tho Honduranian capital, TeRucigalpa,
Negotiations between the two countries
have been broken on: the Presidents Of both
are bitterly hostile to each other; and
each of these Presidents is In about
az bad pickle as ever were any
other OF the numerous Presidents Of the
Central American republics. ZELAYA Is in
pecuniary straits, and so is VAsoUEz. Both
of them arc beset by domestic enemies; and
each OF them Ia willing to enter upon war
In the belief that success will enable him to
retain his hold upon power.
II is impossible TO give any forecast Of
the results OF this struggle between the
feeble combatants, about equal ms they are
in strength: but It Is probable that the re-
suit will depend upon parties other than
the principals to the quarrel.
The most unhappy thing about this
quarrel Is that two other republics are very
sure to become involved in 1t. Honduras
expects to receive the assistance OF Guate-
mala, and Nicaragua that OF Salvador.
Dictator BARRTos Of Guatemala has an
army superior to the armies " both OF the
immediate belligerents: he has kept a
strong hand upon the Government ever
since he proclaimed the dictatorship three
months ago: he Is not troubled by any
adversarics: and there are funds In
his treasury. ms he himself recently
gave assurance TO all creditors. IL IL be
true that. in the prospect OF hostilities.
Honduras has negotiated a treaty OF alli-
ance with Guatemala. tho Honduranian
Government is justified in possessing
sense OF security against any adverse
force. domestic or foreign. On the other
hand. Nicaragua has been looking for sup

tered for the occasion.
1t is to be regretted that the peace which
has existed for some time between the Cen
trial American republics cannot be main
tanned In the present case the offender is
Nicaragua, which had no right to permit
her territory to be used for purposes hostile
TO Honduras. 1t is President ZELAYA. an
executive with dictatorial powers. who
must be held responsible for the war which
has now begun.

The Stay in the Mckane Casc.

Judge EDGAR N. CULLEN OF the Supreme
Court In Brooklyn. yesterday granted stay
Of proceedings which postpones the iniic-
ton of the punishment imposed upon JOHN
Y. MCKANE for contempt Of court at
Gravcsend on election day. until tho Cen
eral Term passes upon the question whether
there was any legal authority whatever for
the injunction which McKASE defled.
In the opinion which accompanies his de-
clsion, Mr.. Justice CULLEN makes tho pres
ent condition OF the law on the subject very
plain. In this State. II a judicial order is
absolutely void. no one can properly be
punished for disobeying It. II, therefore,
Judge BARNARD had no jurisdiction what
ever to grant such an injunction as Col.
BACON and his associates tried to serve on
election day at Coney Island. then neither
MCKANE nor anybody else can lawfully
be fined or imprisoned for preventing
them from serving it. Judge CULLEN
does not say that Judge BARNARD's
injunction was void. Far from 1t. He in
Inmates that so far as his own views are
concerned. Judge BARNARD had jurisdiction
TO grant the injunction. He shows. how
ever, by citations from opinions in the
Court OF Appeals. that there Is grave doubt
as to its validity. Under such circum-
stances. stays are always granted. Indeed.
to justify stay Of proceedings it is not
necessary that the doubt as to the propriety
OF the conviction should be so serious as 1t
appears to be In the MCKANE case; IL Is
enough II a reasonable doubt exists In the
mind OF the Judge whether the Judgment
should stand. This is the rule prescribed
by the Code OF Criminal Procedure.
The principal ground on which the juris-
diction To grant the injunction in the Nc
KANE case is questioned. is the indisposi-
tion or refusal OF courts OF equity to
interfere with elections by means OF In
functions. Judge CULLEN quotes some
strong language from legal authorities
against the power OF the Judiciary to inter-
fere with elections In this way. On the
other hand. a strong argument in support
OF such jurisdiction will doubtless be found
in the fact that under many circumstances
no other adequate remedy exists. =.
1t is altogether right and proper. how
ever, that this doubtful question OF power
shall DO determined by the appellate branch
OF the Supreme Court. before a punishment
is Inflicted for which there would be no
redress In case ii turned out afterward that
IL was inflicted without authority Of Law

