Pixies murder has any connection with

Some Extracts From Hon. II. z. Porter's
Life of Mckinley.
Major Mckinley has been a resident
of Canton for so many years that prob
ably majority of the citizens of that
place are of the opinion that he is ma
tive Cantonian, but he was born at
Niles, Trumbell county, and spent a
good part of his youth at Poland, Ma
honing county. All his life Major Nc
Kinley has been member of the Meth
odist Episcopal church and in Canton
he belongs to the congregation of the
First NJ. E. church. Not only the mem
bers of that denomination, but the
public generally will be interested in
the following statement by Mr.. R. P.
Porter in his new book:
''The church records show that young
Mckinley in 1858, when he was hardly
sixteen, united with the Methodist
Episcopal church of Poland. The min
lister, Rev. w. F. Day, d. D., was a
man of great influence, and subse-
quently eminent in his profession. Dr.
Days son, Wilson M. Day. is now pres
ident of the Cleveland chamber of com
merce. Mckinley, like SO many other
successful men, seems to have had the
faculty of utilizing all the educational
forces within his reach. Aside from
any deep religious convictions, the
church, when in the hands of a scholar
ly man, was an influential educational
factor in place like Poland. Young
McKinleys record in the church was
that of an earnest. persevering Chris
tian, who discharged all duties faith
fully.
"They say at Poland he was eternal

''He took up the study of the Bible in
the same thorough way that he did the
law, and later in life questions of state,
and went to the bottom of the subject
Thus between the age of fourteen and
the time he enlisted, this young Ameri'
can statesman must have worked very
hard. A close student, and always ur
with his academy studies, occupied ey'

THE five free-silver Senators who
voted against the emergency revenue
bill were justly arraigned by Senator
Morrill, when he declared boldly on the
floor of the Senate that the Republi-
cans were in minority in that body.
John Sherman, with his old-tme fire
and fervor, pleaded for action of some
kind to relieve the deficit of $50, OOO 600
annually in the revenues of the govern
ment, but it is not likely that action
will now be taken to supply the treas
ury with the money needed to meet its
obligations. The free silver movement
long ago committed itself to the policy
of "rule or ruin" and it is certain not to
change base at this late date.
No free.silver legislator has yet
shown that he is genuine Republi-
can at heart and the Republican party
should not be held responsible for the
failure of the tariff bill. AS Senator
Morrill, said, we are in minority in
the Senate.

Major Mckinley belongs to number
of organizations. Mr.. Porter tells the
following interesting story as to how
he came to join the Masonic order:
MCKINLEY is a Knight Teinpler, a
Bnight Of Pythias, andis also a Greek
Fraternity man. His entrance into
Masonry swas an incident OF the war
and rather unique. Mckinley was go-
ing through hospital with one of the
regimental surgeons. He noticed that
the surgeon and some of the confed-
crate wounded were very friendly to
each other and in several instances the
surgeon gave money to the prisoners.
There was an unmistakable bond of
sympathy between them. Young Nc
Kinley asked the surgeon if he knew
these prisoners. The surgeon told him
they were brother Masons. Young
Mckinley was SO much impressed
by the friendly feeling existing
between Confederate and Union
Masons that he expressed the desire to
join the order. He was made Mason
in Hiram lodge, Winchester, Va, May
1865, receiving his degree at the hands
of Confederate master of the lodge.
After establishing himself in Canton
he took some higher degrees, but he
had not little difficulty in getting the
record of his initiation from the Win.
chester lodge. That record is as fol
