A NOBLE AMERICAN.
With the passing of Abraham Lin
coln. fifty years ago today, there per
ished one of the world's greatest char
acters < if ail those great ones whose
fame and deeds grace the pages <>f
history it is doubtful if one can he ,
found of nobler character or more
worthy than he who. in the midst of
the most trying period in the history
of our land, when the storm of re
bellion was rolling at its furious height
and threatening to engulf the nation, ,
when sedition and strife tore at the ,
very foundation of the eminence on
which he stood, yet remained steadfast
to the lofty purpose to which he had
dedicated himself, resolving within his
heart to fare the perilous path of duty
"With charity for all, with malice for
none, but with firmness in the right
as Ood has given us to see the right.”
Tile spirit with which he met the . risis
in the affairs of the nation and con
ducted the war to a successful con
clusion in the face of an almost over- ,
whelming opposition are indicitive of a
mind guided by ttie lofty consciousness
that though the way was rough and
long the goal yet lav beyond
The spirit in which the war was
conducted, and his itualifirations for
guiding the ship of state through the
crisis in its affairs of which his elec
tion had been the occasion, tire aptly
indicated in his advice to his generals
when the long suceession of Southern
victories had raised a keen discussion
as to the proper policy to be pursued
While not adverse to receiving sug
gestions as to tactics, the final pre
scription was “keep pegging away”
and it was due to this persistence
alone that won the struggle for the
Xorth in spite of deficient generalship
and faulty tactics in the earlier cam
paigns.
Tho sudden and unexpected termina
tion of Lincoln’s enreer so soon after
winning the nation from its perilous
position, gavo a sort of sanctification
to his character and time has not les
sened the veneration and affectionate
regard which the people of the repub
lic entertain tor him. Xot only in
America, but through all the lands of
earth wherever his name is spoken, lie
is universally looked upon as the savior
of his country and Washington himself
holds no higher place in the hearts of
the American people.
Simple and even careless in his
dress and ilemanor, shrewd and pene
tiative in his judgment of events and
men. gifted with a deep and subtile
sense of humor himself and extremely
fond o' humor in others, he was in all
things a typical, kindly American.
With the passing years the full meas
ure of his greatness has become hettet
known and this, combined with tht
loftiness of his purpose and his firm
reliance in the principles of justice and
of right has cast a halo of fnmo about
bis memory which time cannot dim.
JAPAN PEELING ITS OATS.
Whether Japan's participation in the
present war is making it "feel its oats"
certain it is that Chinese officials have
been disquieted by political and terri
torial demands made by Japan upon
China, following the Japanese occupa
tion of Kiao-Chau. These demands,
twenty-one in number, were communi
cated to the Chinese government on
Jan. 25 bv the Japanese minister. They
insist among other things that China
turn over to Japan all existing German
and Austrian concessions: that China
pledge herself not to give concessions
in the future to any countr\ except
Japan: that Japan receive permission
to build a special territorial railway,
nnd that mining privileges be granted
to Japan in Shantung and Fu-Kien
provinces in Manchuria, in eastern
.Mongolia, and in the Yangtse vallt>\
(It is felt in Peking that tile granting
ml these demands would be equivalent
|t<> turning over to Japan all the re
gions in question as "spheres of in
fluence” to the detriment of the treat'
rights of ether nations. These demands
should make interesting subjects
| of speculation at our own state
Idepwtment in connection with the Jap
anese agreement when tlie German is
1 lands in the Pacific were seized as to
; ihe ultimate disposition of them at the
\ i lose of the war
WISDOM FROM A WAITER
"I'nti] , man forgets where tie came
from and I'eniembers where he is. he
is not all an American."
That epigrnmmatieal utterance was
let fall in Chicago by a waiter, born
in Scandinavia, to a customer the other
i!a\ It is expressive of a great truth.
| v man horn in Europe may have
j every intention of being an American
in this country where his children are
I to live after him And if he cherishes
i fond affection for the particular old
|sod across the water whence he came,
who shall blame him'.' That he should
do so is but natural, and Indicates a
proper heart in a man
Hut Europe no longer is his home
l1 is fortunes are cast here. How Eu
rope fares, may well interest him. Rut
how America fares, concerns him vital
lv. affects his practical interests, will
affect those of his children who are to
live here and will he Americans.
And how fortunate the lot that has
brought him to America, where lie is
more sure of living his days in [mace
than he could be anywhere in Europe!
The chances are small that any sud
den destruction such as has fallen like
a bolt upon the Belgians w ill assail him
here The opportunity for him to eat
unmolested the bread that his own
hands have earned is here better, for
better than anywhere in all the world.
The probability that what lie is able
to save his children will enjoy here ex
ceeds what appertains to any other
corner of the earth. Here he can build
in security : here lie can lay up a store,
here lie can descend to a decent and a
Christian grace
Therefore, every inducement for lin
ing first and foremost an American cit
izen, considering exclusively America's
interest, is presented to our newest
immigrant as well as to the scions of
our oldest stock.
I
Lot us not fiKbt the battles of Eu
rope here, or seek to intluenee out
country's policy in favor of sonic bo!
Ilfrerent abroad. The lines of true
American policy are well determined
