Lincoln was our Bismark, and
Lincoln's policy after the surrender
at Appomattox was conciliatory to-
ward the south, and it was a deep
misfortune for the southern people,
as for the whole nation, that he was
removed by the hand of an insane
assassin just at the moment when he
might have completed the great work
which he had carried through such
a period of national stress and
storm to the point of absolute vic
tory.
I'VE can better understand the
anti-slavery agitation in its bearings

history when we remember that in
