an exhaustive review of the life of the king

a moat entertaining story that will be en

Henderaoa Calls Assrnabiaa. to Order.
As the handa of tbe gold clock opposite

Speaker Henderson called the assemblage
to order. He was dressed In a black frock
coat, the aomberne ot which was relieved
by a flower in the lapel.' The vast audience
Instantly responded to his elgnal and aroae
to listen to the brief prayer of the chap
lain. Then followed the usual routine of
tbe opening of a session of the house. The
journal of Wednesday's proceeding was
read by tbe clerk la the customary droning
fashion. By th speaker' direction the
clerk read tbe joint resolution providing
for the memorial service and the order of
the proceedings. Hardly had the reading
been concluded and the journal approved
before the doorkeeper announced the ar

solemnly down the aisle. Justice Gray,

the strict acceptance of tbe term, but today

he was able to make himself heard to the

Secretary Hay's Speech.
Secretary Hay spoke In part as follows:
For the third time the congress Of the
United fits tee Is assembled to commemo
rate the life and the death of a president
slain by the hand of an assassin. The at
tention of the future historian will be at
tracted to the features which reappear
with startling sameness In all three of
these awful crimen the uselessness, the
utter lack of consequence of the act. the
obscurity, the Insignificance of the crim
inal; the blamelessness so far as In our
sphere' of existence the best of men may
be held blameless of the victim. Not one
of our murdered presidents had an enemy
In the world; they were all of such pre
eminent purity of life that no pretext could
be given for the attack of passional crime;
they were all men of democratic Instincts
who could never have offended the most
Iealoua advocates of equality; they were of
ilndly and generous nature, to whom
wrong or Injustice was Impossible; of mod
erate fortune, whose slender means nobody
could envy. They were men of austere
virtue, of tender heart, of eminent abilities,
which they had devoted with single minds
to the good of the republic. If ever men
walked before Ood and man without blame
It wae these three ruler of our people. The
only temptation to attack their llvee ot
tered was their gentle radiance to eyes
hating the light thst was offense enough.
The stupid uselessness of such an Infamy
affronts ths common sense of the world.
Typical American front Birth.
The life of W.iii.Mi. McKlnley wtrs, from
hie birth to his death, typically American.
There Is no environment, 1 should say,
anywhere else In the. world which could
produce just such a character. He was
born Into that way of life which elsewhere
Is called the middle Mass, but -which In
this country la so nearly universal as to
make of other classes an almost negligible
quantity. He was neither rich nor poor,
neither proud nor humble; he knew no
hunger he was not sure of satisfying, no
luxury which could enervate mind or body.
His parents were sober, Ood-fearing people;
Intelligent and upright; without pretension
and without humility. He grew up In the
company of boyg like himself: wholesome.
honest, self-respecting. They looked down
on nobody; they never felt It possible they
could be looked down upon. Their house's
were the homes of probity, piety, patriot
ism. Thev learned In the admirable school
readers of fifty years ago the lessons of
heroic ana splendid lire which have come
down from the nast. Thev read In their
weKiy newspapers tne story ot tne world s
progress, in wnicn tney were eager to take
part, and ot the sins and wrongs ot civili
sation with which they burned to do battle.
it waa a senoua ana tnougntrul time.
Early Military Honors.
The men who are living today and who
Were young in 1860 will never forget the
glory and glamour that filled the earth and
the skv when the long twilight of doubt
and uncertainty waa ending and the time
of action had come. A speech by Abraham
Lincoln waa an event not oniy or nign
moral significance, but of far-reaching im
portance; the drilling of a militia company
by Kilsworth attracted national attention;
the fluttering ot the flag in the clear-sky
drew tear from the eyes of young men.
Patriotism, which had been a rhetorical
in wnicn instinct, logic ana reeling were
fused. The country was worth saving; It
could be saved only by fire; no sacrifice
waa too great; the young men of the coun
try were ready ror tne sacrifice; come weal,
come woe. thev were ready.
At 17 years ot age William McKlnley
heard this aummona of his country. He
enlisted as a private; he learned to obey.
His serious, sensible ways, his promnt.
alert efficiency soon attracted the attention
or his superiors, lie leit tne army witn

