the proper nlcervune e In Scrantmi of
this .ad invasion, Is to b commended,
and the propo.-ed plan to hold a great
memorial seiviie in the Armory to

Approso.l by every ilght-mluded citi
zen. No man, woman or child who is
physically and mentally able to enter
into tho Mdrlt of such eerclses In
honor of the foiemost man of il nid
ation of our times, should lie absent
lioni this meeting. Places of business
ate oideied to b closed. The feeling
In this i otinniiulty, full of loyal work
Insmi'ii ait'l loyal employers of labor,
13 unanimous in that the gilef of the
nation touches every heart.
The services In tlio Ainiory nie -ry

Ten year ngo the name of McKlnley

'T IS CHAnACTKniSTIC of Then.
tdoro Roosevelt that one of his
first determinations in tho try
ing place of president by sue
cession ts to put from him absolutely
ill thought of personal political am
"bltlon. His announcement at Huffalo
to a friend that he has given himself
unconditionally to tht carrying forward
"of President McKlnley's policy and that
lie Is In no sense a candidate for elec
tion In 1001 Is like the man. It Is tho
"frtalemrnt of ono whoso word has never
been Questioned, and It will odd largely
to his already firm hold upon public
confidence and rnteeui.
We believe that this much may be
nald with perfect propriety ut this time
an a matter of justice. To have It un
jderatood at tho earliest possible nio-
mrnt that the new administration Ik
to be ttnsoll1hly loyal to the old, and
guided without leferelice to personal
ambition, Is In such tlioiough keeping
with the splilt of the solemn occasion
that It constitutes an essential pint of
the iiiemoilal observances.
Years ago, when In Washington ns
a member of the civil set vice commis
sion, lloosevelt Wlole to n iilelid: "It
seems to me that a Hum's romfoit and
usefulness In public are gieatly Im
palled the moment he begins to get
woirylng about how his m lions will af
fect his own lulure. When 1 was In
the leglslatme I soon loiind that for
my own happlne-n as well as for the
sake of doing good wmk 1 had to
east aside all thoughts of my own fit
tine; and as soon as 1 had made up
my own mind to this and voted simply
as I thMight light, not only dlstegard
Ing politicians, but even disregarding
people themselves, If I honestly thought
them all wiong on a matter of prin
ciple, not of mere expediency, then 1
began thoroughly to enjoy myself ami
to feel that 1 wa.s doing good, It
Is Jut tho same way with my pres
out woik as civil service commissioner.
1 believe 111 It with all my heait, and
am absolutely ceitaln that 1 could not
possibly be engaged In any other work
at the present moment inoro vitally
Important to the public welfare; ami I
literally do not eate a rap what poli
ticians say of me, in or out of eon
giess. save in so far im my actions
may help or hint the cause for which
1 am working."
Me is evidently of the same mind to
day, and It is a good mind to maintain.
When the time shall come to discuss
1!)04 the people themselves will attend
to that.
The new president's lequest to the
old cabinet to continue In place
thioughout hW term s, under th cir
cumstances, in the n.itiiiii of a com
mand. It Is exceedingly gratlfyln:? to
tin- people, and Is another !lii" proof of
Theodoii; Itoosevelt's sagacity and
manliness,
Secrctnry Cortelyou.
IT Ki:Ki)I'i:XTI.V happens that
while men lu high ollice, under
the glaie of publicity, receive
wldespiead credit for superior
qualities, other men, iiNo great, but
laboilng In a subordinate relation
ship, gain deserved lecognltlon only
fioni the lew who see their merit de
monstrated. A man of modest and self-ietiilng
nature, but of great ability, who has
earned the gratitude and conlldciu e of
the American people lu the tiylng af
lllctlon through which the nation has
passed Is (leoigc H. I'oi tclyou, the pri
vate secietary of the dead chief,
of whom the Pittsburg Times well
says: "Mr. Cortclvou was with the
piesldent when the assassin llred the
fatal shot. Fiom that moment until
the end came Mr. Coitolvou was bur
dened with the gravest responsibili
ties, which he cut tied without a sin
gle failure. It was he who attended
to the ariaugemeiits for the opeia
tion upon the president, and who
passed in judgment upon everything
except matteiH leipiliing technical
knowledge, lie saw that the people
were apprised c onttantly of the con
dition of the patient, and that the tid
ings given out were accurate and com
