EPTEMBER 19th has passed into history as one of the saddest days of the nation and of her communities everywhere. An itnmeuse assembly of people came together at the court house at 2:30 p. tn., for memorial ser vices. It was the president’s funeral <lay Evidences of respect and loyalty were everywhere visible. Business was generally suspended. Appropriate and beauti ful decorations were made 111 many windows, and at the court room. Four ad dresses were given by local citizens. J C. Cooper spoke on McKinley as a soldier. He said, in brief: "Turning back the leaves of history, 40 years ago we find that the Ohio school boy, William McKinley, at the age of bS enlisted on the nth day of June. 1861, as a private in Company E, 23d Ohio in fantry, commanded by Colonel W. S. Rosecrans; Stanley Matthews was lieu tenant-colonel and Rutherford B Hayes was major. He was among the first to answer the call of President Lincoln for volunteers to suppress the great rebel lion. His patriotism was genuine, and he never felt prouder in all his life than he did when General Fremont, after thumping his chest and looking into his bright boyish eyes, said, ‘You’ll do.’ Only the American volunteer, after the searching examination, knows what it is to be pronounceil the best breed of all the earth. Young McKinley carried a musket in the ranks for 14 months, ris ing to the rank of sergeant. Many years afterward, when governor of Ohio, he re ferred to that period in these words: ‘I always look back with pleasure upon those 14 months in which I served in the ranks. I was but a school boy, and it taught me a great deal. I have always been glad that I entered tli-> service as a private ami served those months in that capac ity.’ There was no more popular or braver boy in the regiment, nor did they have atiy lack of fighting. Within six weeks after leaving Columbus, they were in the battle of Caruifex Ferry, where they drove the confederates back and forth through the mountains, were drenched with incessant rains, suffered for food and met the roughest kind of campaigning. In all the four vears of McKinley’s volunteer ser vice the battles and skirmishes came thick and fast, more than thirty in all. He was never a day off duty nor missed a fight. Antietam ranks as the bloodiest bat tle of that awful four years war. The heroic boy came out of this battle with a lieutenant’s sword by his side. The rise was slow, but his promotions were well earned. He was first lieutenant, captain, and at the close of the war, a major. General Crook recommended him to appointment to a higher grade, endorsed by General Sheridan. A few years ago, while governor of Ohio, he delivered an ad dress on the battlefield at Lookout Mountain, during the national encamp ment. It was a reunion of‘the blue and the gray’ on that historic field. He urged the veterans of both armies to lay aside all thought of bitterness engen dered by that terribie strife, and paid highest compliments to the bravery of the soldiers of both north and south. He said: ‘No greater valor was ever shown than that possessed by the American sol dier. Americans never surrendered’— then pausing a moment, continued—‘ex cept to Americans.’ The whole moun tain shook with the tremendous ap plause, veterans of both armies vieing with each other to do the greatest honor to tbe grand sentiment. They clasped hands, embraced, and tears coursed down many a scarred cheek and grizzled beard. Afflictions though they seem severe, whether of divine intent or chance calamity, make surer the fact that There is no great path, whithersoever it be, But somewhere leads through Gethsemane. The people he served and loved are gathered in a legion places to cherish his mem ory. None feel this sorrow more than do his comrades of the Grand Artny of the Republic, and none will hold his memory more dear. When the last sad rites are over and the final’taps'sounded above his grave, they know it is one more com rade added to the ranks of the Great Commander of us all, undone less here, and they too can sing, ‘Nearer My God to Thee.’ ’’ Rev. H. T. Atkinson spoke of the martyred president as a Christian. He said: “The opinions of a great man always possess a peculiar value in the minds of the people, and of those names which stand highest in history today, the most hon ored belong to men who were never ashamed to acknowledge themselves as hum ble servants of Almighty God. In this illustrious list will be included in the histo ry of the future, the name of William McKinley, the honored president whose trag ic death the nation so bitterly mourns today In the true sense of the word, a Christian means one whose life is a continual reflection of the spirit of the Master; one who does justly, loves mercy, and walks humbly with his God. In this light of the word. I am ready to maintain that our late president was in every particular worthy of the name. Both public and private testimony conspire to show that his life was modeled according to his faith in Christ, while a spirit of resignation like that of his Master in Gethsemane was exhibited iu bis last earthly moments, as was shown by the words he uttered when in the valley of the shadow: ’Goodbye, all, goodbye; it is God’s way, His will be done.’ As a Christian he shared the hopes of all who trust in Christ, and the parting from earth was made easier by knowledge of the reunion to which his faith inspired him to look forward in the land of tbe blessed, beneath the shadowless skies of which are gathered the truly great who have preceded him from earth. As a Christian he has left a memory which will be 0ORRECT 0LOTHING For Men and Boys Made with attention to detail that insures satisfaction to the wearer.

