SOP FOR SENATORS. I Cle-reland's Extraordinary Efforts I to Undermine the Opposition. DOES NOT INTEND TO YIELD Patronage Bribes Offered Messrs. Harris and Vest Mr. Voorhees.

Won Over by the Administration, Is Now Accused of Treachery. Washihqtoic, D. Aug. T. Special ra onua.

President Cleveland said to a friend that he did not intend to yield in his demands as to the tariff, and that it was his purpose to carry ont General Grant's declaration, and to fight it ont on this line if it takes all summer. President Cleveland is resorting to every influence which the ad ministration can control to accomplish his purpose. It is evident that he is under mining the Democratic opposition in the Senate, and he la resorting to what plain people would call bribery by pat ronage to accomplish that object. No more conspicuous illustrations of this conld be furnished than were contained in the nomination sheet of yesterday. Theonly probable, the strong est, and the only possiole successful opponent of Senator Harris, of Tennessee, in his contest for renomlnation, James D.

Porter, at present United States Minister to Chili, was appointed to a life position on the bench. Mr. Porter is an old political opponent of Senator Harris, but Senator Harris would prefer to have him shelved in a life position upon the bench than be compelled to meet him as an opponent for Senator in the Legislative caucus. Sena tor Harris knows thing when he sees it. and it is reported today that even he is weakening on coal The same nomination sheet contained the name of the man for Judge in Missouri whose appointment to that position has been advocated by Senator Vest for many months.

Mr. Vest has recently denounced the President, but Mr. Vest's selection for Judge has been nominated to the Senate. Mr. Vest knows a thing or two when he sees It; and he also is said to be weakening on ooaL The whole army of Federal offi clals, as If acting under instructions, is en deavoring to create publie sentiment in favor of the President and against the Senate.

Mr. Cleveland is attempting, in the most insidious ways, to undermine the Democratic opposition to him in the Sen ate, and it is predicted that unless the tariff bill shall be reported to the Senate, where it will be beyond his Jurisdiction, in twenty -four hours, he will succeed. Motive of Mr. Wilson's Policy. Chairman Wilson, of the Honse conferees.

takes his instructions daily from the Presi dent. The motive of Mr. Wilson's do-nothing polirv has been discovered. He is following the advice of the President, who maintains that by holding the tariff situa tion as it now stands for a time, everything will be gained. The President believes that the Democratic conventions.

State and Congressional, now being held are doing his wore; that they are Indorsing his position on the tariff and before a great while longer the Senate will be driven to yield to the executive. This is the advice he gives to Chairman Wilson. This explains Mr. Wilson's refusal to agree to anything. He will not accede to anv proposals of the Senate conferees, nor will he reject them outright.

He is waiting for time and Dem ocratic expressions in convention to drive the Senate to retreat. In pursuing this Fabian policy Mr. Wilson is supported Dy speaker uisp. Mr. Uorman evidently understands the situation and the motives behind the Honse conferees thoroughly.

Senator Gorman said this evening: "The Honse conferees refuse to do anything. They will not agree, nor will they consent to reoort a disagreement. They will hira Just twenty-four hours longer in which to mate up their minds to something. If at the end of that time they have not con sented to an agreement or disagreement the Senate will cut the Gordian knot. We will strike the sugar schedule out of the bill and substitute free sngar.

Louisiana Senators have made a combination with the Populists to demand the bounty for this year, amounting to 18,000,000. We will not give it," said Senator Gorman, his Hps closing with an air of firmness. "We will not give It Before we will be driven to that we will have free sugar. That would deprive the treasury of of revenue annually and abe a hardship financially. But that cannot be avoided unless.

men come to reasonable action. The President wants sugar taxed; so no we, out cannot give np everything eise ior a tax on sngar." Voorhees Interview Surprise. The authorized interview of Senator Voorhees, in which he defines his attitude as to the pending tariff controversy, is a surprise to his colleagues of the conference and to the Senate, ft is astounding that i.r. voorhees couia have made any such publication at this time. He is a chairman of the conference committee on the part of the Senate and also of the joint conference.

