OUR NATIONAL SORROW.

is the sincere grief of a
great people, and its spontaneous manifesta-
tion is the most eloquent tribute that could
be paid to the memory of our dead presi-
dent, who, himself, could not have wished
for a nobler monument than is to be found
in the undissimulated sorrow of a great na-
tion.
Since the assassination of William Mc-
Kinley we have visited many points East and
West, and everywhere has there been mani-
fest the deepest love for our president, show-
ing how close he stood to the hearts of his
people, who watched the Buffalo bulletins
not curiously or morbidly critical, but with
a personal devotion. They were interested
in the sick room at the Pan-American city
because a man lay there wounded unto death,
who was in every way one of themselves—
an earnest, purposeful, God-fearing man,
whose life had been given up to his duty to
his country and to his family.
Of all presidents he was the most popu-
lar personally, and of all presidents since
Monroe he surely has been president of a
united country. When Lincoln died he left
a country still divided against itself. The
A
cruel scars of a fratricidal war still were
fresh r but McKinley has left America united
as it never has been before since it assumed a
place among the nations of earth. In the
sunny Southland genuine sorrow as deep
and as heartfelt as Northern sorrow goes
out, for he was regarded as president of the
whole people and not as a leader of a trium-
v
phant party.
/
He was loved by all the people, for al-
though on an eminence, he was not above
them. The man who could be firm and un-
compromising in matters of state could, on
the other hand, be as gentle and sympathetic
as the most sensitive woman. His devotion
to his invalid wife was the very quintessence
of chivalry. The people were quick to rec-
ognize this combination of strength and gen-
tleness.
The place of William McKinley is safe
in history, and it is no mere figurehead of
speech to say that the nation sat by his
death bed and wept over his bier.

in the palace of Versailles, and breaking the
wand of his office, exclaimed to the popu-
lace : "Le roi est mort;"—then, seizing an-
other, exclaimed: "Vive le roi!" It was
no perfunctory transfer of allegiance, but
the enunciation of one of the greatest facts
of human existence. The King is dead!
Long Live the King! The President is
dead ! Long live the President! When Cor-
telyou announced sadly to the cabinet "the
President has passed away," even then, with-
out the formality of an official oath, a new
President was speeding towards Buffalo, and
without pause or hesitation the massive gov-
ernment machinery of a great people drives

wheels of the stupendous organization of the
government move on.
ing of a united people is disturbed by no
anxious speculation as to what the morrow
will bring forth. There are no doubts, fears
and anxieties. We are confident in the face
of a great sorrow.
It is in this ability to face a crisis, to meet
the unexpected that the Republic finds its
greatest triumph. In the face of great na-
tional tragedies it has never failed to make
good its claim to being a good government,
by, for, and of the people. In this repeated
fulfillment is realized all the dreams of the
fathers of the Republic and all the sturdy
common sense of those who have come after,
in proving themselves worthy of a glorious
heritage. With Theodore Roosevelt at the
helm of government there will be no halt-
ing in our progress. With the policies of
William McKinley President Roosevelt is in
hearty accord. There may in time be changes
in men and methods, but in the main they
will work towards the ends which our mar-
tyred president had ever in view.
The varied life of Theodore Roosevelt has
placed him in touch with all orders and con-
ditions of men, has broadened his sympathies
and trained his mind. Surely no one is bet-
ter equipped by experience to be president
of the whole people, without regard to party
or faction. How fortunate, indeed, that a
patriotic, competent American gentleman was
selected to run upon the ticket with William
McKinley, instead of a mere politician.
President Roosevelt has all the qualities
which make for greatness and efficient ser-
vice to his country.
The nation will accord him a lively confi-
dence and the business interests of this coun-
try will move on uninterruptedly.
