Cardinal Gibbons and Former Presi- dent Grover Cleveland Deliver Touching Eulogies. ALTIMORE, ' Sept.' 19.—Me- morial services were -almost universal to-day ‘throughout this State. Perhaps the most important and impressive were the ceremonies .at the cathe- dral in this city, at which Car- dinal Gibbons delivered. the following eulogy: It has been my melancholy experierice in the course of my sacred ministry to be startied by the assassinations of three Presidents of- the United States In the annals of crime it is difficult to find an instance of murder so atrocious, so wanton 2nd_meaningless as the assassination of Mr. McKinley.

Of this number about 1200 ob- uined admission to the crypt, which has accommodations for a seated congrega- tion of 800. The result was that the crypt was 50 _crowd:d that a man and . two women fainted.

Hum of Great City Hushed. CHICAGO, Sept.” 19.—The nolses of a | great city were hushed for five minues | to-day while mourning ~thousands paid | their tribute to the memory of Wiliiam | McKinley. The silence was broken ohl | by muffied bells, tolling off the fifty eight illustrious years of the dead Presi- dent’s life, or voices raised in singing, | “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” or ‘“Lead, | Kindly Light.” e demonstration took place during the afternoon and was timed to be in unison with the last rites at Can- ton. The parade came to a respectiul standstill at 2:30 o’clock. Street car traf- ‘fic suddenly ceased and pedestrians haited { on the sidewalks. The funeral procession started at 2 p. m. In it was the carriage in which the President two years ago rode through the streets of Chicago, bowing and smiling to the applauding people. The same . bay horses which drew him then drew the ve- hicle to-day, empty, save for the flowers which rested in it. Over it was flung | 2 flag, under which the late President had marched in times of triumph in Washing. ton, in Canton and in Chicago. The pro- cession, in which there were from 20,90 | to 25,000 men, was led by General Joseph | Stockton, who was marshal of the memo- rial- parade following Garfield's death. Theressas.scarcely a pretense of business, scarcely a buiiding without its symbol of ‘mourning. In nearly every church during the forenoon memorial - services were eld. TImpressive Demonstrations. ST. LOUILS, Sept. 19.—Impressive dem- onstrations in. honor of the memory of President McKinigy were held in this city and East St. Lo where emblems of mourning and half-masted flags were to be seen on every hand. Business was en- tirely suspended. Churches of every de- | nomination joined in memorial services, and several public meetings were also Held. At the Coliseum President McKin- ley’s favorite hymns were sung bv a chorus of 1000 voices. BLOOMINSTON, 1ll., Sept. 19.—Former Vice President Stevenson delivered the principal address at the McKinley memo- rial services here to-day. He eloquently eulogized the departed rresident and aa- | vocated stringent laws to prevent the im- | ration of dangerous foreign classes. | SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. 18.— | Honot was paid to the memory ot Presi- | dent " McKinley to-day throughout the State. In Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, Park City and other cities memorial serv- ices were held in. the churches, which were packed with sorrowing people. In the big mining camps the miners attend- ed special services in honor of the-dead President, the mine buildings and shafts being draped in biack. .In Salt Lake City business was absolutely suspended, and nearly every business block -and many private residences were heavily draped. At Fort Dougl: and other army posts drills were suspended and a Presi- dential salute of twenty-one guns was fired 2t noontime. Grover Cleveland’s Tribute. PRINCETON, N. J., Sept. 15—All forntal exercises at; Princeton University were suspended to-day, and at 11 o’clock memorial exercises were held in Alexan- der Hall. The faculty and board of trus- tees attended the exercises in their gowns, without their hcoods. The big hall was filled with students and visitors as the faculty, led by former