rye PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

The address Of President Mckinley in
Pfttsburg. welcoming the Tenth Pennsyl-
vania volunteers, ought to pass into his
tory as a monument to the courageous
loyalty of the chief executive. Twas a
splendid review of the situation, a glow
ing tribute to the brave men who breast

acknowledgment of responsibility in the
management of affairs, a strong defense
of the attitude of the government, a plea
for. loyalty and a condemnation Of cop
~perheadism in all it's forms. In speaking
of the ownership of the Philippines he

After speaking Of the forbearance that
had been shown the natives and the de-
sire to surround them and their interests
with every safeguard, n how it finally
became necessary to repel their unwar
ranted aggressions, the president said:

direction. Otis only executed the orders
of his government and the soldiers, un-
der great provocation to strike back.
