Tho President Il Dead.

The President Il Dead.
William Mckinley, president Of the
United States, has passed to bis eter'
nal reward. With words Of Christian
resignation on bis lips, with calm &C.
quiescence in the mysterious ways OF
Gods providence, be laid down the
burden Of humanity and put on the
robes Of Immortality.
1t seems inexpressibly sad that he
OF all men should have been singled
out for vile murder. No man ever
did less Of evil, no man had In his
heart and nature more Of manhood.
In all his long and active public life,
and all bis private relations to his
fellow citizens, not one instance Is re-
corded where he said or did thing
unworthy Of a Christian gentleman.
Amid the revilings Of campaign ex-
element, In the furore Of congression-
al contests, others grew bitter and
said unkind words. Mr.. Mckinley
remained the same cool, charitable,
noble gentleman, doing what his con-
science and his Incompatible judg-
ment told him was right, content that
time and events should give YER
dict upon bis actions.
Gloriously was he endorsed and a
nation, quick to recognize bis worth,
gave gladly the highest honor in its
power; gave it twice, because 1t
found that In President Mckinley it
it had q leader whose character and
ability were commensurate with Its
traditions, Its principles and its
greatness. He was equal to every
trust. In the presidents chair he
was the peer Of any who ever occu-
pied that most exalted station on this
earth.
Through all the trying days Of
warfare, in all the critical moments
which attended the newer and broad.
er expansion Of the nations destiny,
he was always master Of the situa-
ton. Neither the unwarranted abuse
Of The opposition press nor the criti.
cism Of reckless politicians disarmed
him. As in all bis life be did what
his conscience and judgment dictated,
and he did right. Events justified
him, the Greater America that came
out Of the turmoil was his and the
nations reward and the period Of
prosperity and peace into which we
entered crowned bis life with higher
honor.
And now he is dead.
The vile assassin who took his life,
the infamous leaders who inspired
the shameful deed, execrated by all
and deserving Of the utmost venge-
anCe Of an outraged people, robbed
the nation Of Its noble son. 1t is
pitiiul.
President Mckinley will live in the
nations memory as a great man, not
alone because he was a martyr but be.
cause in his life, character and public
services he possessed the elements Of
true greatness. He was a statesman
and scholar, a soldier and an orator,
a tender husband and an unialtering,
faithful friend. Above all, he was q
Christian gentleman and worthy Of
the nations honor. With Washing
ton and Lincoln he will DO enshrined
In the nations heart through all the
coming centuries Little wonder
that seventy million people we're bow
ed in sorrow when they heard that
he had passed over the river. Their
consolation lies In bis own dying
words:
ut Is Gods way. His will be

MASTERS IND WORKERS
UNITE THEM IN ONE TRADES
UNION
MOVE Is WIDELY SUPPORTED
Inroads of Foreign Competition on
England's Trade brings Home
the Necessity for a Joint
Organization.

LONDON, March 16-John Burns. NJ.
p, Thomas Burt, NJ P, and other labor
leaders are comforting in regard to the
feasibility Of the proposed federation Of
the employers and employees unions to be
known as the National Federation Of
Masters Associations and Trade Unions,
the object being to educate the minds
of the employers and employees concern
ing the grave responsibilities which rest
with them in respect to the expansion of
British trade, to devise means to meet
foreign competition, to send joint deputa-
tions of capital and labor abroad to in
quire into the conditions Of other coun-
tries and to provide a federation where
employers and employees may meet on the
same plane"
John Locke, late Conservative candi-
date for Devonport, who is the leader in
the movement, has opened headquarters
in London, and is receiving the support
of such widely differing public men as
the Duke of Northumberland, Mr.. Robert
Spence Watson, president Of the National
Liberal Federation; Lord Grey, Sir
Charles Palmer Sir Christopher Furness,
M. p; Mr.. Arthur Griff1th-Boscawen, M
p, and many others.
Lord Rosebery was approached IN ref
erence to the scheme, but he replied he
was afraid it was too ambitious for him.
FEAR AMERICAN, COMPETITION
The preliminary work is now being
chiefly confined to the iron and steel
trades, which through fears Of inroads by
the American steel trust, seem anxious
for some organization, @hich will present
a united front.
Mr.. Locke said to a representative Of
the Associated Press:
'I suppose it will take five years to get
the federation working, but intend to
persist. I must confess to finding the
greatest difficulty with the employees, who
seem strangely slow in waking up to the
necessity of strenuous steps to meet for
eign, especially American, competition.
with due respect to Lord Salisbury,
his advice to teach 1aborers French and
German does not appeal to either the
master or men as a solution. The problem
daily grows in seriousness"
Mr.. Locke, though wealthy ship
owner, is devoting almost his entire time
to the formation of the federation Lord
Grey will likely be its president.
