AS LINCOLN SAW 1T.

Abraham Lincoln said a great many
things which furnish imperialists food
for reflection these days. One Of his
axioms was this:
The principle Of self government is
right-absolutely and eternaIly right"
Another was as follows:
mo man is good enough to govern
another man without that others con-
sent. say this is the leading princi-
Dle. the sheet-anchor of American re-
publcanism.
Furthermore. he said that when one
race undertakes to rule another with
out that others consent, 1T is despot-
ism"
Lincoln was a patriot when he gave
utterance to these truths forty years
ago. He would be a patriot today if
he were alive and uttered them. This
is what Bryan says. 1t is the position
of the Democratic party
When we undertake to pass upon the
fitness of the Filipino for self-govern-
ment and set ourselves up to govern
the brown man of the tropics because
of racial. superiority" we are doing
what Lincoln denounced as wrong.
To use his own expression. cit is

FINAL ACTION ON CONTEST CASES.
Principal Alabama Contests Ordered

Committee Col. Swords Resigns
as SerHeant-EtArmx

Philadelphia, June The national
republican committee has again de-
cided to refer the principal contests in
the state of Alabama to the convention,
to be investigated by the committee on
credentials. The leaders thought Sat
urday that they had succeeded in secur-
ing an agreement for the elimination of
the otficeholders and the seating of an
equal number Of men from the two
delegations to make full representa-
ton from the state. Obstacles were.
however, found in the way of this pro-
ceeding in large part of the state.
and when the matter was taken up in
the committee Monday that body de-
cided to put none of the delegates from
the state at large or from the Third
and Fifth districts on the temporary
roll. # .@
After an hours sitting, the commit
tee concluded it's ante-convention la
bors and adjourned sine die. Aside
from the action taken on the Alabama
contest, the most important matter
which came before the committee at
Mondays meeting was the resignation

The Unsteady North Pole.

Although the inhabitants of the
earth are not perceptibly affected by
the wandering motion of the north
pole, yet it is a phenomenon of unceas-
ing interest to astronomers, and on
January new plan for investigating
it went into effect, says Youths Coma
panion. The motion, which IS sugges-
tive of the wabbling of top, is ex-
tremely slight when the vast size Of
the earth is taken into account. Since
1890 the north pole has never been
more than IS feet away from the place
it should occupy if the earth's axis
of revolution never varied in direction.
But the motion is erratic, and its cause
is obscure. The new plan of observa-
ton was formed by the International
Geodetic association. It provides four
observing stations, all close to the
thirty-ninth degree of north latitude.
and all within 500 feet of the same
parallel. These are at Midzusawa,
Japan; Carloforte, Sardinia; Gathers
burg, Md, and Ukiah, Cal. Precisely
similar observations with exactly the
same kind of zenith telescopes viii be
made at each station on carefully Sc
1ected stars. Any change in the direc-
ton Of the pole reveals itself by shift
Of the stars.
