In all the history of the country there was never such an exhibition of univers al mourning for » public man as that which made the day of President Mc- Kinley 'a funeral memorable. The most impressive feature of the day was not the funeral at Canton,profoundly touch ing as that must have been; it was not the formal public meetings, imposing as they were; it was rather the unpremed itated gathering of the people every where in their churches, in a spirit ot reverent devotion, and the nearly com plete cessation of all worldly pursuits, which was not the result of proclama tion or ordinance but was a wholly spontaneous expression of true senti ment. No public occasion can be recalled when the abstention from business was so universal Men who habitually dis regard or evade the laws for the ob servance of Sunday, closed their shops without any command or invitation to do so, as though moved by a common impulse of sorrow and sympathy. It was not a mere holiday; it was a day of universal mourning. Business and industry were suspend ed in Butler last Thursday afternoon while the funeral services were being conducted at Canton, and onr churches were filled with people assembled to gether for public prayer. The largest -gathering was in the First Presbyterian at 3 p. m. Revs. Oiler, Prugh, McKee, Worrell, Barlow, Enterline and White occupied the pulpit, and addresses were made by Thos. Robinson, J. D. McJunkin, and James M. Galbreath. In the First Eng. Lutheran Rev. T. B. Roth delivered a brief and pointed sermon at 2 p. m. In the morning at eleven o'clock prayer services were held in the Epis copal church. At 9 a. m. in the High School chapel the pupils of that school and 9th grade assembled. Sect'y Corry of the Y. M. C. A. read the 112 th Psalm and J. M. Galbreath, Esq., made an address which his young hearers will remember for many days. He dwelt on the character istics of President McKinley and his inspiring motives. "GOD and man have linked the na tions together. No nation can longer be indifferent to any other." Thus spoke President McKinley at Buffalo the day before the tragic attack on his life, and a striking and impressive exemplification of the truth of his words is found in the spontaneous outburst of respectful feel ing that the calamity of which he was the victim has evoked in all parts of the civilized world. It is marvelous, as he reminded us, how modern invention has brought the nations together, so that news encircles the globe in a few min utes, how swift steamships and locomo tives permit ns to travel from one coun try to another and from hemisphere to hemisphere, how science and education give us common interest and under standing, how the products of industry may be transported thousands and thousands of miles to market. The rews of thte great disaster which oyertook President McKinley and the American nation when he was [stricken down by the Anarchist was flashed around the world, bringing horror to untold mil lions of men, whose sympathy has been poured out during the past fortnight in an unceasing stream. "God and man have linked the na tions together" not only in a mechanical sense, but spiritually and intellectually. Having learned to know each other better they have found a common ground for sympathy. They under stand the meaning of affliction, and a great catastrophe like this makes all the peoples under the sun into one family. Moral Tone of The Public. A discussion of -"The Ills of Pennsyl vania," by a "brilliant Pfennay 1 vanian," is a feature of the October Atlantic Monthly. A perusal of advance sheets of the article gives the impression that the "brilliant Pennsylvanian" is well informed concerning the political ills from which this great Commonwealth suffers, but that he does not go as deep ly into a diagnosis of the case as be might. His general conclusion is that a corrupt public sentiment underlies all the political corruption which astonishes residents of other States. He supports it with some significant details of how business men, clergymen and fanners are bought to do the will of the machine. It need not be denied that the writer's details are truthful. Everyone who knows much 'of Pennsylvania politics might duplicate the incidents mention ed out of his personal knowledge or ex perience. But it does not follow that the whole people of Pennsylvania are more corrupt than those of other States. He who has intimate knowledge of the politics of New York, New Jersey, West Virginia and Ohio may also cite in stances of the buying of votes in the rural regions, the securing of political endorsements from men of high stand ing through the voting of appropria tions and the obtaining of large funds for political purposes and voting orders for employes as a return for the grant of franchises. Those things are not peculiar to Pennsylvania, nor are they condoned by the ordinary citizens of this State. The the common people of Pennsylvania is as honest as that of other States. The difference is that the Pennsylvania sense of injury from the things mentioned is leas acute—has be come blnnted by frequent contact with the evil. The mass of people in this State are prosperous in spite of their many political wrongs and there fore more tolerant of impositions than if such impositions made them feel the sting of poverty. That is the difference in the public. The other difference is in the management of the machine. For fifty years or so it has been marked by unscrupulous ability of an unusual order. The "brilliant Pennsylvania!!" who writes the political ills of his State is no more brilliant than those who are primarily responsible for the trouble, though he seems to have even less hope of a public awakening than the political bosses have fear of such a result.