A HOWL FROM SCOTT COUNTY.

A HOWL FROM SCOTT COUNTY.
We notice In the Richmond papers
that Hon. Taylor Ellyson, chairman OF
the democratic state committee, has an
| appointment TO the official members OF
| his political family In the Ninth District.
to discuss ways and means to defeat
Col. Campbell Slcmp, the Republican
| nominee for Congress. Four years
ago similar visit was paid that district
by Mr.. Ellyson, and following that the
Scott county ballot was prepared, which
evidenced the most brazen and out
rageous purpose OF fraud ever con-
ceived In this or any other state. II
was the primary cause OF several MUIR

and much bad feeling between neigh

for four years. We thought that Mr..
Rhea was charged with the authorship
OF said ballot, how. however, 1t seems
that Mr.. Ellyson was the instigator.
AS matter OF fact, didn't Mr.. Wysor
have something to do with it.? Why
not charge him with it? 1t seems that
anybody and everybody is charged
with having something To do with il as
suits the convenience OF the Republican
editor, who is scratching around for

never been denied 80 far as We have
seen. Now, We respectfully submit
that until this charge is disproved. or

of the veriest hypocrisy for the Repub

are stained with political crimes and
frauds, to lecture them on political mo-

those whose door yards are reeking
with filth, are capable Of doing our
cleaning for us.
The Sentinel knows, and everybody
else knows, that if the above charges
are true, and Col. Slemp is elected to
Congress, he will be elected by fraudu-
lent ballots. Now, let our immaculate
friends either "put up or shut up"

to law. Sec II, Art II. empowers the
President to grant reprieves and pardons
for offenses against the United States, ex-
cept in cases of impeachment The fourth
section of this same article declares that
the President Vice President and all civil
officers of the United States shall be re-
moved from office on impeachment for and
conviction of treason. bribery or other high
crimes and misdemeanors.
In case Judge Swayne Is impeached the
Senate must sit beyond its regular session.
For this purpose the concurrent session Of
the House Is not necessary, so far as action
by the latter Is concerned. 1t appears that
there is at present strong Discrimination
to move this case at this session. owing
to the exigencies of the presidential cam
paign: irrespective of party considerations.
Such trial would certainly be extended
far into the summer, and it might seriously
upset the plans of members of the upper
house, whose presence would be regarded
as essential. So great a novelty to the
present generation is an impeachment pro-
cess that this case is being observed with
keen interest

Tammanv Worried.

The report that Leader Murphy is in poor
health as the result of worry is to be re-
ceived with caution. 1t lacks what is called
the responsiveness of probability. He may
be worried. There is good reason to believe
that. For three months now he has been
between hawk and buzzard. But think OF
a seasoned Tammanyite weakening physt-
cally under such experiences! He should
grow stronger. Mr.. Murphy, very likely,
has gone to the seaskore, not for health,
but quiet; to think calmly, deeply and with
out interruption. The roar of the sea is an
irvigorating change from the roar of Broad
way or the roar of the gang" He las
problems to solve weightier for the moment
than the gambling situation in the metropo-
lis. or the demands of the Sullivans for jobs
for their followers. and he is right in repair
ing to a comfortable spot for meditation
and decision.

Impeachment.

The vote Of the House judiciary commit
tee 10 impeach federal judge opens the
prospect OF an appeal to this method of
trial after years of disuse. Indeed the
House of Representatives has since the
formation of the government adopted only
seven Impeachment resolutions, and of
these the Senate has passed affirmatively.
that is, with a verdict of conviction. upon

was impeached, but by a vote of Is to II
The Senate decided that members of Con-
gress are not civil officers" within the
meaning of the Constitution and set the ac-
cusation aside. In 1904 Judge Pickering of
New Hampshire was impeached for pro-
fanlty and drunkenness and convicted. The
next year Justice Chase of the Supreme
Court was tried and acquitted. In 1870 the
Senate also rendered a verdict of mot
guilty" after trying Judge Peck of the Mis-
souri, circuit. Judge Humphreys of Ten
nessee was convicted in 1SG2 of disloyalty.
President Andrew Johnson was acquitted
In lS6s. The last proceedings in impeach-
ment were directed against Secretary Of
War Belknap in 1876. but after celebrating
several weeks the Senate decided that it
had no jurisdiction.
Thus there have been two convictions
and five acquittals, or. properly speaking,
three direct acquittals and two refusals to
accept Jurisdiction. 1t is evident that the
Senate does not uniformly look upon the
impeachment presentations by the House
as tantamount to proof of guilt. As a
matter of fact the House sits in this con-
nection merely as does the grand jury In
the criminal procedure of lesser magnitude
The House committee on the judiciary is
thus only sort OF coroner's jury.
The Constitution provides. Art. I, Sec. Ii.

