"reminiscences Of a. kincoln
AND HIS BURDENS

derful energies to bear In preserv-
ing the Union.
But this mighty task was not all
the people imposed upon him. They
greatly increased his burdens, even
his warm, loyal friends continually
worrying him by making calls to
ask foolish questions and to impress
upon him their opinions on state
and army matters. To our boys
who were on duty there, the Presi-
dent seemed to never sleep or have
moments time that he could call
his own, and it really appeared that
it would be impossible for him to
bear up under the load for any
length of time. Day and night Of
ficers of the army and navy, of the
government and of congress, would
be closeted with him, then army
and navy contractors, and citizens
generally, and judges of the United
States courts, and state officers, all
contrived to have important bust
ness to discuss with the President.
Union men came begging him to
send troops to such and such place
10 strengthen the Union sentiment
or to save Union mems property.
Fathers, mothers, wives and sweet
hearts all came to get their sons,
husbands, and lovers, who were SOL
diers and in trouble, released or set
free. This, the President said, was
his hardest task. His heart bled
for all tn ose in trouble, and the
fearful pleadings of parents and
friends were many times heartrend-
ing to him, and generally prevailed,
yet the President knew that order
and discipline must be maintained
in the army and navy. Then there
were hosts of men and women who
came to see Lincoln-honest souls
because, as they said, they knew
''he was a common man and would
not refuse to see common folks. "
Others stated that they called to see
Lincoln because they wanted to see
chow a rail-splitter would look sit
ting in the presidents chair"
All these and many more were
continually attempting to force
themselves into the presence of the
president. He desired to see all
whom he could assist in any laud-
able undertaking, or on legitimate
business, but his work was so great
that he could not crafty the idle
curiosity of the many nor listen to
the trivial matters of others. But
any one with worthy object or
real business would be admitted to-.
the President, by his orders, as
SOC n as it were possible to do so.
AS Lincoln expressed it: al want
to see all persons who come to me
in their troubles, and if l can, con-
sistently with my duty to the coun-
try, alleviate their condition, 1 am
glad to do so. Some of my callers
come to encourage me in the work
of saving the Union, and these, of
course, it is pleasure for me to see
when l can. Others, good people,
too, come to object to something /
have done or to demonstrate with
me for neglecting to do something
they deem of great Importance; and
few come to try to learn my plans
with regard to putting down the re-

The Chanute Fair and Driving Park
Association will hold fair this year
just as though the pumpkins were as
large as wash tubs. Almost all the
fairs IN this circuit have been called
off, and for that reason Chanute ought
to have the largest fair she has ever
held.
Arrangements are being made for
the most attractive races that have
ever been pulled off in this circuit.
The finest agricultural display pos
sible will be made.
All kinds of amusements will be on
hand, and the dates Sept. Sd to 9Th,
should be set apart by everybody for
going to the fair and having good
time.
Let everybody take hold and lend a
hand towards making the fair sue
cess.
A few men are devoting great
deal of time to this matter, and every
effort will be put forth by them TO
make it a success. 1t is not right that
they should do 1t all. We all want a
fair in Uhanute and want the grounds
maintained and still further beauti-
ed and improved. They are a credit
and benefit to the city and to the
community.
Then let us all say we will have the
best fair we have ever had. Be not
crushed or disheartened by slight mis-
haps, but rise above discouraging con-
ditions and let's surprise the natives.

~ that was placed on Lin
! EVWM coin by electing him to
@ the Presidency, when we
reflect on the condition
of the country at that time: A
bankrupt treasury; the small army
scattered over the most distant ter
ritories of the country; the smaller
navy dispersed over the waters of
foreign countries, and the arsenals
empty of munitions of war, or stock
ed with worthless, obsolete arms;
the country convulsed with gigan-
tic rebellion, the greatest of all time
since the apostasy, which we are
told, took place in heaven. Open
sympathy with treason and rebellion
were to be met with everywhere.
Every department of the govern
ment was more or less affected, and
the governors of several Northern
states were at first rather luke-warm
in their loyalty. Prominent men, in
congress and in the army and navy,
were advocating the policy of allow
ing the "wayward sisters to with
draw from the Union in peace. "
Many men at that time, who were
known as Union men, were condl-
tional Unionists. If their States
did not withdraw from the Union,
they would, so they said, remain
loyai-men who claimed the gov
ernment chad no right to coerce a
sovereign State;" men who talked
about the "great crime of placing
rall-splitter at the head of the gov
ernment;" men who argued in
groupes on the streets, in the stores
.an1 even in churches, that this was
"a black abolition war that would
damn the country, and they didn't
care If it did," 1t is singular now
to note that this class of men who
were railing at Lincoln for being a
"common rail.splitter," are the fell
lows now engaged in shouting elm
perialistl" and "Empire!" of the
present administration. When we
remember these facts we can form
some idea of the task imposed on
Lincoln. Yet be set his face like
the Rock of Gibraltar, to save the
country, and brought all his won

