LINCOLN'S LESSON FROM THE
COUNTRY PREACHERS.
The first chapter in the Lincoln
Series in McClure's magazine makes the
impression of a story too much told.
Great as tho interest in the emancipator
is, so mnch repetition, print and re
print, wear off the nap, so to speak, and
leave the great figure in threadbare gar
ments. It will be j ist as well if no
more guiOec net up for a while to con
duct us in :im; "tit oi Tom Lincoln's
wretched c.tbins in Kentucky and Indi
ana. The public hasjseen enough, for
some time to come, of their doors with
out doors, windows without glass, floors
without stick or splinter of wood, cham
ber without beds, and of their one
legged stools, no-legged tables and bow
legged dogs. In all hero worehfp ample
room must be given for the imagination,
for that is one of its essential elements.
Bjtit what is said in the article of the
country preachers is significant. They
wererthe first public speakers whom the
little ;boy, who was to go from ft Ken
tacky' cabin to the White House, heard.
From these came the first impression of
the great struggle going on in the world,
that it is a conflict between light and
wrong. No doubt that they were un
learned enongh, that their utterances
were crude, their elocution full of back
woods awkwardness, their gestures wild
as winds in the tree tops, their voices
stentorian, - their illustrations often
lurid, and their arguments without
threads, links or line-fences, but there
must often have been the transparency
of sincerity, the eloquence of earnest
ness and the power of soul-felt convic
tions. Voices they were in the wilder
ness, but voices to the human conscience,
'and although they may have reasoned
of righteousness and judgment to come
in a way which would offend the dilet
antteism of the present day, yet as they
set God and heaven on one side, and sin.
Satan and the world of darkness and de
epajr on the other, the 'child Lincoln
saw the line between the two, the eter
nal cleavage between right and wrong,
God and satan, heaven and hell.
Then and there came the conviction
that there can be no compromise be
tween the two,' that the separation be
tween good and evil must go on until
there is a great gulf fixed. This convic
tion grew with his growth, ripened with
his intellect, fruited with his experience,
declared itself in the "higher law," for
inulated itself in the never-to-be-forgot
ten utterances that "a divided house
cannot stand, that "a country cannot
bo half slave and half free," that "you
can repeal the Missouri Compromise
and the constitution, but you cannot
repeal the moral nature of n man," and
at last it made him president and eman
cipaior. uor wno uoubts tnat it was
Lincoln's moral clearnees and moral
force added to his intellectual clearness
and ability that gave him the nomina
tion for tho presidency? The Eeed
which the Kentucky preachers planted
in the young mind may have been no
larger, than the grain of mustard seed,
but it grew until it became a great tree
and all the honors of the nation and the
fame of ages lodged in its branches.
Advance.
MORE ABOUT THE MESSAGE.
Tacoma Union : In the case of PresI
dent Cleveland's message, read to con
press yesterday, it may be eaid of it
from a non-partisan standpoint, that i
is disappointing to the country.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer: As was to
be expected, Mr. Cleveland insists that
our revenue receipts have nothing to do
wiin tne maintenance oi the gold re-
6erve, . on tl.e difficulty of preserving
the integrity of which he writes at
length. In holding this view he veiv
plainly misses the fundamental trouble
with the treasury, probably for the sim
ple reason that lie doesn't care to view
- it in the right light.
Tacoma Ledger . Mr. Cleveland points
with pride to the fact the Argentine Re;
public "recognizing tho value':"of th
large market opened to free importation
of its wools, under' our last tarifract,
has admitted certain products of the
United States to enter at reduced
duties." What these products are, or
what the value of this trade is to us be
does not say. But the effect of the law,
eo far as we are concerned, has been to
reduce our wool clip by 100,000,000
pounds'per year, and to reduce the price
by 50 per cent- . . v
Oregonian : The people of tho United
States do not believe that the more they
import from foreign countries the better
for their "own country ; that the more
nearly they . reduce their labor, to the
-. '. . .. .' ' ;. I ' ...
conditions of labor in foreign countries,
the better for themselves; that cneap
foreign goods are more to be desired
than good prices for our own products,
or steady employment of onr own labor
at good wages. But with Mr. Cleveland
and his political family, comioriaoie in
possesion ot omce ana weaun, ineory
has ran away with fact, and ' cheapness
has become the sole principle of their
economic statesmanship. The theory
makes China, exemplar of cneapneEe.ine

A Society Brent.
With an ideal hostess, an ideal house,
charming entertainment and a most
sumptuous luncheon, the lady friends of
Mrs. Daniel French spent a-never-to-be.
forgotten afternoon on Friday. From
the moment of entering the hospitable
house to the moment of departure, was
one continuous rounu or. enjoyment.
Giving answers, found on a penny, to
questions from the score cards was the
main occupation of the afternoon, and
from the peals of laughter ' it was ' very
evident, that the guests entered" fully
into the fun and appreciated the novelty
of the idea. Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Eshel-
man and Mrs. Hostetler had the most
correct answers and drew lots to see
who should carry off the beautiful
prize. Mrs. Eshelman's star was in the
ascent and she captured the silver bon
bpn basket to always remind her of the
wisdom of carrying one a ' wits about
with one. There were present, Mee-
dames Lord, Condon, Myers, Wilson; H
