THE president.

The FIRST thought must be that the muir

falo yesterday was the net Of madman
There are no violent political passions at work
anywhere in this country. as there were when
Lincoln and when Garfield were assassnated,
20 inspire fend or a fanatic with a malig-
nant purpose against the Chief Of State. No
anita gonlst of the Presidents policies has ever
failed TO temper opposition with frank
acknowledgment of his blameless character
and personal charm. He probably has not
single personal enemy in all the world. There
is hardly a human being who cherishes even
feeling Of unkindness toward him. 1t would
he difficult TO think OF anybody living or
dead. who has shown such capacity 10 make
friends and avoid making foes. This has
been a remarkable quality OF Mr.. Mckinley
all through his life and his Presidential
career has rendered 1t especially conspicuous.
Nothing could more strongly emphasize the
utterly hateful character Of anarchy in all its
forms than the choice of such a victim. He
Hath borne his faculties so meek. hath been
so clear in his great Office. that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
The deep damnation of his taking off.
But if there may be reason 10 think that
the assassin IS irresponsible IL is imperative
that such O conclusion shall not be adopted
except on the most complete and solid proof.
This Is not a time for easy compassion toward
a man who at least knew where aud when 10
point his weapon.
II appears amazing that within period Of
less than forty years three Presidents OF the
United States should have been shot down
But that fact is no indictment OF our insti-
tutions. The natural guarantees Of O benef
cent civilization may at any moment prove as
weak a defence against the steathy assault
OF an individual inhamed with a lust for
blood as are the artificial resources Of
despotism.
Happily there is reason for profound rejoic-
ing In the hope that the Presidents pure
blood and sturdy constitution. renvigorated
by the summers rest at HIS old home, will
save his life. An undivided country Will
ardently long and pray for that issue 10 an
appalling tragedy.

but IL exists, and must be measured. Not Re-
pubIicans alone. but Gold Democrats hold that
prejudice against believers In the gold standard

How far they would think Mr.. Warmers belief
that imperialism" overshadowed everything
and absolved him from allegiance to sound
money is one OF the questions of availability to
be considered. His bitter denuneiation of Amer
lean soldiers doing their duty in the Philip
pines whom he was reported TO have caiieu
'-drunkards, robbers and ravishers," is likewise
remembered by some, and might Affect the cor
diality of their support OF him even FOR a nu-
nicfpal office logic or no logic. Mr.. Philbin has
elements of strength as a most efficient worker
against Tammany corruption. and many per-
sons believe he is the most available candidate.
On the other hand, some fear that he Would
stand TO the average voter as the representative
of an excessively rigid enforcement of law. 1t
might also be charged that his good work or
the last few months had been done for seinsh
purpose If he were n candidate.
So we might go on with reference TO every
name mentioned. Not one of these objections
NAV be serious, and they are not raised in op-
of to illustrate the nature of the problem. The
point sought is simply that availability must
be the final touchstone in choosing the one leader

dates II will not do for any mans friends 10

selection of the proper candidate requires the
most careful canvassing of sentiment ana
preiudices. OF reasonable opinions and unrea-
sonahle opinions. OF everything that influences
the votes of all sorts and conditions or men.
That a candidate can be found against whom
nobody will have objection is not to be ex-
pected, but the problem is TO find one against
whom the fewest Will have objection and for
whom the largest number will have enthusi-
asm: and the opinions TO he considered are not
those of committees of reformers. or groups or
wise men, but those of the average run OF citi-
zens some foolish, some narrowmindedly parti-

PEOPLE AND Politics IN SOUTH AMERICA.

PEOPLE AND Politics IN SOUTH AMERICA.
The opinion was confidently expressed in
these columns some time ago-befOre the present
troubles In Northern South America assumed
public form and while they were known 10 only
a few as a potential menace-that the people OF
Colombia. Venezuela and the adjacent coun-
tries did not desire war, but regarded with
either tacit Indifference or helpless disapproval
the various disturbances cOntrived and fomented
by designing politicians Subsequent occurrences
and careful investigation OF circumstances have
confirmed us In that belief, and especially OBJ
servance OF the conditions surrounding the pres
ent unhappy embodiment OF Venezuela and
Colombia. The millions OF people of those coun-
tries do not want war. On the contrary, they
earnestly desire peace. War would be disas-
trous 20 them. Peace would promote their In
terests. There is no hatred or antagonism
between the peoples OF the two countries, and
no wish on the part OF the one TO conquer the
other The actual and potential troubles are
entirely the work OF the politicians for the
politicians.