It Is to the everlasting honor of both

Begins rolltlcal Career.
Tt rnme naturally about that In 18" the
beginning of the second century of the re
publiche began, by an election to con
gress, his political career. Thereafter for
fourteen veara this chamber was his home.
When he came to the presidency there was
io a dav wnen nis congressional service
not nt use to him. Probably no other
president has been in such fun and cordial
communion with congress. If we may ex
nt Uncnln alone.
Following the natural bent of hla mind
he devoted himself to questions of finance
and revenue, to me eesemiais ui wie na
tional housekeeping. He took high rank
In the house from the beginning.
A year alter MClviniey ieii congress ne
was made governor of Ohio, and two years
later he was re-elected, each time by ma
jorities unhoped-for and overwhelming. He
came to fill a space in the public eye which
obscured a great portion of the field of
vision. In two national conventions the
presidency seemed within his reach. But
he had gone there In the interest of others
and his honor forbade any dalliance with
temptation. 8o hie nay waa nay delivered
with a tone and geattire there was no deny
ing. His hour was not yet come.
Only Candidal, for President.
There waa. however, no long delay. He
became, from year to year, the most prom
inent politician ana orator in ine country.
For several months before the republican
national convention mat in latfti it waa evi
dent to all who had eyea to see that Mr.
McKlnley waa tne oniy proDaoie canuioate
of his party. Other names were men
tioned, of the higheat rank In ability,
character and popularity; they were aup
ported by powerful combinations; but the
nomination of McKlnley as against the
field waa Inevitable.
The campaign he made will be always
memorable In our political annala. He and
hla frlenda haa tnuugnt mat tne issue tor
the year was the distinctive and historic
difference between the two parties on the
subject of the tariff. 'To thla wager of
battle the diacuaslona ot the previous four
years distinctly pointed. But no sooner nad
l lie iwu ymt .......... a . .
than it became evident that the opposing
candidate declined to accent the Held of
dlacuaaion chosen by the republicans, and
proposed to put forward as tne nmln Issue
the free coinage of silver. McKlnley at
once accepted this challenge, and. taking
the battle for protection aa already won,
went with energy Into the discussion of the
theorlea presented Dy nis opponents.
Urate I'roblesua losfrssl Hla..
When he came to the presidency he con
fronted a aituation of the utmost difficulty.
which might well have appalled a' man of
less serene ana tranquil seir-conndenre
There had been a state of profound com'
menial and Induatriul depression, from
which hla frlenda had Bald hla election

with the outside world left much to be de
aired. The feeling between the northern
and southern sections ot tne union was
lucking In the cordiality which was neces
sary to the welfare of both Hawaii hud
asked for annexation and had been rejected
by tbe preceding administration. There
was a state of things in the Carlbuean
which could not permanently endure. Our
neighbor's house was on Are and there
were grave doubta aa to our Hunts and
dutlea In the premises. A man either weak
or rash, either. Irresolute or headstrong,
might have brought ruin on himself and
Incalculable harm to the country.
The leist desirable form of glory to a
man of his habitual mood ana temper
that ot successful war waa nevertheless
conferred upon him by nncontrollable
events. He felt it must come; he deplored
its necessity; he strained slmost to break
ing his relations with his friends. In order,
first, to prevent and then to postpone It to
the latest possible moment, but when the
die waa cast he labored with the utmost
energy and ardor, and with an intelligence
In military matters which showed how
much of the soldier still survived In tbe
mature statesman to push forward the war
to a decisive close. War was au angiilah
to him; he wanted It abort and conclusive.
Hla merciful seal communicated Itself to
his subordinates, and tne war, ao long
dreaded, whose consequences were so mo
mentous, ended In luu osys.
Mr. Btedman. the dean of our noela. has
tailed him ' Aagiueulec of ths State.' It
is a proud title: If Justly conferred. It
ranks him among the few whose names
may be placed definitely and forever In
chft of the historic muse. Under his
rufe Hawaii has come to us. and Tutulla;
Porto RI-o and the vast archlpelseo of the
east. Cuba Is free. Our nosltlon In ;'ic
Caribbean Is assured beyond the possi
bility of future question. The dm trine
called by the name of Monroe, so long de
rided and denied by alien publicists, evokes
now no challenge or contradiction when ut
tered to the world. It hss become an In
ternational truism. Our slater republic to
the south of us are convinced thnt we de
sire only their peace and prosperity.
Kurope knows that we cherish no aream
but those of world-wide commerce, the
benefit ot which shall be to all nation.
The state Is augmented, but It threatens
no nation under heaven. Aa to those re
gions which have Come under the shadow
of our flag, the possibility of their being
damaged by such a change of circum
stances waa In the view of McKlnley a

clared Itself, as In China. In a state of
things of which our history furnished no
precedent and International law no safe

moment to take the course marked out for
him by considerations of humanity and the
national interests.
Vast Ktoaosilrsl D. el.paaea ta.
But the achievement of the nation In
war and diplomacy are thrown in the shade
by the vast economical developments which
took piace auring Mr. Airmniey s adminis