prehensive. Mr. I'ortolyou dealt with
the people as candidly as ho could
lmvo dona with his own household.
Kvery development was given to the
newspapeis and press associations at
onio and without evasion.
"In all of the trjlng period he stood
for the people In their relation with
the sick bedside, lie kept constantly
lu in I nil the pilvate affalis of the pres
ident, lie gave attention to multi
farious duties ailsiug front tho unus
ual situation, answering demands up
on bis time and energy. So conserva
tive an organization as tho Associat
ed ness, never mucn given to per
sonal compliment, makes mention of
the admirable manner in which Mr.
Cortelyou discharged his nunieious
tasks, and the Associated Piess, hand
ling many columns of telegraphic mes
sage's dally, has been lu position to
realize his helplulness. His work is
jiot yet llnlshrd. Tnlll tho earth
doses over tho coflln Mr. Cortelvou
will continue his louslderate and tin t
f ill direction of atfalrs. It Is only when
he comes In this way betoro the gaze
of the people that the country com
prehends what the man has done lu
his ollli lal capacity as the secietary
to the president of the l'nlted States."
It has been said that Major McKln
ley appi eclated so keenly the loyalty
anil exceptional cllUiency of his sec-
ictaiy that ho was only waiting for
a suitable oppoitunlty to advance Mr.
Cortelyou to a field of labor In which
his splendid finalities would have a
better chance to win public recog
nition. Should this Intention bo ful
lllled by President lloosevelt. wo be
lieve that It would meet with very
general public; appiobutlon.
It Is noteworthy that from our fel-low-cltlzens
of tho South come somo
of the most eloquent nnd genuine ex
pressions of grief nnd tiibuto voiced
nnywhere. Mr. McKlnley was a North
erner, a Union war veteran and a Re
publican, but ho so shaped his words
nnd acts as to dtsaim sectional preju
dice, touch tho liner chords of southern
character nnd conttibuto more than
nny other American to tho complete
effacoment of dividing memories.
The Roosevelt Prop;ramme.
AMOItK liberal nnd extensive
leclproclty In tho purchase
and salo of commodities, so
o
so
ew, so
that tho overproduction of
this country can bo satisfactorily dis
posed of by fair nnd eaultnblo niiange
ment with foreign countries. Tho
abolition entirely of commercial war
with1 other commies and tho adoption
of reciprocity treaties. The abolition
of melt tariffs on foreign goods as nro
no longer needed for revenue, If such
abolition can be had without 'harm to
our indittitrlcs and labor. Tho estab
lishment of direct commercial Hues
between the eastern coast of the
United States and the potts In South
America and tho Pa cilia coast ports of
Mexico, Central America and South
America, Thi encouraging of tho mer
olmnt marine and the building of whlpa
which fiiall carry the American flag
and be owned and controlled by Ameri
cans a nd American capital. The build
ing and completion as s mil as possi
ble of th" Isthmian canal, so as to give
dliect water commiiiiicatiou with the
coasts of Ci'iittal America, South
America and Mexico. The construc
tion of a cable owned by the govern
ment, lonncctlng our mainland with
our foielgn possessions, notably Ha
waii and the Philippines. The Use of
conciliatory methods of aibltiatlon lu
all disputes with foreign nations, so
as to avoid arm -il stilfc The protec
tion of the savings of tho people lu
banks and lu other folios of Invest
ments by tho presivatlou of tho com
meuial prospeilty of tho country and
the placing In positions of trust men
of only the highest Integrity. In otli'.-r
words, McKlnleylsiu carried forward.
Coincide nccs abound 111 connection
with the lluffalo tragedy. One of tlie
latest to be noted Is that President
Oat Hold's death occurred on the same
day of the month fixed for President
McKlnley's burial at Canton, the an
nlversaiy of the battle of Clilcka
maligna, in which tieneral llarlleld
took a conspicuous pari. Furthermore,
yesterday, the day of he McKlnley
luncral cervices at Washington, was
also tho anniversary of the battle of
Antletam, In which Mr. McKlnley's
conduct was so heroic as to elicit spe
cial mention by his commanding olll
cer, Colonel, afterward President
Hayes. Strangely, Indeed, do the
threads of our history Intertwine.
As showing how rapidly the scythe
of time Is cutting down the veteran
soldleiy of tho Civil war, In tho ten

Only a few years ago the papeis
