McKinley's Last Public Words.

"Let us remember that our interest is in concert, not conflict, and that our real eminence rests on the victories of peace, not jj!| those of war.'

S President Roosevelt's 5 First Public Words.

N

"In this hour of deep and torribie bereavement I wish to state that it shall bo my aim to con-

IB

tinue absolutely without variance the policy of President McKinley JJ for the peace and prosperity and honor of our beloved country.",.

Indianapolis Hun: Paris, where Czar Nicholas of Russia is to appear soon, will allow no body in the windows along the streets where the Czar will pass, except such as are approved by the police. France is a republic, too. The anarchists who cry loudest for liberty do most to restrict it.

The Democrats and Populists have fused again in Nebraska. Mr. Bryan may be losing out in some sections of the country, but he is still muster of the whiskered brigade of the wind swept plains of the west.

The authorities of New York are to be congratulated on the expedition they are showing in handling the wretch, Czolgosz. The country expects the fellow to be legally executed in short order and there is no disposition on the part of the people to tolerate a repetition of the trial of Garfield's assassin.

The Journal, has never advocated mob law and does not believe, in it, but we nevertheless approve the whitecapping of a couple of Prohibition preachers in this state who indulged in remarks derogatory to the character of President McKinley. There is no law for the punishment of such minnow minded scoundrels and the people are therefore justified in making a little.

As?an earnest of his intention to follow the policy of William McKinley, President Roosevelt has urged all the members of the old cabinet to remain at their posts and most of them will do so. Mr. Roosevelt could, have done nothing just at present more calculated to win for him the aifection of the people or to restore the public confidence so rudely shaken by the awful crime of anarchy.

Up near Goshen on Sunday, a Prohibition preacher set up his opinion against that of tne best surgeons in the country, and violently declared that

President McKinley did not die of the assassin's bullet, but from the use of tobacco. Is it to be wondered at that the Prohibition party has never risen above an amusing insignificance when it is considered that it is generated by such narrow and malicious freaks as the preacher from Goshen1'

The News-lievitw, not content with misrepresenting the management of county affairs, maliciously and wildly slanders the city government, stating that the council has borrowed $2:1,000. This statement is wholly false and ridiculously absurd. Why it should be made wderi it can be so easily refuted, is past linding out. The present city council during the three years it has ^served has not issued a single bond, although it has paid off several, and some months ago refunded some six per cent, bonds for bonds bearing only four per cent. The only bonds now out are $3",000 in electric light bonds, $15,000 in general fund bonds issued in: 3895, and 810,000 in school bonds issued several years ago. The statement of I the Ktirs-lievkw that the council has' borrowed a large sum of money is wholly false.

Crossln-Wray.

On Wednesday at the St. John's parsonage in Indianapolis, occurred the marriuge of Mr. John W. Crossin, of that city, and Miss Mayme Wray, of Crawfordsville. The ceremony took place at 3 o'clock, and was witnessed by only a few relatives and friends, and was performed by the Rev. Father Gavisk, of Indianapolis. The happy couple left Wednesday for a ten throueh Canada, after which they will be at home to their friends in luaiauapolls.

Delivered at the Day Before He Was Shot. 5^©^©^©?©«©«eGoaoe»Q*$ja$s

Tlio speech delivered by President McKinley at iiuffalo on Thursday, Sept. 5, Hie day bet ore Ins attempted assassination, is regarded as one of tlie best public addresses which lie eve:1 made. lie was introduced to tlie vast crowd of auditors which packed the esplanade of the exposition grounds by President Milburn, who said simply: "Ladies und gentlemen, the president."

When the cheering had subsided. President McKinley spoke as follows: President Milburn, Director Cenoral Buchanan. Commissioners, Ladies and Centlenion—I am glad to be attain in the city of Buffalo and exchange irreeiintrs with her people, to whose generous hospitality 1 am not a stranger and with whose good will I have been repeatedly and signally honored. Today I have additional satisfaction in meeting and giving welcome to tlie foreign representatives assembled hero, whose presence and participation in this exposition have contributed in so marked a decree to its interest and success. To the commissioners of the Dominion of Canada and the British colonies, the French colonies, the republics of Mev. ico and of Central and South America nnd the commissioners of Cuba and Porto Kico, who share with us in this

Expositions are the timekeepers of progress. They record '.lie world's advancement. They stimulate the energy, enterprise- and intellect of the people and quicken human genius. They go into the home. They broaden and brighten the daily life of the people. They open mighty storehouses of information to the student. Every exposition. great or small, lias helped to some onward step. Comparison of ideas is always educational and as such instructs the brain and hand of man. Friendly rivalry follows, whieli is the spur to industrial improvement, the inspiration 1o useful invention and to high endeavor in all departments of human activity.

