In this work the league has the CO.
operation of leading men. in all lines
of life, and its headquarters in CHI
cago are the center of one of the most
important national movements OF the
age.
HIS FAITH IN AND LOVE FOR
THE PEOPLE.
The foundation of Lincoln's political
belief was the maxim of the Declara-
tion Of Independence that all men have
a right to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. In his day the first sof
these rights, the right to life, was fully
recognized throughout the nation. But
the second and third, the rights TO lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness, We're
by the institution of slavery in fifteen
States denied to the millions of negroes,
most of whom Were born in America.
1t was Lincoln's words and work thar
gave to them as we'll as to every future
American, native or naturaliZed, the
full recognition of the second and third
clauses of the maxim of the Declara-
tion.
While the legal right to the pursuit
OF happiness is now full and complete.
its enjoyment is sometimes obstructed
by lawbreakers, sometimes by the en-
yironment of harsh social conditions;
and to prevent, remove, or mitigate
such distractions of either kind is one
of the political problems of our day
In his Gettysburg address Lincoln de-
fined our Government to be govern
ment OF the people, by the people. for
the people. Scanning this definition
critically, we find that government of
the people must not only be for the peo-
pie. out ii must be by the people. Gov

nothing. To enjoy political privileges
we must earnestly and conscientiously
perform political duties. Not only ali
neglect of these duties but also all
error IN their performance inevitably
recoils UPON ourselves. We must not

A Malicious Falsehood,

The Virginia Chronicle has the fol-
lowing
The Peoples Advocate of Winnie
muccca uses the following in one of
Its recent editorials:
Stewart stated before the Senate
Committee which had the subject
under consideration, THAT it would
be an imposition upon the railroad to
compel them to establish a terminal
point within the boundaries of this
State, desert where there was no
business"
The above is wilful and malicious
falsehood without a shadow of truth
No such statement, we are author
lied to say, was ever expressed by
Senator Stewart, nor was the oues-
ton of terminal point in Nevada
ever discussed in Committee in his
presence.
Why the editor of the Advocate
shound be constantly dealing in mis-
representations instead of seeking
the truth is incomprehensible.

NEW hAMPSHlRE'S PRIDE.
Splendid Work Done for the Free Public
Library System.

Library System.
New Hampshire has reason to be
proud of her free public library system.
Splendid work has been accomplished
since 1892, and of the 233 cities and
towns in the STATE there are now not
more than so that have no free public
library. There is every reason to ex-
pect that even this number will be
greatly reduced by the action of the
voters in these towns at the next March
meeting. The value of these libraries,
free to every citizen of town, is SO
obvious that no one now seriously ques-
tons it, and it is source of satisfaction
to every friend of education to con-
template the results that will surely
follow from their influence.
Under the law of 1895 every town
must elect board of library trustees,
whether it has free public library or
not, and a small assessment is made
compulsory unless the town votes that
it sis ineXpedient to establish libra
ry." But this action must be taken
eachyear, the evident purpose Of the law
being that the subject of n free public
library shall be brought annually to
the attention of every town in the
state. In towns where there is no pub
lie library the assessment is to form Il
fund, in the care of the trustees, until
such time as the library is established.
1t was not intended by the law that
the compulsory assessment should be
a sufficient support for the libl airy, and
it is to be hoped that each town will
make an additional appropriation in
order that its library may be constantly
increasing and be maintained at a high
standard of efficiency. There can be no
better investment in any town-after
the schools have been provided for
than the judicious expenditure of
money in the purchase of books that
shall be free and in the reach of every
citizen. 1t is q matter to be thought
about and talked about and acted upon
when the voters come together in town