He is under the same injunction as the rest to observe secrecy. He has disre garded this injunction and has taken, apparently, a contrary posi tion from that which he said he occupied before be became ill. Mr. Voorhees talked very freely of the let ter of President Cleveland to Chairman Wilson and denounced it. He was sum moned as a witness by Senator Gorman when the latter made that famous attack upon the President and Mr.

Gorman an nonncea mat Air. voornees would make a speech in his own and sustain his (Gorman's) position. This declaration of Senator Gorman was based upon a statement which Mr. Voorhees had made of bis indignation at the attitnde of the Presi dent and of his resentment at the course of She President and of the House Democrats in attempting to force the Senate to modify their tariff bill, when it was well known that no other bill could pass the Senate. Yet Mr.

Voorhees. bv this interview, has furnished additional evidence of his right to the title of the weather vane of the Senate. He is essentially a cuckoo. He seems to have no fixed princi ples uu mo nu question, or any other economle subject. He shifts his rround upon the tariff as readily as ha did in the Hirer controversy.

ffto Bis Colloarnea Bay. His Interview Is sharply criticised bv bis associates of the conference committee, as indicating tnat ne is not informed as to the situation. Mr. Voorhees, although the titular chairman of the finance committee, bas been a mere lay figure all winter so far as the tariff bill Is concerned. He is not a student or a master of tariff detalL He assumes that the surar question can be settled by the adoptson of a rate of 45 per eent ad valorem and a bounty to the Louisiana sngar He apparently does not know that the highest rate that the House conferees are willing to accept is 40 percent: that thev have distinctly rejected 43 per cent, and that they have de- ciarea tnat unaer no circumstances would they grant the bounty to the Louisiana sugar growers.

Senator Voorhees' inter view, in short. Is interpreted aa an indica tion that. In his retirement from the Senate, the administration leaders have had access to that be bas gone over to the aide of the Honse. His advocacy of free coal and Iron ore will not aid the ad ministration in its attempt to break down tne Senate, bat it will add to Democratic disharmony. i.nere was intense indignation on the part of llemocratic Senator, today at th- of ivJrL8 or surrender of Senator Voorhees.

It was denounced as'treac herons by his Democrat ie associates. If. Mr. Voorhees cares anything for the good opinion of his colleagues he wonld have been very greatly chagrined today if he conld have beard their bitter denunciation of his course. Mr.

Jones, of "wi, toe nones or the Seuate, SSS Charred witb Playing sJowdi. Mr. Voorhees must be singularly lnsensl-1 bie to the good opinion of hi. aoo.te. in the Senate if he supposes that they will re- I Mr.

Voorhees must be singularly lnsensl main silent while he seeks to put them in an embarrassing "lne iac is," said a Senator who has been very active in the management of the tarts Dili, -senator Voorhees. when senator uorman cauea upon Him as a witness, nam iruj pro- parea a written ipeecn in wiucu in uun bitterly arraigned President Cleveland for his duplicity in stating to the Democratic Senators who framed the tariff bill that he approved their course, and also said that his indignation at the letter of President Cleveland was so igreat that he could not sit at another conference with Chairman Wilson, who had sat with them during their entire conference with the letter of President Cleveland in his pocket. That speech of Senator Voorhees was certainly read to three Senators. This is the char acter of the comments which one hears in denunciation of Senator Voorhees. This last act of Mr.

Voorhees has probably destroyed whatever Influence he had with his colleagues in the Senate. He Is distinctly charged by them with having played a double part. is. w. RICKS VILL BE INVESTIGATED.

Donse Judiciary Committee Takes Action Regarding the Accused Judge. Wasbixotox. D. C. Aug.

