nothing unpleasant, ahout her manners, and any

There Is no doubt that II she had had any sensible
person about her she would have improved her
self. as eho had a great desire 10 DO well. But
hardly anything moro ridiculous than the ladies
OF her court can be imagined. : . 1t might
be fairly said that II this Princess had not all tho

Moro tragical than that Of any other maid Of

Hamilton. 1t is an interesting fact that a
branch OF the great Scotch house of Hamil-
ton had settled In Russia as early as tho

had married into several Of the distinguished
Muscovite families. had become almost COM
pletely RussiRnized before Peters accession.

The conquest Of the trseless solitude
Of the Northwest opened up to the
human race q career Of progress far
broader than ever before. It freed from
hopeless drudgery both the mind Snd
muscle Of man, and made rapid human
progress possible.
Napoleon found his field Of action
ready made, and circumstances created
the opportunities for his tragic career.
Lincoln created his own field Of action
by peopling the prairies, which nurtured
the crop Of Snti-slavery sentiment, on
which was founded his proud achieve
mentg. The turning Of the prairie sod
OF Illinois was the germinal act Of his
magnificent record. He then planted
the seed in those broad warm burrows
In the bright springtime Of his earlier
days, which sustained him so buoyantly
In after life. The emancipation Of 3
millions Of slaves was the ripe corn in
the ear from that wise and timely plant
ing. 1t was the golden shesves in the
stack, the clean grain in the bin. The
life of Abraham Lincoln was a drama in

to be drawn from a comparison Of the

allows q gas company or an electric light

exclusive use Of its streets. II you admit
two gas companies, or two water Compa-
nies, you have got double expenses, 30
that the very fact thatyou give one COM
psny the right to put down pipes or erect
lines gives it to q certain extent a mo-
nopoly. The result is that If that COM
pany 10 permitted to water its stock and
to earn reasonable rate Of interest on
its nominal capital, you are being COM
PEELED to pay an uncomfortable price for
what you get. WhyP Because, if the
income is great enough to pay reasonable
dividends on the increased stock, and
the stock is increased as the income is
increased, while you will seldom find
that the profits are unreasonable on the
nominal capital, on the actual value Of
the property they are grossly unressonR-
bic and unjust. Suppose farmer has a
farm; his neighbor comes in and buys
land at a lower price; he becomes a COM
petitor. The farmer has no monopoly;
he cannot stop that man; he cannot pre-
vent his competition. The farmer, the
business man, every man who has not
monopoly has got to be satisfied with a
reasonable income upon the present
actual value Of his property. 1t is only
the monopoly which can protect itself
against the general decline Of prices or
the general conditions which affect the
value Of the things which it has to sell.
II, my friends, a few members of COM
munity are able, by having monopoly,
to lift themselves above the general con-
ditions, the result is that the people who
cannot do that have to bear double
burden. They have to have not only
their own suffering, but they have their
suffering increased by reason Of the fact
that they live in the community and deal
with people who are not living and doing
business upon the same basis. So, my
friends, it seems to me that in dealing
with corporations the question should
be: What is absolutely just and fair to
themP And in order to decide what is
fair and just to them, you should apply
to them precisely the same principles
that you apply to the individual, and re-
member that no corporation can justly
ask, or righteously defend, anything
which gives to it any advantage over the
people with whom that corporation does
business"

ing labor from the gerfdom and slavery
Of the past. He had not for moment
lost sight Of the immense and progressive
awakening Of the industrial and COM
mercisl world which had grown out Of
the conquest Of the vast and rich prairiea
Of the Northwest. In this one line Of
advancement we now have in the United
States no less than forty richly endowed
and prosperously working industrial
colleges aud universities, in as many
States. Not only did Mr.. Lincoln per.
form the "germinal act" which set in
motion the creative impulse from which
grew these mighty institutions and
forces Of civilization, but, as President
Of the United States, In 1862, he approved
with his official signature the law fol

