Eloquent with inspiration is the simple Moiy of Alra
ham LiiH'oln. The story of his life is a wonder tale for
vouth: and from its strnifitles. its triumph its pathos.
the wisest of mankind has garnered new wisdom. It was
lmt fifty years a'o that l.ineoln i-anie into lofty pnmi
itenee. hut since that time he has stood out in the pact's
of history more variously than has any other eharaetei
save, perhaps, Napoleon.
Lincoln was a man of marked individuality he nave
a sense of novelty and distinctness. He was what writers
of the Seventeenth eeiitury would have railed "original."
There is no precedent in history for such a man.
A life eloquent with all that is lt and ureal is Lin
coln's iiift to posterity. His life is one of the u'reatc-t
precepts for the youth of the land. It hows what pluck,
perseverance and hard work ran do in this uic-'i land ol
ours. We see him amid privation and hardship: we sec
him rising as steadily as the sun; we see him struck down
at the summit of his powers. Hut. through the dim vista
of years, his kindly lin e has grown more dear to his peo
ple. M t
" letuit it Mil of me In thosi irlm nunc tin best that
J til ten y ilttekttl n thitlt mitl iihiutal n flmete telnet I
thought a flou t r leoidtl teoie." Those are his words, and
such a man was Ahraham Lincoln unschooled hoy of the
rude frontier, railsplitter, flathoatman, storekeeper, sur
veyor, lawyer, legislator, orator and .'chair-. .miMru
tive statesman, president, martyr.
TlIK CITY TJIAT'-IS," OT"WAS."
The good news eoiues from San Francisco that a laic
issue oi municipal hoiids hae U-eii marketed upon a tour
percent hasis. showing that the city which three years auo
suffered a disaster so appalling that Will I ruin in writ
ing of his hoy hood home found it luvrssarv l i!"ignat"
it as "the city that was.' has established the tinancial
measure of its rehabilitation. The San Francisco Call in
commenting on the fact says :
"At a time when demands on capital are heavy at high
rates of interest a market lor tour per cent bonds is es
jK'cially gratifying and encouraging. There a.e phut,
of gilt-edged securities on .-ale today that pay five per
cent, and safe investments at .-ix per cent are not uin-oni-nion.
A city, therefore, which has a ho.-t of hidders clam
oring for it- bonds at niUih lower rati-- than those qiioteil
may he regarded as tiuatieiallv sound.
"The moneyed men having looked over the ground and
valued the remarkable results accomplished in rc-tora-tion
of a city ravaged hy fire and almost completely laid
in ruins, now say to San Francisco: 'Your credit is go.1.
nay, even it stand- among the highest." The price paid
for the lH'iids is eloquent testimony to the e.-timatc of the
city's future made hy experts of the tinancial world, hy
men whose special business it is to take account of munic
ipal stock in every part of the world.
"Half a dozen years ago the hids made for local mu
nicipal securities would have heen matter of coui-se. not
calling for remark, hut a great many things haw happened
in San Francisco since that period, and. although the con
fidence of our own people in the Suture of the city has
never for a moment wau-red. et it i- uratifyit. to iH
assured that the w . rk we hac doi.e sin. e the fire has .jus
tified that faith in the eye- of tin- ,.ut-idc w rid. I' i.r.i;:
that San Francisco is herself anain and the h"ic w..rld
concedes the fact."
