WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN.

The greatest names in American his
tory are Washington and Lincoln. One
is forever associated with the mae
pendence of the states and the forma-
ton Of the federal union, the other
with the universal and the preserva-
ton of that union. Washington en-
forced the declaration of independence
as against England, Lincoln proclaimed
its fulfillment, not only to a down.
trodden race in America, but to all
people, for all those who may seek the
protection of our flag. These illus
trious men achieved grander results for
mankind within a single century-from
1875 to 1S65-than any men ever &C
complished in all the years since first
the fight of time began. Washington
engaged in no ordinary revolution.
With him it was not who should rule,
but what should rule. He drew his
sword, not for a change of rulers upon
an established throne, but to establish
a new government which should ac-
knowledge no throne but the tribune OF
the people. Lincoln accepted war to
save the union. the safeguard OF our

her eldest boy that she might have
some one to support her. Lincoln's
heart responded to the appeal, and he
replied: Certainly, if you have given
us all, and your prop has been taken
away, you are justly entitled to one OF
your boys"
The poor woman went away light OF
heart, only to return later. tearfully
begging the release of her second son.
The discharge of the first son had come
too late. He was killed before it
reached him. Sadly Lincoln sat down
and wrote the requisite ordar for the
release of the second son. and rising,
handed the paper to the afflicted wom-
an. saying: Now you have one and
l have one of the two boys left; that is
no more than right" Weeping with
JOY, the poor mother blessed Lincoln
and hurried out to send her precious

1t is semi-ofiicially announced that
the government Of Russia at the request
of the government of Persia, and in
view of the good relations between the
two governments, has authorized the
loan bank of Persia to take up the loan
of %. 5000, 900 roubles about to be issued
in Persia under the designation of the
> per cent Persian gold loan of 1900
The loan bank. therefore. has contracted
TO take the loan, which is repayablc in
- years, guaranteed by all the Persian
customs receipts except the revenues
of the customs Office of FAIRS and the
custom houses of the Persian gulf. In
the event of delay in the payments
the loan bank will have the right to
control the custom houses. There is .
widespread idea in London that the
Persian loan has finally accomplished
Russia's long-laid plans to obtain COM
plete political and financial control of
Persia, with the double object of GUST
ing the British and assuring Russia an
outlet on the Persian gulf.

state to Name Presidential Electors.

Secretary Dick, of the national Re-
publican committee, is sending out let
tiers to all state members of the COM
mittee requesting that the presidential
electors be named by the state and not
the district convention. The supreme
court of Maine has decided that, under
the Australian ballot system, man
must be nominated by as large con-
stitucncy as that which is necessary to
elect him. All district presidential
electors are voted for in q bunch by all
the people of the state, hence it will be
necessary to comply with this construc-
ton to have state conventions nomi-
mated Maj. Dick says the electors will
probably be named by district conven-
tions as now but state action is neces-
sary to confirm or ratify the nomina-
tions. This really takes it out of the
hands of any district to name its man
if the others in the state convention do
not want the one named.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

The diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill was finally agreed on by
the house committee on foreign affairs
on the LIST. 1t carries n total of 81, 7f6,-
476. against S1,7l1, 533 last year, and
81. s05, S4s estimated by the state de-
partment. The $4,000 heretofore re-
quired for United States participation
in the tripartite government OF Samoa
is dropped owing to the partition of
the islands. The SO, 900 for reports of
the intercontinental railway project
also is omitted as the work has been
wound up.
The house committee on territories
practically completed the Hawaiian
bill on the Goth Several important
changes were made in the measure.
The chief of these is the striking out
of all property qualifications for cleo
tors for the senate, Another change
eliminates the supervision given to the
supreme court OF Hawaii over elections
in the senate and house ard makes
each house the judge of its own cleo
tons. The omission of the property
qualification for electors is in the in
terest of the natives.
Mr.. Clayton (Ala.) on the Goth intro
duced the following resolution: Re
solved, That on July /, 1900, the mill
tary and naval forces of the United
States be withdrawn from the island
Of Cuba and that the government
thereof be left to the Cuban people.
Resolved, further, That the President
of the United States be, and he hereby
is. directed TO make proclamation OF
this resolution and all proper orders
for the execution thereof
The house committee on mileage on
the LIST rejected the claim of Brigham
II. Roberts, of Utah, for mileage in
connection with his contest for Il seat
in the house Mr.. Roberts put in a
claim for mileage from Salt Lake City
To Washington. 2,597 miles, and return,
at the usual rate of 20 cents mile
each way, making total of 81 ,030. 80.
The house committee on mileage on
the 20th discussed the claim of Brig
ham II. Roberts for mileage, which
amounts to about 81 900. \ majority
of the committee are of the opinion
that he is not entitled TO this money,
as he was not sworn in as "a mem Der OF
the house.
The house committee on insular af-
fairs has favorably reported the senate
bill giving Cuban vessels the most fav-
orcd nation rights in American ports.

