M'KINJJEY'S CHARACTER.

Louisville (Joaritr- Journal, (Dem. It will »„t be said by the most censorious critic of William McKinley that he was not a well intentioned man, who loved his country and tried to do his duty. To those who had the happiness personally to know him he seemed very much more than this: a man, who brought to the public service a strong character and large capabilities, but who in hie private relations of life was graciousness personified: patient, kindly, sympathetic. The notion that he was not his own master, and the master of all about him, was singularly at fault. Nothing could the better prove this than his fidelity to his friends. It is the weak man who kicks away the ladder when he has climbed to the top. McKinley showed himself grateful to every round of the ladder. In his heart he feared no man's rivalry, not even the accusation and appearance of a division of power. He knew as few men have known how to say "No" as if conferring a favor and to send the suitor way at least half-satisfied.

He was the strictest, the most orthodox of partisans in the sense that he arnestly believed his party to be right. "The party, right or wrong." meant with him the conviction that parties are aggregations made up both of right and wrong and that as to the sum-totals and in the long run he was surer of realizing his ideals by keeping closely in the party line. Thus, though accessible to his political adversaries, and most considerate in his intercourse with them, he took counsel mainly of his political friends a very Jackson in this respect without Old Hickory's vehemence, his obdurate likes and dislikes.

Justly to understand William McKinley we must take this into account. It is the lode-star that sheds a ilood of light upon all that he said and did. He resembled Lincoln in the steadfastness of his partyism and the benignancy of his utterances and conduct. Standing by the dead body of William McKinley, the man—the simple, generous, gentle man—our chieftain yet1 our fellow-citizen—we can only mourn mouvn for our country and ourselves that he is gone mourn for the evil that' has come upon us by his cruel and unnatural murder mourning above all for that stricken one, that bosom friend, that willed ilower, cruelly struck down by the hand of the assassin never to hope again until the angels shall open their wings and take her where they have taker* him. God have mercy upon us this day, as a nation and as a people! It is too dreadful to concontemplate. May it make us better men and women, now and forever, amen!

WHO HAXSESITHE LEVIES?

Inasmuch as the Democratic organ has had a word or two to say about increased taxes for next year, it might not be amiss to show in what townships increases are made. The following ••able shows the levies for last year and this year, the townships withl Democratic trustees being designated by a star: 1900. 1901. Iner'se l{flct •CoaltCreek ...1.34 1.5a 19

The seven Democratic trustees, it will be observed, have till of them raised their levies for next year and have raisedijthem over and above the ihe cent increase made by the county council. Two of the four Republican trustees have reduced their levies even in the face of the i. county council raise A third. Trustee Breaks, of Union, Bhows a raise of only four cents in spite of the council's raise, thus showing that he really made a reduction of one cent.

The figures show under which party financial affairs in this county are best managed.

PRESIDENTS DEAD

(Continued from first.page

llie president's pastor for three yours at Oanlon, called ta the residence to inquire whether his services were needed, but. did not enter the house. Another Methodist, minister who lias a rlmi-eh near by remained at the Milburn residence for two hours in the belief that his services might be desired.

At 9:.'!7 Secretary Cortelyou, who had been much of the time with his dying chief, sent out formal notification that the president, was dying. I$nt. the president lingered ou, his pulse gorwing fainter and fainter. There was no need for official bulletins after this. Those who came from the house at intervals told the same story —that the president was dying ami that the end might come at any time. His tremendous vitality was the only remaining factor in the result, and this gave iiope only of brief postponement of the end. Dr. Mynter thought hr might last until 2 a. m. Dr. Mann said at 11 o'clock that the president, •was still alive and probably would live an hour. Thus minutes lengthened to hours, and midnight came with the president still battling against deatii.

At the midnight hour the Milburn house was the center of a scene ns animated as though it were midday, although a solemn hush hung over the great crowd of watchers. The entire lower part of the house was aglow with light, and the many attendants, friends and relatives could be seen within moving about and occasionally coming in groups to the front doorway for a breath of air. In the upper front chambers the lights were low, and around on tlie north side, where the chamber of death is located, there were fitful lights, some burning brightly and then turned low. Secretary Root and Secretary Wilson came from the house about midnight, and paced up and down the sidewalk. Aii that Secretary Root said was: "The night has not come yet."

