IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS.

Following right upon the heels of
the Impeachment of Speaker Ralph
Davis from his high position in the
Tennessee Legislature, comes the i'm
peachment proceedings instituted
against Hon. j. j. DuBose, Judge Of
the Memphis Criminal Court. Judge
DuBose has for years been one of the
most striking characters on the bench
of that State, and his rulings, while
displaying marked legal ability, have
been the subject of more comment and
criticism, favorable and unfavorable,
than those Of any other judge in the
State. The personal popularity of the
man has always been something won
derful. Upon the other hand his en-
emies are as bitter and uncompromis-
ing as his friends are faithful and un-
swerving. Tho petition presented to
the Legislature asking his removal
from the bench bears the signatures of
hundreds of the best and most inhuen-
tial citizens of Memphis. That the
Judge and his followers will make it
fight to the death cannot be
doubted.

In speaking Of Lillian Lewis, the
fair and facinating favorite of the
American footlights, the San Antonio
Express, says; There is probably no
better known actress in San Antonio
than Miss Lillian Lewis, who is at
present playing an engagement at the
Grand Opera House. Miss Lewis has
been visiting this city regularly for
many seasons past, and her popularity
Is evidenced by the large audiences
that invariably greet her. Although
Miss Lewis has only been seen in
emotional parts, she is an actress of
rare versatility and she has a large

Lillian Lewis,

The popular emotional actress, Lii

pear at Ghio's opera house. She will
give matinee and night performance
on March 18th.
The New York Times says Of her:
"Miss Lewis is handsome rs well as
graceful--her acting was perfection,
and the applause which greeted her
was Of sufficient nature to assure her
a hearty welcome. The company was
strong, especially Whitecar and Gus
tavus Leyick. The costumes and
scenery called for plenty Of admira-
tion, and the Standard Theatre was
crowded with an audience which
thoroughly enjoyed the play, and
which gave vent to its feelings by con-
tinuous applause. Tady LIP is the
hit of the season. The play Is worth
a great deal of money, and should
make both Lillian Lewis and Law
renee Marston rich"

NEVER BEFORE DECIDED.

Judge Upton, well known jurist
of Illinois and Judge of the Mclean
Circuit, has decided in a case brought
before him that the interest of heirs
yet unborn can be sold at any
time and the purchaser at such
sale be given perfect title. He also
decided that the money derived from
the sale of such an interest until it, was
made certain by the lapse of time who
all of the heirs might be.
The question involves a principle in
law which, it is said, has never before
been judiciously considered i'll the
United States or England. The ques-
ton at issue was: Can the interest of
the unborn be disposed of? A man
died devising tract of land to his
brother and the heirs of his body
The widow began partition proceed
ings to have her interest set aside. 1t
was decided the land could not be di-
vided and the only way to give her
her interest was to sell the land. Then
arose the question whether the posi-
ple unborn heirs of the brother of the
deceased could be disposed OF, as they
are not bodies to the court proceed
ings. The case will be carried to the
Supreme Court in order that prece-
dent may be firmly established.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

