HOW THE NEWS WAS SPREAD
Bulletins Furnished at This Office During
the Night and Extras Issued
The Morniro
This Morning.

The intense anxiety as to the PreSi-
dents condition Friday evening was
Shown by the constant flow of visitors
to this office and frequent calls by
telephone. The encouraging tone of
the latest bulletins as we went to
press, bringing the news down to 4
O'Clock, was almost Immediately neu-
tralized by our despatch at 5:15,
which we communicated to the public,
telling of the final relapse. The
hourly messages after that hour were
increasingly discouraging and by s
O'Clock no further hope of the Presi-
dents recovery was possible.
We sent copies of important bulle-
tins to be read from the stage at the
opera house and the telephones were
kept busy until nearly midnight, no
other news reaching the city except
that furnished us by the American
Press Association. The regular mid
night issue of the Chicago morning
papers that Plymouth gets in the
morning failed to arrive for the most
part and those that came did not an
nOunce the death, except in one in
stance, SO we issued an extra edition
at O'Clock for the benefit of the peo-
pie living along the rural routes and
sent them out with the carriers.

1t is declared that plot has been
unearthed for the assassination of
President Mckinley at Chicago last
year, but miscarried because Of his
failure to attend. Another is also
said to have been Matched for his
murder at San Francisco, but the
dastardly assassin gave the intent
away, and he is now III prison in the
Golden State. These rumorS all tend
to increase the certainty that Fridays
crime was pre-arranged.

Yellow Journalism is at something

Yellow journalism is at something
of a discount in the Uuited States
these days. The shriekers about
s'empire" are silent for the moment.
One of these howlers is in ST. Louis.
Two of them are in New York. In
every large city in TIE United States
there is one or more of these yellow
sheets. The law, of course, can not
directly reach these mischief makers,
but the public knows them, and de-
spises them. Yellow journalism and
yellow politics are just now under the
ban in the United States. Their ex-
ponents, for the moment, are keeping
as quiet as the copperheads were just
after Appomattox.-St Louis Globe

Washington, colored, claiming to be
112 years old, is dead of voluntary
starvation, Superintendent Knable re-
porting that she persistently refused
food, claiming she had lived long
enough. Two months ago, by a fall
down a stairway, her arm was broken,
and it is said she tried to commit sui
eide by throwing herself down. She
frequently asserted that in her child
hood days she was a servant in the
family of President Madison, but lit
tie is really known of her antecedents.

MODERN MISERS.
Men Who Starve Themselves
to Accumulate Money.

There is certain fearful fascination
past. The money they accumulated was
of no more practical value to them than
the trinkets stolen and secreted by some
magpie or jackdaw. They hid it from
the sight and use of men and in silence
and secret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gather it they lived on
crusts or offal, grudged clothes to cover
them and FIRE to warm them, lived
starved lives and in not few cases died
of starvation. That was the o1d-time
miser. The modern miser resembles
this man of the past in the particular
that he frequently dies of starvation.
In his eagerness to gather money he

nisOrdered Intellects.

That which happened Yesterday will
make the people of the United States
ask themselves if they mus always be
subject TO the paroxysmal rule of dis
ordered intellects-if they can have no
confidence in the stability of govern
ment. They cannot have if some man,
actuated by personal feelings, or some
.lunatic can remove the chief magis-
trate of great nation, and in SO do
ing change perhaps the whole course
of national history. Is the establish
ed order of things to be at the mercy
of crank or a mailman? Must a
President of the United States keep
himself secluded from the world like
the Sultan of Turkey, in order that
he may be able to serve out the term
for which the people have elected him,
or must he subject himself to the
perils of sudden death and to the re-
versal of the policies he was elected to
carry out whenever he appears in
public?
This is the question which calls for
an answer. If man as blameless as
President Mckinley, woman as in
offensive as the Empress of Austria, a
King who was SO free from wrong-do-
ing as King Humbert, ruler as up
right as President Carnot, become the
objects of the assassins weapons, what
can society do for the protection of
others occupying similar exalted
stations and for its own protection?
One thing is certain, there should
be no more of these free-for-all pres
idential receptions which gave an easy
opportunity to a mailman to change
the course of the history OF the coun-

"ClOSE IN AND KILL

There is published in Chicago a
weekly newspaper called the New
Voice. 1t is the organ of those who
regard statutory prohibition as pam
acea for intemperance. 1t receives
little attention from daily newspapers,
for one simple reason. Although
written largely by protested ministers
of the gospel, its utterances
are so violent and often so
obscene that no decent newspaper can
defile its columns with quotations
without which comment would be un-
ineligible
The character of the stuff that the
New Voice weekly lays before it's
readers is of unusual interest, for var
ious reasons, at just this time, and we
are indebted to the Macomb Journal
for directing our attention to it.
The Prohibition party's last candi-
date for President, some may remem-
Der, was one John G.. Woolley. Here
is his comment upon the Judgment of
the American people at the polls last
November. as it appeared in the New
the Voice over his signature:

stencil of leeks and onion in Gods face

Jolo, with his canteens and slaves and
wines and concubines, is-defeated to
a second term. For when, doubtless,
he would have listened to the voice of
Christian motherhood, saying, "Avenge
me of mine enemy" he had to
pull his forelock, limp with the sweat
of a coward, and say, Zone is my mas
ter, even the saloons, and all We are
fools. - Now for the campaignof 1904;
