CONGRESS WILL PAY THE BILLS.

Congress will make special pro-
vision for the payment of the phys
icians and surgeons who attended
the late President Mckinley at Buff
falo and for the payment of his fun
eral expenses. This was the course
pursued after the death of President
Garfield. What these expenses will
amount to in the case of President
Mckinley cannot be stated even APP
proximately, as none of the bills
have yet been sent in.
In the case of President Garfield
Congress appropriated in all s57,.
500. Of this amount $35, 800 was
for the payment of the physicians
and 1920 funeral expenses. The
total expenses in the case of Presi.
dent Mckinley will probably be
fully as great, for though the bills
of the physicians will not be so large
as they were in the case of Presi-
dent Garfield, who fingered for
more than two months after he was
shot, the expenses of the funeral are
expected to be larger. The princi-
pal item, as in the case of Garfield,
will be for railway transportation.
This will include the special train
which brought the funeral party
from Buffalo to Washington, the
special train of three sections which
carried the party 10 Canton and the
special train of five sections back to
Washington.
Congress not only paid President
Garfeld's funeral expenses, but also
made liberal provision for Mrs.
Garfield. She was paid her hus-
bands salary for the remainder of
the year, was given pension of
So, 900 a year for the remainder of
her life, and was given the franking
privilege, by which she can use the
mails without the payment of post
age. Mrs. Mckinley will certainly
be treated with equal liberality.

1t has not been long since Buffalo Bill and his

most elaborate affairs that has been seen in the
open:air. This year Messrs. Cody & Salisbury
announce that they have, after much detail, sue

1t is called the Battle of Tien Tsin, the
Capture of Pekin. In this enormous production.
the allied powers of the United States, England,
Germany, France and Russia, are seen to assemble
in grand review previous to the battle. Side by
side shoulder to shoulder step by step, the allied
armies advanced to the conflict at Tien -Tsin, in
the friendly spirit of rivalry begotten by the
mimic warfare of this character, first inaugurated
by Col w. f. Cody buffalo BilD under whose
direction the entire entertainment is supervised.
Having in this remarkable manner anticipated

THE LATE PRESIDENTS ESTATE.

In view of the exaggerated reports
of the amount of insurance policies
OH President McKinley's life an au
thoritative statement was made the
other day by one of the late Presi
dents friends in New York City,
He said
cit isn't necessary to mention my
name, but all President McKinley's
friends in Washington will under
stand who is speaking. The exact
amount of President McKinley's
policies is S67, 200, and not penny
more. Of this amount 5000 was
carried by the New York Life Insu-
rance Company, of which John A.
Mccall is president. The remain
ing ST., ZOO was carried by smaller
companies. This statement is abso-
lutely correct in every particular. D
President Mccall was for many
years warm personal friend of Mr..
Mckinley, though not always In
political utilization with him. He
was a friend of President Cleveland
and Gov. Hill. In 1895, however,
he came out strong for Mckinley,
and he has been McKinly man in
every fiber ever since.
With Mrs. Mccall, Mr.. Mccall
has been the guest of President and
Mrs. Mckinley at the White House
on many occasions. 1t was ascer-
tanned recently that 1t was Mr.. Nc
Call and Senator Hanna who in
duced President McKinly to increase
his life insurance in the last few
years. The President had many
expenses during his life, and he had
not been able to save much. Up to
1887 his life insurance policies ag-
gregated about $4,000.
Mrs. McKinley's income from the
insurance policies, the pension of
IS, 900 a year which Congress will
grant, and the money saved by the
President will be about $4,000

JUDGE SWIGGART WITHDRAWS.

l wish to say to my friends, and
to democrats generally, over the
state, that l will not be a candi
date before the democratic conven.
tion of next year for the nomination
of governor. Although it is a good
while yet before the party will be
called on to nominate candidate,
still, in view of the activity of gen
tlemen seeking the place, it seems
necessary for me to decline the con-
test entirely or to enter into an &C.
tive struggle for the nomination,
which would probably continue for
nearly a .year. My taste, feeling
and inclinations are such that l can
not make personal canvass for this
high Office.
1t is one thing to consent to the
use of my name as a candidate and
quite another to enter into real
fight for the place and to make per-
sonal appeals to friends and demo
Gratis generally for their support. [

ished ambition" to hold this high

mature reflection, that l cannot 60

1t was with much hesitation and
reluctance that 1 yielded to the de-
mands of my friends some weeks

l would stand for this nomination.

it proper to pursue will not cause

the best for them as we'll as for my
self. Knowing my situation and
environment better than they do,
must be permitted to decide this
question for myself and for them
also, so far as l am concerned.
In conclusion, wish to express

SAID BY PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.