7. Steps were taken by the judiciary committee of the House today for an investigation of the charges against Judge Augustus J. Blcks made by the Central Labor Union of Cleve land. He preventative Bailey, of Texas, ex plained to the committee the memorial from the union presented to the House by Representative Johnson yesterday and outlined the charges which it contains. There was little discussion, the general opinion being expressed that the case was one which could not be ignored since definite charires of financial shortage, based on the records of the court, had been made.

It was armed that no steos toward impeach ment should be taken until more was known of the matter, and the case was referred to the subcommittee of which Kenresentatlve Bailey is the chairman, with directions to report resolution for investigation. In accordance with the action Mr. Bailey will introduce in the Honse a resolution author izing the Judiciary committee to investi gate the case. If the resolution is passed the Invest! (ration will probably be under taken bv a subcommittee. ADJOCRXED TO AVOID TROUBLE Plan of Democratic Beaatars to Defer Dis agreeable Debate.

Washington, D. Ang. 7. The Senate held a short and uninteresting session to day, adjourning at 3:40 p. m.

The most important event was the passage of a reso lution directing the President to take steps for the release of American citizens con fined in the Island of Cuba for participa tion in the recent rebellions. The early adjournment was due to a desire to avoid irritating remarks which, it was thought on the Democratic side, wonld probably be heard later in the day from Republican Senators and might lead to a debate, wbioh at the present time, ben feeling is running high, might prove disagreeable. There was also nothing before the Senate exoept the calendar, which contains a large num ber of bills that some of the leading Demo cratic Senators think might as well remain on the calendar. HO FROTEST AGAINST SCJT DASCF.S. Interior Department Relieve the Reports About Them Are Exaggerated.

Washington, D. Aug. 7. No in formation has reached the Interior Department of the contemplated pro test to Congress against the snn dances of the Otoes, Osages, Creeks, Cherokees, and other Indian tribes in Ok' lahoma. Only one or two of the tribes men tioned In the complaint are under the Ju risdiction of the Interior Department, the others having acquired the rights and priv ileges of citizenship.

If the sun dances were held by those Indians who are under the jurisdiction of the department, and were complained of as promoting habits of Indolence, official action, it Is stated, would be taken to prevent their occurrence within at least the boundaries oi the reservation Officials believe, however, that the reports of vulgarity at these dances are greatly ex ageerated, and that the dances, usually de scribed as sun dances, are merely the ordi nary Inilian dances. COMMON WEALERS GET A HEARING. Jeffries and Others Advocate the Peffer Irri gation Bill. Washington, D. Aug.

7. Mr. Jeffries, the head of the contingent of the indus trial army from the State of Washington, and several other commonweal leaders now stationed in the outskirts of Washington, was given a hearing by the Senate commit tee on education and labor today. They advocated the Peffer bill, which provides for an issue of S2o0.000.000 for the construc tion of irrigation works in the arid region. for river and harbor improvements, and for' the erection of public bnildings and the Usuanoe of treasury notes to pay for the same.

Those who spoke were: E. Jeffries, of Seattle. Arthur Vinette. of Los Angeles, CaL A. Lawrence, of San Francisco; Charles Cam mans, of Butte, and Stewart Brown, of Pitts burg, Pa.

SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOATS. Holland Vessel to Be Examined by the Con struction Bareaa of the Navy. Washington, D. Ang. 7.

The sub marine torpedo boat project has again come to the front. The board of naval bureau chiefs bas been looking into the past action of the department and has taken steps to have the construction bureau examine the plans for the Holland boat and report on its feasibility. There is an appropriation of $200,000 available from last year's appropriation bill for this purpose, but the ordnance officers, who carefully examined the three competitive designs for this nnder-water craft, decided that they were impracticable and, more over, would be of no service were they operative, because of lack of light under the water to navigate them.

I man Holman. The roll call diMOiosed the presence of 100 members. Speaker fcrlsp sat among the members on the floor of the House. Near him was unairman Wilson and Representative McMlllln. Messrs.