Despite the fact that vitality continued to ebb as midnight approached, no efforts were spared to keep the spark of life glowing. Dr. Janewa of New York city arrived at the depot at 11:40 o'clock. George Urban was waiting for him and they drove at a breakneck pace to the Milburn house He was shown to the president's rtoom at once and began an examination of the almost inanimate form.

Secretary of the Navy Long arrived at the Milburn house at 12:06 o'clock This was his first visit to the city, and he hod the extreme satisfaction of seeing the president alive, even though he was uot conscious of his visitor's prcscucc. Secretary Long wns visibly affected.

Shortly after midnight the president's breathing was barely percepti hie. TTis pulse had practically ceased and the extremities were cold. It was recognized that nothing remained but the last struggle.

INSUliKIiCTION CRUSHED

Colombia's Civil Troubles Are Practically At. An End. h!

Washington, Sept. 19.—The Colombian legation officials express the view that the Colombian insurrection is practically crushed. In support of this statement, they say the insurgents do not hold a single village or position in all Colombia, although some bands of marauders are giving trouble, and that those ou whom the rebel forces had counted for allies were unlikely to give further material aid. Curacao press advices to the legation allege that many of President Castro's supporters in the interior of Venezuela are protesting against his anti-Colom-bian aggressiveness. According to the legation the defeat of a Nicaraguan force recently will likely stop further hostile movements from that: quarter. J'embers of the legation say they understand that the Nicaraguan government has given assurance to the American minister that it would not wage war 011 Colombia. President IMaza of

Ecuador, who has recently assumed otlice, has frequently pledged neutrality toward Colombia. The Columbian minister, I)r. Silva, says that reports he has just, received say that the Colombian troops under arms numbered 05,000 last: July and that the force since has been considerably augmented.

ICarlv Sui'i'dUiKliiiUK of Czolgosz.

Petoskey, Mich., Sept. 10.—The attempt to trace the lineage of Czlogosz recalls the connection of his father with the Molitor ni'uvler mystery which shocked Michigan 25 years ago. The elder Czolgosz was one of the colonists in Presque Isle county, ruled over by Henry Molitor, who was an illegitimate son of King Louis of Wurtemburg, who lied from Germany under sentence of death. Slung to desperation by Molitor's tyrannies and vice, a band of colonists poured a volley of shots through the window of the company store on Aug. 10, 187G, killing Molitor.

Diplomatic Service Not Coitly.

This year's appropriation for the diplomatic and consular service of the United States is $1,846,00, or one-third of what the new Agricultural Department costs, one-half the sum appropriated for the expenses of the city of Washington and one-.sixth of the appropriation for the nation's wards, the surviving Indians. The United States expends less for its consular and diplomatic service than any other country of the first class. AvV

TRIBUTES OF RESPECT

Were Paid By Representatives of All Civilized Nations—A Ton of Hoses.

Body of the Late President Mclvinlcy lieceives Temporary Sepulture In a Vault.

Canton, Ohio, Sept. 19.—Sepulture was this afternoon given the mortal remains of the martyred president, in Westlawn ccmetry. The body was placed in a receiving vault: temporarily and will be later given interment in the McKinley family burial plot in the same cemetery, where lie side by side the two children whose lives briefly blessed the late president and his wife. The ceremonies attending the services today were simple and of not: great length, yet characterized

M'KINI.EY BURIAL PLOT, CANTON.

in all particulars by the deepest solemnity and accompanied by every evidence of world-wide grief. In addition to the presence of President Roosevelt and the chief dignitaries of this nation, there wrere present representatives of every civilized nation on the globe to add their tribute of respect and to join in the general woe.

The funeral services took place at 1:30 p. m.. at the First Methodist Episcopal church, of which the martyred president was a communicant and trustee. They were brief by tlie expressed wish of the family. Rev. O. B. Milligan, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, in which President and Mrs. McKinley were married 30 years ago, made the opening prayer. Dr. John I-Iall of the Trinity Lutheran church, made xhe first scriptural reading, and Dr. 13. P. Herbruck of the Trinity Reformed church, the second. Dr. C. E. Manchester, pastor of the late president's church, delivered the only address. A quartet sang "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." and another quartet sang Cardinal Newman's hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light." An imposing procession consisting of many of the G. A. R. posts in the state, the national guard of Ohio, details of regulars from all branches of the service, fraternal, social and civic organizations and representatives of commercial bodies from all over the country, the governors of several states with their staffs, the house and senate of the United States, and cabinet and president of the United States followed the remains to Westlawu ccmetery, where they were placed in a receiving vault awaiting the time •when they "will be laid in the grave beside the two dead children wiio were buried years ago. The number and the beauty of the floral tributes simply surpassed belief. Flowers came literally by the ton. The hothouses of the country seem to have been emptied to supply them.

