We have no words at our command
to xpr^Ha our indignation and horror
tit 'he cowardly inhuman deed by
whi'di the president of the i’nited !
States was stricken down at Buffalo j
"ast Friday. At this writing he is
gtil: alive, and the prayers of the!
whole country will gq up to (jod.
that he may pass through the try- f
ing ordeal and be spared to fulfill his |
high mission on earth
Politically we are not a believer in
>lr. McKinley, but as president of
tin United States we hold that his
person ought to be sacred and invio
lable, and no punishment is too se
vere for the dastard who dared to
lift his pr ifane band against his life
There i§ too much liberty in this
country. There are beings in the
shapj of men, who should be bunted
down and exterminated as wild
beasts. An avowed anarchist, whose
•retd is to abolish uli government by
slaying all the rulers, who openly
proposes to banish aii authority and
plunge society into chaotic confusion
— what right has such a creature to
ii\>?
Within a little over ujthlrd of a een-
turythree presidents of the United
Suites,have been stricken down by the j
hand of the assassin Yetjrspubiieai.
iusUtfions have not given birtb to
nr.arcM nor nurtun-d asM^sination.

a’^rki. and the crowned head# of

ti >i,s of bayonets, an- not safe from

Doesn’t it know that as fast as one
ru er is stricken down, there is an-
ei.' cr tc slfp i»• to ins place, and ihm
t ( :.ll tfjfc rulers in the world were
sV t>t tr*'tu power at one mighty
cognized in the wild cctnfnsion of
sounds, but growing more and more
distinct until men stop and listen,
hear, and are convinced, and these
quiet thinkers are proved to be the
indestructible nuclei around which
public sentiment must and will
slowly but steadily crystallize.

things else, a spirit of iairness is
needed among our people. Nothing
but harmony and friendship can ex
ist between two men of whatever
station or employment w'.t»en each
recognizes the other’s rights And both
are disposed te act fairly, and so it
must ever be among different riasses,
for classes are Vat aggregations of
I individual men. There are rights
1 that belong peca>'.'i»rly to each' class
of society uud the:', there are gifierm
rights in which ail classes have
! -qival shares. Capital has rightH pe- I
j cu!:«r to itself; labor has rights- ex- J
^ clusively its own: and then the_v is
common ground upon which both
may meet on terms at perfect equal- .
! ity. There would b© neither j j
ousy nor animosity between the t >o.
if each would recognize the other's •
rights and scrupulously refrain from

in whatever form it may appear.
It is true that the judgment may
b>- so warped by prejudice or swayed
by passion, that the line between
right and wrong, between fairness
and unfairness may for a time be so
obscured as not to be discernable;
but sooner or later the deep seusr
>f right, the innate love of justice
implanted in human nature by the
hand of the Creator will assert itself
It may emerge from the clouds of
passion in a day, or it may be smoth
ered for a thousand years, while al
the time wrong prevails and whole
nations run riot in madness and
fully claiming to be doing God ser
vice; but tlie leaven of right and
justice though hidden, is yet aliv-
and slowly doing its work, and the
time will come when higher ideals
will be reached and truth apd justice
wil! prevail.
But such ideal-, are not reached
without the use of adequate means
When it appeared to the prophet
" hat he alone of the whole Jewish
face remained true to the God of his
ancestors, there were yet seven
thousand in Israel that had not
bowed the knee to Baal; and so in
all times, even when a whole nation
or the whole world seems to have
gpme after false gods, and wickedness
and wrong seem to have gained a
complete and permanent triumph
fihere are always a few whose minds
have not been perverted and whose
hearts have cot been corrupted. They
are Jthe repositories of truth and
right, and justice, and they guard
these in sacred silence or raise their
voices now and then in earnest pr<<-

Miss Ida E'tnore took its High' from
its earthly habitation of clay to its

victim of fever. She had not enjoyed
good health since her return from
college last June. She will be missed
tty her friends, especially her Sunday-
School class. Miss Lia was only 15
years of age, just blooming into
womanhood. It is sad that she was
taken from our midst so early in life.
Her remains were taken to Forest
