SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BIZ "NEMO'.


AS TO LINCOLN Some of the towering
personages of history possibly from our
ignorance of their daily lives-seem more
like demi gods than men, and we simply
marvel at them; for il the fame of
great man has elements in it that are
walls before us instead of steps we peep
at it like children from a distance, we
long vainly for its altitude, and we pass
on neither aided nor encouraged. 1t is
true beyond dispute that a touch of
Nature makes us all kin, and like the I'M
expected meeting of beloved friend is
the effect upon us of the great
who have suffered as we have,
worked long years unseen as we do,
and triumphed in some measure as We
hope to at last. We are cheered by them.
In them we discover the lneaments of
ordinary, approachable humanity; their
footsteps were no longer than ours but
simply always led forward, their hours
were no more numerous than those al
lotted to us but were made to bend to a
purpose, their hopes remained too often
unrealized-like ours-but in reaching up
ward towards them came sublimity to the
lives that we can safely admire and en-
ulate,

were no more numerous than those al
lotted to us but were made to bend to a
purpose, their hopes remained too often
unrealized-lke ours-but in reaching up
ward towards them came sublimity to the
lives that we can safely admire and en-
ulate.
Among those who do not discourage nor
dazzle is our Lincoln. AS the fierce light
of the fevered hours in which he stood
unmoved subsidies into gentle day
whose progress is guiltless OF internecine
strife, he shows forth ever more clearly as
.'the great commoner''. He is a living
proof of truth we too often doubt in our
haste-neither the lack of money nor of
pedigree are enough to keep in subsection
those who "will'' to shake themselves free
from impediments. He stands as an en-
couragemcnt to those who strive against
discouraging odds-by clarifying the
commonplace affairs of life into actual
tests of character, and by throwing his
full power unreservedly into every task he
takes up. He shows that the sum total
expected of a man is that he should do the
best he can-if great man in a small
place, by filling it to overfiowing; II an
untried man in great place, by filling it
through the might and the growth that
come from modesty, humility, teachable
ness.
He is-surely one with many OF us-not
occupied with proclaiming his descent,
but having whereof to boast in his ascent
not handled by luxurious mother
through the proxy-love OF hired arms
but nourished by rugged woman under
those strenuous circumstances that de-
veloped unsung heroes along every Bride
path of our enormous frontier. He is not
bound within the limits of any creed of
mans inventing, but throws out his broad
soul into fellowship with those of all ma
lions who do man-service as God pleasers.
He does not stalk along in gloomy abb
straction, but is hail fellow" in a sun
burdened ones to whom a laugh is more
refreshing than new wine. He is not
filled with thoughts of some future des
tiny-it is only onlookers who see the
destiny OF man-for he is content with
the next step each time that it comes, no
matter where it leads. He is not even
superior To repning and gloom, but from
every hour of depression he rises to fling
the gage OF Despair into the face OF
Fortune, daring her to the conflict.

A Scandal Involving the Methodist Book

A Scandal Involving the Methodist Book
Concern Appropriation. ..
Washington, June "A House bill
making certain grants Of land to the ter
ritory Of New Mexico for educational
purposes was reported to the Senateltoday
by the committee on public lands and
passed.
Mr.. Gallinger of New Hampshire, re-
ported from the committee on commerce
a bill providing American registry for
the steamers Olympia, Victoria, Tacoma,
Columbia, Arizona and Argly of the
North Pacific steamship company. He
expressed the hope the bill would be
passed at once as the ships were needed
by the government TO trapsport troops to
Manila, Philippine Islands. The vessels
are all flying at present the British flag
Mr.. Gallinger said that the war depart
ment had found it difficult to obtain
transport ships on the Pacific coast One
of the vessels secured, the Centennial had
been found unseaworthy and it was the
purpose Of the committee on commerce
to take stops to secure phe repeal of the
act providing American register for the
Centennial. This statement gave rise
to discussion that developed SOME sensa-
tional disclosures.
Mr. Perkins OF California sarcastically
inquired Of MIR. GRllinger whether he
| supposed that vessel which he proposed
to provide with American registry were
any better than the Centennial had
proved to be-
Mr.. Gallinger replied that the vessels
were satisfactory to the war department.
Mr.. Carter of Montana entered upon
an explanation Of the declaration that
the Centennial was unseaworthy. The
ship he understood, from perfectly
trustworthy sources. Was thoroughly
sound vessel.
1.-The fact seems to be-" said Mr.. Car
ter, that number Of gentlemen engaged
in shipping on the Pacific coast have
been engaged in holding up the United
States government for exorbitant prices
for transport ships. The arrival Of the
Centennial at San Francisco and the
granting to her of an American registry
was notice to the patriotic gentlemen
VINO We're endeavoring to get the govern
ment by the throat that their monopoly
was broken and they entered into con-
splraoy to break down the reputation of
the vessel"
Mr.. Perkins said that be desired to enter
q word of defeuse of the San Francisco
snip owners. So far as ii @ company
with which he was connected was con-
cerned, 1t had declined to charter It's
ships to the government. Therefore it
could not be included in the denuncia-
tion OF MIR. Carter. He knew of his per-
sonal knowledge that Mr.. 9. P. Hunt
ington of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company had placed the vessels of his
line at the disposal of tine government
Other San Francisco ship owners have
offered their vessels to the government
at its own price.
The loyalty of the people Of California
declared Mr Perkins, cannot be impugned.