Bynum and Springer, who had urrred the caucus. were to gether in conference throughout the meeting. By an error, the clerk read Mr, Springer's name at two different stages of the roll call and great laughter was oc casioned thereby. Enthusiasm was aroused by the reading of a telegram announcing the result of the Alabama election. Mr.

The commercial interests or tne country have been held In suspense awaiting a final settlement oi tne question; ana Wturrat, The people of the whole country have, through the public press snd by petitions and memorials to both houses of Congress, de manded a speedy decision that the Industries of the country may. as soon as poasioio, do aa- iusled to the proposed changes; and MAtmu, Th conferees appointed by the two houses to hold a full and fre conference over tbe disagreeing votes of the two houses have had the matters In dispute under consideration for one month and days failed to come to any agreement whatever: and Whtrea: Toe House of Representatives, which under the constitution of the United States is clothed with the exclusive power to originate bills raising revenue, and Is therefore clothed with the right to pas upon all amendmeau pro posed by tbe Senate freely and without restraint; and nhfren.

That it is the sense of this caucus that the Democratic conferees of tbe House and Senate should meet In a spirit of Mtcrality to the end that the two houses by mutual concessions may agree upon a measure which a il! meet witb the aDororal of each.

Friday, the iota insL.at which time, in rase no agreement bas been reached, it shall reconvene to take sui further action in the premises aa It may deem nneesHary and ap- firopriate. and the chairman of tbe House caucus hereby authorized and directed to Invite the Democrat io Senators to meet with the Demo crats of the House at that time In joint caucus.

In his explanatory statement, which was a brief one. Mr. Bvnnra said that although there had been a clamor from a part of the press for the House bill, be believed tnat tbe overwhelming sentiment of the conn try was for the best possible bill that could be agreed upon, lor himself, he preferred tbe Senate bill to no bill, and as he Inter preted the wishes of his party, it was for a tariff bill and prompt action. He had no sympathy with tbe stand taken by some members that it would be better to retain the McKinley bill than substitute tbe Sen ate bill lor it. Mr.

Wilson Defends the Conferees. When Chairman Wilson, of the ways and means committee, rose, be was greeted with enthusiastic applause. In his quiet way he said ne was glad to meet with his party colleagues, aitnougn be would not have selected this particular time for a caucus. He commented upon it as an un fortunate circumstance that at a crucial point in the negotiations of the conferees this week and at tbe critical stage of the conference as well, move ments had been started to hold a caucus over the heads of tbe conferees, so to speak Tbe House bill bad seemed to be acceptable to the country, while the Senate bill bad not. He appreciated the necessity for the party in power to pass a tariff oill; the Democracy had been intrusted with the administration of the government for that purpose; but tbe neces sity was equally imperative that the bill agreed upon should be essentially a measure of tariff reform, one that wonld be in fulfillment of party pledges, not one that would put the party on the defensive.

He believed that more than a month might be well spent toward that end. He believed that if the House conferees did their duty and the' House did its dnty, a bill honorable for the House and Senate and acceptable to the party and people wonld be the result. Such a result wonld not be brong-ht about by any action that would notify the Senate that if it would hold out to a given date the House wonld instruct its conferees to recede. If the House Democrats could propose any plan likely to sustain the House bill and assist its conferees he would welcome it. Mr.

Bland spoke up with the suggestion that the House should pass a bill to pnt sugar on the free list, and then take np the income tax, ont as it was offered, in humorous vein no notice was taken of it. and Mr. Livingston, of Georgia, proposed a substitute for tbe Bynum resolution ex pressing the confidence of tbe House in its conferees and leaving the matter entirely in their bands. No from th Senate. 'There followed a discussion of the posi tion held by the Senate and the prospects of agreement.

