval encounter
was fought near by. Innumerable
people tried to engage him in conver-
sation. Still he kept silent. A great
giant passed. walking very rapidly.
The digger did not even turn his head.
After q while a dwarf came prancing
along, walking as IL he were nine feet
high.
"'"Say." he said to the digger. did
q giant pass here?"
1.-The digger did not answer. The
dwarf repeated his inquiry. No an

"'"Oh, well," said the dwarf, TN

""Then the digger broke his islence.

DEMOCRACY'S SILVER RECORD.

Looking to the votes in congress to lind
sue it is easy to prove that the party is
thoroughly committed to free coinage.
Senator Cockrell, who, according to the
dictum of the sound money organs, is not
much of Democrat, took the trouble to
look up the record some months ago, and
gave out the results of his research. In
the 44th congress he found 110 Democrats
voting for and only Is against free
coinage bill. Another test vote In the
same congress showed 1913 Democrats for
and II against a free coinage proposition.
In the 45th congress 81 Democratic rep
resentatiyes voted for the Bland free
coinage bill and 10 against 1t. 1t was In
that congress that Stanley Matthews
Republican senator from Ohio, introduced
resolution declaring that "all United
States bonds issued under the refunding
and redemption acts of July IA, 1870, and
January IA, 1875, respectively, could be
paid at the option of the government in
standard silver dollars of 412l2 grains
without violation of public faith or
in derogation of the rights of public
creditors
Senator Cockrell cites the record to
show that, in the senate, 23 Democrats
voted for and against the resolution,
wh;,o in the other end of the capitol, in
the body elected by the people, 116 Dem
ocrats voted 'aye" and % "no." In the
ne t, the 46th congress, the Missouri sen,
ator shows that 100 Democratic members
, of the house voted for free coinage and
against it; lO7 Democrats voted for
resolution directing the secretary OF the
treasury to pay out standard silver dol
lars, just as he did gold dollars, in pay
ment of all the governments ''coin" obli
cations.
In the 49th congress a majority of the
Democratic representatives voted for free
coinage, and in the 51st congress "a
Democratic senators and 113 Democratic
representatives voted for the Plumb free
coinage bill; Democratic senators and
% Democratic representatives voted
against it.
! In the SD congress there were 1873 free
f silver Democrats and but 70 on the Other
: side.
. Senator Cockrell asserts that his sum
= mary of the record of the Dep ocratic con
o gressmen shows clearly that they have
used their best efforts to restore bimetal
y lism, and have, by decisive majorties
a voted for the free and unlimited coinage
y of the standard dollar, upon equal terms
d with gold, every time it was presented il
;. all these congresses, except only in thu
last, when it was proposed as an amend
Q ment to the bill for the repeal of thu
10 Sherman law.
a in view of these established facts i
0 is absurd to question the genuineness o
the Democracy of the free silver con
., tingent of the party.

PRESS COMMENT.
The Imp's Fangs.

the quicker they get him the better for
the Republican party. The one-idea fell

Thus does the goldbug imp exhibit its

The A. Il II. Sale.

The Atlantic & Pacific railroad will be
sold on the 9Th of next July, and it is the
intention of the Atchison, Topeka & San
ia Fe to bid all that it thinks the road is
worth. There has been some talk about
an attempt on the part of Huntington,
of the Southern Pacific, to secure the At
lantlc & Pacific, but if he does so he will
have to bid against the Santa Fe with the
assurance also that the latter will con-
struct another line in the event that it
fails to secure the road. 1t is probable
that Huntington will make no such at
tempt, for he knows that he can not
bottle up the Santa Fe, and that his &C
ouisition of the road would mean the
construction of rival line in Arizona.
The most desirable thing about the At
lantic e. Pacific is its large land grant,
which embraces vast amount of land,
some of which will in time become very
valuable. That might make Huntington
anxious to get 1t, but his ownership
would do the territories of New Mexico
and Arizona no good, for it is fact we'll
