 And this was the amendment pro- pos ed:
 Article 13.-No amendment shall be made, to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish, or interfere, within any State. with the domestic institu- tions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of
 If MT Lincoln steadily objected to 'compromise in December and later be- cause it would compromise away the main purport of their victory"-that is, the victory won in November. he changed his mind before he took the oath of office on March 4. The amend ment he sanctioned was surrender of the principle for which the Repub- lican Party had been fighting since its organization-"the ultimate extinction of slavery and it had been accepted by the south slavery would be in exis- tence today and just as long as the South chose to have it continue.
 Fortunately the South in its mad ness scorned to accept it, and the amendment. amid the whirling excite ment of impending war, was not laid before the Legislature of single State, and was virtually forgotten. Never theless It is an ugly fact. and though Mr. Lincoln did much noble work af- terward, no true estimate of his char acter and services can be made without taking that extraordinary act into con- sideration.
 The extenuating fact was, or seemed to be that Mir. Lincoln was appalled, by the advancing spectre of secession and civil war. He dreaded war; he wanted a peaceful administrations, and to se- cure it he was willing to forego that phase of the platform on which he was elected which aimed at the ultimate extinction of slavery. But as tht South contemptuously spurned the cf- Ter and as nothing came Of 1t, the mat ter was overlooked and lfNs almost bc"n forgotten. and all the more readily be- cause later on he took the steps which ended in emancipation and made his name conspicuous for all time as the man who first made this really free nation. The fact that he was reluctant to do so until the pressure became well nigh irresistible should not weigh first man who, at the outset. adopted a policy which circumstances compelled him to change; nor is he likely to be the last. ,,

LAUDs AMERICAN WOMEN.

Dash, Style and Strenuosity Irresisti-
 ble, Says Mrs. T. F. O'COnnor.
 Boston Dispatch in New York World.
 Mrs. O'Connor, wife of T. P. O'Con- nor, M. F.. paid this tribute today to the American woman.
 Beauty that is at once delicate and bewitching. a delightful strenuosity and a dashing style are thes winning combinations that characterize the American woman and make her ire sistible.
 'The American woman is more in- dependent, more healthful and has more stylish taste for dress and home furnishing than tho English woman.
 It is but fair to the English womer to say that Mrs. OConnor was porn y America. Continuing, she said:
 '"The American girl of 17 Is simply lovely. No other girl on any continent can boast of such a delicate beauty.
 "The American woman is more inue pendent and more~healthful than tht London woman. I suppose that IL because the American girl gets out II the world and struggles for herself. II Is inc same in every American city. notice the girls full or ire ana nustle They do not appear to De al ease un' less they are doing something.
 "It takes time to give an Engiisf woman taste in dress. You Americana adopt the styles lnstinctively as they appear" -. ="

LINCOLN AND SLAVERY.
He Did Not Want To Interfere With It
 in the States.

To the Editor of the New York Sun:
 Sir-In The Sun of Octoberf. is a re- view of book entitled The American Ten Years War" To one who lived through that period and recalls the ex- citement preceding and during the act ual war. it is very interesting. and the book itself will no doubt be widely read by people who care to recall the events of that remarkable period. But having read pretty much everything emanating from Mir. Lincoln, in addi- tion to hearing his first inaugural l was a. good deal surprised to see it claimed for Lincoln that while others North and South were preparing com promises ne steuaiiy objected to them. came to the rescne." In a letter in which he said: Entertain no proposi- tion for compromise in regard to slavery" A few lines further on in the review occurs the passage:
 Lincoln had. in Tact started to trans form the Eastern States. one of the chief, preliminary tasks. As he made them Republican in 1858, turning them from popular sovereignty, so he had to make them true Unionists in 1860, turn ing them from their tendency to com promise away the main purport of :heir victory. All can now see that Lin- coin in this matter was the true repre- sentative of his party and voiced arignt is world his -orlc3l n.$cion.
 The author mist haze forgotten tha. part of Lincoln's first inausnrG4 in which he said:
 I understand that a proposed amend = ment to the constitution-which ch amendment, however, l have not seen has passed Congress 10 the effect that the Federal government shall never in- terfere with the domestic institutions of the States. including that of persons feld to service. To avoid lniscon- struction of what I have said l depart from my purpose not to speak of par ticular amendments so far as to say that, holiing such a provision to now be implied constitutional Jaw. l hdEc

KOREAN GHOSTS DAMNED.
Precautions Taken to Prevent SpOOk
 from Running Down Hill.