Mr. Breckinridge, of the ways and means committee, rose to correct the impression, which might be main tained, he said, if not corrected, that any ultimatum had been received by tbe House eonierees and opposed by tbem. One of the Louisiana members argued that speedy action was necessary that it was plain the Senate would not yield, and proceeded to pay a high tribute to Senator Mius as the pioneer of tariff reform, and said that this conspicuous tariff reformer had personally assured him that it was the Senate bill or nothing, and unless the House soon recognised this all tariff legislation wouia tail. Mr. Cooper, of Indiana, said Senators aronnd Mr.

Mills had been trying to create tbe Impression that nothing but tbe Senate bill conld pass and this might have had its effect on Mr. Mills. These claims were being made by the Senators under cover. Now that the American people had been informed of the attitude of these Senators they bad been publicly pilloried. They would have surrendered already if these caucus movements had not given them hope that the House was weakening.

During this discussion Mr. Bvnnm of fered to amend his resolution to extend the time within which it was designed to bring about action by tbe conferees. Mr. Crisp Wins th Day. Something of a sensation was stirred by the forging to the front of Speaker Crisp when the general debate was well under way.

The speech of the speaker was tem perate but very forcible, and its lojrlc Was so Irresistible that at its conclusion, Mr. Bynum, the mover of tne resoiation, withdrew his motion. Tbe speaker declared that it was and should be tne purpose of the Democrats nf thn Ilnnu aa Democrats, ta vmImm tko lt. had made to tbe people. The tariff biU had gone to conference to be met with the most determined opposition from the Senate.

He pointed out the working of eon- ferences. lour strureleW whieh anKiisM J1 7e'f points, and to appropriation bills which had been again and again aent vuuicrroM, tne uouse refusing to yield to toe demands of the Senate the Senate protesting that It never would consent, oni nnauy consenting.

Tbe Speaker's speech was received with mani festations of anorovai. ana. in conetasion. he suggested that the caueus should ad- i journ.

Mr. Wil son made no move. gave no apparent recognition to Mr. Bynum. The action of the chairman excited no little comment, as it was taken to mean a aecimation to nave anv controversy with Mr.

Speaker Crisp said that the Senate bill more nigniy protective in most oi its schedules than the House bill and that there were many points of difference to be settled, and intimated that they were being settled, bnt that was as much enlightenment as the inquiring Democrats obtained. Finally Mr. Bynnm withdrew his resoln- tion, explaining that he was satisfied with tbe representations made, and on motion of Speaker Crisp the caucus adjourned.

Ex- General Fleeter Decides in Future to Use Fuses Operated in a Different Manner. Washington, D. Aug. 7. While the United States troops were in.

service during the strike at Chicago a caisson attached to a battery of artillery exploded, killing fonr soldiers. The cause of the accident was a mystery, and a thorough investigation was sttrted, first by a court of Inquiry appointed by General Miles, and then by Captain Birnie, an expert in ordnance, at the direction of General Flagler, chief of ordnanoe. The reports from both sources have reached the War Denartment. and tbe following official statement of the matter is given out: The explosion at Chicago resulted from defective plungers la tbe base percussion fuses of the three two-Inch shells. These plunger are cylinders of brass tilled with lead, through which lead a pointed pin Is forced by pressure until the point is on tbe plane of the forward face of the cylinder, while th other end of the pin projecte about a quarter of an Inch beyond the rear plane of the cv Under.

This plunger is placed la a cav ity In the fuse plug, which, plug is solid at the rear and contains a percussion capsule at the front; so long as the cylinder of the plunger does not move the point can not strike tne percussion cap wnvn the gun Is tired tbe the lead-tilled brass cylinder strips down over the pin. leaving its point ex posed. When after nnng the shell strikes a re- aistinff obiect the cylinder and pin fly forward, the point of the pin strikes the percussion capsule, and -the bursting charge of the shell is ig nited. Percussion shells having plungers of this kind have been In use since 1MB7. Examination showed that jostling in the chests, coupled Drobablv with corrosion of the lead, had caused some of the cylinders to jar down, leaving the points of the pins exposed, in mis condition a sudden -jolt could have caused an explosion.

