LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG SPEECH "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth ipon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposi tion that all men are created equal. We are engaged In a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. "We are met on a great battlefield of that war. Ve are met to dedicate a portion of that field as a final rest ing place Of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. "But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remem ber, what we say here; but it can never forget what they did here. "It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have thus far so nobly car ried, on. "It is rather for us to be here, dedi cated ti 'the great task remaining be fore us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died In vain; that this nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom; and that govern ment of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Ninety-four years ago today, Abra ham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the Uiiltet' Plates, was born. Lewfc and Ciark had just returned from the mouth of the Columbia to the settlement of the East. The broken story of the Pacific Ccast was being told with all the ornamentations of a fairy tale at tho firesides of New England and tho South. The frontiersmen of Kentucky and Ohio wro gliding Into tho wilderness, here ami there and laying foundations for the matclileos cities and common- wealths of today. In Keitvck). Daniel Boone was, fighting Indians, piloting the straggl- Ing settlers from the eastward Into his blue grass domain and trading on the Ohio River with tho French from tho norm ana tne Spaniards from tho south. From the scanty settlement at St LOtltfl. TVPafwnrrl till) maonlA..n, ' -. hi tuufeu.uwub UiVA' of tho United States lay smiling In' Idle granduer. From tho Mississippi eastward, the scattering settlements of Ohio, Ken tucky and Tennessee scut up their cabin smoko, hero and there among tho forests like Incense from tho now made altars of an empire. In this wilderness, among these per ilous forests, Lincoln Imbibed tho na tive strength of soul and the staunch, unostentlous wisdom that afterward served him so well' In tho hazardous station to which his countrymen call ed him. Plain, humble, God-fearing, broad, tolerant In an intolerant age, calm in a day when passion blazed from ovry thought, magnificent In mind and strong In execution, gentle, sympathet ic, poorly understood at times, but always the same unruffled- citizen, Lincoln stands near the head of tho list of American presidents. It may he that the occasion made tho man. Lincoln, a lawyer In Springfield, might have lived and died within a very small sphere of activity and acquaintance. As a congressman he might have left no record worthy of recounting. As president during an era of peace he might have filled the place with credit, but without the marked char acteristics that have made him Im mortal as a war president. He might have been unknown out side his district in an age that furn ished no keen Incentives to patriotic action. He lived in an age of conflict. The Indians were fighting the settlers, his parents and neighbors during his childhood. The government was in a formative period and Its contending elements gave birth to strong minds. It made men great, by the great ness of its opportunities. It invited iren to think and fill up the mental space suggested and created by Its Issues. The opportunity of his age found hi mendowed with the rugged, native strength to arise to its need. ter, has had a rovlval of horse steal ing. It Is most unfortunnto that the life of ft bravo and efficient officer should ho tacrlllced In the strugglo of the law against this Infamous crime. The 1)111 levislng Pendleton's char ter passed the senate with n strong vote, yesterday. While the sentiment of the city is divided upon tho subject, the people gracefully acknowledge that splendid oil rule which Is the life and backbone of free government: "Tho will of the people is the supreme law." The Holse Capital News says the deadlock In Oregon and other northern states Is evidence enough that tho method of selecting our United States senators is al wrong. Much better Is the Southern Idea of exalting the pri mary and making It the means of ex pressing the popular will. Lyons broke down and wept like a child after his arrest. He could shoot a man in cold blood, yet with his own neck "in danger loses big nerve. He Is a cheap desperado. EugCne fSuard.

