Lincoln the Desnnt.

The indianapolis Sentinel Of Aug. 10
contains these remarks about a man
whom many Democrats used to abuse
like a pickpOcket when he was living
and whom the Democrats of today are
fond of eXtOllinG and quoting, i'm their
zeal occasionally forging quotations.
''NO more infamous slander could be
conceived than the charge that Lincoln
was an imperialist Every word and
every act of his heroic life stamps the
charge with falsehoOd. He would have
desPised Imperialism as un-American
and immoral He would never have
governed a people against their con-
sent. He would never have sneered
away the Declaration of Independence
He would never have formed an al
lance with human slavery. He would
never have tolerated a contract labor
system. He would never have ATTEMPT
ed to belittle the outrageous steals of
Cuba. He would never have exchanged
American blood for foreign gold. Let
Imperialism invoke Lord North, Cecil
Rhodes and Castlereagh, but, in the
good name of Abraham Lincoln!"
In the indianapolis Journal of Aug
10 are some extracts from this same
Sentinel of 1864. We reprint three of
them:
"Have not the people daily evidence
that Abraham Lincoln is assuming the
power-the despOtic power-to enable
him to pay his debts and replenish his
overdrawn Golfers, exhausted by ex-
travagance and ambitious strife for
pOwer?"
More than eighteen hundred years
ago Rome was governed by three men
at the end of that republic. One was
Caesar. They were all of noble blood
And we, too, have our triumvirate-
Lincoln, Stanton, Halleck. but unfortu
nately neither of them can boast O
very high descent. There succeeded
an emperor who could fiddle wheI
Rome was burning. We also have oul
emperor. Lincoln, who can tell stal'
| jokes while the land is running rec

will be no longer a republic of tn
United States. but n consolidated EN-
pire. Every safeguard must sooner o
later give way. The limitations of tn
executive power will not be in the cor
stitution, but In the pleasure of tn
president. We implore patriotic an
intelligent men to pause and reflect an
give their verdict on Tuesday mex
II the people will not save their price
less constitution and Union, it is lost.
In 1864 The Sentinel and the othe
Hunker Democrats accused Lincol
just as the Bryanites are accusing Ne
Kinley now. The Democrats were vel
ing republic or empire" in 1864 jus
as they are yelling now. They were a
absurd then as they are now. The
cries Of "despotlsm" and "imperialism
and "mllitarism" will seem as ridicl
lous and impossible In 1886 as the
cries Of 1864 sound now. And til
, country will stand by William McKiI
, ley as 1t stood by Abraham Lincoln.

Colonel ROOseveIts Care For His

Colonel ROOsevelt's Care For His
Men.
Writing of the physical condition of
the rough riders at the time of mus
tering out, DR.. Frank Donaldson, as
sistant surgeon of the regiment, had
this to say in The Medical News for
October 10, 1898. In speaking of the
lack of supplies, medical and other,
in Cuba, he says: ''The troopers, how
ever did have rather more and better
food than most of the regiments.
Thanks to Colonel ROOsevelts unceas-
ing thOughtfulness for the men, we
were enabled to obtain a deal of food
and stimulants. His private purse was
always open, and he often told me to
stop at no expense in getting supplies
of all kinds. l can give no better
proof of the care that Colonel ROOse-
velt demanded for his men. and which
they received, than the fact that there
were only 81 men who were too sick
to come to MOntauk Point when we
were mustered out. This record is a
source of considerable pride to us and
speaks elOquently for the care they
received.
eve could not have obtained this re.
suit had it not been for Colonel ROose-
velt's constant help, official, moral and
financial, and can truthfully say that
it is to his unselfish devotion, unceas-
ing oversight and personal interest in
every man that this volunteer regi-
ment has come out in such good shape
Moreover, his interest did not cease
with the breaking up at MOntauk. Act.
ing under his orders, after leaving that
place, the condition and position cf
every man, sick or in need, was looked
into by ME, and their necessities pro.
vided for with money given me by
him.

