Abraham Lincoin's Religion.

1t would be useless for us to hold con-
troversy with any one about Abraham
Lincoln's religion. We have already print
ed a letter on the subject from Mr.. =. A.
Macdonald, who gave no proof of his as.
sertion that Mr.. Lincoln was a disbelicv-
er in Christianity. He has sent us an.
other letter in which he rciterates his as
s%ertion, but fails to support it with any
evidence worth a straw. We are also
favored with a book upon the subject
which is not in any way instructive.
We prefer Mr.. Lincoln's own words to
all the assertions of people who speak
without knowledge. Many u time during
his presidency, in public speeches and 9TH
erwise, he. uttered language expressive of
his faith in the Bible and in the funda-
mental doctrines of the Christian religion.
There cannot be my contention as to
the authenticity or the sincerity of these
many expressions. And MI. Lincoln was
not a dissembler. n hypocrite, a falsifer.
or q time server. By his own words and
works he shall be judged.-New York
Sun.

The writer remembers very well to have
heard a very fastidious lady. a member of
the Speed household, say. that though Mt
that time Lincoln had none of the polish
and gracefulness to be expected from
those acquainted with the usagcs of So
ciety, he was one of Natures gentlemen
because of his kindness of heart md in.
nate refinement. And after saying this
she recalled an instance of real good man
ners on his part. At dinner there was a
saddle of mutton. The servant after hand
ing the roast passed IL glass of jelly. MI.
Lincoln took the glass and ate the ielly
from it. The servant got another glass and
passed it around. Mr.. Lincoln noticed
that the others ut table merely took a
spoonful. Without embarrassment or
apology he laughed quietly and remarked,
II seem to have taken more than my
share" and then he went on with his din
ner. Most persons. this lady thought,
after committing such a solecism, would
have been covered with confusion and
profuse in apologies.-John Gilmer Speed,

of light nor fair surroundings, it was re-
served for this strange being, late in life,
without name or fame or seeming prepara-
ton, to be snatched from %obscurity, raised
to supreme command Mt a supreme mo-
ment and intrusted with the destiny of q
nation. Where did Shakespeare get his
genius? Where did Mozart get his mu-
sic? Whose hand smote the Tyre of the
Scottish plowman and staid the life of
the German priest? God alone, and as
surely as these were raised by God, in
spired by God. was Abraham Lincoln.
and a thousand years hence no story, no
tragedy, no epic poem will be filed with
greater wonder than that which tells of
his life and death. If Lincoln was not
inspired of God, then there is no such
thlng on earth us special providence or
the i%ntcrposition of divine " in the
affairs of men.
My fellow citizens, n noble manhood,
noply consecrated to man, never dies.
The martyr to liberty. the cmancipator
OF a race, the savior of the only free gov
eminent among men. may be buried from
human sight, but his deeds will live in
human gratitude forever.

drums,
Disturb our judgment for the hour,
Blu at last silence comes;
These are all gone, and, standing like a
tower,

man,
Sagacious. patient, dreading praise, not
blame,

A LINCOLN NURSE

She Cared for Fob and Willie Lincoln
Before the War.
Aunt Ruth Stanton, an old colored wom-

in Abraham Lincoln's family years ago,
when they lived in Springfield, and long
before the ultimate glory of the great
emancipation was outlined. Aunt Ruth is
now q janitress and drudges all day long,
but she is yet in robust health. This is
the story the old lady tells of her experi-
ence, minus the quaint dialect:

in a frame house with six rooms. Mrs.

the latter's marriage, betray IN anxious

Speed presents these hitherto unpublish-

"A bill taxing and regulating grain ware
houses was passed in the senate on the 4th.
This bill increases the warehouse license
from 81 to $40. There are 1,OOO grain ware
houses in the state and the total fees
would therefore amount TO $4,000. Unlike
the present law, the railroad commissions
crs are directed to use this fund for the pur.
pose of employing lawyers to enforce the
provisions of the warehouse and railroad
law, Notwithstanding the attorney general
and the county attorneys are directed to
prosecute all violations. That the bill was
passed in the senate was due to the efforts
of Senator Palmer. 1t received a majority
of 8, eight POpulists voting for the measure.
An opponent of the measure, commenting
on it, said: SIT is a job, pure and simple,
that will cost the farmers of the state
nearly $1,000 a year in excess of the present
requirements. 1t will be severest upon
the farmer, for the reason that farmers
cannot now load their own grain or
store it in granaries or warehouses
without first obtaining a license. Every
purchaser Of grain is held to be a ware
house man.. If farmers do not rally to OPP
pose this measure it will pass the house
and become a law. 1t seems to have no
other object than to provide a fund for
some lawyer, well qualified to absorb the
full $4,000 at the expense of farmers" The
bill appropriating $4,000 for an exhibition
at Omaha was killed. In the house the
pure food bill was passed. The commits
tee reported favorably on the equal suf.

TIL sensational claim is made that John
A. Picker has been elected United States
senator to succeed Senator Kyle. This
claim is based on the alleged i%ncligibility
of Judge Plowman, and the fact that Mai.
Picker has received a majority Ofthe votes
east on joint ballot, counting out those east
for Plowman, which some lawyers declare
should be done.
National Committeeman Kittridge is of
the opinion that as a United States senator
is required to have a majority of all the
votes cast, it made little difference whether
those votes were cast for an ineligible can
didate or not.
The provision of the constitution in cues.
ton is as follows:
That no judge of the supreme court or circuits
shall be elected to any other than q judicial
Office or be eligible thereto during the term for
which he was elected such judge. All votes for
either of them during such term for any elective
office. except that of Judge of the supreme court.
Circuit court or county court. given by the legls.
lature or people shall be void.
An attempt was made by opponents of
;Plowman to force Plowman from the race
on account of ineligibility, the claim being
based on the constitutional provision quoted
above. Plowman's opponents prepared an
open letter to the members, charging that
in receiving and recording votes for Plow-
man they were violating their oath of office.
The circular was ignored by the judges
followers in Mondays ballot, however,
which resulted as follows:
