BY the President of the United states OF
America.
A terrible bereavement has befalen our peO-
pie, The President of the United States has been
struck down; a crime committed not only against
the Chief Magistrate, but against every law abid-
ing and liberty loving citizen.
President Mckinley crowned life of largest
love for his fellOwmen, of most earnest endeavOr
for their welfare, by death of Christian forti-
tude and both the way in which he lived his life
and the way in which, in the supreme hour of trial,
he met his death, will remain forever precious
heritage of our people.
1t is meet that we, as a nation, express our
abiding love and reverence for his life; our deep
sorrow tor his death.
Now therefore l, Theodore Roosevelt, PreSl-
dent Of the United States of America, do appoint
Thursday next September 10, the day on which
the body of the dead President will be laid in its
last earthly resting place, as day OF mourning
and prayer, throughout the United States.
| earnestly recommend all the people to assem-
fle on that day i'll Retrospective places of divine
worship, there to bow down in submission to the
will of Almighty God and to pay out of full hearts
s}leir homage of love and reverence to the great
and good President whose death has smtten the
nation with bitter grief
In witness whereof, | have hereunto set my
my hand and caused the seal of the United States
TO be affixed.

ONLY ONE FLAG.


There is room in this country for but
one flag. The Stars and Stripes cannot
float alongside the red flag of anarchy.
One or the other must 60. They can
not be coexistent-they are mutual
enemies. One advances, holding out
the blessings of Christian civilization,
bestowing blessings and benedictions
upon all. The other carries us back to
savagery, putting the tomahawk and
the torch and the assassin's bullet
at the very foundation of our most
benefcent institutions. i
Anarchy should be crushed out with
the same spirit and purpose that we
would crush an egg that contains the
embryo of scorpion. The bullets
aimed at the President have at least
taught us that, and aroused the nation
to such an extent as it has not been
aroused since the martyrdom of Gar
field. Indignation meetings have been
held, the voice of the people has been
heard, suspects have been arrested, and
will be dealt with. We trust their
punishment will be swift and summary.
1t is better, or course, that the law be
allowed to take its slow but certain
course; but if the whelp who fired the
shots at our beloved President had at
once on doing the deed been torn into
inch pieces, that no more remembrance
of him might be had among men for
ever, the act would have met the hearty
approval of the American people. We
do not approve of Lynch law or mob
violence; but like the man who thought
''there ought to be a hell for the
Swaseys," there seems to be no ade-
quate legal punishment for such an I'M
provoked and hellish attack as was
made upon the President at Buffalo.
Anarchy must be destroyed, root and
branch. Speakers and teachers on the
subject must be arrested and put be-
hind bars. Bonfires must be made of
their literature. The germs of these
reptiles must be crushed before other
reptiles are born. If present laws are
not sufficient to grapple,with these cases,
then give us new and adequate laws to
meet the occasion. The fourteenth
amendment to the constitution author
ICES Congress to deal with the individ-
ual citizen. Under that amendment
Congress should enact legislation defin-
ing anarchy as crime against the
United States, and subject to trial be-
fore the federal government This
would strike terror to the heart of the
embryo assassin. The Nation has right
to protect itself against the foes of law,
order and civilization. Anarchy must
die. There can be only one flag in this
country.

The Secretary of the U. S. Legation
at Pekin has started for home, bringing
with him a collection of Chinese OBJ

the craftsmanship of Mr.. Blaine. AS
the years 60 by the genius, the ability,
the broad grasp of public affairs of Mr..
Blaine are being universally recognized;
and his name will shine still more
resplendently as the years move on.
Mr. Blaine was elected President, and
was assassinated. But it was a politi-
cal assassination. He was counted out
in New York city, by changing six hun
dred votes. That could easily be done
in one ward, and it was done, giving to
Mr.. Cleveland the Presidency.