President Cleve- land and President Patton, siowly filed up the aisle to the rostrum. President Patton opened the exercises with prayer, read the Forty-sixth Psalm, made a few remarks eulogizing the late President and Antroduced Mr. Cleveland, who with tears in his_eyes eulogized the dead President. Mr. Cleveland said in part: To-day the grave closes over the man that has been chosen by the people of the United States to represent thefr country, to protect and defend their constitution, to faithfully execute the laws made for their welfare and to safely uphold the integrity of the republic, He passes from the public sight, not bearing the wreaths and garlands of his countrymen's approving acclaim, but amid the sobs and tears of a mourning nation. The whole nation loved their President. His kindly disposition and affectionate traits, his amiable corsideration for all around him, will long be in the hearts of his countrymen. He loved them in return with such patriotism and unselfishness that in this hour of their grief and humiliation he would say to them, “It is God's will; I am content. If there is a lesson in my life or death, let it be taught to those who still live and have the destiny of their country in thelr keeping." There is a most serious lesson for all of us in the tragedy of our late President’s death. If we are to escave further attacks upon our peace and security we must boldly and reso- utely grapple with the monster of anarchy. It is not a thing that we can safely leave to be dealt with by party or partisanship. Nothing can guarantee us against its menace except the teaching and the practice of the best citi- zenship, the exposure of the ends and aims of the gospel of discontent and hatred of soclal order and the brave enactment and execution of repressive laws. Missourians Mourn. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 19.—Fully 2,- 000 people of all races, in the great audi- torium at Convention Hall, this afternoon lifted their vojces in loving tribute to the memory of President cKinley. The bullding was taxed to its utmost capacity, people standing in every avallable foot of room. Twenty thousand others, it is esti- mated, were turned away, unable to gain admission to the hall. It was the great- est public demonstration ever witnessed in this eity. The exercises had been ar- ranged by a committee of business men and were participated In by numerous civic and political socleties, Grand Army, Confederate and Spanish war veterans, school children by the hundreds and peo- ple from all walks of life. Addresses ex- tolling the greatness and goodness of the The leading thought in Bishop Potter's | late President were delivered by leading sermon was expressed in these words: Men and brethren, in this solemn and a gust moment we should remember that we can not have the freedom of a republic without t responsibilities of & republic.

Later Bishop Potter attended old Trin- 'y Church, where he conducted the regu- ar burial service of the Episcopal church, divines, representative of different de- nominations. A grand chorus of 700 peo- ple, with a band of 100 pleces, furnished the music. “Lead, Kindly Light,” “Nearer, My God, and “America” were rendered with tremendous effect, the entire audi- ence of over 20,000 men, women and chil- dren joining in singing the words.

The chanting of the Lord’s Prayer by the Knickerbocker, Elks' and California quartets ‘relieved for ‘a space the pro- nounced depression that'rested upon ‘the audience. el ” Hardly had the last sounds of the chapters died “away = when every man, woman: “ and_ - child ' rose’ for the ‘voicing- of ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.” Saldiers, sailors, men in the consular serv- judges, State officlals—all joined In unison. ; Accompanied -by. the orchestra this choir of many thousand voices sang, out thefr hearts’ burden of sorrow in the last earthy devotion to Willlam McKin- ley: . And no less moving was Signorina Nice Barbareschi’'s “‘Ave Maria.” In this spirit of almost pious reverence General Barnes found his audiencé when he ‘advanced. to: the speaker's stand to pronounce the' eulogium.

