EUGENE FIELD has been to see Eugene
Debs, and writes about him as follows:
"Ihe newspaper portraits of u. W Debs
are not accurate. They represent him
as fat and sleek, and he is not. Debs is
tall, blue-eyed, pale, smooth shaver and
inclined TO badness. he looks very like

magnetism. Five minutes with him
would suffice, we think, to convince
reader Of human nature that Debs is
man of high ideals. honest convictions.
answering integrity, great intellectual
vigor Tor perhaps rather zeal), excep-

The roll cal was but a matter of
form, the vote of Mr.. Hill exciting no
special interest, until the name of Irby
was called, and when he responded
Aye the deep breath of relief was
audible both on the floor and in the gal

the name of PETER was reached. The
PopulIsts in the house had persisted to
the last in their confidence that he
would vote for the bill so long as the in

house members present in the rear Of

was some basis for this confidence, and
when the senator voted ssNo'' there was

old habitues of the gallery say that the
general air of the chamber when his

on that ever memorable day in 1868
when Mr.. Ross OF Kansas rose to give
the decisive vote on the eleventh article
Of Impeachment against Andrew John

us, he felt las if standing and looking
into his open grave. -
