Tie counsel for Hummel who is
charged with having murdered his
wife and four children, was refused
a continuance by Judge Metzger at
Williamsport on Monday. A move
was then made to quash the array
of jurors for the March term, be-
cause the jury wheel after being
filled, was not sealed by the Sheriff
according to law, and that the
wheel was kept in such an insecure
place that it might have been tam
pered with. The motion was over
ruled by the court.

END THE eLOoDSHED.

President Kruger and President
Steyn are said to be holding a confer
ence with a view to negotiating for
peace. 1t may be that they are devils
ing further measures for the protec-
ton of the South African republics.
Yesterday President Mckinley was re-
ported as having reiterated his refusal
to extend the sympathy of this republic
for those other republics which are
making similar fight against the
same power thai twice tried to coerce
and destroy the founders of this gov
eminent.
President Mckinley deceives no one
by talking about non-interference in
the political affairs of the Old World
as a reason for not rendering the good
services Of the United States to end
the carnage in South Africa.
No statesman Of this country, how
ever devoted TO the Monroe doctrine
or the conservatism of nOn-interfer-
ence, ever sought to apply either to
efforts to bring about peace by friend
ly, disinterested and impartial methods.
Under the arbitration agreement
adopted at The Hague it would DE i'm
possible for a signatory power to re-
gard an offer Of mediation on the part
of co-signer as an act of hostility.
Had Lafayette, with but hundredth
part the authority Mckinley has, been
as cold and indifferent TO struggling
independence. had France harkened TO
TaIleyrand az this country obeys the
Republican boss, our trials would have
been harder than they were.

LlNCoLN'S WAY AND MARKS.

When Abraham Lincoln went down
TO Washington after his election TO the
presidency Of the republic, he was
scorned and ridiculed by the leaders
of his party. ostracized by their wives,
denounced as an ape and an ignoram-
Gus in the leading organs Of his party.
and at the inaugural ball, where Lin
coin and his wife were treated with
rude contempt, stephen A. Douglass,
the great Democratic leader Of the
time, LincOln's lifelong political ad-
versary, gave his arm TO the president,
led him through the assemblage, made
the chief executive and his wife ae-
quainted with the people there, and as
James G. Blaine says, sit is due to the
Democrats of the north to say that
however strongly they mad opposed Mr..
Lincoln, they stood by him with patri-
otto fidelity in the trying times through
which he passed.

WAR OVER A WORD.

A correspondent referring TO an ar
ticle in these columns yesterday con-
corning the fate Of Poland, inquiries if
Sweden were not one OF the powers
which despoiled the land Of the Poles2
No One hundred years before the
carving operation was begun there
was a war between Poland and Swe-
den. 1t ragged for five years, and was
terminated in 1860 by a treaty signed
at Olivia. near Rantzig.
1t may be of interest to call at
tention to the trivial cause Of this
bitter and bloody conflict In 1864
a Polish nobleman was outlawed,
ana he took refuge in Sweden.
John Casimir, king OF Poland, sent
a request similar to the extradi
ton papers Of today. asking for the
return Of the criminal. The king of
Sweden was perfectly willing to grant
the request until some one calle4 his
attention to the fact that the requisi-
ton contained a slight and therefore
expressed an insult. After the name
of Charles Gustavus. king of Swe-
den," there were two 'etceteras." while
following the title Of Casimir there
were three "etceteras.
In itself, this was almost as insig-
nificant as a misspelled word or a fly
speck on the paper, but Gustavus was
thoroughly incensed, and, no explana-
ton being forthcoming, war was at
once declared.
The struggle that followed was sim
gularly stubborn and vicious on both
sides, although 10 other excuse for
war was offered. Kochowsky. a con-
temporary writer, expressed the feel
ing on both sides after peace was de-
clared, when he poured out his lamen-
tations as follows: How dear has this
'etceteras' been to u.s. With how many
lives have these two potentates paid
for these missing eight letters! With
what streams of blood has the failure
of a few drops Of ink been avengedr'
