The Roll of Veterans.

In his annual report just pub
lished, covering the year ending
June 30 last, Secretary Of the
Interior Garfield states that dur
ing the twelve months the loss
to the pension list was 49, 634, of
which 45, ,768 were caused by
death. The net reduction of the
roll for the year was 18, 900, leav-
ing the total at the date named
967, ,371. Less than 5000 pen
sioners represent the wars pervi-
GUS to 1876, and only 10, ,699 re-
main of the Mexican war veter-
ans. The pensioned soldiers of
the civil war number 528, 099,
and the total henceforth must
rapidly grow less. There are
256, 168 pensioned widows. Sol
diers of the Spanish war draw
19, OBJ pensions. and the pen
stoned widows attributable to
that conflict are 100.
Since the foundation of the
government nearly SO, 900, 900, 600
has been devoted to pensions, of
which nine-tenths is due to the
civil war, but this expenditure is
not out of proportion to the num-
ber engaged and the seriousness
of the casualties. Many thousand
civil war soldiers were slain or
died of disease who left no pen
sionable relatives, A subscrip-
ton is on foot in England, headed
by King Edward, to provide a
fund for the support of British
veteran soldiers for whom there
is no better place now than the
warehouses;. 1t is one of the
glories of the United States that
no American soldier is reduced
to such an extremity. A pension
gives him a living chance and
there are soldiers homes, nation
al'and state, whose doors are al
/ ways open to him. Undoubted
ly nation has the authority to
call it's citizens to the battle field.
But there is no occasion to say
Lest we f)rget" in regard to
this country's treatment of its
lbrave defenders.

Abraham Lii. coin.

Wednesday was the anniver-
sary of Lincoln's birth.
So many eulogies have been
written on the life, character
and greatness of Abraham
Lincoln that human mind can
hardly conjure anything new.
We remember Mr.. Lincoln as
our childhood's image of the
greatest living man.
We saw him both in life and
in death, for the writer. was
raised near his home ard though
but a child, his face is STAN 3ed
as plainly in memory today as
then.
At his call two brothers had
gone to fight their country's bat
ties, never to return, and while
their deaths were mourned with
childish frenzy. even the boy
mind could read the sorrow of
the great sympathetic heart of
the Commander-in-chief at the
fall of his soldiers.
We remember the hour when
news of his assassination was
flashed from town to town; re-
member what general grief was
manifest; remember too, that
even in staunch old Illinois we
saw a Southern sympathizer
throw up his hat and shout that
he was glad of it. And in that
moment, remember how we
longed for cannon.
In those awful times of war
and passion and bloodshed, Lin
coin, like Grant, and like Wash
ington before them in the revo-
luton, was but a soldier of
fortune. There were those to
censure and others to praise.
But the greatness of the man
became better understood with
the drifting of those days and
the passing of himself from life.
The dawning of days and
years, add and shall add to the
memory of his greatness a
greatness that not only receives
the homage of every American
citizen, but compels the respect
of every civilized country of the
world.

The June number OF Scribner's Mag

OF Friendships" which is almost the
first example Of artist memories in
American letters. LOWS recollections
have to do with the present generation
Of American artists, many of whom are
at the height Of their career.
Another artist who can write is Sid
ney NJ. Chase, who describes the life Of
Main fishing village In the summer
time, giving, in the picturesque lang
uage of an old fisherman, the very es-
sence Of the place.
John @. Van Dyke describes "The
High Alps" from the point Of view of
an aesthetic observer. He shows how
the latest theory of the formation of
mountains upsets the old belief that
they are wrinkles in the earth's
crust; he then discusses there picture
sque qualities with reference to mass,
outline, and color.
Arthur Rule concludes his South
American papers with a vivid account
Of "Brazll--Where the Coffee Comes
From"
The short fiction Is notable for a
story by Edith Wharton-"The YER

To Strike "Damn"Out of Sermon
by DIR, H0werton

Dy Ors hOWertOn
A dispatch published in Sun
days papers from Greensboro, N.
O., where the Southern Presbyter-
ian General Assembly 10 in session,
contained the following item of
news, interesting to Lsxingtonians
because Of the connection with it
Of a resident of this community:
"virginia is receiving high hon.
ors and sustaining them we'll in
the session of the Southern

terry looking to the protection of

CAT this mornings session, dur.
ing the discussion of "Negro
Evangelizstion," motion was
made to print and circulate the
sermon of the retiring moderator,
the Rev. Dr.J. R.Howerton of Lex
ington. Va, preached upon the
subject at the opening Of the as
sembly, whereupon the Rev. R. B.
of Richmond, called at
tention to the fact that the word |
damn" was used in the sermon in
quoting what an engineer had
said in DR.. Howerton's presence
with reference to the negro. Mr..
regarded it as improper
that this word should appear in
The printed sermon, and moved
nat it be eliminated there from.
DR.. Howerton explained that the
word was used for the purpose of
evealing a spirit of venom, and
hat he did not regard it as pro-
anity. The Rev. DR.. R. F. Camp
ell thought there was no impro.
riety in the use of the word in
he sermon. The Assem- bly,, how
