A Nnw YIrW or TT.

The Kansas City Journal has a rath- CT unique editorial in connection with the swayne impeachment. It practi- caliy takes the position that for such offences as he is charged with he should have been indicted and tried in court as any other criminal would be. "An impeachment" 1t says, has the effect of clothing the defendant in grandeur as . famous criminal" whereas. if he were convicted by jury me would thenceforth be treated as eoptsmRtible nalsfactor." It adds that these considerations made many representatives in the House vote against the Impeachment, ai- though they believed Judge swayne to be guilty of the things charged From their point of view. 1t is beneath the dignity of the Senate to shoulder the duties of twelvs- jurymen and spend days in listening to the evidence for and against a man charged with com hitting offenses as small and despic- able as those of q pickpoeket or a petty thief"
 This. we repeat, Is q peculiar view to take of 1t, but there may be some force to it. If the Senate eonvicts swayne he will probably view himself as . sort of Warren Hastings, and some others may take the same view of the case. Ills conviction by the Senate will carry with 1t no penalty except removal from ofice and disauai- ification to hold office in future, unless pardoned and his disabilities removed. This penalty would be enough for 8 high-minded man, which, however, he does not appear to be. but a conviction in q criminal court might send him to the penitentiary. Then instead of pos ing as a famous criminal he would be looked on as other convicted criminals are regarded.
 The Journal may be correct In esti- mating the reasons why some of the Congressmen refused to vote for his impeachment. They may have felt that 1t Is beneath the dignity of the Senate to waste It's time sitting in judgment on man charged as he Is, and may have preferred turning him over to the public prosecutor. Con- viction by a jury and the sentence of judge would have vacated the office just as certainly as conviction by the Senate can do,
 But Is 1t certain that he could be indicted and tried in the State court, or in "a Federal court? The law has many loop-holes through which the big criminals can escape, and it would be strange If he failed to squeeze through one of them. Then, again, | whether the Senate does or does not convict him is 1t certain that he can not stIlI be Indicted and tried? We do not know that conviction by tho Sem ate would bar a prosecution in the courts, or that such a prosecution will be barred if the Senate fails to convict. Among other things he is charged with drunkenness, with padding his ac- counts, with rendering decisions for pecuniaFy considerations, and with several other offences which, if not sufficient to convict him in criminal court certainly should be sufficient. But we regard 1t as highly probable that the Senate win fail to convict and that will be the end of it

THE MUDDLE I'M CoLoRADo.

From all that we have been able to learn the last election in Colorado must have been one grand saturnalia of raseality. Although Adams has been seated as Governor they are still Investigating, and the deeper they dig the worse Is the smell. One witness testihes that he voted no less than forty times at different polling places and under different names, which we call 6 pretty good days work for short November day. Had the eIec- tion been held about the lst of July he might have run the total up to fifty, at least. We do not know the price paid repeaters, but presume 1t could hardly have been less than one dollar per vote. and even at that low figure this fellow didn't do a bad days work
 What is an election worth when such things are not only possible, but are actually carried into practice? We do not know what sort of rules and regulations they have for their elec- tions in that State. but we do know that 1t must be an exceedingly loose system which admits of such degrada- ton of the ballot-box. Neither do we know whether both parties were equally guilty but the efforts of the Investigating board seems to be direct ed to the work of throwing out as many Democratic votes as possible. Adams is the de f6etO Governor. and 1t Is stated that Peabody win not con- test hiS right to retain the oeieA, but ali the sams thsy are going on with tho work of reauelng the pemocratic

A writer in The New Yrk Times has what he considers an easy and prae- ticable method of settling tarife dis Sensions as well as of giving us an equitable tarif schedule. His plan is for Congress to enact a very brief law ,con6rming the Dingley law, with the provision that no rate in that law lshail exceed 40 per cent ad valorum." He thinks such a law ought to be sat- 1seaetoTy to all Republican revision I5Sta In our opinion. 1t would be worse ,Ahan the present coalition. If such a law were passed we suppose 1t would necessarily be left to a Republican ad- mInistratlon to fix the duties, and what would hinder them from putting . 40 per cent duty on anything or ev- srythtng? The only limitation would be that no duty should exceed 40 per cent. and we would be worse off than
 we now are.

whether street cars can be proft- ably operated on Scent fares is con tinualIy exciting discussion, but 1t seems to us that the only way to set- tie the matter is by making a fair test of 1t for a reasonable length of time. Argument won't settle it, nor will ali the computations and calcula- lions that can be made. We think it bound to come just as the reduction did on the railroads. and we cannot believe that the street railways would pusas in the long run from the change.

 Worcester March s.

Worcester. Jan 20.-Graduate Man ager of Athletics at Holy Cross, Will liam Wclch. and Manager Warner of the Tufts track team have decided upon March $ as the date for the dual meet which is being planned between the two schools. Negotiations in ref erencc to the meet have been going on for some time, but the date was not decided upon until this week. The plans, however. have not been com Pieted yet as there is some hitch in the program of events to be run off, but it is expected that this matter will be strengthened out in q few days and the events will probably be the same as in most intercollegiate meets. Both managers were agreeable to have the meet come off fin Worcester. and as the Holy Cross gymnasium is the only available place for holding such q meet. it was decided to hold it here. The meet will he the first ever held between the two schools. and will at tract considerable attention here.

 The result of this meet acted as a stimulus to the students and since their return to college Il number have been out training for positions on the relay team which Is to meet George town and Fordham at the latter col lege's meet in New York, February IS. The meet with Tufts will give track athletics a still greater boom here and will undoubtedly make them a fixture.
