THE MKIYLEY MONUMENT.

A number of monuments have been erected
10 President Mckinley within the last year or
two in various states. and the one dedicated
ut Buffalo yesterday is much more than
mere commemoration of his lamentable death
in that city. His memory is held in honor
everywhere throughout the country, and it was
under the impulse of this common sentiment
that the erection of the New York State monu-
ment was planned. In intellect and personal
force Mckinley may not rank with the great
est of our Presidents, but he had 10 an e1-
traordinary degree those qualities OF heart that
endear a private man to his associates and
establish public man permanently in the
affections of the people. He was one OF the
most Iovabie of men. AS Governor Hughes
feeliuglc said in his address: Fidelity to
'friendshIp. the exquisite grace Of husband 5
devotion. the honor of manhood. the beauty OF
the forbearance of unweared patience, en-
-deared William Mckinley 10 the hearts of his
fellow citizens and in their memory eclipse
the glories of an administration fattering to
American pride" The late President touched
the national heart rather by what he was than
by what he did and there is no room for partisan
ship there Men may quarrel over Presidents
acts or his policies, but the people rarely make
a mistake or disagree about his quality as
man. and in their regard for Mckinley as
man political friend and foe are at one.
In war, in Congress. as the chief executive or
his own state and finally as head Of the ma
ton Mckinley devoted practically his whole
life TO the public service and his name is asso-
ciated with many of the most memorable events
in our history. As President ii was his good
fortune TO lead the nation in period OF great
CONNIE ,cial. industrial and territorial growth
The war which his administration conducted
was a war in the cause Of humanity. The
most striking proof of his breadth and fore
sight as a statesman IS the fact that though
always associated with high tariff policy.
he was one of the first OF his party's leaders
to point to moderation as the programme Of the
future.
Governor Hughes suggests that the vitality
of a democracy may be measured by its erec-

appreciation of honorable motive and public

much pertinent suggestion Mr.. Fowler has for
many years been associated with national rather
than with state politics, but he is an excellent
representative of the best elements Of the Re-

national politics of New Jersey, and he IS, more

AN HONORABLE CAREER.

Record has been made of the death Of Ed
ward Yates, of London, and there mas been
some comment upon the fact that while ne
hogan business as q Journeyman bricklayer he
became and was for many years very rich. and
died worth about S5,0OO.OO0. His career was
sufficiently interesting to warrant attention as
an illustration of the possibility Of poor mans
becoming rich in country which is unthink-
inclv supposed to afford few if any such Oppor-
tunities and also as a demonstration of the
possibility of acquiring a fortune without re-
sort TO speculation any Of the devices OF high
finance But there are two other points In his
career which are more novel than these and
which are worthy Of particular attention.
One is that Mr.. Yates always distin-
o,ushed BY the thOroughness and substantial
quality of his work. AS a bricklayer working
for daily wages he was marked among his fell
lows as the most careful and trustworthy work
man When he began building houses on his
own account he maintained the same practice.
There was no Buddensek work, no jerry
building in them. He built them TO rent to ten
ants and to make money out OF, but he built
every one Of them carefully and substan-
TALLY rs though 1t were for his own personal
occupancy and he wanted it to last a lifetime
without repairs. "Yatess houses" became pro-
verbal in Walworth and Nunham as houses
which were a,ways well built and always in
be made his great fortune out Of them
The other point is that he built nothing but
individual houses. He never put up a single
tenement. fat apartment house. The
temptation to do so strong Others were
doing 1t all around him, and IL supposed
10 be far more profitable TO do so than to build
houses But he was steadfast in his belief that
IL was better for families TO have each a home
of it's own than to he assigned TO cells In
vast hive, and that moreover. people would
prefer houses to flats If they could get them.
To that supposed preference he consistently ca
tered. with unsurpassed success. 1t has been
crediblv stated that his well built houses proved
actually profitable than the cheapy built
fats which his competitors erected
His operations were upon a sufficiently extern
sive scale and continued through a sufficient
time TO demonstrate these general principles.
He engaged in the building trade forty-flve
years. In that time he built probably upward
of -four thousand houses. and he retained the
ownership Of them 10 the end. He was able,
despite the thoroughness of their construction,
TO let these houses at from 500 TO $500 year.
His receipts amounted to $4,000 q year. He

norated into law. It is safe TO assume that no
marty in the state would dare to go before the
people with open denial of any of them
We venture 70 add that the Republican party
could not well afford to go before the people
without Il definite and direct affirmation or

enforcement so explicit as TO be convincing
The great trouble has BEEN elsewhere as well
as IN New Jersey. that while not opposing good

them or if they have affirmed them, they nave
done so in theory only. To paraphrase the OLD

against their enforcement But point has been
reached in American political development
where that will no longer do. The party must
commit itself TO the causes which sober and de-
Hberate public opinion approves with definite

people that it is sincere and that if 1t IS
