THE PRESIDENT is DEAD.

The d cath of President VIM. McKin
ley which took place about 2 O'Clock
in the morning of last Saturday was
not unlocked for. 1t is true that
fattering reports of his speedy re.
covery had gone abroad, but those who
scanned closely the bulletins saw
much to fear The pulse was too
high, it would not go down, the
wound, desperate one was though one
of the organs of the body which nee
essarily caused the deepest apprehen-
sion. Just, however, as hope began
to illumine many faces a change came,
turn for the worse, and from that
m oment no hope was entertained of
his recovery. His death came quick
ly, but his suffering was as mild as
under like circumstances it was posi-
BILE for 1t to be. His wife, his brother
m embers of his cabinet and Secretary
and his physicians were about his
bedside. The crime which has caused
his death is one which we have no
vocabulary to describe. 1t was not
the act of mailman, nor man of not
ably weak mind, but the elimination
of deep laid plat. 1t is not a new
cri me but its depravity is beyond the
bounds of ordinary human reason and
human characterization and the
or eature who perpetrated it if he were
in China, as uncivilized as that coun-
try may seem, would be subjected to a
p enalty which would 60 far toward
d eterring others from the commits
sion OF a similar offense, in fact the
perpetrator and his entire offspring
would be exterminated.
1t is well known that many of us
differed with Mr.. Mckinley in his
political tenets, but in one thing we were
all agreed, and that is, that in his
private life he was as pure as the |
p urest, in his devotion to family none
went beyond him, that as a friend be
had the reputation of being tried and
true, that apart from any religious
convictions he possessed he was man
of the highest moral character and
integrity, kind, indulgent, approach
able thoughtful, gentle. To the
G christian he has given beacon light,
in that he bore no malice toward his
8 layers, and died heroically. In acts
if not in words he said, "Forgive
them for thy know not what they do. -
To those who did not share the same
religious views as himself, his life
was one of profit, and a great lesson.
May his be the last life our country
shall offer upon the altar of anarchy or
reason.

LESE-MAJESTE.

Lese Majestic, is known in monarch.
lcal countries as an effense of rather
grave nature and in Germany for in
stance it is punished by imprisonment
not less than five months nor more
than five years, and fine. 1t consists
us gally in saying something deroga-
tory to the ruling monarch. For in
stance an American travelling in
+ Europe was standing in throng

When he remarked, 81 wish the old
duffer would hurry up" He was at
once seized, and thrown into prison.

thing prohibited in the presence of
royalty and said, "Now can look at

America, however, there is no law to
punish anyone for speaking lightly or
tlppantly Of the ruling person, nor
for saying even harsh or vulgarlv
abusive things of him. But there is
a strong sense of self respect which
usually prevents well-bred people
from doing so even under strong pro.
vocation. Since Mr.. Mckinley has
been assasslnated some thoughtless
persons have used unkind and rather
offensive speech about him, which in
many instances has been rebuked oc.
casionally with much severity. The
only coarse expressions we have heard
from any prominent persons came
from Mrs. Nation and U. s. Senator
wellington, of Maryland, which

comment through the press, and will
