No Poison.

The discovery through chemical exami-
nation that the bullets fred into President
MckinEey's body were not poisoned some
what simplifies the judicial aspect Of the
case against Czolgosz and his alleged asso-
ciates. At the same time 1t compIicates the
medical phase of the matter, for it removes
one possible explanation of the presence
Of gangrene Ia the tissues. The elimination
of the poison suggestion must prove a
great relief to the public mind, for the
thought was abhorrent and led to many
serious speculations as to the methods Of
the assassination societies. There was
disposition to condemn the crime with still
greater emphasis when the thought Of poi
son was advanced. although nothing could
in fact deepen the iniquity of the motive
which aimed the weapon and pulled the trig-
ger. 1t is perhaps, fortunate. tending to a
clearer understanding Of the case In the
last analysis that there was no such COM
plication. The mystery of Czolgosz's in
spiration is now profound, as far as the
public has been taken into the confidence
OF the police, and 1t will be cause for ma
tionaI uneasiness If the full course of the
plot which. most people today believe, was
the basis of the crime, Is not revealed.

The Memorial Services Yesterday.
The memorial service yesterday afternoon
to William Mckinley. late President Of the
United States, was a fitting climax to the
ceremonies and expressions Of sorrow and
grief which have marked the capital since
the tragic news was received here. Yester-
days unexampled outpouring Of people, the
patient waiting of thousands Of men and
women unable to secure entrance, until an
overflow meeting could be organized, the
solemnity of the exercises themselves. the
high mark Of eloquence and feeling attained
by the speakers and the presence together
of the ministers from every church In the
District Of Columbia, together with national
and local officials, all combined to make this
service the most impressive expression Of
the capitals, and, to an extent, Of the ma.
tons deep feeling Of loss.
At the exercises at the Capitol the public
were excluded and the acoustics were such
that no word Of the speakers could be
heard. In the churches on Thursday the
gatherings were church family affairs. but
yesterday all creeds. the public, the city
and the nation could and did join together
In one grand memorial service to the be-
loved dead.

The Inadequate White House

The citizens of Washington worked earn
estly in preparation for the celebration last
December of the one hundredth anniyer-
sary of the removal of the capital from
Philadelphia They hoped that Congress,
recognizing the propriety Of providing some
substantial and suitable souvenir of the
occasion, would act without further delay
to appropriate for a great public structure,
such as the Memorial bridge or an enlarged
White House. But although the need for
both OF these structures was generally ac-
knowledged, nothing practical was done
toward their consummation. Today the
project for a new or an enlarged White
House remains virtually where 1t has stood
for several years, with the solitary advan-
tage of the prepsEstion of comprehensive
plans. illustrated by a model.
Presidents have naturally been backwad
about recommending new quarters for
themselves. Mr.. Mckinley, while entering
heartily into the merits OF the plans before
him. felt restrained from personally urging
their adoption Just It Is probable that

The Traredy md 1904.

The warn that Mr. Roosevelt by his own
declaration, will not be a candidate for his
party's nomination for President in 1904
serves but to can attention to the change
in the general situation with respect to
that campaign which has been produced by
the assassination of Mr.. Mckinley.
Up to the day Of the Buffalo tragedy a
number of names had been canvassed in
connection with the next republican presi-
Dental nomination, and a spirited contest
for the honor seemed assured. Mr.. Roose-
Welt and Mr.. OdeH of New York, Mr.. For
aker and Mr.. Hanna of Ohio, MIR. Fair
banks of Indiana, and Mr. Spooner OF
Wisconsin composed q most interesting
field. The feeling prevailed that the party
would be we'll and strongly led let It's choice
go east or west. All being men Of reputa-
tion and experience. any one of them, it
was thought. would be able to rally the
party to his support.
But by his assumption of the duties of
President Mr.. Roosevelt has suddenly be-
come the leader of his party. It's policies
are now in his hands. 1t IS On trial In his
performances. If he succeeds-and he will
exert every effort to that end-he will in
evitably become his party's standard
bearer three years hence. What better
step could it take in such circumstances
than to nominate him by acclamation?
Who could hope to defeat him for the
nomination? On the other hand, if the de-
velopmeuts of the next three years are not
promising for the republicans, who will care
to contest the leadership with him? 1t is
likely to go to him IN that event also with
out opposition. The natural feeling will be
that Mr.. Roosevelt should play the string
out.
These developments have affected the
democratic situation somewhat. If Mr.
Roosevelt impresses himself strongly on
the country; If he carries out Mr.. McKin-
ley's policies and holds his party well to-
setheri if the era of good feeling continues
and American prestige abroad remains
high, the democratic nomination will rot
be in the highest degree alluring. We may
not witness such contest as has hereto
fore been promised. The democratic lead
ers have insisted that Mr. Roosevelt would
not be a safe man in charge of the COACH
and. expecting his nomination in 1904 at
the end of Mr. McKinley's term, they were
preparing TO make their campaign against
him largely on that proposition He has
now unexpectedly taken the reins; and if
he shows skill as whip. keeps the coach
ground he will deprive his critics of their
only text.
Many things may happen between low
and 1904 tending to change the present
situation radically. But it cannot In that
time be changed more radically with 1e-
spect TO the next presidential race than
the situation Of a fortnight ago vas
changed by the pistol shot which brought
Mr. Roosevelt into the republican national
leadership.