—Dis patch. THE NEW PRESIDENT. As the new President takes tip the re sponsibilities and duties that haye come to him so suddenly, the good wishes of the whole Nation go ont to him with a confidence *hat should give him encour agement and strength. Mr. Roosevelt's bearing in the *)eri»>d of mourning has inspired both personal esteem and official trust. The country is assured that the calamity it has suffered has left its in stitutions unshaken, its politics un changed, and that the government will go forward as President McKinley would have wished it to go, guided by a pa triotic spirit, in the way of peace, se curity and honor. Rarely has a change of Presidents in volved so little actual change in the ad ministration as seems now assured. When Vice President Tyler succeeded on the death of President Harrison, there was no immediate change in the Cabinet, and Mr. Webster remained at its head for two years, during which time the Ashburton treaty was nego tiated. The disintegration of the Cabinet began, however, within a few months and Tyler's administration de parted widely from the lines that Har rison was expected to pursue. Mr. Filmore formed his own Cabinet promptly, recalling Mr. Webster in Mr. Clayton's place. On Mr. John son's accession, on the other hand, the whole Cabinet remained, and the breach with Congress that followed was attrib utable as much to the President's per sonality as to his policy. It is not to be forgotten that in Johnson's administra tion the first acquisition of detached territory was made by the United States by the Secretary who had served with Lincoln.- The change from Garfield to Arthur distorted partv leadership more than public policy. Some changes in per sonal influence are likely to result from Rooesvelt's succession, but the factional divisions as they were then have been to a large degree obliter ated, while the clearly ex pressed purpose of the new President to continue the administration of his pre decessor without change shuts the door upon the self-seeking intrigue that us ually accompanies a change in the Presidential office. There is no un certainty about Mr. Roosevelt's reso lute hostility to the doctrine of spoils. Only the incapable and unfit need be afraid of him and it is only for the im provement of the service that he need be expected to make new appointments. The country is absolutely assured against the demoralizing abuse of public pat ronage and the mere spoilsman will have little opportunity to disturb the new President in his public duties. The present members of the Cabinet have all been closely associated with the deserved success of the McKinley admin istration and their retention in office con tributes greatly to the confidence with which the country greets its new Chief Executive. It is to Mr. Hay that we very largely owe that judicious diplo matic policy that has gained for this nation the respect of all the world, and in harmony with Mr. Roosevelt's own stalwart Americanism we may expect this broad policy to extend more and more the influence of the United States, gaining new conquests of peace in se curity and honor. Mr. Root's wise and skillful guidance of the War Department, which never before, even in time of actual hostili ties, held so influential a place in the work of the administration, has proved of the utmost value and importance, while the most essential domestic inter ests are reassured against any dJ°turb ance of policy by Mr. Gage's continued direction of the Treasury. At the present juncture of affairs, these three are the dominant figures of the administration under the President himself, and their presence in the Cabinet gives a convic tion of strength ana security that is of incalculable benefit to the nation, at home and abroad. Thus the country, as the cloud of pub lic and personal bereavement lifts, starts on its way again with buoyant confidence "The good work will go on,"' said McKinley in his last speech. The good work that good men do is never lost. It is an inspiration and guide to those that come after them. We iiave each and all a share in McKinley s world-wide fame, in the legacy of his high example, and each and all a share in the new duties of to-day, to sustain and cheer, by our own devotion and by our helpful trust, the man on whom the cares of his great office have fallen. —Ex. IN 1880 a law of Congress was passed regulating the Presidential succession. Formerly, in case of the death of the President, the office passed to 'the Vice President, and from him to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, where the succession ended. Now the Presi dential office passes from the Vice Presi dent to the Cabinet, in the following order: Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of War, At torney General, Postmaster-General, Secretary of the Navy, and Secretary of the Interior. As there was no such office as Secretary of Agriculture at the time of the passage of thiH act, he was not included in the succession. T 'ith the death of the President the office of Vice President falls into abeyance until the next election. The President pro tempore of the Senate becomes its per manent presiding officer, but is nc >t in the line of Presidential succession. Senator William P. Frve, of Main *, is the President of the Senate. Those Franchises. It has been known for some time \ that negotiations have been going on for a consolidation of the traction roads controlled by the by the Mellon in terests with those of the Consolidated Traction Company. Yesterday afternoon it was an nounced that the deal had been closed in Philadelphia, Monday by Andrew M. | Mellon and that by ifs terms the lines j operated by the Monongahela Street j Railway Company and the Birmingham i Traction Company are leased to the < Consolidated Traction Company. The deal is said to cover the new charters obtained by the Mellon in- | terests, and it looks toward the gath ering of all the surface roads in and •' about the two cities under the owner- j ship of the Philadelphia companj*. The interests connected with the proposed elevated roads had no part in the deal, but are of course affected by it, as it means the combination of all surface railway interests in oppo sition to the elevated j' railway projects. The immediate effect was a determi nation on the part of the promoters of the elevated roads to withdraw the pending ordinances and discontinue work upon. them. The charters will be held, and if in the future the need of better and ample rapid transit | facilities is so keenly felt as to create ! a general demand for elevated road the ' work will undertaken.