LinCOln,a Prediction.

To Abraham Lincoln seems to have
been given the power of prophecy.
With the vision of statesman. Lincoln
peered into the future and raised a
voice of warning.
In one of his prophetic moods, the
great liberatOr said: 81 see in the near
future a crisis approaching that un-
nerves me and causes me to tremble for
the safety of my country. AS result
Of the war, corporations have been en-
thrOned and an area of corruption in
high places will follow, and the money
power of the country will endeavor to
prolong its reign by working upon the
prejudices Of the people. until all
wealth Is aggregated in n few hands
and the republic is destroyed. / feel
at this moment more anxiety for the
safety Of the country than ever before,
even In the midst Of the war"
No words could express more clearly
the present condition of affairs. The
great corporations are doing exactly
what Lincoln feared they would do.
They are working upon the prejudices
Of the people. They are aggregating
the wealth OF the country into few
hands. They are endeavoring to estab-
lish an aristocracy of wealth. They are
striving to crush the workingrnen and
to put the classes in position Of abso-
lutte power over the masses.
1t is the aim Of the money power to
make riches supreme. TO reduce wages
to their lowest terms, to take away all
methods Of redress from labor, to kill
competition and to rule with an iron
hand is the aspiration Of the trusts.
These money sharks have secured
control Of the Republican party. They
rule the administration. They control
the army and the courts of justice.
There is no hope for the people ex.
cept in the Democratic party. When
will the wage-earners learn this? When
will the men who labor cast off the
bonds Of Republican tyranny and vote
for their own freedom with the only
party which is ready and willing to
come to their relief2

Distance Encomp...ed by Vision.


One hundred and eighty three miles
is the longest distance ever encom-
passed by human vision, being the dis
tance between the Uncompahgre Peak.
in Colorado. and Mount Ellen, in Utah.
The feat was accomplished by the sur
veyors of the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey, who are engaged In
conjunction with representatives Of
other nations. in making a new meas
urement of the earth. The observers
on the Pacific coast have been able to
signal from Mount Shasta to Mount
Helena. a distance of 100 miles, but
have never been able TO get response.
Between the other two peaks communi-
cation has been continuous for an hour
or more on several occasions. The
Uncompahgre is 14.3OO feet. This is
the height. while Mount Ellen is 13,-
400 feet The longest distance that the
human eye had ever reached prior to
the foregoing record was 16S miles, be-
tween Algiers and Spain.

which the Indian and the members of his
family are reasonably entitled, can be
leased in advance of aIlotments. The

THE SECOND LECTURE.

The second illustrated lecture of the
travel series being provided by the
management of the Carroll Club for
the members is to be delivered on Tues
day evening, November 21st 1t will
be devoted to Venice, the Bride of the
Adriatic." The lecture will take an
hour in delivery and will be illustrated
by more than hundred views, many.
of them most exquisitely colored. The
members of the club are given free adj
mission with the privilege of obtaining
a limited number of tickets for friends
for nominal fee. So much interest,
however, has been shown by the gen.
eral public that the management will
probably decide to sell tickets at the
box Office for all who desire to attend.
1t is to be hoped that this plan will be
carried out, as the first of the lectures,
that on Egypt, last week, was a reve-
lation to the Wheeling public concern
ing the possibilities of the illustrated
lecture as means of fascinating in
struction on the interesting countries
and cities of the world. If the remain
ing lectures of the series are up to the
standard set by the one on Egypt, this
course will be what the club manage
ment claim for it, the finest series OF
illustrated lectures ever delivered in
Wheeling. This lecture on Venice is
said to be the best of all in respect of
beauty, and this is easy to believe, for
the lovely Bride of the Sea" has never
failed to awaken the admiration of
travellers and to stir the poets to song.
