THE LEAST MAN HE EVER Saw. +
August election by "the whole hog
Jackson men," but he was absent in
congress during the whole Of the cam
paign, and now that he came to the
duties of his Office it was discovered
that he had been all the while an anti
Jackson man and was. quite willing to
aid the Wings in furtherance Of some
of their worst schemes. These schemes
were then just beginning to be hatched
in great numbers, but in due time they
were enacted into laws and prepared
Illinois with the proper weights Of pub
lie debt and rag" currency to sink her
deeper than her neighbors into the
miseries Of financial ruin in 1887. The
speculating fever was just reaching
Illinois. The land and town lot busi-
ness had barely taken shape at Chi
cago, and state banks and multitude
nous internal improvements were yet
to be invented. But this legislature
was very wise one in it's own conceit
and was not slow to launch out with
the first of series of magnificent ex-
periments. 1t contented itself, how
ever, with chartering a state bank,
with a capital Of $1,500,o00; recharter-
ing, with capital of 100000, the
Shawneetown bank, which had broken
twelve years before, and providing for
a loan Of $500,O00 on the credit Of the
state wherewith to make beginning
on the Illinois and Michigan canal.
The bill for the latter project was
drawn and introduced by Senator
James M. Strobe, the gentleman who
described with such moving eloquence
the horrors of Stillman's defeat. These
measures Governor Ford considers ''the
beginning Of all the bad legislation
which followed in few years and
which, as Is well known, resulted in
general ruin" Mr.. Lincoln favored
them all and faithfully followed out
the policy Of which they were the in
auguration at subsequent sessions of
the same body. For the present, new
ertheless, he was silent member, al
though he was assigned prominent
place on the committee on public ac-
counts and expenditures. The bank
charters were drawn by a Democrat
who hoped to find his account IN the
issue. All the bills were passed by q
legislature ''nominally" Democratic,
but the board Of canal commissioners
was composed exclusively Of Wings,
and the Wings straightway assumed
control Of the banks.
It was at special session Of this
legislature that Lincoln first saw Ste
phen A. Douglas and, viewing his ac-
tive little. person with immense amuse-
ment, pronounced him ''the least man
he ever saw" Douglas had come into
the state rrom Vermont only the pre-
vious year, but, having studied law for
several months, considered himself
eminently qualified to be states attor-
ney for the district In which he lived
and was now come to Vandalia for
that purpose. The place was already
filed by man Of considerable distinc-
tion, but the incumbent, remaining at
home, possibly in blissful ignorance Of
his neighbor's design, was easily sup
planted by the supple Vermonter.
1t is the misfortune Of legislatures IN
general, as 1t was In those days the
peculiar misf fortune Of the legislature

Lincoln Leaves Love Affairs For Legs

T HE majority of Mr.. Lincoln's BIZ
ographers, and they are many
and credulous, tell us that he
walked from New Salem to
Vandalia, distance of 100 miles, to
take his seat for the first time in the
legislature of the state But that is an
innocent mistake, for he was resolved
TO appear with as much Of the dignity
Of the senator as his circumstances
would permit. For this very purpose
he had borrowed 5000 from Coleman
Smoot, and when the choice between
riding and walking presented itself he
sensibly enough got into the stage,
with. his new clothes on. and rode to
the scene Of his labors.
When he arrived there, he found a
singular state of affairs. Duncan had

oNpoN, Jan. lG.--It is the truth
that hurts most Sidney Lee, the
great English shakespcarean
acholar, has brought hornets
nest about his ears bytelling the Eag-
fish peuple some plain truths about
themselves. The occasion was the first
pubic meeting VI the recently formed
English association, instituted TO pro-
mote the correct use of English and to
secure for English subjects a foremost
place IN the curriculum of every school
and college throughout the British en-
psre, AIR, Lee said that the rank ana
file of the American people spoke and
wrote better English than tho aver
age Ehgllshman Furthermore English
was better taught In both the low and
high grade schools In America than
IN similar English schools. Az proof of
the greater thoroughness with which
English is taught in America he IN
stanced the fact that at Harvard uni
versity there We're 20 professors OF Eng
lish studies, while at oxford. there
was practically only one. In advanced
English scholarships. America, he said.

make the comparison than Mr., Lee.
He is u master of English literature.
tional systems OF both countries. He
has filled lectureships at Lowell insti-
tute, Johns Hopkins, and Princetown
University In America. But that does
not make what he says any the more
palatable for English folk.
Some of the attempts made here TO re-
fute his statements are ludicrous. A
great London Neo-cent daily has re-
course to an anonymous interview and
an obviously faxed interview at that.
1t quotes IAN American gentleman stay
ing at the Savoy hotel" as saying: 81

your language than you do yourself
Sidney Lees got right there and reck-
on he's sized you up o. K. We have
