PRI.SIUEMTIAI. PHRASES.
Not a few of the men who have be
come presidents of the United States
have given utterance in one way or
another, to phrases which are indel
ibly stamped upon the pages of our
literature and have become so per
manent and familiar as to be house
hold words.
Comparatively speaking, however,
these utterances or happy expres
sions as they may be called, aré rare.
There are no striking instances of
these recorded as coming either ftom
Washington, the Adamses, Monrie,
Polk, Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce, B i-
chanan, Johnson, Hayes, Arthur, or
either of the Harrisons. We are not
perfectly sure, but we believe that
Jefferson said: “We are all republic
ans, we are all federalists.” Consider
ing Mr. Jefferson’s philosophical
habit and his voluminous writings,
it is somewhat to be wondered at
that he has left no remarkable ex
pression, political or otherwise.
Andrew Jackson may not be fairly
considered in the list either, although
his favorite oath, “by the eternal,”
is familiar and is more or less used
by latter day stump speakers.
One of the finest phrases uttered
by any American and one which is
always kept in stock by speakers and
writers is Martin Van Buren’s “the
sober second thought.” It has
strength, alliteration and a certain
fine meaning that will ever make it
applicable.
It has long been received and be
lieved that General Zachary Taylor
said to Capt. Braxton Bragg—after
wards the noted confederate general
—at Buena Vista, “A little more
grape. Captain Bragg,” but the cruel
iconoclasts now affirm that Taylor
never gave any such command, and
we must, accept this “higher criti
cism” in profane as in scriptural af
fairs, or be regarded as behind the
times.
Lincoln has left a rich legacy of
popular and striking expressions, to
be found in his public addresses,
campaign speeches and messages.
One of the most beautiful and note
worthy is “With charity toward all;
with malice toward none.”
As a soldier General Grant assist
ed in immortalizing himself by his
famous saying: “I propose to fight it
out on this line if it takes all sum
mer;’’ and as a president by giving
utterance to that lofty sentiment:
“Let us have peace.”
President Garfield, who was per
haps the most scholarly and accomp
lished man who ever occupied the
White House, uttered a magnificent
phrase on a memorable occasion. In
attempting to quiet a mob in New
York City when Lincoln was assassi
nated he declared in stentorian tones
which had a magical effect: “God
reigns and the government at Wash
ington still lives!”
Cleveland has coined many notable
expressions. As a phrase-monger
he stands unequaled by any of his
predecessors. “Tell the truth;” “in
nocuous desuetude;” and in his recent
letter accompanying the enactment
of the new tariff bill into a law,
“communism of pelf.”

hit him with a whip, besides whip
ping a five-year-old boy. The Brown

Al Heminger, foreman of the Lake

The shock of suddenly having four

contemplation of the horrible tragedy
enacted, was too much for him. He
imagines both the lynchers and a
mob of Lakeview citizens are after
him. Last week he fled into the

hope that his hallucination will dis
