STATES DISTRICT COURT

Will Be Forwarded to the Widow
of the Late President.

Resolutions adopted by the United
States District Court OF the District
of Hawaii in respect to the memory
of Honorable William NJ, vinley, late
President of the United States.
Whereas. Our recent national calamity.
the untimely death of our beloved Presi-
dent. William Mckinley, by the hand of
an assassin from the ranks of anarchy,
has filled our hearts with mourning for
the loss OF a foremost citizen. pure
patriotic and illustriOus Chief Magis-
trate, and high-minded American gen
ueman, the beauty of whose home life
has become household word throughout
our country:
Now therefore. be it resolved, That
we denounce the reasonable teachings
and the base influences which tend to
subyert our constitutional liberties to
infamous purposes as to become the I'M
doing of so great and good man as our
late President And that we call upon
our National Legislature to speedily en-,
act such laws as will be fully adequate
to completely stamp out the propagation
of treason. whether it appears in the
unbridled license of sensational press
or under the red flag OF the enemies of
an organized society.
Be it hereby further resolved, That
We deeply deplore the death of one so
honored both in his public and private
career as " lillian Mckinley. one whose
single ambition was the good of the eoun-
try. one who safely. honorably and vic
tOriously guided the ship of state through
times of stress, both in peace and war,
and who now. with Lincoln and Garfield
is the third of our Nations martyrs and.
Be it hereby Resolved, That we, here
in distant Hawaii. share with our fellow
citizens in all parts of the Union the
distress and sorrow that has fallen upon
us; and that the thoughtful care and
unremitting friendship entertained for
these Islands by our martyred President
touches us deeply and teaches us that
not only has one passed away who was
illustriouS in the coHnSels of the great
world but also one to whom the people
OF this Territory might at all times APP
peal to with that unquestioning conf
dence inspired by sincere well-wishing
and,
Be it hereby further resolved, That. in
this. her hour of bitterest afliction. we
/ tender to the bereaved companion of his
/ JOYS and sorrows. our most heartfelt
sympathy and coincidence, and our sin
| eere trust that Almighty God. in his pro-
! found wisdom. viii sustain soothe and
/ guide her through the shadows of her
| bereavement until she rejoins him where
beyond these voices. there is peace: and.
BE il hereby further resolved. That
/ while William McKinley's true monument
IS already built in the love of the Ma
/ tion. vet we deem it proper that these
resolutions should be spread upon the
minutes of this court. and that duly
attested COPY thereof. suitably engrOssed.
he forwarded to the widow Of our de-
ceased President.
