Mckinley the Pacihcator

Mr.. Lincoln Is described in history as
the Great Emancipator. Mr.. Mckinley
will be described as the Great Pacidca-
tor. Each as president rose TO an emer-
gency in a to earn an imperishable
fame.
Mr.. Lincoln did not make the slay-
cry issue. nor at the beginning OF his
administration did he take hold OF IL in
a way to please the anti-slavery peo-
pie. His first thoughts were for the
preservation of the union. But as the
war proceeded emancipation Of the
slaves became a matter of e~xpediency
as Well as of justice; and when the
president set his hand and seal to the
emancipation proclamation he took to
his place at the head OF the line OF all
who had wished to see, and had labor
ed to make, the slave a free man. He
absorbed into his own person by that
act the fame of thousands, who, in one
way or another had helped to lay the
foundations for it.
Mr.. Mckinley was not the first pres
ident to manifest confidence in the
loyalty Of the south to the restored
union. Indeed, all serving since the
union was restored had lone it. Gen.

flee. Mr.. Arthur took the liveliest in
terest in the south's prosperity. Mr..
Cleveland, of course, did SO, for the
south had made him president. And
General Harrison met the southern
men with a cordial h2ndclasp. The
south was worthy of this, and stood
ready at n time to demonstrate her
good faith in defense of the flag.
Rnt If fell TO Mr. MnKin1av'S lnt IN
put h south to the real test. The war
with Spain was a call to all the people.
The president was charged with the
organization of all the forces. His re-
sponSibility was very great, and in or
der to achieve success he must secure
the cooperation of all sections. The
south anne forward readily and hand
somely. And the president met her
with a show of perfect confidence. He
commissioned for important commands
some of the most eminent Of the soldiers
Of the co~nfederacy, and in the persons
Of Wheeler and Lee, Butler and Oates,
and others. he found men OF high COM
potency and ~undoubted bravery. He
applauded their services, and at the
close Of hostilities, enrolled Generals
Wheeler and Lee in the regular army.
On that day sectionalism, in the sense
in which it had been understood for
forty years, became a thing OF the
past. Mr.. Mckinley had crowned the
good will of Grant, Hayes, Arthur,
Cleveland and Harrison with a testi-
monial which the whole country en-
