The declaration made by President
Roosevelt Immediately after taking the
oath Of office. that he would carry out
the policy of his predecessor in letter
and spirit, has operated TO quiet any
apprehension that may have been felt
in business circles that the new regime
would be marked by a radical depart
ure from the ways of the old. 1t is re-
ported today that the President has
been flooded with kilograms from all
over the country COngratulating him
upon his happy and effective assur-
ance, and rendering him hearty sup
port in carrying out the purpose it eX-
pressed.
No doubt the declaration was timely,
but it is a pity that in u country like
this Il should be considered necessary.
Ours is not personal Government, al
though the President is in a position
10 WELD a powerful influence in direct
ing its course. It is a government by
party. and the Chief of state is pre-
sumed to be guided by the principles.
policy, and objects of the party elecung
him. Mir. Roosevelt is as strong a Re
publican in politics as was Mr.. Mckiu-
ley There ought TO be no doubt in the
mind of any man that as the late Pres
idents Administration represented the
organized demands and purposes of his
party the same thing viii obtain under
the Administration of the present Chief
Magistrate in all essentials Of domestic
policy.
The country has cause for deep and
bitter grief, but not any for disquiet
or alarm Business conditions are not
unfayorabIe, and ought to improve
with the settlement Of the steel strike
and the movement of the great crops
TO market We do not anywhere detect
a disposition To manufacture a duaa-
cial crisis, and fail TO find any natural
cause for such a thing Anarchy in
the person Of a debased wretch has
succeeding in numbering an American
President who was dear 10 the people.
In killing him it has wounded the heart
OF every decent citizen Of the Repub-
lie But L. has not made The slightest
impression upon the Government or
the social order il would destroy. by
assassInatinE the highest representa-
tive Of that government and order
William Mckinley lies in his coffin, but
Theodore Roosevelt another COurag-
eOus and earnest American. at once
takes up the STAFF Of office dropped by
the dying hand that had welded it
brilliantly for years. and everything
goes on as before. Anarchists and an
archism cannot disturb a national
structure built upon such foundations
as our Constitution and free institU-
tons Certainly there is nothing in
the situation wherewithaI 10 feed the
least pessimism.

PEARL FISHERIES BUSY.

NEW YORK, Sept IG.-The growing de

known TO white men since the discovery
Of the island by Columbus and his fol-

OF the prime causes Of trouble among the
adventurers who first visited and settled
on these shores
Pearls having lately risen in value,
there has been extraordinary activity on
the island. Buyers from different parts
Of the world reside there and purchase
from the native fishermen the products
wrested from the depths.
About four hundred saiIbOats are used
by the natives in the fisheries of Mar
garita and its neighboring islands Of
Coche and Cuhasua. The principal beds
are at Fl TiranO. northeast. and NIaca-

thousand men find constant employment

The Funeral

As we write, the black-draped funeral

Chief Of State who was never happier
than when meeting his feIlow-citizens

are at the stations today. but with
barred heads and streaming eyes. dumb
and awe-stricken by the great Calam-
ity that has overtaken the nation.
Tonight OR sacred dead viii be with
us in Washington. Tonight the body
of William Mckinley will lie in the
White House Tomorrow it will be
taken 10 the Capitol. and over il pray

loved in life viii be sung. Then for 4
few too brief hours the people viii be
allowed a farewell view Of the face
they can never see again.
It is greatly to be regretted that re-
spect for the wishes Of Mrs. Mckinley
has rendered it imperative to change
the original funeral programme II
the services in the rotunda could have
been postponed until Wednesday. the
body would lie in state all day tOmor-
