Last Public Words.

President Mckinley, on September D,
| the day before he was shot, delivered
before the Pan-American Exposition, at
Buffalo, his last speech. 1t was an ad-
dress as broad and great as the occasion
required, and will now be read and
studied all the more by our people. The
following are his closing words, which
it will be seen are prayer not only for
the peace and prosperity of our own
country, but for that of ''all our neigh
bors, and like blessings to all the peo-
pies and powers of the earth.
Gentlemen, let US ever remember
that our interest is in concord, not con-
fiict; AMI that our real eminence rests in
the victories of peace, not those of war.
We hope that all who are represented
here may be moved to higher and
nobler effort for their own and the
worlds good, and that cut of this city
may come not only greater commerce
and trade for us all, but, more essential
than these, relations of mutual respect,
confidence, and friendship which will
deepen and endure. Our earnest prayer
is that God will graciously vouchsafe
prosperity, happiness and peace to all
our neighbors and like blessings to all
the peoples and powers of earth.

yer and threatened to shoot They left
the livery and went to the Horseman's s
livery, where they tried to engage
another rig
Refusal led to row. Officers at
tempted arrest, but were met with a
display of revolvers. Citizens joined in,
and after an exciting quarter hour

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
THE NATIONS TRIBUTE.

In all the history of the country there
was never such an exhibition of univers-
al mourning for public man as that
which made the day of President Nc
Kinley's funeral memorable. The most
impressive feature of the day was not
the funeral at Canton. profoundly touch
ing as that must have been; it was not
the formal public meetings, imposing as
they were; it was rather the unpremed-
itated gathering of the people every
where in their churches, in a spirit OF
reverent devotion, and the nearly com
plete cessation of all worldly pursuits,
which was not the result of proclama-
ton or ordinance but was wholly
spontaneous expression of true senti-
ment.
No public occasion can be recalled
when the abstention from business was
so universal Men who habitually dis
regard or eyade the laws for the OBJ
seryance of Sunday, closed their shops
without any command or invitation to
do SO, as though moved by a common
impulse of sorrow and sympathy. 1t
was not mere holiday; it was day of
universal mourning
Business and industry were suspend
ed in Butler last Thursday afternoon
while the funeral services were being
conducted at Canton. and our churches
were filled with people assembled to-
gether for public prayer. The largest
gathering was in the First Presbyterian
at 8 p. m.
Revs. Oller, Prugh, Mckee, Worrell,
Barlow, Entarline and White occupied
the pulpit, and addresses were made by
Thos. Robinson, J. ID. McJunkin, and
James NJ Galbreath.
In the First Eng. Lutheran Rev. T.
B. Roth delivered a brief and pointed
sermon at p. m.
In the morning at eleven o'clock
prayer services were held in the Epis-
copal church.
AT 9 a. m. in the High School chapel
the pupils Of that school and 9th grade
assembled. Sect'y Cory Of the Y. M.
c. A. read the 112th Psalm and J. M.
Galbreath, Esq, made an address which
his young hearers will remember for
many days. He dwelt on the character
istics of President Mckinley and his
inspiring motives.

CZOlgOsZ's Trial.

AT Buffalo, Monday, a jury was en-
paneled and Leon f. Czolgosz was
placed on trial for the murder of Presi-
dent Mckinley. .Czolgosz promptly
plead guilty" but his plea was reject
ed, the law of the state not allowing it,
and his trial was proceeded with as
though the plea of mot guilt" had
been made; and the autopsy was de-
scribed by the operating surgeons.
The defendant offered no evidence
Judge Lewis made no plea for the as
sassin but suggested insanity; the case
went to the jury at 3:51 p. m. of Tues
day, and "a minutes after the jury re
turned verdict of murder in the first
degree. The prisoner was remanded
to Jail.
He will be sentenced today.

