A letter which recently appeared in
the columns of the New York Sn from
prominent heretic, nfflrmioir that
Abraham Lincoln waa disbeliever lo
the doctrine of Christianity, and that
in hU early 2y he wrote an essay
ecking to Chprovt them, ha brought
out in reply many ttatemenU which
establish the contrary view. Among
them is one from Geceral Colli con
tending that Mr. Lincoln was a sincere
and consistent Christian, and Mr. Dana
himself editorially endorto the argu
ment made by Ceneral Colli.
Whatever Mr. Lincoln may have
aid or written abjut religion in hi
youth In of little account compared with
what he wrote and uttered in hi later
life on the tame subject. Hi juvenile
attitude toward the ChrUtUn faith
rest alone upon the testimony of Mr.
Herndon, who, to say the least, I a
veryiaensational, imaginative, and Im
pulsive, and therefore not altogether
reliable witness. The record are too
full offDoeltive expressions by Mr.
Lincoln, showing his great reverence
for religion and hi unostentatious,
natural sense of piety, to leave any
doubt about his acceptance of the fun
damental doctrines of Christianity,
though he was never In any sense a
theologian. RWhen be left .Springfield
for Washington he'said to hi neigh
bors that;he felt he could not succeed
without the same divine blessing which
sustained (Washington. In his own
words: "I hope you,-my Jriends, will
all pray'that I may receive that divine
assistance without which I cannot suc
ceed, but with which success Is cer
tain." These are not the words of an
unbeliever. General Sickles testifies
that after the battle of Gettysburg he
had an audience with Mr. Lincoln and
that the latter explained he- had felt
no anxiety about the issue of the battle
because in the privacy of his apart
ment he had prayed to God for success,
"and 1 then and there made a to.emn
vow to God that if he would lstand by
our boys at Gettysburg I would stand
Ko him n Anil ' ha AiA Mind T mill
KIJ U AUA a fc fUV 'HUM " I ,
Again, these are not the words of an
unbeliever. U A year before1 his death
he wrote tojhis friend Speed: "I am
profitably engaged reading the Bible.
Take .all of this book upon reason that
you can and the balance on faith, and
you will live and die a better man.
Illustrations of this kind might easily
be multiplied. C His speeches and Mr
writings eabound with similar refer
ences. They show not only that he be
lieved in the fundamental doctrines of
Christianity, but that ho had a simple,
natural, trustful, unostentatious, and
undogmatical form of religion. It
would make this worldbetter if more
people were the tame type of Christian
a honest Abraham Lincoln, Chicago

The Candidate fur Mayer.
While we had expected t9 announce
either Alonzo Hull or Angut W. Young
a our candidate for mayor, and admit
our disappointment at not being able
to do so, we now present the name of
Frank D. Black and ask for him the
support of the voter of Seattle.
Mr, Black, while not our personal
choice, was the choice of the cleanest,
fairest conven'lon ever held in Seattle
He received a majority of the votes of
that body in a legitimate msncer, an
its nominee will receive the hearty
support of ,S' ct hI ij-Six. We have had
an Interview with Mr. Black and feel
perfectly satisfied he will be a just and
impartial executive head of the city
government If elected, and there should
bo no question as to his election with
such a man as Dr. Jordan as an oppon
ent. The nomination of Mr. Gilman
by the genuine Populists, is, In our
opinion, a mistake. All the friends of
Mr. Gilman can hope for Is a division
of the best element of the city, thus
giving strength to Jordan. Seattle

The New York Hrrahl, of December
7, 1895, is authority for the statement
that a new Catholic political organlza
tlon has been incorporated in the city
of Baltimore, to be known as the
"American Catholic League," which
it says, "is founded on broad, patriotic
lines, and bated on the essential prlncl
pies of free Institutions. It Is proposed
to make It ono of the most Important
and patriotic organizations that has
ever existed among American Catho
lics. The emblem of the league is t"
American flags at an angle, with a Ro
man cross between, surmounted by a
crown." Pshaw! Another Roman
Catholic trick! There is not enough
patriotism in the entire Roman church
in this, country to form one patriotic
organization. When the A. P. A. col
lides with this league something will
happen and the A. P. A. will still