Two weeks' ago to-night commenced at the capital of the nation a march that ended to- day at Canton, Ohlo..: The President of _the| United Statés, in a train that was the ulti- mate reach. and finish. of. mechanical skiil, suarded on every. foot of the rai], treasured as gorngthing priceless, and to be ¢herishea by everybody, 'sat in his car .at the end of the train, and the King of Terrors rode on. the pllot. With covered -head he heckoned with his grisly, hand the Presidént to his. fate. No eye saw him, no ear heard his threat; and In the daylight and the sunshine, in front of the tempie of the Pan-American Exposition dedicated to harmony, the President received that fatal shot which, after six long days and nights of pajn, brought him to his death. His murderer stands mute before his earthly judge, and about him is a rising ocean of tears and of rage sweeping! over and sub- merging the continent, all the more violent because It is powerless to repair the loss and utterly incapable of punishing the crimo that ‘brought the President to his death. ©Oh, my friends, of all the decrees of Provi- dence since this Government had exi:tence that one whose dreadful result you are here. to commemorate is the most inscrutable. We know, and faith teaches us, that God is wise, that His thoughts are not like our thoughts, nor His ways like our ways; but it seems as though I could lift my voice to Jehovah and ask, ““Why .is it that a man like Willlam McKinley, of lifelong purity, devoted son, true husband, faithful legislator, gallant sol dier, twice elected President of the United States and crowned with the blessings of all the people, should have been put in his grave by such an instrument?’ How shall we an- swer the question? All we: can do is to ‘“'stretch faint hands of faith and grope and gather dust and chaff and call on what we feel is Lord of all. and faintly trust the larger hope.”” For myself, I°cannot realize this thing. It seems like some. hideous night- mare, The nation stands—and, oh, how small e world is when it is bound together by a ymmon - instinct and a common sympathy— the world has stood to-day bareheaded before a single grave, and it asks, as 1 ask, why is it? Did he die for his sins, or, like Christ, did he die for ours? I cannot realize it. It seems as though these great clouds that hang 1n mourning unison over this city to-day raust Toll away: these emblems of mourning must turn Into'those of joy, and that we shall wake ourselves from slumber to know that all the sorrow we have had and are having was but the passing dream of a night. Death a Shock. It was but a short time ago, it seems, since this friend of ours left the capital to pass over the lands of his country and everywhere he went he was surrounded by admiring crowds, cheered by the applause of millions. At last he came to us. - With what pleasure we wel- comed him I need not speak. We were drawn near to him, not so much because of his high station as because of the intense human sym- pathy that while he was here enveloped him like a garment and held him to our hearts. In the presence of an impending domestic sorrow we thought of him and the good prayed for him and when we saw his gentle and be- nign face no longer in our midst, which had become o familiar; when we could listen no longer to his inspiring and patriotic thoughts, there was not a household in San Francisco that did not, at its altar of worship, pray that he and his might go in safety the long journey to the capital of the nation and that the great sorrow that hung over. him here might be put away from his dear lips and that the sweet companion of his early trials and later triumphs might live to'see his magnificent career rounded out in full and descend hand in. hand with him to a happy: and glorious | sunset, We prayed for her lite. and no one thought of his. Who thought to pray God to keep ‘William McKinley from assassination? Who ever dreamed that such a contingency could come. The morning of the day he went away, wrapped in the dignity of his own magnificent presence and. underneath the flag of his coun- try that shiveréd to the breeze and shone in the morning sun, the crowd about the tratn stretched out thelr hands in benison and he stood” bareheaded on the platform until his voice was lost in the chorus of love that sang | in his We- hi e - 5 Bils caig, Wo heard him say. “Good-by ajl And as the_ train- disappeared you could see his 1ij 1l “moving in _the farewell words, ‘Good-by.” - Who ‘would have thought 80 sHort & time, from such a cnu!: ;leu:éug'(; lle dying on his bed of agony, saying to those about him in that same sweet voice and with that ineffably gentle manner, “'Good-by all, good-by; it is: God's. way. Let his will, not ours, be done.” Career of Spotless Honor. It Is said that Socrates died like a philoso- pher, and that he who perished on the cross Wwith the rent veil and the rockingsearth diea like a God. What shall be said of the death of this man who from the hour of his wound accepted it with resignation and gentloness and bade- farewell without fear to all. that made life happy. to honor, hope and life, and descended, leaving all behind him, into such a grave? 