Everything indicated that the light battery officers had used great care with reference to tbe packing and transportation of their ammunition and the defect discovered was one that thev could not have been exoected to anticipate. The defective tunes were made at Frank-ford Arsenal la 1HX8, and the ordnance department accepts all responsibility for the dis aster. Steps hare bee a taken to Immediately remove all the defective fuses Issued and to replace them' by others containing-a plunger operating UDoa an entirely different principle, aod it Is be lieved that such an occurrence will in future be impossible.

Flaglbh, Brigadier General. Chief of Ordnance. CLKVELAND INTERPOSES A VETO. His Views oa Special Legislation for tbe Retirement of Army (Beers. Washington.

D. Aug. 7. President Cleveland gave to Congress a clear statement of his views on special legislation for the retirement of army officers in a veto today of tbe bill for tbe relief of Eugene Wells, late captain of tbe Twelfth Infantry, The bill authorized tbe President to appoint tbe beneficiary a second lieutenant of artillery, to be placed on the retired list for disability without the usual examina tion bv a retiring boUrd. Tbe President writes: Appointments to the army under the authority of special legislation which name the pro posed appointee, snd the purpose of which is th immediate retirement of tbe appointee, are open to serious objections, though I confess I have been persuaded through sympathy and sentiment on num ber of occasions to approve such legislation.

When, however, it is proposed to make the retirement compulsory and without reference to age or previous examination, a most objectionable feature is Introduced. The cases covered by the special enactments referred to are usually such as should, if worthy of any consideration, be provided tor under general or private pension laws, leaving th retired list of the army to serve the legitimate purpose for which it wss established. A recent discussion In the House of Representative upon a bill similar to the one now before me drew from a memorandum of the Bouse commute on military affairs the declaration that hundreds of such bills were before that committee and that there were nfty prece dents lor tne passage ot tne particular one tnen under discussion. It seems to me that this condition suggests such an encroachment upon tbe retired list of tbe army as should lead to the v'rtual abandonment of the legislation, based upon sound policy and good administration. There are facts connected with the case, cov ered by the biil now before me.

which In my judgment ioruia lis isvorsDie consideration. The President then reviews the military record of Captain Wells, saying that in the fall of 1S70 he was charged with conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. Tbe specifications were that while lotoxi cat he had violently assaulted other offi cers at Fort Fetterman, and struck one on the head with a billiard cue. Before his trial he took advantage of an act Just passed to apply for his discharge, which was given him and tbe charges withdrawn. In lHSo be was appointed a second, lieuten ant against the protest of other officers, and in 13S7 was charged witb being drunk on duty and with conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline in re fusing to promptly obey the commands of bis superior; was eonrt-martialed and dis missed in 1887.

The message continues Since that time repeated efforts have been made to vacate tbis judgment snd restore the dismissed officer to the service. While a num ber ot committees in Congress have made re ports favorable to such action, at least two committees have recommended a denial of leg islative relief. Both of these reports were made. oa behalf of House committees on military affairs, by distinguished soldiers, who. after patient examination and with an inclination to be not only just but generous to a fellow soldier, were constrained to recommend a refusal of the amplication for restoration.

I am Impressed with the belief thst legislation ot tn Kind proposed is ot extremely doubtful expediency in any save very exceptional cases. and I am thoroughly convinced by tacts now be fore me that tba discipline and efficiency of our army as well as Just ice to its meritorious members does not permit my approval on any ground ot ta ill aerewiui returaeu.

Aug. 7. The long contest waged by the Murphy family to secure a legal status as'members of the Sac and Fox tribe of Missouri Indians has probably received its final veto in a report made by Representative Curtis, of Kansas, from the Committee on Indian Affairs. Murphy is not an Indian name, but the Murphys in question have long been affili ated with the Indians and claim through! their ancestors to have acquired a strain of Indian blood which would entitle them to a share In all emoluments of the fertile and well-improved lands which this tribe con trols in Nebraska and Kansas. For several years tbe government.

