litlcal controversies and the prizes and
disappointments which attend them
dwindle into insignifcance when we
stand in the presence of the tragedy
which seems likely to rob the nation OF
its chief executive.
"We all feel the humiliation that our
country has suffered and our hearts are
with the lovely woman from whom foul
and brutal assassination is taking one OF
the most faithful and tender of hus-
bands. Whether the heroic struggle ends
fatally, as we now fear, or in his rester-
alton to health, as we pray, it will be
apparent that you have acted wisely
When Colonel Bryan ceased reading
his face was exceedingly grave. He was
shown the latest bulletin, which be read
carefully with downeast head, and when
he looked up tears stood in his eyes. In
voice that broke he indicated the bull
letln wherein the dying president was
said to be murmuring "Nearer, My God,
to Thee" and said:
''Isnt't that pitiful- isn't it too pitt
ful2"
Goods will, not ours, be done,'" he
read in another bulletin giving the pres
ident's last words to Mrs. KcKlnley, and
again Mr.. Bryan was deeply moved. He
made no comment, but tears again
sprang to his eyes.
He stood like one looking on the bier
Of loved one and the room was hushed
in funeral silence. It was with visible
effort that the democratic leader threw
off the evidences of grief and shook
hands with the committee, members of
which had been sympathetic listeners.

THE PRESIDENT IS DEAD.

His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in him that nature might stand
And ddp say to all the wor1d:" This was a
man"
So was Mckinley, and that is why a
nation mourns today as no other nation
ever has, ,mourned, that is why all par
tisan feeling died when the bullet OF the
assassin awoke the echoes that still rever-
brate throughout the entire world.
He was true American. From the
day he enlisted volunteer to serve his
country as soldier. orator, lawmaker,
statesman, governor, president he played
the part of true American, throughout
it all his life was marked by those
qualities which make the name Ameri-
can synonomous with splendid achieve
ment and great success.
There is great lesson in the death of
Mckinley, that will carry its imprint
throughout the generations yet to come.
His life will teach the lesson not of war
fare, for he was not great warrior; not
of conquest, for though in the midst Of
and in sight of the end he continu ed
war that the end might justify the
means but as man who loves the ways
of peace and through whose life rang
the words that came to the shepherds on
the plains of Judia, "Peace on Earth,
good will to men," This was his pillar
of fire by night and his cloud by day,
down to the time when he said "See
that no harm comes to him."
So it is that men strong in their par
tisan prejudies, disbelieving many of the
tenets of his political creed came out
from the narrow walls of their own
party homes and standing beneath the
shadow of the great sorrow that envel-
opes the nation, bow their heads and
say, a great man has died, great
American has been sacrifced-no not
sacrifced-for every drop Of blood
drawn by the assassin's bullet, shall be
a flower springing up in the field OF
Ardath whose perfume, borne on the
breezes that fan Christian nation, shall
fill the homes of all who love purity
and manliness; and VIM. Mckinley dead,
shall be a more potent factor in the in
fuence and direction of this great
nation than had he completed the term
of Office and rounded out the years
allotted to all mankind to live. Awake
then to the great example he set--forget
of strife and contention and the greed
lust for position, and learn to stoop tc
the wants and needs of those whom God
created, but misfortune chose, and build
ON the broad foundation Mckinley laid
the superstructure that should glorifJ
the people and unity nation so recently
aroused to its great possibilities.

WHAT A BLOW TO THE PRESIDENT MEANS

WHAT A BLOW TO THE PRESIDENT MEANS.
When it becomes necessary for this
government to guard its officials with
armed soldiers and withdraw its officials
from the contact with the people of
whom they are one, then will the era of
imperialism have commenced and the
very thing that socialism and anarchy
seeks to prevent will become established.
It is ignorance of our form of govern
ment that impels attacks on the chief
executive. Men who will not under
stand that the president is not "rule1"
or "tyrant." He has great power but
nothing absolute; he is simply con-
stitutional agent, the sovereignty IS in
the people. All our liberties remain
afe as long as we ourselves remain
worthy of them. The presidency has
become more popular rather than less so
through the perfecting of our govern
ment, and 1t rests on popular sentiment
and popular confidence and to aim a
blow at the it is to strike at the very
acme of self government instead of the
principle of disposition.
Then let those who fear Imperialism,
be they socialists, anarchists or what
ever, be careful where they strike and
let all others beware of well-meant but
hasty suggestions which if adopted
would seek to separate the president
from the people and invest him with
the attributes of a ruler.

New Ulm review., 1901-09-18

The highest type of American lnteg-
rity is found in the conservatism Of the
citizens of this country. Who can grasp
the meaning of this great tragedy or in
terpret the words of the dying president
when he said, ellis will be DONE" This
is the balance wheel of the nation. The
impulse to meet anarchy with anarchy
to torture and kill while passion fires
the brain-may for moment rule but
it will be checked and held back by that
greater power, that sense of justice that
comes from conservative obedience to
that Higher will until it has become
sane, calm and inexorabile justice.
New Ulm review., 1901-09-18

The REVIEW notes with pride the
universal respect paid by the citizens of
this city to the dead president. Some
men do not understand that such
tributes to our chief executive are not
party sentiments. God forbid that any
citizen in New Ulm should be so narrow
in spirit or dwarfed in soul that they
should fail to grasp the enormity of the
crime that has been committed. It is
not republican who has been shot but
the president of the United States.

