The Mckinley who took the oath to
abide by the Constitution four years
ago was absorbed in the traditions of
domestic American politics. In his in
augural address he hardly looked be
yond low-water mark. He spoke Of the
hard times in which the country was

most promising remedies. He thought
that our currency ought all TO be kept
at par with gold but promised to do all
he could for international bimetallism.
He protested against lavish expendi-
lures. He stood by the Constitution
and the Declaration of Independence.
He pledged himself and his party to the

been regaled by the following interest

The President of the United States

had. The Senate and House have
trampled upon the national pledge in

of the law, the right TO edit the

The break made by Speaker Hender-

member to the censorship of another,
from which he was forced to retreat
without apology, deserves the most Sc
we're censure. The right of free and

high above every other right. 1t is the
one forum in which they have the right
70 speak their sentiments. There is only
one censorship TO which the floor of the