'This great man was for ail ths world the perfect type of that which a system of gov- ernment and common education such as exist under the constitution of the United States can develop. Born in the State of Ohio, his an- cestors a part of that band of patriots that moved into the northwest territory and formed the State—those men of whom Washington said: ‘“Many of them I know, personally, and there ‘were never men better fitted to establish gov- ernment and make a magnificent prosperity than the colonists that are now on the banks of the Muskingum." Of that stock he came. He was of the people; not. ‘‘born in the purple,” but essen- ually, in every respect, of the common people. His education had but scarcely begun at a country academy when the Civil War found him a soldier under the flag. At 18 years of age, beardiess, clear-eyed, this handsome boy shouldered his musket and went out as a sol- dler of the Union. ' Promotion was rapid—com- missary sergeant, second lieutenant, first lieu- terant, captain and major by brevet; and he came home every inch of him a soldier, better and nobler for ‘the struggles in which he had taken part .and. in which he had borne him- self so nobly and of which we have no time here to speak. He embarked upon the study of the law and practiced his profession with honor. His peculiar abilities for keen and concise state- meat of public questions soon brought him into request and after eight or nine years of pri- vate life the district in which he hved sent him to Congress. There, for seven successive terms, for fourteen years, this friend of ours tolled and labored for the public good. No man ‘has ever lived in this country whose am- bition has been as pure, whose life has been as devold of what we might term the arts and the tricks of the politician. With the preatmeasures of finance always before him, handling the great revenue system of the country, where, iIf he had one touch of cupidity in Lis nature he could have amassed a fortune as great as some other gentlemcn have done, he went to Congress without a dollar and’ never made a dollar, or recelved one, except the meager salary a Congressman receives, during all of his career. A Spartaun, simple in his habits, without personal ambi- tion, he marched through life and did his duty without ostentation as few ‘men’ have ever cne. He became Governor of his State, elected by the largest popular majority that any Governor ever was clected by in his State, and became the logical candidate for the Presidency of the too, was burned by the police. HEARST AND THE GOLDIAN WOMAN HANGED SIDE BY SIDE IN EFFIGY EW YORK, Sept. 19.—William R. Hearst, proprietor of the New York Journal, was hanged in effigy early to-day in. Brooklyn for the second time this week. TLast Monday a straw figure of Hearst was cut down from a walnut tree at Cleveland and Jamaica avenues, where it had been Jjeered and stoned for forty-eight hours, because the crowd feared that the police would destroy the effigy before arrangements could be completed to burn it. On Wednesday evening the efigy was hapged again a block away, but the police got around early to-day and themselves burned it. A figure of Emma Goldman was strung up be On Wednesday night a straw figure of a woman wearing a straw sailor, black skirt and white waist was rigged up, and both efligies hanged from the limb of a tree at Ashford street and Jamaica side that of Hearst at the second hanging, and it, < avenue, a block away from the sccne of the first hanging. Both figures were stuffed with straw. That which was supposed to represen: Hearst was dressed in a suit of blue, and attached to it was a placard with the words, “Willie Hearst, Red Journal.” An old derby completed the costume, The ot! was placarded: “Emma Goldman, Anarchist.” Another placard, a paraphrase often used by belittle President McKinley, hung between the efigies. The programme of the lynchers was to cut down the effigies this evening and burn figure Journal to them at the stake. The Liberty avenue police spoiled.the plan by appearing in force this morning and, cutting the figures down, burned them without the formality of tying them to a stalki The effigy of Hearst was hanged from an electric light pole at © o’clock this morning in Bedford avenue, Brooklyn. The efigy was cut down once and rehanged in a conspicuous place. At one time the crowd was so large that all trafic ‘was suspended. The crowd had the effigy of Emma Goldman prepared for burning when the police ar- rived and destroyed it. DEMAND MADE TO PROTECT LIVING REPRESENTATIVE M EN PAY LOVING TRIBUTE TO DEAD Horace Davis and Senator Perkins Eulogize cKinley at St. . John’s Church. Rev. Dr. Hemphill of Calvary De- livers Panegyric at Memorial Services. IMPLE yet impressive were-the memorial 'services