—Pittsburg Com • Gaz. of yesterday. C/.oljjos/.'s Trial. At Buffalo, Monday, a jurj was em paneled and Leon F. Czolgosz was placed on trial for the murder of Presi dent McKinley. Czolgosz promptly plead "trailty." but his plea was reject ed, the law of the state not allowing it. and his trial was proceeded with as though the plea of "not guilty" had been made: and the autopsy was de scribed by the operating surgeons. The defendant offered no evidence; Judge Lewis made no plea for the as sassin but suggested insanity; the case went to the jury at 3:51 p. m. of Tues day, and :!4 minutes after the jury re turned a verdict of murder in the first degree. The prisoner was remanded to jail. He will be sentenced today. Tlie Schley Court-ot-Inquiry The Schley court of inquiry opened with a three hours' session in Washing ton, last Thursday. Admiral Schley's objection to Admiral Howison as a member of the court on the ground of prejudice, supported by three witnesses, was sustained by Admirals Dewey and Benham and the court adjourned until the seat vacated by Howison could »e filled. Admiral Sampson was not ent as he is sick. On Friday the Navy Department des ignated Rear Admiral Ramsey to fill Howison's place and no objection being made to him he took his seat, witnesses were called and the investigation pro ceeded. On Saturday and Monday the evi dence of different officers of the fleet was taken, but on Tuesday the proceedings were interrupted by the sudden death of Judge Wilson, Schley's chief counsel. Last Public Words. President McKinley, on September 5, the day before he was shot, delivered before the Pan-American Exposition, at Buffalo, his last speech. It was an ad dress as broad and great as the occasion required, and will now be read and studied all the more by our people. The following are his closing words, which it will be seen are a prayer, not only for the peace and prosperity of our own country, but for that of "all our neigh bors, and like blessings to all the peo ples and powers of the earth." "Gentlemen, let us ever remember that our interest is in concord, not con flict; anl that our real eminence rests in the victories of peace, not those of war. We hope that all who are represented here may be moved to higher and nobler effort for their own and the world's good, and that out of this city may come not only greater commerce and trade for ns all, but, more essential than these, relations of mutual respect, confidence, and friendship which will deepen and endure. Oar earnest prayer is that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happiness and peace to all our neighbors and like blessings to all the peoples and powers of earth." HAVING been registered, the next thing jn order for the man who desires to vote in November, is to see that his taxes are paid. The law requires that a citizen 22 years of age or upwards, shrill have paid within two years, a state or county tax, at least 30 days before elec tion As the election, this year, takes place on November 5, the tax must be paid on or before October 4 ALL of President McKinley S effects and papers were shipped from Wash ington to Canton, Monday; and Presi dent Roosevelt and family moved into the White House that day. Silver Wedding. Last Saturday being the 25th anniver sary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Fleming of Concord twp. their many friends congregated at their home to celebrate the dav, Mr. and Mrs. Fleming being ignorant of the occasion until the crowd began to assemble.

(Communicated.) During the session of the legislature recently ended, two proposed amend ments to the Constitution were passed which will come before the people at the polls in Nov. One of these amendments if adopted, will open the way for the ! enactment of registration laws and for the classification of the State for elec tion law purposes: the other will open the way for the use of the voting ma chine. The Union Committee for the Promo tion of Ballot Reform and the Merit System in Penn'a was largely instru mental in having passed the registration amendment. It was formed with this end in view, and the passage of the Bal lot bill. Its efforts were concentrated on these two measures. The Commit tee has no interest in the voting ma chine amendment. Before the registration amendment can become effective however, it must be approved by the people. Its passage by the legislature was merely prelimi nary to the decision of a popular vote whether or not it shall adopted. This will be decided at the November elec tion. Even though adopted the amendment will work no immediate change in the election laws of the State. There ap pears to be a popular misconception re garding this point. Its only effect will be to untie the hands of the legislature and give to the latter power which it does not have now. Until the adoption of. the amendment the legislature is pre sented from passing any adequate reg fctratiou law by reason of the provision of the Constitution to the effect that no man shall be deprived of his vote be cause he is not registered. This little provision renders ineffective any regis tration. The adoption of the amend ment will bring it within the scope of subsequent legislatures to enact such registration laws as may be deemed best. Nor again is it mandatory that any such future legistation shall be passed. The amendment simply makes such ac tion permissive, not obligatory. The amendments are in no sense par tisan in their effect upon the tuture of any of the political parties of the State. They are advocated by leaders of all the parties and antagonized by none. Personal registration laws are even now in operation in New York and Massa chusetts. It is only a question of time when they will have to be accepted in Pennsylvania, and the registration amendment will open the way for them. OI L NOTES.

A committee, appointed to prepare resolutions expressing the esteem in which Miss Cooper was held by the teachers and extending to the parents their deepest sympathy, report ed the following: Since i t has pleased God in His infin ite wisdom to call Miss Myrtle Cooper from a field of labor among us to a house not made with hands, it becomes us to bow submissively before Him whose ways are not our ways and to consider that naught but duty and to day are curs, the future belongetb nnto God. Though hrr stay among us was brief, she had endeared herself to all with whom she was associated by her cheer full disposition, conscientious discharge of duty, and sympathetic nature. Many a life was made better by her ex ample of devotion to principle and Christian forbearance under trial. The teachers of the Butler Schools employ tiiis method of extending their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved parents with whom they mourn a loss which God alone will compensate in the glory of His eternal kingdom.
