Wo regret , as much an anyone , that NO many comparatively poor people have lost their money , but it in a consolation to know that tbo condi tions of the timoH are Much that HO many can have a surplus of money to deposit in tbo bankflif they do- tiiro. It in an evidence of prnspor- ity that all should bo thankful for. "Why did tbo republican conven tion bind their candidates by resolution - tion to Bttbmit the maltor of soloot- ing doputioH and other otliooR held to the central committee. " Chief. Simply becauHo it in tbo only just method to porsuo by any political party. The nominees are selected by their convention nnd the central committee IB elootod by the conven tion to superintend the campaign for their party. It IB to the victor tbat belongs the spoils and the faithful and efficient memberH of the patty who Hoouro the victory for the party arc entitled to a voice in the management of the party and in , who should bo honored by the parly. Wbeu the matter of deputies is Hubmilled to the central commitleo it removes tbo ombarasHraont in , which a candidate is placed when bo is charged , aa is tbo case of Homo of the populist nomineeswith having promised from three to a half dozen one deputy ship. The central uommitloo of county and fiUlo should in all instances bavo the rosponsibilty of appointments. This would often prevent unworthy and incompetent parties from imposing upon eandi- dates as has frequently been tbo oaao in all parties. The resolution is not only good politics but is just and right. Wo are not surprised that populists take exception to us as wo understand their mode of pro- oueduro is to secure workers by making promises to as many as they can , with no hope of fulUilliug them. The KKPUIILIOAN insist tbat honesty in politics will pay as well as in all other lines of business. "It IB Uod's Way. Gods Will Bo Done. " The assassination of President MoKinley by an anarchist , from a hunmn point of view can bo regard ed only as a great national calamity. As a citizouH and statesman and chief ozeoutivo combined , our nation has not had his superior. Yet we are compelled to endorse the sentiment expressed by him in bis last words when ho said it is "God's way. Gods will bo done. " We bulievo in.

MoKinley is dead "God reigns and tuo government at Washington still lives" What God's purpose may bo , may only be a matter of speculation , yet wo have the biHtory of Ibo pasl , the light of Iho proso'at and can judge the future. Sin no doubt is the cause. It was not the sin of tbo blind man nor 1m | ) arontsOhriHt said that caused the man toybo blind whoso eyes ho so miraculously opened. Nor was il because of Sloven's sin thai God permitted'him stoned to dualh , nor was il because .Irbn the Baplist wns a sinner that Ilorod was permitted to have bis bead brought to him in a charger. In each case it was Ibo result of the wicked heartH tbat por- protraded tbo deeds , but. ocoh in. Htanoo God overruled their wioked- nesa for the good of humanity.

Christ's death * nH the remit of sin , for which ho was in no wise responsible , yet in bis death millions bavo boon blessed The sacrifice was great and tbo good that has aud will resell from it can * nol bo computed. At Ibo prcsc-nt lime there is a great evil that has taken root in our nation and every mviliy.od nation of oirlh is cursed in a greater or lusa dogreo. Neither tbo republican parly nor William MoKinloy caused it. It is a senli- mont that is being promulgated againsl organi/.ed govornmonl. All forms of government is denounced by its advocates. Organi/.itions throughout Europe and Ibis country are formed for ihe solo purpose of destroying all governments. They acknowledge no allegiance to the laws of God or man. They seek to exterminate govern ments by the asHination of their chief exccutivch. ) n some of the foreign countries they have become HO numerous lhat-no ruler is srcure and a strong guard is required con tinually to prolccl him from them. In Ibis country tbo organization is growing each year. With our present lews under the guarantee of freu ppeech and free proHH the most damablo and villian. OUH doctrines arc promulgated , with out restraint. Under the guise of politics , religion or reformdesigning persons denounce every thinij ; that does not moot their misconceived ideas in the most virulenh mat ] nor of which they are capable , whether it bo against HtPto , nation or individuals. The very laws and government lo which tboy appeal for protection , when in trouble , tboy denounce most bitter ly when given their liberty. AH long as they commit no overt act their infamous pratiugs go un- noliood