April IA, 1865-19O3.

Thirty-eight years ago Abraham Lincoln
was assassinated in this city while sitting
at the play. in the old theater on Tenth
street. now occupied by government Office.
Despite the lapse of years no man can yet
fully estimate the effect of that pistol shot
upon the history of the nation. Had Lin
coin lived to administer the affairs of the
country during the four years of his second
term. more trying In their problems even
than the four years of actual warfare. the
reunion of the sections might have been
more speedily and more surely accom-
plished. Present-day difficulties might have
been avoided. Lincoln sympathized with
the south even while he was delivering
thunderbolts to force it into subsection to
the principles for which the north was
fighting. He regarded the war as a bitter
necessity. and he proposed to make the
lesson a thorough one. He refused to con-
slider compromises. Nothing was settled,
he had said, until 1t is settled right.
Whether he would have regarded enfran-
chisement as wise or unwise, he would
have been enabled to approach that ques-
ton amid the Commissions of reconstruction
with not only a calmer judgment than those
who took up his work, but with the country
in calmer frame of mind than was pos
sible after his assassination. The south
was more sorely hit by the blow which
killed Lincoln than was the north, and
when the news of Booths crime spread
through the states south of Mason and
Dixon's line this sentiment prevailed among
the most intelligent, and later became
dominant as the truth was revealed.

The Presidents
Picture.

From. Washington to Roosevelt.
The portraits of the Presidents were
made from the most authentic
originals. The clothing accurately
represents the style of the period in
which each lived. The background
is made up of a splendid series of
typical scenes in American history,
dissolving one into another, be-
ginning with the Liberty Bell and
closing with Admiral Dewey's vic
tory at Manila. These are all in
dicated in margin at top of picture.
In the margin under each President
is placed the name, date of birth,
Inauguration and death. The posing
and arranging, according to critics
and press, could not have been more
perfect from an artistic point of
view, had the Presidents been
grouped in life. Every American
home, every lover of art and every
patriotic American should own this
magnificent photogravure reproduc-
ton OF this famous oil painting.

The Post Office Investigation.

Postmaster General Payne's straightfer-
ward statement of his intention to pursue
the post office investigation to a finish
ought to reassure the rather hysterical
critics who have lately been proclaiming
in advance of the proof the existence of
official corruption as great as that re-
vealed by the star route inquiry of some
years ago and an official determination to
keep from the public the facts in the case
AS matters now stand certain charges OF
misconduct in Office have been fled and
some evidence has been presented to sup
port them; but as yet the accusations are
not even all in. the defense of the accused
has not been heard and the verdict of the

There is apparently no disposition on the
part of the administration to conceal post
Office frauds. If they do exist for the sake
OF political defense or to shield the offend
ers. The President, 1t appears, has given
Mr.. Payne ample authority to proceed re-
lentlessly with his inquiry. and the Post
master General has placed the case with
out restrictions in the hands of one of his
assistants. who has been given the full re-
sources of the government to ferret out the
facts and to fasten proof of criminality
upon guilty individuals and to make sure
of their prosecution in the courts.
While the facts are being ascertained by
the processes already in operation it is ad-
visable that everybody preserve a judicial
frame of mind and await the results pa
tiently. Nothing has yet been disclosed
which forces upon the public the painful
conviction that there is a present revival
of the spirit of star route criminality; but
II proof of the existence of these conditions
shall hereafter develop undoubtedly tho
American people will insist upon a repeti-
ton also of star route discharges and
prosecutions. The public wishes no man to
be condemned hastily and unjustly: and at
the same time 1t demands that no guilty
man go unpublished

The Latest About Cuba.

