THE CHARGES IN BRIEF.

When the impartial historian OF
the future, pressed for space ana
forced TO condense the vOlumlnous
.rg,7ments and OratiOns of this time
into a few lines, is asked to state the
charges against against Judges
Fprrhes and Douglas, what will he
saw Having no political or personal
feeling in the matter whatever, we
think the charges, in a nutshell, are
as follows:
That in deciding the Theophilus
White case and others the judges
have held these as sound principles
|. That in accordance with Hoke
VS.. Henderson, an office is property
and that the holder cannot be Ousted
during the term for which he was
elected.
2. That an attempt by the Legisla-
ture to starve him QUITO do by IN
direct means that which it IS unlaw-
full to do directly-is. null and void.
3. That the Supreme Court has the
right to issue a mandamus COM
pelIing a stubborn Auditor or Treas
urer to perform the duties of his
office and pay the salaries of persons
holding office by virtue of constitu-
tional acts of the Legislature.
Whether or not these things are
of the nature of Il ''high crime or
misdemeanor in Office" let the
reader Judge.

their equivalent in 500 pound bales,
average cost per bale for ginning and

G.. P, of Northampton COUNTY
asks: "Will some one please tell
me something about the culture of
artichokes-when and how is tba
best way to plant and cultivate, their
value as hog food, also whether or
not they are injurious to the Iand9"
Artichokes are planted in drir1s
very much like potatoes, only most
people ridge up potatoes too much.
We would put the rOws about two
and one half feet apart and the tubers
about a foot apart in the row. Would
drop the pieces in the drill and cover

ing several times; perhaps would
give no other cultivation.
We would plant artiChokes as early
a. practicable and on "a good moist
land as could be afforded. The
method of feeding most in vogue is
to turn in the swine and they do the
harvesting. Best results will be
realized when some concentrated
food is fed along with the artichokes.
A rank growth and heavy crop will
draw on the land, of course, but not
so hard as d straw crop.
Some people would refrain from
cultivating artichokes because they
might prove hard to eradicate. We
do not share this fear, though if
tubers are left in the ground they
o0jU grow, and if hoeing is neglected
they may master a succeeding crop.

IMPEACHMENTs A CENTURY AGO.

When Thomas Jefferson was Gov
ernOr of Virginia, about 1871, some
of his acts excited the ~displeasure of
his enemies, and there was talk Of
impeachment just before the close
of his term. So deeply vas Jeffer-
son wounded, that he "retired to
private life, vOwing that he would
serve the people no This
resolution, however, was not kept
and twenty years later found him
President of the United States. 1t
is not popular, of course, to charge
that Jefferson, Washington, and the
statesmen of ii century ago were ave
moved by unworthy mott yes, but
the facts as set forth in history show
that jefferson himself lacked much
of perfection. So the author of the
immortal Declaration of Independ-
ence set about to GUST some of his
political opponents.
Thomas E. Watson in his "Life of
jefferson" just published by Small,
Maynard & Co., tells the story as
follows:
The repeal Of the Judiciary Act
had excited SO much antagonism that
Mr.. Jefferson, intensely as he dis
liked the Federal Judiciary, did not
venture to proceed farther on that
line, but adopted another. Impeach-
ments might answer the purpose.
Therefore Pickering, a district court
judge, was arruigned, found guilty,
and removed from office. x x But
when John Randolph, Of Roanoke, at
~JeffersOn's instigatiOn, brought in
articles of impeachment against
Chase, of Maryland, u justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
the Federalists felt that Marshall
himself might come next, and they
rallied to his support with the strong
est array of counsel the bar could fur
nish. The prosecution failed miser-
ably. Chase came forth in triumph,
the Federalists duly jubilating.
H~enceforth, John Marshall was
In the life Of Chase, in Appleton's
Cyclop8dia of American Biography,
this is said Gin 1904 his political
opponents led by John Randolph Of
secured his impeachment
by the House for misdemeanOr in the
conduct of the trial of Fries and
Calender for seditiOn, five years be-
fore, and for a recent address to a
Maryland grand jury. The requisite
twO-thirds not being obtained, he
was discharged by the Senate March
5, 1905, resumed his seat on the
bench, and retained it till his death.
The Impeachment of Judge Chase
excited much sympathy, even among
his opponents, on account of his ge,
his services to the country, and the
purity Of his judicial record"
The Democratic party-or rather
the Republican party, as it was then
called-was in no wise injured or
embarrassed by these impeachment
proce, dlngs as presented by it's rep
re-entatives in the House. Meeting
the charges of partisanship, the
Jeffersonian leaders asserted that
while the House presented articles
of Impeachment, the Senators OPP
posed to Judge Chase politically
were nevertheless fair and just, &C
quitting him because the charges
were not grave enough to warrant
his Impeachment.

ALLIANCE NOTES.

Patronize the State Business
Agency, At each meeting make it a
point to find out what supplies are
needed by the members, then place
orders for them.
At the next meeting, why not
make a start toward securing rural
free delivery for your locality? It's
advantages are we'll known. YOu pay
taxes to extend it why not get some
of the benefits?
Let the secretary place orders for
catalogues of seeds, farm nipple
ments, farm supplies, etc, for men,
bers who desire them. Order to-
gether and save expense.
Pay the full 25 cents dues uar-
terly. Don't get bankrupt. Keep a
surplus in the treasury and use it for
the good of the order. For instance,
why not start a small library of
standard agricultural books? For a
few dollars great good could be done
in this direction.
At the next meeting, take a sort of
census of your neighborhOod. Get
the names of all farmers that might
possibly join the order and appoint
brethren to call upon them and urge
the benefits of organization. Begin
Ii systematic canvass of your neigh
bOrhood and keep it up until the
work is completed.
Just such a census to ascertain
what farmers might be induced to
subscribe for The Progressive Far
mer would do much good. Ii you
first get your men interested in The
Progressive Farmer you will find it
much easier to make good Alliance
men of them. Try it.
Do the members of your Sub. get
the bulletins of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture? If not their
names should be at once orwarded
to Commissioner PattersOn-Or ii
sent to us, we shall be glad to turn
them over to the proper authorities.
The National Agricultural Depart
ment also issues many valuable
bulletins which may be had for the
asking. We sometimes think if a
nominal charge were made Tor them,
u much larger number of farmers
would read them and that they
would be much more highly appre-
ciated.
