have to pass in judgment before the people; and
it looks as if the jury would be called upon to
decide exactly one year from next November.
When, in addition to all these things, there is
serious division in the ranks of the party in power
when the Senate is deadlocked over an administra-
ton measure which is fraught with suspicion and
grave danger; when promised system of rural
credits is not enacted into law, and when there is
a fuse attached to every action which has to do
with belligerent nations, it is wonder that the
friends Of the administration have taken heart
during the week because there has been fash Of
American spirit. The best thing which the Presi-
dent has done for his party for himself has been
the forwarding OF the notes to Great Britain and
Germany AS to the wisdom of many Of his
policies there have been grave differences OF opn
ion. When however, he makes a show OF stand
ing up for American rights he appeals to the en-
tire country irrespective OF party and gives
glimpse OF sunshine through the clouds which

THE REAL LINCOLN.
Not TypicaIIy American, but n
Wholly Exceptional Individual.

On the ETH of February we shall be
treated to a familiar performance. Hun
dreds of lOquaCiOus speakers throughout
the country will arise from the dinner
Ia BILE and COnfide to their audiences a
profound conviction that of all our Pres
idents Lincoln was most completely the
man of the people. the most thoroughly
and typbally American. The official
duty Of these speakers will be that OF
eulogizing Mr. Lincoln. Their real pur-
pose will he that OF fattering their audi
ence. II Mr. Lincoln was so entirely a
man OF the people. the people must be
very like to NJ. Lincoln. In point OF
fact Mr.. Lincoln was specifically man
Of the people. and fundamentally
unique. distinguished and wholly eXCep-
tional individual In certain salient re-
SpeCts he was the least typical of Amer
leans. Americans. particularly those OF
Lincolns own generation and neighbOr-
hood. were essentially active. aggressive
and objective men whose lives were given
over to practical external affairs. who
subordinated everything else to the de-
mands Of practical achievement, and
whose individuality consisted in living
ordinary lives in an extraordinarily en-
ergetic manner. They were superficial.
discursive. easy-gOing. quarrelsome, and
wholly incapable OF preparing in advance
lOr any task or responsibility. In an
these respects Lincoln differed from his
fellow -countrymen, and upon these differ
enCes his eminence depends. He was not
particularly ambitious. aggressive or
pra actical In spite of his lively social
feelings. he lived a cOntemplative life. In
which the intellectual interest obtained
full eXnressio6 and which attained high
degree of internal concentration. He
fought hard and we'll but he never quar-
relied During his formative years he
quietly but uncOnsciously prepared him
self for great enterprises. He trained
his mind because he enjoyed hard intel
Iectual exertion. His style shaped itself
under the influence OF the Bible and
Shakespeare. Thus at a period and in
a Coutry favorable TO the cheaP perform
ance and tire easy victory. Mr.. Lincoln
tempered his reason and his spirit for
a great performance and a costly vic
tory. Was there anything typically
American about that:-New Republic.

NATIONAL HYMNS.
POuItney BiReIOw Takes Issue with
Admiral Chadwick.

