If the Mississippi authorities have done
anything to investigate the Chisolm butch
cry we are not aware of it. but would like
to hear that some of the Kemper county
murderers had been hung.
We will here state that the FREEMAN
would delight to stir up Il feeling of decen-
cy, or, in fact, any kind OF feeling, even
sectional feeling that would render
the commission of such brutal, cowardly
and cold blooded murders not only odious,
but positively dangerous in the north, and
in all parts of the country, and educate
Christian gentlemen to that point where
they would not feel called upon to apollo
gizc for, or seek extenuating circumStan-
ces for those engaged in crimes of this
kind, or for those who, having the law in
their hands, fail even to appoint an inves-
tigating committee. The Vermoner is
proverbially cool, calculating, penny
turning being, without one whit af chival
ry in his makeup, but we opine that the
difficulty in case like the Kemper county
one would not be long in getting the prop
er officials to take cognizance of it, bu
their difficulty would be in satisfying the
people that the law was swift enough
Should the officers, for fear of the loss o
II reelection, fail to do their duty, the wo
men would be very likely to serve them a

EuvODean Affairs,

The several nations of Europe are now
cycling each other suspiciously. Russia
complains that England talks vaguely OIL
her interests and does not come up to her
opinion of a straightforward neutral, but
is giving her moral support to Turkey
The Russian ambassador has been in
structed to give England to understand
that such conquct is improper and very
displeasing to the Russians. 1t is also re
ported that the Russians would not be al
all adverse to see England declare fol
Turkey as they are evidently in better
trim for bout with England than they
have ever been before.
The old sores between Germany anG
France are still fresh and each country il
cycling the other very suspiciously. L
would take but the merest pretext fol
these two countries to cut each other
throats again. Bismarck is represented
as wishing for something to turn up t
employ the large German army. Italy il
also on the anxious seat.

Although woman suffrage was coughed
out of the House of Commons this year, it
is now pretty evident that, when the Brit
ish Parliament next takes up the extension
of the suffrage to the English rural popu-
lation, it will have to admit women,-or
ut least single women owning or renting
property to the same amount rs required
of men, to the privilege of voting for
members of Parliament Women owning
property already vote in municipal cleo.
tions in England, and ut Bath, ne-fourth
of the householderS are of that sex, and
take as much part in the elections us men.
Sir Stafford Northcote, the chancellor OF
the exchequer, in replying to n deputalion
of women urging the government to take
up the bill, admitted that there was no
reason why single women owning or rent
ing property should not have the suffrage,
except the general inexpediency of disturb
ing the basis of representation, until the
whole question was again up. AS Bea-
consfield entertains the same view, and
many other tories, both parties are likely
to be only too happy to confer the parlia-
mentary suffrage on women, when the
general suffrage question next comes up.

The War In the East.

The war news is getting more plenty
but is not very definite as to results. The
Russians are about ready, as they have
been for couple of months, to cross the
Danube, which from various causes has
not vet been accomplished. The car
who recently visited his army, is said to
have been displeased at the want of action
in that direction. He found the climate
too unhealthy for himself, and proposes to
return to Kieff, and thinks his army would
suffer less if it were not for its inaction.
Active fighting has been carried on IN
Asia Minor. A body of fifteen hundred
Circassians were surprised by the Rus
slams in the village of Benkli-Ahmed, and
all but four hundred slaughtered. Those
escaping alive butchered the inhabitants
of the surrounding villages under the I'M
preston that they had betrayed them.
The fighting around Kars has commence
ell in earnest but accounts differ. Inc
Turks have made attacks upon the invest
ing army but were roughly handled ana
driven back with large losses, but the
authorities at Cons!antinope are endeaV-
orinp to conceal the truth for fear of dis
enlargement. Relief has been sent to
Kars, but is is doubtful if it is allowed to
reach that place by the Russians. A
stringent order has been promulgated by the
Turks, which compels all newspaper cor
RESPONDENTS to leave the seat of war or
get permit from the Turkish command
or. This is caused by the discovery OF
seven Russian spies within the Turkish
lines. The spies were tied and shot
While the fight with the Russians has
been going on in Asia, an army of 10000
Turks were sent against the Montenegrlns
who ambushed them near little town
called Plana, on the main road from Spuz
to Nicsics and having decided advan-
tage in choice of position, drove them back
after inHicting loss of over 1000. The
Turkn have succeed in carrying provis-
ions to Ncsics but the Montenegrins claim
that they have been caught in trap, and
that by closing the Duga Pass the Turks
would be shut up and at their mercy. The
Turkish advices put different front on
the whole affair and claim that they are
in reality the victors.