though we borrowed t2uO.fl0U.Mn and paid
our own expenses, without asking for In
demnity, the effective reduatton of the debt
now exceeds the total of the war bonds.
We nay I6.onn.ouD leas In Interest than we
did before the war and no bond of the
cnlted States yields the holder I per cent
oq lta market value, tto much for the
government credit, and we have S564,0Q0,)O0
of gross geld In the treasury.
But, coming to the development or our
trade In the tour McKlnley years, we seem
to be entering the realm of fable. In the
last fiscal year our excess of exports over
Imports was. H.S.n:6. In the last four
years It was (2,364,442,213. , These figures
are so stupendous that they mean little to
a careless reader but consider! The excess
of exports over Import lor the whole pre
ceding period from 1"!K) to 1S97 from Wash
ington to McKlnley was only 366,808,R22.
The most extravagant promises made bv
the sanguine McKlnley advocates five years J
HU ire leu uui vi infant lliesv sutler
facts. The "debtor nation" has become the
chief creditor nation. The financial renter
of the world, which required thousands of
years to Journey from the Euphrstes to the
Thames and the Heine, seems passing to
the Hudson between daybreak and dark.
We should be ungrateful. If In this hour
of prodigious prosperity we should fail to
remember that William McKlnley with sub
lime faith foresaw It, with Indomitable
courage labored for It, put his whole heart
and mind into the work of bringing It
about; that It was his voice which, In dark
hours, rang out, heralding the coming light,
as over the twilight waters of the Nile the
mystic cry of Memnon announced the dawn
to Egypt, waking from eleep.
Mr. McKlnley was re-elected by an over
whelming majority. He hoped In hla second
term to accomplish substantial results in
the development and affirmation of his
policies. 1 spent a day with him shortly
before he started on hla fateful Journev to
Buffalo. Never had 1 seen him higher in
hope and patriotic confidence. He waa aa
sure of the future of his country ss the
Psalmist who cried. "Glorious things are
spoken of thee, thou city of God. He
was gratified to the heart that we had
arranged a treaty which gave us a free
hand In the Isthmus. In fancy he saw the
canal already built and the argosies of the
world passing through it in peace and
amity. He saw in the Immense evolution
of American trade the fulfillment of all
nis dreams, tne rewara ot an his labors
On Threshold or Eteralty.
In that mood of high hope, of generous
expectation, ne went to nuiraio. and there,
on the threshold of eternity, he delivered
that memorable speech, worthy for Its
loftiness of tone, its blameless morality.
Its breadth of view, to be regarded as hla
testament to the nation. He stood that
dav nast master of the art or statesman
ship. He had nothing more to ask of the
people. He owed them nothing but truth
and faithful service. His mind and heart
were purged of the temptations which beset
all men engaged In the struggle to survive.
In view of the revelation of his nature
vouchsafed to us that day, and the fate
which Impended over him, we can only say
In deep affection and solemn awe,' "Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they shall see
Ood." Even for that vision he was not
unworthv.
He had not long to wait. The next day
aped the bolt of doom, and for a week
after In an agony of dread broken by Il
lusive glimpses of hope, that our prayers
might be answered the nation waited for
the end. Nothing In the glorious life that
we saw gradually waning vras more ad
mlrable and exemplary than Its close. The
gentle humanity of his words, when he
saw his assailant in danger of summary
vengeance, "Don't let them hurt him,
hi chivalrour care that the news should
be broken gently to his wife; the fine
courtesy with which he apologized for the
damage which his death would bring to
the great exnioition, ana tne heroic resig
nation of his final worda. "It le Ood's wav.
His will, not ours, be done," were all the
instinctive expreanions or a nature so lofty
and so pure that pride In Its nobility at
once softened and enhanced the nation's
sense of loss.
The moral value to a nation of a renown
such as Washington's and Lincoln's and
MclClnley's Is beyond all computation. No
loftier Ideal can be held up to the emula
tion ot Ingenuous youth. With such ex
amples we can I'.ot be wholly Ignoble.
Grateful aa we may be for what they did,
let ua be still more grateful for what they
were. While our dally being, our public
policies, still feel the Influence ot their
work, let us pray mat in our spirits tneir
lives may be voluble, calling us upward
nd onwatu.
There Is not one of us but feels prouder
of his native land beca'use the august
figure i of Washington presided over Its
beginnings; no one but vows It a tenderer
love because Lincoln poured out his blood
tor It; no one but must feel hi devotion
for his country renewed and kindled when
he remembers how McKlnley loved, re
vered and served It, showed In hla life
how a cltlxen should live, and In his laat
hour taught us how a gentleman could die.
President Joins ta Applanae.
Throughout the delivery of the speech
the audience listened with great interest,
but the peroration, coupling together for
all time, tbe names of Washington and
Lincoln and McKlnley, seemed to Impress
the hearers, and aa Secretary Hay uttered
the last solemn worda, tbe spectators broke
Into a perfect storm of applause, which
lasted for several minutes. The president
himself seemed aa If deeply Impressed as
those about blm and both he and the mem
bera of the cabinet were quite as enthusi
astic as tbe remainder of tbe audience.
Tbe benediction wsa delivered by Rev.
Mllburn, and to tbe atralna of "Lead,
