THE FAMILY DocToR.-Here is an amusing ex-
ample Of that bland. gentlemanly, useful humbug
the fOurth.rate family doctor. Although undoubt-
edly bumbUg. he is not a quack. His profes-
sional requirements are quite up to the average
mark, although they seldom 60 beyond it.. He
has satisfied the College of Surgeons and he has
passed the Hall with decency; he has even, per-
hsps, graduated as n. B. at London, and is conse-
quently styled doctor by courtesy. But he is a
humbug for all that. He is not satisfied with the
average professional status to which his average
professional requirements and average profess
sional brain would, II honestly worked, confne
him; he scars high above this, on the strength Of
bland, impressive manner, an imposing presence,
and certain quiet sndacity in prescribing eccen
trio but harmless remedies for fanciful COM
plants. He Is much too sensible fellow to go
beyond his depth, bnt his depth Is toierabiy
deep one; and bis plan of elevating himself on
moral tiptoes makes it appear considerably deeper
than it really is. As said before. with al his
bumbug and pretense he can. II he likes be really
useful. and his waiting room is daily thronged
with resl or fsnciful sufferers who are quite just
| fed in placing modest belief in him. Their mis-
take consists in believing in him absolutely on the
! mere strength Of bsld, impressive presence.

How Impeachment must be Conducted

An impeachment is in the nature of a present
ment by Grand Jury; and in exercising this
Constitutional power, the House is the Grand
Inquest of the nation A committee Will he an
pointed by that body to conduct the prosecution
while the Senate will resolve itself into \ bioh
Court OF impeachment, with the Chief Just &c IS
ITS presiding officer. The President has the riobt
to employ counsel for the management of his de-
1ence, to cross examine the witnesses that NAV
be offered on the part of the House, and to call
witnesses IN his behalf We doubt not that
full and fair trial will be accorded him, and if
may be hoped that justice will be done. It is
mooted question whether, pending the trial the
PRESIDENT should be suspended from the exer
else OF his functions In view of the fact that
the extent OF punishment which the court can
award is deprivation Of office, there would seem
10 De an injustice IN the idea of infictinc it in
ADVANCE OF conviction. On the other hand. if
che ease OF usurpation or malfeasance were very
Migrant, the safety Of the State might require
hls immediate election from power There are
only one or two precedents of impeachment. and
We are unable to say whether the officer was de- |
prived Of his functions during his trial The |
most noted of these occurred in 1903 T. M,
that OF Judge Samuel Chase of the Sunrcme |
court bench. He was Of Maryland He was |
iimpeached Tor imputed partially. harshness and
injustice, IN the trial Of persons indicted under
the Seditlon law. After trial which lasted
nearly two months he was acquitted. His off
clal misconduct was the result of the violent no.
iitcai passions OF the hour, and his prosecution
was melted In part by antagonistic passions. He
was Federalist while the House of Renroso,-
tatlves, led by John Randolph. was Republican
