SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Sept. 20th, 1901 President MCKinley Dead. President McKinley died shortly after two o'clock Saturday' morning, from the effecte of the bullet wounds received a week previous, at the hands of the Anarchist Czilgosz, while holding a reception in the Temple of Music building at the Pan- American Exposition at tuffelo. At first the President'a physicians werosangulne of his recovery, and it svas noc until the day before his death that the tide changed . Early Friday morning President McKin le y suffered a sinking spell, and from that Dime till his death he rapidly grow wealaer. His heart ceased to properly perform its functions, and despite the strenuous efferts of the attending physicians, he rapidly sank. President McKinley was born in Ohio) and was 58 yeers of age. He served thr ough the civil war and at its conclusion studied law, and gradually worked his way up until he reached the highest pinacle of honor in the gift of the nation. He wee twice elect ed governor of the State of Ohio, and at e time of bia assaseination was serving hie ,econd term aa President of the United &secs. A good and upright man, a clever statesman and an ardent lover of his country, he was universally revEred and respected by the American peoplii, and - the untimely and tragic death of their chief magistrate has oast a gloom of mourning over the whole nation. The remains lay in state in the city hall, Buffielo, on Sunday ; from there they were teken to Wa,shington, and thence to his home in Canton, Ohio, where they were interred on Thursday, by the spo oial request of Mrs. McKinley. According to the constitution of the United States, the duties and powers of the Chief Magistrate of the country devolve upon the vice-president, Theodore Roose- velt, during the -unexpired term of the late President, who subacribed to the neoess ary oath of office on Seturdaye Under existing circumstances, all the members of the Cabinet would resign office, but at the re- quest of Mr. Rocntevelt they will retain their portfolios as under the McKinley admiriia- tration. Ma, Reosevelt his also daelaged his intention to follow strictly the poliey maped out ancrpursued by his predecesaor. Preeident Roosevelt came into national prominence_during -the Spanish-American war. Heels a man of action, but is thole oughly educated and in every way fitted to -fill the position which has been so tragic- ally thruet upon lini. Hold Easy, Brother. Tho genial and clever senior editor of the Hamilton Times recently accompanied some fifty or sixty members of the Canadian Press Armor:dation, ,wich their wives and daughters and Lofoten), on a ten daye' pleas- ure trip. to the Lower Provinces. They travelled in gorgeausly ceparisoned palaoe circa elept on downey beds of ease ; fared sumptuously every day ; hob- nobbed with the Lords of the land, and all at greatly re• duced rates. Is it any wonder that, under such unusual circumstances, he should view ter things through golden epee cies _and feel constrained to conclu4 an intereating articleedeecriptive of his tri4 in this wise : " Having gone to the —cific Coast two K,,, years ago, and to the Atian ic this year, the inernbere of the Freers Amer fion are now able to appreciate the greatness of our country better than over before. There are Foam fine historic sites and scenes in the Lev.er Provinces, and there can be no bet- ter field for a summer holiday outing. Beth (trend Trunk and Ineercolonial loads ai e in firet-olass condition, ehe ears are comfort- able and the hotel 'oharges are moderate. With fine scenery, good fishing, boating and bachiug, the materials of history lying around in huge chunks, and plenty of [mere air, nothing is Licking to make a holiday in Eastern Caeada enjoyable. " Every dollar spent on the Intercelonial Railway is a dollar added to Canade's public revenue, for as the guidebooks say, this is ' your own road.' It may pever become a grdia carrier, but it is sure to be a favor. ite tourist route, not only for Canadians, hut fer citizen)) of the TJnited States. Young men may go west to make money, but, they will -always find the east a good place to spend it." _ . To the first paragraph of this quotation we can heartily say amen. But we can not bring ourself to any particular degree of en- thueiatim over the second and last para- graph. The public Dements of the Domin- ion or many years past show that a good many millions of dollars- of public money have been spent on this same Intercolonial railway, and we are not aware that the reyenue over expenditure has ever amounted to a fraction of a cent. On the contrary, we do know that -several millions of dollars more have been put into it than have ever been taken out of it. If this ia adding to Canada's public revenue, it is the sort of ad- dition which will not make the tax contrib. , utors very jubilant, although it seems- to have had that effect upon our worthy con- temporary. And, what is Worse still, the drain has -not yet stopped, but the cry is : still tor more, and some five or six millions I of dollars additional expenditure are prcm- i ised for the near future. Indeed, about the I only satisfaction we can derive from it is I 9 i that me can claim it as " our own road,4 1 and even that satisfaction is EC Cearly i bought as to make ib almost nauseating. The Times is right in saying that it " may never become a grain carrier," and that its principal use is for pleasure and to gratify sentiment, if wo omit its uses as a poli- tical engin:04er the party in power for the time being. i Being useless, therefore, for business purportes, the question naturally ariees, can we afford to keep it as _now, merely for pleasure, and to give our yoeng men an outletfor the expenditure of the' money they make by honest toil in the weet. We are Imre the Times has too much good sense to say that We,3*%13 or 'should. There is no doubt but the Interoolonial railway is now more efficiently and economi- cally managed than it was in days gone by. But there is still vase, room improvement in theee respects. We have no hesitation iu saying that it never will or can be con- duoted as itlehould be, nor Will the public obtain the benefit from it they have a right to expect, coneidering the enormous outlay, so long as it is being oonducted by a politio °al, head, as it is now, It is utterly con- trary to the nature of things', and to human nature, to expect that it will ever be other than a sink hole for money, With the heavy side on the expense side of: the ledger, as has always been the cage, until it is removed as far as