ASSASSINATION OF THE PRESIDENT

Again is the nation appalled, by the
news of the assassination of a presi-
dent by bastard or crank President
Mckinley was shot and probably fatal
VI injured Friday at the Buffalo eNposi-
ton by stranger At the zenith of his
power and usefulness as chief magis-
trate and statesman, at a moment when
the entire country was resounding with
praise of his wise and noble utterances
at Buffalo, he falls victim of the as
sassin AS in the day when Lincoln
fell, as iii the hour when Garfield was
laid low by the assassin 3 bullet, go to-
day the country is shocked and panied
beyond utterance. 1t is appalled, at the
thought that with all our progress there
turks in our public places bastard so
low as to belong TO the dead past.
No president in our recent history had
so endeared himself to the people as
William Mckinley; no statesman of our
times had been placed in such trying
situations of statecraft and emerged
with record SO Respondent as he; and
no public man of this era had achieved
a greater name or more honorable fame
than the martyred chief magistrate.
In the hush that follows the great
tragedy. in the earnest desire to soothe
his closing hours, the citizens of the
country will bow in profound respect,
and they will be conscious, too, that the
stability of our republic is not threat
ened, and that tho they mourn in genu-
ire sorrow, they take renewed hope in
the thought that a successor of the
highest worth will take UP the response
bilities of state.
In Vice President Roosevelt the nope
of the nation reposes while it yields to
inexpressible sorrow, and tenders to the
bereaved wife such consolation as I'M
measured respect can give.

ALABAMA,s NEW CONSTITUTION
[Chicago Record Herald.l

ALABAMA'S NEW CONSTITUTION.
[Chicago Record Herald.l
The two features of the new Alabama
constitution which will attract the most
attention are the limitation upon the
regular meetings Of the legislature to a
short session OF fifty days once In four
years and the qualifications for the
elective franchise.
A few OF the states have legislative
sessions annually, but in the great ma
Jority they are held biennially, and the
opinion is pretty general by this time
that frequent meetings are productive
OF evil rather than of good. The objec-
lions against them are that they cause
an unnecessary expense, that they pro-
mote grating" that they encourage a
demagogical and mischievous interfer-
ence with the laws when the public and
statutes both need rest.
1t might be urged. on the other hand,
that where the whole legislative body is
elected for four years there is a danger
to public interests because the members
are more independent OF the electorate
but they can not escape responsibility.
and when special sessions are urgently
demanded to consider subjects of vital
Importance they will be called. The
point IL certainly well taken that we
suffer from too great a legislative activ-
Flty, and the Alabama experiment will be
watched with hopeful expectancy
There will be approval also of the fur
Their encouragement OF ambitious legis-
ilators in those provisions OF the consti-
tuition which extend the application Of
the home rule principle and restrict the
legislature to the enactment OF general
laws.
AS regards the elective franchise it Is
to be noted that altho there are dis
ordinations in favor of the whites they
will soon begin to lose their force. All
applicants for the voting privilege will
Jan, /. 1903. Whites and blacks must be
able to read and write the English Ian
guage and must have a small property
qualification or show that they are COM
monty engaged in some lawful occupa-
ton. It Is question of individuals, not
OF color. and the negroes should feel q
great inspiration to prove that they
have the desire and the ability to equip
themselves for the test.
Since the constitution provides for a
large increase in the minimum school
appropriation their educational future is
largely within their own control. and,
like the whites. they may win property
as the reward of intelligence and indus
try. II they fail to qualify 1t will not be
for lack of opportunity.

A Great Combination.
IAtlanta CONSTITUTIONAL

From the figures sent out by the CEN
sus bureau We may form some Idea OF
the tastes Of the people.
Appetite seems to have a place, as
there are 10000 grist mills in the coun-
try. These mills grind for people at
home and abroad.
But the thirst takes its place ahead OF
appetite. While there are 10000 grist
mills there are 10000 breweries.
While eating and drinking people
must read. There are 23,916 printing
establishments in the United States
over one-third OF the number having
been established in the last ten years.
Beer. bread and newspapers line up
together.

In all article on Presidential Gossip"
the Nevada Representative declares
that any one who was at Philadelphia
in June, 1900, knows that, next to Nc
kinley, Roosevelt was the man of the
hour and that if by some sudden misfor-
tune President Mckinley had at the last
moment become unavailable Tor renOlnl-
nation, the post of party leadership
would with entire certainty have gone
to Roosevelt. Fifteen months have
passed since then, and evidences multi
ply on every hand that Roosevelt is still,
aside from Mckinley. the only repub-
lican leader that has the eye of the peo-
pie. 1t is pretty we'll understood that
the professional leaders of the party are
opposed to him and will ditch him in
New York if they can; but their hos
tility is helping him with the people and
is likely to eventuate as has eventuated
a somewhat similar attempt to suppress
Cummins in Iowa"
The Des Moines Capital says. Really
it begins to look as tho the crowd of
Disguised democrats headed in the di-
rection of the republican party would
amount to a stampede before election
day."

creaee In the capital stock account.
I'm consequence Of the English meth
ods. the capitalization OF the English
railways has been Increasing for q
great many years. and, altho general
trade for the last four years has been
good. the railroads have been unable to
maintain their old dividend rates. owing
to their continual increased, capitaliza-
tion.
Today It costs more to carry wheat
800 miles on an English railway, from
Yorkshire to London, than to send 1t
1900 miles on American lines. and
transportation across the Atlantic, all
the way from Kansas City to London.
Coal rates on the Midland railway. one
OF the largest coal carriers are three
times as high as on the great American
coal lines.
The strong point of difference be-
tween the English and American rail-
way methods is that In England all net
earnings are claimed by the stockhold-
ers and are paid to them. All improve
ments are paid for from funds realized
by the sale of bonds or stock. Contrast
cd with this is the American method of
paying stable dividend-a reasonable
amount year in and year out-and using
all surplus earnings for betterment Of
the property.
Take, for instance, the Michigan
Central railroad. 1t has paid per cent
regularly. yet during the last twenty
years the entire road has been rebuilt
and put in first-class condition, every
dollar being paid from the earnings OF
the company. and during that twenty
years neither the bond nor the stock ac-
count has been increased one penny.
All American roads are operated on
this plan, and investors have sense Of
security in the feeling that their divi-
dends are secured, which feeling can
not be possessed by the holder OF Eng
lish railroad stocks.
The English people are appreciating
more and more the value of American
railway investments, and, with fair
ratio Of dividends which can be main
tained during good and bad times. it
would seem to me as II our friends
across the ocean. within the next few
years. would invest more funds in
America than they have done for many
years past"
