ALTHOUGH the surgeons came In for
more or less thoughtless criticism as
the result Of the sudden unfavorable
change in the condition Of President
Mckinley, especially because Of the en-
couraging reports they had given out
previously, there Is a certain melan-
cholly satisfaction in the now plain
fact that nothing the surgeons might
have done could have changed the re-
suit. It is true that the surgeons had
overlooked the fact that the kidneys
and other organs had been injured by
the assassin's bullet, and on account
Of this fact, they suffer appreciably
in the confidence that would have 9TH
erwise been theirs; but still there is
no ground for the claim that was made
in the case of Garfield to the effect that
1.-The doctors killed him." There is not
a great deal of room anywhere in the
whole sad record for the heaping of un-
kind criticism where such criticism is
not deserved.

Goldmans are evidences Of disease that
continues to be manifested in Czol-
goszes, and consider the question as we
may, every individual citizen Is con-
fronted with the issue as to whether he
prefers anarchy and chaos to govern
ment and order. Those who would
shirk their duty in thought or deed may
very properly be classed on the side of
anarchy, while those who have prop
er respect for government for other
than selfish reasons, will continue to
be distinguished in the future as in the
past by reason of their practical sym
pathy for poverty and misery and their
freedom from envy or hostile bitterness
toward the rich.

IF the people who egged on the
Schley court Of inquiry are not now
thoroughly ashamed Of their part in
the affair, they certainly ought to be.
There was no need for that court. The
public had all the facts in the case that
it wanted within forty-eight hours af-
ter the battle, and no court verdict is
likely to change the opinion that has
already been formed. The idea, how
ever, that a man like Schley must go
through such an investigation for hav-
ing done his duty, is positively humili-
ating to the whole people.

The oath Of office was administered
in the Wilcox parlor by John r. Ha-
eel, Judge Of the United States district
court, Mr.. Roosevelt repeating the
words after the judge and concluding
with, "And thus 7 swear"
Before the ceremony was commenced,
Mr.. Roosevelt said, in the presence Of
the assembled gentlemen, addressing
Secretary Root: :;
II shall take the oath Of office at once
in accordance with your request, and
in this hour Of deep and terrible ma
tional bereavement, I wish to state
that it shall be my aim to continue alb
solutely unbroken, the policy Of Pres
ident Mckinley for the peace. pros
perity and honor Of our beloved coun-
try"
After taking the oath, the president
had a meeting with the members Of the
cabinet present, and subsequently an
nounced "Following out the brief
statement I made when taking the oath
that I would follow the administrative
lines laid down by President Mckinley,
I requested the members of the cabi-
net who were present to remain in their
positions at least for the present. They
have assured me that they will, and
may say that I have assurances also
from the absent members"
A few minutes later, President Roose-
welt started for short walk with Sec
retary Root, and couple Of police
men and couple of detectives, in citi-
zens' clothes, started to follow. The
president sent them back with the ex-

President Roosevelt.

Although much has been said about
what kind Of man Theodore Roose-
velt has and has not been, and what
kind Of a president he will or will not
make, it is q very good idea here and
now to call attention to the fact that
by far the greater part of all this stuff
is mere political claptrap, designed
not so much to arrive at and propagate
the truth, as to form opinions for peo-
pie who are unable to form opinions
for themselves.
Never in the history Of the country,
perhaps, was there a more bitter po-
litical campaign than that Of 1896, and
never did opposing candidates suffer
such fierce denunciation and abuse at
the hands of the extreme partizans Of
the opposite parties. Mr.. Bryan was
held out by the opponents Of free silver
as the rabid representative Of a most
pernicious form Of socialism and COM
mercial dishonor, while the free silver
people were taught to look upon, and
did look upon, Mr.. Mckinley only as
weak but not unwilling puppet in the
hands Of the money power, and tool
in the hands Of the money power and
Of grinding monopolists.
That these two men did represent
different schools Of thought there Is no
question, and neither is there any
ground for disputing the fact that their
avowed policies were widely different;
but it does not now require any great
stretch of charity to admit that both
were striving by different roads to ex.
actly the same end-the peace, happi-
ness and prosperity Of the people Of
the United States and the general ele-
vation. of all mankind. The high patr'-
otism of Mr.. Mckinley, sustained by
the majority Of the American people,
has produced almost the same result
that would have been produced through
the election Of Mr.. Bryan under the
same circumstances.
Most Of US who had been led to be-
lieve that Mr.. Mckinley was a char
acterless scoundrel had seen our er-
ror long before this great man was
cut down by the bullet of his assassin,
and the balance of us, who were open
to conviction, have dropped our few
remaining doubts as the result of the
developments Of the past ten days.
AS to whether Mr.. Roosevelt will
prove as great, as able, and as patriot
ic as Mr.. Mckinley, we are, Of course,
unable to say. His past record is good,
and that he is a man Of high purposes
there is no reason to doubt. He is lack
ing in years and experience; but he is
not a stranger to responsibility, and
there Is good reason to believe that he
thinks much more Of his country than
he does of himself. If he has ever done
anything to forfeit public confidence,
we are not aware of it, and until he
does offend in this particular we think
the people Of the south can very we'll
afford to at least forego all manner Of
unfounded criticism such as was for
merly meted out to President McKin-
ley.

THERE is considerable interest in the
probable effect that the recent con-
gressional primary will have on Judge
Buchanan's candidacy for reelection
as circuit judge. In the congression-
al race, Judge Buchanan failed to get
even a plurality in a single county.
His best vote was 277 in Sumter coun-
ty, the county Of his adoption, and he
was beaten here by Smith, who received
621 votes and who was the next hind
most man in the race.

The rain last Thursday, as we'll as
that Of Monday afternoon, did much
damage to hay that had been cut and
which was in process Of curing. One
man reports that he lost eight four
horse loads as the result Of Thursdays
rain. and it is quite probable that many
others were as unfortunate.

president gathered together some per-
sonal friends in Buffalo and those

has been understood as Mr.. Mckinley s
polic@ The policy, as outlined to his
friends at yesterdays conference, will
be for a more liberal and extensive re-
ciprocity in the purchase and sale OF
commodities, so that the overproduc-
tjpn Of this country can be satisfactori-
ly disposed Of by fair and equitable ar
rangements with foreign countries.
The abolition entirely Of commercial
war with other countries and the adop-
tion Of reciprocity treaties.
The abolition of such tariffs on for
eign goods as are no longer needed for
revenue, If such abolition can be had
without harm to our industries and la
Dor.
Direct commercial lines should be es-
tablished between the eastern coast OF
the United States and the ports In
South America and the Pacific coast
ports of Mexico, Central America and
South America.
The encouraging of the merchant
marine and the building of ships which
will carry the American flag and be
owned and controlled by Americans
and American capital.
The building and completion, as soon
as possible, of the Isthmian canal, so
as to give direct water communication
with the coasts Of Central America,
South America and Mexico.
The construction of a cable, owned

notably Hawaii and the Philippines.
The use of conciliatory methods of
arbitration in all disputes with foreign

of the president, the conspiracy charge
against the anarchists becomes much
more serious. While the president
lived, the charge against them was a
misdemeanor; but now that he Is dead,
under the laws Of Illinois, If it can be
shown that they conspired to produce
his death and aided and abetted the
murder, they are equally guilty with

NOTHING that President Roosevelt

country than his declaration Of his in

the policy that had been formulated
by the late President Mckinley. The

court yesterday we have heard with
deep regret that the president is dead.
Upon a conference Of counsel this