After Abraham Lincoln had broker
down the barrier OF the dreaded prai

Workers no longer passed through Vir

generations, approaching Illinois from
the south, as the Lincolns and thou
sands Of others had done, thus arriving
with their political morals contaminated
with the smut Of human slavery. They
came direct from the ancient "Cradle ol
Liberty" to the free and open prairies
They settled counties and States, and
built cities with rspidity never seen be-
fore. Literally, it could be said, "a nation
was born in day" These liberty-loving
pioneers formed communities that were
permested with snti-slsvery sentiment
and, hence came that snti-slsvery force
which ultimately made Mr.. Lincoln's
snti-slavery career possible. II there

chop wood and split rails in 1880 meant

THE CONQUEST OF THE PRAlRIES
BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN, AND
WHAT CAME OF TT.
BY JOHN DAVIS.
Copyrighted by John Davis, 1867
Continued from last lOesk.J

On the scale Of farming here discussed
the prairie farmers soon found them
selves with an enormous surplus Of grain
and other products which must find @
market. At first this gave rise to q
demand for more and better wagon
roads. Also for numerous wagons and
teams. The roads were rapidly multi
piled. They were Strengthened and made
shorter. Hills were graded down and
valleys were graded up, streams were
bridged and soft roads were paved with
wood and were known as "plank roads. I"
Teams we're in demand in all the dry
portions Of the year, getting the crops
to market" Yet they could not meet
the rapidly growing demand, except at
ruinous cost Of time and labor. Bone
and muscle were unequal to the unheard
Of requirements Of prairie agriculture, in
the essential business of moving the
surplus crops to market.
Then came the railroad and the To-
comotive. They sprang into existence
with the energy Of dynamite. With
nerves Of steel, heart of fire and tireless
speed, on roads far SURPRISING the high
ways Of ancient Rome, the farmers pro-
ducts seemed to glide into the markets
Of the country without an effort. The
stories of Aladdin and his wonderful
lamp were SO far surpassed that they
became stale and commonplace. Truth
was stranger than fiction, and the entire
world was rapidly rising TO higher in.
dustrisl plane than ever before.
Early In the progress OF this wonderful
drama, it was found that improved and
prosperous farming gave encouragement
to the mechanical trade and industries,
and sent q new impetus into every line
OF business. The farmers surplus must
be handled and disposed of and his vastly
increased wants must be supplied.
Merchants for these multiplied purposes
promptly appeared and met every re-
quirement. Then came great cities as
the Centers Of commerce, where cities
had never been thought of, with towns
and thriving hamlets along all the rail-
roads, nsvigable streams and every i'm
portsnt public highway. Prior to the
advent Of prairie farming there was NO
Chicago, nor Milwaukee; and in Illinois,
no Bloomington, Champaign, Aurora,
Freeport, Galesburg, Joliet, La Sale,
Pekin, Peoria, Quincy, Rockford, Rock
Island, Jacksonville, nor even Springfield.
Progress in the Northwestern prairie
States was completely blocked, until the
barrier Of the prairies had been broken
down, But, ultimately, when the terrors
Of those solitudes were removed, and
their tough, rich sod had been conquered,
the wheels OF progress commenced their
revolutions in every prairie State Of
America. This Western prosperity also
enriched the East; and more recently,
the farmers of Russia and South America,
following the example of the United
States, have invaded their rich treeless
plains, and now afford q good market
for the same American farm implements
which have proved 80 useful here.
AS the conquest Of the prairies pro-
ceeded, new aspirations were born in the
breast Of the prosperous farmer. He was
not content with producing the greatest

MOVES UNDER WATER.
a Submarine Boat Destroyer for
Cuba Built in Cleveland.

New York, June ia dispatch to the
Press from Lockport, N. Y, says:
Last month a young Cuban came here
and took measurements on the canal
locks. He would not explain in the ma
ture of his visit This morning he came
through here on a strange craft, cigar
shaped, so feet long, and bound for New
York, where it is said, he will turn the
boat over to the Cuban junta.
The boat was built by the Globe Ship
Building works of Cleveland, and is in
charge of Frank Lambson, engineer, and
William Boylen of the Cleveland COM
pany. Three CubanS are on board. The
vessel is a submarine destroyer. The
outer shell is of steel and the boat itself
stack, as its generating apparatus con-
sumes no smoke. 1t can attain a speed
of % miles per hour and has shown
even a higher rate of speed in a recent
official test in Lake Erie.
The fires under the boilers are fed
with bituminous coal and crude petrol
cum. When beneath the surface of the
water, the steam is turned into a con-
denser, or a reservoir, which will hold it
until the surface is reached, when the
vapOr is allowed to escape.
Much of this steam returns to water
in the meantime, and is properly Secur-
ed. The boat is running through the
canal at uniform rate of ten miles an
hour.
Mr.. Boylen said that the boat was to
be used for dynamiting purposes and
to protect the landing of hIibustering
expeditions upon the island of Cuba.
This submarine diver is calculated to
battle all the torpedo catchers and de-
stroyers, and thus fasten death and de-
struct1on to Spanish gunboats and
cruisers patrolhng the high seas and
approaches to Cuba.

