Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1901-09-14

The first news of the attempt upon
the life of the President at the
Buffalo Exposition last week was re-
ceived with sorrow and consterna-
ton by everyone worthy of the name
Of an American throughout our
country. Later advices showing that
the crime was committed without
any reason, except that as an an
archist it was his right to crafty his
fendish desire to assassinate the Chief
Magistrate of the nation, has since
so inten sified the horror and enormi-
ty of the crime, that everyone of
every country and CLINE, unless
brute such as he is, must have only
feeling of adherence for the man and
be filed with grief for the one whom
he has so ruthlessly stricken down.
Every true Virginian, of course,
shares that grief and with it mingles
a prayer that Mr.. Mckinley will sur
vive the wounds which he has re-
ceived.
The latest bulletins are to the
effect, that he will recover, and the |
man is base indeed who does not re-
joice In the hope that the news is
CORE ct and that he may soon be re-
stored to his usual health and vigor.

Those failing to pay their TAXES
before the LIST day of December, 1901,
will have 5 per cent. added to their
bills as the law directs.
The change made in the Tax Law
at the last session of the Legislature,
which shortens the time for collect
ing unpaid Tax bills, will force us to
collect them much earlier than here
tofore, at q season perhaps when
money will be scarcer than now.
Therefore we will advise all persons
to pey before December LIST, 1901, and
save the penalty.

Plow manufacturers of the United
States have decided upon an advance
of 10 per cent. in the prices of plows
and all pillow repairs during the com
ing year, and various reasons are
given for the burden which will be
thus imposed upon the tillers of the
soil, but the principal one seems to
have been omitted from the list by
their Republican friends viz: that
there is pillow trust and its mem
bers want bigger profit out of their
business. The farmers may be able
to see this with the advance in price
and possibly be convinced that their
Republican friends are not always
to be trusted when they tell them,
when everything is manufactured
through trusts" on a large scale,
that the cost ia thereby lessened to
them.

State Chairman j. Taylor Ellyson
has made public his new executive
committee and only four of the old
members were retained. Senator
Martin was dropped from the list and
is succeeded by Hon. James hay, for
the reason, it is intimated, that he
would not return from his European
tour In time to take a part in the
Fall campaign The reason for CIV
ing his place to another may be a
good one but it may occur to some,
who believe that democratic victories
in Virginia heretofore have been due
largely to his valuable assistance,
either that he is Sinking his duty, or
is an active democrat only when he
wants something for himself.

The increase In taxation upon rail-
roads and other corporations, now
being considered in our Constitution
al Convention, seems to be step in
the right direction, according to the
following extract from letter of the
Richmond correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun:
president Cassatt, of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, is quoted by several
members of the Finance Committee
of the Constitutional Convention as
saying that Virginia had hardly
begun to learn how to tax her great
corpo rate interests. No State in the
Union, Mr.. Cassa att is credited with
having recently said to prominent
member of that committee, is so le-
nient with the railroads and other
great corporations as VirAinla. Mr..
M. E. Ingalls,, the Presidel of the
Big Four,an until recently head
'osthe Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company, is quoted by one of the
most distinguished members of the
Convention as having recently ex.
pressed views very similar to those
attributed to Mr.. Cassatt."
II the information contained in the |
above Is correct,it looks as If the cor
porations have been too generously
dealt with in the past by our Legis-
latures to complain If they are com
PEELED in the future to bear larger
share of the burdens Of taxation.

At the time of going to press the
sad intelligence was received by tele-
graph, that the President had suffered
a relapse Friday morning and that
the chances of his recovery are now
doubtful. The advices are also that
his Cabinet has been summoned to
his bedside and this seems to indicate
that his condition is considered criti-
cal.

Buffalo, Sept. 1.-THE corps of
eminent surgeons and physicians in
attendance upon the wounded Presl
dent yesterday committed themselves
without reservation to the opinion
that their patient was out of danger,
and that only the possibility of COM
plications threatened his life. They
did not give assurance of his recovery
collectively over their signatures in
an official bulletin, but they went
long way toward it individually and
separately during the day. Each OF
them, with the exception of DIR.
Rixey, who did not leave the Milburn
residence, placed himself SO uarely on
record, not privately to friends of
the President, but publicly through
the agency of the press, that the
danger point had passed, and that
the President would survive the at
tempt upon his life.
Buffalo, Sept. 1.-THE remarkable
improvement in President McKin-
ley's condition continues up to late
hour to night. There is not single |
unfavorable sign.
1t was nearly midnight when the |
left the Milburn house
after their final visit. DIS Wasdin |
and Mynter were the first to appear.
The latter said:
1--WE have bathed and fed the Pres
ldent and have moved him to another
bed. His pulse shows that his blood
is in normal condition, and we feel
that we can announce definitely
there is not the least indication of
blood poisoning"
