BY CASTOR LICIITENSTE1N.
How many of my readers know that
when General Lee surrendered at APP
pomattoS the victorious Federal gov
eminent had al its head both a native
southern President and a native South
ern Vice President? 1t is an odd but
noteworthy fact. and. stranger still,
both were from North Carolina stock.
The Old North state boasts OF having
contributed more soldiers to the Con-
federatc cause than any otner Com
monwealth, and, if an honor it be, It
can also boast OF having a man on the
opposite side whose duty a s chief eS-
ecutive was to command the Federal
forces in their attempt to Kill and
main as many North Carolinians as
possible.
Abraham Lincoln Is a saint or a
sinner, a big man or small one. ac-
cording to the viewpoint Of tho indt-
vidual thinker. or, OF the person who
lets other people do his thinking. He
was human being, and, like all Of
us. possessed weaknesses. But. there
were Southerners who knew him III
life. and they did not have the opin-
lion now heard In certain quarters OF
our Southland. Alexander II. Stephens,
the Confederate Vice President,
thought we'll OF Mr.. Lincoln. and de-
plored the assassination as soon as
he heard the news. not because a man
mad been killed, but because he kenw
that the South would suffer thereby.
A few years ago there appeared a
book entitled "The Genesis Of Lin-
coln,'' 1t Will be remembered that
even the tho best biographies Of the
ill-fated man contain unsatisfactory
accounts OF the events surrounding his

creating the city after 1870 the main ex-
pense Of the achievement was represent
ed by the grievous debt of some $50, 0O0,
600. In both cases they took upon them
selves national burdens and were led by
public-spirited motives. as the Senate
committee reported in 1885, into expendi
lures which did not properly belong to
them.
These national expenditures thus as
sumed by the District make up the funded
indebtedness which burdens Washin gton,
and annually absorbs in interest and
sinking fund and diverts from needed
current expenditures nearly a million dol
lars. Instead of quibbling over and at
tempting to evade the act of 1878, the
equitable principle recognized by TINS
piece of legislation should be applied TO
the period before 1878. and reimburse
ment should be made for local e2pendi-
lures beyond the proper proportion within
this period The payment Of one-half the
Districts expenses by the United States
a the untaXed owner of one-half the city
property and as interested TO that extent
in all improvements. was urged By Sena-
tor Southland in 1880. He also advocated
the reimbursement to the District of what
ever il had expended in the past beyond
its just proportion. Congress has follow
ed only one-half of Senator Southards
advice. If justice requires that the gov
eminent should pay a certain proportion
of District expenses now. both justice
and consistency demand that it should
pay the same proportion of the expenses
of the wears of its Indifference and neg
lect. 1t was shown in 1878 as already
stated that up to date the citizens OF
Washington had expended upon the cap
ital in excess of the amount appropriated
by Congress about S14,OOo,nOJ. a bal
ance should be struck, and whatever
sum is necessary to make the eXpendi
lures of the general government upon the
capital equal to these of its citizens
should be credited to the District.
