He Was Impeached.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
A wager has been made on the question:
"Was Andrew johnson impeachedi"
Will you kindly answer this question in
your valuable paper? We are aware that
the resolutions for impeachment were
passed in the house of representatives and
that the two-thirds vote necessary for
impeachment was not forthcoming in the
ster's for definition of the word elm
pesched." But the parties interested in
the wager are not satisfied with either
cyclopedia or dictionary, and 1 would
therefore as referee be pleased to have
your decision. G. LAUDER.
(Andrew johnson was 'timpeached," al
senate, the one vote needed being lacking.
An Impeachment is an accusation, and
not verdict. The legal meaning of "im-
peachment" is thus set forth in the Amer
ican and English Cyclop@dia of Law:
Impeachment is a process against a per-
son accused of treason or of high public
crimes and misdemeanors. By the consti-
tuition and laws of the United States i'm
peachment may be defined to be written
accusations by the house of representa-
tives of the United States to the senate of
the United States against an officer. They
are called articles of impeachment. But in
England impeachment is defined to be the
preparation of articles by the house of
commons and trial by the house of lords.
In State it is such an accusation of an
officer by the representatives of the State
before the senate" The man who bet that
Andrew johnson was not impeached has
lost.-EDIToR COURIER

try, and to the fact that smart rabbis can
obtain both lucre and honor. 1t says:
''Taken merely from business stand
point, no other profession compares to the
American Jewish ministry. The moment
young man graduates he is sought after,
and seldom, if ever, starts with salary of
less than 81 500, and if he has anything in
him commands all the way up to $40, 900 a
year, at an age when men in other profess
sions are glad to make bare living. In
addition, he is secure for life, as a rule,
and not subject to those numerous contin-
genoies which may at any time ruin the
career of doctors or lawyers through no
fault of their own. There is, also, no pro-
fession in which man is more honored, I"
When they were initiating things in the
Argentine Republic they didn't stick at
trifies. 1t has just leaked out that even
the official valuations, both of imports and
exports, have been greatly exaggerated,
the former by about fifty per cent, and
the latter by twenty. Thus sugar has been
valued for the past three years by the Gus
toms authorities at $3.50 the ton, while the
actual price in the Buenos Ayres market
has averaged only about $50. Kerosene
has been assessed at eighteen times it's real
commercial value. The same imitation,
though in less degree, has been practised
in the case of many other imports, SO that
the official figures of imports for the past
three years ought to read s249, 500, 900 in
stead of s373, 500, 900, as officially declared.
In like manner the government figures for
exports are too great by s64, 900, 900 for the
past three years.

MIR. HILL,s TESTIMONY.

If anything was naodAd TO suo" JUST tne
nature of the performances of the Big
Four it is furnished in the testimony of
was given last evening. No wonder the
accused commissioners wanted to get rid
of him. He wouldn't help Commissioner
Sullivan carry out political revenges. He
wouldn't keep quiet when Commissioner
Atwater's teams (Which, by the way, seem
to be very much in evidence) were wrong
fully employed. He considered it his
business to look out for the interests of
the city rather than the interests of Com
missioner Atwater. He would not make
out such an order as was wanted on the
New Haven Pipe company. He did not
see why Commissioner Atwater should
misuse his power in the Prince street and
Mechanic street sewer cases. He did
not think that Commissioner Atwater's
business relations with Anthony Carroll
were quite proper. He did not see why
the city should be compelled to pay 60 per
cent more than was necessary for work on
the Boulevard sewer. He did not want
the form of contract changed so as to do
away with an important safeguard. And
in other ways ne was impracticable and OBJ
noxious. 4 man who can't make himself
more agreeable and useful to Big Four
than Mr.. Hill has done can't expect to have
the approval and favor of Big Four.
But he deserves the approval and favor of
the people who have to pay the taxes.
The cross-examination of Mr.. Hill
showed what has been thought of his abili-
ty and services by other towns and cities
in Connecticut. They were in demand,
and he had a perfect right to do outside
work SO long as he did what he was paid
for doing here. All the raking and scrap
ing that has been done has failed to show
that he neglected his work here. The
truth is, few men whe are city engineers
spend as much of their time in their own
city work as he has done.
The attempt to show that Mr.. Hill has
not been competent and faithful reveals
the weakness of the defense. A fine edu-
cation, twenty-one years of steady and
skillful work, reputation which is not
confined to this country, and the respect
and confidence of his professional brethren,
are all against it. 1t is preposterous and
Ridiculous

ELECTRIC POWER,


So : ig stories have been told about
the t. mission of electric power over
long, noes, and the general impression
is tha -. difficulties of such work have
been practically overcome. But DR.. Louis
Bell takes view of the matter which is
perhaps sensible if not very enthusiastic.
There are, as he points out, really two
separate problems. One is the distribu-
ton of electrical power rather than long
distance transmission-the case in which
power is generated at a central station and
then distributed to motors at various
points. The other is the transmission of
energy from a point where it can be cheap
ly generated to point where it is badly
needed. This can be done by sort of
exaggerated central station service, or by
the utilization of water power, which DR..
Bell calls ''taking single large unit of
power at one point and carrying it to an
other" or by long distance work where
there is group of mines or a series of
small towns scattered at various points to
which electricity must be supplied from
single point. The last, DR.. Bell thinks,
els the meanest case one can possibly
meet in the transmission of power" He
enters into somewhst elaborate compu-
tation of the cost of the various methods.
He finds that in direct supply it will run
up very rapidly for long distances. In
using a motor generator we have an initial
cost for the machines alone of about 800
per horsepower, and the pole line still has
to be figured upon. Of the alternating
system he thinks that the cost is unknown.
"With regard to long distance work." he
continued, "there are a great many ques-
tions being asked just now, and I think
the wisest thing an engineer can do is to
keep his eyes open and his mouth shut
about committing himself to methods; be-
cause, to tell the truth, we don't know
very much about it. After a distance of
twenty-five or thirty miles is covered |
the whole subject becomes inextricably
snarled."
But DR.. Bell admits that all the lions in
the way may be disposed of in very few
years and perhaps in very few months.
What has been done is certainly very sig
nifcant of what may be done.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The crown of the Gar of Russia is
valued at $6,000,0O0, but the head that
wears it lies very uneasy.
1t is spreading. The Prussian minister
of education has issued instructions that
female teachers appointed by the depart
ment must give up their positions if they

Scientists can't let anything alone.
They have tackled maple sugar and they
say that its peculiar flavor is due to the
presence of impurities in the sap, and
that if these impurities could be eliminat-
ed the sugar would taste exactly like pure
loaf sugar. But we probably shall not see
anybody advertising 'impure maple su-

Lest the bulk of the natives are forced to
