CURRENT TOPICS



In delivering a speech in the senate
the other day Ben Tillman OF South
Carolina paid tribute 10 Lincoln. Re-
ferring TO the Civil War period he
said:
Amid the storm of passion who was
the man, the embodiment of all that
was best and noblest in northern civil
ization, and even in American civiliza-
ton, who stood as the great apostle OF
liberty? Whose words OF fervid elo-
Quenee marshaled the northern hosts?
Whose high moral purpose, whose
grandeur of character and greatness OF
soul, sustained those hosts in adversely
and defeat? Who stood like coloS-
sus towering above the smaller. meaner
men who surrounded him, and who
must ever stand above them, command
ing the admiration and love OF all
true men everywhere? Who? Abra-
ham Lincoln; and |. from South Caro-
lima, tell you so and feel honoTed in
doing it.
Whatever motives may be attributed
10 others, whatever OF selfshnesS or
ambition that entered into the calcu-
Iations of others. here declare it IS
my belief that he never had thought
in connection with the whole subject
nor uttered Il word that did not have
its inspiration in the purest patriotism
and the noblest aspiration for human
ity. He did not consider the Declara-
ton OF Ind pendence IN academic ques-
