NEWSPAPER OPINION
Rock-rlbbed Stability

hNNNTNlbbeA SAablltAy
From the Baltimore Sun.
The death Of President Mckinley
lamented as it is by the people of the
United States without regard TO party
has had no disastrous effect upon tho
material prosperity of the counry. AZ
far as any injury to our political IL
stitutions is concerned. it has been
equally without result. That is one
of the most significant, as well as the
most impressive features of the tragi
events of the past ten days. The head
OF the Government, chosen by the peo.
pie, has fallen under the assassin
blow, but his successor has been in
stalled in office without pomp or cere
mony, the Government is as strong as
IL ever was, law, order and justice PFC.
vail, and the people are, IL possible
more deeply attached to a republican
form of government than ever before
That such conditions should prevail al
ter the life of the President has beer
taken by an apostle of anarchy mus
prove even to those who advocate such
crimes the folly OF their doctrine G
murder. President Mckinley had no
lived in vain or died in vain If by hi
death he taught the enemies of lay
and order that they are in a hopeles
minority; that assassination in =;
country like the United States canno
overthrow the Government and brinl
about a condition of chaos. Prest
dents may die, but Government vii
go on forever. That is the lesson c
Mr.. McKinleys death, and it is a mo-
impressive one, for IL shows that tn
stability of our political institutions /
/ beyond question.

we may expect TO exert the strongest
influence. The assassin, instead Of
weakening the Government by the
blow, solidihed nearly all elements,
and thus made the cause Of anarchy
loathed in all our domain. Freedom
Of speech will be denied them, and
wherever sentiments inimical to our
Government are uttered, there will al
ways be persons present to compel
silence. Nothing can stand against
public opinion. outraged. II this spirit
shall continue, and If our whole peo-
pie shall resolve themselves into a
committee Of the whole. ever ready
to give testimony of anarchistic plots
and to make the lives Of its propagators
miserable, then amy reasonable legisla-
tion may be enforced. The assassin
has unwittingly made this possible.

Isn't 1t little premature TO begin
the discussion OF President Roosevelt's
probable course towards the Delaware
situation? Doesn't It strike one as be-
ing little preciptate to begin the agl-
tation before the overwhelming cloud
of the great tragedy has passed? The
President is probably overwhelmed
with the new duties, and he is en-
titled TO a period of freedom from an
noyanoe from the smaller harassing
matters Of party politics, in order to
further the great policies of his admin
istration. After a time and we think
it will be soon, our case will come up
for consideration; when it comes. We
have no fear that the President will do
his duty. Deoency suggests a proper
interval before beginning to fight over
these matters. sA!&k1

While socialism in this country has
not proved a success, it is due to its
followers TO say that their expert
ments. in the way Of communities and
societies which hold their goods in
common. have not involved the slight
est infracdon Of the public peace or
any attack on the institutions OF the
Republic. There is a distinction here
from anarchism which it is quite
proper for the public to bear in mind.

TINE MONUMENT FUND GROWING


In considering the advisability of
raising fund to erect a monument to
the late President. many have almost
eagerly offered their contributions,
while others, perhaps, equally interest
ed, in perpetuating the memory Of the
illustrious man. have moved with
greater caution, owing, we presume TO
a remembrance OF the difficulties
which were encountered in completing
the Garfield monument Besides, there
have been numerous complaints that
the plot Of ground on which that IS
placed, together with that Of the sol
diers' and Sailors shaft, has not been
properly cared for
We are not inclined TO think tina,
these objections arc valid since, If
there has been neglect of these plots,
there is no reason why it should con
tinue. Indeed. a number Of our ciu-
zens have already called the attention
of the Park Commission to the mat
ter, and we are certain it will gladly
remedy what has probably been due to
an oversight Regarding the difficulty
in raising the fund for the Garfield
memorial, we do not think it offers a
proper basis OF comparison. Presl-
dent Mckinley has been at the head OF
the Government during more than four
years, and has been the leader Of the
greatest events Of our history since the
civil war. His fame will grow with the
coming years. while Garfield. unfortu-
nately, had little time to formulate
policies or to carry them into execu-
tion. IL must be remembered that IN
building a monument to President
Mckinley we are all commemorating
the life and deeds of a great national
figure. whose name will always be as
sociated with important events in cur
history
OF course, the practical difficulty in
raising the money confronts us, but
little effort has yet been made, and
there is a difference between this city
now and twenty years ago. We have
grown in wealth and population, and
what was difficult then, Is easy now
During the Administration of Presi
dent Mckinley the country has had
great prosperity; Wilmington has en-
joyed her share. and it would be 1T
ting for her people to honor the name
of one who did so much to make II
possible. We believe that If the mat
ter Is presented in the proper light, al
most every man, woman and child will
be glad to contribute to such a fund.

says he was fishing one day on Selkirk

There was bite, and in due time the

that it was hopelessly entangled.-New
