Next Lincoln Anniversary.
(Philadelphia Bulletin. )

April IA year hence will be the fiftieth anniversary of the great tras- edy. In that rounding of half cen tury there will be much of the same sort of significance in the comparlsoh of the part and present that there was last year at Gettysburg III a nhe style It was then shown that the veterans of the north and the veter- ans of the south had reached the final stage of conciliation among themselves, that the memories of that awful battlefield could be recounted by one another without resentment, and that henceforth they would be proud of having lived to see the day when they could stand hand in hand as sons of the same country under the same flag. In a still greater de- gree will that sentiment be expressed not simply by the veterans but by the men of the generation which succeed ed them, when the commemoratlon of Lincoln's death shall close the era of the Civil war review in the light of half a century. It is altogether like ly that from among the southern peo- pie, both the survivors of the war and their descendants, there will arise scarcely less of patriotic rever- ence for his place today in the annals of the republic than there will in the north, and that reciprocally among ourselves there will also come to be felt something of the same appreciation of the virtue and char- acter of Robert E. Lee as the flower of southern manhood. When south erners like old Joe Blackburn with their loyalty to the stars and bars, are applauded by their countrymen of the confederacy and by the south ern press for their. patriotism in serving or wanting to serve on commission which will erect in honor of Abraham Lincoln a memorial as distinctive in it's grandeur as the tomb in which Napoleon rests on the banks of the Seine, we may well re- joice in our outlook on the future as a truly united people.
 Every 14th of April brings us near CT to the full realization of Stanton's noble words when at the bedside he saw the martyr draw his last breath -"Now he belongs to the ages"

business of the meeting was taken
up The association endorsed the
opening of Eighteenth and Sixteenth

II MIS- pointed out that in opening
I'D Sixteenth avenue TO the South Or
ange line two rOtes could be consid-
cred. One route is in a straight line
TO the South Orange line while the
other is q winding route. A commit
tee of ten was appointed to look into

himself as being confident that if

ton at the State prison at Wethers-
field since last fall and whose friend,
James Plew. was hanged on March
for the actual Staying of her hus-
band, William o. Wakefield, last Au-
gust, in Cheshire, Conn.
Attorney Thomas f. Devine, Mrs.
Wakefield's counsel, who has been
actively aided by many women's So
cieties, suffrage associations and by
Mrs. Cornelia .Blickensderfer, wife of
the typewriter manufacturer based
his petition for a new trial on the
ground that the trial judge erred in
admitting the woman's confession of
completely shortly after her arrest
on suspicion.
Another essential ground of appeal
was that testimony against Plew
should not have been admitted with
out some defense and used against
the woman. Plew pleaded guilty and
the court fixed his offence as first de-
gree murder and imposed the capital
sentence.
WETHERSFIELD, Conn, April II.
Mrs. Bessie ]. Wakefield, who has
been confined in the State prison here
for several months, following her
conviction for completely in the

OPONION OF MIR. MOOSE DOES
 NOT NULLIFY ORDINANCE

Little Rock, Aug, % City At torney Mehaffey says that the opinion of Attorney General Moose that the
 recently adopted anti-narcotic or dinance of this city is void and unen- forcible, does not nullify the law, and
 that it is just as much in force now as it was before. He contends that the prohibitions contained in the or dinance come within the police power
 of a city.
 Alderman R. c. Powers, a lawyer,
 takes issue with the Attorneygener- al, and contends that the ordinance is perfectly valid, as the courts are talk nig liberal view of such legislation, holding that where the public welfare is concerned, it is not necessary for
 city to contine itself strictly to the
 things specifically set forth in the statutes. It is probable that test
 case will be made, in order to deter
 mine the validity of the ordinance, which all reputable physicians and
 druggists have approved as just and necessary measure.

Little Rock, Aug, 20.-In response to a query by Election Commissioner D. M.

He had been asked if nominee had failed to pay his poll tax, whether the Com missioners should certify out his nom- ination.

The One Vital Point. Charlotte Observer l

The only question in connection with the European war trouble with which the Southern States need be very much concerned is as to the lenght of it's duration. A "short, sharp, and decisive" conflict would be of inestimable benefit to the South There would be brought into demand it's vast storehouses of wheat, corn and cotton, and with the demand of course would come high prices. The Observer does not agree with the war students who contend for a long drawn-out struggle. These ages are the days of quick maneuvering, of rapid concentration of troops and of modern war machinery calculated to force quick issues. The conditions fa- vor a rapidly-played game. That the war should be short one is not only to be desired from a commercial standpoint, but for the more humane one of the peace of the world, for it is quite likely that with the close of the present struggle all nations will have had surfit of war.
