High Time TO Retire.

Ofall the sorry spectaclos of yellow
journalism the Pennsylvania Methodist,
Published at Harrisburg. and edited by
thst repudialed would.be reiormer
known ss DR.. Silas c. swallow, takes the
lead. A few days before the death OF
President Mckinley he wrote and pub
lished in his sheet virnlent attack upon
the character and honor of the stricken
chief magistrate of the nation. When
public indignation ran high in Harris
burg and wherever the article was read,
the misguided editor added insult to in-
jury 10y publishing IN local paper what
he would term an excuse for his shame
Ii IS course as follows;
"Some exceptions have been taken to
an editorial written bv me at a time when
President Mckinley's doctors were say
ing that they would have him in WasL-
ington in week. Had | thought he
would die or continue TO suffer it would
not have been published; but his much.
o-be-r regretted death Immediately anor
the publication changed all the con-
ditions."
Did mortal man ever attempt a more
piuable apology. Because he thought
the President might live is his excuse
for his indecent attack on his spotless
character. When all the world was pray
ing for the restoration to health OF tie re-
vered President, this man Swallow was
showing his vtnom through the columns
of his newspaper. Corld a more deplor-
able spectacle be imagined. 1t is high
time for the Swallows to retire from the
public gaze. None but anarchists can
endorse such journalism

President ROosevelrs Assurance.

President Roosevelts announcement
to the members of the cabinet that he
should continue absolutely unproken
the policy of President Mckinley for the
peace, prosperity aud honor of our be-
loved country" will cause no surprise.
| 1t was known by everybody who was at
all familiar with Col. Roosevelrs views
en- national issues that he was in entire
harmony with Mr.. McKinley's ideas on
the great questions of the day. Col.
Roosevelt himself stated his position on
most of the important issues on his
recent visit to the West with his accus-
toned clearness and candor. They were,
OF course, fully and vigorously set forth
last fall when on his stumping tour
throughout the country. The country
has no occasion to be in any doubt as to
the position Of President Roosevelt ON
any issue now before the country, or
which has been before it in the past few
years.
The assurance, also. that their will be
no extra session Of Congress was just
what was expected. Nothing is in sight,
so far as the country can discern at this
moment, to warrent the calling Of con-
gress in advance ofthe date of its stated
meeting, two and half months hence.
4 conservative, intelligent, progressive
administration of the public affairs will
be had. President Roosevelt is in har-
mony with the majority of his country
men on the subject of expansion. He
is with them on the Monroe policy. He
iavois the extension of the country's
foreign trade in all reasonable ways.
| The trusts he would put under govern
mental control as far as this can be done
without lampering their legitimate a.
| uvities. The country may rely on hav-
| ing a sane and safe administration under
| President Roosevelt, as it had under
President Mckinley. Col. Roosevelt is
a broad, thoroughly equipped aud ad-
mirably balanced man. lie knows the
political issues on what may be called
their literary side, and he is equally well
acquainted with them in their practical
aspect. There will be no rash expert
ments in the management of public af-
fairs under his regime. While he is a
profound student of history and politics,
and has all the students earnestness
and enthusiasm in learning all the aspects
in which great issues can assert them
selves, be is as inhospitable 10 iads aud
cranKeres as any man of education in
the United states. He is courageous,
public spirited and patriotic, a foe to all
trickery and sham of any sort, and an
all-round American whom the country
will love. During the service of Col.
Roosevelt the United States will have a
clean, safe, pros ressive and thoroughly
American administration.

THE mess into which Doctor Swallow
has gotten himself by the utterance OF
dsrOga;ory remarks concerning the late
President Mckinley is merely illustra-
tive OF the Incorporate asSertiC ms which
the same gentleman was in the habit of
making when be occupied more con-
spicuouS position in the Pennsylvania
eye. 1t is conceivable that man with
out education or good training and who
consequently knows nothing of the
amenities of Life might blurt out his ig-
norant hatred of even the dead ruler of a
nation, but DR.. swallow is not to be eX-
cused on that ground. The incident may
not prove much more than a nine-days'
wonder, but it carries its impressive
warning to other men who may have de-
sire to slur the character of wise and
good man. Or. Swallow is a dead issue
in Pennsylvania, and the deadening pro-
cess has been completed by his own slau-
derous words against our beloved Nc
Kinley.

Captain CIark,s experience.

