THE ASSASSINATION.

The world is not growing better, or if
it is, individuals are not. The shoot
ing of President Mckinley last Friday,
is repetition of the Lincoln and Gar
field assassinations, and the nation is
again bowed in sorrow, sympathy and
disgrace. The assassin is an element in
society that will probably never be elm
enated and yet his eIimenation is pos
sibility. In this case the assassin Is a
foreignea, thorough anarchist and nj
hilist in the real and full sense. For
years our immigration laws have been
too lax, the trusts have brought lnferi-
or foreign semi people into
competition with American labor and
our country today is afflicted with a
low-bred class of people whose in
stincts are degrading and whose meth
DDS are on a level with the lower ami
NAL creation. No sooner was the news
of the Presidents assassination spread
over the wires than these wretched
nihilists held ratification meetings and
police interference became necessary
Such an element is dangerous and
should be barred from landing on
American shores.
TIE Buffalo tragedy is not the only
instance to show that lawlessness and
barbarIsm are on the increase. It has
reached place where man attending
any large gathering in anv large city
puts his life IN jeopardy. The land lot
terry at Ell Reno is an example. People
were slaughtered and the officers of the
law were seemingly unconcerned about
it. Conditions like these must cease to
exist if the people would be safe.
Whether the President survives or
not, land prayer for his recovery is
on the lips of every American regard
less of politics), the shooting is blot
on the nation which will never be eras-
ed. His invalid wife is undergoing a
very trying ordeal and the hearts of the
American people go out to her in SYM
pathy.

torney need not be governed
