WASHINGTON LETTER.

! THE tragic and wholly unexpected ca

the overshadowing topic of interest ir
| WASHINGTON to-day. While astute OBJ
server # public events had long recog.
nizeI the possibility of such a tragedy, to
the mass of the people it had the bewil-
dering effect of a thing entirely unforeseen
1t had been foreshadowed to some extent
in the assassination of the Empress
Elizabeth and of King Hubert, which
proved the power and wicked daring of
the anarchist societies; and it was practi-
cally certain that sooner or later this
power would be felt in America, in pre-
cisely the form which it has taken. The
attempted assassination of H. G. Frisk bv
Bergman, after the Homestead riot.
showed that such deed was not by any
means foreign to the thoughts of anar-
cfiists in America; and this type of as
sassin regards his victim as desirable in
proportion to the power which he wields.
That the thing was planned skillfully
and carefully, and that the assassin was
ordered by some secret association to
commit the crime, was proved to the salts,
faction of everybody within reach of
daily papers, before the news was six
hours old. The fact that the assassin is
not of the criminal type, that he has
been calm and coherent in his testimony
and that his action was quite deliberate
and well-planned, all remove this case
from the class of crimes committed bv
half-crazy place-hunters like Guiteau, or
political antagonists like Booth. It is
simply the result of an organized, deter
mined, and well-considered movement,
whose object is, by the assassination of
person in power, and by causing public |
of one sort or another, to intim-
date and terrorize society with a view |
70 abolishing all social institutions. That |

are unduly severe, but the department
says that men appointed in this way
enter the service on supposed equality
with West Point graduates and ought to
know, If not as much, at least somewhere
near as much as the cadet knows at grad
uatlon. Many of them probably know
more IN some ways. But the point il
that it is the aim of the department IN
place In responsible positions men who
come from families which attach some
importance to education, or who have
had the spirit and energy to get an edu-
cation Tor themselves; and the examina-
ton is the only practicable method of
wedding out uneducated men who have
nothing in common with their brother
o1hcers. In short, the education is sort
OF shIbboleth. The conclusion of the
whole matter is that there are said to be
at present over 400 vacancies, and nobody
who was not in the Army during the
Spanish war is eligible.

Another difficulty is bothering the
Navy Department. Surgeon General Van
Reypen of the Navy is trying to find four
young doctors who can pass the examina-
ton for the position of assistant surgeon
In the Navy Department. 1t has been
hard work of late to find good men for
the grade of assistant surgeons, and the
medical corps has not been complete
since the civil war. The trouble seems
to be that the requirements are so great
that most of the men who can pass the
examination are in private practice and
earning good incomes. The Navy De-
partment also has trouble in getting
sailors for cruisers and battleships.

1t is doubtful if the news could have
caused, in the rest of the country, such
deep-rooted pain and apprehension as it
caused in the national capital. 1t may
be said without qualification that no
President has endeared himself to the
people of Washington more than Presi-
dent Mckinley. His unfailing tact, his
invariable, serenity, his attention to the
wants and pleasures of those around him,
have become known to the people of
this city in a hundred different ways.
Republicans all over the country may
have learned during his public life, before
and after his coming to the White House,
to respect his ability and admire his
character; in Washington, which has
been his home for many years, he has
won the esteem of even his political op-
ponents by his admiral personal quail
ties.

There are men in power who pride
themselves ON their ability to say ''No";
but they frequently say it in such man.
ner. that their interlocutor feels as if he
had been kicked. Mr.. Mckinley could
always refuse favor in a way that made
the disappointed one choke down his feel
ings until he was out OF the official presence
and even then he was not always sure
that he was disappointed No one ever
had to complain of a discourtesy from Mr..
Mckinley, as Representative or as Presi-
dent. He was placed in many difficult
positions, but he always got out of them
without hurting anyone's feelings more
than was absolutely necessary. Another
loveable trait in his character is bis faculty
of remembering and noticing little things
of Importance to others. If one of his
friends had daughter married or lost
child, President Mckinley never forgot
to express his sympathy with the joy or
sorrow, as the case might be. If he could
do nothing more he would send tactful
little note. He was never on his dignity,
because his dignity was himself and not
a pedestal. He was accessible and ap-
proachable from the first of his term in
the White House, and he always seemed
to know what to say to everybody.
Possibly part of this tact and consider
alton may be traced to his well-known
devotion to his invalid wife. Those who
are members of the inner circle of Wash |
ington society know many charming little
stories OF this devotion, which are not
given to the public. A man cannot give
himself SO completely to the task of caring |

Middletown transcript., 1901-09-14

A curious item appears in the news
which the War Department is giving out
The Act of Congress which increased the
army to 100000 men caused promotions
all along the line; and eventually there
were about 300 vacancies in the position
of second lieutenant to be filed by the
President. The law is that these places
shall be filed by giving commissions to
enlisted men who pass the examination
and by the appointment of men within
certain age limits who have served in the
volunteer army. The famine alluded to
is not due to lack of applicants Secre-
tary Root had nearly 1900 applications
to sort over and weed out, and probably
very one of the applicants thought he
could perform the duties of the position
to perfection. The enlisted men had the
first chance. About 400 took the exam;-
nation, and. of these nearly 200 passed
and received their commissions. Then
many of the former volunteer officers and
men were disposed of, by being designa-
te1 for appointment. 1t is not known
how many of them have been THROUGH
this experience, but the total runs into
the thousands. The trouble seems 10 ha
