SURVIVORS Of the scenes of the civil
war cauuot fail to draw comparisons
when they witness the venerative treat
ment accorded the name of Abraham
Lincoln al this time by the members of
the same organization which heaped OBJ
lousy upon him while performing the
public acts which have given undying
luStre to his memory. Uttering some of
the sentiment that must occasionally as
sert itself on the subject the Brooklyn
Times says: 1t is gratifying, in a degree
to listen to the chorus of praise
that arises every year from Democratic
throats to the memory OF Abraham Lin
coin. 1t is very gratifying to know that
the venom of partisan malice has been
exhausted, so far as Lincoln Is concerned,
and that the memory of that great states
man, loyal, patriotic and g. cd man has
risen above the clouds of malice and de-
traction. But when we reld in perhaps
the most reactionary of Democratic news.
papers that Assembled Democrats De-
mand New Lincoln" it is not easy to
repress the question, "What would they
do with him if he came?" Would he be
ian ape" "a tyrant," a "bloody fool
suffering his maudlin jokes on field of
battle?" These are among the bouquets
that Northern Democrats threw at Abra-
ham Lincoln during his life, and they
are by no means the most unsavory.
Has tAe Democratic party so completely
changed its nature that it would treat a
new Lincoln differently from the treat
ment accorded the original? II is far
from the intention of the Times to inject
any partisan bitterness into the celebrs-
ton of the birthday of Lincoln. But
when those who are still the bitter ene-
mics of the work to which the life of Lin
coin was consecrated, who are constantly
trying to undermine and to undo that
work, utter their effusive tributes to the
man ii is not easy TO forget how relent-
lessly and bitterly they pursued him
during his life.

Proposed Excise Commission.

A bill has been introduced in the House
at Harrisburg, which provides for the Gre
alton of an Excise Commission in each
county for the purpose of granting LIQUOR
licenses and passing upon the transfer of
such licenses after being granted The
bill provides that on the first Monday of
January, 1904. an Excise Commission
shall be constituted in each county to be
composed of three members who shall be
county officers, elected to the office and
commissioned by the Governor, who
shall have the sole control of granting IL
censes for the sale of liquor. Three Ex-
else Commissioners shall be elected at the
general election in 1908 and every third
year thereafter, and electors NAV vote for
but two candidates, thus giving minority
representation. The term shall be three
years and the Governor is empowered to
I'LL all vacancies. Each shall give bond
in the sum Of 81 200; be over 2l years of
age, citizen Of the county and the own
er of real estate, and no person can be
elected or appointed who holds an Office
OF trust or profit under the State or Ma
tional Government. The hearing in tie
applications for license must be public
and held in the county court house, the
Clerk Of the Courts being the Clerk ofth
Commission. This Commission shall
have all he powers now exercised by the
courts in the granting and transferring oi
license, but the courts alone shall have
the power ~ revoke a license. The COM
pensation Of the Commission shall be 81
per annum for each thousand and a part
of thousand Of the population of the
county as shown by the census, and lC
cents mileage. In the matter of applca.
tons for licenses the same course would
be pursued as at present.
Efforts in this direction have been mad,
for several years past but have always
met with failure. 1t is pretty generally
agreed that the law as it now stands, gov
orning the granting Of licenses, is as sat
isfactory as any could be made. Tn,
people as a rule have more faith in tn,
courts than they could have i'm commits
sion such as the new proposition contem

THERE will be two Judges of the Su-
perior Court to elect this year, says the
Philadelphia Press, one to succeed Judge
Morrison, recently appointed, and the
other to succeed the judge who
will be appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Judge WV
Porter. Both will be Republicans for the
provision regarding the election of JUS
tices to the Supreme Court, permitting
the citizen to vote for but one when two
are to be elected, does not apply to the
Superior Court. The probability is that
those appointed will he nominated and
elected to succeed themselves.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given TO
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medical
men have to contend with, can be pre-
vented ny the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack of in
fluenzs (grip), and it has been observed
that this remedy counterscts any tendency
of these diseases toward pneumonia. This
has been fully proven in many thous-
ands of cases in which This cemedy has
been used during the great prevalence of
colds and grip in recent years, and can
he relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a light
cold when no danger is apprehended un-
Ill 1t is suddenly discovered that there is
fever and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as soon rs the cold is con-
trcted. 1t always cures. Sold by Dunn.

A number of Topeka sports were
out to the Cheyenne bottoms las
week and slaughtered the ducks right

in the sight of the new game law, for
the sports to kill ducks by the hum

as baggage, but if some of the local
"small fry hunters should happen to
kill few more birds than they could
use, and should offer them for sale,
they go up against the law. The
new game law looks a good deal like
class legislation.