in honor,of the late President, . William McKinley, held at St. John's- Calvary Presbyterian Church yesterday morning, The sacred edifice was crowded with a congregation which testified its sincere sorrow at the untimely taking off of the nation’s beloved chief magistrate.. Loving and _ heartfelt panegyrics were delivered | by United States Senator George C. Per- kins' and ex-Congressman Horace Davis, both of whom had known theidead Presi- dent in life, 2nd Rev. Dr. John Hemphill, pastor of Calvary Church. As the words were uttered telling of the manly virtues of ‘MeKinley there were few dry eyes agong the sorrowful listeners. Seated on the platform with the eulo- gists were Rev. George C. Eldridge, pastor of St. John's and Rev. Dr. H. H. Bell, pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church. The services opened with the singing of “Nearer, My God, to Thee” by the entire congregation, after: which Rev. Dr. Eld- ridge pronounced the invocation, in which he prayed that God's kindest grace would abide with the grief-stricken widow. “Lead, Kindly Light,” was then sung by the choir and Dr. Hemphill made a few introductory remarks, in which he ex- pressed gratification at the presence of the large and representative audience. He referred to Senator Perkins and Horace Davis as representative men who had come to utter their meed of loving praise for one who was universally beloved. Sen- ator Perkins followed with a touching ad- dress, in which the true worth and beau- titul character of the dead chief were ex- tolled in a voice that trembled with emo tion. Senator Perkins said in part: Nation Bowed in Sorrow. A great nation lies bowed down in sorrow, thiere Is grief in every home and all civilized countries stand appalled that one so beloved as our late lamented President should have been struck doWwn by the hand of a ruthless assassin. McKinley was enshrined in the hearts of his country L He was.especially in touch. with Ot California, whom he had ecom- by his genial, pleasant nature, his mer and’ his ‘benign patience * %o nifested, om, the ogeasion. of -his re- 5 San Francisco. He was 13 the ,,fenu a typlcal American who had imself by bis own.energy and. fidel~ ity to principle, though lacking the influence of_wealth and society. McKinley took the reins of government. when there was a great Industrial depression and a want of confidence on the part of the people. He inspired new confidence and the sun: of prosperity shone with renewed refulgence. It seems indeed that the inscrutable ways of Providence are past finding out. Why Is. it that so good a man is taken from. us at this time? But Lincoln and Garfield were taken away and both of these were good men. The Anarchist and communist, however, are power- less to destroy the Government, for no one man is essential to its union and perpetuity. An- archy-or nihilism can have no growth on Amer- ican soil; public sentiment will stamp it out, for.the satety of the nation demands it. His Splendid Career. McKinley won his epaulettes at Gettysburg. He was successively Congressman, Governor of his State-and President for two terms. His promotion to the. last exalted office made him more modest and more unassuming, it possible. He was loyal to his friends and his devotion to his mother and his wife was a beautiful trait in his character. He was a religious, a great, & pure, a good man. It will be a long while before his place can be filled. I believe in immortality In heaven and if there is any immortality on earth the name of McKinley will endure as long as the government by the people and for the people exists. Anarchy can never blot his memory out. To-day we have Roosevelt as President and the most beautiful tribute.he could pay to his predecessor is his announced intention to carry out McKinley's policy. _God help him to carry out the mission.of McKinley, the greater part of which has already been performed. While we sorrow at the great calamity that | has befallen the nation let each one of us r member that he Is a sovereign in this land. we-do our duty this Government will be as it was, as it is and as it is destined to be—the grandest, greatest and best Government on God's footstool. Our dear President is gone and we have a small grain of consolation in the thought that our great loss is his eternal gain. Our prayers of sympathy go out to his afflicted wife, for we all feel that we have sus- tained a personal loss. Let us renew to-day cur vows of feaity on the altar of patriotism and strive to live better liyes. When our time shall come to follow our illustrious chief may ‘wo ‘be able to exclalm with a spirit as recon- clled as his: +'Good-by all." It 1s God's way. Let his will, not .ours, be_done.'” Horace Davis was the next speaker and pgid a; beautiful tribute to the late Presi- dent. "Among other things he said: A Sorrowful Contrast. JLet me ask you to turn your minds to scenes of four months ago when we were all cager With the expectation of Wwelcoming President