In its various branches, has had nnder consideration the case of the Sacs and Mnrphys. In the first Instance the Indians overruled the claim of kinship, whereupon the Murphys appealed to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who sustained the decision of the tribe, holding the family to be aliens. Then the cause went to the Secretary of the In-1 terior on appeal, and he decided adversely tne xinsnip claim, nis decision being particularly valuable because it sustain I the interesting principle that in con ten- I turns of this nature It Is the prerogative of the tribes to decide who are their members. These facts are set forth in Mr. Curtis' re-1 port, which will probably avail to keep the Atnrpey lamiiy witaoal tne trine.

Tiled Jadgw sticks Ca4 th Eighth la taw Cnlted State fader tbe ConaUtatkm History of the Case Oaly Twice SaeetssfaJL Impeachment, la tbe dictionary seas of the word, means the' act of impeaching, accusing, ar charging with a erlms or misdemeanor, Specifically th arraignment of a minister of state maladministration or treason. la England Impeachments ar mad la the Honse of Commons and tried by the Hons of Lords. The constitution of the United State provides the House of Representatives shall have sol power of impeachment (Art 1. Sea S): and that the Senate shall have the sole power to try all Impeachment (Art.

I. See. 6). Section 4 ot article provlds that th President and Vios President and all civil of oers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for anf conviction treason, bribery, or other high crimes or mis demeanors. "The removal of Federal officers by impeach meat proceedings under Section 4 of Article the constitution has beea attempted Sevan times.

Tn Blount case was the Drat William Blount. United States Senator from Tennessee, was charged ia 17V7 with conspiring with British oers to steal part of Louisiana from Spain for cngiano oeneut. 1 ne House prepared articles Impeachment. The Senate excelled him. alter putting him nnder bonds for trial.

Blount defense was that a Senator was not a civil officer liable to Impeachment, and on the question of jurisdiction only he was acquitted. judge John dickering, of the Federal Dis trict Court for New Hampshire, was Impeached 1809 for drunkenness aod profanity oa the bench. The defense was insanity. On trial be fore the Senate. Piekering was convicted by a party vote, ana removed irom bis orace.

"In 1H04 Samuel Chase, of Maryland, a Justice toe Supreme Court of the United States, aod one of the signers ot the declaration of Independence, was charged with improper conduct to oenca: among other things, wttn having indulged In highly Indecent and extra-judicial renectloB upon ta united state government th course of a charge to a Maryland grand jury. Tne impeachment proceedings. Instigated and managed by jona Kandoipn. ot lrginia. were political In their origin and animus.

Judge Chase was acquitted through the failure of th prosecution to obtain a two-thirds vote against him ia the Senate, oa any of th eight articles Impeachment. He resumed his seat on the bench, snd held It as long as he lived. 'About a quarter of a century later James H. Peck, a Federal District Judge in Missouri, was impeached for oppressive treatment of an attorney. Tbe case was of no importance; the Jddge was acquitted.

"Thirty years afterward, at tne beginning or the war of the rebellion. Judge West B. Hum phreys, of tbe Federal District Court of Tennes see, joined the Confederacy and accepted judicial office under it, without taking the trouble to send bis resignation to Washington. He was impeached, mainly In order to vacate the office, and convicied on June SS, ISA. One of the wit nesses summoned to apyear against Judge Humphreys was Andrew Johnson, thsn Gov ernor of Tennessee, destined himself to be the next subject of Impeachment proceedings before tbe Senate.