ability enough but were too vicious
or indolent to accomplish anything,
and with all our efforts they could
not be made to progress.
The Democratic party seems to
be constituted very much like the
latter class of boys.
1t doesn't seem to have learned
anything during the last hundred
years. In fact, it seems more be-
nighted and ignorant of the funda
mental laws of government than in
the days of its infancy.
1t has learned nothing, nor has it
prohted by past experience.
The bitter experiences the Ameri-
can people have passed through
during the several periods of free
trade or "tariff for revenue only"
should be enough to cause any po
litical party to shuddel at their mere
mention.
But not so with the Democratic
party.
In their convention in Ohio re-
Gently the Democrats declared for
the suppression of the tariff and in
favor of a tariff for revenue only.
1t does seem strange that these fel-
lows, with the example of the fear
full results of their theories as ex-
empli6ed during the Cleveland re-
gime, should again start the clamor
for low tariff. 1t does seem that
any reasoning man who has studied
the history of his country knows
that these theories, whenever put
into effect, have been disastrous to
the interests of this country, espec-
tally to the labor interests.
Still the Democratic leaders, lost
for an issue, seem determined to re-
vive the old slogan and force it to
the front in the coming campaign.
Such a course is an insult to the in
telligence of this country and can
but result in disaster to the party
adopting it. 1t is simply presum-
ing on the ignorance of the masses
and attempting to hold their votes
on the lines of old traditions and
prejudices.
The leaders of the Democracy
have learned the bitter lessons OF
free trade and are no more in favor
of it than are the Republicans, yet
for the sake of power they are will
ing to stultify themselves and at
tempt to mislead the people.
But it won't work.
Labor has been too we'll employ
ed and too generously paid during
the years of Republican protection
to be again deceived and taken in
by the old Democratic cry of "Free
Trade and Sailors Rights"
Secretary Coburn again scored
point for Kansas and rebuked one of
her traducers in high place, when
he gave Secretary Wilson of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture such
lambasting for not giving Kansas
proper credit as corn producing
state. If the people of Kansas know
their duty and do their pleasure
they will make that man Coburn
governor of the state he loves so
we'll and serves so faithfully.

DelllOn or TO secure tne necessary
money to carry on the war. Now,
this latter class, it is no use for
them to come here, .as | cannot do
anything for them; and for those
who just come to see and talk with
the President, because they happen
to be in the city, l must say that,
while l would like to crafty and
please them, yet l have hardly the
time to spare to see the members of
my family. We have set our hands
to the plow to save the Union, and
until that is accomplished all per-
sonal considerations must be set
aside"
Abou. the only rest the President
allowed himself was to secretly slip
away for few minutes walk In the
grounds. Yet on all these occasions
he was cheerful and hopeful, and
firm in his conviction that the Union
would be preserved and In the JUS
tice of the cause in which he and
the country were engaged. Occa-
sionally when he came out to take
turn or two about the grounds he
would appear unusually depressed
in spirits and his face would show
great mental suffering. Then he
would walk in a feeble, almost un-
conscious, way for short time, and
then exclaim: ooh, Sergeant, how
good and comforting it is to know
that God lives and relgns over the
destinies of men and of nations?
There are so many men of little
faith who doubt that the Union can
be saved, or mistrust the measures
proposed by the government for its
preservation. Now, l cannot doubt,
if we follow the light that God has
set before us to blaze out the way.
cannot doubt the justice of our
cause or the overruling providence
of Almighty God. To do so, to me,
is sin. Yet, strangely, many good
people seem so to do. | believe
that this nation is to be tried as by
fire, and that the dross of human
slavery, and the doctrine of states
rights, with the heresy of secession,
Will be forever obliterated, consum-
ed and blotted out, and that, under
God, this people are being prepared
for better things, a higher destiny,
larger life, and for far wider
sphere of usefulness and duties in
the great family of nations of the
earth. This, Sergeant, is the ground
whereon l stand, endeavoring to
work out the will and plans of Him
who orders and rules all things for
the best"
His countenance would then as
sumo its usual expression and his
spirits their accustomed tone.
Won't Learn.
AS a school teacher we had to
deal with all kinds of boys, with all
kinds of dispositions and inclina-
tions, and with all degrees of men
tai activity.
We had boys who were willing to
learn but seemed to lack capacity.
They worked hard and were obedl-
ent in every way, but somehow they
could never keep up with their
work. We always had a great deal
of sympathy for this class and gave
them our best efforts.
We had another class that had
