The impeachment farce is over
and as every BODY could foresee the
verdict is for the defendant. The
prosecution failed to GUST the land
commissioner, but it has proven
conclusively that the commissioner
is grossly ignorant Of the high
duties and responsibilities of his
office, and that re is willful and
headstrong to degree which
renders his incunbency a FERROUS
menace to the land interests of
the state. The verdict, considered
in conjunction with It's surround

have wondered why the great painter
surmounted the patrarchal face, gray

when Moses came down from the
