its disadvantages in the darkest col
ors for the purpose Of influencing
that power In the direction Of his
partisan interests. Much that he said
in his address of yesterday was lit
orally true, timely and forceful. But
by enlarging upon one aspect Of the
labor question only he left the impress
sion that the -wage-earners of the
United States are objects Of comms-
seration. That deduction is false. The
laborers Of this country are not to be
pitied 50 much as congratulated, for
their position is q relative one.
Look at the wealth of this country
is the division just?" was one OF
Mr.. Bryan's interrogations. No, it i'd
not just, nor can the distribution Of
wealth be absolutely just under any.
form Of government and with any race
of people. Even the socialistic doc
trine, which aims at ideal co-opera-
ton, distribution and compensation,
cannot possibly insure absolute equ
ity, for some deserve more than 9th
ers-earn more than others. Such a
question answers itself, but the effect
Of asking it Of the poorer class is to
engender a feeling among that class
against the richer-and that is not in
accordance with the democratic spirit
Of this country, which gives every
nan a right to acquire and possess.

to the nation which the tolerance of
anarchists may prove is an awful one
to contemplate. But this last act Of
the long haired assassins may awake
the nation to the peril which their
presence must ever be and laws may
be enacted which will drive them
from these shores the same as they
have been driven from other shores
where once they conducted their plot

succeeded in accomplishing his pur-
pose. Instead of being faster, success
sive and exacting trials of the rela-
tive merits of the old and new defend
ers have proved to the satisfaction
of those conducting the trials that
the only hope of longer retaining pos
session Of the cup lies in the ability
of the old boat to outsail the new
challenger which Sir Thomas has
brought over from England.
The disappointment which the de-
cision must bring to many on this
side can but be great; not because
to Columbia has again fallen the
honor of defending the cup, but be-
cause of the proof it apparently is of
the inability of American genius to
improve upon past efforts. Perhaps
it is chance that must be held re-
sponsible for the failure to design
and construct a yacht faster than
the old, and not the evident attain
ment of a point of ecellence a con-
tanned in speed ability beyond which
the American designer and builder
may hope to go.
In the new Shamrock the British
naval architect has given ample proof,
according to the opinion of those COM
petent to judge of such matters, that
he had not yet learned his lesson
when he sent over former boats, but
that he has learned since then and
has improved on his past efforts.
Whether inthe boat now here he, too.
has reached his apparent limit of
skill may not be said now. Should
Columbia again prove winner it will
then be evident that Notwithstanding
all the progress he has made in the
years that have passed since racing
for the cup has become III of the
features of international yachting
contests he has not yet been able to
attain the degree of skill in design
ing that marks the work of his
American competitor. On the other
hand if Shamrock lifts the cup it
should prove an incentive to Yankee
skill and pluck that will find consum-
nation in the craft possessing the
ability to outsail anything the Brit
Usher may be capable of constructing
as a defender, for then the positions

versed. But until the cup shall have

tea vendor every loyal American will
continue to back Columbia and gam

Canton, Ohio, Sept. 6-News of the
attempted assassination of President
Mckinley spread like wild fire
throughout the city. The first news.
an Associated Press bulletin to The
Repository, was given to Mrs. M. G.
Barber, Mrs. McKinley's sister. Not
long after the first reports were re-
ceived, citizens began to gather in
small companies in front of the Nc
Kin}ey residence in North Market
street. Before many minutes had
elapsed a surging crowd Of anxious
persons gathered and many ventured
up to the door of the Mckinley home
to ask the attendants. what was the
latest news received. Some of the
presidents neighbors, who reside in
the vicinity, called at the residence
to ask what, If anything, had been
heard from Buffalo, as to how it. hap

To all corners, the maid, who has

SHEDS FALSE A

Kansas City Star: In his address
at Electric park Monday Mr.. William
j. Bryan had nothing new to offer to
the great gathering of w-age-earners.
1t was to have been expected that
Bryan, like all other politicians who
are privileged to speak on such oc-
casions, would point out some of the
needs of labor and give, his views as
to the near that should be employed
to meet them. But certainly such a
day as that set apart by the trades
for an annual celebration should bring
forth something besides a gloomy pic
ture. of the industrial situation.
To say the least, there are two sides
to labor conditions as they exist at
present. Much might be said to cheer
and encourage those who represent
the trades. They have bettered their
hours and increased their remuner-
alton. They have brought about
more and more favorable physical
surroundings. They have exalted their
crafts until they rank first among the
trades people Of the world. They live
in a democratic country where indus
try is the watch word and where the
sluggard has no standing. They enjoy
the freedom and the protection Of
American institutions under which the
poor man Of today has a chance to be
a man Of competence tomorrow. In
no other land are social conditions
SO favorable to the workingman.
Mr.. Bryan has neve dignifed labor
in his addresses to It's bodies. He
has dwelt almost wholly upon the vot-

where THE LAWS FAIL.

While the news that comes from
Buffalo is Of a more r~eassuring nature
and calculated to alley the worst fears
of a nation, the danger may be said
to have not yet passed and a devoted
people will continue it's prayers for
the recovery of the great and good
man who is battling with the common
foe of all mankind. That he may re-
cover and successfully end the second
administration SO auspiciously begun
is the ardent wish and sincere hope
of all loyal American citizens. Politi-
cal differences are forgotten and party
feeling merged into the common grief
which fills the minds of all, while the
resentment felt toward the wretch
who attempted the life of the presi-
dent is not confined to one party Or
to n locality. 1t is as widespread
as the sorrow that prevades the ma
ton which his act has caused. Next
to the regret that such an outrag-
ous crime should be possible in our
land is the regret at the ~inadequacy
of the punishment which awaits the
perpetrator of it in the event Of the
recovery of his victim.
Although it may be considered a
reasonable act and is SO regarded
by the people, an assault on the pres
ident of the nation under the con
stitution constitutes no crime against
the nation and the punishment to
which the perpetrator is liable is no
more severe than if his attack had
been directed against any otheAc iti-
zen. He must be accorded the same
mode of trial and is entitled to the
same rights and privileges. Should
President Mckinley recover, and all
prayers are that he may, at the most
| his assailant could be sentenced to
only ten years Imprisonment, for such
is the law of the state in which he
committed his crime and under this
law he must be tried. Only particu-
lar ~offenses against the nation are
treason. Nothing that may be done
as to the representatives of the nation
can be SO construed, for unlike in
other lands, the allegiance of the
American citizen is not due to the
president or even government, but
to the United States.
It is to be regretted that some
constitutional or statutory provision
does not exist by which special pun
ishment is provided for the punish,
does not exist by which special pen.
