OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUHTY. — ~~- ■= THURSDAY, SEPT. 19. THE DEATH OF PftEStoENT ."UKINLET. In accordance with the prociama-j ticn issued bv Mavcr Beattv the citizens of this city and county, all of whom mourn as one over the tragic death of the president of the United States, are devoting todav in com memorating the memory of the dead president. His death strikes a blow at the heart of our government and which will be resented in true Amer ican style, with no flourish of trumpets er btagadocia. The American people are not easily aroused, but when once stirred they can always be depended upon to defend the right. let the consequence be what it may So it will be with the problems of anarchy which now confronts the protectors cf «C tr government, and the gravity cf the situation makes their duty the more plain The present laws will make short work in giving Czolgcsz all the justice there is in law. He will be defended by aide counsel and be given all the opport'inity to defend himself that is accorded an ordinar v murderer, and while the wheels of justice may move slow, yet the fact that they will move is as certain as the result itself. And then not much time will elapse until adequate 1 tws will reach out and prosecute with rigid enforcement, such specimens cf disorder and anarchy as Emma Goldman and her followers. The letter and spirit of the declaration cf independence demands that our government be adm._in all I possible freedom and safctv and that anarchy in all its baleful teachings he wiped from the face cf the earth. The death of President McKinley, coming after hopes cf his recovery were held cut. was a shock that sad dened the hearts cf S •* «» freemen. Personally President McKinley was a man of brilliant mind, a statesman and a Christian gentleman. The Chicago Chronicle well tells of the president’s personality: <>n the bed of suffering and death he manifested the same traits—the highest

His j final affectionate “Good-bye to all." with the remark. “It is God’s way. his will be done." complete the per feet scene of an ideal Christian death | bed. It is now President Roosevelt, and the dignity of the office demands that tie familiarity of "Teddy" be I laid on the shelf. Some enterprising new-paper correspondent has already discovered that President Roosevelt is not a candidate to succeed himself. Iris said that there are twelve known anarchists within the borders of Indiana, and that an eagle eye will be kept on their movements from this time henceforth. — Decatvs may new prepare to again be the target for another round on the interurban railroad question.

new preeid ent of the Cai ted States. | They are such as to cause natural' apprenea«ioa as to the policy and success f his administration. But there is no suffi.-ent reason to take a gloomy view of the future. Mr Roosevelt assumes his office under the meet painful circumstances and every consideration of patriotism and fair plav demands that no pre;udgmeet be taken agi.nst him. The tragical erect which has made him president and the •uvxre conditions which confront him must, we think, have a sobering effect, and we shall be much disappointed if the grave reepocsibilitiee be is suddenly called upon to assume do not develop qualities tn him which have hitherto remained latent It will be remembered that Mr. Arthur, when be became president. was known onlv as a New York ward politician and his to the pveaideocy was regarded with general alarm, which was entirely natural in view of his antecedents. Yet his administration was eminently creditable and was characterized by dignity. stau~man«hip and patriotism Mr Rrxwevelt is a strong partisan and will, of course, conduct bis administra tion on republican hoe* But be will, we hope and believe, bare an acres sion of dignity and moderation and strive to maintain the beet traditions of bis high office.

“The Urr.b'ediel at Buffalo, rude ly breaking the ties of family and , triendstlp and herrifring every pa tri otic citizen, crowns a most extraordinary life with a halo that cannot! but exalt its victim’s place in history. , whue his bravery bearing the trying: .rdeal. his forgiving spirit and his for .tltudeg.ve glimpses of his inner life ' which nothing k-os tragic could have rev <ded. But in exptess>g sad as is I ' the death of McKinley, the illustrious I citizen, it is the damnable m urder of McKinlev. the president, that melts £ ev.-ntv hve million hearts into one and brings a hush to the farm, the factory and the home. The death, even when produced by natural causes of a public servant charged with the tre meodous reeponabil ties which press □poo a president. shocks the entire country, and is infinitely multiplied when the circumstance*’ attending constitute an attack upon the govern ment itself. No cue can estimate the far reaching effect of such an act as that which now casts a gloom over our land. It shames America in the eyes of the world, it impairs her moral prestige and gin» enemies of free government a chance to mock at b«-r and it excite* an indignation which, while righteous in itself, may lead to acts which will partake of the spirit of lawlessness. As the preer dent s death overwhelms all in a common sorrow so it imposes a common reeponsibility, namely: To so avenge the wrong done to the president, bis family and the country. as to make the executive life secure without abridgement of the freedom of speech or the freedom of the press."

General Arthur Me Arthur, formerly commander in chief of the military forvee in the Philippines, is saying a great deal about the situation in the archipelago. The general, however, framed his comment with hopefulness rather than emphasis. Between the lines of his interviews there is much food for thought. He stated, among other things, that the arn ?-T °L f°rty thousand men in the Philippines would probably be none too many fjr sometime to come. This is a bald admission that the civil tr ivernment established with such an ostentatious flourish of trumpets is far from able to stand on its own legs. , Fren<h Tp. Fir» Insurance Co.