LAST Government DEAL
EXCHANGE OF LAND ON WEST
SIDE OF HARBOR.
Gets Wharf Room For Two Fish Ponds
Near the Prison-Deal Approved by
War Department

The settlement yesterday between the
Territorial government and the Oahu
Railroad Company in regard to the
exchange of certain lands on the west
side of Honolulu harbor for other lots
on the Waikiki and Eva side of Tie nri-
son has settled a question that has been
open for more than two years The i'm
mediate and most important result of
| the exchange is that the work of dred-
ging the slips and constructing the
wharves on that side of the harbor will
now go ahead without any possibility of
interruption.
1t will be remembered that Mr. Dill
lingham's plan was to construct three
wharves on the west side of the harbor
all running back parallel toward the
prison. The first two on the makai
side to belong to the railroad, and the
third, or main wharf, on the mauka
side, was to be owned and controlled
by the government. But the Terrific
rial government did not own all of the
land to be occupied by this wharf. The
line of the railway company's land
came through it in such a way that the
arc of a circle was taken out of the
middle and portions of each end were
Topped off. This is valuable land. In
exchange for it, so as to get the wharf
completely in its possession, the gov
ernment proposed to accept this strip
of land in exchange for a portion of
/ iNeiNd pbHus just beyond, KNOWN as
/ Block a, and another pond on the Eva
side of the prison known as Block ID.
! The deal was satisfactory to the rail-
/ road people, but at that time there was
| a question as to the authority of the
/ local government to swap or otherwise
/ dispose of public lands. Under date of
/ June 6, 1900, the War Department ap-
proved the swap of land as proposed.
I and also the harbor improvements re
| commended by Mr.. Dillingham;
AS the question of the authority Of
! the Territorial government dealing with
public lands was still pending however,
| the governor postponed final considera-
| ton on various technicalities. The set
tlement of the main question, that of
authority to act, brought about the ad-
! justment of all.
The Territorial government will have
to dredge a half of the slip on the ma
| kai side of the main wharf and all of
| the big slip on the mauka side. 1t is
the intention of the superintendent of
public works to recommend an appro-
I priation for this purpose, believing, as
he does, that this wharf, being outside
of the harbor lines will belong to the
Territory. The wharf will be 1900 feet
long and 90 feet wide. and therefore the
largest of any in this port. The reve-
nues from it will be considerable.
The land exchanged for the wharf
property consists of fish ponds that
have passed their days of usefulness.
Should they be filed in. which the rail-
road people purpose doing, the lots may
be turned to good account. Otherwise
they will not be worth the salt in the
mud within them, ,-..

DEPUTIES ARE SWORN IN

Mr.. Hasson stated to the force that
he did not know what Mr. Chamber

but felt sure that no change in the
force or system would be made without
good cause. Each man should make up
his mind to work hard and honestly.
and there would doubtless not be any
complaint in future. Hours would be
from a. m. to p. m. with an hour off
at noon. 1t would be necessary, how
ever, for two deputies and one lnterpre-
ter to remain in the office during the
poon hour. He would leave it TO the
force to arrange which particular men
should so remain.

CHILD WAS WORTH $5OOO.COURT CALENDAR ISSUED
COMES OUT THIS MORNING IN
BOOK FORM,
Only One Criminal Case, But More are
to Follow-over 200 Civil Jury Ac-
tions-Divorces, Etc.

The book form calendar Of the First
Circuit Court for the February term,
which viii begin next Monday morning,
has been issued. In general appear
ance it reminds one of the old depart
ment reports of the Republic, except
easily into coat pockets The book if
such it may be called, contains 1877
pages. Besides the cases already
moved on, there are spaces for other
cases that may reach the calendar dur
ing the term. On the back is a list of
court officials and employees, and a
statement at the bottom of term times.
Judge Little, of Hilo, is the father
of the new calendar Prior to his ap-
pointment by President Mckinley to a
position on the bench a blank sheet
calendar was issued by all the courts.
In fact at Hilo and on Maui it was
usually written out on foolscap paper
sometimes legal cap. When Little's
last term was about to open, some
thing dropped out of a clear sky, in
book form, announcing itself as Judge
Little's calendar.
Judge Humphreys examined it and
said This is good" Lawyers agreed
that it was just the thing, because it
was easier handled and could be more
easily preserved in their libraries for
future reference. So the calendar was
! adopted and Judge Little had trium-
! phed
A remarkable feature, or one that
may seem strange at first sight, in the
new calendar, is that there is only one
! criminal case. Probably never before
! in the history of the court has this oc-
| CURED. The secret of it is, however
| that appeals have not yet been per-
| fected in such way as to be regular
| ly listed. Blanks are reserved for an
I indefinite number of cases, and prob
| ably as many as fifty will go in the
| blanks before next Monday.
There are twenty-four jury waived
cases, all of which are civil. Among
| them are the Palea land matters from
| Koolau which the Supreme Court has
ordered on the calendar. The remain
der are assumpsit, quieting title, tres
pass, damages and the like.
The jury civil cases takes up most ol
| the calendar. In the list of cases are
202 suits, several of which will take uI
several days before the jury. 1t is
therefore very plain that the calendar
will not by any means be finished VI
| at this term unless a second judge Is
appointed to assist Judge Humphreys
II is not within the power of one maj
| to make much of an impression OF
! such long calendar.
| OF divorce and separation cases ther'
| are fifteen.