amounts as the result of the digging OF
the Panama canal, and Colombia should
attract a generous share OF it. Under
new leadership, indeed. she should advance
in every way, and take and hold promi-
nent place among her sister republics
The loss of Panama is more notifying to
her pride than it need be injurious to her
fortunes. There is room enough for both
governments, and both should flourish.
Asked if he had yet decided to accept the
presidency of Colombia, General Reyes re-
piled:
IT declined to be candidate, but they have
voted for me during my absence, and may
feel 1t to be my duty to accept the response
bilities. But in any event I shall seek the
maintenance of peace and the strengthening
OF friendly relations with Venezuela, Ecua-
dor and other countries, and the avoidance
OF placing obstacles in the way of an adjust
ment of the canal differences, as such a
policy seems best calculated to serve the
interests of civilization in general
His present ideas about his country and
it's future are so clear and good one may
hope to see him at the head of affairs there.
His fame is greater thar that of any other
living Colombian, and Colombian interests
both at home and abroad would benefit
from having his hand at the helm. His re-
cent visit to the United States made him
familiar with the situation here, and while
in France he must have informed himself
about the situation there, as respects mat
ters in which Central and South America
are much concerned. If, therefore, on his
return home he enters upon official respon-
siblity we may be very sure that only good
will come of it.
General Reyes went TO France, 1t was un-
derstood, to investigate the latest effort to
obstruct the canal project by legal proceed
ings in the courts there. The fact that he is
leaving with these words of friendship and
acceptance of the situation on his lips may
probably be taken evidence that no trou-
BILE is to be expected from that quarter, but
that the decision of the courts will be in
favor of the American ownership.

Hearst in Kentucky.

The Hearst boom has reached Kentucky.
and special commissioners representing the
New York editor are in Louisville confer
ring with the faithful and organizing for
victory. Considerable interest is reported.
AS the democrats of the state have twice
supported Mr.. Bryan, and still hold him in
high esteem, Mr.. Bryan's friend-and. as
many believe, his legatee-should not fare
i'll in that bailiwick. But big battle for
control there approaches, with strenuous
men on both sides, and a prediction as to
the result would be risky.
The newspapers Of the town are inclined
to be merry over the matter. The Courier
Journal, the democratic organ, openly pokes
fun at the visitors. while the Herald, the
republican organ, in spirit Of left-handed
hospitality, helps them to the following sug-
gestion:

Platform-Give the boys chanst"
Give the boys 'chanst,' and with the

audacity, and Astounding self-confdence.

know how: the trick is turned. Mr.. Hearst

sections of the country. gathering in votes,
as it does, with as much ease in Kansas as
in Rhode Island, in Mississippi as In Ohio.

aged to get along without one, but this
youngest man to preside over the fortunes
of the commonwealth has introduced the
novelty, and is said to work it very we'll.
| Should the two machines be united for the
ticket proposed by the Herald, a Kentucky
delegation to st. Louis instructed accord
ingly would not be a surprise.
At the same time 1t must not be forgot
ten that the Beckham machine has not re-
ceived the severest test That approaches.
The young governor has antagonized since
his reelection last November both Mr..
WattersOn and Senator Blackburn, and
when the convention assemblies to select
delegates to st. Louis what Mr.. Conkling
felicitously described as "a halcyon and
vociferous time" will be celebrated Mr.

Sch1ey on Politics.

Admiral. Schley while In Richmond dis
couraged in a pleasant way the suggestion
OF his name in connection with the presi-
dency. He expressed the opinion that it
would be "a mistake for a navy man to
get into national politics." He is probably
right about that.
Many soldiers on the other hand, profess
SIGNALS and volunteers alike, have had a.
strong leaning toward politics, and some
have tried their luck Jackson was a high
ly successful political leader Harrison and
Taylor did not live long enough after reach
ing the White House to prove their quality
in high civil office. Scott failed Of election
to the presidency, but had an overpowering
political ambition. Pierce who had seen
army service in Mexico and was a good
soldier. was also a clever politician. Grant
was strong man everywhere. but was bet
ter qualified for war than for politics. Han
cock had fine qualities but his campaign for
the presidency did not indicate that he
would have made a successful President
Benjamin Harrison was an excellent soldier.
and also one of the most accomplished Of
politicians.
Although our navy has always shone
with luster. we have never gone to the sea
for a political leader. When the war with
Spain broke out the suggestion was made
In many quarters that at last 1t seemed
likely we should make a beginning and
draw upon the navy for presidential can
didate. The principal opportunity, it was
seen, would be on the water, and there was
supreme confidence in the ability Of the
navy to improve it. The navy did improve
1t, and number of names, with Dewey's
at their head, became household words.
For little time there was talk of Dewey
for the White House But there really was
no opening for him. Mckinley on the one
side and Bryan on the other were both so
well intrenched that neither could have
been dislodged by anybody
The situation in the democratic party is
different now. There is an opening for
man of parts in that organization. But
only politicians are being considered There
is no revival of the talk about Dewey, and
that about Miles has awakened no echo