Tokio Letter. POVERTY. The people call him rich, his lands Stretch very tar and very wiue; They call him rich, but there ho stands 111 clad and bent ami hollow eyed. The people call him rich; lib gold Is piled In many n yenow nenp, But ho is all alone and old, And when he dies no ono will weep They call him rich, hut where ho dwells Tho floors aro bare, the walls aro bleak; They cnll him rich; ho buys and sells. But no. fond fingers stroke his cheek. They call him rich: he does not know The hannlness of standing where Sweet winds across the meadows blow And toss tho verdant billows there. S. E. KISER, In Harper's. THE BETTER SIDE. WOMAN'S TRUE ORIGIN. Ten years ago Eugene V. Debs was put in jail for leading a labor organi zation in its just demands for better wages and more congenial conditions in which to work. Yesterday Judge Gayuor, of New York, In charging a jury, sitting upon the case of a union man accused of being a nuisance, said: "Tho streets are for the use of all tho people. If the capital of this country has a right to organize so has labor." This evolution of ten years Is full rec ompense for all the kicks that have been administered to the working-men. The Philippines are too close to the East Indian Empire, with Its love of pageantry and barbarism, to ever be free from slaves and harems. The pi ess dispatches announcing that pa rents among the uncivilized tribes, willingly sell their children into servi tude, will be excellent campaign liter ature for Senator Hoar, Just at this tlmo. It seems that commerce is not the only blessing that has followed the flag to Luzon. The arid land law Is not to under go any great change at this sosslon. If it Is only changed to limit tho time the Irrigation companies working un der contract hold the land, to tho dato of tho completion of the ditches, and allow settlers to locate upon lands not actually used by the companies, It will be of great service to tho people. Tho bill to repeal tho $5,000 limit of i ecovcry for damages In caso of death, of an employo, through negligence, failed to pass. While It Is possible for a jury to award an Injured man any amount of damages It sce3 fit, tho fam ily of a dead man can recover but $6,000 for tho loss of his support. That a sheriff or Oregon should bo murdered In cold blood by a horso thief, Is sufficient cause to warrant a swift and severe penalty. Within tho past two years Oregon, In every quar- At the beginning of lime, Twashtri the Vulcan of the Hindu Mythology created the world. But when he wished to create a woman lie found that ho had employed all his materi als In the creation of man. There did not remain one soid element. Then Twashtri, perplexed, fell Into a piofound. meditation. He roused himself to do as follows: He took the roundness of the moon, the undulations of the serpent, the entwinement of climbing plants, tho trembling of the grass, the slender- ness of tho rose vine and the velvet of tho Mower, the lightness of the leaf and the glance of the fawn, the gayety of the sun's rays and tears of 'mist, the inconstancy of the wind and the timidity of tho hare, the vanity of the peacock and the softness of tho down on the throat of the swallow, the hardness of the diamond, the sweet flavor of honey and the cruel ty of the tiger, the warmth of fire, tlie chill of snow, the chatter of the jay and the cooing of the turtle dove. He united all this and formed wo man. Then he made a present of her to man. Eight days later tho man camo to Twashtri rnd said: "My Lord, tho creature you gavo me poisons my existence. She chatters without rest, she takes all my time, she laments for nothing at all, and Is always ill." And Twashtri received tho woman again. But eight days later the man came again to tho god and bald: "My Lord, my life is very solitary since I return ed this creature. I remember she danced before me, singing. I remem ber how sho glanced at me from the corner of her oye, that she played with me, clung to me." And Twash tri returned the woman to him. Threo days only passed and Twash tri saw the man coming to him again. "My Lord," said he. "I do not under stand exactly how, but am 3uro that the woman causes me more annoy ance than pleasure. I beg of you to relieve mo of her." But .Twashtri said: "Go your way and do your best." And the man cried: "I cannot live with her!" "Neither can you live without her," replied Twashtri. And the man was sorrowful, murmuring: "Woe unto me. I can neither live with or without her." Hindoo Mythology. AN AGED STATESMAN. Senator Pettus of Alabama Is near ly 82 years old and Is good for a term which will last him. If ho sur vives, until he Is 88. He Is a peace ful, quiet old gentleman although ho has seen much strife having been an officer In both tho Mexican and Civil wars. ' It Is understood that his elections have never cost him a dollar and It Is a very remarkable fact that this is the first and only office ho has ever held; It was not necessary that be run the gauntlet of town, county and stato office, but ho leaped fully equip ped Sot service In tho United States senate, Tho only senso ln which ho can be said to bo unfortunate is that ho has never had enough position In his political career to key him up to a vigorous exercise of all his aggres sive and defensive abilities.
