Approve Presidents Attitude.
We cordially approve the attitude of

Tribute to Mckinley.
The great statesman and patriotic Amer
lean, William Mckinley, who was re-elect-
| ed by the Republican party to the presi-
| dency four years ago, WAS assassinated Just
| ut the threshold Of his second term. The
entire natiun mourned his untimely death
and did that justice to his great qualities Of
mind and character which history will con-
hrm and repeat.
The American people were fortunate in
his successor. to whom they Irned with a
| trust and confidence which have been fully
Justified. President Roosevelt brought to
the great responsibilities thus sadly forced
| upon him clear head. a brave heart, al
| earnest patriotism and high ideals of pub
| lie duty aud public service. True to the
principles Of the Republican party and to
the policies which that party had declared,
he has also shown himself ready for every
emergency and mas met NV and vital ques-
lions with ability and with success
The confidence OF the people In his jus
| tice. inspired by his public career, enabled
him to render personally an inestimable
service TO the country by bringing about q
settlement Of the coal strike, which threat
ened such disastrous results at the opening
of winter IN 1892.

tion has not only been able, vigorous and
diguined but In the highest degree sue
| e.essful The complicated questions which
| arose In Venezuela were settled IN such q
| way by President Roosevelt that the Mon
! roe doctrine was signaily indicated anG
the cause of peace aud arbitration greatly
= | advanced.
His prompt and vigorous action in Pan
| anna, which we commend In the highes
| terms not only secured to Us he cana
| route but avoided foreign complication
which might have been OF a very seriou
? character.
He has continued the policy Of Presiden
Mckinley In the orient, and our position
} In China, signalized by our recent CONNER
