.McKinley on tlie Election.
At the "Founders Day banquet at
l.'nion League in Philadelphia, last
Saturday evening. President McKinley
made a speech in which he said:
"ffe are always in danger of exaggera
tion on an occasion of exultation over a
political victory, and while the result is
mainly due to the effort? of our splendid
party, there is sometimes a tendency to
give too little credit to other forces,
which, silent though they may have
been, were none the less potent We
must not withhold generous acknowl
edgement fron that great body of our
citizens whe, belonging to another
party, powerfully assisted in the achieve
ment of the result which you celebrate
to-night, nor from that other large body
former members of our own party, who,
with honesty of purpose separated from
as a few years ago on financial issues,
have now returned and are home again
to stay.
"Nor is any accounting for the victo
ry either just or accurate which leaves
out of the calculation the almost un
broken column of labor engaged in
mechanics and agriculture which re
jected the false doctrine of class dis
tinction as having no place in this re
public, and which rebuked those teach
ings which would destroy the faith of
American manhood in American char
acter and American institutions. The
business men in every part of the coun
try, typified by this great organization,
were a mighty factor in the recent con
test. And may we not also ascribe
much to the influence of the home with
Its affiliations* In any previous election
was it greater, or in any did the counsel
of the fireside determine more largely
the vote of the electors?
"Nothing in government can be more
impressive than a National election,
where the people delegate their power
and invest their constitutional agents
with authority to execute their behests.
The very character of the transaction
clothes it with solemnity. It is serious
business. Its issues are al ways moment
nous. What a lesson in self -government
it teaches. Sixteen million voters on
the same day, throughout every section
of the United States, depositing their
mandate and recording their will
Done by the people in their own com
munities, in the very precincts of the
home, under the supervisions of their
fellow-citizens and'ehosen officials, and
to insure its freedom and independence,
the ballot a secret one. God forbid that
any citizen selected for that sacred trust
should ever attempt to divert the will of
the sovereign people or tamper with the
sanctity of their ballots,
"Some disappointments follow all elec
' tions. but all men rejoice when an elec
tion is so decisive as to admit of neither
dispute nor contest, The value of a
National yictory can only be rightly
measured and appreciated by what it
averts as well as by what it accomplishes.
It is fortunate for the party in power
if it understands the true meaning of
the result. Charged by the people with
administration and legislation, they are
required to interpret as well as to exe
cnte the public will, and its rightful in
terpretation is essential to its faithful
execution.
"We cannot overestimate the great
importance and the far-reaching conse
quences of the electoral contest which
ended on the sixth of November. It
has, to me, no personal phase. It is not
the triumph of an individual, nor alto
gether of a party, bnt an emphatic dec
laration by the people of what they
believe and would have maintained in
government. A great variety of subjects
was presented and discussed in the prog
ress of the campaign. We may differ
as to the extent of the influence of the
several issues involved, but we are all
agreed as to certain things which it set
tied.

• The Chinese Puzzle.
The United States, actuated by what
are deemed to be the interests of human
ity, has appealed to the Powers not to
let the negotiations at Peking come to
naught through failure to invoke
agencies other than the Ministers at the
Chinese capital for a settlement of the
great questions in issne. Not being
ashamed to express the opinion that the
negotiations appear to Is) in danger of
failing this Government asks the Powers
if they will not say what they think
al»out taking the subject out of the
hands of the Ministers, who, having
suffered indignities at the hands of the
Chinese, are not able to consider the
matter in an entirely judicial manner.
PemiHylvaiiiH Post-ollices.
The annual report of J. L, Bristow,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General,
shows that Pennsylvania ranks second
as to the number of Presidential j»ost
oftlcrs, having 300, of which 14 are of
the first class, 7H of the second, and 217
of the third class. This Is an increase
of II over last year. First class are
those in which the receipts are over S4O,
000 a year, the salary of the postmaster
ranging from $3,000 to SO,OOO. Those of j
the second clam are where the gro-s re
ceipts are between SW,OM) and $40,0<)0,
and the salaries are from $2,000 to #2,-
900. while a third.class office is one in
which the receipts are lietween $1,900
and SB,OOO, and the salary from SI,OOO
to $1,900. The report says: "The mini
lier of Presidential postofflces in a State
may Is- safely regarded as an index of
the industry and commercial activity of
its people. In this scale New V ork
ranks first, Pennsylvania second, Illi
nois third, lowa fourth and Ohio fifth.
Pennsylvania holds the first rank
with regard to fourth class postoffices.or
those where the receipts are less than
$1,900 a year and the salary less than
$250 per quarter for four consecutive
quarters. There are I 948 of these in
Pennsylvania, Virginia, strange to *sy,
ranking next, with New York and < >hio
in tie third and fourth places. Penn
sylvania, however, ranks twenty fifth
as to average compensation of the i>o*t
masters, it being only slH|.{ii>. while in
Massachusetts, where the compensa
tion is the highest, it is SBSO 89. The
gro-H postal receipts in Pennsylvania are
$8,835. 598.01, ranking after New York
with $17,415,207.39, and Illinois with
$10,022,503.98. The amount expended
in use of the mails per head of the pop
illation is #1.40, which puts P'-nri

Vmba-satlorC'hoate<>n Lincoln.
