THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Frini Our Ki-guliir Corrospmiilnnt.)
VVahhin(ito!c, I). C, Sei-t. 9, 1901.
The tragio and wholly unexpected
calamity which hns befallen Presi
dent MeKinloy and the country iH
of coui-so the overshadowing topic
of interest in Washington today.
While astute observers of public
events had long recognized the pos
sibility of such a tragedy, to the
mass of tho peoplo it bnd the be
wildering effect of a thing entirely
unforeseen. It hud been foreslmd
owed to 801110 extent in the assassi
nation of the Empress Elizabeth
nnd of King Humbert, which prov
ed tho power and wicked daring of
the anarchist societies ; and it was
practically certain that sooner or
later this power would bo felt in
America In precisely the form it
lias taken. The attempted assassi
nation of H. C. Frick by Bergman,
after the Homestead riot, showed
that such a doed was not by any
means foreign to Mio thoughts of
anarchists in America ; and this
type of assassin regards his victim
as desirable in proportion to the
power which ho wields. That tho
thing was planned skillfully and
carefully, ami that the assassin was
ordered by some eecret association
to commit the crime, was proved to
the satisfaction of everybody within
reach of daily papers before the
news was six hours old. Tho fact
that the assassin is not of the crim
inal t.ypoHmt he has been calm
and coherent in his testimony, and
that his action wns deliberate and
well planned, all remove this case
from the class of crimes committed
by half-crazy place hunters like
Gniteau, or political antagonists like
Booth. It is Biniply the result of an
organized, determined and well con
sidered movement whose object is,
by the assassination of persons In
power and by causing public calam
ity of one sort or another, to intimi
date and terrorize society with a
view to abolishing all social institu
tions. That is in ploin English the
anarchist's idea of his duty ; and
whether he is to be allowed to en
tertain and obey that idea to the
extont whioh ho thinks fit depends
entirely upon publio sentiment.
It Is doubtful if the news could
have caused, in the rest of this
country, such deep-rooted pain and
apprehension as it caused in the na
tional capital. It may be said with
out qualification that no president
lias endeared himself to Washing
ton people more than McKinley. His
unfailing tact, his invariable seren
ity, his attention to the wants and
pleasures of those around him, have
become known to tho peoplo of thiB
city in a hundred different ways.
Republicans oil over the country
may have learned during his public
life, before and after bis coming to
tho White House, to respect his
ability and admire his character.
In Washington, which has been hiB
home for many years, he has won
the esteem of evon his political op
ponents by his admirable personal
qualities.
There are men in power who
pride themselves on their ability to
say "No," but tney frequently say
It in such a manner thut their in
terlocutor feels as if he had been
kicked. Mr. McKinley could al ways
refuse a favor in & way that made a
disappointed one choke down his
feelings until he was out of the of
ficial presence, and even then he
was not always sure that he was
disappointed. No one ever had to
complain of a disoourtesy from Mr.
McKinley, as representative or as
president. Ho was placed in many
difficult positions, but he olways got
out of them without hurting any
one's feelings more than was abso
lutely necessary. Another lovable
trait in his character is his faculty
of remembering and noticing little
things of importance to others. If
one of his friends had a daughter
marriod or lost a child, President
McKinley never forgot to express
his sympathy with the joy or sor
row, as tho case might be. If he
could do notLing more Le would
send a tactful little note. Ho was
never on his dignity, because his
dignity was himself and not a pedes
tal. He was accessible and ap
proachable from the first of his
term in the White House, and he
always goouiod to know what to say
to everybody. Possibly a part of
this tact and consideration may lie
traced to his well known devotion
to his invalid wife. Those who aro
members of the inner circle of
Washington society know many
charming little stories of this dovo
tioii, which are wot giveu to the
public. A man cannot give himself
so completely to tho task of caring
foi a bdoved and delicate woman
without becoming refined and en
nobled by tho performance of tho
duty.
This is why, with an interest
quite apart from sensation-seeking,
great crowds of people thronged the
avenues near the newspaper offioes
and watched the bulletin boards
eagerly until past midnight Friday
night, for news of the president's
condition. '
A curious itom appears in the
news which the war department is
giving out. Tho act of congress
which increased the army to 100,000
men caused promotions all along
the line ; and eventually there were
about, 900 vacancies in the position
of second lieutenant to be filled by
the president. The law is that these
places shall be filled by giving com
missions to enlisted men who pass
tho examination and by the ap
pointment of men within certain
age limits who have served in the
volunteer army. The famine al
luded to is not due to a lack of ap
plicants. Secretary Hoof, had near
ly 12,000 applications to sort over
and weed out, and probably every
one of the applicants thought he
could perform the duties of the po
sition to perfection. The enlisted
men had tho first chance. About
400 took tho examination, and
nearly 200 passed and received their
commissions. Thou many of the
former volunteer officers and men
were disposed of, by being designat
ed for appointment. It is not known
how many of them have been
through this experience, but the to
tal runs into the thousands. The
trouble seems to be that thoy can
not pass the examinations. Some
of them ore complaining that these
are unduly severe, but the depart
ment says that men appointed in
this way enter the service on n sup
posed equality with West Polut
graduotos and ought to know, if not
as much, at least somowhere near as
much as the cadet knows at gradua
tion. Many of them probably know
more in some ways. But the point
is that it is the aim of the depart
ment to place in responsible posi
tions men who come from families
which attach some importance to
education, or who have had the
spirit and energy to got an educa
tion for themselves ; and tho exami
nation is the only practical method
of weeding out uneducated men
who have nothing in common with
their brother officers. Iu short, the
education is a sort bf shibboleth.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is that there are said to be at pres
ent over 400 vacancies, and nobody
who was not in the army during
the Spanish war is eligible.
