LINCOLN AND JACKSON.
Tan rntrtots Whose Names Should Never
fie Forgotten.
Lincoln owed nothing to his birth,
everything to his growth j had no
training save what he gave himself j
no nurture, but only a wild and na-
tivo stroiiRth. His life was his
schooling, nnd every day of it gave
to his character a new touch of
ilcveloinnont. His manhood not
only, hut his perception also, ex
pnmled with his life. His eyes, as
they looked more and more abroad,;
beheld tho national life and compre
hended it, and the lad who had been
so rough cut a provincial became,
when grown to manhood, the one
leader in all the nation who held
the whole pecsple singly In his heart
held even the southern . people
and would have won them back.
and so we have in him what we
must call the perfect development
of native strength, the rounding out
and nationalization of the provin
cial. Andrew Jackson was a type,-
not of the nation, but of the- -west.
For all the tenderness there was in
the stormy heart of the masterful
man, and stanch and simple loyalty
to all who loved him. he learned no
thing in the' east : kept always the
flavor of the rough school in which
he had been bred ; was .never more
than a frontier soldier and a gentle
man. ' ' , . ,
Lincoln differed frpnv Jackson by
all the lengih of his unmatched eapa
city to learn. Jackson couM under
stand only men of hla own kind.
Lincoln could understand men of
all sorts and from every region of
the land ; seemed himself, indeed,
to be all men by turns as mood suc
ceeded mood in his strange nature.

POLITICAL NOTES.
The Wisconsin Democrats declared
for sound money. The Texas con
vention split and will send contest
ing delegations to Chicago. Ohio's
convention is in control of tho sil-
verites and so is that ofGoorgia and
Indiana, while New York will de
clare for sound money.
Senator Quay has sent ex-Gover
nor McKinloy an autograph letter
congratulating him upon the splen
did vote of confidence he received at
the convention, which represented
the absolute thought of tho Repub
lican parties and the nation. Mr.
Quay predicts a triumphant major
ity for the national ticket.
The wheelmen of New Jersey are
for Hobart, and in Rochester, N. Y.,
Wheelman's Republican club has
been formed. This organization will
spread the principles of the party in
every section of the state and carry
its tidings to the individual farmers
in the remotest places.
A careful and conservative estim.
ate of the strength of the free silver
ites at Chicago, including the dele
gates already elected and those of
the six states yet to be chosen, gives
the silver men 587 votes to 337 for
gold. Enough to force the adoption
of a free silver plank but not suffici
ent to nominate a candidate for the
presidency.
Mark A. Hanna,the national chair
man, recommends to the Republi
can party red, white and blue pam
pas plumes, mounted fan -shape on a
staff , for parades and interior decora'
tions.
Senator Allison says McKinley's
candidacy will grow in publio favor
day by day as the election ap
preaches. " When inaugurated, as
he will surely be, he will safely,
wisely ana justly administer our
great affairs. The nomination of
Garret A. Hobart of New Jersey,
for Vice-President, is an eminently
fit one."
New Hot Water Mater.
Experiments are now being made
with a hot water motor on the New
York Central road. Its great merit
is its cheapness. Extensive plants
are not required and the cars can be
operated on any track. The hot
water is under enormous pressure
stored in supply boilers and charged
under tne same pressure in the but
tery cylinders of the motors. Gen
eral Superintendent Van Etten and
General Traffic Manager Guilford
are interested in the new company
A well Known Pastor Dead.

Patriotism Is Deration to the Well Being
nnd Happiness of the Xatlon.
We are one people with a common
country. This is the leading and
controlling fact in our national his
tory. It is the fact which we should
dwell upon. From it we should take
all our reckonings.
We are one people. This means
racial a nd traditional identity.
We possess a common country,
This means a common destiny.
Patriotism does not mean mere at
taehment to institutions, mere love
of an emblem nor mere devotion to
the material interest of a geograph
ical division. It must comprehend
the affections, and the affections can
only be excited and kept alive by
tliose'living objects which can return
thorn. Patriotism, therefor e, must
mbrnco affection for our people and
devotion to whatever contributes to
their happiness and raises them in
the scale of being. There is good
feeling prevailing today throughout
all the borders of our country. To
cultivate that good feeling is the
first duty of the patriot.
To be true Americans we must
show toleration to differences of
opinion both past and present. We
must be forbearing to prejudices.
We should be moderate in our own
demands and expressions. We
should possess charity for the faults
forgiveness for the errors and ad
miration for the virtues of all our
countrymen, and let oar eyes be
ever uplifted to the guiding star
we are one people with a common
country." Senator Daniel in Inde
pendent.
Lorenzo Dow, McKinney, a - pro
minent farmer of Sciota county,
Ohio, recently inserted the follow

" Notice The funeral seradte of
the undersigned will be preached
Fallen Timber, on Sunday ,.Jone 21,
at 2.30 p. m. "U V. MCKJKHSY.
Asked to give his reason for hav
ing his funeral sermon preached be
fore his death, he said : " I am not
having this done to be queer, or fojr
notoriety. The Bible says that phf)
days of a man are threescore and
ten years, , I have always said that
if I lived to be 80 years old I would
consider myself dead, and a funeral
would naturally follow. I will be
60 years old on June 17, and will
consider myself as dead, and will
have my funeral sermon preached
on the first Sunday following, which
will be June 17. Any time I may
live after June 17th I shall not con
sider as mine. It will only be bor
rowed time."
The funeral sermon was preached
in the presence of a large congrega
tion. Mr. McKinney set beside the
coffin which will eventually contain
his remains, and paid the closest at
tion while the minister in a careful
and serious manner discoursed of
his life and character.
