. ; IIETHOD nr HI3 UADmSS.
AFor cold-blooded deliberationi and
persistent malevolent perseverance,
the story told in Sunday's Star by
the assassin of President McEinley;
suTDasses anvthing : of that .--kind
that we have ever read.
He declares that he had ; no ac
complices, had planned with no one
about it, and that he alone v is re
sponsible for the conception, and
commission of the crime.- Eight
days before the assassination he re
solved to do something, with that re
solve unnermost in his 7 mind he
went to Buffalo," and there resolved
to kill the President. He followed
him from Tuesday till Friday, and
several timea he was near enough to
him to : shoot but ' was afraid he
might miss, his mark, and kept on
the trail until he got almost close
enough to put his concealed pistol
against the body of his victim, fie
took no chances on missingand he
shot to Mil, for the first ball struck
the breast bone, 'and If - it hadn't
been for the stooping posture of the
President, would have been sufficient
to accomplish the deadly purpose of
the assassin. He had time to think,
time to ponder on the enormity of
the deed he contemplated,-but fail
ing to succeed the first, second and
third day, the fourth found him still
resolved, early on the ground, among
the first in the line of people moving
to greet the President who stood to
greeVand , welcome-them, and ' then
with "his1 handkerchief ruse," not
withstanding the 'fact1 that he was
tremulous with excitement, he ac
complished his fell purpose, shot to
kill without a cause and without
motive. . . : -
This act differs from that of the
Anarchist drawn by lot to kill, and
who is sworn, under penalty of death,
to obey, for he was - not "delegated,
but took this murder upon himself
voluntarily, and pursued his victim
with astonishing method and per
sistency. ' . , ; ? v-
-Tie says he was crazed by the
speeches of that female miscreant,
Emma Goldman:, filled with an im
pulse he was powerless to resist if he
would, and that he would have shot
if it had brought instant death to
himself. This will be his plea when
put on trial insanity that he was
crazed and therefore, while he knew
what he was doing and could and did
plan with the cunning of a healthy
brain, he was not responsible : for
what he did. Thatis the only plea
that can be made. But that will
not save him from imprisonment for
life if the President survives, or from
the electrocution chair if he dies.
mSPIT SUBSIDY PLEA.
. The Philadelphia Press, , a sub
sidy advocate, takes the speech of
Mr. John B. Cleveland, cotton man
ufacturer, delivered at Spartanburg,
S. C, as a text for the -following
subsidy booming editorial :
""Cotton' mannfacturiBg offers
great future for the South. The great
trouoie u to una muKeu in which
to sell the manufactured : goods. ;The
raw material is grown in the 8outh,
and Mr. Cleveland says that it can be
manufactured as cheaply there as anv
where else. But new markets are not
available, principally for lack of direct
neamsnip lines.' Argentina buys f 10,
oou.ow worth ot jcotton goods on
year of the kind manufactured in the
Bouth, but the United State supplies
only $50,000 worth to . that country.
The raw material la transported from
the South to Europe, there manufac
tured Into cotton gooas and then tsent
to Argentina. If a Southern manu
facturer, wants to aend his goods to
Argentina he has to ship them by the
way or Europe. There are several
direct lines of steamships from - Eu
rope to Argentina, but not one from
the United States. : r .
"Lunareas or thousands or tons p:
coal are sent from England toAnreh
tina every year which could be shipped
just as cheaply from the United Statea
excepting for lack of ocean transporta
tion." If the Government would give
me necessarv aia American steamship
lines; would : be established to South
America and the. United States could
supply both the coal and cotton-goods
now sent there from Europe. Some of
those vessels could sail with cargoes
irom eoutn. America to Hdrope and
then bring cargoes from Earops to the
United States, though coffee, rubber
and other South American products
wouxa supply cargoes to a large extent
tor vessels returning direct to the
United-States - But without steam
ships we can never get that trade.
Europe will continue to supply the
cotton manufactures and the coal to
Argentina,' Brazil and , other South
American countries which could bet
ter Ce supplied by this country!' p
