FROM LINCOLN TO HANNA.

If the spirit Of the Immortal and be,
loved Abraham Lincoln had looked down
on the expansion orators in the United
States who recently gathered at various
places to celebrate the anniversary of the
great martyrs birth. he would have been
sorely perplexed. Instead OF hearing
speeches adapted TO present day conditions
and IN accord with his teachlngs and his
life-work he would have heard a Chauncoy
Mitchell Depew eulogizlng a usurper and
advocating the claims OF a man who boldly
adjourned tbe legislature of a sovereign
State at the muzzle OF double-shotted
guns Because that legislature was not in
accord with dictator! II the dead prosl
dent had been guest at any of these
meetings and had dared quote some of
the epigramnatlo sentences and axioms
from his former remarks he would have
been squelched in short order. Lincoln
faced arduous conditions once. conditions
when great minds differed on what con-
situated civil liberty, and he met them
boldly. His words, spoken thirty years
ago, ring today as clear as a sllvery bell;
mo man is good enough to govern another
man without that others consent, say this
is the leading principle, the Rheet-anchor OF
American republioansm. When the white
man governs himself that is solfgoyern-
ment; but when he governs himself aud alst
governs another man, that Is more than self
eovernment--that is despotsm. Our rollancs
Is In the love OF liberty which God has
planted in us, Our defense is In the spiri,
which prizes liberty as the heritage OF all
men In all lands, everywhere. Those who
deny freedom to others deserve Il not fol
themselves, and under a just God can not
long retain IT,"
Compare. IL YOU please these wise. pa
triotic and unselhsh words, breathing as
they do the spirit of The brotherhood OF
man, and the fatherhood OF God, with
the pyroteehnical grafton OF any of the
expansion nabohs, and thea decide wheth-
or "old Abe" would be political ultland-
er in the party that he made, to some
extent, decent. He reflected more honor
on 1t, in one moment than any of it's
members Of the present day will ever be
able to reflect did they live a thousand
centuries. II has been long, muriy
trail, has this trip from Lincoln Ia
Hanna. but it has been made by the & O.
p. What will be the result?

~ everywhere. Are we to understand
that since the blessed victory of benevo-
lent assimilation has been tied TO the
shores Of the Gem Of the Antilles and
hooked there by the Honorable Marcus
Aurelius Hanna's toy grapnel. that the
Cuban children are to revise their the
ology as well as their language? Are
our providential territorial acquisitions to
be forced TO sing Hannacratic doxologies
as well as to forget the soft. sweet ac-
cents OF their mother tongue?
II so, why not revise the Ten Command
ments. amend the Declaration OF indie
nendence and declare Hanna the heir ap-
parent to the throne in the new Jerusa-
lem? This seems to be the trend of events

SHOOTING or YOUNG COPELAND.
was Fired on from Ambush by an
Unknown Assassin.

Beeville, Texas, February ls--Ihc
shooting of young Sam Copeland in the
northern part of this county yesterday
afternoon was the most cowardly attempt
at assassination ever perpetrated in the
county. Young Copeland was riding along
the road, when some one hidden behind a
clump of bushes through which a port
hole for the passage of the shot had been
cut, fired on him with a shotgun. He
was hit by nine bullets, two in the aono-
men. three in the breast, one in the neck
one in the head, one in the face and one
In the right arm. When the shot was
fired his horse wheeled and ran, and he
did not fall of until he had been carried
a half mile from the scene of the shoot
ing. He was found where he fell about an
hour after the shooting and carried to
farm house abaut a mile distant, where
he was attended by a physician from this
city last night. He was still alive at l
o'clock this evening, but not expected to
recover.
No arrests have yet been made, though
several parties are under surveillance.
