lincoln's Care in the Use of Words.

In the opinion of the judges and prac-
tltloners with whom Lincoln WINS asso
ciated during his quarter of a century
at the bar his most prominent charac-
teristic was his rare faculty for detect
ing and disclosing the controlling point
In legal battle. But not less than this
was his clear full. orderly, and accurate
statement OF case; always so fair
and logical that it was often said that
after Lincoln had summed up the i'm
portant facts In a controversy there
was but little occasion for argument
on either side. He habitually employed
Mt the bar the same care and skill in
the use OF words and the expression of
IDEAS which he so often afterward ex-
hlbited when called to a higher field of
labor; instances of which are seen in
all his state papers, and in the changes
for the better which he made in the
writings OF his scholarly secretary of
state, particularly in the correspondence
relative to the Trent affair, which pro-
badly avoided war with England
A fine example of the grandeur of his
diction is to be found. in his Gettys-
burg address, which has permanent
place In the literature of the world
He thought vigorously and thorough
ly, but did not speak quickly. In reality
his hesitation was only the result of his
great care always to know his ground
His habit was before speaking or act
ing TO dellnefately look through, around
and beyond every fact, statement or
proposition involved, and subject It to
his wonderful powers OF perception
and analysis. This required time, but
1t made him successful In every Inn
portant undertaking. While he thought
much, he could not truthfully be called
n great reader. He knew thoroughly
the works OF Coke, Blackstone, Stephen.

but little time to searching for prece-
dents, or studying what is called case

AGAINST THE RAILROADS,
new York Merchants Association to Fight
for Lower Excursion Rates

'or h'oWtr Excursion Rates.
New York, Feb 1.-The advisory
committee of the Merchants association
mas decided to undertake the collec-
ton OF fund sufficient to enable the
board OF directors to conduct a yl,or-
Gus campaign against railroads which
discriminate against this city, Action
was provoked by refusal OF the roads
forming what is known as the Central
Passenger association which has its
headquarters in Chicago and of which
Il. Q. Donald is the commissioner to
grant the application OF merchants for
rates for excursions In February and
March to enable merchants to come to
this city for the purpose of making
their purchases in the spring trade.
This was done Notwithstanding the
most earnest efforts of the Merchants
association to follow out the line of
work which was begun last summer
and which was so successful in in
creasing the trade of this city last
August and September The associa-
ton urged without avail that the roads
in question have granted reduced rates
for similar conventions or excursions
to Chicago and st. Louis and other
railway associations and Individual lines
west Of the Mississippi river have
granted similar excursions to the trade
centers through which their lines run
or on which they have their terminal.
The Merchants association has issued
long statement of its futile effort to
secure the concessions from the joint
traffic association or the granting of
much modified request by the trunk
line association fer Its limited territory,
with the expectation that the applica-
ton would he granted also by the con-
Meeting lines of the Central Traffic as
ISOLATION which virtually controls the
territory west of Buffalo and Plttsburg,
east of ST. Louis and Chicago, and north
of the Ohio river. This application was
denied,
