Cattaraugus Republican.PUBLISHED FRIDAYS AT Terms: $.50 PER ANNUM, Address All Communications To The Publishers, Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office Owing to last week’s rain the state fair at Syracuse was a financial failure. There were not more than 45,000 paid admissions. New York Day at the Pan-American was postponed from September 18th to October 9th on account of the death oi President McKinley. The people of Eddyviile and vicinity will hold memorial services for our dead president Sunday, Sunday, Sept. 22, 1901, at 2 o’clock p. m. at the M. E. church. In a letter to the pastors which was read in the Roman Catholic churches in Buffalo on Sunday Bishop Quigley, referring to the death oi President McKinley, spoke of him as "the brave, strong and good man, at once the idol and model of bis fellow citizens." The laws of France cut off anarchists from notoriety. Their trials are not reported in ithe newspapers. In case of capital punishment the execution is not described and the burial place is secret. These regulations are due to the fact that vanity is a ruling passion with anarchist assassins. Henry C. Lake ot Fredonia died Sunday, aged 78 years, from injuries received some 10 days before. He was uncle to Justice John Woodward of the supreme court. He was an intimate friend of Horace Greeley and Gov. Fenton, and was promently idnntified with Western New York politics for 50 years. No administration since the civil war made so much history as that of President McKinley. The results may be thus summarized: The Dingley tariff; the sound-money law; the war with Spain; the annexation of Porto Rico, the Philippines and Guam; the annexation of Hawaii; the annexation of Tutuila; the organization of Cuba. William J. Bryan in an address at Monmouth, Ill., on Friday declared the assassination oi President McKinley a natural culmination, and gives the enemies of the popular form of government the opportunity to smile id derision and say the United States is no difierent from other governments, that it does not rest upon the elections of people, but has to be<illegible> At the Allegany County <illegible> Belmont last week Warrea Russell of Cattaraugus indicted for rape in the second degreee was convicted and sentenced to the Auburn state prison for five years. Russell is 31 years of age and was employed as a farm hand near Friendship, when he attempted to rape Mildred Carlton, a ten year old girl of Friendship. Russell claimed he was intoxicated at the time. It is the opinion in Washington that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts will be the closest adviser and Intimate friend of President Roosevelt, and will be his secretary of state if Secretary Hay should feel compelled to leave the cabinet and Senator Lodge could be persuaded to leave the Senate. Next to Senator Lodge Elihu Root of New York is tbe most likely candidate for the premiership should there be a change. After waging a hopeless battle for nine weeks President Shaffer threw up the sponge and the great steel strike comes to an end. The Amalgamated association gives up the control of the mills gained by the companies since the strike began, including all the plant of the American Tube company and about 18 others. The association has, therefore, lost not only an immense amount in wages, but its prestige. The strikers in the mills gained by the companies are left out in the cold. The companies insist that they have made long-term contracts with the successors of these hands, and must stand by their agreement. Shafier is execrated and denounced by the labor organizations for leading them into a strike for which there was no just or adequate reason. An action was brought by Richard Stafford of Olean against Adam Kinley and others, proprietors of the sole leather tannery n the north side of the Erie railroad, for a permanent injunction restraning them from the use of the Two Mile Creek in connection with their tannery business, upon the alleged ground that they were polluting the waters and damaging the plaintiff’s laud, which lies below the tannery and along the creek. The action was referred and tried before C. D. Davie of Salamanca, the trial occupying 11 days. The referee has just filed his report in favor of the defendants and denying to the plaintiff the relief asked for. M. B. Jewell was the attorney for the plaintiff and J. H. Waring and C. S. Cary for the defendants. Judge Kruse was originally attorney for the defendants, but upon his appointment to office of justice of the supreme court, the other attorneys were substituted in his place. Upon the trial of the action a large amount of technical proof relating to tannery business was produced, and the case was regarded as one of extreme |