Another difficulty is bothering
the navy department. Surgeon
General Van Reypen of the nuvy is
trying to find four young doctors
who can pass the examination for
the position of assistant surgeon in
the navy department. It has been
hard work of late to find good men
for the grade of assistant surgeons,
and the medical corps has not been
complete since tho civil war. The
trouble seems to be that tho require
ments are so great that most of tho
men who can pass tho examination,
aro in private practice and earning
good incomes. The navy depart
ment also has trouble iu getting
sailors for cruisers and battleships.

Does Lynching- Deter CrimsP
Some discussion has been called
o'.it recently by the number of lynch-
lugs which have occurred iu the past
year, as to whether crime does not
increase instead of decrease under
such regime. It would appear that
lynching is no deterrent and that
legal punishment would he more ef
fectual. In support of this the Chi
cago Tribune says:
"The number of lynchlngs during
the present year to date has been
ninety-nine. In no other year during
tho last decade has the number been
so large during the same period. Of
this total there have been thirteen in
the North and eighty-six in the
South. This is not stated invidiously,
but because the relations between
lynching and crime are most con
spicuous and most easily studied in
the South. If the theory of the ad.
vocittes of lynching be true, then this
unusual increase in the number of
lyiichings should have been accom
panied by an unusual decrease in
crimes committed. Has such been
the case ?
"Far from it. While crime has
increased all over the country, it has
increased most rapidly in the South,
and in ttie four States, Mississippi,
Georgia, Alabama, and Iouislaa,
where lynching are most frequent.
In Mississippi the record of the last
thirty clays shows forty-five murders
committed. Iu oilier States there
has bot-n a corresponding increase.
Evidently lyiichings does not prevent
murder. In the South criminal as
sault is characterized as 'the usual
cause' of lynching, though it is not
so, murder being the principal cause
year by year. Lynching, however,
has been regarded as the remedy for
that crime, but, instead of preventing
or even decreasing it, it is rapidly in
creasing, and most rapidly in the
sections where lyiichings are most
numerous and most barbarous. Is it
not about time, then, for lynchers to
ask w hy their prescription fails, and
for the people of the South to deter
mine that the enforcement of law is a
more effective remedy, and that the
punishment of crime by the com
mi.iiion of crime is a failure w herev
er tried ?"

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY SHOT.
While Attending- the Buffalo Expo
ition Be Receive Tiro Bullets
from An Aesansin's Pietol.
Friday evening, Sept. 6 the start
ling and shocking announcement
flashed over the wires to almost
every part of the civilizod world
that President William McKinley
had been shot whilo standing in the
Music Hall at Buffalo receiving the
peoplo. Probably before this time
nearly every person in this country
is fully acquainted with the details
of that cowardly and murderous ns
saalt. How the president, while
standing surrounded by friends
smilingly greeting the people as
they passed shaking for one brief
moment his hand, was twice fired
npon by an assassin who held a pis
tol in his hand concealed by a hand
kerchief. The two shots took effect,
one striking the second rib and
glancing off, inflicting a compara
tively minor Injury; the other en
tering the abdomen and causing a
most serious and dangerous wound,
and from which the gravest results
were likely to ensue.
After the first shock his condition
has been steadily Improving and he
Is now thought to be entirely out of
danger.
From every source, from all na
tions and from people in every walk
of lifo from the highest to the lowest
have come expressions of horror at
the wholly unwarranted attack on
the life of our nation's ruler. When
Lincoln was shot by the fanatic Booth
nearly forty years ago it was at a
time when mighty passions were
disturbing the country which had
just emerged from a terrible civil
war. Society was in a ferment,
politics disturbed the minds of all and
while the act could not be justified,
such acts never can be, there was at
least a shadow of pretext for the
deed. Twenty years ago Garfield
met a like fate at the hand of one
who sought revenge for a fancied
neglect of his importunings. Disap
pointment nerved his hand and fired
his lunatic brain to commit the grav
est crime known to the law. But
now the country Is at peace, in the
high tide of prosperity, no wrang
ling elements or discordant factions
striving In a mastery of passion for
supremacy. Theassassin of McKinley
had no grievance against him or his
party. There were absolutely no
grounds, either personal or public,
on which to rest the slightest reason
for the murderous act.
