"1 have held the opinion for aom® time that the thing is entirely over," Is General E. S. Otis 1 latest declaration concerning tho war in Luzon. Only General Otis knows just when he began to hold that as an opinion, but all the world knows that he has announced it as a fact about once a fortnight for the last year. When Malolos was aban doned by the Filipinos and occupied by tho Americans about twelve months ago General Otis notified the war de partment that "the backbone of the In surrection Is broken," and sent several brigade commanders home by the next steamer. A few days later he called for more troops. His reports of the end of the war and demands for reinforce ments have alternated with rhythmic regularity ever since. In confirmation of General Otis' opin ion that the war Is entirely over comes the report of a peaceful little affair at a church in which all but ten of a com pany of thirty American soldiers were killed by besieging Filipinos. It would be interesting to know just what General Otis means by "all over." Ho says he cannot seo where it Is possible for the guerrillas to "accomplish anything se rious," from which it is to be inferred that he does not regard as serious the killing of American soldiers in batches of twenty. It is well that GeneralJOtls is coming home. He has had two years in which to demonstrate his remarkable and comprehensive incapacity for-the work of pacifying the Philippines, and it is time to try a new man and an improved line of policy in Manila. Notwithstand ing his opinion that "the whole thing is over," he says conditions are unfavor able for the establishment of civil government. He has found frequently that native officials appointed by tho Americans have acted secretly with the Insurgents, and some of them actually were Insurgents. This {[singular old man contradicts himself in almost every sentence he utters, and makes such a jumble of his story that it is impossible to learn from him what the condition of affairs in Luzon really is. For example, he says Agu inaldo was unwilling to pursue the course planned by the Junta at Hong Kong, "because it would be dishonor able," and in the next breath he says Agu inaldo is a mediocre man, "with a knack of outwardly appearing honest and honorable." Columns might be filled with similar examples of General Otis' inability to think straight or to talk even plausibly, but It Is not worth while. It Is enough that his reign In Manila is "entirely over." Tho deep Interest (Which Republican politicians are taking in the nomination of a legislative candldate]byithe*Demo crats of the Fourth district should be taken as a warning by the party that one or the other faction of the Republi can side wants to gain some advantage from the Democrats' convention. The man who offers himself for the nomina tion with nothing more to recommend him announcement that ho is "for Quay" or "against Quay" is not the kind of man wanted. The Fourth district Is a laboring district, and by right a Democratic district, and the Democratic nominee should be a man whose principals are Democratic as fully as W. -J. Bryan's and whose sympathies and self-interests are with the masses. Some other kind of a man, such as a Quayite or antl-Quaylte, may be nominated, but the nomination will fail to arouse any enthusiasm among tho working olemont of the district, and without the support of the laboring people a Democratic candidate cannot win in tho Fourth. Ilazleton Is taking steps to increase Its representation in political conven tions by having several of its wards divided into two election districts. This recalls the fact that Freeland's ward-gerrymander, by which four sevenths of the voters havesecured four fifths of the representation in council and school board, and which also makes the majority party In town an insignifi cant minority in these bodies, has not yet been corrected. Council will meet this evening. The protection of property on tho Hill from fire Is the most pressing question that can come before it, and it Is about time that the jobbing clique which controls that body should size up to their duty. Valuable tlmo has been frittered away since the citizens voted their consent to protect the Hill. Why? The judge elected in Luzerne next fall should be bis own master. ENGLISH AS SHE RHYMES.

The smoking compartment of the palace car speeding northward was filled by our own party. Influenced by the result of the trial for weeks engaging public attention our con versation had for its subject the weight and value of circumstantial evidence. It was not long before it became an irregular debate in which as many diverse opinions were ex pressed as there were participants— all of our number save one, and he the only lawyer of our party, a man of sedate manner and conservative habit of mind. An appeal was made to him to set tle the disputed points, and after some hesitation he said: "Your discussion has interested me. Permit me to say without offense that your subject has been discussed as I would have expected laymen would. That is to say, your logic has been Influenced by your emotions, senti ments and sympathies aroused by this particular case. Your appeal to me Is merely a question, asking whether or not I believe in circum stantial evidence and you expect my answer to be a condemnation or con firmation of the verdict in this case. That sort of an answer I decline to make, for the reason that I am not sufficiently acquainted with the evi dence In that case to pass a judgment even to the extent of satisfying