Precautions Taken to Prevent SpOOks
 from Running Down Hill.
 In this age of spooks and disembod- jed influences that swirl and gibber about the heads of unseeing mortals in fiocks instructive light upon the care and culture of spirits may be gained from the Koreans. These people dam up the walls of their tombs so that the spirits of the dead may not run down hill and thus become a terrible menace to the living.
 A Korean chooses always for the site of a tomb. some steep hillside, high above the floor of the valley. that the imps of darkness coming up through the middle of the earth may have a hard climb uphill after they have emerged from the ground before they reach the burial place of the deceased.
 The tomb closely resembles a saucer with the cup inverted and set down in it's middle. The edges of the saucer like dike about the central circular mound are raised sometimes to the height of four or five feet and careful ly turfed so as to resist the washin g effect of the winter rains. Thus the spirit of the deceased, buried deep un- der the central mound, is effectually damned in and mewed up by the en- circling wall of earth
 If by chance during flood time the retaining wall of the tomb should give way and be carried down hill the faith ful Korean son or brother of the de- ceased hurries out with his wooden spade and rebuilds the dam as speedily as possible. He fears lest the restless spirit within the tomb should be wash ed down hill with the earth and then the lives of all the living kin would be forever blighted. For nothing is SO horrible in Korea as spirit that has escaped it's tomb and wanders in vengeful mood about the habitations of the living. s.-:. :: '.. -#-.

EUROPEAN RAILWAYS.
Distinction Between the Classes-Thirt
 Class Carriages.

Hartford Courant.
 Under most of the European railwa? systems there are four classes of car riages or coupes The first class coupe generally quarter section of the en- tire car and holding seven or eighl persons-is upholstered in red; the second class coupe is upholstered in green: the third class in gray, while the fourth class Is not upholstered at all but Is merely tho bare boards ot the entire car, like our baggage cars, and. also like our baggage cars. some times with no seats at all, and at the hest with only two boards running along either side. like the seats In out trolley cars. This subdivision of ao commodations enables one to travel in many parts of Europe for short dIs- tances at low rates But in ord .r tu do so one must go with the crowd anu not with the Princes and Generals Ab- solutely the only difference between first and second class railway accom- nodations in most of Europe is the color of the cushions. For more money you can get red but the same comfor. goes with the green. At one time there was a legend in Middle Europe that one must travel first class in Italy on account of the f1eas in the secono class carriages, but as an actual eypa- rience demonstrated that there were nr heas in either class As between sec ond class and third class. you ge, cushions of green or cushions of drah and this is practically the only liffer. ence. except that more people travel third class. and so there is less seclu. sion.
 Any one who goes to Europe to study tho people and does not travel third class misses the object for which ne is travelling. All classes and conditions go third class for distances of not mo- c than three or four hours-the capital ist as we'll as the workman. The fourth class Is mainly for the movement 0f troops. In the cid days the Russian re cruits used to be brought into Odessa in these cars, they being so packed in that not one could sit down That was q first lesson in the use of their legs But even the fourth class is not SO bad for two hours on a summer morning. particularly If one had q strong hand bag or box to sit on Most peddlers travel In this fashion, their backs all ways furnishing them with seat. In winter fourth class passenger needs a feather bed for Warmth--Hossih two. but while the leaves are on and the birds sing, a fourth class ride Is 0y no means so dreadful as 1t sounds.
 This is the other side of MT. Curtis . figuring. We can not give prices. but In a rough way the third class ticket : cost about the same as our rural troll Y ljnes-not more, and perhaps a trifle less We have no doubt that If an eN- act balance were struck between th" European and American SYst-Ius. our systems. taken by the mile. would b' the cheaper for the passenger. our
