OLNEY MAY BE IMPEACHFD

Secretary Onley will do we'll to en-
joy the Christmas congratulations of
Mr.. Cleveland and his fellow members
of the Cabinet, on his course towards
the resolution for CUBAN indepen-
dence, as he may not be- able to ex-
tract any enjoyment out of what is
said and done by Congress ahou. it
when the holiday recess is over. There
vas no luminosity shown towards Sec
rotary Olney for taking the ground
that the ri-ht of recognition belongs
alone to the President, becanse some
OF the ablest men in Congress hold
the same views, but unless he can PIX
plain away the charge, openly made
in the newspapers on both sides OF
the Atlantic, that he personally as
sured the Spanish minister that no
action whatever would be taken by
this administration upon Cuban mat
ters, no matter what Congress might
do, be may find himself in a very un-
pleasant predicam-nt when Congress
~reassemhles, REGARDLESS Of any action
or lack of action upon the Cuban
resolution. II he cannot prove that
he did not make such a ccmmunica-
ton to the Spanish minister he may
find himself confronted with the
charge Of nigh reason. and if that
charge is proven it would make him
liable to i'm Impeachment, and AS a mat
ter Of principle Congress might de
eide to impeaeh him as a warning to
future Secretaries of State to be more
guarded, instead Of allowing him to
retire from office on the 4th Of March.
Under ordinary circumstances the
necessity for passing the regular ap-
preparation bills and the lack Of time
would be an argument against an
Impeachment trial, but that argu-
ment would not carry as much weight
as usual at this session, because JhtTe
will be an extra session of the next
Congress convened soon after PreSi-
dent McKinley's inauguration any
way, and any appropriation bills not
acted upon at this session could he
easily passed at the extra session in
time TO make them available at the
usual time, July 1st.