There was a short: service at the receiving vault, consisting of prayer and a scriptural reading by Dr. C. E. Manchester and Bishop I. W. Joyce of Minneapolis. A selection was sung by a quartet from Pittsburg ^ommandery No. 1 Knights Templar.

SCION KS AT CANTON

The liittlc City Had Inadequate Facilities For the Crowd.

Canton, Ohio, Sept. 10.—The facilities of the little city of Canton tire entii-ely inadequate to care for the thousands who are here today. Although the local committee did everything in its power to provide food and shelter, many of the officials from Washington were obliged to sleep in the cars they came in last night, while hundreds walked the streets seeking food and places to sleep. The population of Canton is abo'it 31.000. but (t is estimated that over 100,000 people are here today.

The members of the senate and house did not arrive until today. President Roosevelt, his naval aide, Commander Cowles, Secretary Root, and Assistant Secretary Ilill arrived yesterday and are guests at the spacious residence of Mrs. George D. Ilartei on Market street. A company of the Ohio militia guards the house. The other cabinet officers and the generals and admirals composing the guard of honor are also at private residences.

President Roosevelt and the official party will start back to Washington at 7 o'clock tonight.

The manner of the reception accorded the stricken president's body yesterday created a profound impression here. Tenderly and reverently those who had known William McKinley best received his martyred body. They had forgotten the illustrious career of the statesman in the loss of a great personal friend who had grown dearer to them with the passing of the years. They hardly noticed the president of the United States or hjs cabinet or the generals and admirals in their resplendent uniforms. The beautiful Hag-draped casket which contained the body of. their friend and fellow-townsman had all their thoughts. He had left them two weeks ago that very day in the full strength of his manhood, and they had brought him back dead. Anguish was in the heart of every man, woman and child. The entire population of the little city, thousands from all over Ohio, the full strength of the national guard of the state, eight regiments, three batteries of artillery, one battalion of engineers, 5,000 men in all the governor, lieutenant governor, and a justice of the supreme court, representing the three branches of the state government, were at the station to receive the remains. The whole town was in deep black. The only house in all this sorrow-stricken city without a touch of mourning drapery, strange as it may seem, was the old familiar McKinley cottage on North Market street, to which so many distinguished men in the country have made pilgrimages. The blinds were drawn, but there was no outward token of the blow that had robbed It of its most precious possession. The flowers bloomed on the lawn as they did two weeks ago. There was not even a bow of crape upon the door when the stricken widow was carried by Abner McKinley and Dr. Rixey through it into the darkened home. Only the hitching post at the curb in front of the residence had been swathed in black by the citizens in order that it might conform to the general scheme of mourning decoration that had been adopted.

Sad as was the procession which bore the body to the court house where it lay in state during the afternoon, It could not compare with the sadness of that endless double line of brokenhearted people who streamed steadily through the dimly lighted corridors of the building from the time the coffin was opened until it was taken home to the sorrowing widow at nightfall.

Perhaps the great change that had come upon frhe countenance moved the people more than the sight of the familiar features. The signs of discoloration which appeared upon the brow and cheeks Tuesday at the state ceremonial in the rotunda of the capitol at Washington had deepened. The lips had becoipe livid. All but two of the lights of the chandelier above the head were extinguished in order that the change might appear less noticeable, but everyone who viewed the remains remarked the darkened features and the ghastly lips. When the body was taken away thousands were still In line, and the committee• in charge of the arrangements was appealed to to allow a further opportunity to view the remains today before they arc taken to ihe church. This had to be reluctantly denied to them, and the casket may never be opened again.

A Louisiana Tragedy.'

Baton Itouj»e, La., Sept. 19.—Dr. John W. McKowen of Clinton, la., was shot anu killed yesterday by State Senator R. Emerson Thompson of East Feliciana parish. Some time ago Thompson was arrested at the instigation of McKowen for alleged larceny of part of a fence between Thompson's place and the plantation of Mrs. Pipes, a sister of McKowen. This brought about bad feeling between Thompson and McKowen. Yesterday the two men met in the public road. Nothing is known of what happened further than what was given out by Thompson. He claims that McKowen assaulted him and that he shot McKowen in self-defense. Thompson surrendered.