It exacts a study of the wants, comforts and even the whims of the people and recognizes the elhcacy of high quality and new prices to win their lavor. The quest lor trade is an incentive to men of business to devise, invent, improve and economize 111 cost ol production. Business lite, whether among ourselves or with other peoples, is ever a sharp struggle lor success. Ft will lie none the less so in the future. "Without competition we would be clinging to the clumsy and antiquated processes of farming and manufacture and the methods of business of long ago. and the twentieth would be no further advanced than the eighteenth century. But though commercial competitors are commercial enemies, we must not be. ~j„ -,

I'ro^rcsK In tbo Pant.

The Pan-American exposition has done its work thoroughly, presenting in its exhibits evidences of the highest Skill and illustrating tlie progress of the human family in the western hemisphere. This portion 01 the earth has no cause for humiliation lor the part it has performed in the march of civilization. It has not accomplished everything: tar from it. It has simply done

its best, and without vanity or boast- I fulness and recognizing the manifest I achievements of others it Invites the friendly rivalry of all the powers in the peaceful pursuits of trade and commerce and will co-operate with all In advancing t.ic highest and best interests of humanity. The wisdom and energy of all the nations are none too great for the world's work. The success of art. science, industry and invention is an international asset and a common glory.

After all, how near one to the other is every part of the world! Modern inventions have brought Into close rela­

1

tion wiueiy separated peoples uno made them better acquainted. Geographic and political divisions will continue to exist, but distances have boon effaced. Swift ships and fast trains are becoming cosmopolitan. They invade fields which a lew years ago worn impenetrable. The world's products arc 'exchanged as never before, and with increasing transportation facilities conic increasing knowledge un.M larger trade. Prices are fixed with matlieuiatic precision by supply and demand. The world's selling prices are regulated by market and crop reports.

We travel greater distances in a shorter space of time and with more ease than was over dreamed of by the fathers. Isolation is no longer possible or desirable. The .same important news is read, though in different language's, the same day in all Christendom. Tin* telegraph keeps us advised of what is occurring everywhere, and the press foreshadows with more or less accuracy the plans and purposes of the nations. Market prices ol products and of securities are hourly known 111 every commercial mart, and the investments of the people extend beyond their own national boundaries into the remotest parts of the earth. Vast transactions arc conducted and international exchanges are made by the tick of the cable. Every event ol interest is immediately bulletined.

The quick gathering and transmission of news, like rapid transit, are ol recent origin and are only made posBible by the genius of the inventor andthe courage of the investor. I) took a special messenger of the government. ith every facility known at ihe time lor rapid travel, nineteen days to go from the city of Washington to New Orleans with a message to General Jackson that the war with England had ceased and a treaty of peace had been signed. Ilow diflorent now! Wo reached General Miles in Porto Kico by cable, and he was able through the mililary telegraph to stop his army on the lirmg line with the message that the United States anil Spain had signed a protocol suspending hostilities.

We knew almost instantly of the first shots fired at Santiago, and the subsequent surrender of the Spanish forces was known at Washington within less than an hour of its consummation. The first ship ol Cervera's licet had hardly emerged iroin that historic harbor when the fact was Hashed to our capital, and the

destruction that fol­

lowed was announced immediately through the wonderful medium of telegraphy. Su accustomed are we to sale and eas,\ coinnuiuicalion with distant lands that its temporary intorruntion even in ordinary times results in loss and inconvenience. We shall never forget the days of anxious waiting and awlul suspense when no information was permuted to be sent from Peking and the diplomatic representatives of the nations 111 China, cut off from all communication inside and outside of the walled capital, were surrounded by an angry and misguided mob that threatened their lives, nor the joy that thrilled the world when a single message from the government of the United Stutes brought through our minister the first news of the salety 01 the besieged diplomats.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century there was not a mile of steam railroad on the globe. Now there are enough miles to make its circuit many times. Thou there was not a line of electri'' telegraph. Now we have a vast mileage traversing all lands and all seas. God and man have linked 1' nations together. No nation can I be indifferent to any oilier, and as we are brought more and more in touch with each other the loss occasion is there for misunderstandings and the stronger the disposition when wo have differences to adjust them in the court of arbitration, which is the noblest. forum for the settlement of international disputes.