and the seed continues to germinate in now and vicious minds. The disease cannot bo said to bo confined alone to foreigners or their immediate deoondente. It breaks out frequently in its most virulent form in American politic ians and demogoguos under the license of free speech or free press. It first had its origin in countries where kings and emperors reigned for lifo , The burden of their gong was "Kill the tyrants. " Tbat is still their pica , but it is only a pre tense. Although CzoluoBz may have hoard som political fanatic do- olaro that President MeKinloy would proclaim himself emperor in ease of his re-election and declare the United States an empire , lie nnd his clique know , if they had a thimble ( tall of brainp , that such HtalnmonlH wore the utterances of political dcmogogucp , whono solo aim was to poison the minds of the public agaiiift the republican party for the sordid and Hellish desire to gain political preferment. But with Buch doctrines , hewn broad- uH.-t , it gave them I'rounds for pre- tciiao nnd the thus took refuge and proceed lo carry out their diaboli cal plans to destroy all govern ment , by nssinating the head of the bt'St form of government under heaven Nothing short of so dastardly an aol or HO villianous a crime , dot'bt- less would have made our nation to telalizc the magnitude of llio viper it has been mirtung in its bossom. The ussassinalion of 0113 in the uommo.i walks of life would bavo only atlraottMl criticism in the im mediate vicinity whore the crime was committed Nothing nhorl of tbu assassination of thu one , of all mosi highly roHpiuilcd and adored would have been auilicient to arouse tbo public lo the requirement ! ) necessary to destroy and for cvca banish irom our boasted Christian land the red banded and black hearted anarchist. No traitor nor anarchist whether ho belongs to a clique , society , party or stands alone mi an individual who raises his voice or band against the government or 5tn chosen represen tative , ( oxcopl for dier-oloot of dut } ) should bo allowed to re main on our sacred soil a single day. Such people are a disgrace to the htinnn race and a cruse to civilizi- tiju , just and patriotic ollizonship. Our laws should bo so amended , seas as to make advocates of such doct rine punishable by life imprisonment or banishment to seme isle of the soaiBholatod from tbo bonetits and beauties of Christian civilization and government. If the tragic and untimely death of our great and beloved President Win. McKinlcy results in the enact ment of laws that will rid our country of tbo red banded nnarcbisl wo can ihen see the hand of Provid ence in it. Not only will it prove a great blessing to this nation , but doubtless all Europe will join wilb uH in providing a St. Helena where not only ours , but where their an- atchist , can bo lunishod for life and whore they and all tboir sympathis ers shall bo compelled to remain without government or protection , from internal contentions , murder and strife. With such a law on our statutes we can see in President Roosevelt ngaint tbo hand of Providonoo. Of all the governors , of the em pire stale none wore so vigorous and fearless in tbo prosecution of wrong in high places , or moro ; ox- auling in rigbeousneHS in oilioo Ihan ho was up lo Ihe limo ho was called to tbo vice presidency against his protests. Tbo bore who led Iho rough riders through shellwire fences and up the mountain steep at San Jiitin hill at humanilys call can bo used by Iho Great Captain Jehovah , as was David of old to drive tbo Phalistians \\itb their idols from our fair land. Should this be done wo could all Hooas we now see tbo death of , lisuetbat ! it was "God's Way" and with one accord proclaim Gods will bo done. President William McKinley Dead The IlcniMViKMl ( Mti/.en Soldier And Statesman Yields To The Asslim Itullel After Seven Days Or Suffering. The ( Jroat Hopes Of His Itccovcry Slid * ( Icnly Clumped To Mourning. At L : 1C Saturday morning Sept. Mlh 1901 , the death of president MeKinloy occurod at llio Milburn residence in Buffalo N. Y. where ho had boon since the aesasins bullet pierced his body on Friday Ihe week previous. The wound lhat was intituled in Iho abdoman was inoro crilical ihan tbo physicians had been able lo discern and thoii favorable prediction for tbo presidents dents speedy recovering was made in ignorance of the real situation. The autopsy revealed thai ihe bullel winch passed through both walls of Iho stomach had also passed through and lore off the uonor end of the kidney. This portion of the bullet track wns gangrenous. Death ro suited from the gangeno