One of Mr.. Lincoln's characteristics
was his ineffabie tenderness toward
others, says the Springfield Repub-
lican. He wrote injuries in the sand,
benefits on marble. The broad man
tie of his enduring charity covered a
multitude of sins in soldier. he
loved justice with undying and solicit
Gus affection, but he hated every de-
serter from the great army of human
fly. He was lowered with the love OF
love.
He was always equal to the occa-
sion, whether saving a sleeping SEN
tinel by one stroke of the pen from a
dishonored grave or writing that bold
and steady signature to the proclama-

New York Tribune: II heard a cap
ital story last night" said George
Cabel Of st. Louis at the Hoffman
House. Years ago in western from
tier town a traveller, footsore and
weary, arrived one afternoon. and
made his way down the one street of
the burg. He was suddenly startled
by the sounds OF shots. and looking I'D
discovered four men shooting at one
another. The men were standing at
the four corners of an imaginary
square, and each shooting at the man
catacorner to him. Being in what he
supposed safe position he paused to
watch the outcome of the fray, when
bullet going wide of its intended
mark, cut by his ear. That reused his
wrath. and drawing his pistol he drop
ped the man in his tracks who had
all but dropped him. Another bullet
flying wide from its mark, but near
to the stranger, caused him to lay out
one OF the other pair, and the two re-
naming men sought safety in flight.
In that particular town duels had been
previously comparatively harmless
amusement, owing to the poor marks
manship of the contestants, but the
man who could shoot had arrived, and
the inhabitants, although they turned
out to greet him in a body and grant
him the freedom of the city. did so in
manifest awe and trepidation. When
ever he told the story afterward he
used to wind it up impressively by
saying: And, boys. in that town after

own grand words:

dress today. Mr.. Hartman was seen
by reporter at the Washington hotel

tertainingly, both concerning the pros
poets of his party and matters in gen.
eral. When questioned as to whether
he was to hold meeting here as had
been announced, Mr.. Hartman said
that he did not intend to speak here
but was just stopping over to make
connection for Hiteman.
Quite a number of his party follow
ers called on Mr.. Hartman yesterday
evening at the hotel. Concerning his
party he said that it was compare
lively new organization, but that he
was having excellent success wher.
ever he went and that by the time Of
the fall election they would have the
party instituted in three-fourths of the
states of the union. He said that
there were now about thirty members
of the party in Ottumwa. Mr.. Harri

a very agreeable manner of carrying

Weaver has been making inquiries |
among eastern manufacturers as TO

cago firm. Two grades of suits will
be supplied, one costing SILT and the
other $3.50. The cost of the rough
rider coats is estimated to be from so
cents to 81. The trousers will cost GO
cents, leggins, army style, with lace

campaign is going to be the music
which will be in constant use. Del

work of the campaign, and nearly
every day, at headquarters, he is -e-
ceiving one or more samples of new
campaign music. Much of it is first

large variety of new music to use dur
ing the campaign. A good many of
the songs are set to popular music
and the words are confined to local

One that will be sung to the music
of Because l Love You" is entitled
Cato Sells Lament" and tells of his
love for silver. There are many glee
club being formed and there will be

at all meetings.
For parade purposes at rallies dur
ing the campaign it is probable this
year that the acetylene torches will
be the lights used. Advertising matter
