I.inacoln's Prophecy.

Il see in the near future Il
crisis approaching that unnerves
me and causes me to tremble for
the safttv Of my country As a
result of the war, corporations
have been introduced, and an era
Of corruption in high places will
follow. and the money power of
the country will endeaver to pro-
long its reign by working upon
the prejudices Of the people, un-
til all wealth is aggregated i'll Il
few hands and the republic is des-
troyed. | feel at this moment
more anxiety for the safety of the
country than ever before, even in
the midst Of the war. ''-Abraham
Lincoln III 1865.
With clear and prophetic Wis
ion the war president foresaw the
trusts and their destructive in
tluences. He foresaw the condi-
tions that prevail in the legisla-
tive halls Of all the States, where
corporations, if not enthroned.
are seeking to gain the mastery
over the people. Sooner, doubt
less. than President Lincoln
thought thi, result would come,
the wealth of the country is ag-
gregated in few hands and cor
porations are in the saddle every
where. If this great and good
man could see the way things are
now shaping themselves, with I'M
pcriaIiSm added to the evils that
follow the reign Of the money
power, he might indeed feel anX-
iet7 for the safety of his country.

Another blessing Of annexation
has just been officially uncovered.
When it was stated III Congress
that the annexation of the sugar
producing islands would mean a
speedy end or the sugar indus
try in the United States. the rabld
annexationists hooted at the idea.
Now, an agent Of the Agricultu
raj Department, sent TO Porto
Rico to carefully investigate the
subject, makes al official report
saying the sugar industry III the
United States is doomed, if Porto
Rico, Cuba and the Philippines
are allowed to send US their sugar
free Of duty. He says the same
grade of sugar that costs ; i
pound to produce i'll the United
States cost but , cents ! pound
to produce in those islands, This
will be a hard nut for the next
Congress to crack.

The Democratic party was never

For the first time IN many moons
the good city of Kinsley has gone dry,
and the process was 90 simple that the
good people of the dry crowd are
kicking each other and wondering why
they did not insist on dry town be-
fore. The council was in session
Monday night and decided not to col
lect any more fines from the joints.
The men who operate these places
took this to mean that it would not be
safe to longer continue their business,
and so promptly suspended. So the
thirsty souls only recourse is to go
to the drug stores for medicinal and
mechanical purposes. 1t is confidently
predicted by those in a position to
make good guess that this spasm of
virtue will last at least two weeks.

Glass Wedding.

Thursday evening, November 30,
about twenty gathered. by invita-
oion, At the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. r. Bacon to celebrate their fifteenth.
or glass, wedding anniversary. After
a short time spent in social chat, Mr..
Bacon led the way into the dining
room, where the table was spread with
the good things which delight the inner
man. After a general discussion of
the bounties of the evening, the guests
retired to the sitting room, where the
rest of the evening was spent in music
and social chat. To say those present
enjoyed themselves hardly expresses
it, and many gentle hints were dropped
to Mr.. and Mrs. Bacon as to the same
crowd being invited to help make
them feel at home as soon as their
new house was completed. Time passed
swiftly, but pleasantly, and too soon
it became time to 60 and the guests
departed, wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Bacon
many pleasant returns of the day.
/ Mr.. and Mrs. Bacon received quite
a numl err of beautiful presents of
glassware rs token of the day and
the esteem of their many friends.
