Since Lincolns time it is reputed
true that no human slavery has existed
within the borders Of these United
States. IL is true, / presume, from
legal standpoint, but we young men
must never drop, while living, into
the satisfied condition Of glOriiicd
saints; there is too much to do, too
much wrong to be righted, too much
retrogression to combat. So while
colored people have now to look after
themselves instead Of being looked
after. not all Of their problems nor all
of ours have been solved. See how
industrial conditions have changed
since Lincoln's time; vast factories have
absorbed small shops; vast floods Of
men have made competition for labor
too severe almost to bear, vast numbers
of men who would work cannot; vast
numbers also who could work do not
care 10. and thus yield to the tyranny
of petty bosses. Hordes Of immature
youths Of both sexes are forced out into
the competition Of life before they are
able to successfully stand the strain
Their wages are pittances in many
cases. and their poor little pay-en-
velopes are often robbed by employer
who dock the pay Of an hour or more
for "A five-minute tardiness. Compared
with the strain Of modern life in on
crowded factory towns, the lot OF The

usions TO him in books and in papers,
aud the increasing tendency to regard
his birthday AS a holiday make him a
very real man to Us; and his example
even greater in its influence than dur
ing his life, for each year carries US
further and further away from the heat
and the frenzy Of the great war and we
get not only better perspective view
of Lincoln but also Of the conditions
that made him great.
To me one Of the most interesting
considerations in connection with his
public life is that though he signed, a.
a war measure the Emancipation
Proclamation yet he never abandoned
i'm his personal convictions the belief
that the South bad rights by inheri-
lance, and by perfectly legal purchase,
in their living property. This Is de
monstrated beyond all cayil by his
attempt to get Delaware to pass a
gradual emancipation act, the owners
to be paid $500 a head for every slave,
man. woman or child, belonging to
them. The measure failed, Of course,
because feelings were too heated on
each side to permit the calm judgment
that Lincoln himself possessed. The
fact that he dared such a step while
the hotheads were ready to denounce
him, is but little known or little under
stood. So interested was he in the
plan that with his own hand he
sketched out the details Of two methods
by which the end desired could be
obtained. These priceless proofs of his
fairness aud of his courage are before
me on my desk, as / write. Further
more, have if from the lips of a man
still living, man who was one Of his
most trusted advisers and cOn1dants,
the Hon. George p. Fisher, that before
the war ended Mr. Lincoln had already
commenced to turn over in his mind
plan for issuing bonds to the extent OF
100000, 600 as a means Of setting the
ruined South on its feet again. Death
cut this magnanmOus plan short,
therefore it is almost idle to lheorize
regarding results, if it had been put
into effect. 1t is self-evident, however,
that the humiliation of the rec0nstruc-
ton period, when the brother triumph
ant abased the brother defeated, would
have been avoided, and with it much
Of the ranking resentment that burnt
deep in some Of the Southern hearts
until February last. Then, thank God,
one great passion was superseded by
luuther-the desire to see American
arms successful whether welded by
North or by South.

Another aspect Of his life is one that
is valuable in the extreme, to US just
at this time of bewilderment, when
even wise men are asking themselves
what the United States as nation
should do when confronted by new
conditions. Though Lincoln was train
ed as lawyer and therefore more apt
than usual to be guided and influenced
by precedents, yet none can say that
he failed in adjustablity. He saw clear
lv what the fathers could never have
foreseen and because they therefore
had ne, er expressed themselves regard
ing the new problems he felt at liberty
10 act on the judgment Of the living
rather than Of the dead. In short, he
made precedents for himself, aud did
what every true American ought to do
and can do, the "best" under all the
circumstances. When the great dis
ruption confronted Lincoln he faced a
condition aud trod a pathway that nc
signer Of the Declaration Of lndepen-
ence knew about.
Because Of the lack Of knowledge on
the part Of the forefathers, he did not
fatuously deny the existence Of the
path; but with a calmness almost
supernatural and a devotion most ex'
hausting to himself he used the ligh
and Judgment Of his own day to NEE

TRANSYAAL TROUBLE.
British Agents Reported to Be Under Arrest
in South Africa.

London, May 1.-THE consul of
Transvaal here received the following
telegram from his government, dated
Pretoria, May 16: Richard Nichols,
describing himself as colonel; George
Patterson, Captain Edward J. from
lett, Charles Ellis, John A. Mitchell,
Fries and Hooper, were arrested yes
terday on the sworn declaration of
three Englishmen on a charge of high
treason in connection with the alleged
object of enrolment of troops to create
a revolution, seize Johannesburg fort
and hold possession of the town until
British troops from Natal could come to
their assistance. One of the prisoners
alleges he was acting under instruc-
tions from the British war depart
ment."
Prominent South Africans who are
here have not received word from their
own agents at Cape Colony. 1t is said
the absence of advices indicates that
the affair was "trumped UP by Boer po-
lice,' and in any case the men arrested
were irresponsible nobodies with fic-
titious military titles affixed by Beers
with the object of discrediting the Brit
ish in the eyes of the continental pow

sion to-day. Thomas L. Hamilton, for

Herlihy, whose transfer from a down

HOW IT. WAS DONE.
Manila May 17-Colonel Summers in
command, the 22d infantry on the left,
Minnesota regiment in the center, Ore
gon and North Dakota regiments on the
right, preceded by scouts and accom-
panied by Scott's battery of artillery,
advanced from Baldarte at daylight.
The troops first encountered the enemy
two miles from San Isidro. The rebels
returned when our artillery opened fire.
Just outside of town the rebel force, es-
timated at 1000 men, was entrenched.
They made slight resistance, and quit
their position when our troops turned
the right flank. The enemy's loss is
fifteen killed and twenty wounded. Our
troops also captured three prisoners
and many rifles. On the American side
one soldier Of the Oregon regiment and
one of the Minnesota regiment We're
slightly wounded. After capturing the
town Colonel Summers troops contin-
ued to advance, pursuing the retreating
rebels several miles.
AROUND SAN FERNANDO.
Manila, May 17.-Although the rebels
still threaten San Fernando in consid-
cradle force, large number of natives,
the majority being families with house,
hold goods, are moving daily to towns
inside of the American lines. Many
rich Filipinos are coming to Manila.
Iaborers are resuming work in rice
fields. Owing to the bad condition Of
the wagon roads, the work of repairing
the railroad is being actively pushed.
Trains undoubtedly will be running
through San Fernando in a few days.