my own mind. Let me make answer in an other way by reciting to you an ex perience of my own when I was a young member of the profession. "I began the practice of my profes sion In a Western county—-a rural county, since there was within its bor ders no large town or city, it adjoined a county, however, within which there was a large city, the influence of which, for good or evil, was felt in our county. Having struggled for a few years I was appointed assistant district attorney and I entered on my duties with great enthusiasm for the work and a high respect for tradition and the authorities. Iu a year's time through the serious and prolonged ill ness of my chief, the responsibility for the administration of the office de volved on my shoulders. "This was the situation when the office was called on to conisder the case of Henry Crossman, murdered on the highway, about ten miles from the town of our office, midway be tween the railway depot and the next station next above our town. He had been stabbed to death in a most bru tal manner after, as was evident, a gallant fight for his life. A farmer, passing to the station with produce found the body Just after daylight. A short distance from the body was found a dirk knife of unusual make and in his pocket a letter threatening his life. His money, watch, chain, jew elry and valuable papers were found undisturbed, putting robbery as a mo tive out of the question. "The dirk knife was quickly recog nized as belonging to the next door neighbor of Crossman, Albert Stet son; the threatening letter was signed by Albert Stetson. You will not be surprised, therefore, to know that suspicion fell on Albert Stetson. "I began an investigation at once and sufficient motive for the deed was found at the outset. Henry Cross man was a real estate dealer and speculator, with his office in the near by large city, dealing principally in pioperties in our county. He lived in a village three-quarters of a mile from the railroad station next beyond the town of my office and residence. He was a man with few or no friends, widely feared and generally distrust ed as a sharp, cunning, tricky man, hard at a bargain, taking advantage of technicalities, fertile in preparing sharp traps for the unwary, treading closely on the line dividing honesty and dishonesty, overbearing in his manner, indifferent to the good or bad opinion of men and sometimes given to drinking, and when in his cups, most disagreeable. "Albert Stetson lived next door to him and was an unmarried man not of unblemished character. He lived with his mother and furnished her support and that of a sister by con ducting an express business between the large city and the smaller towns on the railroad line for fifteen miles out. He was rough in manner and Bpeech and much given to drink. He was impulsive, quick to anger, and under its excitement quick to revenge and prone to deeds of violence. Con stantly in trouble over his blows and fights, lie had earned the reputation of being n turbulent fellow, whom it was well to avoid, especially when he had been drinking. On the other side, be was regarded as an honest man, upright in his dealings, coura geous. with a rough sort of manli ness that prevented him from harbor ing malice. "Now, as the motive, Stetson and Crossman had quarreled over the for mer's chickens, which the latter claimed had been permitted to roam at large and enter his garden to its injury and detriment, and threatened that if it were not stopped he would kill them. One morning Stetson found on the rear porch of the house ten dead hens, with a slip of paper, oa which was written, "the compliments of Henry Crossman." Stetson flew into a passion, but a glance at the chicken yard suddenly allayed the I storm. He went into the yard and ; counted his hens. Going into the house, he wrote a brief note thank , ing Crossman for bis present and ex pressing fear that in his generosity he had robbed himself. Crossman read the note, gasped, went to his own chicken yard, counted his own hens and found ten missing. He had killed his own hens and presented them to Stetson. [ 'The episode put Stetson In great good humor and he told the Joke to all who would listen and ended by feeling very kindly to the one who had given him so much amusement. Crossman said little, and when jibed about the matter merely said the game was not yet over. Some days la , ter he asked Stetson to lend him SSO for ten days, offering his note for the amount. Stetson did so unhesitatingly, receiving the note of hand, which he placed in his pocket. The ten days went by and Crossman made no offer to pay the note. After several days I the two, Crossman and Stetson, met one morning at the railroad station, , and, in the presence of live bystand- I ers, Stetson demanded the payment I of the note. Crossman denied that it was due. Stetson declared it was. Crossman referred him to the note. Stetson took it from his pocket and read that the note had been made payable "ten days after death." "Crossman laughed and the bystan ders laughed. but Stetson was ' stunned. The train drew up at the station and Crossman, bound for the city, boarded it with the remark that he 'was square as to those chickens.' Stetson shot after him the assertion that the note would fall due ten days from date. As the train rolled away Stetson let loose his temper, declar ing he would have the heart's blood of Crossman. He displayed a dirk knife—the one found near the dead body of Crossman—his possession of which was well known, and calling