LINCOLN AS A POLITICIAN
LECTURE BY THE REV. ". 5. GROVE IN THE
CHURCH OF THE ETERNAL HOPE.


The Rev ". s. Grove. Of the Church Of thu
Eternal Hope in West Eighty-hrst-st., delivered
lecture last night on Abraham Lincoln as a Poll
tician" Mr.. Grove in the of his remarks
said:
I believe IN politics profession. I think that
the world cannot get along without professional
politicians more than il get along without
lawyers or doctors do not mean office seekers or
mana gers OF the caucus. bur students Of political
economy. Il is the work Of politician TO gather
up good sense and formulate Il in the laws for the
peoples benefit. The chief progress OF the people
OF any nation is by the wise and careful study Of
politics. Let multitCdes OF young men be trained
IN this work until they are experts and then let
make II profession II viii pay to take
politics ike Il pays take up any other profess
sion. BY and by the people viii nominate faithful
men just they employ eminent lawyers
doctors.
Among the departed America can boast Of only
three supreme politicians. The first Samuel
Adams. the second Benjamin Franklin. and the
third call hero patriot, statesman and savior
@ country. The keeuest. shrewdest and long
headed politician Of modern history was AbTa-
ham Lincoln. While they live they are politicians
and when they are dead they are statesmen.
I would never trust politician who denied that
he was ambitious Lincoln wanted 70 be Con-
gresham, Governor, Senator and President, and he
suffered agOnies when defeated.

NOW ITS THE PLUMBERS.
Preparing to Hold Up May Movers in
Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 24-The plumbers
are on a strike. At a meeting whose
four hours session ended at an early
hour this morning the action was voted
unanimously by the iourneymen's
plumbers union. As a result disaster
to all plumbing work necessary for
May moving is predicted.
This strike is the latest developments
OF the local labor troubles. The new
strike is aimed directly at the con-
tractors and the efforts to complete
with union labor the plumbing Jobs on
labor buildings around whose progress
have centered the whirlwinds Of the
labor war. The men to go out will
number 225.
We deemed 1t best to take action
which would make it impossible for
the fighting contractors to continue
to have the work Of such buildings as
Marshall Fields performed in job
plumbing shops by union workmen as
has been the rule since the outbreak
Of the labor war;" said President Thos.
Clinch, Of the plumbers union.
SO We decided by a unanimous vote
to call new strike Of the union plumb
ers who were allowed to continue work
when the 300 other union plumbers
were locked out by the members Of the
buildings contractors council. Not a
union plumber will be at work in this
c4 tomorrow. We will see If the
bosses can't be forced to arbitrate."

hundred leading democrats OF Syracuse
and northern and central New York
attended the Jeftersonian dinner given
under the auspices " the local demo-
oracy by Mayor James X, Mcclure last
night, Gold men and silver advocates
united in making the AFFAIR great
political success.
Former Senator David h. Hin made
the main speech OF the evening. He
said in part;
The public interest would In my
opinion be promoted by the election OF
United States senator's by the people
instead Of by sta;e legislatures, haz.
ard nothing in stating that nine-t teuths
OF the people OF the country favor the
proposed change and are much graft
ned at the recent passage Of a constitu-
donal amendment to that effect by the
house OF representatives, and which is
now pending in the United States SEN
axe awaiting action, The success OF
this reform would mean the death knell
OF offensive bossism in the federal SEN
ate, n consummation much to be de-
sired.
Permit me to say in this connection
that a plank favoring an amendment
to the constitution. providing for the
election OF United States senator's by
the people was in the original draft
Of the Chicago platform in 1896, but was
stricken therefrom by the sub commit
tee on resolutions against my earnest
protest.
While not intending to discuss ma
tional questions here this evening, l
may digress sufficiently to say that
there is now every reasonable prospect
that such wise action may be had that
it can be truthfully said that at the
conclusion Of the coming convention
at Kansas city on the anniversary OF
our Nations independence that the
stone which the builders refused is to
become the head Of the corner.
