WATTERSON ON LINCOLN.

Born as lowly as the Son of God,
in howell; reared in penury, squalor,
with no CLEAN of light or fair sur
roundings, without graces, actual or
ACQUIRED; without name or fame or
official training; it was reserved for
this strange being late in life, to be
snatched from obscurity, raised to su-
preme command at supreme moment
and entrusted with the destiny of a
nation.
The great leaders of his party, the
most experienced and accomplished
public men of the day, were made to
stand aside, were sent to the rear,
while this fantastic figure was led by
unseen hands to the front and given
the reins of power. 1t is immaterial
whether we were for him or against
him; wholly immaterial. That, during
four years, carrying with them such a
weight of responsibility as the world
never witnessed before, he filled the
vast space allotted to him in the eyes
and actions of mankind, is to say that
he was inspired of God, for nowhere
else could he have acquired the wis
dom and the virtue.
Where did Shakespeare get his gen.
Jus? Where did Mozart get his mus
ic? Whose hand smote the Tyre of the
Scottish ploughman, and stayed the
life of the German priest? God, God
and God alone; and as surely as they
were raised by God, was Abraham
Lincoln; and thousand years hence,
no drama, no tragedy, no epic poem
will be filed with greater wonder, or
be followed by mankind with deeper
feeling than that which tells the story
of his life and death-Peroration of
address before the Lincoln Union at
the Chicago Auditorium, February u,
1905.

CONGRESS TO FINISH
LABORS in 3 WEEKS

Unforeseen Happens
ADJUSTING REVENUE BILL

WASHINGTON. Sept. II.
Congress will adjourn within the next
three weeks unless some DEVELOPMENT en-
,uey unforeseen blocks the administration
,eaaers program Rapid work during the
last week and favorable prospects for
smooth sailing during the coming fortnight
nave dispelled the gloom among the egis-
latNe pilots who have been trying to steer
Congress to adjournment
rms does not mean, however that Con-
gress will not have to hustle to clean up its
calendar. ON the contrary, every effort will
have to be put forth by leaders TO keep a
quorum of the Senate harmoniously at
work. Here are some Of the important
measures awaiting final action:
The 1883. 900. 900 bond bill
The 1880, 600. 900 war revenue bill
The S,ooo.ooo,O0o urgent deficiency bill.
The Webb export bill
lhe soldiers and sailors insurance bill
The alien draft resolution
Most or the measures, however, have gone
through large part Of the legislative pro-
cedure. Only the concurrence Of the House
IN several minor Senate amendments stand
IN the way OF completing the action on the
big bond bill. 1t is not unlikely that the
measure will be sent to the White House
before evening"
satisfactory progress Is reported on the
enorts OF the conferees to adjust the diff
ierences OF the two houses over the revenue
bill, and complete agreement on the meas
ure ~ expected before the end of the week.
The Senate Appropriations Committee,
anticipating passage Of the $1,000, ,000. 900
urgent deficiency bill by the House today,
has already begun informal consideration
or the measure and will be ready to report
1t to the Senate within several DAYS
The trading with the enemy bill has been
passed by both houses and is being ad-
justed finally in conferences. Those in
charge of the snoasurc expect TO complete
II this week.
The alien draft resolution has been
passed by tho Senate and is awaiting con-
currence Of the House No delay Is ex.
pected in getting It through the House.
The Webb export bill. although urged
by the President, can be ditched until next
session without any serious harm being
done If 1t threatens to delay adjournment.
The chief obstacle in the way Of adjourn
nlent is the soldiers and sailors Insurance.
