The officials at Washington are not in
clined to jump hastily at the conclusion
that the obstruction OF traffic by govern

ready to believe that the act was for the
purpose of ascertaining If any revolutions

that at the meeting of Commanders Nc

the act Of the government troops It is
understood that the State Department

APPEALS TO PEOPL {
Virginia Expected TO Give suita-
Bile Sum to Mckinley
Elemlr.ai.
tsnec;,l Disnstch TO The Times

Especial Dispatc tch to The Times.)
LYNCHBURG, VA, Sept. Ex-senator
john w. Daniel to-day gave out the fol-
lowing appeal 10 the people OF Virginia:
Lynchburg. Va, Sept. 49, 1902.
To the People of Virginia:
l have been advised by Frederick S.
Hartzell, assistant secretary OF the Nc
kinley National Memorial Association OF
Canton. Ohio. that the people Of Virgins;
have subscribed but three hundred dol
lars to the fund for the Mckinley Elonu
1nent, whereas at least twenty-five hun
dred dollars was anticipated as a proper
and moderate contribution from them !
have also been asked by him to call at
tention TO the matter
Twenty-Five dollars from each county
in the State would cover the appropriate
amount. and it ought to be forthcoming.
In this State the resources OF our peo-
pie have been heavily taxed to meet the
just demands of memorial tributes to
the many fallen heroes of the great trag-
edy which dyed the State with blood. A
happier period has succeeded. We are
again a co-equal State Of the mighty re-
public. Under Mckinley as President and
commander-in-c chief, our sons went forth
TO battle. He lifted his country high
above his party in that strife. He put
the generals insignia. on those who had
worn the Confederate gray. He preached
and practiced reconciliation. He said no
word that rankles in any mans heart.
He proved himself patriot, and he con-
i,lred all men Of whatever antecedents
to love OF country by generous speech
and by magnanimous example. In short
he was good man and he died with the
respect of good men and good women;
and mad.st their tears
We should not ignore the opportunity
to do his memory honor. Be it little or
much that you can give, it Is right that
you should give according to your store
have no official authority in the prem
ises. and venture to say this much be-
cause such matters are too often neg
lected from the indisposition to step for
ward.
Any contribution may be sent to Fred
erick S. Hartzell, Esq, Canton. Ohio. or
If sent to me will be promptly forwarded
and acknowledged. Do not hesitate be-
cause you can only spare a dollar, or a
half dollar. The widows mite was
blessed. So will be yours Let who can
give something We owe it to Mckinley
We owe it to ourselves. men and women
Very respectfully yonr fellow citizen.
