OUR PRESIDENT.

Jul fhES1DENT.
a GLOOM settled over the whole
country and people, without respect
to party, race or creed, when the
wires told us Friday that the Presi-
dent had been shot down by the
hand of an anarchist. Sorrow for
the estimable wife was as great as
the fear for the life of the Chief
Executive. Personally all parties
agree that Mr.. Mckinley is good
man, and this is emphasized by the
contrast to be drawn between him
and the man who would succeed him
should the President die. Not that
Roosevelt is not morally good man,
but that his is not the nature to
make good President, particularly
at this time. With Roosevelt's
"strenuousness" and disposition to
scrap" We would stand in danger
of international complications worse
than are now upon us. And then.
too, the financial condition of the
country might become depressed.
Deny 1T as some will it is, neverthe-
less a fact that the country is in a
prosperous condition. The assassi-
nation of President and consequent
change of regime would tend to
affect financial conditions.
The South can congratulate itself
that the tragedy did not occur within
Its bounds. The triumphant tour of
the President through the South
land is memorable ANIMAL in our his
tory. The Empire State must bear
any odium attached to the sad event
and deal with the malefactor. Should
the President die the culprit will
most assuredly be electrocuted
Should he outliye the assault we are
told that the limit for which the
assallant can be sentenced is ten
years. 1t does seem to us that some
special law should be enacted to fit
the peculiar crime of Staying, or at
tempt at Staying, the rulers of this
country. 1t is to be noted that one
high In authority, aud Northerner.
gave expression to a sentiment which
possibly emanated from the excite. |
ment of the moment, but which goes |
to show that human nature is pretty
much the same-North or South
The official in question declared en-
phatically that this was case for
lynching.
Our government is largely to
blame for permitting such license to
anarchists as was exemplifed in Chi
cago some years ago, and more re.
Gently in Paterson, N. ]. The latter
place is a hot-bed of anarchism.
