Resolutions of the Jasper County Bar.

At a meeting of the Jasper County Bar held in the West court room in the city of Rensselaer, Indiana, on occasion of the death of President William McKinley, the following resolutions were submitted by a committee consisting of M. F. Chilcote, E. P. Honau and W. B. Austin, and on motion were ordered spread upon the record of said court. And Whereas it is but proper that the bar of this County should express in their humble way, by resolutions, their appreciation of the character and worth of th 6 President and their detestation of the man and act that took him from this life. Therefore be it resolved by the bar of Jasper County, .that in the death of President William McKinley the nation has lost an aggressive acd vigorous defender who was the incarnation of true Americanism, and a wise counsellor. He was a soldier, patriot, statesman, neighbor, friend, and a true Christian gentleman, and like Lincoln and Garfield, he waited upon the wishes of the people and was near to them, and they inspired him in his great work of restoring fraternal feeling among the States, and he leaves to his successor a united oountry and an expanded and prosperous republic. Be It Further Resolved that we extend this testimonial to the memory of our deceased chief executive with reverence and also with humiliation; humiliation in this, that there should be a being so devoid of humanity and patriotism as to entertain sentiments of hatred and hostility against our government, to the extent that it would lead him to imbrue his hands in the blood of its honored and beloved President. And it is the sense of this bar that not only the assassin of our beloved President, but all his aiders, abettors, advisers and tors, direct and indirect, should suffer as their acts deserve. And be it further Resolved that it is also the sense of this bar, that it is the imperative and immediate duty of Congress and of the several state legislatures, to pass such laws as shall effectually make the existence of anarohy impossible in any part of the nation. M. F. Chilcote, E. P. Honan, W. B. Austin.
