Medical Differences About McKinlcy's
Case.

The suddonness with which the whole
nation was plunged from the pinnacle of
hope and confidence that President Nc
kinloy would surely recover to the GER
tainuos of nationa! loss irreparabe and
popular grief inconsolahle consequent up
on his death, has made it incumbent upon
the surgeons anG physicians to offer some
explanation of the way in which the pub
lie was lead to look for his restoration to
health. This apparent necessity has led
to published announcements by different
authorities in the case which shed inter
c,ting light on the situation.
Before proceeding to "A comparison of the
assertions of the medical and surgical
experts who attended President Mckinley
it may be profitable TO consider the sit
uation as it existed so far as the public
was concerned 1t is now evident that the
whole American people We're so intensely
anxious for the beloved Presidents re-
CoVery, that they allowed themselves to be
unduly encouraged and ignored symptoms
and indications which in ordinary cases
have been given proper emphasis and i'm
portance. The people knew from expert
ence in connection with the case of the
laIncnted Garfield, that the chances Were
against the recovery of Mr.. Mckinley but
this parallel was met by the thought that
surgery and medicine ard electrical science
had made such wonderful strides in TWEEN
~ years, as to constitute the difference
between life and death
The manner in which the distinguished
patient rallied and seemed to recover
strength and spirits furnished ground
fer marked optimism in conncc-
ton with his case, and yet there remain
ed the high temperature and rapid pulse
which betokened danger Local physicians
everywhere occasionally spoke Of the I'M
favorable symptoms noted, but the poo-
pie We're constrained to believe Mckinley
would be spared to the nation and the re-
assuring tldngs which continued to come
from Buffalo helped to swell the wave Of
popular hopcfuness and expectation.
Pre- sident Garheld's physicians announc-
ed after his death that they felt them
selves Influenced by their sense of obliga-
ton to the American people ana in the
light of utteranccs by some of the men Of
science who attended President Mckinley
it is evident that this influence was not
without its effect in this instance. It Is
generally agreed that the surgeons per-
formed their work with the utmost skin,

The Death of'the President.

For the third time in its history the ma
ton is called to mourn the loss of a Prcsi-
dent, slain by an assassin's bullet. There
is but one consolation in the case-name-
dent to die, from the anarchists assault
upon his life, he was spared the lingering
powers of Garfield gradually sank; and
the country has been spared the long
months of distress and suspense. through
which it passed in August and September,
1881. The first news of the tragedy in the
Temple of Music at Buffalo came
with terrible shock to all hearts
of persons of all ranks and parties
ard stations in life save those Of few
desperate anarchists, half crazed cranks,
and men of minds unbalanced by political
site. 1t was the last thing that
the people expected to happen, AMI

The Call TO Public Mourning.

The invitation of Mayor llawley to our
citizens to assemble or rhdrfdpy to give
public expression to the sorrow which fills
all hearts and to do honor to the memory
of President Mckinley, is in accord with
preccdcnts. When Mr. Lincoln was ASSN.
atod Acting Secretary of state Hunter is
sued a proclamation inviting the people
OF the country to meet and hold suitable
Public exercises at the time of the funeral
of the late President at Washington.
Mayor \ l., Catlin issued like prociama-
tion, calling on our citizens TO meet in
their respective houses of worship at the
time set. The two Congregational
churches hclG ioint service at the First
church, with addresses by Hon George +.
Edmunds ana the pastor Mr. Nix. At st.
Paul's services were conducted by the roc
tor Mr. Buel: at the Methodist church by
Professor Petty and at the Unitarian
church by Mr. Ware Services were also
held in the Catholic churches

field died, Governor Furnham issued a

dred and fifty clergymen in the State. re-

physicians added to his strength of con-
stitution and cheerful spirit, would under
God, and in answer to the prayers OF
multitudes, carry him through any crisis
to follow. and restore him to the country,
which he loved and which loved him.
From this cheerful expectation, the dis
ouieting news of Friday brought a sad re-
vusion.
We believe It to be true that no Presi-
dent since Washington. has stood so high
in the affection of the people as William
Mckinley. The passions of the Civil War
in 1865, in half of the land, stood largely
between Mr.. Lincoln and the regard in
which even the adherents of the lost
cause--lost largely through his wisdom and
dcvotion--came in later times to hold him,
and no other President on the long list of
chief magistrates, except Mckinley, has
approached those two in popular esteem.
His obvious purpose to be the President
not of party but of the entire people; his
kindly feeling extended to persons In all
ranks in life; his graciousness of manner;
his unbemished personal character; his
lovable traits, captured the hearts of all
who came in contact with him, or watched
his career. He never uttered malici Us
speech" charity to all and malice towards
none" was his motto No unkind remark
even against his slayer escaped his lips. If
he had personal enemy it was without
cause or justification for the enmity.
Mr.. Mckinley has passed away in the
zenith of his fame and height of his use I'll
ness. His term in he Presidency will pass
into the history of the American
republic as one Ct the most i'm
portant periods in his life lie
will be mourned however even more
for his virtues as a man than for his sue
cess in politics or in executive position
He was a brave soldier in his youth able
lawI er in his prime; legislator of natiol-
al fame and high inhuence-the herald of
coming prosperity and progress; success
full and admirable head of the nation,
bearing with unsurpassed dignity an /
equanimity the enormous responsibilities Of
his position. His latest public utteranee,
his speech al Buffalo, won for him the un-
stinted praise OF some of his severest cri-
tics, and of wise and good men OF all par
ties.
The country will mourn mis- loss with
deep and lasting grief; but no revolution
or panic follows his death. The Pres
idont dies and a strong man steps into the
place. The President dies; but the ropub-
lie lives; and it should be strengthened
rather than weakened BY it's lesson of sor-
row.
