fifth, Forty-siXth, Forty-scyenh, Fort:-
crosses. In the house of representatives
he made himself more popular as a com
mittee worker than as deblter on the
floor. He made few speeches, but from
the beginning he showed much interest in
the tariff qffuestion. his first act as a rep
resentative being the presentation of pc
tition from Ohio manufacturers, asking
congress to take no action in the way of
tariff revision until a thorough inVesuGa
ton of the needs of American industries
had been made. He actively supported
the civil service reform bill and Mr.. llol-

came to be looked upon by the repub-

Mai Mckinley could possibly have had

Mai. Mckinley went out OF that conven-

republican party, and as his views on
all the protectionist leaders, 1t naturally
followed that the Harrison administra-
ton placed the tariff question in his
hands. The result of this action was the
ley bill' which afterward became a law.
Without attempting to analyze this bill,
II is sufficient TO say that II placed a
tariff for protection only on the highest
ground taken since the time when Henry
Clay first laid protection proposition be-
from congress March A, 1891, leaving his
ability as legislator and tariff maker to
be judged by his works, with an estab-

A STARTLING SUGGESTION.
The Possibility TINT CzoIgosz' Bullet

Becn Suggested.

Chicago, Sept. IA startling pos
sibility is suggested by DR.. James A.
Lydston of this city. In commenting
upon the death of President Mckinley
he said that the bullet which went
through the stomach and remained in
the body might have been poisoned.
The irritation that produced the in
creased pulsations and temperature
could have been caused by poisoned
lead ball when all other conditions
favored recovery.
by dipping the bullets in pus or
deadly chemicals, the assassin may
have made sure of his victim" said

Bic Forgery of RniIrond Tickets.

AS result of the arrest, on August Is, Of
ticket brokers' concern at st. Louis,
charged with swndling customer, a gigan-
tic railroad ticket counterfeting scheme
was uncovered. After the arrest Of the
brokers their office was ransacked and an
immense number of tickets and passes found.
1t was almost impossible to place an esti.
mate on the value of the tickets recovered,
but it is stated by railroad authorities that
$50 900 would be a conservative figure. 1t is
believed that many of the tickets and passes
were forged.
At Buffalo a NUMBER of ticket scalpers
have already been lodged in Jail on account
Of fraudulent manipulation and forgery of
railroad tickets. These instances are so

at the authorized offices Of transportation

Many will recall the great republican
convention of 1885, when William Mckin-
ley was first nominated for the presi-
dency of the United States at st. Louis.
Thousands of delegates and spectators
crowded the temporary structure used as
a convention hall. The first day of the
convention was June 16, 1896 On the third
day of the convention. June IS, 1896, the
names OF Mckinley and Hobart were put
in nomination and both were successful
on the first ballot. Then the nomination
was made unanimous and the widest en-
thusiasm prevailed among the l5.0OD per-
sons who thronged the big auditorium.
When Chairman Thurston called the
meeting to order on the day of the numi-
nation the enunciation of the platform
was read by Senator Foraker and the
paramount issue of this platform was the
money question. Teller and Cannon on
that day bade the convention and party
good-by. The session lasted for ten hours
and resulted in the success Of the gold
standard
Four years later, June 81, 1900, in Phila-
delphia, President William Mckinley was
renominated by the republican party and
the nomination resulted in his recollection.
He was reinstalled in the position OF
chief executive of the nation March T.

His visit to his sister. at Canton, Just
after the war, decided the vocation he
should pursue. For another reason it was
a memorable and momentous visit. Dur

daughter of James SaXton, well-to.do
banker of Canton. A mere acquaintance
ship was formed, and when he went to
Albany to study law and she to semin-

ton, they temporarily lost sight of each
other But few years later, when he re-
turned to Canton to open his little law
office, and she came home from school,
they met again. Acquaintance ripened
into friendship and friendship into love.
1t was ambitious for a struggling lawyer
to seek the hand of one of the prcttiest
and richest girls in the town. who was
already besieged by an army of suitors.
But Mckinley was not daunted by rival
ry, and presently won his subtitle best,
as he has often said, he ever won In all
his life.
They were married on January %. 1871.

been singularly happy, despite the aftlic-

A Man whose spotIess Integrity and
Lovable Personality Endcnred
Him TO Men of All Pnrties-His
Domestic Life Particularly wor-
thy of Emulation.

st. Louis, Sept. 14.-Following is a
brief sketch of the life and services
of William Mckinley, of whom may
be truthfully repeated the words he
uttered in paying u tribute to James
A. Garfield, who, also fell a victim to
the bullet of an assassin while occu-
plying the presidential Office:
in him we find the best representa-
tive of the possibilities of American
life. Boy and man, he typifes Ameri-
can youth and manhood, and illus
trates the benefits and glory of our
free institutions. He did not flash
forth as a meteor; he rose with meas
ured and stately step over rough
paths and through years of rugged
work. He earned his passage to ev-
cry preferment. He was tried and
tested at every step in his pathway
of progress He produced his pass
port to every gateway to opportuni-
ty and glory. His state sustained him,
and at last the nation rewarded his
courage and consistency with the
highest honors it could bestow."
Biographical sketch.
William Mckinley was born at Niles,
Trumbull County Ohio, January % 1873.
He attended the public schools in his
netghborhood until 1851 when the out
break of the civil war infamed his am
bition and aroused his patriotism to such
a degree that, although only II years old,
he enlisted as private soldier. His first
service was IN the Twenty-third ohio
volunteer infantry, with which he served
until the close of the war, being mustered
out as captain and brevet major at the
age of 81.

As TO A TARIEE WAR.

Speaking on the possibility Of q
tariff war which our own high tariff is
surely stirring up throughout Europe,
Sir John jenkins, president of the
British Iron and Trade Association,
is quoted as indulging in these sane
and sensible remarks; Europe would
better devote her energies TO modern
izing her method than attempt to
combat the United States with protect
i've tariff.
England and all Europe, as a mat
ter of fact, need to learn the A B. Cs
of modern industrial activity in the
costly school of experience over which
the United States at present preside.
We need to enlighten ourselves in the
elementary principles of production"
That this is true is as certain as it
is that American industrial methods,
skill and inventive genius are superior
to those of Europe.
But while tariffs for European coun-
tries are not the remedy enlightened
economic science seeks yet that policy
is appealing with steadily increasing
force to European-even to English
minds. 1t is ominous and suggestive
of a future gigantic tariff war against
the United States that nearly all
classes in England are imbued with
the notion that somehow there is
something to be gained by a protect
i've tariff against the not only cheaper
but superior wares of this country.
What an anomalous situation is thus
presented, with the great, overgrown
Infant" industries of the United
States on their side still demanding
protection" from the cheap pauper
made goods of EUROPE"
Meanwhile European sentiment In
favor Of q tarin campaign against this

The Legislature just closed was the