Ambassador Choate address?.-d the
Edinburg, Scotland. Philosophical So
ciety. recently. His subject was Abra
ham Lincoln. It was an a bit* and schol
arly performance. The best part of it
wa» his description of Lincoln s speech
in Cooper Instirnte. New York, because
it gives as a vivid and life like portrait
of this "true born kins of men. " He
said:
' It is now forty years since I first
saw and heard Abrahrm Lincoln, but
the impression which be left on my
mind is ineffaceable. After his great
success in the West he came to New
York to make a political address. He
appeared in every sense of the word
like one of the fdain people among
whom he loved to be counted. At first
sight then- was nothing impressive
inq>osing about him--except that bis
great stature singled him out from the
crowd his clothes hung awkwardly on
his giant frame, his face was of a dark
pallor, without the slightest tinge of
color: his seamed and rugged features
bore the furrows of hardship and strug
gle: his deep-set eyes looked sad and
anxious: his countenance in repose gave
little evidence of that brain power
which had raised him from the lowest
to the highest station among his coun
trymen : as he talked to me before the
meeting, he seemed ill at ease, with
that sort ot apprehension which a young
man might feel before presenting him
self to a new and strange audience,
whose critical disposition he dreaded.
It was a great andience. including all
the noted men— all the learned and cul
tured -of his party in New York;editors,
clergymen, statesmen, lawyers, mer
chants. and critics. They were all very
curious to hear him. His fame as a
powerful speaker had preceded him. and
exaggerated rumor of his wit —the worst
forerunner of an orator—had reached
the East. When Mr. Bryant presented
him. on the high platform of the Cooper
Institute, a vast sea of upturned faces
greeted him. full of intense curiosity to
-ee what this rude child >f the people
was like. He wa9 equal to the occasion.
When he spoke he was transformed:
his eyes kindled, his voice rang, his
face shone and seemed to light up th<*
whole assembly. For an hour and a
half he held his audience in the hollow
of his hand. His style of ipeech and
manner of delivery were severely sim
ple What Lowell called "the grand
simplicities of the Bible, with which
he was so familiar, were reflected in his
discourse. With no attempt at orna
ment or rhetoric, without parade or
pretence, he spoke straight to the
point If any came expecting the tur
ged eloquence or the ribaldry of the
frontier, they must have been startled
at the earnest and sincere purity of his
utterances. It was marvelous to see
how this untutored man, by mere self
discipline and the chastening of his
own spirit, bad outgrown all meretri
cious arts, and found his own way to
the grandeur and strength of absolute
simplicity.
' He spoke upon the theme which he
had mastered so thoroughly. He dem
onstrated by copious historical proofs
and masterly logic that the fathers who
created the constitution in order to
form a more perfect union, to establish
justice and to secure the blessings of
liberty to themselves and their poster
ity. intended to empower the Federal
Government to exclude slavery from
the territories. In the kindliest spirit he
protested against the avowed threat of
the Southern States to destroy the
Union if, in order to secure freedom in
those vast regions, out of which future
States were to be carved, a Repulican
President was elected. He cloaed with
an appeal to his andience, spoken with
all the fire of hi* aronsed and kindling
conscience, with a full out-pouring of
his love of justice and liberty, to main
tain their political purpose on that
lofty and unassailable issue of right
and wrong which alone could jnstifv it.
and not be intimidated from their re
solve and sacred duty by any threats
of destruction to Government or ruin to
themselves. He concluded with this
telling sentence, which drove the ar
gument home to our hearts: "Let us
have faith that right makes might, and
in that faith let us to the end dare to do
our duty as we may understand it
That night the great hall, and the next
day the whole city, rang with delight
ed applause and congratulations, and
he who came as a stranger departed
with the laurels of a great triumph.
i THE great speculation in New York
and Brooklyn elevated and surface line
stocks has drawn attention anew to the
extraordinary hairiness done in moving
the population of Greater New York to
and fro. The reports for 1900 will show
approximately 700,000,000 passengers
carried,yielding a revenue of $35,000,000
to the companies. The Brooklyn Rapid
Transit has a greater mileage than all
the other companies combined, the total
being 515 miles. The stock capitaliza
tion and indebtedness of these several
systems foot up close to $250,000,000.
Modern Barbarism.
The custom of burning people at the
stake in punishment for heinous crimes
seems to be spreading. Heretofore it
has been confined almost exclusively
to the South. But out in "Colorado lately
a negro boy, aged sixteen years, was
chained to an iron post and burned to
death amid the most horrible agonies.
The wood was piled up to his knees and
set fire to. The details of (he scene
were horrible beyond description The
screams and contortions of the victim
who writhed and prayed and pleaded to
be shot, were certainly not edifying to
the three hundred men who witnessed
the tragedy. He had committed a
terrible crime, the gssanlt and murder
of a little girl aged eleven vears. But
this fact in itself proved that he was a
physiological monstrosity, a degenerate
without human instincts. The theory
probably is that by inflicting inhuman
punishment upon one of this class of
creatures, others might be terrorized
and prevented fron committing sioiilar
crimes. The theory is not good. Yon
cannot cure cruelty and brutality by
setting of still greater cruelty.
And those intelectual freaks who are
capable of coininiting such crimes are
as insensible to terror as to other senti
ments. Yon might a>i well burn a tiger
or hyena at the stake with the idea of
deterring other tigers and hyenas from
pursuing the instincts which prompt
them t<> kill men and rob graves. '1 he
negroes who are capable of committing
these crimes probably never see a news
paper or eyen hear of these burnings at
the stake. The only effect then is to
demoralize the men who take part, and
to some extent all who read about it.
Beside it lessens our respect for the
majesty of the law, and scandalizes the
whole country, giving foreign nations
the notion that we are a half barbarous
people And too, in these hasty execu
tions by a furious mob, there is always
danger of executing the wong person,
'libit is not an age for burning people at
the stake. Spirit
