Lincoln always had at heart the well
fare of the common people, and he
thought the greatness of party was
measured by the same standard. The
tariff question will not be agitating
the people in the next campaign, he
declared, for that question has been
settled for the next generation at least
M. d. Mum made very nice speech
on the subject of Lincolns natural tall
ent and the marvellous manner in
which, without acquired education, he
drew to his support the most cultured

implanted in him in the solitude of the
forest.
Gen. Clapp had an idea that could be bet
ter expressed by Oar Reese; and that gentle
man proceeded to express it. It proved TO
be an eulogy of C.. K. Davis. Davis was
head and shoulders above any man other than
Lincoln in the United States, and 100 young
Republicans, in flannel suits ard patent
leather shoes at the st. Louis convention
could, disregardipg the claims of geography

TALKED ABOUT LINCOLN.
st. Joseph's Temperance Soctety
CommemOrates His Birth

st. Joseph's Temperance soctety
Commentaries His Birth.
A gathering Of fully 800 young people
was in attendance at the entertainment
given last evening at ST. Joseph's hall,
Carroll street and Harrington avenue,
by the st. Joseph's Temperance society
in commemoration of Lincoln's birth
day. Addresses, were t~made by Rev.
Father Harrison, Rev. Father Gleason,
Rev. Father O'Brien, J. J. Regain, and
J. F. Mcclure. short musical pro-
gramme was given.
Mr.. Mcclure gave a review Of
Lincoln's life, putting stress upon the
fact that he was a strictly temperance
man, and relating a number of funny
stories connected with his life He
dwelt chiefly with the boyhood of the
martyrd president, and in closing re-
marked that a great lesson could be
drawn from the fact that Lincoln ac-
complished such worthy work during
his life, and only had six weeks school
ing.
Rev. Father Harrison, who next
spoke, remarked that after man had
been dead for some years there was
much legendary talk about him; that
Lincoln came into public work just
when the country was in the throes of
civil war, and that he had no more to
do with freeing the slaves than he will
with judgment day. He said, however,
that Lincoln was a thoroughly great
man and worthy. That while it is
said that he had not much schooling,
he was always at school. always read
ing, and with the correct purpose of
some day becoming president OF the
United States.
Rev. Father Gleason devoted his re-
marks mostly to a concert he is inter
ested in, to be given Tuesday night at
st. Peter Clavers church. His natural
wit made his words even more humor-
Gus, perhaps, than he intended and
kept the young people in a continual
war of merriment.
Rev. Father O'Brien told a story
about Lincolns making a short ad-
dress at young peoples meeting once
because it was so late he thought the
best thing for them to do would be to
go home. Father O'Brien said he
wanted to follow Lincoln's good exam
pie, and so he merely referred to the
fact of the departed hero having been
a man of temperate habits.
The musical programme was given
by the young people and a mandolin
orchestra

SELLING DRY DOUGH-.
Two Young Men Perpetrating o.
Cheap SwindIe


Two enterprising young men arc a+
present engaged in working the citi
ZenS of St. Paul for their hard coin bv
a unique method of swindling which
came to the notice of the police yester-
day through the complaint of John
D. Roberts, residing at 423 North
street. Mr.. Roberts brought to the
central station a neat brown package
containing a number of white tablets
about the size of a five-cent piece,
which he said his wife had purchased
for 90 cents from two smooth-appear-
ing young fellows representing them
selves to be medical students. They
stated that in a happy moment, during
their laboratory Investigations, they
had discovered q most wonderful rem
edy for a disordered stomach. The
larly effective in the case of children,
and as the formula was a secret the
discoveries were personally putting
the remedy before the public. A small
box sold for 80 cents was declared by
the labels on the outside to effect
permanent cure of any disorder of
the stomach. An examination of the
tablets presented at the station by
Mr.. Roberts showed them to possess
one, and only one, virtue claimed by
their discoveries. They were a strictly
vegetable compound, consisting of
ordinary bread dough, pressed into a
disc, anG sprinkled with common flour
to give an appearance of sugar coat
ing. The alleged students are said to
have thoroughly canvassed the Airing
ton Hills district Tuesday, and to have
sold their wonderful remedy to a
number of families A description of
the men was taken by the police, who
will endeavor to stop their operations

COULDN'T BUY A BED,
So Duncan Cameron Decided to
Leave Cripple Creek.


Duncan Cameron, of Butte, Mont.
was at the Merchants yesterday on his
way home from Cripple Creek Col
Cameron said to a reporter for the
G b e that he had left Cripple Creek
for the unusual reason that he could
not purchase an opportunity to go to
bed in that gilded village, and he grew
tired of passing every night in an Of
flee chair
Il slept in a chair said Mr.. Cam
ercn, mot because 1 wanted to seem
eccentric. not because I was trying to
figure as the apostle of Vertical Slun-
Der, but because there are a great
many more people in Cripple Creek any
night than there are beds. The town
isn't a big one. 1t has only one street
to speak Of. The strangers just ar
rived are so numerous that it's hard
to walk down that street, and only a
native or distinguished guest can ar
rogate q whole bed to himself. L stop

found the way barred. I called the
clerk aside and asked him if the Cripple
Creeker, in his natural, wild state ever
did wash. %, yes the clerk said; "a
good many of our guests wash every
day, and Col. Van Kirk, over there,
from New York, washed three times
yesterday. But it costs money, of
course. You give me quarter and [
let you have key to the wash room
But not all the guests at the Palace
were as reckless as the colonel from
New York. They did not revel in an
eternal bath, and they nearly all slept
together in the hotel Office. A stylish
looking fireplace in the middle of the
room fronted a wide space enclosed by
an iron railing. Inside of this space
were rows of common leather upholst-
cred Office chairs, and it was in these
chairs that the ordinary, unassuming
guest went to bed every night.
six trains run into Cripple Creek

be to treat with us on fair and equal
terms.
The overwhelming power Of the
United States has been exhibited as 1t
never was before. All the world adj
mits her high sovereignty on the Ameri-
can continent We have not wrested
that concession from an unfriendly
world by a display of men Of war. It
has come as the acknowledgment of the
inherent might Of this republic, and the
inherent right of it's assertion of
supremacy on this continent. There
will be no further dispute about that.
There will never be an attack upon this
country, unless it should go filibuster-
ing about the world and dipping it's
fingers into problems and complica-
terest. For defense, it now appears,
we are amply equipped. For offerse,
we need no further provision; because
it would be no less than a crime for
but equally forceful, expression of the
Monroe doctrine which declares that
we have no interest or participation in
European affairs. From this time on,
they who urge the expenditure Of vast
sums of money on preparations for
war can have no rational excuse be-
hind which to hide the real motive
that animates them; the desire to
squander the wealth wrung from
toiling people in war preparations that
must remain as useless as dismantled
hulk, rotting idly at anchor in some
forgotten port of unknown seas.

Secretary Morton met the committees
Of the senate and house, in whose wise

statement of what he had done and
what not, and the reason why he had

his statement the report of his agent

sending them out to their constituents