upon bystanders to observe it, de clared that with it he would make the cheating blood of Crossman flow from his body. The bystanders gave little heed to his words then, for they were accustomed to his extravagant utter i imces when angry, but one Andrew Mincher, a morose, reserved man, who was known to be a bitter enemy 1 of Crossman, through having been cheated in some transaction, sympath ized with Stetson, denouncing Cross man's trick and thereby fanning Stet son's anger to a greater heat. "After this Stetson went to his of fice, which was in the general store, where also was the post office. Here he wrote a letter to Crossman, which i he read aloud to several there, de | mandlng instant payment of the SSO, ! declaring if it were not paid he would tal& Crossman's 'heart's blood on sight.' He sealed and deposited the latter in the post office In the pres ence of witnesses. An hour later he took the trafn for the city and the same train bore Andrew Mincher, who kept alive Stetson's anger by denunciations of Crossman's trick. "The station agent, fearing should Stetson and Crossman meet in the city, the former under the impulse of his anger would do injury to Cross man with his knife, tried to borrow It from Stetson, but unsuccessfully. "That evening at 6 o'clock Stetson stepped from the train and crossed to his office. It was noticed at the gen eral store that he had been drinking heavily, but he was quiet in demean or and seemed to be composed in spir it. After sitting at his desk in the transaction of business he found there for half an hour, or until 6:35 P. M., he left and went to the bar of the hotel, where he drank several times, remaining there twenty minutes, when he went out, taking the road to his home, three-quarters of a mile distant "At 7 o'clock Crossman arrived by train at the station, and, as was his invariable habit, went to the post of fice to get his mail. Those who knew that Stetson's letter was In his box watched him as he opened and read it. He sneered as he perused it, fold ed it up deliberately and placed it in his wallet and. turning to those stand ing near by, said: " 'Stetson is a fool. He has put himself absolutely In my power. I can land him in jail, for he has threat ened to kill me, and has put it down in black and white over his own sig nature.' "He went out, taking the game road that Stetson had a few minutes be fore. "The next morning, as 1 have des cribed, with the knife of Stetson be side him and the threatening letter of Stetson in his pocket, he was found dead, stabbed by the knife, covered with blood. "Now," continued the old lawyer, "I presume no one who has listened to me doubts for a moment that Stet son killed Crossman. No one saw him do it, but the motive was clear and unmistakable, and the intention to do so had been declared in words before witnesses and in the letter to Cross man, and the Instrument by which he was to do the deed displayed, and that instrument, the one by which the deed was done. There was one more point of weight. When Stetson stepped from the train he asked the station agent if Crossman had yet re turned from the city, and being in formed that he had not. he had said, 'Then I'm not too late for the thiev ing rascal.' The case was complete, direct, unmistakable, and yet wholly circumstantial —as strong as could be presented. "It was the flrst murder case I had ever been engaged in, and I felt the responsibility of it deeply; all the more that my chief was was so ill as to be incapacitated, and I could not even consult him as to a single step. Therefore. I went about the prepara tion of the case with great care and caution. Of course, I had had Stetson arrested. He was found at his home, not. having left it on the day the body was found, asserting that he had been taken ill during the night. He stoutly asserted his innocence, de claring that he had not seen Cross man after he had boarded the train the previous morning, and that he had lost his dirk knife the previous day, missing It In the city shortly after noon; and he further asserted that when he had left the hotel bar he had gone directly home. Despite his protestations he was confined without bail and in due time was in dicted. "When I had prepared my case and had convinced myself there was neith er flaw nor break in the chain. I sought an eminent jurist in a remote part of the state, to whom I had an approach, and submitted my facts to him. asking him to criticise and ad vise me. With patience and careful scrutiny he went over the case, pro nounced it without a flaw, emphatic ally assuring me that there was not the least doubt of Stetson's guilt, and congratulated me in saying that I was fortunate in having for my first mur der case one in which the facts and proof were BO clear. "The trial came. I proved my charge. The defense was weak, in the nature of things—practically no de fense at all. On the stand Stetson ad mitted the threats and the letter, but denied the crime, and again assert ed that he had lost his knife on the day he had displayed it. There was a witness to prove that he had so de clared at 1 o'clock before the mur der and had been seen searching his clothes for it. His mother swore posi tively that he had arrived home be fore the arrival of the 7 o'clock train and had gone directly to bed, being under the influence of liquor, as she admitted. She testified that it was her habit to observe the whistle of the train as a check upon her clock, and she knew that train was not in when her son had arrived home. The deduction