| How vastly infamous and infern-
j al now seems the crime of the mur
der of President McKinley since all
our hopes of his recovery are cast
down by his death at last!
The gloom that fell on our little
community last nigh?
when the wires told that
“The president is dead” cannot be
described. What must the effect
have been on those vast communi
ties whore thousands stand appalled
by the national calamity.
A mean,insignificant wretch is all
that is left out of which the nation
could look for revenge One’s indig
nation is that of the nation, almost
beyond the power of control. A lit
tle touch of the match and as one
man the people would rise up and
tear limb from limb every dastard
ly wretch who is now or had ever
called himseif or herself au anarch
ist. How can these devils be allow
ed to remain in the United
States ?
Every nation of the earth feels
the gloom, but that which effects
the people of this great free nation
is without a parallel. In the midst
of a prosperity that looks increuita-
bie to mankind comes the death of
the president casting a dismal and
unearthly shadow over all. There
are no words to portray the stupen
dous crime: it is better left to sii
ence while the people return to
calmer consideration of the horror
about them.
The story is told best by the tele
grams as each came like the tones
of a beli buoy telling how the tide of
his life flowed back inio the ocean
of Silence.

A Letter From One of Burke’s Boys Who
Is Attending School Far Away From
Home.
1 It is wiih miv h pleasure that THE CITI
ZEN publishes in this issue a letter to his
mother from one of our boys who is away at
a business school. This one, as all mothers
are. is most solicitous for the welfare of her
sou, and indeed must feel gratified to know
that he is inspired with a noble ambition,
which is a most essential stone In the founda
tion of success. It would be well for any
young man to not only read this letter, but
take the sentiment to heart; and itcannot fail
to be beneficial even though the thoughts
come from one who is still a youth.
The real men of the future are the gritty
and brainy boys of the present, and we are
glad to know that we have many who are
iooking upward and pushing forward. *
“LEXINGTON, KY.. Sept. 9th, 1E0I,—My
Dear Mother:—Having received your appre-
ciatedletter some days ago, I will now en
deavor to answer it.
“1 am sog'ad that my cousins enjoyed their
trip North, and both as vou say se-in so much
improved: for you know that I am always so
anxious about them that my love for them
and also the rest of your fam ly. to some ex
tent inspires me to nobler things.
•‘Mother, when I left home, (sweet home) I
was a iran m size, but a mere boy in thoughts
and ways, but now, I have gotten out of these
ways. I now feei my utter iusignificanee in
this world, comparing myself with ray su
periors. and I see the absolute necessity of
grasping the opportunity that has presented
itself; that comes and knocks only once at
each man’s door, and if unheeded and sligh'-
ed never returns aaain. This is the para
mount issue for a man to consider, and sweet
is the reward, when a man has the self con
sciousness of knowing that he has taken this
tide at the flood, which we are told lead on
to fortune.
“Looking at the other s'de, and seeing
those that do not take advantage of their
opportunities has a tendency to make my
hold, ail the more firm. So lew boys realize
this fact until it is too late, and seeing their
mistake often crave for the golden age that is
past, but too late. < ppoitunities are very
sensitive things, if you slight them on their
first presentation they never return. 1 know
that 1 have slighted mine to a certain extent,
when they were presented; but thanks to the
Omnipotent God and to you, my beloved
insSB
mother, I can say that I am now graspingev-
„ I erythingin my reach that is beneficial and
tuvjja.u- w hich may lead me to higher things In mind
tances upon tho arrival of a young- j aud body; thereby avoiding the sting of re
miss to gladden their household.Al- I ,uorse Which has once pricked me to the

That’s a dead issue, so
all the big dogs tell us and
what they say must un
doubtedly be true. Still we
can’t help from feeling sad
over the funeral of so val
ued a friend, for from our
earliest memory of money
silver and that only has
been our constant and
faithful companion. Gold
we have never known per
sonally, but we have read
that Capt. Kidd and’ his free
rover's had it in piles and
that Wall Street keeps it as
an “Open Sesame” to work
the government bond vault
and that the national treas-
ury now and then gets a
surplus on hand for ivhat
use no one knows unless it
is to hold it for the rich.
Greenbacks or Bank
notes we have used in our
later life to pay debts with,
but the shining, glittering
silver is the thing we have
always used to buy bread,
to purchas our garments
and buy Santa Claus for
our little ones; the only uses
a poor man has for money.
What a, death that
was ! Then the poor man’s
help and aid died, and for
long years to come as pro •
ducts become lower and
lower in price and money,
the medium of exchange,
gets higher a,nd higher in
value then we all will look
back on our youthful times
and say “what good old
times there were once.”
Silver is dead and
alas ! those who seemed to
love her most while living
are the first to tarn their
backs and whisper words
of contempt over her last
resting place.
Here’s to your ashes
dear, departed dead ! and
may those who traitorously
assisted in slaying their
best friend reap the reward
all of the Brutu.
THE CASH CONCERN
Oi passing the grave must
needs shed a few tears over
a faithful friend, but
we must put prices lower
ajui give the best for the
money for it (money) is now
a scarce article.