McKinley. -Then the. houses and streets were ~ bright with banners—to-day how different. Th streets:are:draped with the badge of mourning To-day we are gathered not to honor his pres- ence but to revere his memory, for he has be- comeithe victim of an assasstn. I feel that we have & deeper personal, interest in his death in ctnsequence of his visit. You suffered with him in the hours of his trials in his own house- | hold ‘and your prayers and hopes followed Bim across the mountains, Why is this man so dear to the people of the United’ States. Not any man since Lincolr so touched the hearts of the peopie as McKinley. His statesmanship is. @ matter of . historical record. If we look to his character we find an affectionate husband, a kindly, considerate man to.the weak and humble. He was a man of starn integrity in business and public affairs. He was a patriot ‘devoted to his country, but his greatést attribute, ome _inclosing all his other noble qualities, was his trust in an in- finite” God, He was a man of religious purpose. As a servant of the Prince of. Peace, he loved peace. He belleved In the settlement of international disputes by arbitration _rather than at the mwouth of the cannon. His last speech at the Pan-American Exposition is a grand _effort Worthy of our best study. His closing words, ““Reciprodity treaties are in harmony with the times, measures of retaliation are mot,” will live forever, Eloquent and forceful was the eulogy dslivered by Rev. Dr. Hemphill. In vig- orous language he denounced the perpe- trators of the cowardly deed which had deprived the nation of its idolized ruler, saying in part: Needs No Eulogy. After the placing of two beautiful wreaths on the bier of the fallen magistrate I bid you tarry a little longer until I have placed a sprig of Irish heather beside them. I do it in love for the dead man and the nation for which he died. He needs no eulogy; his good deeds speak for themselves. He has reached the land of the living and we are in the land of the dying. If we by prayer are lifted up to a no- bler and more strenuous life and are made to sce the justification of the ways of providence then these services hai®:not been held in vain. Of "the deep damnatien of his taking off I cannot trust myself to speak. The enormity of the crime demands that we should find the plotters who aided, abetted and ineited the red- handed anarchist to his hellish deed, and that adequate punishment be meted out to them. He and they together must make to a bereaved nation the full atonement for their cursed and Wretched. act. The spirit that struck down a good man must perish. Justice is a holy thing and 1s-quite as néedful as mercy, Any mis- taken kindness to the guilty is mistaken cru- ity to the inmocent. The gaping wounds of MeKinfey, cry ot for vengean If anarchy must have a victim why select such a man, Who was born of the people. and vas but living for the people’s Interests? He was a plain. honest man with a benevolent, true and grand heart. His affection for his lov- 18 wife but increased with her invalidism. and lasted through all the triumphs of the White FHlouse, Best of all his good qualities, and they Were many, he was a devout Christian, a fol- lower of Jesus Christ, living always near to Giod. An Ideal Death to Die. His was an ideal death for a Christian pa- triot to die. Mysterious to us, but not to God, With Whom there are mo mysteries. Perhaps there was no better way, no better time for him to pass away, placed s he was In the very zenith of his power. He died like a devout Christian in_the sure and certain hope of im- mortality. His was a glorious death. ‘The memory of the just is blessed. God bidss the memory of William McKinley. Anarchy is bloody treason, for it planned the malignant, cowardly assassination of a nation's ruler. What a mistake it made in killing 3c- Kinley, for in killing him it killed itself. If it is not yet dead we as a nation must arise and deal to it its death blow. Anarchy must not ba | tolerated in this free country any more. Wa should not permit red-handed assassins to en- joy its nrotection or breathe its native alr. We should hold them as a menace to the na- tlon's welfare, Perhaps at this very moment the body of our slain brother is beinz reverently lifted to his Jast resting place. In this hour let hand clasp tand and swear renewed allegiance to the coun- try for which the stricken chief magistrate lived and dled. Let vour prayers zo up for the cuccessor to God's . bravest. God's grandest. Ciod’s greatest man. God bless and keep this natien and hring anarchy to weedy end in the United States and all the world. After the singing of “Rock of Ages” by the choir Rev. Dr. Bell pronounced the henediction and the congregation rever- ently filed out of the chureh. L e i e maeaY United States. We know what that campaign was, 'Thie s not the time nor the place to discuss Lis principles and his political views. Suffice it to say that they met with the ap- proval of a