"HE eliminating act Of the life of
Abraham Lincoln was the emaD
cipation proclamation. 1t was
this more than any other one
deed that fixed his place in history. 1t
gave him the titles of the 'liberator'
and the great emancipation"
Anything concerning Lincoln is still
live news. 1t is as eagerly read as &c.
counts of the latest political conven-
ton, murder trial or European war.
This Is not alone because Of the free
ing of the slave or the saving Of the
Union, but because he was Lincoln.
The personality Of the man appeals to
us along with his high deeds and i'm
mortal words. He stands the acid test
better than any man Of modern times.
He was gnarled and rugged, but gen
uine, homely Of body, but beautiful Of
soul.
Issuing the emancipation proclama
ton was not the easy task it appears
at this distance. 1t was beset by
doubts and difficulties. If the step
haf been taken earlier IL would have
lost the border states and might even
have caused a rebellion I'm the north.
As 1t was, 1t made enlistments drop
OFF and lost several state elections in
the fall Of 1862.
The first draft of the proclamation
was read by the president to the cabi-
net I'm the latter part of July or early
In August, 1862. Mr.. Lincoln was un-
certain as to the exact date. The pre-
liminary announcement was issued Just
after the battle of Antietam on Sept.
%. Exactly 100 days later, or on Jan.
i, 1863, the final proclamation went
forth. Lincoln told Frank b. Carpen-
ter, the man who painted the picture
OF the first reading Of the procIama-
ton, that there was no design In this
ndre day period. He had not count
ed the days and did not know till later
or b coincidence.
Operating to Save the Patient.
Mr.. Lincoln was alone responsible
for the act. He did not consult any
one, moi even his cabinet, on the mo-
mentous step he had in mind. He
himself said that it was his deliberate
policy not to interfere with slavery un-
TIL every other possible means for pre-
serving the Union had failed. He used
the apt illustration Of a surgeon treat
Ing a diseased leg. So long as the sur
geon thought he could save the patient
without amputatinG the leg he would
do 1t, but when it was apparent that
the affected member must be removed
or the patient lost he would operate
Slavery was the disease that was af-
fecting the Union, and the time had
come when amputation was necessary.
When the cabinet was called togeth-
er the president distinctly informed
them that they were not being con
suited as to whether the step should be
taken or should not be. That was al.
ready decided. He asked their nd.
vice only as to details-phraseology. on

Secretary Seward suggested that pub
Hcation of the document should be de-
ferred until there was a Union victory.

ing such reverses that to give ii forth

that Mr. Lincoln expected any Of these
erring sisters to abandon their error
because of the proclamation. Yet II
was characteristic Of him to offer them
the opportunity. The practical effect
was to disarm the opposition of pro
slavery men in the north.
The whole incident illustrates Lin
coins caution. He moved slowly, but
once having taken a position re
linquished ii. He reasoned out every
proposition carefully and thoroughly
until satisfied beyond a question OF
doubt In his own mind what was the
logical and right thing to do. His
mental processes were peculiarly his
own. He stated the arguments against
the curse he wanted to pursue as
fully and cogently as he was able
then endeavored to answer them. He
asked seldom for advice, although he
listened patiently to that which was
offered. Sometimes he called in a
friend to listen to his arguments pre-
and con, as though he needed a foil
During this very struggle In his own
mind over freeing the slave he sent
for Leonard SWEET, read to him sew
eral letters on the subject, then de
bated the question on both sides, as
though thinking aloud. That closed
the interview.
Several Generals Resigned.
The immediate practical effect Of tn,
proclamation was not great and was
seemingly adverse to the north. AS al
ready stated, it lost some of the cleo
lions and decreased enlistments. Sew
eral army officers resigned, giving al
sorts Of excuses for their action. In
the main the soldiers accepted the acl
as n of military necessity and lei
1t go at that. Most of the northern pa
pers approved. some of them enthusi
astically. Greeley In the Tribune
ended a short editorial with the words
God bless Abraham Lincoln!' Yei
Greeley Of late had not been enthusi
astic In his support of the administra
ton. In London the criticism was of
fered that the proclamation legalizet
slavery in the border states.
The abolitionists were for the mosi
part won over by the step, although
some Of them said 1t did not go far
enough. The general criticism was
that it was ineffective. The south SC
regarded 1t and was Indifferent.
The president felt that he had done
right, but had foreseen these objec.
lions. He told his cabinet that he had
promised his God" to emancipate the
slaves. The remark reveals the agon
izing mental struggle through which
he must have passed.
While the immediate tangible results
of emancipation were disappointing
however, the moral and intangible eff
fects were on the side Of the north
These no man can measure. Hence
forth the issue was clearly defined
The cause of disunion was identified
with slavery, while that of the Union
was, by the same token, made one with
liberty. The sentiment of Europe was
against human bondage, and the tide
of sympathy now began to swing to
ward the north.

GRACE WILL BE PARAIIYZED.
Should Life BE Saved, Would Prob

Newman, Ga, April 4.-Even in
the event of an operation, physi-
clans have no hope that Eugene
Grace will recover completely.
Should the unexpected happen and
the affection Of his rungs sufficiently
subside for an operation, the best
that can be hoped.is prolongation Of
his life. Recovery from the paraly-
sis that has deadened two-thirtls Of
his body Is impossible, owing to the
length Of time that he has lain par
alyzed. Had an operation been prac-
ticable Immediately after he was
wounded complete recovery might
have resulted, but the weeks of pres
Aure on his spinal cord would now
Nave him bed-ridden for life, even
after successful operation. His
physicians said this afternoon that
Grace can never hope to recover
from his present paralytic condition.
E8a The wounded man underwent no
Change this morning. His left lung
REMAINS in a solifed state that Of
sess little hope for an operation.
rssqa lie gges tton was IN a de to-day
that the use OF local anaesthetics
would be possible despite the affec-
ton of Grace's left lung, but physi-
clans say that such an anaesthetic
would be valueless in Graces condi-
ton.
