WHERE LINCOLN GOT THE PHRASE

William H. Herndon, Lincolns law
partner, knew Theodore Parker we'll and
had much correspondence with him, and
after the Lincoln Douglas debate he came
on to Boston and saw Parker and other
anti-slavery men. with an eve to Lin
coins political prospects, Going back to
Springfield. he took with him some of
Parkers newer sermons and addresses.
Lincoln" (Col H., p. 65), was lecture
Lincoln (Vol. H., n. IS, twas a lecture
on The Effect of Slavery on the Ameri-
can People which was delivered in the
Music Hall. Boston, and which l gave to
Lincoln, who read and returned it. He
liked especially the following expression,
which he marked with a pencil, and which
he in substance afterward used in his
Gettysburg address: Democracy is direct
self government, over all the people, by
all the people, for all the people. The
address referred to (Parker's last great
anti-slavery address) was delivered July
4, 1858
Here, submit, was the probable origin
of Lincoln's phrase. In one variant or
another it was a great favorite with
Parker, often taking the exact form that
Lincoln gave it, with his sure intuition
of the best where there was any choice
of words. In a speech delivered by Par
ker in 1850 we find it imbedded in a pas
sage which might have been the inspira-
ton of Stewards famous "irrepressible
conflict" or Lincolns "house divided
against itself" a view to which Parker
continually required. In two other
speeches it stands government of all the
people, by all the people, for all the peo-
ple.'' Its earliest appearance that l have
discovered in his writings is in letter
to Rev. Samuel ]. May, in 1876, where it
is simply government of all, by ALL for
all. From "A More Probable Origin of
Famous Lincoln Phrase" by John White
Chadwick. in the American Monthly Re-
view of Reviews for March.

THE THORNTON sTANDARDIzING TRIAL
The Official Run Will Take Place on Next
Monday.
(By the Associated Press

Annapolis, Md, March 29.-The official
standardizing screw trial of the torpedo
boat Thornton took place today on the
Barren Island course, on Chesapeake
Bay. According to contract requirements,
the boat should have attained a speed of
&c knots, but even under the unfavorable
conditions of a heavy sea and a high
northwest wind maximum of 1872 knots
was reached and an average of 27.55.
Slight mishaps are expected on tests of
this character, where the machinery is
placed under greatest strain, but the
Thornton finished in perfect condition. In
exceeding the contract speed by 155
knots the record for torpedo boats in this
respect was broken. The two hours Off
cial run will take place Monday.

Incline your eye and bend your ear on
next Tuesday. There be interest and mo-
tion there.
Men are again on the hunt for office.
Their souls are stirred with the desire
for power. They all have one hope-the
City Hall.
And it's worth the voters while to give
an hours thought to this thing, to the
end that the city may have just and
righteous government.
There are plenty of candidates, to be
sure. For days good timber (and some
not SO good has been springing up all
around US, while friends of the various
candidates have been pulling on the ropes
of influence and pulling at politics like
common sailors.
And the end is not yet! Even today
some of the less religious will casually
mention the matter, and tomorrow moth
ing else will be talked of or thought of,
and the ever-present enquiry will be:
who are you going to vote for?''
On Tuesday the voting will be done.
AS | say, there are plenty of candidates