.'GoD and man have linked the ma
tions together. No nation can longer
be Indifferent to any other. Thus spoke
President Mckinley at Buffalo the day
before the tragic attack on his life, and
astriking and impressive exempliication
of the truth of his words is found in the
spontaneous outburst of respectful feel
ing that the calamity of which he was
the victim has evoked in all parts of the
civilized world. 1t is marvellous, as he
reminded us, how modern invention has
brought the nations together, SO that
news encircles the globe in few min
utes, how swift steamships and locomo-
tives permit us to travel from one coun-
try to another and from hemisphere to
hemisphere, how science and education
give US common interest and under
standing, how the products of industry
may be transported thousands and
thousands Of miles to market. The rews
Of the great disaster which overlook
President Mckinley and the American
nation when he was Istricken down by
the Anarchist was flashed around the
world, bringing horror to untold mil
lions of men, whose sympathy has been
poured out during the past fortnight in
an unceasing stream.
God and man have linked the ma
tions together" not only in mechanical
sense, but spiritually and intellectually.
Having learned to know each other
better they have found common
ground for sympathy. They under
stand the meaning of atfiiction, and a
great catastrophe like this makes all the
peoples under the sun into one family

Moral Tone OF The Public.


A discussion Of .'The Ills Of Pennsyl-
vania, by brilliant Pennsylvania, :"
is feature of the October Atlantic
Monthly. A perusal of advance sheets
of the article gives the impression that
the brilliant Pennsylvania is well
informed concerning the political ills
from which this great Commonwealth
suffers, but that he does not go as deep
ly into a diagnosis of the case as be
might. His general conclusion is that
corrupt public sentiment underlies all
the political corruption which astonishes
residents of other States. He supports
it with some significant details of how
business men, clergymen and farmers
are bought to do the will of the machine
1t need not be denied that the writer's
details are truthful. Everyone who
knows much of Pennsylvania politics
might duplicate the incidents mention
ed out of his personal knowledge or ex-
perience. But it does not follow ttat
the whole people of Pennsylvania are
more corrupt than those of other States.
He who has intimate knowledge of the
politics of New York, New Jersey, West
Virginia and Ohio may also cite in
stances of the buying Of votes in the
rural regions. the securing Of political
endorsements from men of high stand
ing through the voting of appropria
tions and the obtaining of large funds
for political purposes and voting orders
for employees as return for the grant
of franchises Those things are not
peculiar to Pennsylvania, nor are they
condoned by the ordinary citizens of
this State
The sentiment.of the common people
of Pennsylvania is as honest as that of
other States. The difference is that the
Pennsylvania sense of injury from the
things mentioned is less acute-has be-
come blnnted by frequent contact with
the evil. The mass of people in this
State are prosperous in spite of their
many political wrongs and are there
fore more tolerant of impositions than
if such impositions made them feel the
sting of poverty. That is the difference
in the public. The other difference is in
the management of the machine. For
fifty years or so it has been marked by
unscrupulous ability of an unusual
order. The brilliant Pennsylyanian'
who writes the political ills of his State
is no more brilliant than those who are
primarily responsible for the trouble,
though he seems TO have even less hope
of public awakening than the politica-
bosses have fear of such result. Dis
patch.

In 1886 law of Congress was passed
regulating the Presidential succession.
Formerly, in case Of the death of the
President the Office passed to the Vice
President, and from him to the Speaker
of the House of Representative, where
the succession ended. Now the Presi-
Dental Office passes from the Vice Presi-
dent to the Cabinet, in the following
order: Secretary of State, Secretar, of
the Treasury, Secretary of War, At
torney General, Postmaster General,
Secretary of the Navy. and Seer etary
of the Interior As there was no such
office as Secretary of Agriculture at the
time of the passage of this act, he was
not included in the succession. With
the death of the President the Office Of
Vice President falls into allegiance until
the next election. The President pro
tempore of the Senate becomes it's per-
manent presiding officer, but is not in
the line of Presidential succes sion.
Senator William P. Frye, of Maine, is
the President of the Senate.