possible from the realm of politici and political management. If the country is to retain the road, and it is to be made a paying or profitable coaoern, either direotlY or indirectly, it must be placed under the centrol and management of a competent and iodependent commisaion. Under such con. trol there is every probability that the road would be conducted on strictly business principles, the same as the other roada of the country which are under private manage. ment. So conducted, there is no reason why the,road should not become a peving concern, and thitt, instead of huge annual deficits, as hoe; been so common in the past, beth sides of the -ledger might be rry de to balance. We hepe that the Times will ex• ercise its_strongeat influence to bring about this result. It would be e splendid thing for the Liberal party to have a change of this kind to put to theircreclit, By it they might perhaps lose some polieioal ieflueuce in the Lower Provinces, but they would gain immeneely in public favor throughout., the Dominion Too Late in the, Day. Several of the Conservative papers, no doubt for lack of something better to write about, are trying to resurrect the old and long sioce exploded West Huron and Brock- ville election scandals. What their object may be we do not know, but the unanimity with which they have seized upon the ques- tion seggests that they are acting in aecord• anoe with instructions from some quartcr. However, they are entirely too late in the day to make any effect upon the public mind, even did they have anti valid, grounds to work upon. The tact, ',however, that they have no just grounds for complaict, does not seem to make their complaints any the lass bitter and inaccurate; The follow- ing earnplo we quote from last .week's Lon- don Free Press : It is now going on two years einoe 81r Wilfrirh took the Huron • and Brockville irquiriee from the committee,, aud promised Parliament and the country tnat he would give them to the ablest judges in the land, Tha judicial iequiry has not taken place. It never will teke place. There is not the slightest rcaeon for supposing that Sir Wilfrid Laurier ever intended that it should take place. In burkieg the inquiry Sir Wilfrid has vindicated and confirmed the estimate or hie political oharaeter formed by Metiers. Tarte, Bourasea an Richardson, upon intimate knowledge. That this statement is as v!odictiva as it is false, a brief recital of the facto will show. Away back in the het Ilirliainent, the Opposition assured the House that they had in their posseseion evidence of an extraor- dinary ecnispiracy entered into to defeat the will of the electors at .bye-eleetiona which had recently taken place in West Huron and Brookville, and that the elected mem• bere,—who, of course, wore Liberals,—owed their elections to the ,existence of these con- spiracies. Although entirely contrary to custom, the Government coneented to the appointment of a committee to inveetigate the charges. This inveseigating committee of Parliament sat for several weeks, exam- ined numbers of, witnesses, and finally re- ported to the House. While some irregulari- ties were fouhd to have taken place, tharo was no evidence produced to justify the wild accusations of the Opposition. At the next session of Parliament, the Op- position .profeesed to have received new evidence, and aaked that another com- mittee of the House be appointed. Tne Government refused to permit this, as they considered it unneocesary to incur the expense of a second committee of the same character as the first, to inveetigate the Berne charges that had.previoutly been investigated 8.nd reported upon. The Premier, however, premised that a judicial commission would .be appointed to inves- tigate and report upon the charges of the Oppotition. This commiesion was appoint- ed, and has now been in existence for over two years. But, strange as it may seem, it is nevertheless true, that the Oppoeitior, who were so ready to hurl charges acroes the Imre of Parliament, failed to formulate one single 3harge before this judicial com- mission, where their charg a would be thoroughly sifted and invee 'gated. And now they have the impedence to blame aed abuse Sir Wilfrid Laurier because they failed even to attempt t make their charges good. Where Sir Wilfrid ia to lame, it will puzzle them or any person else to show. They may raiee a big dust, and through that -dust heap abuse upon the Premier, but this is the most they have done and it is all they can do. Sir Wilfrid gave them all and more than they asked; s He fulfilled every promise he made to them and he had no right, either moral or legal, to do more. He was underno obligation to take tho case out of their hands and prosecute it for them. Had he done iso, they would be the first to accuse him of -having interfered with what was not his business, for the purpose of barking the inquiry. Because he did not do 'this, but having furnished them with the means eci establish _their charges if there was anything in them, he left -them to their own devices!, they are still unsatisfied and abuse him in the style we qUote above. The deception is not hard to goo through. They have failed and throUgh their failure, after the brag and blustrr they indulged in, have !made them. selYes ridiculous before the world. And, to try and hide their failure and the xidioule it justly brings upon them, they abuse Sir the man who generously placed at their disposal all and more than they aske . Surely they arei not so foolish as to thin the public will not see through suohn trans %rent farce. OIMME=INIIMMIIIII News of the Week.

Last Friday our base ball team went over to Brussels and beat the famous teeth of that place by a score of 7 to 4. While there, arrangements were made for both eheir base ball and foot ball teams to come over here on Monday, whieh they did. In the mean- time there was a petition circulated among the business men to close their stores from 3 to 5 to see the games, whiieh they did, so there was a good crowd at the grounds. Tha band was ia attendance. The first to be played was the base hall matoh, but we had too strong a team for Brueaels, as the *more showe, being 7 to 18 in favor of Blyth. Oaly ten men weht to bat in the three last:innings Wart° pitched, his palying was remarkable. The umpire who came was simply no good, giving ,poor de- cisions on both sides, but it wouldn't have altered the score any whoever had ampired, as Blyth had by far the beet team. ' In fact, it is doubtful if there is a team in this part that can beat them. This -is their sixth victory and no losses.