being, of course, that as he had not gone out again and as that train brought Crossman they could not have met. To strengthen this was the testimony that the train that night was at least Ave minutes late. This, with the further fact that it was shown that there were nd stains of blood on Stetson's clothes, as might naturally be expected, after such an encounter, constituted all the defense. Stetson was convicted and sentenced to be hanged, and in time was duly executed, at each successive step to his death solemnly asserting his in nocence of the crime, such being his last words on the scaffold. "I presume," said the lawyer, look ing about our group hanging our in terest earnestly on his tale, "I pre sume that though all of you have de nounced circumstantial evidence as having too great an element of uncer tainty to be wholly convincing where the point of taking a man's life is concerned, you. none of you, have any doubt on my statement that the ver dict in this case was a righteous one, and that the hanging of Stetson was justified." He paused for a reply. All agreed that it' was so, and one of us re marked that he thought the evidence was rather direct than circumstantial. "No," replied the lawyer, "it was wholly circumstantial." "But," persisted the one who had spoken, "not like that in the case we were discussing." "Perhaps," replied the lawyer. "But I decline to discuss or speak of that case for the reasons I have given you. My point Is on this case of circum stantial evidence, a Jury of twelve men sworn to do their duty could have brought in no other verdict than it did." All of us agreed that this was so. "Well, gentleman, Albert Stetson was an innocent man. He had not caused the death of Henry Grossman." A gasp ran over the group as all of us caught our breath. "One night, six months after the execution of Stetson, when I was about retiring for the night, a physi cian with whom I was well acquaint ed hurriedly drove up to my door and asked me to accompany him to the bedside of a dying man, who for a day had been praying and begging that I should be brought to him. 1 en tered the carriage with the doctor, who told me that the case had been under his charge for six months and had completely baffled him. as he could find no real disease, and that he had become convinced that the wasting away was due to a mental trouble that he could not reach. "The man was Andrew Mincher. He was very weak when I reached him, but when I sat beside him the excite ment of my coming gave him the strength to confess in the presence of the physician and myself that he, and not Albert Stetson, had murdered Henry Crossman. His story was brief. He had borne an Implacable hatred of Crossman and in secret nursed ail sorts of ideas of vengeance against the man who had wronged him. When the chicken-note episode came be tween Crossman and Stetson he saw in Stetson and his anger the instru ment of his revenge and sought to fan the flames to a pitch when Stetson would inflict injury on Crossman. But when traveling to the city with Stet son he found that his anger was burn ing out; after the first fierce outburst he conceived the Idea of killing Cross man himself, knowing that all the pre vious circumstances would direct sus picion wholly and inevitably to Stet son. To that end also he had taken the dirk knife from Stetson's pocket, carried as it was loosely in the side pocket of a sack coat, without its own er's knowledge. Arriving home early, he had laid in wait for Crossman and was in waiting when Stetson passed on his way home. When Crossman came he murdered him deliberately, throwing Stetson's knife beside the body. "I embraced these facts in an affi davit, to which we took oath, with the physician as a subscribing witness. Mincher died the next day." The lawyer ended his tale and we listened for his deduction. But he smoked his cigar in silence. "Then," finally, said one of us, "you do not believe in circumstantial evi dence?" "I am too much of a lawyer," was the reply, "not to admit that logically due weight must be given to It. But after my experience I would not send any one to his death on such evidence alone. Place him where rectification could not be made If error had been made. The law is wrong on this mat ter, The law has been wrong in previ ous years. There was a time when the penalty of robbery was death. To In flict It now would be considered bar barous. Gentlemen, the time is not far distant when to inflict the penalty of death for murder proven by circum stantial evidence alone will be thought Just as barbarous. It will be imprisonment for life, when if subse quent revelation, as In the case I have recited, is made, life will not be beyond recall. There is a wide spread and unjust prejudice against such evidence, and it is due to the want, to the lay mind, of the element Of absolute certainty."—Brooklyn Eacle. JINGLES. Haymaking in Maine. Ephrum Wade sat down in the shade And took off his haymaker hat which he laid On a tussocK of grass; and he pulled out the plug That jealously gagged the old iron stone jug. And cocking his jug on his elbow, he rigged A sort of a "horse-up," you know, and he swigged A pint of hard cider or so at a crack And set down the jug with a satisfied smack. "Aha!" said he, "that grows the hair on ye bub; My rule durin' hayin's more cider, less grub. I take it, Bah, wholly to stiddy my nerves. And up in the stow hole I pitch 'em some curves On a drink of straight cider, in harn somer shape Than a feller could do on the Juice of the grape.
