There are two statues OF
Lincoln that are moreor less
famous. One by St. Gaudens,
and one by George Grey
Barnard. The former is
conventional, with dignified
.frock-coat and fashionable
apparel; with features pol
.ished by the chisef;; and a
general air of elegance and
refinement that was not ma
tive to the original, nor to
! the manner born. This is a
conception belonging only to
Ethe, bourgeoisie. The sculp-
+. tor had not the genius to
grasp the ideal that his fig
IRE represented. The other,
by Barnard, shows the sub
ject with "gnarled and knot
/ ted hands," with unkenpt
hair, with careless dress and
:! loose-jointed limbs This is
! the true Lincoln. He stood
neither for the a1istocrat
nor the bourgeois. i But he
id stand for and was a part
| of the multitudinous masses
which it is the mission Of
| Democracy to elevate and
refine. AS he said, on an
occasion, God must have
loved the common people;
He made so many Of them~-

rio traditions, could not be

I,incoln's The South con-
Birthday. cedes the great
ness of Abra-
ham Lincoln. In so. doing
She recognizes not: only the
en1inence of one Of her own
Sons, but pays tribute above
ali to one Of the heroic fig
ures in the great war be
tween the States. There IS.
no question in any southern
mind; that Lincoln was q
true friend Of the South, and
that if he had lived the IN
slescribable horrors Of the
\ reconstruction period would
never have blotted Amerl-
can history. ::r
bincoln's chief claim,. tc
greatness was his unerl'ine
intuition Of the spirit Of the
times as it moved and sway
ed the masses. One Of the
lowIiest himself, by birth.
nurture and education, he
eNemplified as no other man
in history,the common sensa
Of the people. This was his
genius. and this it was that
has ever made him beloved
and revered by the toillng
and aspiring multitude.
There is ITO question that
Lincoln saw the true prln-
ciple at issue In the war OF
the states. 1t was moi slav-
cry, it was not q question
Of north or south, il was not
q question Of diverse COM
me1tial interests-it was
solely the right Of a state to
separate itself from a union
into which it had voluntari-
" entered by d compact that
left it just as free to with
draw at its own sovereign
will. He said, during the
war, that if he could prevail
upon the southern states to
re-entel, the union, he would
eliminate the question of
slavery entirely: His whole
course demonstrated con-
cIusively his anxiety for but
one thing, the preservation
Of the union He looked upon
the South ever as one and
homogeneous with the other
American States.
We know. and history
now comedies it, that the
southern states were right
IL their contention. We be-
lieve it would have been far
better to have stood on the
constitutional ground Of
right, and permitted a
peaceful separation. We be-
lieve, just us firmly, that
they would have come to-
gethel' again as the two COM
ponent parts Of the great
stream OF Anglo Saxon civil ;
lization. But il would have !
been without the rancor and !
bitterness that grew out of |