MY illustriOus and gallant friend. Ad-
miTal Chadwick, has not been himself
since the outbreak Of Germany from her
normal boundaries, for he has gone so
far as to assert that England has stolen
even her national anthem from Ger
many.
Permit me to point out to the historian
of the Spanish war that the standard
German student "KOmmersbuch'' Of Sill
cher and Lahr credits the music of God
Save the King to "H. Carey, 49, and
the German text to a Dane named Har-
ries, who published on January q, 1870,
Peters 'LiedersChatz'' confirms the
'Kommersbuch." and adds that the mu-
sic is that of the "englische NationaIlied.
God Save the King also that it was
first sung in Berlin in l7S3-a difference
Of half century in favor OF the allies!
So much for the claim that England stole
her anthem from the devastators Of
Rheims and Louvain.
Permit me now to notice the conditions
under which Prussia. and not England,
stole this glorious anthem.
Frederick William II marched an
army to the Argonne in 1892. for the
purpose of suppressing the movement
for liberty in the new French nation
On the very heights where now Will
lam II is vainly seeking to force his
troops forward. the Prussians of 1872
were compelled to retire before the
ragged leVies OF kellerman and Du-
mOuricz, who knew little of POtsdam
PaTadesChritt. but who, on the. other
hand. first astonished Europe by the
war cry. "Vive la Nationr and the
stirring strains of the "Marseillaise."
No wonder that French troops today
fight valiantly on soil sacred in their
history to their first victory as a ma
tion in arms. with a national war-cry.
and a national hymn. This was the
great battle of Nalmy. The Prussians
retired from Valmy with their tails
between their legs. and to console them
for this humiliation. Frederick Will
lam ii rest-grandfather Of
William I'D. dedicated an Arch Of Tri-
umph in Berlin called "Das Branden-
burger Thor" and as a suitable cOrol-
larry to this monumental piece of pOliti-
cal humbug, he stole not only the
music from England. but even the
words from Denmark-for a German
named Schumacher worked the Danish
words over so as to f1atter the defeated
hero OF Valmy! Furthermore, let me
say in closing that He'll dir i'm Sieg
cskranz" (Which means Hail to thee
Of the NiCtOr's CROWN is not a Ger
man but a Prussian national hymn.
The song has ever been unpopular with
the German people because it glorifies
monarch conspicuous for his un-
manly qualities. So unpopular indeed
was that hymn in my youth that il
was not even included in Bleibtreu's
famous collection called "Kampf-und
Frciheits-Liedcr" leipzig. 1860.
The gallant admiral has. fear. been
the victim OF his impatience to say
something unkind regarding the moth
er of modern civil liberty and self
government. Treitschke fell in the
same way-he could be serenely his
toricaI on most subjects. but il any

A LIE IN THE UNDERWORLD.

ought to know. for in the course OF a
checkered career he has made his living
as a gambler and a thief and has spent
fair share of his thirty-odd years be-
hind the prison bars.
Consequently Dan knows that mvs-
terious realm which New Workers call

It's all question OF comparative bcne-

The conversation drifted back once more
to lying. Dams pale eyes almost flashed
when he talked about that subject. and
he struck the iron bars before him as he

DOG MAIL CARRIER DEAD.
His Pal Refuses 10 Leave Grave
and Pouch viii Be Late.

For ten years the mail has been carried
from the Fernwood railroad station to
the YeadOn borough pOstotfice. a distance
of one mile, three times each day. no
matter what the weather was. The resi-
dents of Yeadon never have had cause
to complain of the service. and the gov
ernment never paid a cent for it.
TWO sheCpdOGs did the work.
Today. one OF the dogs having gone
back to the dust whence he came. and
his pal refusing to leave the little
mound in the rear of Justice of the Peace
William r. Evans property. the mail will
likely be late.
The residents OF Yeadon from this day
forward will have TO allow for human
fallibility. while they kick their heels
against the postoffice radiator. And the
government will have TO send a monthly
voucher to the man who gets the job
that the dogs filed out OF sheer patriot
ism.
1t IS Collie who is dead. He just natu-
rally passed away early yesterday morn
ing. Colonel's piteous moaning brought
Justice OF the Peace Evans down before
daybreak. and he found Colonel standing
across the dead body of Collie as though
he knew that the next thing was burial
and he wanted so bad to protect his
pal against any such. The Justice Of
the peace took COUie's death to heart
almost as deeply as Colonel did. and man
and dog stood together as equals. as
mourners. while Collie went into his
grave.
Ten years ago Collie and Colonel
started as real patriots to carry the
mail. The pouch came from Fern
wood station to the postofice three
times a day. one end OF 1t in COlIie's
mouth and the other between COIoneTs
firm Jaws. Only once on each trip did
they pause. and that occurred halfway
between the two extreme points.
No one ever told them the time to
go for the mail.

years. Tariffs have been tinkered with
and the war has kept other more

They say some dogs are human.
That may or may not be- But it is a
fact that some dogs get human treat

government are concerned. this is not

He must die of a broken heart: or. if
