MIR. T. F. O'CONNoR's TuInUTE.
The Career of Mir. Mckinley Typical
 of fAmericanism at It's Best

London, Sept 17.-In to-morrow's issue of NJ. A. r. (Mainly About Peo- ple), weekly society paper, T. F. O'Connor will publish some of the most interesting of his recollections of his meetings with the late Presi- dent Mckinley at Washington. Mir. O'Connor pays eloquent tribute to the character, abilities and simplicity of the dead president, concluding as fol-
 The career of Mir. Mckinley was typically American. It is, indeed, Americanism at its best. Even the murmured words of the church hymn which were among the last things ut tered by the dying lips-even that is typically American, too. Amid all the riot, blare and deafening noise of country bursting with the abound ing vitality and defiant strength of it's gigantic youth, America is in it's foundation a country of tranquil, so- Der, God-fearing homes. Every indi- yidual American mourns; in simple William Mckinley, the sweetness. wholesomeness and faithful affection and enduring fidelity of the typical American eitiZen-the true American man and husband, the true American wife, and the typical American home."

AS VIEWED FROM ABROAD.
The Time Opportune for the United States to Throw Off the
 Incubus of Legalism.
so SAYS A PROMINENT ENGLISH JUDGE.
The Main Object of American Courts. He intimntcs, Is to Seek to Defeat the Intent of Law and Thwart the Purposes for Which Courts arc Created.

New York, Sept. 1S.-After discus sion of the Buffalo tragedy, public opinion in England asks the question whether America will tolerate an- other Guteau scandal when Presi- dent Mckinley's murderer is brought up for trial, says the London corre- spondent of the Herald
 Lynch law as applied to this wretched crew was never so nearly popular in England, all classes agree ing that short shrift is the only fit- ting justice.
 An English Judges Opinion.
 From one of his maiestys judges your correspondent is able to give the substance of the highest legal opinion here as to what the Buffalo courts ought 10 do.
 This ought to give America the chance to shake off the incubus of too much legalism,' said the judge, "and by legalism l mean straining the law to defeat it's own purpose.
 Practice of American Courts.
 Tn criminal trials it seems to be the main object of the American courts to discover a jury who will liberate the prisoner, not carry out the law.
 Absurd questions are asked wheth- CT the veniremen or jurymen have read about the case; whether such reading has led to the formation of opinion on the merits of the case so as to prejudice the verdict, whether they are acquainted with the prisoner or victim.
 straining for LoophoIes.
 ''This absurd straining for loop holes, which the courts appear to en- courage, is in my opinion the first step toward anarchy.
 Tn this connection it is reported that famous criminal lawyer of New York, who left London on sudden call on Saturday, has been summoned to Buffalo to defend Czolgosz. This does not indicate that the murderer is absolutely friendless, but, on the contrary, that he is merely the tool of an organization with funds behind It."
