sympathy for the President

The universal sympathy for the
wounded president is reflected in the
country's newspapers. The few edi-
torial comments which follow may be
taken as typical of the tone Of the
whole press, north and south.
The New York Times (dem.) says:
1.-The president has lived openly, sim
ply, a life in close accord with the old,
the good traditions of our land. He has
neither paraded nor concealed his
practice of what most Americans re-
gard-thank Heaven-as the virtues
belonging to the home. This, too, the
people could understand, and for this
they have respected and trusted and
loved him. They are bound to him by
ties of peculiar n lasting sympathy.
Their hearts &c out to him. Their
prayers, in millions of homes, go up for
him. God guard and save him."
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph (dem.)
says: ITO the people of the south this
tragedy is peculiarly shocking. AL
though of another political party than
most of is, President Mckinley is very
popular in this section of the country.
He has been a friend of the south; he
has done a great deal to abate the
prejudiceS growing out of the civil
war. When in Macon he wore a Con-
federate Veterans badge. In u state
capital he declared that the bones of
the confederate soldiers ought to be
cared for by the national government"
The Baltimore Sun (dem.) says: LAS
he lies upOn his bed of suffering Pres
ident Mckinley has such solace as can
come to him from the knowledge that
he has the profound and heartfelt
sympathy of every section Of the coun-
try and of every true man and wo-
man in it. His kindly personal charac-
ter has made him popular " with his
political opponents, and as Americans
they resent with ~unspeakable indigna-
ton and horror the act OF the assassin
and unite in the prayer that his life
may be preserved to his friends and
country"
The Atlanta Journal (dem.) says:
Our presidents have, without eXcep-
ton. been men of high and noble char
acter. but not one of them has been
more universally beloved than William
Mckinley. No sectional lines bound
the extent of the affection in which he
is held. The dearest purpose Of his
heart has been to soothe the last ling
ering soreness that was left by our
civil strife. n his hand has laid upon
it the balm of healing as no other hand
yer did"
The Montgomery Advertiser (dem.)
says: IF the prayers and hopes of the
people of the southern states can avail
his life will be spared and the term for
which he vas elected be filed by him
to the last moment"
The Atlanta Constitution (dem.)
says: 1.-The nation is shocked at the
bastard deed; the hearts of the people
bleed for the distinguished victim; but
nowhere is the shock deeper nor the
affection felt stronger than in the
south"

The other day The Republican called
attention to the fact that the univer-
sity was not receiving from Laramie
county the patronage it deserved. The
Leader now advises the people of
and Laramie county to inves'
tigate the merits of u educational in,
stitution and place their children there
in. and in discussing the same ques'
t;on the Tribune makes the following
timely comments:
"The Tribune quite agrees with the
above, that Wyoming people should
~patronize the Wyoming university. 1t
is already a worthy institution and
must grow as the state develops. 1t
should become the pride of every citi,
zen But people rarely take a strong

tion in its halls. Then the old school

ahed and honored, and the father is
orite willing that the sons or daughters
shall attend the coliese that was once
his own.
"However, we should emphasize this
mint. that Laramie and the faculty

wyoming people do send their sons
and daughters to other schools. 1t is

The gold mines in the Transvaal, not
withstanding the fact that the serious
fighting in South Africa is over, are
not adding much these days to the
worlds output of the yellow metal. The
United States will be at or very close
to the head Of the producing countries
in 1901. Colorado's field is getting to
be more and more prilific, while Cape
Nome is expected to yield more gold in
1901 than it did in 1900, though the in
terest in that locality is not nearly so
great as it was a year ago. The United
States is going to keepthe worlds stock
of good steadily on the increased. klon-
dixie. too, is expected to contribute
more of the metal to the worlds sup
ply this year than it ever did before.
The scramble for gold among the ma
tions which Bryan foresaw or said he
foresaw, in 1896. as a consequence of
the establishment of the gold stand
ard in the United States. is not visible

flying glass which any silverite has yet
inyented.-Globe-D Democrat.
