The San Francisco call., 1901-12-22

The work is a carefully prepared and
ably written history of events of world
wide Importance, amplified by the COM
ments and eulogistic tributes of eminent
men in America and Europe, and embel-
lished by a large number of most inter
esting and tastefully executed PICTURES of
high artistic merit. 1t has evidently been
the aim of the publishers to record the
life story of Mr.. Mckinley in a simple
and direct manner that will appeal to all
the people with the force and eloquence
by which Mr.. Mckinley knew so well how
to endear himself to his countrymen.
Even a hurried glance through the book
will impress the reader with three strik-
ing features: first the amount of solid
historical information distributed through
all the chapters, making 1t a book of
reference; second, the large number OF
new, interesting incidents about the Presi-
dents ancestry and life; third, the careful
rounding out of each chapter in a way
that will surely leave lasting impression.
The story Of Mr.. McKinley's life reads al
most like a romance, and through it all
runs that Steadfastness of purpose, that
high moral courage and exalted patriot
ism, rarely eQualed and never exceeded
in the history of our public men. The
Presidents own mastery description OF
the Spanish War and the negotiations pre-
ceding and following it, his splendid mag
nanimity toward the conquered foe, his
farsighted policy in the newly acquired
possessions, and his famous reciprocity
speech at Buffalo, are models of American
craftsmanship, and form a most valuable
part of the book. Mr. McKinley's noble
character, tender heart and rare wisdom
and the grand lessons of his life for
young and old are splendidly set forth.
The work is not only mine OF informa-
tion, but will prove exceedingly helpful
in moral education. 1t is free from all
sensational features, and will appeal to
the American youth of this and future
generations as an attractive record of a
noble Christian life, citizen, soldier
and statesman. published by Laird &
Lee, Chicago. Price 81 25.)

Senators TilIman and McLaurin OF
South Carolina Resign.

Columbia, S. c., May 27.-As the ont
come of spirited debate between
United States Senator b. r. Tiliman
and John l.. McLaurin at Gaffney Sat
urday, both of them put their reslg-
nations in the hands of Governor Nc
Sweeney, to take effect November Is.
They have resigned with the under
standing that they are to go before
the people in a joint canvass and the
sentiment of the people is to be ex-
pressed in the vote in a democratic
primary to be held in November.
TilIman was reelected to the Cni-
ted States senate for six years and
McLaurin has yet two years to serve.
Should Tiilman be sustained McLau-
rims seat will be vacant If McLaurI1i
is successful he viii succeed to 1lI-
mans long term.
McLaurin had been invited to Gait
ney and friends of Tillman asked him
to come too. McLaurin accused I'LL,
man Of attacking him.
The latter declared that he Wonid
resign and meet McLaurin on the
stump. McLaurin agreed to the prop
osition. Senator TiIlrnan later sub
mitted written proposition which
was acceptable to Senator Nci.anrin,
except that the latter wanted the
election to be held in October and
November instead of this summer.
McLaurin stated that this was sug-
gested by his poor health. There
were several proposals submitted be-
tween the two. Senator McLaurir
wanted the race to be confined tic
Senator 1iliman and himself. The
latter declared that he could not die
tate to the state democratic execu-
tive committee when the primary
should be held or how many candi-
dates there should be. The dual res.
ignation as finally forwarded to Gov
ernor McSweeney was accompanied
by no conditions.
Under the election in this state,
the state democratic executive com
mittee will arrange a campaign and
the candidates will speak in each OF
the forty counties in the state. At
the primary election the candidates
will be voted for directly. The gen.
/ eral assembly merely confirms the
action of the primary. The campaign