Stand up for America and Ameri.
ca will stand up for you.
Arraying labor against capital is
a public calamity and All irreparable
injury to both.
The judgment Of the people is
swift and terrible against those who
mislead and delude them.
1t is always safe to array yourself
on the side of your country it is
always safe to stand against lawless.
ness and Reputation.
The financial honor of this Gov.
eminent is of too vast Importance
is entirely too sacred TO be the foot
ball of party politics.
We are not a nation of classes,
but of sturdy, free, independent and
honorable people, despising the
demagogue and never captivating to
dishonor.
Glass appeals are dishonest :;
they calculate TO separate those who
should be united, for our economic
interests are common and indivisi-
BILE.
The liberators will never become
the oppressors. A self-governed
people will never permit despotism
in any government which they fos-
ter and defend.
Let US keep steady heads aud
steady hearts. The country is not
going backward, but forward. Am
erican energy has not been destroyed
by the storms Of the past.
The American people have never
failed, no matter how great the EN-
Urgency, no matter how grave the
crisis, to measure up to the highest
responsibilities of honor and duty
Wherever we have raised our flag,
we have raised it not for conquest,
nor for territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
nor for national gain, but for civil
cation and humanity. And let those
lower it who will
My countryinen, the most un Am
erican of appeals is the one which
seeks to array labor against capital,
employe against employer it Is
most unpatriotic and it is fraught
with the greatest peril to all con-
cerned.
The nation has appreciated the
valor and patriotism of tie black
men of the United States. They
not only fought in Cuba, but in the
Philippines, and they are still CAL
rying the flag as symbol of liberty
and hope to an oppressed people.
AS we have been united and there
fore strong and invincible in the
war, we must continue united until
the end of this struggle; we must
have no differences among ourselves
while we are settling differences
with another Government.
No great emergency in the one
hundred and eight years of our
eventful national life has ever risen
that has not been met with wisdom
and courage by the American peo-
pie, with fidelity to their best inter-
ests and highest destiny, and to the
honor Of the American name.
We are all together in the fight;
we must be all together in the con-
clusion. This is no time for divided
councils. This is the solemn hour
demanding the highest wisdom and
the best craftsmanship of every Sec
ton of our country, and, thank
God, there is no North, no South,
no East, no West, but al Americans
forever.

A Species Of Socialism.

ment: Old Virginia don't need new
Constitution half as much as she needs
some up-todate farming. Whenever you
find a Carteresque farmer who saveshay,
fodder, oats, corn, wheat and tobocco in
season and sells it when the market is
ready for it, you will find man who
don't care a kitty what sort of Con-
stitution we have, or whether we have
any at all or not, at least so far as the
financial part of the business is concern
ed. But when you find that other sort
of farmer who spends half his time loaf

Roosevelts Tribute TO Lee

In his Life Of Thomas II. Benton,
Theodore Roosevelt says Of General Lee
and his soldiers:
THE decline of the militant spirit in
the Northeast during the first half of this
century was much to be regretted
"To it is due more than to any other
cause the undoubted average individual
inferiority of the Northern compared to
the Southern troops; at any rate, at the
beginning of the war of the rebellion.
The Southerners by their whole mode of
living, their habits, and their love of out
door sports, kept up their warlike spirit;
while in the North the so-called upper
classes developed along the lines OF a
wealthy and timid bourgeois type,
measuring everything by a mercantile
standard "a peculiarly debasiHg one by
itself, and submitting to beruled in local
affairs by low foreign mobs, and in
national matters by their arrogant
Southern kinsmen. The militant spirit
OF these last certainly stood them
in good stead in the Civil war.
The world has never seen better
soldiers than those who followed Lee
and their leader will undoubtedly rank
as without an exception the very great
est of all the great captains that the
English-speaking peoples have brought
forth-and this, although the last and
chief of his antagonists may himself
claim to stand as the full equal of Marl-
borough and Wellington"