TWENTY YEARS AFTERWARD

McKinley Buried On Anniversary of Gai-llcUi's Death. Canton, Sept. 19.—The body of President William McKinley linds sepulture on the 20th anniversary of the death of President James A. Garfield. Both of these martyrs came from the same soil to hew a path by their own energy to the highest gift within the power of their people both return to the earth of the lake region to sleep that sleep that has 110 mortal awakening. They were born within 00 miles of each other, they will sleep wtihin Ou miles of each other, though neither in the place OL his nativity. They represented in congress some of the same constituency, and that service was the Stepping stone to tin: prominent niches they occupy in ihe world's history.

Ma: who have come to Canton from tlie nearby towns come a second time to mourn a. neighbor—not the loss of a president. Uarlield was buried in Lakeview cemetery. Cleveland. Sept. 26, 1881, on a spot where, it is claimed, he had chopped wood to earn the money with which he gained his education. lie was born in a log cabin 20 miles southeast: of where his body lies. At that time 'William McKiniey was a child in arms at Xilcs, a day's horseback ride farther east.

The funerals of both Lincoln and Garfield and the funeral that is today solemnized by the nation have all been spectacles in their way. in some respects that of Lincoln was the greatest. Only another crisis such as arose in the spring of 1805 could make such another funeral possible. Shot on lnnight of April 14, lie died on the 15th. His body was taken to city after city through the North, where it lay in state. Leaving Washington on the night of the 10th, It. was lirst taken to Baltimore, and then, in the order named, to ITarrisburg, Philadelphia (Independence Hall), New York, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Chicago and Springfield, his home, where the burial took place May 4, 20 days after the assassination.

Garfield's body lay in state in Ihe open air in Cleveland one day and night. A great, illuminated catafalque had been erected in Monument square, in practically the same spot where Lincoln's body had rested. The catafalque was crowned by a great ball, on which stood a 20-foot angel of peace with wings extended and meeting above her head. Draperies fell from the sphere on which she stood, flowing down over the sides of the structure "with beau iful effect. The cortegewas a military spectacle. The short address at the grave was made by Chaplain J. II. Jones, of the 42d Ohio. Garfield's regiment. Mrs. Garfield and the president's mother did not leave their cab. though both drew the curtains aside and watched the ceremony at the grave.

Tribute of a Friend.

Boston, Sept. 10.--A tribute entitled "William McKiuley an Appreciation," written by Secretary John D.Long, is given prominence in the Transcript. In part It: says: "President McKinley, of blessed life, is now and more and more as time goes on, will be, of blessed memory. Tlie asperities which afli'.ct a public servant during his official career will quickly be forgotten: and the calm, just verdict of history will pronounce him a man of ideally pure, true character, a patriot of single and disinterested devotion to his country, and statesman unexcelled, for tact, prudence and practical competency. His domestic life is one of the precious sanctities of American sentiment."

A Hint for Mrs. JBrcnci.

New York, Sept. 10. -Mayor Neuman of Cliffside Park, N. J., has notified Mrs. Bresei, the widow of the man who killed King Humbert, that it would be as well if she moved from the borough at an eany date. The notification was not a threat, but simply an invitation to go. Mrs. Bresei lias been keeping a boarding house which she started with money supplied by the anarchists who were associates of her husband before lie left this country 011 his mission to kill Italy's ruler. It is thought Mrs. Bresei' will accept tlie Invitation to move, as many of her boarders are said to have gone elsewhere.

A Soldier's tfmotion.

Victoria, B. C., Sept. i-J.—On tho steamer Empress of India which has arrived from the Orient, was Major General Ilenry C. Corbin of the United States army, returning home from the Philippines. It was not until the liner was tying up at Williamshead quarantine station that General Corbin was made aware of the assassination of President McKinley. As the details were conveyed on board by the Victoria papers, the frame of the soldier trembled with emotion, and soon tho tears were rolling down his cheeks. He said the news had come upon him with such suddenness he was too prostrated to speak.

Three Children Murdered.'

Grautsburg, Wis., Sept. 19.—Three children of Mr. Bawsley, living at Lang's Dam were murdered while the. parents were absent, and the house was then fired to destroy evidences of the crime. The victims were a girl 01 16, a boy of 8, and another of 4 years. Suspicion points very strongly toward a half-breed as the perpetrator of the crime. lie has been in love with the girl for some time, but she did not return his affection. An inquest showed that the girl had been outraged and then murdered, her throat being cut, •while the skulls of the younger children had been crushed.
