an air that would have become DR.. TAN

away to America to make his fortune.
Prosperity proved somewhat coy, but
the young emigrant managed to save
enough to pay his way home to Glas-

him Yankee shrewdness and enter

the YELLOW PRESS.

The anarchist must go. So must the
yellow journal. Neither will be longer
tolerated. Reckless, INSCRIPTIONS and
unprincipled journalism has made men
disconnected in land of plenty, and has
sown the seeds of strife in prosperous
and happy communities. 1t has shouted
infammatory invective. 1t has published
vicious cartoons, which have strongly
appealed to the class which is restrained
from violence only by the strong arm of
the law. 1t has sneered at everything
good and pure and innocent, and has
held up to execra ton men in public office
whose lives are pure and whose official
acts are clean and wholesome. 1t has
attacked wealth with fiendish bitterness,
in order to sell it's firebrands. It has
covertly taught assassination even if it
has not openly proclaimed that it would
be best to remove all constituted author
ity. It has been audacious, denrdgogic
and contemplate. 1t has proclaimed
that President Mckinley has sold the
republic to the trusts and that he did
their bidding; that he was foe to the
common people and that justice could
not be secured in the courts of the land.
1t has proclaimed Vice President Roose-
Welt murderer. 1t has pictured him
as an assassin among men engaged in
legitimate warfare. 1t has advoca ted
tarring and feathering the supreme
court and riding the members on rails
through the streets of Washington.
This and much q vo1lnu- l.
ism done in the United States. The pa
pers of this class have played upon the
passions of men. They have infamed
the minds of the weak. They have
caused class hatred. They have told
brazen and mendacious lies about good
men who serve the people in a public
capacity. No measure could be proposed
in congress by any republican member
without bringing down a storm of vitri-
Ollie abuse upon the head of rne offender,
Who in the eyes of the yellow journal was
guilty of a heinous crime.
Having planted the red flag Of anarchy
upon hill, having called to arms with
everything that could make a noise, hav-

TREE CHOPPED DOWN
White House Elm Planted by Andrew
Jackson-tTad's'' Bad
Fall

A big elm tree that President An
drew jackson planted with his own
hands about seventy years ago, was cut
down in the White house grounds re-
Gently. Two weeks ago the attendants
noticed that the tree was losing dts
foliage rapidly and a week later every
leaf had fallen from it. Experts pro-
nounced the tree to be dying, and it
was determined that it should be re-
moved.
Besides having been planted by Jack
son. this tree had another interesting
story connected with it's history. AT
the outbreak of the civil war. just after
President Lincoln had taken his seat.
the chief magistrates little son Tad"
took a liking to that tree and almost
daily climbed it. One morning the pres,-
dent caught him up in It's branches, ana
warned him that shining to such d
height was dangerous and that he should
quit it. Tad" promised, but the next
day he was taken to the White house
with cut head and very much
bruised arm having disobeyed his father
and fallen from the tree.
The story reached the ears OF the
president. and without saying word
he is said to have possessed himself of
a sample of that elm, and they do say
that the smothered cries that issued from
little "Tad's" room told that something
was doing in that vicinity.

the PRESIDENT DEAD.

At $40 o'clock this afternoon President
Mckinley breathed his last. At an early
hour this morning he began sinking, and
bulletins though hopeful in tone, told
that the end was near and could not be
aong delayed by the best medical skill.
All day long the people lowered between
hope and despair. and We're not wholly
unprepared when the news of his death
was flashed over the wires. The nation
mourns. A good man, wise ruler, a
patriot and a statesman is lost to the
world.

UNFAIR n0WlS0N.

1t did not take Admiral Dewey and
Rear Admiral Benhan long to pass
upon the qualifications Of Rear Admiral
Howison as member of the Schley
court of inquiry. When Rear Admiral
Howison was excused from further at
tendance he naturally felt chagrined,
but he must have expect something Of
the kind if he be actuated at all by the
spirit OF fairness. From interviews
emitted by Rear Admiral Howison since
the unfortunate Schley-Sampson con-
troversy began, interviews which have
not been strenuously denied it became
apparent that he was piased in Samp-
sons favor. Shortly after Howison's
appointment Schley wrote a letter to
Secretary Long, protesting against it.
This letter was answered by Assistant
Secretary Hackett, who took the view
that the court itself was the judge of
the qualification of it's own members.
This view was correct and the outcome
has shown that the court will distribute
fair and impartial justice. Another
member must be appointed, and upon
Ike Neutrality-suspicious. OI tudl <Au-
nlrals Dewey and Benham will pass.
An unprecedented court will be secured,
even if more reflections follow. Admiral
Howison made a mistake in refusing to
resign as soon as his fairness was ques-
toned. He seemed overly anxious to be
one of the judges. He may have be-
leved himself capable of giving Ad
miral Schley fair hearing. Admiral
Schley would not have been true to
himself and to his friends had he not
challenged Admiral Howison's fitness.
The challenge was heard and promptly
acted upon. Admiral Howison has no
one to blame but himself for the posi-
ton he now occupies-a discredited and
unfair man; he may not be unfair; al
though a friend of Admiral Sampson
and prejudiced in his favor, evidence
may be introduced as the inquiry pro-
oeeds which will cause him to change
his opinion, to lean towards Admiral
Schley and from Admiral Sampson. If
such thing should occur Admiral
Howisyn may rehabilitate himself in
the eyes Of the people by giving OUT
another interview acknowledging his
mistake. 1t is not probable, however,
that he will do anything of the kind.