Perhaps no single idea has gained
more universal credence throughout
the nation. than that which makes all
progress in the South, during the
past year, to have taken backward
turn. Indeed, few, If any, will attempt
to dispute the proposition that 1922
has proven the hardest year experien-
ced in this Southern country during
the past decade. Now this is not sur
prising in view of the fact, that every
oner at all familiar with the depression
produced all over the South by the
uniformly low range of prices realized
for the cotton crop of 9l-92, knew
perfectly well that achievement in COM
mercial progress, could not, under
any circumstances, however favorable,
prove brilliant one. All chances
for boom had been nipped in their
bud, and few among the more intelli-
gent members Of the commercial and
financial world, would have been very
greatly surprised had the actual
statistics on this subject shown that
all progress in the Southern States
had come to complete standstill
during the year just passed. Never
theless, the actual statistics now avail
able show that not only has this sec
tion not gone backward during 1892,
but there has even been what must be
considered under the circumstances
as eminently satisfactory, a fair degree
Of progress. The Baltimore Manu-
facturer's Record, in recent number,
contains an article which furnishes
other interesting statistics. The Re-
cord says Of the South's progress:
Her output Of pig-iron increased
245, $3.50 tons; of COAL 9S6,335 tons; Of
lumber, 230,3l4,573 feet; ofphosphates,
79,64S tons. Her export trade, out
side of cotton, increased $6,000,000,
her railway milage increased 1858
miles, the taxable value Of her prop
erty increased $66,339,S07 the cotton
consumed by her own mills increased
70, 164 bales, and there were added to
her banking capital $2,680000. If
the large majority Of her railways are
in receivers hands, they are, at least,
out of the hands Of the spectators,
and are being shaped to run on bust
ness principles and in the interest Of
security-holders' The figures, as the
Record truly says, "speak eloquently
for the energy and stability Of the
South" They also prove the courage
and energy Of the Southern people in
continuing TO push forward and de-
velop their industries and undevelop-
ed resources in the midst Of period
of unprecedented depression in the
price of their chief agricultural pro-
duct, "King Cotton" These facts
may all be taken home to US here and
the same admirable spirit of pluck
and push, which has advanced the
cause Of the South, generally, in the
face of every obstacle may be applied
to the local affairs Of our city, which
by the means Of confidence, progress
and liberal advancement, on the part
of its citizens, may, indeed, become
the "Gate City" Of the South West.
Never before has the material pros
perity Of both city and country been
assured throughout the Southern
States.

The third lecture in this cityby John
Phillip Quinn, the reformed gambler,
was delivered last night at the Chapline
Street NJ. L. church, on the South Side.
The church was crowded, not o vacant
seat being obtainable when Mr., Quinn
commenced his talk at eight o'clock.
The subject matter OF last nights talk
did not differ materially from those de.
livered on Monday and Tuesday even
ings, except that he gave some atten-
ton to the laws of West Virginia in re-
gard to gambling and its suppression.
1.-THE law of your state" said Mr..
Quinn, regarding gambling is all
right. 1t provides a penalty OF i'm
prisonment from two TO twelve months,
large fines, and that all gambling in
struments and devices shall be burned.
No Inv could more completely cover
the subject,
"Citizens, do you know how to sup.
press this mons,rous evil without the
aid of your city police? Why, all that
is necessary is for you to have q con-
stable 60 with you, and you can batter
down the doors and Contiscate the i'm
plements in every gambling den in the
city. This mode OF procedure has been
employed successfully in Chicago and
other cities and can be employed here
just as well,
"Wherever there is gambling going
on unmolested by the police, there is Il
co-partnership between the latter and
the gamblersj l don't care where IT is,
here or elsewhere. Either completely
or negligence exists. Aftel hearing the
law oil your state read, do you think the
police are powerless to suppress the
gambling evil2 OF course not. The
trouble is the police authorities fail 10
see tho gambling dens,"
The speaker then recounted his expe-
rience with the police in Chicago and
ST. Louis during his twenty-five years
experience US a gambler. In that time,
he said, he had only on n or two oc-
CNsions attempted to run q gambling
house without first securing the pro
lection" OF the police, and that he had
always first asCertained how much this
protection would cost. On two occa-
sions he had paid the money personally
to the authorities. When this protec-
ton is secured, the gambler is always
notified in advance when a raid is to be
made on him, giving him opportunity
to hide from Wow all evidences OF the
character OF the house. On one occa-
sion he had attempted to run q house
in st. Louis without this protection and
it was not long until his place was
broken into by the police with sledge
hammers and destroyed.
III gambling is going on unmolcsted
in city, there is invariably q weak
spot somewhere, and a dark one at that.
1t is said the evil cannot be stopped or
suppressed. What a commentary is
this on Christianity? l say it can be
stopped ii tho authorities want to stop
it. Why, then, is it not stoppeaP This
silver dollar" holding one in his hand,
does the work"
The police will make raids on the
petty gamblers, like the poor crap
shooter or the Chinaman, but nothing
ia done TO the big fellows, who walk
your streets unmolested rs long US they
pay their monthly instalIments.
Mr.. Quinn will conclude his anti
gambling lectures here this even
