ABANDONING THE HAND.
SHAKING CEREMONY.

Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed voices
popular sentiment when he says
that it time to protect presidents from
contract with crowds.
Mr. Reed sensiblyr emarks that such
protection will not call into question
the courage of a president. Neither
will it imply lack of Democratic
spirit. 1t will simply render it diff
cult for anarchists of the Czolgosz
type to carry out their plans of as
sassination. Under present condi-
tions it has been demontrated that a
body guard OF friends and detectives
cannot prevent a president from be-
ing shot down in cold blood. Detec-
lives were looking at CZolgosz as he
advanced to shake hands with the
president, yet he was cunning enough
to successfully conceal revolver un-
der handkerchief. 1t will be equal
ly easy to adopt some not less inno-
cent means of concealment in the fu-
ture, If the public reception is main
tanned.
The custom of shaking hands with
the public has always been an empty
ceremony at best. 1t merely gratifies
the curiosity of the crowd and invari-
ably exhausts the individual who
must submit to the indiscriminate
arm-pumping. During President Nc
Kinley's Western trip the constant
hand-shaking had much to do with
Mrs. McKinley's physical collapse.
Even strong men have broken down
under the strain. There will be few
to regret the abandonment of the GER
mony, now that It's possible conse-
quences have had such an alarming

INSISTS WELLINGTON
SHOULD BE EXPELLED.
Atlanta journal Says RE Has Array
ed Himself With Common Ruff
ans and Must Be Thrown Out
of U. S. Senate.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 13.-The At
ianta journal prints an editorial de
handing the expulsion of Senator
Wellington from the United States
senate. 1t also prints kilograms
rom % leading southern papers in
iorsing the proposition to expel the
senator. The editorial says;
1T is the misfortune of Maryland
chat she has George l.. Wellington for
one OF the United States senators.
On the evening when President Nc
Kinley was shot down and while it
was supposed his death was near at
hand, Wellington said to newspa
per reporter: Mckinley and l are
enemies. have nothing good to say
about him, and under the circum-
stances do not care to say anything
bad i am Indifferent to the whole
matter
1T was so incredible that man
reputed to be decent and who had
been the associate of respectable per-
sons, not to say one who occupies the
exalted office of United States sena-
to from one OF the oldest and most
have been guilty of such a brutal ex-
preston that the public preferred to
believe that Senator Wellington had
been grossly misrepresented. But
when the interview was read over to
him hours after it first appeared he
refused to deny 1t.
TN such a case silence can only be
construed as confirmation. No man
would omit an opportunity to repudi-
ate such words II he had not spoken
them or did not approve of them.
George l.. Wellington has placed
himself in the category and company

| Friday evening and rejoiced over a
deed that shocked the moral sense
of all civilized mankind. He is less

In 1892 Major Mckinley was made
permanent chairman OF the Republic
an national convention and received
81 votes for the nomination for pres
ident.
He was reelected governor of Ohio
in November, 1898. His election il
1896 depended mainly on the sound
money plank of the Republican plat
form.
To many of the people of this state
at the time of Major McKinley's first
election his taking hold of the
reins of government meant disaster
to the nation. Time has proved the
futility of their fears. The cond.
tion of the country at the present
time, in comparison with that at which
he assumed control of the nations af
fairs, speaks for itself.
With the virtues of political parties
this article has nothing to do. True,
Mckinley was better than Lis par
ty.' the level of which can rise 10
higher and sink no lower than the in
dividuals composing it. AS long as
there are people there will De grades of
men. Equality in all things would
mean stagnation.
All true citizens realize that cit-
zenship carries with it duties and re-
sponsibilities. The parties either aid
or hinder the individual in fulfilling
these. Loyalty to party limits the
individual, since the good of the great
est number is the end desired. But
no party can dictate the level to which
the individual can rise. There the
man leaves the party. If he is bet
ter than his party. his party through
him wins credit, since it is but a col
lection of individuals, and reflects the
higher or lower aim OF its constitu
ents.
At least this is true, the late presi
dent was a man of whom his party
need not be ashamed.

DURANGO MoURNS.
Our People Shocked Over the Sad
News from Buffalo.

The people of Durango were some
what prepared for the death of Presi-
dent Mckinley, at the same time the
announcement came as a shock.
Bulletins issued by The Herald yes
terday forenoon indicated that death
was probable at any time, and the af-
ternoon paper confirmed the precari-
Gus condition of the president.
While the announcement was some
what premature, the feeling was just
the same. 1t was half-past when
word was flashed over the Western
Union wires that death had taken
place. Immediately the fire bell
tolled and everyone remarked "The
president is dead" Merchants and
clerks came out of their stores to talk
it over with passersby. Many firms
at once draped the front of their bust
nes places with Grape. and although
the word came that Mckinley still
lived, he was considered dead to all
intents and purposes. However, anx-
ous hundreds anxiously waited for
news, calling at The Herald office for
the latest, and hundreds of others
read the extra issued at 9 o'clock. and
then went home. knowing that when
they arose in the morning Theodore
Roosevelt would be president.
The Herald might print columns
from remarks of our people. but they
would all be virtually the same.

OLD MART OF BERGEN.
interesting City, Second in Norway,
Described by William E. Curtis.

