Books pm- DURHAM CHRONICLE A few short days ago. a thrill of horror and indignation swept through the whole of the civilized world. when the electric wires flashed to every quarter of the globe, the dread news of the dastardly shooting of the Chief Magistrate, of the great Re- public, to the south of us; and which. alas, has been only too successful in accomplishing its fell object. Presi- dent McKinley. of the United States of America. breathed his last at the Hilburn House, in Buflalo, a: a quarter past-d two. on the morning of the 14th instant; treacherously stricken down by a bullet from a pistol in the hand of a Anarchist, a ruflian, who under the guise of friendship, in the very act. of grasping the hand ex- tended to him, as a fellow citizen and friend by his Read Magistrate. fired the cowardly shots against an unarmed man. An act deprives a great nation of its Executive Head, and plunges it into an abyss of sorrow and grief. that will take a long time to eradicate. Despite all the atten- tion and care of the most illustuous physicians. and trained nurses. that could possibly be obtained, the irrevocable “fiat” had gone forth from an over-ruling Providence and the President passed_peacef all y away.

In our opinion the election, even oi municipal ofleers. is too important a thing to be aided with. Every municipality is an imoi portsnt concern requiring the greet- est care in selecting men‘ who are fit in every sense of the terdato dis-‘ charge the duties of municipal government for the best interests of the electors. We have always made it a rule to submit peaceably to the will of the majority as expressed by the ballet, but we are, nevertheless, fully confident that majorities are often wrong. Like other municipali- ties, the town of Durham is growing in importance, and with projected improvements, and others that are likely to follow, it behaves the rate- payers to consider seriously the question of a council for the year 1902. We want to see the very best men procurahle at the head of our council board. Tun Cnnomcuc is not built on the straddle-bug principals. but we do not wish to be ofiensively aggressive. Let the public talk . through our columns. and when vot- |ing time comes, let the voting be right. Tilbury had a hre Saturday which destroyed the “ Times ” printing of- fice and other buildincs, entailing a loss of several thousand dollars, parc- ially insured. A In all the Churches here on Sun- day last special references were made to the death 0! President McKinley. and never before was there a greater manifesstion of sorrow. The Hamilton Police attempted to stop Socialists from speaking on the streets on Saturday night last, when a small riot ensued and the police had to make free use of their batons. The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York arrived at Quebec on Mon- day last. A change in the plans of the Royal visit may be made to give the Royal couple an opportunity to attend the burial oi' President Mc- Kinley at Washington. The Manitoba and Northwest wheat crop. it is estimated will net the farmers about thirty million dol. lars hnd place the Canadian North- west in a splendid condition financi- ally. The total yield. it is said. will be about fifty million bushels. Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in President. as successor to the late Win. McKinley at 3:38 p. m. on Sat- urday last. and announced that he would continue the policy of his pro- decessor absolutely. He is 43 years of age and the youngest man to fill the Presidental chair. It is thought by some authorities that the bullets used in the assassin- ation of President McKinley had been poisoned, the Opinion being based on the gangreneous condition of the stomach and other parts through which the second bullet passed. Other expert opinion is reported to consider the hypothesis as nonsen- sical. A despatch from Rome dated Sept. 15th to the Mail and Empire says: The Pope yesterday prayed for an hour for the soul of President Mc- Kinley. On receiving the news of the President’s death His Holiness wept in uncontrollable emotion. All audiences at the Vatican have been susneuded. The Pope has telegraph- ed his condolences to Bufialo. What is the matter with the awn- ings on our streets? Are we a race of piginies? What is the usual‘ height of a man? Five leet six' inches? Whatofawoman? Why should our hate be demolished and rolled in the mud when a little trouble would elevate the objection- able awnings to a proper height .so that passengers might pass freely under them. Would not an indict- ment lie against the Town for an obstruction to the sidewalks? We think it would.
