NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Shooting of President McKinley.
Everybody will be pleased to see that the condition, of President MCKINLEY is not so serious as was at first supposed and that we pointed out on Saturday, the death of hopes of saving his life ne entertained. As
the President just now would be a great blow to the United States and would throw the whole of the affairs of the country into disorder. It is pleasant to hear that the would-be-murderer has been arrested and we trust that no false sense of pity or leniency will be allowed to stand in the way of his It is being punished as he deserves, difficult to imagine what grudge a Pole could have had against President McKIN LEY and the only probable explanation for the motive of the crime seems to be that of
anarchy. To these misguided people every
body who occupies a prominent position is a tyrant and worthy of death at their hands. They somehow seem to forget that there must be leaders in all things, that their own anarchical societies have leaders, and that were they to succeed in their design of doing away with all Governments they themselves would probably introduce a despotism such as the world has never known. Such people must be lunaties, No right minded man would ever hold such opinions. The best methods of dealing with them would be to treat them as mad dogs, and destroy the lot. They are a menace to society at large and a danger even to themselves,

In the interest of science, Dr. T. Ja Bajguro, of Chicago, has asked the Board of Health of that city for a permit to bury a live hypnotised man. He means to show that there is a point so near to death that ordinary doctors would confound it with death. To put a person three days and three nights under grounds with 'ani- mation suspended and respiration unnecessary is what Dr. Betiero says he will do, hypnolising his man and awakening him after he has been dug up.
