It used to be considered that only

The kidneys filter and purify the

I'd. McElinIc,,- LornbIe Character.

IN appropriately honoring the mem
DRY Of the late President. it is not nee
essary 10 express or imply approval
of the measures Of public policy which
he so earnestly and ably Championed.
In recognizing tie present high degree
of prosperity which the country enjoys,
we need not. by the most distant i'm
pIication. suggest that it is greater than
would have existed if the policy Of the
opposing political party had prevailed.
We can do reverence TO a distinguished
public man and acknowledge what was
good IL his character without confess
ing error in our own views. and with
nothing that approaches seIf-stulunca-
ton.
And all who knew him must admit
that there was much that was admira-
bic and truly noble in Mr.. Mckiuley's
character. That he most earnestly be
lieved IN the wisdom of his course is
not open 20 question. Even in cases
where he changed his position with
reference To certain policies there is no
reason to doubt that he believed that
the change was necessary, and that il
would inure to the good Of the people
We cannot segregate the man from his
private character, and III estimating
his worth our judgment must rest
largely upon the personal qualities
which ne displayed and the motives
which inspired him while occupying the
various stations which he filed.
There was that in the life of Mr.. Nc
Einley which was truly beautiful IN
his love for his friends, in his cOnsid-
crate regard FOR his countrymen as a
whole. in his most exemplary personal
habits. and above all in his tender.

Circulation Statement.
The Nations Last Tribute.

The late William Mckinley had every
reaon TO know that he was liked and
trusted by the people. Their cordial
greetings wherever he appeared, and
the great majorities they gave him for
the highest Office in their gift on two
memorable occasions. We're evidence
enough Of that. But he could not know
the depth of the popular affection for
him The full testimony on that score
was reserved until he was past all hui
man ken.
1t was a noble and pathetic spectacle
that yesterday was presented along the
route Of the funeral train. For almost
the whole distance from Buffalo 10
Washington masses of people lined the
course. standing with barred heads and
carrying emblems of mourning. At sta
lions crowds had gathered with bands
and choirs. and everywhere with spon-
taneOus accord the murdered Presi-
dents favorite hymn, Nearer, My God.
TO Thee" was played and sung. Last
night the Presidents body rested in his
old official home. This morning it pass
ed under the solemn escort Of the army
and navy he had commanded, of old
comrades Of the civil war, Of societies
with which he had been identified.
and Of local civic bodies, to
the Rotunda Of the Capitol. In that his
to-ic place simple prayers have been
said, and the hymns he loved have been
rendered by voices almost hushed. and
choked with emotion. and all that the
people could DO 10 show their grief
has been done.
