M,kINl[Y, InE MAN.

A mans true character always asserts
itself at the critical moments when tits
most severely tested, and the FIRST traits
revealed in President Mckinley by his
trial of Friday were unselfshness, de-
%votion, charity and a patient courage.
Though the order of the u~tterances
ascribed to him Immediately after the
shooting varies somewhat in the vari-
Gus dispatches, the complete absence o.
any thought of self is emphasized in
them all. 1t is reported that he said
Of Czolgosz, God forgive him. and
''let no one hurt him. He also ex-
pressed his regret that he had been the
cause of trouble TO the exposition, as II
in that moment he were a humble citi-
zen who in some strange way had EN-
barrassed a great public enterprise.
This simplicity, % like Lincoln's,
speaks of the homely environment OF
his bringing up, of the long exercise OF
the art of not making trouble, which
does so much to beautify the life of the
plain people.
But the quick solicitude which the
anxious husband evinced for his frail
and delicate wife will impress the ma.
tion more deeply than anything else
and bring him nearer than ever to the
hearts and homes Of his countrymen,
1t was the natural, inevitable impulse
of a devotion which can never be fully
set forth by written or spoken word.
Amid all the heavy cares and respon-
sibilities of his high official life Presi.
dent McKinley's dearest thought has
been for the woman to whom his love
is dedicated. II has been SO during his
presidency, it was % when he occupied
the governors chair at Columbus and
during the long period of his service as
a congressman. II his career had left
him with few distractions, If he had
never been called from Canton and the
modest home there il would have been
impossible for him to consccrate him
self more faithfully TO the invalid whom
he has watched and attended constant
ly while performing for her the num-
berless acts suggested by his affection,
his never-ceasing thoughtfulness in
great and little things, his ~gentlcness
and that precious knightly courtesy
which women so often discover in the
lover only to miss it later in the hus-
band.
Public policies are quite forgotten in
the contemplation of such virtues as to
those which we have referred, and the
president appears before MS as the true
nobleman with title i~ndefeasible. The
awful shock of the attempted ~assassi.
nation, the horror of it, has cooled the
heat of controversy, SO that all that is
irrelevant is east aside and the people
see him as he is, sincere, generous,
Astounding in the sense OF duty, with
malice toward none, charity toward
all. Herald.

Herr Most says that the New York
Journal and its affiliated papers are AS
much 10 blame for the assassination of
President Mckinley as anyone else, cx-
cept Czolgosz himself. He calls atten-
ton Ia the villainous cartoons that have
appeared in the Journal and the Chi
cago-A American and which are intended
to inilame the mind and stir up the evil
passions Of men of the Czolgosz class.
There is no doubt but these publica-
tions, as well as other yellow journals,
have been in a great measure respon-
sible for anarchistic teaching in this
country and have had their effect in in
citing the crime of assassination. While
they may not believe what they say or
what they represent in these cartoons,
the low and the vicious. who imagine
they are oppressed or abused, take them
serious and find additional eXcuse for
the preaching and practice Of their dia-
bOlical creed. II considerations of
common dccency will not check such
newspapers in their abuscof public off.
Gals then legislation should be had to
regulate them. There is too much Ii.
eenSe altogether.

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-Bradstreet' report for
last week is as follows:
Trade advices were rather more
cheerful. This applies as much as to
current retail business, which has been
enlarged with wintry weather as it
does the opening spring trade, which
finds stimulation in the general conf
dence felt as to the general outlook for
the coming year. Prices show excep-
tional strength, all things considered,
the one weak spot being raw cotton,
which shares the rather unusual tone
manifested by the cotton growers and
yarn markets. Foreign demand for
our breadstuffs has been rather better.
Specially cheerful reports come from
the shoe and leather, the lumber and
the iron trades the strength of prices
of the latter having been increased by
the talk of pending consultations, al
though the volume of business is re-
stricted from the same cause.
Failures are smaller than of late and
current railroad earnings show large
gains over good returns of year ago.
Despite the check given to business
by the talk of consultations fair vol
ume of trade is doing at all leading
iron markets and the advances in these
columns last week are firmly held.
Bessemer pig is still selling at S13.25
at valley furnaces. equivalent to STA at
Pittsburg, and sales of 10000 tons are

ports manufacturers price lists with
drawn pending the consolidation, but
that billets are So a ton higher on sales
of 10000 tons. Structural material is
active and the largest consumption
since 1895 is looked for.

States number 226, as against $50 last
week, 1S9 in this week year ago and
100 in 1899 Canadian failures num-
bered 80, against 80 last week and 35

ALLIED FORCES 70 MARCH
ARE HEADED FOR SIAN-FO
All Generals Notified by Waldersee-
Resume Military Operations on Large
Scaie-s1owness OF Peace Negotiations
Causes Alarm Expected Effect.

Pekin, Feb. ia few days ago
Count Won Waldersee wrote to the gen
erals under his supervision notifying
them to have all their available troops
ready in two weeks for an expedition
lasting 80 days. Today General Chat
fee and General Veyron, the French
commander, received letters asking for
their cooperation and expressing de-
sire to know what forces they can
spare. In commencing his letter to
General Chaffee, Count Won Waldersee
says:
Owing to the unsatisfactory nature
of the negotiations for peace and also
to circumstances rendering such q
course desirable, it will probably be
necessary to resume military opera
tions on large scale, especially toward
the west"
1t is not thought likely that General
Chaffee will agree to such plan with
out instructions from Washington The
French commander, however, is expect
ed to do so.
Count Won Waldersee's plans contem-
DidIt OllSlluS the COuuldnu Oh the 6A-
petition in the first instance to Sir
Alfred Gaselee, the British commander,
but it is believed that on account of
his recent illness General Gaselee will
inform Count Won Waldersee that he
is unable to accept the command In
that event it will be offered to General
VeyrOn, provided the French fall in
with the arrangement, which Count
Won Waldersee believes will be the case.
Such an offer to General Veyron would
have the effect, it is thought, of over
coming the differences which have ex-
listed between the French and Germans.
because it would be a demonstration of
Count Won Waldersee's confidence in
the military ability of the French con-
tingent
Ere long an announcement is expect
ed that the destination of the proposed
invasion is Sian-fu. 1t is thought that
when it becomes known that the ex-
petition has started the imperial court
will hasten to comply Immediately with
all the demands of the joint note. The
military are much elated at the pros
pect of active service. Many believe
the Chinese army will strive to the
utmost to protect the province of Shen-
81 against invasion.