BERGEN, Norway. July l9.-(Wil-
liam E. Curtis in the Chicago Record
Herald .)-This is the second city in
Norway in size and importance, and
until the middle of the nineteeth cen
tury was the first, surprising even
Chrstiania in the volume of its com
merce. Its Importance dates back
% medieval times, when the Hansea-
tic League made it one of its princi-
pal stations and controlled its indus
try and trade from about 1860 to 1853.
Then Cristoph Walkendorf, an ener-
getic signor OF Bergen, broke the back
Of that mighty monopoly and made
manufacturing and the mercantile
business free to his own count"ymen.
Most of the artisans and other en-
ployes of league remained in Bergen,
however, and continued to ply their
trades, but were at least compelled to
become naturalized. Nearly all of
them had been imported from Ger
many. The records of the thirteenth
century give interesting information
about the different kinds of artisans
and the laws that governed them,
such as shoemakers, tailors. saddlers.
painters, joiners, coopers. house build
ers. boat builders, millers, furriers,
goldsmiths, comb-cutters, armorers,
sword-grinders and others to whom
certain quarters of the town were as
signed. where they might carry on
their different trades under the pro
lection of the league, which controll-
ed the raw material as well as the
manufactured goods that they pro
duced.
The Industrial history or Bergen
furnishes an interesting study to so
cial and political economists, for the
city has survived series of remark
able experiences with trade and labor
unions and monopolies other than the
Hanseatic League. That was the
first. Those that followed were more
like the guilds of London, Antwerp
and the other Dutch cities The Han
seattle League was founded in 1241 by
syndicate of wealthy capitalists in
Hamburg, Bremen, Lubbock and other
German cities and controlled the
commerce of all northern Europe with
more selfish and narrow policy than
the trusts of modern times have dared
to initiate. 1t was originally intended
to create monopoly in certain articles,
but soon extended its power and
grasped the shipping. the Industries
that furnished the cargoes and the
sources OF supply from which the
manufacturers obtained their mater
ial. The advantageous location OF
Bergen could not escape the notice
OF the league and under treaty with
King Haakan Haakanson 1t establish
ed headquarters here. which soor
made Bergen as important CONNER
cial port as London, Antwerp or Ham
burg.

THE NATIONS GRIEF.

William Mckinley, the beloved pres
ident of the United States, lies in n
casket. the victim of Assassin Czol-
agosa.
Words fail the average person at
this time. 1t is hard to formulate
Ssentences without break or sob.
1t is not our brother, your brother or
anyone's individual grief. 1t is the
nations grief, to say nothing of the
civilized world.
A GEEK ago Thursday the nations
chief executive was the lion of the Buff
falo exposition. x 1t was Presidents
Day at the Pan-American and the
city was filed to overfiowing with Wis
itors from all parts Of the United
States. A vast multitude paid hon.
age by listening to a speech that will
go down in history as a remarkable
effort-one that almost seems inspired.
The people of the country, irrespect-
i've of party, had leaned to love Nc
Kinley as MAN. Above every con-
sideration he was this in every sense
of the word. Some may have differ
ed with him as to policies, but none
as to the belief that he was honest in
every transaction-that he believed he
was serving the largest number OF
people to the best of his ability.
And that he should be the victim
of an assassin. 1t Is almost too much
to bear 1t makes one lose conf
dence in human nature-that blood
that circulates could prompt human
being to commit such a crime. AS
to his punishment. no doubt 1t will be
along regular lines but we hope not.
In the first place, the Spanish inqui-
sition should be resurrected for the
time and the assassin made to tell all
he knows about his fellow anarchists,
and then the whole lot and caboodle
should be given the same kind of med
icine. If 1t is true, and no doubt it
is, that Emma Goldman Is RESPONSE
Bile for the deed-incited him-then
she, too though woman she is, should
be included in the lot. Herr Most and
the entire gang can be spared and
man will not lose by the transaction.

1t was in the state of Ohio that
Wtham Mckinley, soldier, lawyer.
statesman. president, was born and
bred There. too, the greater part
of his life was spent.
He was born at Niles, Ohio, on Jan
uary %, 1S43. While still boy in
his teens the civil war broke out, and
young Mckinley obeyed the call to
arms, enlisting in May. 1861, as pri
vate soldier. in the 23d Ohio volun
teers He served with distinction.
His superiois soon found he could be
depended upon to do his duty, and in
September, 1875. he was mustered
out captain and brevet major.
At the close of the war he settled
in Canton. Stark county. Ohio, and
entered the legal profession.
From 1869 to 1871 he was prosecut
ing attorney of Stark county. This
may abe said to be the beginning of
his long public career. His stand
ing among the people of his own state
mCs be easily recognized by the fact
that he was elected as a representa-
tive to the 45th. 46th, 47th, 49th. 50th
and 51st congresses. He was also
elected to the 4Sth congress, but the
election was contested, and McKinley's
opponent was finally victorious.
1t was not long before Major Nc
Kinley became prominent among his
fellows and was recognized as an en-
thusiastic promoter OF the cause OF
protective tariff.
During the 51st congress he served
as chairman of the committee on
wayS and means. 1t was then THAI
the bill for a reduction of the reve-
nue ana equalization of duties on I'M
ports-well known as the Mckinley
bill. was prepared. The passage OF
the bill and its subsequent history are
too well known to need recapitulation.
In November, 1891 Major Mckinley
was elected governor Of Ohio. The
issue>of the campaign was almost en-
tirely the protective tariff. and 1t re-
suited in majority of $1,000.
In this connection it may be stated
as those who have heard his polit-
ical speeches well know-that he
strove to influence his audiences, not
by ornate speech or flowers Of rhet.
oric, but by simple yet forcible Ian
guage. He was plain man and he
preferred plain words. The very so
