WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
(Specially written fox the "Star.") Thia is the price they pay Vfho taste of Power and SwayTo each there comes- ithe day Or _>oii or iat.-^-When midst their daily life, With ease -and blessing rife, The pistol br ihe knife Ileal out their 3?ate. Of nought the murderer reck., Ho spare- nor age nor sex, No people', love protects, No splen _id reign. Hate — Madness— Anarchy, * Find tool* prepared to die, Seise opportunity— And they are slain. If it be Destiny M'Kinley, -too, ehaiM die, Deep England's sympathy, Keen her alarm - Save for that Power benign, Which by the Will divine, Kept from our Eoyal line Danger and harm. Let, ihen, ell peoples' freo, Cut down this upas-tree, Springing from Anarchy, Stock, branch and sh cotCauterize moral rot. Wipe up the awful blot, Cut out the leper-spot, Cut to the toot.