The Pottsville, Schulkill county, daily
Republican, is devoting a good deal of
valuable space to war "reminiscences con-
nected with the old 4Sth Regt that are
not only interesting TO the old boys Of
that gallant organization but to the pub
lie in general as well, A recent issue
contains a short but interesting contri-
button from our townsman Capt. c. W.
CLARK, in charge of Co, c, at the time he
writes OF;
l here present little sketch of what
happened to me on the night of Jane l6,
1864, at Petersburg, Va.
That evening the 4Sth Pa. Regt. moved
up close to the Rebel works. l was in
charge of company c, and the aid de
camp of Gen. Porters staff told me to take
my company across the hollow and
swamp, 10 my left. started, and just as
the head of my company struck the
swamp the rebels opened on us a most
terrible fire from their works, an enfilad-
Ing fire.
Part OF the company fell back into the
shelter af the earthworks. was too far
advanced to get back, About eight or
ten went up the swamp to get out of
range of the fire 1t was very dark, so
we remained in the swamp until the
moon rose. Just then man rode up on
a fine black horse.
halted him and ask him who he was.
He said he was an aid to General Beaure-
gard, and would take us 10 headquarters.
l took the gun out of the hand of Mich.
Mclaughlin and made prisoner of the
horseman and marched him back to-
ward the Appomatox.
soon struck the picket line of a New
York Regt., and strange to say, he was
identified by them as one of their officers,
who was out on scouting duty and had
mistaken us for rebels and had adopted
the subterfuge of calling himsell rebel
aid to Beauregard to save his life, sup
posing we were rebels.
l got back TO my regim Mt about mid
night and l found it close 10 the rebel
! "bih We
break on the morning of the 18th, carried
the works and recaptured n. Y. regi-
ment flag and great many prisoners.
We also captured the flag of the 4lh South
Carolina regiment. personally carried
both these flags on my shoulders inside
the rebel WORKS to the top of the hill, to
the rebel fort which we had captured with
two brass guns.
Col. Pleasants ordered Capt. Gilmore,
of Co. II, our regiment 10 Turn these
guns on the rebels and give them"
heard Capt. Gilmore say, "Col., those
guns are stuffed to the muzzle with
clay"
So it proved on examination, much to
our modification, but a battery was soon
brought up which did fine work, adding
much to the speed of the flying enemy.

A DISPATCH from Washington under
date of 22d inst. says: Gen. Leonard
Wood, military governor of Cuba, left
here tonight by way of Tampa for Hav-
ana. The expectation of Gen. Wood is
that the conduct Of affairs in the island
can be handed over to the Cubans by
factory to the administration, provided
some notifications are made. As re-
suit Of this talk with the officials here
Gen. Wood tonight expressed the opin-
ion that there will be no change in the at
titude Of the administration toward the
Cubans, but that the policy inaugurated
by Mr.. Mckinley will be continued by
his successor.

WHEN Senator Wellington Of Mary
land, was approached by newspaper re-
porter after the shooting of the President,
he said: mckinley aud are enemies,
1 despise the man. l have no use for him.
1 am totally indifferent in the matter"
Such rancorous egotism and narrow vim
dictiveness on the part Of a man who oc-
cupies the position Of United States SEN
ator, seems incredible. He ought to be-
expelled from the Senate, as he was from
the Union League Club, and driven into
the sphere TO which such meager souls
are entitled. His enmity was due to the
fact that Mckinley did not appoint the
man he recommended for Postmaster

Brain-FOOd Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authOri-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind Of food is needed for the
brain, another 'pr muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet will not
only nOurish a particular part of the
body, but ii will sustain every other part.
Yet, however good your food may be, its
nourishment is destroyed by Indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their coming
by taking regular doses of Green's Aug
ust Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids di-
gestion, puiities the blood, makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. Get Green's

THE Buffalo assassin will not have
many postponements or appeals in his
case. 1t is safe to make this prediction.
Yet be will undoubtedly have a fair trial.
All that can be urged in hts defense by
the keenest lawyer will undoubtedly be
presented. Legal talent will be provided
TO take care Of his interests. But the
case will not be drawn out to any provok-
ing lengths. There never was a murder
more methodically and cunningly con-
Quoted than that put in execution by
Czolgosz. His handkerchief ruse was too
deep for the government detectives. If
be is not sane then satan is a iunatie. All
that the most versatile lawyer can say in
the defense OF the assassin will not occu-
py much time. AS a court spectacle
CzOlgosz's career will be short.

On this subject the freedom ofspeech,
the difference between liberty under the
law, which was what our forefathers had
in mind, and license out side of It, which
they admittedly fought against, is too
broad not to be distinguishable. We
look to the next Congress to make that
difference, not clearer, for that is not nec-
essary, but more widely observed
through the severer punishment of Of
tenders against the spiiit Of the American
Constitution.