I nexotmpled Prosperity.

My fellow citizens, tiade statistics indicate that this country is in a state of unexampled prosperity. The ligures are almost appalling. They show that we are utilizing our fields and forests and mines and that we are furnishing profitable employment to the millions of workingmen throughout the United States, bringing comfort and happiness in their homes and making it possible to lay by savings lor old age and disability. That all the people are participating in this great prosperity is seen in every American community and shown by the enormous and unprecedented deposits in our savings banks. Our duly is the care and security of these deposits, and their safe investment demands the highest integrity and the best business capacity of those in charge of these depositories of the people's earnings.

We have a vast and intricate business. built: up through years of toil and struggle, in which every part of the country has its stake, which will not permit of either neglect or of undue selfishness. No narrow, sordid policy will subserve it. The greatest skill and wisdom on the part of the manufacturers and producers will bo required to hold and increase it. Our industrial enterprises which have grown to such great proportions ufloct the homes and occupations of the people and the welfare of the country. Our capacity to produce has developed so enormously and our products have so multiplied that the problem of more markets requires our urgent and immediate attention. Only a broad and enlightened policy will kci what we have. No other policy will get more. In these times of marvelous business energy and gain we ought to be looking to the future, strengthening the weak places in our indi!trial and commercial systems that we may be ready for any storm 01 strain.

Need of Reciprocity. .£

By sensible trade arrangements which will not Interrupt our home production wo shall extend the outlets foi our increasing surplus. A system which

provides a mutual exchange of commodities is manifestly essential to the continued and healthful growth of our export trade. We must not repose in fancied security that wo can forever sell everything and buy little or nothing. It' such a thing wore possible, it would not Lie best lor us or for those with whom we deal. Wo should take from our customers such 01 their products as we can use without harm to our industries and labor. Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth of our wonderful industrial development under the domestic policy now firmly established. What we produce beyond our domestic consumption must have vent abroad. The excess must be relieved through a foreign outlet, and we should I sell everywhere we can and buy wherever the buying will enlarge) our sales and productions and thereby make a greater demand for home labor. The period of exclusivenoss is past. The expansion ol our trade and commerce is the pressing problem. Commercial wars are unprofitable. A policy of good will and friendly trade relations will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties arc in harmony with the spirit of tlie times measures of retaliation are not.

If, perchance, some of our tariffs are no longer needed for revenue or 1o encourage and protect our industries at home, why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad? Then, too, we have inadequate steamship service. New lines of steamers have already been put in commission between the Pacific coast ports of the United States and those of the western coasts of Mexico and Central and South America. Those should be flowed up with direct steamship

lines

between the eastern

coast of l.:e United States and South American ports. One of tlie needs of the times is direct. ci'umiercial linos lrom our vast fields ol production to the fields of consumption lii.it wo have but barely touched. Next in advantage to having the thing to sell is to have the convenience to carry it to the buyer. We must encourage our merchant marine. We must: have mare ships. They must be under the American flag, built and manned and owned by Americans. Those will not only be profitable in a commercial sense they will be messengers of peace and amity wherever they go. We must build the isthmian canal, which will unite the two oceans and give a straight line of water communication with the western coasts of Central and South America and Mexico. The construction of a Pacific cable cannot be longer postponed.

