ATTENTION..

The first number of the Recon
structive Review, 1.-The Voice of the
Carpet Bagger," has just been is
sued. 1t is for sale by the Anti
Lynching Bureau, No. 1899 Princeton
avenue, Chicago. The author, whose
name is not yet made public, pro-
poses to continue the work in a regu-
lar series. He is evidently familiar
with the history of the Reconstruction
period and exposes the SANDERS in
vented by Southern Democrats to
blacken the character and destroy the
influence of the loyal men, white and
black, who tried to maintain the cause
of justice and equal rights in the
South. The story of the bloody times
when the Ku Klux and White League
gained power by deliberate and sys-
tematic murder will be told in future
issues. The high standard of civil
izalion of which the South boasts is
illustrated by the horrible scenes
where American citizens without
trial, without proof, are shot or hung,
or burned alive.
Every friend of law and justice
should read the Reconstruction Re-
view.

during war times. When Lincoln was
eiecteo Hay was clerk and student in
the law office of Senator Cullom. Mic
olay was IN the office Of the secretary
OF state. Lincoln took Hay and Nico-
| lay to Washington with him.
1t is Senator Cullom's idea to have
memorial to Lincoln which will rank
with the Washington monument as
one of the landmarks of the, capital
and OF the country. He believes Lin
coin will go down in history as one of
the country's greatest men, and Sec
ond only to Washington. He believes
the memorial should be created with
view only to getting the finest thing
In an artistic way that can be had, re-
CARELESS of expense.
Speaking of his Lincoln memorial
bill, Senator Cullom said:
Il have long had the matter in mind,
but things have continued to come up
to engross the attention of the coun-:
try and Of me. First it was the Span-
lsh-American war, and then: it was
something else. Now 1 believe the
time has::comee when the country will
be+glad to take an interest in this SUBJ
ject.. am little sorry it appears to
come on the heels of the McKinley
memorial enterprise But do not
think there will be any conflict be-
tween the two. This is a matter. of
congress, and it will not interfere
with the plans to erect a*memorial at
Canton by individual subscription.
Nor do I think it will clash with, the
plans of certain Washington people to
erect an arch at. the entrance of the
bridge over. the Potomac. /
am not particularly impressed with
the properiety of that method of per-
petuating the memory of Mckinley,
but have no objection if they like it,,

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL.

Senator Cullom is receiving all
kinds of encouragement in his effort
to secure some sort of a fitting me-
mortal to Abraham Lincoln. What he
wants at present is a commission of
three to secure designs for the me-
mortal. 1t is expected that the senate
will give early and favorable consider
alton to his bill, which seeks to appro-
pirate $4,000 and to name as COM
mlssioners Secretary of War Root,
Secretary of State Hay, and Senator
Warren, who is the committee on Ii
brary, which is the standing commit
tee which has to do with monuments
which are erected on government soil.
John Hay naturally takes a particu-
lar interest in the memorial enterprise.

to the colored people, and it is the
duty of the white folks to see that the

claiming he saved the cities of Wash.
ingtOn and Baltimore from capture
during the Civil war. Lekins says he
had to leave Baltimore because of his
disclosures which placed his life in
danger and that he had to leave valu-
able property. Lekins claims he was
waiter in the Fountain Hotel in
1868 and while in the discharge of
his duties he overheard a conversa-
ton which revealed General Lees
plans to capture Washington and
Baltimore. He reported to the au-
thorities what he had heard and
