From California [excerpt]
Editor RURAL WORLD: A letter from California
can hardly be considered without voicing the deeply felt indignation of its
people against the dastardly attack made on the life of the Chief Magistrate
of the Nation. Thousands are scanning the papers every day for reports from
his bedside, and a prayer goes up from every loyal heart for his speedy recovery.
(God’s will was otherwise, and Mr. McKinley said, “Let His will be done.”—Editor.)
Though far removed from us, our hearts are not
less warm, our indignation not less firm against the yellow journals of the
country for stirring up the worst passions of humanity for their own selfish
ends. Here, but for them, pretending to be in favor of the laboring classes,
while indirectly their worst enemies, the unfortunate strikes would have been
settled long ago, but which are now doing untold harm to the State which had
just entered on an era of unprecedented prosperity. [omit]