a Morbid Curiosity,

Reports come from Auburn, N. Y, that
already applications are being received in
large numbers by the warden of the state
penitentiary there. from people who hone

the part of the public that the wretch will
be condemned to death and executed In due
course, and from a variety of sentiments.
but presumably mainly from that of morbid
curiosity. springs this feverish desire to
witness the horrid spectacle.
This is not a spirit TO be encouraged or
praised The wish TO see the criminal suf-
fer death does not necessarily denote great
patriotism or love for the murdered Presi-
dent. Il will help the movement toward
better citizenship not whit for vast

The law requires that a certain number
of persons be present at these occasions
officers of the court, physicians and repre-
sentatives of the press. The tendency is
toward limiting this number more and more
narrowly distinct from the old custom
OF public executions. The hangings at
Tyburn seemed to have no repressve ef-
feet upon the criminal instincts Of the low
est English classes. The belief today Is
that the best results are obtained for re-
form when the criminal meets his doom in
comparative seclusion. with safeguards to
ensure decent observance OF the laws
Czolgosz today represents the desire Of a
degenerate mind to be regarded as
martyr. IN the degree that he is exhibited
to public view and exploited. therefore, he
Will probably regard his crime well COM
mitted. His vile associates and abettors
will doubtless be more pleased by the spec
tacle of their agent electrocuted in the
presence Of a great miscellaneous crowd
than by an execution conducted in semi
privacy and In the strictest accordance
with the statutes. 1t is TO the interests of
wholesome reproof that they be disappoint-
ed in this. Czolgosz should be sent to his
fate in the presence Of only such persons
as are required to meet the requirements
Of Justice. He should at no stage of the
process be permitted TO pose before the
world a hero.

The Cars Latest Visit.

France and Russia have had their con-
rabulation, and the czar has left for home.
France put her best foot forward. and we
may believe that the cars visit afforded
both him and his host much satisfaction.
The French fighting machine was in evil
dence on a large scale both on land and
sea, and the czar Is said to have been
greatly impressed. The toasts were formal
and uniiluminating. The wine, we may be
sure, was good. The only really notable
and regrettable feature Of the whole af-
fair was the extraordinary pains taken to
protect the august guest from personal
harm. Nobody out of uniform anywhere
got more than a glimpse Of him, and the
people Of Paris did not get so much as
that. Fear Of anarchists kept him out Of
the capital Of the nation. So that 1t was
all summed up in a howdy-do. a great
muster of troops and warships, and a
goodbye.
How eagerly the world grasps at the
promise of a sensation, and out of what thin
and scant material such promises are

But the newspapers of the country have
very generally recognized the Importance
of the matter and have printed strong ar
grments in favor of an immediate change
of program.
There are feur possibilities In the line of
White House improvements: the present
building may be enlarged by the addition
of wings; 1t may be entirely replaced by a
modern structure; it may be retained as an
office building while a presidential resi-
dence is provided elsewhere, or 1t may
be retained as a residence while a sepa-
rate presidential office Is erected. The
sentiment In general has always ia
vored the union of residence land Office.
1t has likewise favored the retention Of
the old structure for historical reasons.
Therefore the trend of opinion is toward
the aforementioned plan for the enlarge
ment of the mansion. as by the plans
which formed a feature of the centennial
celebration last December.
The American people are not willing to

President serious personal Inconvenience in

hospitality of the occupant. Not for long
time has there been SO numerous family

indeed if Mr.. Roosevelt were to be forced
by the circumstances to resort to expe-
dients which would embarrass the average
citizen in private life. Yet such possi-
bility is today present as result of these
many years of procrastination. The prob
lem should not wait for solution many

ing his predecessors cabinet By keeping
the cabinet in office he has not only fore
stalled the possibility Of any complication

assurance possible of determination to
be guided in the administration of his high
Office by just the conservatism that Is
needed in this hour to insure amicable re-
Iations with foreign powers and the contin-
uance Of prosperity and confidence at
home. Far apart as he Is from us in poll

but his due that we should say he has
fully justified so far the claims of his most

Is Mr.. Roosevelt the twenty-ffth or the

The shooting of Washingtonian in
Pennsylvania as result of a struggle with
a burglar In the middle of the night brings
closer home than ever the argument In
favor of Furnishing housebreaking at night
with death. The man who shot Mr.. Birch
at Allentown had murder in his heart. He
shot to kill, that he might escape the con-
SEQUENCES of his original crime of at
tempted theft The result of the shooting
does not affect the Intentions of the as
sailant. Nor should 1t be different with the
burglar who is caught without firing at his
captors. He enters the house armed. de-
