IT would be the essence of pigheadedness
and folly to break off diplomatic relations
with Austria because of that powers refusal
to receive Kelley as an accredited minister
from the United States. It may make no
material difference to the American people
whether they have or have not representa-
tive at the court at Vienna. And it probably
would make as little difference to Austria
The great objection to such a state of affairs
would be its stupidity. BY exactly the same
reasons Italy would be snubbed and Minister
Stallo recalled. Austrias objection to Mr.
Kelley was because of the religion of his wife
and of the fact that their marriage was not
regular according to Austrian views. This
was petty objection, it must be confessed
Italys objection to Mr.. Kelley was because he
exercised the American right of speaking his
mind about the Italian government. If we
are to get mad because Austria prefers some
one else to man not married according to
Austrian views of propriety, why not get an
CRY because Italy objects to our free and easy
way Of speaking our opinions9 1t would GER
tainly have been in exceeding bad taste to
have attempted to force an unwelcome diplo-
mate upon ITALY, and the administration has
confessed as much by Withdrawing the man

THE terrible accident at Nanticoke Pa,
whereby twenty-four miners were entombed
alive, is one Of the most horrible conceivable.
There have been calamities involving more
lives, but to be penned up in eternal darkness,
hundreds of feet under the earth, and with no
certainty of how great the barrier is between
them and deliverance, and with the ever
present horror of death by asphyxiation, OF
by slow starvation, is fate from which the
bravest would recoil. The men in the mine
at Narticoke, if still alive, have been in dark
ness and doubt since Friday last, an interim
nably long time to men in that situation. The
gangs Of men who have worked so hard for
their deliverance, and who have had narrow
escapes themselves from being buried
under the caving sand, have heard,
or imagined they heard, signals tapped ON an
iron pipe running through the cave-in to the
chamber where the buried miners are thought
to be. When within few feet of them, the
treacherous sand fell again, and drove the
would-bs rescuers from their work. The
thought Of these men being still alive has
neryed those seeking to dig them out to risk
the greatest dangers in prosecuting the work.
No wonder the town could not sleep on the
night following the day when the signal taps
were heard. The last cave-in had been the
worst, and it was felt useless to make further
attempts in that direction The feelings of
the friends and relatives of the men and boys
caught in that fearful death-trap may be i'm
agined. 1t will be woeful Christmas day
for Nanticoke if these men be not delivered.

contemplate that insanity is on the

Many say that the percentage keeps

such is the case. It would be far

latent cause in the habits Of our PEG