business and has been SucceSSIuI IN

of the most important places, revenue
collector and marshal, and forcing LIE
land to give up all his friendly aSpira-
tons for others and pull in the pension
agency or quit.
Realizing that his power was grad

that to permit the appointment of Tom

put up a man who would un-horse him
in the political field. He thereupOn Sc
cured his own appointment Mckinley
and Hanna are both friendly towards
Leland. They regard him as the Kan
sas mouthpiece, and it will be some
months before they ind now Wofully
mistaken they are.
Topeka Republicans without single
exception are disappointed at Tom An
dersOns defeat yet there is consolation
for them in the fact that the Leland
crowd had to yield point when Sterne
was appointed They also realize that
Suttons appointment was another con-
cession wrung from the Leland-Burton
Mr.. Bakers turning down of George
F'indley is apparently an unexpected
and bold defiance of Dave Mulvane and
J. r. Burton.
Burton and Baker had become good
friends after the defeat of the former
by the latter, only to break again be
cause of Senator Bakers attitude on
the tariff bill and his failure to demand
a duty for gypsum ore, which was an
objectionable sin in the eyes of Mr.
Burton and Mr.. Mulvane, who own ex-
tensiVe mines of that mineral in Dick
inson and other western Kansas cOun-
ties.
In recommending Ike Lambert, Mr..
Baker pays the EmpOria man for first
leading the Major Hood delegates to
Baker after Major Hood had with
drawn. In the Republican caucus re-
peated sessions had demonstrated that
Burton would not secure the requisite
number of votes and yet he held suffi-
cient strength to prevent the active
candidates from attaining the nominal
ton. Billy Sterne was out hustling
around fixing up the matter for Baker
while Lambert electrified the caucus
with his speech for Baker. Lambert
and Sterne are therefore Baker men.
Mike Sutton broke with Leland two
years ago in March, when Leland went
to Wichita and interfered in the dis
trict convention which elected delegates
to st. Louis. Leland undertook to run
things in the district convention and
Sutton opposed him, but was defeated.
Burton took Sutton's part, but both
went down together and Leland Sc
cured the election of Harry Bone to the
st. Louis convention.
These appointments produce three
factions in state politics. Baker and
his friends will hereafter be compelled
to fight Leland and his followers as
we'll as J. r. Burton and his crowd,
with sufficient enrnity existing in the
ranks against the leaders to cause per-
chance the downfall of the boss.

BUTLER ON TRIAL.
The Australian Murderer, Taken Back
From America, i'll Court

Sydney, N. S. w, June 15-The trial
of Frank Butler, the Australian, who is
suspected of killing fourteen men, and
perhaps many more, began on the
charge of numbering Captain Weller
while prospecting with him last Sep
TENDER, near Sydney.
Weller and Preston, a metallurgist,
disappeared mysteriously, and their
bodies We're discovered after a long
search by digging near S3nden. Butler.
in the meantime, had sailed for San
Francisco under the name of Weller
On November q he took passage on the
four-nast ship Swanhilda, from New
castle, n. S. w, his name appearing
in the ships papers as Lee Weller, one
of the crew.
Two days after Butler sailed the
bodies of the missing men were found
by a sheep herder. Through the mock
search for gold they had been literally
forced to dig their own graves. In the
pit they themselves had made they
were buried, with only a few handsful
of dirt above them. The sheep herder's
dog, on reaching the vicinity of the
rude graves, scented the bodies and
brought the herder to the spot. The
bodies were removed to Sydney, where
they were searched and evidence was
found pointing clearly to Butler as the
murderer.