A rrnlcM'iilty of Itrptihllcs, In the fun bora nee of these objects of national interest and concern you are performing an important part. This exposition would have touched the heart of that American statesman whose mind was ever alert and thought ever constant for a larger commerce and a truer fraternity of the republics of the new world. Ills broad American spirit is felt and manifested here. lie needs no identification to an assemblage of Americans anywhere, for the name of Blame is inseparably associated with the pan-American movement, which finds his practical and substantial expression and which we all hope will bo firmly advanced by the pan-American congress that assembles this autumn in the capital of .Mexico. The good work will go on. It cannot be stopped. These buildings will disappear this creation cf art and beauty and industry will perish from sight, but their inlluence will remain to

Make it live beroncl its too short living With praises and thanksgiving. Who can tell the new thoughts that have boon awakened, the ambitions fired and the high achievements that will be wrought through this exposition? Gentlemen, lot us ever remember that our interest is in concord, not conflict., and 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 anil nobler effort for their own and the world's good and that out of this city may come not only greater commerce and trade for us all, but. more essential than those, 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.

Witty Robert Burr.

Robert liair wlion askod for bis favorite quotation responded with the following verse and its accompanying comment, says The Windsor Magazine:

One who never turned his back, but marched breast forward: NKer doubled clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fljr'nt'better,

Sleep to wake. —Robert Browning. But Mr. P.arr can never bo serious in a letter, whatever ho may be in his quotation. J.lo has long been celebrated as one of the wittiest letter writtors of the day. However short his note may bo, it is long enough to afford him an opening for some little touch of the humorosque. In the present instance he writes: "The above is my favorite quotation. Whenever you want something helpful, you know, look up the writings of the talented It. B.'s—Uobert Burns, Robert Browning. Kobert Buchanan, Itobert Bruce or Robert Barr."

Ilow STew Zealand Punlslien Crime, New Zealand fits punishment to crime more nearly than most countries. Thus, at Wnngamii, when certain sawyers troubled their neighbors by their drunken freaks, the delinquents wore made to pay the fines imposed in such labor as they were accustomed to and were set to saw wood with which to build a prisou. The result was that, rather than transgress again, they vanished from the locality as soon as the edifice was complete.

Indianapolis. Sept. IS.—There is a general feeling among .stale officials and others inioresiod in the first preparation for Indiana day at the PanAmerican exposition that the celebration should not be entirely abandoned, and (lie result may be that a day may be fixed some tune in Uctobor, at which time the exercises may be carried out in lull and as at first intended. Governor Durbin and Lieutenant Govern'-:• Gilbert are of opinion that the celebration should take place, and it is probable that as soon as the parly of siaie officials relurn from the funeral services over President. McKinley at Canton the matter will be taken up and arrangements again completed. The funds necessary to carry on the colebraiion have been collected and .are being held subject to the orders of those who arranged for the exorcises at the rainbow city last Saturday. If it is definitely decided next week thai the mailer shall again be taken up it is probable that a day during the third week in October will be selected, and the program will be carried out as at first planned.

THE IRON MAN'S STORY.

Reiuinlttcences by :i Itridge lltiililtir at Cornwall, Out. "Do you remember the snan over the* South Channel at Cornwall, Ontario, irt 189S? I can icll you exactly the timo —it was almost noon on the (ith of! September, oil a Tuesday—when the pier gave way. There were sixteen men killed in that. The bridge was almost finished, and was ready to turn over to the railroad people in a weelc or two. It-had three camel-back spans, and its pics were supposed to be on blue liardpan. A coffer dam had been built over one of these and filled up with concrete and cement. Hig, solid blocks of stone had been put upon that. We had been given the foundations for it all right, and we'd put our iron:, work on that. There was a big traveler up, and when the pier gave, and two spans crumbled with a crack, tho tiaveler, of course, came down. Ono man on it never tried to jump, arid rode the traveler as it fell, hanging on to a cord (of steel). He was never hurt. That particular steel bar happened to stop ten feet away from the water, and lie simply climbed off. Once," said Billy, returning to his reminiscences, "a man I knew, who was working on the ridge of an iron, house roof, lost his hold and commenced to slide down the corrugated iron. It was a slide of about twentyfive feet to the edge, and then came a drop of fifty feet, as lie knew, on somo heaps of scrap iron. Down he went, and just at the edge a rivet caught his' corduroys and held him there.*'—Leslie's.

..v... Units and Their Buckles. The greater number of belts areshaped, and white calf and patent' leather are among the best. The harness buckle is the buckle for these belts. Occasionally there is a buckle: that is covered. Some of the belts have buckles on either side of the front and open at one of them. Suede and. velvet belts are studded with metal.
