AN UNAPPRovED MEMORIAL.
4 Case Where President Lincoln
Oyer-Argucd Colonel Thompson.

Col. Richard W. Thompson was fond of
telling story which, while acknowledged
as a good joke on himself served to IL
lustrate the philosophic wisdom of Presi-
dent Lincoln. After the mott e by the
President in September 1862. of his inten-
ton to publish an emancipation procla-
nation on January l. 1893. considerable
anxiety was manifested as to the possible
effect of such a proclamation On public
sentiment. The Border State men. OF
whom some leaders in Kentucky and Ten
nessee were strong friends of the Union,
We're much concerned and not a little ag
tated lest the Presidents action might
crystallized the entire sentiment of their
States in favor of the Southern Confeder-
acy, and tend to create universal s,mpa-
thy for the armies and the cause of the
South. Most OF these men had been mem
beers of the Wing party up to the time of
its dissolution, and after that were I'oliti-
cal orphans.
Pursuant to personal correspondence
quiet meeting was held at Washington in
December and among those in attendance
were Bell. of Tennessee: Crittenden. of
Kentucky. and Thompson. of Indiana. 1t
was agreed that a memorial should be
drawn and presented to the President.

Administra ton must rely for support and
the great danger NJ antagonizng them by
"a proclamation which would deprive some
of them of valuable property. Having
completed the writing and feeling proud of
it. Colonel Thompson carried the paper TO
the White House and placed it in the
Presidents hands. requesting careful and
profound consideration of the matters
therein set forth.
Having performed a self-imposed duty
with appropriate solemnity. the commit
tee tarried in Washington, waiting to hear
from their memorial and expecting to be
summoned 10 the Executive Mansion for
examination; but the President gave no
sign. After about ten days Colonel Thomp-
son met Mr.. Lincoln one night at social
function. and having been accorded brief
private interview. opened the conversation
with Mr. President. did you read the me-

His conclusion was unanswerable. There
was no exception in the proclamation. and

GENERAL HARRIsoN's VALET.

Developments show that he made the most
CT his advantages. During the last three
weeks of their stay in Paris Mrs. Har-
rison was daily expecting several drafts
for various amounts dividends from some
investments. The orders for money never
reached her however and she concluded
that probably there we're business reasons
which made it advisable for the company
to withhold the drafts until she returned
TO America.
Then the general suddenly found out
that pocketbook containing $40 was miss
ing. He did not think il possible that a
thief had broken into the house. and de-
cided that he must have lost the money
somewhere The smooth and eyer-cOn-
slant valet was not even suspected. Mrs
Harrison was astonished the other day 10
find that the drafts that had never reached
her had been cashed in Paris, with her
name written across their backs-not in
her own handwriting, but in chirography
that much resembled hers. And then she
remembered the valet-the polished young

A CoLoNIZING SCHEME.



The Russian Government is al present
engaged in carrying out an extensive
scheme of emigration TO the Far East.
With a view to encourage this movement
The fares on the Siberian Railway have
been fixed at a merely nominal figure the
fare from Kien to Khabarovsk being re-
duced far below the limits of profit. Il has
offered these facilities in order to divert the
emigrant tr4tfc from the volunteer fleet to
the railways. with the intention of retain
ing their vessels exclusively for the trans
mort of troops, large numbers of whom are
constantly being shipped from Odessa.
Thousands Of peasants, especially from the
famine stricken districts. are availing
themselves OF these advantages. and will
leave for the Usuri region during the com

rubIes will receive on arrival plot of land
gratis. besides being accorded other special
privileges. such as exemption from taxa

Five cruisers and one large vessel of the

Tnt PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN.