Leon Czolgosz, who fired the
shots, ai he says, aimed them not
at an individual but at an organized
governmont as personified in Presi
dent MoKiuley. He had no person
al grievance against him, no discon
tent over the condition of the conn
try, nothing but a desire iu con
formity with the teachings of the
society called "anarchists" to strike
down all government, regardless of
Individuals or consequences For
such opinious which their exponents
attempt to enforce in this manner
there can be no charity, nothing
but utter abhorrence and a determi
nation on the part of all citizens la
every land who have a spark of pa
triotism to wipe from the face of the
earth those who resort to such
means to illustrate their so-called
principles. That this feeling ha
been aroused throughout the world
is evident from the general expres
sion, and if there is a providential
aspect to this case it may be that
the violent act will be the moans of
awakening such horror at the re
pulsive deed and the incendiary sen
timent which engendered it that
the nations will rise iu their might
and crush out the last vestige of an
archy in the whola civilizod world.

CONGREGATIONAL MEETING.
Rov. Thoi. Nich Is Aski for Dissolu
tion of PaBtoral Rolatione Re
grets at Parting With
Him Expressed.
At a meeting of the Presbyterian
congregation held Tuesday evening
presided over by Rev. Geo. Gillespie
of Port Jervis to elect delegates to
Presbytery which eonvenesat Liberty
next week, George Mitchell and John
C. Wallace were appointed.
At the request of Rev. Thomas
Nichols they will ask that body to
dissolve the pastoral relations exist
ing between him and the church here.
This step he deemed expedient be
because of his continued ill
health which prevents an immediate
re-sumption of his labors. Mr.
Nichols during his pastorate here of
several years has greatly endeared
himself to his people ami it Is with
deep sympathy and profound regret
that they assent to this terminaton of
his active work in this church. It is
fervently hoped that with a release
from the cares of a pastorate his
health may improve and that he
may be spared many years to be a
laborer in the great work of saving
souls. i
At tha meeting a letter was read
by the moderator from tho pastor
stating at longth his reasons for
preferring the request that the pas
toral rolations bo dissolved. In it
he spoke kindly of his pleasant in
tercourse with the people, his love
for this church and his extreme re
luctance to separate from it, but
felt it incumbent because of his
feeble condition to ask that his res
ignation bo accepted. Elder Eben
ezer Warner spoke warmly of his
affection for the pastor whose labor
had extendod for a longer period
than that of any other during his
fifty-two years' connection with the
church. He was followed by Elder
George Mitohell who gave some
very interesting and significant
facts relative to the temporal and
spiritual prosjierity of the ohnroh
since the . incumbency of Mr.
Nichols, whose pastorate has ex
tendod over elevon years. During
the year prior to the beginning of
his work here there were 70 names
on the church roll of members and
this year shows 122 names, a very
large increase. The donations for
church benevolenoes for the year
preceding his coming amounted to
only $30, and for tha last year, $180,
showing a marked advance. Elder
William Mitohell also expressed the
deep sorrow he felt over tho oiroum
stances which impelled tha present
aotion, his love and respect for the
pastor who has been so faithful in
his labors and whose work has been
crowned with such gratifying suo
cess. The moderator, Rev. G. E.
Gillespio, spoka feelingly of the
high esteem and respoct he had for
Mr. Nichols, that it was lika the
love for a father, and that it was so
deep he had selected him to parform
the solemn function of baptizing his
child. Ho also paid a high tribute
to the scholarship, good judgment
and wise counsels of Mr. Nichols
and said there was no one among the
members of this presbytery whose
advice was more earnestly sought,
whose judgment was more mature
or who reasoned more clearly aud
delivered his thou$, ts with more
succinctness than did fr. Nichols.
All tha younger meiubu. had im
plicit faitli in the soundness of his
views and in tho cogonoy of his rea
soning and looked up to him with
respect and admiration both as a
scholar and an exemplar of tha re
ligion he professed.
A committee, consisting of John
C. Wallace, J. H. Van Etten and
George Mitchell, was thon appoint
ed to draft suitable resolutions to be
presented on behalf of tha church to
the presbytery and after prayer and
the beuedictiou by the moderator
the meeting adjourned.

OBITUARY.
MISS GERTRUDE VAN GORDEJf.
After an illness of long duration
Miss Van Gorden died at the home
of her parents in Dingman's Ferry
Tuesday morning, 8eptemlcr 10th.
Her ailment was Bright's disease.
She was a daughter of Randal and
Hannah Decker Van Gorden and
was born about 25 years ago. Her
home has always been In Delaware
township, though born In Lehman.
She was a most exemplary young
lady, a consistent member of the Re
formed church and active in Chris
tian endeavor society. Of an ami
able disposition she won many
warm friends who alike with those
near and dear to her will deeply de
plore her departure. Just in the full
blush of womanhood when the vista
of life seems brightest end hopes aro
most sanguine it is sad that such
bereavements must come and tho
blossoms which promise much of joy
and fruition be blighted and wither
away.
Her sorrowing parents, a brother,
Warren, and four sisters, Hattie,
Linda and Lottie at home, and Liz
zie, wife of Floyd S. Bevans of West-
fall, survive. The funeral services
will be held today, Friday, at the
house at 2 p. ni. and interment in
Milford cemetery.
