Chicago, Sept. 20 Chicago Sunday
paid It's second tribute to the memory
OF President Mckinley. Memorial
services were held in all parts OF the
city during the day and night At
the Coliseum, where the principal ex-

In the afternoon the services were
for school children, and all the speak
ers endeavored TO impress upon the
young people the significance of the
assassination OF the president and the
conditions that actuated the assassin.
Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, was the
principal speaker at the evening
meeting He said in part:
Portion of Delivers Speech.
1.-THE government Of the United
States has given no attention, and the
government of the several states but
little, to the activity, in many of our
cities, to organizations, inconsiderable
in numbers, which boldly profess to
seek the destruction Of all govern
ment and all law The crime of Sept.
g. though evidently committed under
Lhe influence, II not the direction of
others, easily battles the courts, be-
cause being without the common mo-
tiyes of murder, it leaves no tracks
distinct enough to be followed, and
for that reason it escapes through the
very tenderness of our system of jul
r1sprudence towards persons accused
OF suspicious, however grave. A gov
eminent like ours Is always slow to
move and often awkward in its mo-
tons, but it can be trusted to find eff
fectiye remedies for conditions like
these, at least, after they become iu-
tolerable. But these remedies, in or
Ger to be effective, must not evade
tne sense of justice which is univer-
sal, nor the traditions OF civil liberty
which we have inherited from our
fathers.
1t ought not to be forgotten that
conspirators, working out their ne
farious plans in secret, in the dens
and caves of the earth, enjoy an un-
conscious cooperation and side-part-
nership with every lawIess influence
abroad in the world. Legislators who

governments which come to terms
with crime-all these are regular con.
tl1butors to the campaign fund of
anarchy That bowling mass, whether
in Kansas OF Alabama, that assem-
bly, of wild beasts, dancing in drunken
carousal about the ashes of some ne
gro malefactor, is not contributing to
the security of society; it is taking
away from society the only security
1t has. 1t belongs to the unenrolled
Tcge re - - 4.l-1css II ehe Unit
ed States. The words whick came
spontaneously to the lips of William
Mckinley, as he sank under mortal
wounds and saw the Infatuated crowd
pressing about his assailant, ought

feers of the peace from one end of
the land to the other, in all the years
that are to come, Let no one hurt

Atheism to Blame For Anarchy.
THE fatal word in the creed of an
archy is atheism Until that word is
spoken, until all sense of the moral
government of the universe and the
moral significance of human life is
lost, it is impossible to conceive,
much less to execute, this malignant
propaganda AGAINST the rights of man
Lind. No man who brings nothing
with him except a blind faith in nat
ural laws which nobody made and no.
ody administers will ever find a
permanent discipleship In a world
like this. 1t is their misfortune that
their works have had the most in
fuence among those who have been
least able to understand them.
ut may be an idle imagination. but
as l have heard the prayers which
have been offered and the sermons
which have been preached about the
dead body of William Mckinley, it
has come to look more and more ra-
tional to me that If indeed his assas-
sination was an incident of the stand
ing challenge of atheism against the
peace and order of society, it could
not now that Gladstone is no more,
have chosen sacrifice more fit to IL
lustrate the nobility of human char
acter, nurtured in the fear of God,
and trained from infancy in the law
Of Christ
"A long acquaintance with the late
president, in the intimacy of per-
sonal friendship which ended only
with his life, has always saved me
from that error of judgment which
has In some quarters moderated his
abilities and underestimated the value
OF his public services; but, standing
mere. before yet the flowers have with
cred which cast their faded beauty
upon his grave, | declare my solemn
belief that no achievement of his
great career, no triumph Of his epoch
making record at our capital, will
weigh so much for the welfare of the
world as the everlasting ministry of
the stainless life which he lived in
the faith OF the mother who taught
him first to repeat the words of the
Master Thy will be DONE"
Senator Mason Also Spoke.
Senator Mason, who addressed the
afternoon meeting, condemned the as
sassination of President Mckinley as
the most cruel, diabolical and cow
ardly murder ever recorded. He said
that he believed that the red flag of
anarchy would never again be permit
ted to float under the same sky with