He thus becomes a model de serving of study by those who hope to succeed. Strength of purpose may be men tioned as one of these elements of his character. Had Mr. McKinley not possessed a clearly defined purpose in his life, who supposes that he could have reached the eminent position attained ? Prudence seems to me to be perhaps tbe most marked element in this man’s character. He was a type of the conservative man. McKin- ler was no radical. Cautiousness was conspicuous in all his political career. His conservatism has often been the object of severest criticism. It nevertheless is true that this element, prudence, is of greatest value in the well-developed and largely successful life. President McKinley was an houest man iti his dealings with his fellows. Business integrity no one has ever denied lied him. Though many years the holder of lucrative offices aud of such command! _ 1 ___ _____ ___ ___ ding political influence as ___ to _ have opened easy access to large material spoils, he died a comparatively poor man. This is one of the highest compliments which can be bestowed upon his life. Pres ident McKinley was a chivalrous man. He was a knightly man. In his domestic life he is said by those who have known him best to have been a model. In hie devoted attentiveuess, under all circumstances, to his wife, always in delicate health, he appears as the tender, chivalrous man. Iu this regard lie’ may well be taken by our young manhood, too often thoughtless of these fiuer parts in charac ter, as a model eminently worthy to be copied. The iufluence of a life, thus sue, cessful, thus characterized, must be far-reaching in its good, now that the life as lived here has passed away.” ’ ‘Nihil de niortuis nisi bonum’ is the well-known but exceedingly tender senti ment nursed by centuries in regard to poor departed mortals. Let nothing but what is good be said of the dead. Let no bitter criticism escape the lips. Let the pall of sweet charity drop over the cold remains.” Such was the opening of Father Hickey’s splendid address. The reverend gentleman portrayed the prosperous, happy and in the main contented conditions of our republic under the late presi-’ dent’s benevolent statesmanship in comparison with the discord and broils and restless conditions, the result of centuries of misgovernment and ruin reaching their climax in the older nations of the world. The speaker alluded in very feeling terms to the last wordsol Mr. McKinley, when, after bidding his wife and friendsand all goodbye, he said: “The will of God be done,” and after a pause added, "It is His way.” Here is a great guide and a great lesson for the country to adopt, he said. The way of God, righteous, unchangeable and eternal, not the shifting, vacillating, treacherous ways of man. His way leads to life; the ways of the world to a certain destruction. NOTE« ON AVAHCHV It is up to Patterson, N. J., to set the first example to the country in dealing with anarchists. We should make every assailant of the president guilty of treason, and have him executed, as all traitors ought to be. They say there is a woman at the bot tom of everything, and you can general ly depend on it there is: Emma Gold man The fate of anarchists lias been decid ed on thousands of street corners in the last few days, and it is to be hoped for once that curbstone law will bring forth some vigorous legislation against these unspeakable wretches. Presidents should cut out handshaking at public receptions, or adopt the Arizona method of checking weapons at the door. There is no real sense in promiscuous handshaking, anyway. It only satisfies a false sentiment and tires out the presi dent. out the members of this order; in de stroying the organization, preventing it^ meetings and suppressing its publica tions. Furthermore, every believer in the doctrine of anarchy should be made to show good evidence of reform or else be deported. If there is nowhere else to send them, let some remote, isolated «pot of the earth be sought where the snakes and the vultures will make them • lit companions. It is ridiculous to say that congress has not the power to rid society of such a scourge. The people with one voice demand it and we believe that congress will find a way. I LUAVETTE. Mrs. L. Dixon is visiting here. Grandma Perkins is quite sick again. J. L. Smith lost a valuable horse this week. Prof. A. Bitner and wife moved to Dal las this week. All the hop growers near here have finished picking their hops. Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Belcher of Portland are visiting relatives and friends here. Memorial services were held in the M. E. church on Thursday at 2 o’clock. At the M.E.church the pastor preaches his farewell sermon next Sunday morn ing. Mrs. Case had the misfortune to sprain her ankle while picking hops in Shtrer’s yard last week. We notice in reading the personal opinions of prominent Oregonians on anarchy, that a number have the impres sion that the wretched anarchists are very rare. This is a great mistake. Almost every exchange that comes to our table gives some account of seditious utter ances on the part of some person in the community, and the summary knocking down or discharge from employ of the offender. The latter act shows a healthy public sentiment, but it is also manifest Mrs. Nettie Burlingame and daughter that rabid enemies of the government of Columbia county arc visiting Mrs. Lewis. are altogether too numerous. An exchange says: “The despicable lunatic, who with one hand grasped the band offered in the spirit of fellowship, while with the other be treacherously laid low the one who extended it, is not of himself, worthy of thought or atten tion, but the spirit abroad of which this dastardly act is the exponent, is worthy the most careful attention.’’ The paper does not mean what it says. The wretch is worthy of the most summary attention as a public example, and if the plea of lunacy is made in his defense, no insane asylum in this country is strong enough to hold him. Indeed, there are but two good reasons why his life should lie spared fora moment from the vengeance of a mob. Such an act would constitute an endorsementof mob rule in all cases, might result in the hanging of innocent men, while all who have studied the lofty character of Wm. McKinley know that he would never endorse violence that would destroy the diguity and ma jesty of the law. We admire General Nelson A. Miles' position on this question of anarchy and iiow to treat it. He says “I feel that we have been lax in guarding the presi dent. When you consider that three presidents in 36 years have met the as sassin's bullet, it shows that we are toe free ip exposing the president to unnec essary dangers. I believe that the pres ident should be safely guarded, and that he should not take part in public func tions that would render him liable to at tack from any anarchist and lunatic that may be privileged to mingle in such a crowd. As to the punishment of an archists, I believe that congress should pass a law which would inflict the death i penalty for any attempt to take the life ! of the president, or for any conspiracy j on the part of an anarchist circle against I tbe office, whether the attempt were sue- I cessful or not.'' If anarchy cannot be turned over to the military for suppression, let it lie del egated by special act of congress to the department of justice, with powers ex- ! Thoee indebted to 8. A.