Another Gold Democrat Heard From

Judge James r. Hoblit, one of the
most influential Democrats in Lincoln.
Ills, and last year a supporter of the
gold Democratic ticket, will this year
vote for Mckinley. In an interview
recently Judge Hoblit said:
81 believe the attitude Of Mr.. BRYAN
and his followers on the money ques-
tion is full of peril to every interest in
the country except that of silver min
ing, and fear the civil service law
would fare very i'll at his hands. am
unable to see danger ahead for so call.
ed Imperialism, especially if we have
wise civil service law honestly en-
forced. In fact, the cry of imperialism
and militarism ought to frlghten no
one who believes in the sound sense
and courage Of Americans. Mr.. Bryan
appears to me to have more zeal than
discretion, to be possessed of more
'isms' than solid attainments."

except a slight pain about the region of
the heart. In less than an hour he was

here from New York suffering with some
pulmonary trouble and in search of health
He entered the employ of II. F. Smart &
Bro as bookkeeper a first and later
thoroughly regained his health. He has

SYNDICATE is IN THE WAY.
Nicaragua Said to Have Conceded
Canal Rights.


New York, Feb. 9.-The Tribune to-
morrow viii publish the following:
The progress which the Nicaragua ca
nal bill is making in Congress and the an
nouncement of the terms of the treaty
which Secretary Hay has negotiated with
Great Britain have revived interest in the
much discussed claims of the Maritime
Canal Company and the Cragin-Eyre-
Grace syndicate and the concessions which
they have obtained from the Nicaraguan
government.
II is asserted BY the shareholders in
these companies that when the United
States come TO treat with Nicaragua for
the right to construct canal across that
republic, Nicaragua will be found TO have
no such rights to concede, because she has
already disposed of them TO these com
panes. Report places the cash value at
which these concessions are now held by
the guarantees at S5,000000 Among the
men interested in the Cragin- Eyre Grace
syndicate, David Mcclure lawyer said to-
day are Levi T. Morton, John Jacob AS
tor. John A. Mitchell. George G. Williams
George Westinghouse, John d. Crimmins
James Stlman, Edward f. Cragin, e. H.
Eyre and William r. Grace.
Some of these men, notably Mr.. Eyre
and Mr.. Grace, are also stockholders in
the Maritime Canal Company Notwith-
standing the fact that certain men hold
stock in both companies, there seems to
be a well defined difference of opinion as
to whether the Maritime Canal Company
now holds any concessions from Nica-
ragua or not The officials say 1t does,
and a published report that the Cragin-
Eyre-Grace syndicate had secured the
rights of the Maritime Canal Company was
declared by David Mcclure, counsel for
William II. Grace. to be true. n. +. Eyre,
who is vice president of that company,
said that there was nothing new in the
situation, but Il. +. Cragin declared posi-
lively that the Maritime Company had no
rights at all because 1t had allowed them
to lapse on oct. 3 last by non-fulhllment
of the conditions on which they were bas-
ed.
The question whether the Cragin-Eyre-
Grace syndicate has Secured" all the
rights of the Maritime Canal Company or
whether the Maritime Canal Company has
been snuffed out by its own neglect and
all the concessions have fallen into the
lap of the Cragin-E Eyre-Grace syndicate,
is of more Importance to the stockholders
than the general public, which Is only in
terested in the fact that exclusive con-
| cessions to construct canal across Nica'
ragra are held by syndicate under de-
cree of the Nicaraguan national legisla
| tive assembly, dated Oct. 81 1898, and
signed by Zelaya and Jose Munoz, sub
| Secretary of Public Works.
The decree grants to Edward Eyre and
| Edward +. Cragln exclusive rights TO con
struct an interoceanic canal across Mica
| ragua, provides that they may negotiate
| with the Maritime Canal Company for It's
concessions permits them TO carry on any
| business enterprise in connection with the
canal and provides that they must de-
| post in cash 500 900 at once and 100000
within four months with the government
as security.

Mahetoans for causing the trouble which
brought about this result and vice versa

Aana and SavaH the followers of Mataafa,
chagrined at the new division of the ISL

ents, who had returned to their homes,
must be driven out of those districts
large force of Mataafa men attacked
the homes of the Malietoans, routed the
residents out, set fire to the buildings, and
later drove the inhabitants to saliemoa
On Dec. g. Capt Tilley of the United
States navy notified High Chief Faivie
of the Island of Tutuia. that under the

come under the protection of the United
States.
Capt Tilley assured the chiefs, through
Faivie that the United States would pro-
tect the natives and give them a good
government, and that it would hold the
chiefs responsible for any trouble that
might occur.