The conduct of the campaign in the Philippines in future will be character- ized, according to Herald dispatch, by the extreme harshness of the treat ment of the rebels.
 This so-called new phase of the affair is necessitated by the long continued and determined struggle put up by the Filipinos in their misguided and very wroRg attempt to regain freedom which they are ignorant enough to con sider themselves entitled to, thus dis carding the efforts of this nation to endow them with portion of that glo- rious freedom and progressive civiliza- tion acceded to all colonies and territo- rial possessions held under this flag.
 Thus the future fighting will show that, according to these dispatches, no mercy will be extended to those in act. i've rebellion or who give aid and com fort to the insurgents.
 As the Spanish regime, with its gen tie and religious persuasion, failed to bring these people within the folds of its mild and liberal rule, we are about to prove the efficacy and persuasive logic of the bayonet, factor now of our eivilizing influence and an, essen tial concomitant of the flag and consti- tuition, as one follows the other, or both go together in the extension of our empire, and the gracious granting of the blessings that are to be the DOT tions of our foreign brethren when they submit, or are persuaded eventually to submit, to our benehcent rule.l

 nowledge of it. There is that iu the Spirit of the West that is ever change. ful, ever strikingly original, In tho west nothing palls. Nothing grows stale.
 Life, like the eternal mountains may be rocky, steep, forbidding in aspect, but what a magnificent panorama un- folds before the vision of him who is so fortunate as to be permitted to look down upon the tortuous trails, the fear ful chasms, the dizzy pinnacles, above and beyond which he has successfully made his way.
 If one wants to have new revelation of this wonder of growth and develop ment, let him take a little journey into the heart of the mountains, where men are delving deep, searching for hidden wealth.
 Men suffer privations, they undergo hardships, today as they did half cen tury ago; it is different in some ways, but there is the same ceaseless strug- gle, the same indomitable determina- tion to conquer nature's obstacles, that characterized the men who in our fathers days put the steel circle around the world and created 8 new universe, in which there is no east, no west, in the old sense of isolation, but a unity of purpose that is changing the sub stance and circumstance of the world. -El Paso Herald.

SPIRIT or THE WEST.

The men who do things-the pion- eers. The theme is an old one, yet ever new. It is the spirit of the west this pushing, striving accomplishing of deeds that count for something. No one can go into one of our multitude of mining camps without having this phase of life in the southwest thrust npon him in some new way.
 It is made clearer how the west has been built up--how from seemingly barren plains and hills, over which wild IEdian bands and animals almost as wild held uncontested sway, has been created new and wonderful world, full of bustling life and aggress- i've activity.
 The pioneer-the world is frought with new meaning now, it is true Thsre is no more fighting of Indians, The wild beasts are rare and are afraid of man. But there is the earth to be conquered.
 Esrth's treasures must be wrested from the strong boxOs that have held them for untold ages. Cities are to be built. Railroads are to be pushed into regions that have only known the howl of the coyote and the yell of the say age. Civilization is to be developed, and there is new civilization for each new clearing in the wilderness.
 The wonder of it increases with the

SPECIAL coRREspoNDENCE. !

How many of you wonder remem-
ber the "Phernandewud' Fernando
Wood of "The new Gospel OF Peace"
published here just after the war and
during the Tweed regime. 1t was
one OF the most powerful satires ever
issued, and not only Fernando Wood,
but his brother, Benjamin Wood, who
died here last week, was lampooned
without mercy. The latter owned
and ran the Daily News here and made
great sums of money, which he spent
freely He loved cards better than
business, and spent much of his time
at one of the clubs, where he lost at
cards much OF the money he made in
business. He was bitter partisan
in politics, savage and vicious, but in
private life was most likeable. There
was time when Ben Wood came near
going to Fort Lafayette because of the
reasonable utterances of the Daily
News, and when that sheet was ex-
cluded from the mails; then for a
little while he and his paper seemed
to be regarded as important, in the
stross of the war for the Union, and
in the fight of the draft riots of 1863.
He was a sailor in his youth, made
money then and afterward in the West
India trade, bought the young Daily
News and ran it in the interest Of
Douglas in 1860, and from 1861 to
1865 served in Congress, being one
of the "copperhead members. 1n
1880 he was again elected to Con.
gress.