which af fected the stomach around the bullet wounds as well as tbo tissues around the further course of Iho bullol , which made death unavoidable. It is boloivod by some of the phypiuiaus that the ballot had boon poisoned which was one of the load , ing causes ot the gangrenous condi tions. Until Friday morning prior to his death only favorable news of the condition of the president had boon given out and when the official bul * lotin was received hero early Friday that the presidents condition was critical Iho public was wholy un prepared for it , ns all were built up with the hope that his absolute re covery was assured. Frequent bulletins through the day from the nnsociatcd press wrro received and promptly bulletined at tbo Kisrun- I.IOAN oflioo , which kept the public advincd of the finrious changes taking place. It was about 10 p. tu. when llio lasl bulletin received gave ihe last and farewell meeting of Iho president and Mrs. Molvinley thai prepared the mind of tlm public for the final nuHsago announcing bis death at 'Jlf : a. m. Saturday morn ing. The news reached thin city at 2:30 : a. m. and the public wns ap prised of the sad event by the tolling of the council bell at 2-l5 : by nigbl watchman , Grant Drake. In further evidences of sympathy and esteem ihe tiily il ig was placed at halfmaKt , Wilhou & Drake draped their ( lag in mourning and all portraits of the Iito president that were owned in tlu city were appropriately draped and placed in conspicuous positions One of them adorned the window of the Republican oilice also one at. Haerble's drug store and A. . W. Drakes Beyond band storo. the court house , and Humphrey's ollico. Never before in Ibo history of the nation has ihe death of one of its citizens been HO universally mourned as William MeKinloy. Both Pre- HidoiiU ) Lincoln and Gartiold wore hold in high esteem by a very largo per cent of the people , bill owing to strong political differences Ix.Uveen the north and south the sympathy was not so universal. Un der President MoKinloy's adminis tration all Hocttonal feeling has bien obliterated and his conservative and successful manner in dealing with both national and inter nation al queslions endeared him to the common people as no other pie- sideu ever was. While some have criticised his policies very few bavo questioned his inlegrity and all , a few fanatics and anarchists exccplrd regard his death as a national calamity. Friday night when tbo president realized that his end was near h'o called his wife to his bed side anc bid her an affectionate farwoll and bid all good-bye. Aflor chanting tbo hymn Near My God to Thee , ho said it is ' 'God's way The will of God be Done. " Realizing that bis life was being prolonged by the use of oxygen and Htimu'onts ' bo request- Ins physicians to let him die. Tie tbbn passed into unconsciousness in which state ho remained to ibo last.

Saturday afternoon at 3:30 Vic President liohevolt in Iho .present ! of several of McKinleyn cabinet took the oath of office and entered upon bis duties as president. On being formally notified by Secretary Root lhat the cabinet requested that bo should lake the constitutional oath. President Rosovelt responded by saying : "I shall take the oath at once in accordance with your request and in this hour of deep and terrible na tional bereavement I wish to state that it shall bo ray aim to conlinuo absolutely unbroken the policy of President MoKinley for Iho peace and prosporily and honor of our be loved oounlry. " The president stopped forward in to the bay window and Judge Hazel , taking up the constitutional oath of office which had boon prepared on parchment , asked tbo president to raise his right hand and repeat it after him. There was a hush like death in the room as the judge road a few words at a time aud the pre sident in a htrong voice and without a tremor and with his raised hand as steady as if carved from marble , re peated it after him. "And thus I swear , " ho ended it. The band dropped by tbesido , the chin for an instant rested on the breast and tbo silence remained unbroken for a couple of minutes as though the now president of the United States was offering silent prayer. Judge tlazol broke it by saying : "Mr. President , please attach your signa ture. " And the president turning to a small table near by wrote "Theodore Roosevelt at tbo bottom of tbo document in a u'rm hand. Immediately following the dis persing of the spectators after tak ing the oath the president requested the members of the cabinet to con tinue in their several offices , which they agreed to do at least until congress - gress convenes.