importance, as a decision adverse to the defendants would have made it necessary to discontinue business. The Belmont Despatch says Hon. Charles H. Brown is undergoing some joking from the attorneys who are aware of his being a defendant in a suit for $20,000 damages brought by a disbarred lawyer of Tonawanda. A charge of conspircy is made and a number of the justices of the supreme court, U. S. judges and the U. S. officials in western New York will be the defendants in the action. Clarence M. Jones, editor and proprietor of the Press-Post, a democratic paper at Columbus, O., was mobbed Sunday evening in consequence of offensive references in his newspaper to the dead president. One of the head lines in his paper was a vicipus paraphrase of the President’s last last words. This headline read : “ His last words to his loving wife are said to have been these, to wit: It is the devil’s own way of trying to circumvent God ; amen.’ Tbe police shielded Jones from serious harm. He is an erratic fellow, and is believed by some to be half crazed. The New York Sun says Mr. Roosevelt enters the white house with the heritage of the example of the most eminent and successful administration in our history, and, , moreover, he has demonstrated that he possesses of himself already distinguished qualifications for the ppst. He is a man of great vigor and positiveness of character, typified to every eye in his very physical features, He is the most striking embodiment of contemporary Americanism; is of spotless honor and unconquerable fidelity to the loftiest and sternest ideals of public duty. As governor of New York President Roosevelt exhibited the most desirable qualities of an executive officer. His administration was of absolute moral purity. Its uncomprising integrity was recognized by every political party. It was also notably sane, conservative and practical. No trace of eccentricity or of attitudinizing to catch popular applause appeared in it: It was simple, businesslike and efficient. It satisfied the requirements of our democratic system of government and represented its truest and highest ideals. Theodore Roosevelt as governor of New York showed that he is a man on whom the American people can rely as a prudent, and a safe and a sagacious successor to William McKinley. Following in the footsteps ot the statesman assassinated, and uplifted by his example, Roosevelt will sustain the dignity of tbe exalted office to which he has come through a tragedy so awful, and conserve the honor and welfare of the nation. Theodore Roosevelt <illegible> soon earn and receive the confidence of every of our civilization and all our people.

QUICK WORK PROMISEDTHE PRESIDENTS ASSASIN INDICTEDHe declined to Answer Any Questions in Court, or to talk with his Counsel, Leon F. Czolgosz, alias Fred Nieman, was indicted Monday afternoon by the Erie county court grand jury, for the crime of murder in the first degree, in fatally shooting President William McKinley, at the Temple of Music, in the Pan-American Exposition grounds, at 4:15 o’clock on the afternoon of September 6th. When arrigned before Judge Edward K. Emery, in the county court, at 5:36 o’clock, the prisoner stubbornly refused to.answer questions repeatedly asked of him by District Attorney Penny, as to whether he had counsel or wanted counsel. The district attorney then suggested that inasmuch as the defendant refused to answer, counsel should be assigned. Judge Emery assigned Hon. Loren L. Lewis and Hon. Robert C. Titus, former supreme court justices of Buffalo, whose names had been suggested by the Erie County Bar Association. Czolgosz was taken into court again on Tuesday. This was made necessary by his refusal to plead on the day before Tuesday, Judge Lewis appeared for him in accordance with the court’s assignment, and the formality of demanding a trial was gone through. It is understood that Czolgosz refused to talk even with Judge Lewjs, and he absolutely refused to answer any questions put to him by the court and the district attorney. This accords exactly with the course urged in anarchist literature in such cases, and supports-the theory that Czolgosz is a thoroughly drilled anarchist and the agent of a dastardly plot. It is the reverse of what might be expected from an insane man. It betrays a self-command that woukf be impossible for one not in full possession of his faculties. It is understood that the trial of Czolgosz will begin next Monday, and will bd pushed forward as rapidly as judicial proprieties will permit. Personal.E. G. Hunton is out from Buffalo this week.
