THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

The shooting Of President Nc
Kinley on last Friday in Music Hall
at the Buffalo Exposition by all an
archist of the name of CzlogosZ, car
ried with it shock to the entire coun-
try. and we may say world, seldom
euualed. Mr.. Mckinley is the third
president of the United States to be-
come the target of an assassin 6
bullet, Mr.. Lincoln being the
first, and Mr.. Garfield the second. In
both of the former instances the con-
ditions were different, Mr.. Lincoln
was killed Just as terrible and bloody
war was closing. when there was much
to infiame a diseased and distorted
brain. Mr.. Garfield had just thrown
bis party into panic which seemed
likely to rend it to atoms. Two SEN
ators from New York had resigned
and the party political heavens were
dark and lowering.
But on the day of the shooting
of Mr.. Mckinley there was nothing
save a labor strike not chargeable to
him, and a little war in our far western
col onies, the effect of which is scarcely
felt here, to mar the placid movement
of this benignant government. In SO
vast a domain as ours there could
scarcely have been less to disturb
the people. 1t may therefore
be said that the nation was
on that day enjoying state OF hap
piness equal to any in our national
existence. Under these conditions that
a man whose whole nature tended to
friendship, instead of enmity, who held
the high personal regard of nearly
every citizen of the United States, no
matter how much he differed from
him in political opinion, should have
been set upon by an enemy to society
and nearly killed, has awakened an
Indignation which few other events
co uld have awakened, but when this
offence has been committed upon one
of the most beloved citizens of our
country, and at the same time upon
the President, there is no bound to the
feeling it has engendered, and well
may 80 conservative man as Senator
Platt, of New York, say: eff there
was ever justification in lynching this
would be an occasion for it,
1t can be safely said that no man in
recent years has held the presidential
Office who commanded more of the
respect of all the people nor one in
W HON they had deeper personal in
terest, or whose death would be more
deeply and sincerely mourned. A man
of the people, he was never above
them, a lover of his country, he
SO ught to dignity and uplift 1t, an
enemy of no sect or calling, an oppres-
sor of no man nor set of men, so that
all of the pretended excuses which
have heretofore been given for the
striking down of rulers are groundless
b ere, and the deed is shorn of every
vestige of sympathy, and is left to
stand in its horrid nakedness the
GROWING crime of the twentieth
century.

The President Shot.

On Friday last the 9th instant about
4 p. m. President Mckinley whilst
holding public reception in Music
Hall in the grounds of the Buffalo
exposition was shot by an anarchist
named Louis p Cozlgozs, two bullets
entering the body; one striking the
breast bone and glaneing the other
passing directly through the stomach
and lodging in the muscles of the
back. The assassin had concealed a
32-caliber pistol in a handkerchief in
his hand and just as he was about to
shake hands with the president fired
with the above result.
The president turned and was
caught by an officer. There were
marines on guard and these immedi-
ately threw the man down and dis
armed him. Surgeons were summon
ed at once and the president was car
r1ed in a short time to the home of
Mr.. Milburn, who is the president of
g Exposition, there he has remain
ed ever since. The ball n the breast
bone was extracted at once but the
one which perforated the stomach has
not yet been located, 1t was decided
at once to operate On the president
and everything was made ready, an
opening five inches in length was
made and the stomach reached and
the aperture in the front wall of the
stomach Immediately sutured; the one
in the rear wall was not SO easily
reached, but it was after time found
and also sewed up. This opening
was much larger than the one in
front, and was a more difficult opera
ton. None of the contents of the
stomach had gotten into the cavity OF
the body and it was not long before the
condition of the patient began to i'm
prove and at the time of going to press
he is on the road to recovery.
The prisoner was found to be Pole
who had been reading infaming liter
allure and listening to speeches of an.
archists.
Emma Goldman, who was arrested
in Chicago on Tuesday last he says
caused him to become an anarchist
by her speeches.
The shooting Of the president was
most unlocked for. There was OBJ
solutely nothing to put him on bis
guard, and it was not known that the
anarchists were at all aggressive at
that time.
The occurance caused untold
CONSERVATION and sent shock
throughout all sections.
The day before had been President IS
day at Buffalo and large crowds were
in attendance. In the morning the
president had been to Niagara, and so
many desired to shake hands with
him that it was decided to hold re-
ception that afternoon.

1t will be recalled that when Hum
bert, King of Italy, was assas-
sinated, the perpetrator went from
this county directly there to commit
the deed. Italy informed us of the fact
and begged us to take some steps to
exterminate this band and breed of
anarchists, But we sat supinely down
and would not so much as give the
request serious consideration. Our
reward has come swiftly and terribly.

STATUTE AND COMMON LAW
OFFENCES.

Some confusion has been caused in
Virginia by there being Two kinds OF
offences which may be committed. One
is an offence at common law, and one
is an offence against the statute law.
This is clearly wrong, all offences
should be defined by statute, and our
new constitution should provide that
no person should be tried for any
offense which the statutes of the State
do not define This is done IN many
or indeed most of the States and is
very wholesome and proper feature.
These dual laws capable of being
broken have always struck us as Singu-
lar in our form of government tend
ing to uncertainty and possibly to
abuse
We are reminded in this connection
of the negro justice who had party
brought before him for numerically
and injuriously beating his neighbor's
COW. The justice looked the law over
with great care, and much labor, but
he could find no provision In the code
where there was statute against beat.
ing a COW, SO after grave deliberation
he said that the LAW did not seem to
provide punishment for that offense,
but he would fling it into chancery and
fine the accused S25. When our statutes
provide no punishment for an offense
our courts fling it into the common
law, and do about what they please
with the prisoner.
