THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
Sentiment at Nashville in Favor oil
Judge DuBOse.

Chattanooga, May 2S-Waltcr Cain,
editor OF the Nashville American, was
at the Read house yesterday Mr..
Cain gave it as his opinion that the
impeachment charges against Judge
]. J, DuBose will not be sustained
This sentiment prevails in Nashville
The trial will hardly last more than a
week or ten days longer.
One of the clerks of the last senate,
who is in the city, and as such is in
the confdenc of the senators, said that
the conviction of Judge DuBose while
possible, was improbable. The knotty
legal problem to be decided is as to the
word crime, and how it will be con.
ctrued under the constitution. By far
the most damaging charge against
Judge DuBose Is the one accusing
him of allowing only those jurors OF
his court, 1t is thought that the first
argument in behalf of the state will be
made by Saturday. Under the rules
OF the senate, as an impeachment
court only one day and half will be
allowed each side for argument

The President HASN'T Changed His
Civil Service Id cas-.

New York, May 22-The World this
morning, ON lis editorial page, prints
the following, in double.leaded type,
from its Washington correspondent
"The Presidents civil service policy
has not changes since it was announc-
cd in the WorMon Saturday, May IS.
A malicious report to the contrary was
invented by newspaper openly hos
tile to Mr., Cleveland and really antag.
onistic to the Democratic party. Mr..
Cleveland has no intention OF refus-
ing to make removals for political
reasons unless offensive partisanship
is charged and proved He will make
aud countenance, however, good
manyremoyals, and every vacancy
thus made will DO filled by democrat.
Mr.. Cleveland in his last administra-
ton experienced great trouble from
the partisanship OF bureau and division
chiefs. Men whom he had retained in
Office did their utmost to embafrass
his administration, They were willing
to risk their places for the purpose of
discrediting the democratic admin
istration. They were not civil service
reformers. They were spoilsmen, ap.
pointed for partisan reasons under the
spells system. They hoped for prefer
ment and promotion by aiding the
return Of a republican'preside Some
OF these men were in Office when Mr..
Cleveland returned to Washington. A
few OF them have been dismissed and
others will be, There is TO be general
reform Of this kind in the service. 1t is
based on sound business principles.
The Presidnt and members OF his cab,
met are determined to have subordi
mates on whom they can rely in con
fidential position.
"Mr. Cleveland has not yet consid
cred any charge in the civil service
rules. That may como later, but nc
such intention az has been attributed
to Mr.. Cleveland, ofputting all minor
appointments undera commission and
establishing permanent tenure, il
entertained by him. He authorizes the
statement that nothing that the New
York Sun-says of his intentions car
be accurate"

ECKELs ON RECENT FAILURES.
Bad Management and Speculation
Caused the NatlOal Banks

Washington, MAY Ell asked Comp.
troller of the Currency Eckels to-day
ii the recent bank failure were attrib-
uted to the present condition OF the
countrys finances. 81 do not think so, !"
replied Mr.. Eckels. "The failures that
have occurred have been brouht on
by bad management and speculation
out OF the $500 national banks there
have been only seven failures-two in
Chicago, one at Cedar Falls, Iowa one
al. Evanston, Ill, one at indianapolis,
and two in Brunswick, Ga. That is a
very small percentage to cover SO wide
territory.
"The Chemical of Chicago failed
through bad management, while the
Columbia Bank of Nashville, Tenn,
was sort Of kiting institution. The
Cedar Falls bank failed because the
officers attempted to run stock farm
at the expense of the bank. The Evan.
ston bank failed because its president
did not conductitproperly.T The Indian.
apolis bank broke out of sympathy
so to speak, with the Columbia. The
two banks in Georgia were owned by
the same persons, and it seems there
was too much specializing going or
there. There was "boom" at Bruins

CREDIT MOBILIER SCANDAL.
IL is Revived by the Death of the Man
Who Exposed 1t.

Washington, May 3D. Chauncey II.
Snow, journalist and civil engineer,
died mere yesterday, aged CO. Mr..
Snow was one of the corps Of engineers
who constructed the Hoosac tunnel,
and rendered valuable services to the
government by his feats Of engineer
ing during the late war. He was
government director of the Union Pa
cilic railroad and his report led to the
famous "Creiit Mobillier" investiga-
ton.
The Credit Mobiller scandal was
ventilated by congressional inquiry
early in 1878. The facts brought out
are briefly these No private contract
ors could be engaged to build the I'M
ion Pacific railroad, which congress
chartered in 1862, A corporation call.
ed the Credit Mobiles was formed to
build the road in consideration of GER
tain land grants and government
bonds. The capital was $2,5000,000,
subsequently increased so per cent.
The profits derived from the contract
were so great that in the winter OF
1868 the stock was valued at $500. a
share of 500, but Its sales were pri-
vate and the character of the scheme
was not generally known. In June,
1868, dividend of $50 share was de-
olared. Six months later it appeared
that Congressman Cakes Ames, OF
Massachusetts,, had offered various
Legislators stock at the low price OF
500 a share. At the investigation
which followed, these legislators al
legged they saw no improperly in the

prior to the war, and Of its progress
since then, and editorially discusses

HAVE A GOOD TRADE.

South Dakota Druggists Are Satisfied
with the Prohibitor y Law.
PIERRE, s. D., Jan. IA bomb was
exploded in the resubmission camp by
the discovery that number of drug
gists here are quietly working among
the members for continuance of the
present ,prohibitory law. 1t had been
generally supposed that they would
sympathize with other liquor sellers,
and the latter are highly indignant.
Under the prohibitory law the druggists
are permitted to sell any class of
liquors, wine or beer by the glass, pro-
vided the purchaser signs an affidavit
that he is afflicted with some complaint.
Stomach trouble is the usual disease to
be remedied. and according to the books
of affidavits filed by the many druggists
this illness prevails to a tremendous ex'
tent, and requires treatment many times
per day. So long as these affidavits are
signed there is absolutely no restraint
upon the sales, and proprietors of drug
stores have multiplied enormously dur
ing three years of prohibition, and have
done thriving trade.