In times when there Is general stringency
| IN the money market. when greenbacks are
scarce. and when the shining coin Ian
| gushes in the secret strong box or the

ton. To whom could we better turn than
TO the doctor. always our solace in severe

wasting ailment OF our pocketbook
In this instance. as in others, the
physician is not found wanting. 1t
is true that he does not prescribe ton
les for its relaxed condition. nor does he
offer a dietary to overcome its atrophy.
But he consoles by teaching us that money
is hurtful and dangerous. and that we are
much better Off without it. Let us ponder
upon his wise statements as based ON
the researches of two biologists.
DIR. ACosTA and DIR. RossI OF Havana
have made a psychological analysis Of
banknotes Of the Spanish Bank OF Havana
In general circulation. 1t was found by
careful calculation that banknotes In
crease in weight by usage. The accre-
ton would seem to be in exact pro-
portion to the rapidity OF circulation.
as IL each hand in their passage from one
individual to another left upon them some
little personal memento in the way Of dust
or spot or stain. A careful examination Of
these indices OF progress led to the dis
covery that germs were among the Ingredi-
ents Of such accretlons. On two banknotes
the scientists were enabled to detect and
count bacteria to the number OF 1914 They
were OF different varieties. Eight species
OF pathogenic or disease-producing germs
were found. and among these were the
streptococcus OF erysipelas. the bacillus OF
diphtheria. and the bacillus OF tuberculosis
One OF the microbes which could not be iden-
titled as belonging to any OF the ordinary
forms or contagious disease. was yet
proven to be dangerous, for when injected
into the circulation OF lower animals, death
speedily followed.
We have, many OF us, long had the idea
that there was something offensive about
Old and soilod greenbacks. but science
has never before demonstrated So con-
clusively a cause for our natural and
instructive aversion. The less. then, we

scope Of speculation within the pale Of the
Catholic Church. Here lie one direction at
all events In which the limits OF so-called
Liberal Catholicism have been deiinltely
marked. Is IL likely that the line will be
| drawn so tightly here. and yet left loose
and elastic in other places What, for In
stauce. will be done by the Holy Office in
regard to another remarkable paper also
| penned by Catholic. which appeared in
| the Contemporary Reuiec not long ago2 This
article. which was entitled "The Pope and
the Bible" urged upon the Papacy an intel
lectual reformation OF the most sweeping
character. 1t attacked what the author
called the ignorance and Incompetence OF
the professors employed In Catholic GEM
inares, aud went so far as to declare that
in the Catholic Church there was Abso-
lutely not one Biblical scholar worthy Of
mention. For the intellectual barren
ness Of the Church in this particu-
lar. he proposed startling rom
edy. This Catholic writer advised that
tho Pope should deDoso the present
expounders Of tho Scriptures at Rome and
Louvain, and should install the froethlnkers
OF Holland and Germany in their places.
As for himself tho author Of tho article in
the Contemporary avows his acceptance OF
the principal conclusions Of the Dutch and
German Biblical critics. Ho believes. for
instance. that the tradition assigning the
Pentateuch to Moses Is entirely ground
less; that the books OF Kings and Chronicles
are no history at all In tho proper sense of
the word; that tho Davldic authorship OF
any single Psalm is matter for grave doubt:
that the last twenty-sevcn chapters of
ISAIAH were composed by an anonymous
prophet OF the Captivity: that the book
OF DANIEL was pcnned not earlier than Il.
G.. 1877: and. finally, that the Old Testament
abounds in fables. myths. and legends.
which could have originated only In the
childhood OF the world.
Such is the belief of the Catholic contrib
utor to the Contemporary. and he will adhere
TO IL, he says. until q papal bull cOmpels
him 20 do otherwise. From present appear
ances however, it seems doubtful whether
any such bull will DO issued. and whether the
Holy Office. which so promptly condemned
Mr.. MIvART's ideas OF hell. will undertake to
define what is. and what is not. n legitimate
outcome OF Biblical criticism. 1t Is n sig
nillcant fact that. whereas Mr.. MIvART's
views were at once vigorously assaicd by
his fellow Catholics in England. not an
Anglo-Catholic voice has yet been raised to
defend the old-fashioned theory of tho
verbal inspiration OF Scripture against the
conclusions reached by KUESES and WELL
HAUsEN. and repeated in the Contemporary
Rorie,c. We deem it probable that the
Church OF Rome will wait before attempt
ing to pronounce what must be accepted as
its final word In Biblical exposition.
