One of the g’lxnl things about the opening days o f spring, 1909, is the war clouds; a fleecy substance that quickly blow away.” Mr. Taft hopes that the Panama canal will tie completed within the next four years. That would be a fine administrati v-8' monunient. Fire and water are good servants, but bad masters. The annual fire waste in this country is $200,000,- 000, and the flood loss is over $100, 000,000 a year. The constitution of the United States is such a triumph io conden sation that those most learned in it occasionally meet with a surprise on consulting the original docn menL Many persons are citing Lincoln’s gloomy prediction about the result in the presidential election of 1864. as an evidence that he was not a prophet Gov. Hughes seems to have fallen into this mistake. The reference, of course, is made to Lincoln’s memorandum to his cabinet in the summer of 1864, in which he cited his belief that McClel lan would he chosen president in the campaign of that year. Betpiuse the election, a few months later, turned out the other way by a large majority, present day critics ac cuse Lincoln of an inability to read the signs of flie Times. However, it is the critics, and not Lincoln, who are astray. A good many things took place between Lincoln's gloomy forecast of the prospects of the campaign and the actual voting. In the interval Farragut captured Mobile; Sherman drove Hood out of Atlanta; and Sheridan swept Early, and the rest of the Confederates out of the Shenan doah valley. “Farragut has knocked all the planks out of the Chicago platform,” exclaimed Seward, when news of the fall of Mobile arrived. The reference there being to the “peace-at-any-price-platform” on which “Little Me” stood, as the“democratio candidate. Thus Farragut, Sherman and Sheridan, broke the hack hone of the rebellion. The situation in favor of the re-election of Lincoln was changed so swiftly, and so com pletely, th a t’Fremont, the candidate of the radical repub licans, withdrew in favor of Lincoln a few weeks before election. Here are the causes of the .divergence between Lincoln’« forecast in August rind the result of the voting in November. At the time the Lincoln memorandum was prepared the outlook for the republicans in the election was decidedly dark. But all-was changed by the victories of the Union forces by land and water. This is how it occurred that Lincoln received 212 elec toral‘votes in the cahvass, as compared with 21 for McClel lan. The latter day chroniclers, when looking at these ’ figures, say that the result of the campaign of 1864 was at no time in doubt. The men who were on the ground at the time, and who were better able to see the actual conditions, saw many things which are not visible how, and could es timate the situation more accurately than others can, 45 years after those great and stirring. events.