What C. A. Potter Says.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 31, 1895. The
Howard Medicine Company. Gentle
men: I desire to say to all who feel the
strength of their manhood slowly slip
ping away, whose ambition is at its
lowest ebb, whoso mind is beclouded,
and the senses dulled, when you foel
dyspeptic, and lose your self-respect,
that your blood Is out of order, and all
you need is some of Howard's Vegetone
Blood Powder to tone up your system.
It will act almost Instantly upon the
blood; you will feel the renewed life
and vigor coursing through your sys
tem; you will feel the old-time grip in
your bands; your mind will be as active
at ever; your friends will observe the
Hag of health flying in your face, and
you will feel like a new being. I have
not felt so well for five years as I do
since taking one package of your Blood
Powder, and I feel as strong and active
as ever. I weigh 15 pounds more than
ever in my lite. The change Is ro
marked that it is the subject of com
ment when meeting my friends. I
recommend Howard's Vegetone Blood
Powder to be, as I believe, the greatest
Diooa-punner oneartn.

ThS Irrigated farm Is tha nnlv "nr thtna
farm on the face of the earlb. A nd the beauty of
it is mat never wear out never mils to yield
double the average of noi-lrrliated sections.
There are Irrigated farms lu Mew Mexico that
have been tilled for 200 years and which are to
day as good a new. In Arizona, the I'luia
Indians have for 4U0 years raised the biggest of
big crops from their Irrliratni land. Alnmrtha
N lie. In :gypt, are farms that are more than 4,000
years old and which produce larger and better
yields thau any other lauds In the world.
Due of the best Illustrations of the advantages
of Irrigation Is to be found in the Irrigated district
surrounding Fort Morgan, Colorado, where, dur
ing the last ten years, half a million dollars have
been spent In the construction of a svstem of irri
gating canals which has no siierior anywhere.
A stretch of country SO miles long by 16 wide has
been brought under cultivation and uow presents
an appearance that Is almost Ideal. Fields of
alfalfa, wheat, oals and corn lend brlillancv to
the broad plateau. Thousands of sleek cattle
aud countless flocks of sheep browse iijmiu the
uuu minis giavx-s. nere aim mere an orchard
beuds beneath Its luscious load. A more nourish
ing community does not exist. 4.nl the secret of
It is Irrigation and Cattle. The Morgan County
farmer lives on and from his farm which never
falls to yield double the average of non-iri igaled
sections, and he grows rich on cattle.
Men who are unacquainted with the results of
farming by Irrigation can form no Idea of Its
superiority over ordinary mcthmlsof uirricniiin n
Think what it means to lie able to h tsteu or retard
lh development of growing croi.s to make It
rain when, where and in what volume you wish.
True, all this means closer attention and greater
labor, but are not the results worth It?
In Morgan County there are no cvclones: no
extremes of heat and cold ; no malar a; no crop
failures. The people are friendly. The religious
and educational facilities all thai can be desired.
The markets high priced. The climate the linos.
In the world.
Morgau Countv land Is not "cheap" that Is. II
lsnotcheaplntliesen.se In which that word is
ordinarily understood. The price ranges from
id hi s.ts an acre inciuiiitig iiers-tiial water
right, but as a man can make a iietter living oil
SO acres there than off loo acres anywhere east
of the Kocky Mountains, the apparent ditlerence
ifter all does not count for much, so acres is the
favorite size. One Morgan County farmer gives
It as his experience tliat 1(1 acres under irriga
tion in Morgan Countv Is nreferalile in ii,m h.,i
and most expensive quarter section lu the "rain
belt." The success liu Is meeting with gives
weight to his opinion.