majority of his countrymen. and he took his seat in Washington as the execu- tive head of seventy-five millions of people, adored by those who had placed him there and infinitely respected by those whose views dif- fered from his upon political and economicul questions, He served his term and was elected again, He had lived to see the principles advocated by him triumphantly successful. He had seen the country happier than it had been for many years, enjoying greater prosperity than it had ever been its fortune to experience; all classes and conditions of men better, wiser, happle: more in the house, more schools, more churches and more development on every side. He con- ducted the country through a forelgn war, forced upon his judgment, but. which, once embarked upon, filled the full measure of na- tional expectation. and made the flag of our country as respected abroad as it was loved #t home. Must Wipe Out Anarchy. Yet in the midst of this glory with his dream unfinished, his work undone, he dies, and the poor woman he had loved so well and cared for so tenderly stands to-day by his desd body and remains In Canton a desolate and child- less widow.. There is nothing in the history of man more pathetic than this story. There is no tale that the human imagiration can invent more calculated to touch the heart than this life and the agony of his death. I say again we do not understand why. We know that the man was absolutely pure in life. We know that he wa8 the incarnation of ju tice. We know that he loved everybody and nothing but sin. Why did he die? T ed that question before. There are subjects that might be here discussed, but, as the Mayor sald In his opening address to you, this is not the time nor the place to indulge in recrimina- tion and discyssion of now vivid and pressing question: Let us cast the vell over what Is gone, Let us‘leave the story of libel, of caricature, of misrepresentation. of the habitual holding ' out of this man, such as we knew him, to those who did not know him an oppressor and & tyrant and the enemy of his time. Let us leave all that behind, But thix iy certainly the hour for American citizens to say that hereafter there must be no more of that polley of de- traction. (Applause.) The public patience has been taxed enough. Publle endurance has reached its limit, And he who from this day forth—and the American people mwear it standing around that solltary grave at Canton—he who assails without just cause the honor, ublie Integrity and character of those selected to preside over the destinies of the natlon (I do not refer to falr criticism, but you know to what I refer)—he who indulges in that crime shall die. (Applause.) mtinued on Page Thirteen, ELOQUENT WORDS BY ARCHBISHOP N e A Continued From Page Two. sermod the conzregation gave heed to his every: word. The Archbishop in conclud- ing his sermoa read the special prayer for the President and the nation. He read feelingly and with pathos. When he finished, the soft strains of ‘‘Nearer, My (God, to Thee” pealed from the organ, and the Archbishop and his escort of priests and acolytes withdrew. l]r(\i his sermon the Archbishop In part said: We have come here this morning to recall the lifp. to’ mourn the death and to pray for the sodl of that noble Christian President who lately stood among us in health and who to day is deposited in the graye, slain by an as- sassin. He was a good man. You remember his visit to this city a few months ago. You saw him at the assembly of the League of the Sross. You noticed how simple, how demo- tie, how kind he was. You know what onscientious upright ruler he was: how he studied and tried to obey the will of the peo- nle. You saw him go and come like a plain | American citizen and you would not have imagined, you would not have believed that romewhiere in this land assassins planned the death of that good man. You would not hava belleved. that there was in any part of this free country one mind so malevolent as to olot 11l against President McKinley. Enormity of the Crime. You, as Catholies, understand the emormity of that crime; you have heen taught by the most_sacred precepts of the church to respect the civil Government and the constituted au- thorities, You have heard since your earliest perfod of your recollection the prayers which are offered on the altar for the Government, for all our lawful rulers. and particularly for the President. You know how persistently the Roman Catholie church has combated that evll, conscienceleas, godless, negative phlloso~ vy’ called anarchism, e Catholic church from the bewinning has been the conservator, the guardian, the ally of the olvil authority and of the atate, and in the dark and stormy period of history when all_government by right of law was imperiled and seomed about to §o to pieces it waa the Catholic church which came to the rescue of civil soclety, which saved the laws, literature, the arts of ‘peace, organized soclety and eivie Uzation from destruetion.