The latest party of distinguished Ameri-
cans to visit Cuba have returned with
pleasant impression Of the Cuban people
and a high appreciation of the possibilities
OF the island under an Independent govern
ment Their stay was short. but they kept
their eyes open the while. They found
population making steady progress. and
improving all Of their opportunities. The
scars made by the war are rapidly disap-
pearing; and before a great WHILE and par
ticularly If our Congress acts as 1T Is now
expected to act with regard to reciprocity
Cuba will be flourishing like a green bay
tree.
Secretary Moody's statement as to the
sites granted for the American naval sta
lions fully confirms previous reports on
that subject. Cuba has again signiied her
friendship for us by consenting to selec-
tons which will make us very strong on
her coast, and enable US to carry out our
program both for her greater protection
and our own. 1t is a program worthy OF
liberal expenditures; and presumably they
will be cheerfully made. We should i'm
prove. indeed. all the natural advantages
of those sites. and make our naval stations
there the equal in strength and resources
of those on our own coast.
Steadily, and, in the circumstances. rap
idly everything seems to be working out
well for us in that quarter Of the world
The pessimists are all being COMPOUNDED.
Crackers who predicted when we inter-
vened in behalf of Cuba that we had taken
a step so reckless and unwise that nothing
but disaster to the Cubans and to our
selves could proceed from it, and that dis
aster would Immediately proceed from 1t,
are silent now. They have neither the
frankness to confess their error, nor the
temerity to insist upon their unfulfilled
prophecies. But they also serve who sit
and sulk. A thought Of them is almost as
good as visit to Cuba in giving COM
fort for what we have done.
Still, comforting and promising as the
situation is. 1t Is plain enough that much
remains to be done both by Cuba and by
the United States to reap the full rewards
of recent labors. The start is excellent
But we have only started. If we are to
realize all of our wishes and develop the
situation as 1t deserves to be developed we
must press on in entire good faith with
each other and as friends in the very best
sense of the word.

Harrison and Quincy.

The ticket Of Harrison and Quincy Is
suggested. Well, why not? At time
when the democracy is so seriously divided,
and sections and factions are to be con-
sidered, why should not these two men
both young. the one representing the west
and the other the east. and each bearing
distinguished name-solve the difficulty?
Carter Harrison has all the bounce Of his
section He knows both the boys and the
ropes As mayor of Chicago he has had
considerable executive experience. His ad-
dress is hearty. and he is personally very
popular. If questioned too closely on such
topics as the tariff and money and expan-
sion. he might reply as Mr.. Cleveland did
at the beginning of his national career
when an interviewer sought to draw him
out about taxation. and confess ignorance.
That did not injure Mr.. Cleveland. who
had been occupied with other things. Mr..
Harrison has been occupied with other
things: Elect him President and he would
have to prepare himself to handle those
issues. --,F = ,..ss--,:;.-..
The east. which is. a. little staid, would
probably prefer man with less bounce.
But Mr.. Quincy for second place would be
a concession to that spirit. He Is one of
the oldest young men we have. He never
smiles He never grows heated. Levity
finds no lodgment In his composition. He
Is all GOODNESS and calculation. AS mayor
Of Boston he showed himself to be very
good executive, and during his brief serv-
ice as assistant secretary Of state here he
made a record which would recommend
him to the party workers. Cool as he him
self was he made things warm for many
republicans who at that time were in the
consular service.
To repeat why not Harrison and Quincy?
They would fill the requirement laid down
by Admiral Dewey. Both are young and
vigorous. If Mr.. Harrison should die Mr..
Quincy would bring to the first place, if
less graciousness. quite as much endur-
ance. They are not encountered as some
of the older aspirants are. with long rec
ords. When Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. German are mentioned men begin to
run over their careers. and to point out one
thing and another that would influence the
campaign adversely. The west would not
like this. and the east would not like that,
and SO on. .'.
There need be no hurry about passing
upon this suggestion finally. AS 1t involves
Mr.. Quincy. it will keep, even through the
hottest summer

Tariff Revision a Necessity.
From the Chicago Post.

From the chicago POST
We have had a number of "authorfta-
tive" and quasi-official utterances on the
tariff question. They appear to have given
much aid and comfort to the fanatical and
irrational opponents of revision and freer
trade. There is great joy in the stand
pat camp. Root, Shaw. Allison and other
leaders have condemned tariff revision, and
even talk Of revision. as a menace to the
prosperity of the country, though they
have admitted, as an abstract proposition,
that in certain conceivable circumstances
and at some future time revision may be
advisable. What a triumph for the enc
niles Of progress!
And even President Roosevelt is now
claimed as a recruit of the stand patters"
His Minneapolis speech was certainly not
the deliverance of convinced and reso-
lutte revisionist. To put it biuntly it was
disappointment to the friends of the
Iowa idea and honestly applied protection.
1t was full of ifs and butts and perhapses.
and avoided definite statements. To OBJ
pose reasonable revision at the earliest pos
sible moment is to protect monopoly and
invite reaction and the political and com
mercial penalties of oppression and abuse
