Debate Lasted a Week
This action was the elimination of
debate which has been in progress
for over 2 week eod which has de.
ve!oped partisan feeling and personal
vituperation. The first vote, that to
table the first three articles, those
relating to the Justification of expenses
went against Judge Swayne by the
narrow margin of five votes. This was
regarded as the test vote. as the
charge regarding expenses was the
only one concurred in by the members
OF the committee signing the minority
report The motion to table these
articles was lost, 100 to 1866
Party Lines Broken.
Twenty-four Republicans voted with
the Democrats against tabling and
three Democrats voted with the Re
puhlicans to table. On roll call three
articles We're adopted, 100 to 165. Ar
tcles four and FIVE, relating to the
free I,se Of a private car by Judge
Swayne. were made the subject of a
separate vote and adopted 1872 to 1873
Like action followed with regard to ar
ticles six and seven, charging him with
non-resdence in his district, the vote
standing 15S to 127 This was the
last roll call as when articles eight,
nine and eleven, relating to the Davis
Bclden case. and article twelve. relat-
ing to the O'Neal contempt case, were
declared adopted on viva voce votes.
Fist Case Since 1876.
The last time the House voted to
present articles Of impeachment was in
1876. when it voted the impeachment
of w. w. Belknap. secretary of war
under President Grant
The debate today was chiefly not
able for the closing arguments in the
case. That for Judge Swayne was
made BY MIR. Gillett. of California. and
that for impeachment by Mr. Palmer,
Fof Pennsylvania Mr. Gilett made an
earnest plea for the Judge and Mr..
Palmer spoke strongly for purity on
the bench and for impeachment.
Palmer Stands for Honesty.
As to the political aspect Mr.. Palmer
said he was Republican and party
man to the last degree but the Re
publicans had stnmped the country on
the claim Of honesty in official life.
The people had endorsed this platform
by majority of 100000 votes "We
row have chance to make good on
that claim continued Mr. Palmer.
The vote was then taken on the
various articles and after the adoption
Of the resolutions for the appointment
OF managers to present the articles to

church activity that l have been able
to devise or carry on win induce the
people Of Hook to cope to church.
There Is Q population Of LOO peo-
pie, but many Of them absolutely re-
fuse to attend church. In fact, only
200 out Of the LOO have attended
church, and some Of these even are not
Hook people.
THE fact Is that the village is spir-
ltually asleep. They do not go to nom
conformist places Of worship, nor do
they 90 golfng or motoring. They
have simply gone to sleep and they do
not give a thought to spiritual things"
The vicar has now departed for the

ashamed whenever his busy master
does not have time to rig him up In

He wears them with conscious dig
nifty and is hugely delighted when any
one stops to notice his attire and COM
ment thereon. He will gaze intently
1t each speaker and joyously wag his
tail when complimented upon his ap-
pearance.
II is not known what within induced
the blacksmith to thus clothe his ca
nine pet ''in all points like as We are"
But he certainly devised the dogs
dress most ingeniously. No detail Ii
wanting. The cut Of his coat Is after
the latest mode-has pockets, too
the collar Is nicely Numbered and the
cravat Is tied with correct smartness-
The first thing in the morning he
must be properly dressed, or else he
vhines piteously. After he has been
clothed according to his usual custom
his Joy knows no bounds, and he dis
plays his pleasure with much bark
ing and wagging Of his tail. He has
the utmost contempt for the host OF
naked dogs who roam about the street
and absolutely refuses to associate
with them, manifesting q spirit Of out
