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 only prevented by the news of pence during the session, In the war between the states. Lin coln used preventions in abundance. He snld In the beginning. "Bullets fol low ballots;" he suppressed many newspapers; he Imprisoned 38.00ft prl- nte citizens without law or warrant. FT. GAINES. Ga„ Dec. 29.—Clay county has asked that other counties follow th* action taken here yesterday when a bale of cotton was burned in the streets after a mass meeting of farmers and merchants, as an example of what should be done with the sur plus crop of the staple. The farmers believe that some radi cal means should be token to arrest the present downward tendency of prices. Many Inquiries have been received here asking confirmation of the occur rence. POKING FUN. BILL'S !N TROUBLE. J " ‘ r0rri right 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- An’ my ol’ h**rt Is heavy as an anvil In my breast To think the boy whose futuri I had once so proudly planned Should wander from the pa' aji* come to such an end.

Another official butted Into the ar gument nt thla Juncture and cut loose with the following: “I nee," said he, “that It Is not stat ed how many bales were burned. I would Just like to know, and in the absence of such Information, take it that the number Is so small that the sender of the dispatch did not care to say. In my opinion there were more yells/ and whoops nnd smoke thnn there was fire, as I can’t see how any thing of value can be accomplished by such work. But boys will be boys, es pecially at Christmas times, and I account for thla thing In this way." to Veep from belnrr arrested while In lawful QMembly and lawfully discuss ing the propriety of secession, “Sew ard." a man after Lincoln’s own heart, “said to Lord Lyons?" “My Lord.

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.

Yet Lin coln was a humane man and cruel on- 1) when cruelty would Increase hla chances of sueem^ then he was both cruel nnd false. 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.

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.
