In Amerlran history there may be
greater names than 4 either Jefferson or
Lincoln, but they are the two great ex
ponents of opposing political forces.
The policy of each one Is a reflection
of his personal character, and of the
sentiment of the times In which he
came to the front Jefferson was the
founder of Democracy, or rather he
formulated its principles and empha
sized Its policy. Lincoln was not the
founder of Republicanism, but like
Jefferson, he formulated Its principles
and emphasized its policy. Jefferson
was a strong lover of personal liberty
and of developing Individuality among
the people, he believed In the sov
ereignty of the states, not in their leg
islative but In their conventional ca
pacity and wished their powers so es
tablished as not to bo Interfered with
by the fed<yal government, he believ
ed In a strict construction of the na
tional constitution and that the union
was a compact between the states.
Lincoln was an advocate of a atrong
central government, he did not wish to
develop individualism among the peo
ple but rather to merge their indivi
duality Into one homogeneous national
mass. He had no regard for Individual
rights or state governments when
these wore not in accord with the In
terests of the central government. He
believed In majority rule and that the
majority could do no wrong. He did
not agree with Jefferson that a ma
jority can tyranlxe as well as u king.
Incoln rejected the European Ideu
that "a king can do no wrong." but
accepted the Idea that a majority can
do no wrong. He believed the voice of
the majority was above the constitu
tion. that It was the highest 'known
law of the land, that It 1s the voice of
the government itself and must not be
questioned. Jefferson feared to trust
majority lest It might pervert the
government and overthrow the liber
ties of the people. Lincoln believed It
to be the safeguard of their liberties.
Jefferson desired states cemented by
patriotism, love and common interest,
that such a union would prevent any
oppression of the weak by the strong,
that the union would grow by accre
tion. that any state would be willing to
come Into the Union If the door wns
left open for Its exit when unfslrly
trented. Lincoln like the same cement,
but had no confidence In Its strength
to hold the Union together, but trust
ed the strength of bayonets to pin the
states Ino a solid Union. Jefferson's
policy held the states together for
nearly a century, and Lincoln's for for
ty-five yenrs to the present.
In tho WAr of !812<>13 the English In
vaded tho United States and occupied
Michigan, but when our government
attempted to Invade Canada, our aol-
dlert refused to cross the line In suf
ficient numbers-to be effective. Presi
dent Msdlson, a type of Jefferson, did
not force them across, neither did he
arrest any of the leading politicians
who wers denouncing the war or sup
press any outspoken newspapers; ho
even allowed New England to meet In
lawful convention for the purpose of
seceding from the Union which was

How News of Cotton Burning Was Re
ceived in Atlanta.
ATLANTA. Ga., Dec. 29.—The offi
cials of the state house are having a'
good deal of fun at the expense of the
merchants and farmers of Fort Gaines
and Clay county, because of the alleg
ed burning of a number of balefe of
cotton on the streets of Fort Gaines,
to show that the people of Clay county
are In favor of reducing the supply of
cotton by dlstroylng a few bales of the
staple In public, and Indulging In a
sort of war dance around the blaze.
Just how many bales were consigned
to the flames Is not announced but it
Is safe to say that the number is not
sufficiently large to shock the market,
or drive the speculators to suicide.
It Is announced In the report sent
out from Fort Gaines that the mer
chants and fanners of Clay county are
In favor of giving two million bales to
the flames, thereby reducing the crop
that much, with the hope of advancing
the price of what Is left, and that Fort
Gaines has started the movement. It
Is given out that large crowds of citi
zens paraded up and down the streets
of the city, and around the fire yelling
and whooping until their lungs were
completely worn out, and that the oc
casion was spectacular from away
back.
"What do I think of It?" said an of
ficial, when asked for an expression.
"Why I think the fool killer should
get a rapid firing gun and go down to
Fort Gaines as quickly as possible. He
will find plenty of material there to
work on, if the reports sent out are
true. In my opinion It shows that the
people of Clay county who have cot
ton to burn, must have more cotton
than sense."
"Why not call out the boll weevil?"
sail another official, "and let It do the
work of reducing the cotton crop. Tho
Insect can destroy the cotton as effect
ively as fire and with less trouble and
expense to the farmer. But possibly
the farmers would not hnve as much
fun In getting rid of their cotton by
the boll weevil route, as the spectacu
lar effect of the thing would be Hllml-
natod from the programme. There
would be no marching of men and
whooping nnd yelling, nnd the conse
quence the sensntlonnl effect of the
affair would be last In the shuffle.'
"Why this whole thing looks to me
childish In tho extreme," Injected an
other officials. "It strikes me that peo.
pie who can afford to burn cotton for
fun can afford to keep It, regardless of
how low tt drops. I have a few bales
on my plantation and I am not going
to burn them. I am going to keep
them as long as I can. and then sell
them for what I can get for them re-

Lincoln compelled all men In the
Southern and border states that he
could reach to take the oath of allegi
ance. H* laid waste with fire nnd
sword the villages and Isnda of the
South; he laid hands not only on what
was contraband of war. but all else
that might support the women and
children of the South.
Llk Napoleon, he consulted no law
of nations, no constitution but only tho
law of success which he well under
stood. Ho thought that resolatlon
would cause desertion of the aoldlers
to see after their homeless and starv
ing families. Ills representatives even
argued that this would be more hu
mane warfare than to attack the full
ranks In the field. He refused to ex
change prisoners because numbers
counted more In the South thnn tn the
North. To enrage the North and make
the war popular he accused the Con
federates of starving federal prison
ers, and In retaliation he put Con
federate prisoners on starving rations.
He stoutly protested at ftrat the Idea
of freeing the slaves, but os scon as
the war began he encouraged the
slaves to desert their homes and find
protection within federal lines; and
emment as leader of the Marine Band
he proudly appended the Initials IT. 8.

his full signature read "John Philip 80.

If Jefferson had been In Lincoln's
place he would have conciliated the
slave states and saved the union
without coot of money and blood. If
he had resorted to war he would have
completely failed by not resorting to
the unconstitutional measure* that
gave Lincoln success. He would have
sent back runaway slaves even If he
had been an abolitionist—and perhaps
he was. If Lincoln had been In Madi
son's place he would have driven the
British out of Canada and would have
held It with a firm grip when peace
was made. He would have suppressed
some newspapers. Imprisoned malcon
tents, slapped New England In the
face and imprisoned the members of
the Hartford convention.

There can be little doubt tn the minds
of thoughtful observers that we are on
the eve of a new party alignment and
that the lfnea of division will be deter
mined In very large degree by tho pol
icies of the,new administration. What
ever they may be. It Is above all things
Important that they shall be de
mined by honest differences of opinion
and not by sectional interests and pre
judice. for not until all sections are In
terwoven tn a community of thought
and action can we be really one peo
ple. There (s no more hopeful sign of
this con summation than the now evi
dently pending break up of the solid
Booth- There will always be. there
must be. where thought is free, two
part lee; there ^ught to be and
h- but country.-—PhiL*c