There are six Molly Maguires, who are

against them. The board of pardons

would pardon few, at least, at their meet

The Indians have made another raid on
the whites in Idaho and Oregon. Last
Friday party of Salmon River Indians
and Joseph's band assembled on the Kan
sas prairie. They had killed four whites
on Salmon River, and proceeded to attack
the settlers on the prairies 1t is stated
that some thirty whites have been killed
by them. The troops with force of citi-
zens of Mount Idaho went in pursuit Of
the Indians and overtaking them gave
battle. The Indians fought fiercely and
at last accounts had routed the party.
A soldier who reached the garrison on
the morning of the 18th reported the
troops surrounded and likely to be all kill
ed. A general uprising of the savages j.
expected and the greatest alarm is fell
along the whole frontier. The Indians
engaged in the fight are non treaty Mes.
perces. Troops and arms have been SEN
for and will be speedily supplied.
They are having trouble in Canada over
the Okla Indians. The quarrel would seem
to be religious one, the Indians being
Protestants, and the police, with whom
the trouble occurred, Catholics. An un
justifable raid was made on the Indians
by the police, and the Catholic Church wa,
burned, probably by the Indians in retalia
ton.

Rev. John S. G. Abbott, who died al

high rank among American authors. lie
was born at Hallowell, Me-, Sept. IS, 1905
and after being educated Mt Bowdoin col.
lege and at Andovor he was ordained II
the Congregational ministry and was
pastor in several places. In 1874 he le.
linqnished his pastoral charge and devoted
himself entirely to literary pursuits except
at rare intervals. Though not considered
a correct historian, many of his works
were deservedly popular, his style being
animated and picturesque. His earlier
works were of religious character, but
all his later writings. especially those pro.
duced in conjunction with his brother
Jacob, were of historical nature. His
principal works were " Kings and Queens
or Life in the Palace "A History of the
Civil War in America" and Romance OF
Spanish History" His most notable works
relate to Napoleon l, of whom he was an
enthusiastic admirer, which fact detracted
from the intrinsic value of his writings.

The town of West Hartford, Connects

day, on account of the shooting of one John
Mcclure by Elias N. Ives. Mcclure was
at one time the head hired man for Mrs
Bissell, and was Of very surly and quar-.
relsome disposition. After being settled
with, and supplanted by Ives, he continued
to make demands for money and threaten
ed the direst vengeance upon Mrs. Bisse
and her help, as well as upon any one who
opposed him. He had succeeded in so ter
rorizing them by firing pistols at the house
and throwing stones through the windows
that the men dared not work in the field.
without loaded guns, and the house wa.
kept locked and barred at all times. The
whole town would seem to have stood ir
fear of him as, though his attacks anc
threats were made publicly, no attemp
was made to arrest him. On Tuesda,
evening at about o'clock, Mcclure en-
tered Mrs. Bissell's door-yard and demand
ing money, which she refused, reached fo
his revolver, which was in his hip pocket
when he was shot by Ives who had beer
waiting in ambush. Ives immediatelv
drove to tho constable's and gave himsel
up. The entire vicinity breathe NOR,
freely since the death of Mcclure, and tn,
public feeling is unanim GUS on the poin
that it WAS a justifable homicide.