One of the four Senators who voted not guilty on tbe article charviog Judge Humphreys with high treason was llilam Pitt Fessenden. whose vot five years later saved Andrew Johnson. Andrew Johnson was impeached on March 4. 1868. the eleven articles charging the President various forma with violation of the tenure of office act.

with violations of the constitution. witb conspiracy to prevent the execution of tbe tenure of office act. with conduct and utterances tending no bring the high office of President into contempt, ridicule, and and with the public declaration, la his speeches while swinging around the circle, that the Thirty- Ninth Congress was no constitutional legislature. It is not necessary to recite tbe history of the memorable trial, which lasted for nearly three months, and in which the hottest of political passions were enlisted. Thirty-six voles were needed to convict.

vote was ever taken ex cept on the three strongest articles, tbe second. third, and eleventh, and on each of these the Senate stood SS for conviction to IS for acquittal, impeachment falling by a single vote. One of the counsel who defended President Johnson was Hon. William M. EvarU.

of New York. -The seventh and last Federal impeachment was that of William W. Belknap. Grant's Secretary of War. He was justly charged In 1876 with corruption in office and the House voted unani mously to impeach him.

He resigned hastily a lew hours before tbe passage of the impeachment resolution and his resignation was promptly accepted by Grant. Tbe trial pro ceeded, nevertheless. Belknap's defense waa a denial of jurisdiction, based on the circumstance thst when tbe impeachment resolution passed the Hons he had ceased to be a civil officer of the United States. The impeachment proceed ings failed by th lack ot a two-thirds majority la tbe Senate for conviction. "It will be observed that tn only two eases have impeachment proceedings against a civil officer of the United States been prosecuted successfully before the Senate by the House of preventatives.

One of these was tbe removal of a drunken and profane Judge, whosepresence upon the beach was a public scandal. The other was a purely tormai proceeding to vacate the office of a Judge actually engaged in open rebellion against the government, bnt technically still an incumbent of his office under the government. Of the Ore unsuccessful impeachment proceedings oa record, two failed for want of jurisdiction Of the whole seven cases, four concerned judicial officers. Only once has there been an attempt to punish by impeachment a Cabinet officer. Oaly once has there been an at tempt to punish and remove by impeachment a President of the United States." We are Indebted to the American Encyclopedic Dictionary for the foregoing lucid statement of the Impeachments under the constitution.

Turn to Webster's. Worcester's, or the Century Dictionary and see wtat they say. They don't even mention Impeachments in the sense of giv ing you any clear idea a hat tbey were: but that not strange, for HO OuO words not in Webster are in the American Encyclopedic Dictionary, and the most remarkable thing about the latter is that The Istxr Ockas readers can get it practically free, see coupor in another column for the means by which it can be done.

Aa audience of nearly 2,000 people listened to -an address by Isaae Clements, of Carbon-dale, who spoke in place of Senator Cul-lom, who waa nnable to be present. Tbe address aroused tbe audience to enthusiasm. He said, in part: Two years ago the United States was in a condition of prosperity, but suddenly a political revolution took place. This was th result of what Mr. Cleveland termed a campaign of education which for- thirty years had beea going on.

This misleading course caused many working men and farmers to be fooled and the result is-being reaped today. Tbe Republican party had builded op a splendid industrial system, a solid financial system, but th Democratic platform annouaeed that both should be remodeled or entirely destroyed. This threat has caused tbe wheels of ia dustry to be checked and the wolf of starvation sits constantly at many firesides. The only point upon which Republicans aad Democrats differ Is this, the former say that duties must be levied on articles not produced In the United Slates aad that articles which are necessities not produced ia this country should be admitted free of duty. The Democratic party Is In favor of tariff for revenue only, and maintains that pro- -tectlos Is unconstitutional.

According to the true Democratic doctrine, tariff duties shall not be levied oa articles such a can be produced ia America. Any other duly Is protection. The consumer does not pay the duty. We fix our own market prices and the foreigner must sell at the same figure or not at all. Tariff la merely part or the expense of getting produce to market.

The seller must pay tbe expense. We don't have to bay foreign gooJS for we can make everything we need at home. (Applause. mo loreiga nation anau again ronirot us markets of America. The people have dm reed this.
