this means 900, 900, which In the pock-

our merchants and business men. II
therefore becomes u proposition In
which The whole business community

In the handling OF this case Judge
Simpson deserves the commendation
Of everyone, When some of the at
torneys for the defense began to plead
other business which needed their at
tention In order TO secure q continu-
anCe and delay, he informed them that
II the allegations made by those inter
ested In the prosecution were true, the
case was Of great public Importance,
ono Of vital concern to the people and
time was valuable. II the attorneys
for the defense were unable to attend
to II they would have to get new attor-
neys.
This was the tenor Of his remarks
all through. We have sometimes

duly hard on the defendants In Grim.

seemed to US that be has always been
so. But 1t must be said to his credit
that he bears down alike on the EN-
inently respectable secretary OF the
grain trust and the poorest vagabond
that comes into bis court. IL appeared
evident that II 1t had been done as he
wished, Smiley would not have gone to
jail constructively, but actually. This
Ia the only criticism we have to make
on the management Of the case. No
more courtesy should be shown to the
criminal In broadcloth than to the
criminal in rags, and Smiley ought to
have been made to smile, If he smole,
behind the bars, instead OF smiling In
the hotel corridors and lobbies. Had
it been some small junk dealer, or
some chicken thief whose stealings
would amount TO only few dollars,
he would Ia all probability not have
been permitted to go to jail construc'

WE have yet to find the arst man
who wac 80 narrow as TO even inslnu'
ate that the assassination OF President
Mckinley was In amy measure, direct
or remote, to be attributed TO the say =
Ings or teachings of his political op'
ponents; that 10 those people who be-
long to any political party organlza
tlOn, unless the anarchists with their
organization can be 30 classed, and
they cannot, BIT nevertheless and
notwithstanding this general neigh
bOrly and liberal belief In the Ameri.
canlsm OF the men Of all the parties,
there Ia now and then some journal
edited by men Of the pin hole cali
bre that will bring into It's columns
the inlimatlon that the assassination
grew out Of the teachings Of the party
II opposed In the last campaign, II
such meu are large enough to get an
idea they should by all means labor
Til they can understand that nearly
one half Of the people Of the United
States believed the teachings which
they claim are responsible for this out
rage, and that they did not believe
those teachings were In any measure
leading toward anarchy, To make
such foolish charges Is q slander upon
half Of the people that should be re-
sented. IL ls true that papers and men
Of both and all parties In the heat Of
q campaign have been Incorporate IN
their speech, but this applies to one
party not more than another. And the
most Incorporate Of all is the man or
the paper who now under the solem.
nifty Of death, for some supposed pOliti-
cal advantage will attempt to keep up
this bitterness, IL there Is any one
thing more than another for which Mr.
Mckinley may be commended 1t Ia for
the uniform dignity, moderation and
temperance Of his personal and public
bearing toward his political opponents.
This is a virtue for which the editor of
this paper commended him even dur
ing the stress of the campaign and
without any liability to the charge Of
eulogizing q man because be is dead
we can now say so again. And this ls
one of the paramount civic virtues,
Truth comes not out Of passion at any
time.

PERHAPS President Mckinley never
In all his life made better speech
than that he delivered just before the
reception at which he was shot. Al
most In his dying hour he expressed
some sentiments which II followed out
will bring at least some measure Of
Improvement 10 our trade relations.
He said: Our capacity to produce has
developed so enormously and our pro-
ducts have so multiplied that the prob
lem Of more markets requires our urg-
ent and immediate attention. Only a
broad and enlightened policy will keep
what we have, No other policy will
get more. In these times Of marvellous
business energy and gain we ought to
be looking 10 future, strengthening che
weak places in our industrial and COM
mercial systems, so that we may be
ready for any storm or strain. by
sensible trade arrangements which
will not interrupt our home production
we shall extend the outlets for our in
creasing surplus, A system which
provides a mutual exchange Of commo-
ditles IS manifestly essential to the
continued healthful growth Of our cx-
port tr9de, We must not repose in
fancied security that we can forever
sell everything and buy little or moth
ing. If such thing were possible it
would not be the best for us or for
those with whom we deal. We should
take from our customers such Of their
products as we can use without harm
to our industries and labor"
Reciprocity Is the natural out
growth of our wonderful industrial de.
velopment under the domestic policy
now firmly established. What we pro-
duce beyond our domestic consumption
must have q vent abroad. The excess
must be relieved through a foreign
outlet and We should sell everywhere
we can and buy wherever the buying
will enlarge our sales and productions,
and thereby make greater demand
for home labor. The period of exclu-
siveness is past. The expansion of our
trade and commerce is the pressing
problem. Commercial wars are unprof-
table" President Roosevelt In out
lining his policy gave stronger en-
phasis to the portion relating to trade
and tariff matters than anything else
and apparently went further than Nc
Kinley. Should these expressions
prove prophetic Of policy in strict ac-
cord with them it will mean a breaking
up of the old ultra exclusiveness of
the radical protectionists. But the
trusts will line up in opposition to such

ASSASSINATION seems to be a crime
that is growing in this country. And
what is more, of all that have occurred
to our prominent men only one was
committed by an anarchist. Prior to
the assassination Of Lincoln about
thirty-6ve years ago there arc no very
prominent examples that history re.
cords. Garfield came next about
twenty years ago and there have been
three OF much promince since. Carter
Harrison mayor OF Chicago only i've or
six'years ago and Governor Goeble
less than two years ago, Only two of
these probably may be properly said to
have had much politics connected with
the motive for the crime. Lincoln was
assassinated through revenge for the
lost cause Of the Southern c0nfederacy.
Goeole was assassinated by some
inoonshiner of Kentuckey aided and
abetted by those high in authority in
the republican party of that State
The Others were assassinated by per-
sons not strongly associated with any
political party, but 1t at all, the killers
of Garfield and Harrison belonged to
the same parties as themselves, repub-
lican and democratic respectively. 1t
is noticeable that many people who
have grieved and indignated over
the assassination Of Mckinley did no
such thing when Goeble was shot. One
deed was as dastardly as the other and
both should receive the utmost condem.
nation OF every good citizen. The man
who slyly winks at an assassination of
an official of a party opposing his, the
man who shows no indignation when
the crime strikes one with whom he
does not symcatbize politically has no
right to snort and tear his hair when
he asSassin's blow strikes bis leader.
