he recent impeachment
SPI.ssssSS- i'f7T= proceedings by the
fA5FK house of representa-.
&dA tives sitting as a
1al% grand jury against
M 81 Judge Charles Swayne
@-a~sAEEz=co OF the northern dis
trfct Of Florida is one OF the most inter-
estfng episodes Of the present genera
ton and as such merits proper atten-
ton. The complaint, set forth in a se-
rfes Of resolutions passed by the FLOR
ida legislature, charges the judge with
various misdemeanors.
It is not the first attempt OF the Flor
ida legislature to obtain congressional
investigation into the Official conduct
of Judge Swayne. AS early as June 2,
1893, the governor signed concurrent
resolution which declared that the
Judge was conducting himself in such
manner as to cause the people OF the
state to doubt his integrity and to bring
reproach upon the states fair reputa-
ton. Nothing came Of this action, and
the Judge professed to regard IL as q
bit of political pleasantly. The present
resolutions adopted by the legislature
are more specific than the former ones
and were Of sufficient gravity to attract
attention at Washington.
There is an abundance of precedent
governing an Impeachment trial like
the one which Judge Swayne must I'M
derpo. The Impeachment of Warren
Hastings has sometimes served as
model for this form of procedure but
the American congress is so unlike the
British parliament in its ways of doing
that English presidents cannot be fol-
lowed to the letter, even though it be
true that the custom and ceremonial of
such proceedings come directly from
parliamentary sources. The articles of
Impeachment drawn up by the house
viii not be as accurately and concisely
worded as a legal paper. The house has
always refused to eliminate from its
charges all offenses not indictable.
Drunkenness. incapacity and tyrannical
conduct would be excellent ground for
impeachment, but would not be indicta-

upon the government, but was acquit-

Tennessee Joined the Confederacy at
the opening of the civil war and was
impeached and convicted. Judge Peck
of Missouri was impeached for permit
ting his personal opinions to dominate
in court matters and was convicted.
The most famous case was that of

ment. 1t was in desperation that the
dissenters sought relief in the courts.
There is a great unwillingness in the
United Kingdom to question a decision
of the house of lords. 1t is seldom done,
and the belief is general that many diff
ficulties are likely to be encountered in
the process. The decision, furthermore,
is pretty universally admitted to be
sound from a legal standpoint, but

left the Wee Frees to their own de-

he was acquitted on the ground that a
senator was not a civil officer. John
Pickering, judge of the federal district
court for New Hampshire, was in 1903
impeached for drunkenness and profan-
ity and convicted. In 1904 Samuel
Chase of Maryland. justice of the su-

Previous to the Swayne case the trial
of officials by impeachment had been
attempted only seven times in the Unit
ed States. The first instance was that
of William Blount, United States SEN
ator from Tennessee who in 1897 con-
spired with British officers to steal part
of Louisiana from Spain for Eng1and's
benefit. The senate expelled him. but

The house of lords decision was to
the effect that the whole of the Free
church organization, its invested funds
amounting to over $4,000, 900, the church
buildings, the colleges and the missions
belong not to the powerful majority,
but to the twenty-six congregations.

ted TO congress. had been awaited with
much Impotence by those who are in
terested in the problem of trust legfs-
lation. In some quarters it was feared
that it might exert a depressing effect
on business, since it was understood to
be an expression Of the presidents own
opinions upon the questions which have
given rise to so much discussion. The
most important feature of the commits
sioner's report is the recommendation
that congress be requested to consider
the advisability of enacting a law pro-
viding for a federal franchise or Ii
cense for business corporations.
Mr.. Garfield makes no apology for the
present system of control of corpora
lions. He denounces it as "thoroughlv
vicious and declares that its operations
amount to anarchy. He enumerates as

not sufficient to prove the existence OF
these evil practices. but that remedies
should be found for them. He main
tafns that severe penalties will not put
an end to the existing evils; some other
remedy must be found

The Royal Month and the Royal Disease.


Sudden changes of weather.are espe-
cislly try ing, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and
consumptIve. The progress of scrotula
during normal October is commonly
great. We never think of scrofula-its
punches, cutaneous eruptions, and
wasting of the bodily substance-witn.
out thinking OF the great good many
sufferers from it have derived from
Hoods Sarsaparllla, whose radical
and permanent cures of this are en-
ough to MAKE 1t the most famous
medicine in the world. There is prob
ably not city or town where hoods
Sarsapsrilla has not proved its merits
in more homes than one, in srresting
and completely eradicating scrofuls,
which is almost as serious and rs
much to be feared as its near relatiyd

smooth so that the mower may be run
over it close to the ground.
There may be sown fertilizer with
the alfalfa to help the manure and it
will probably be we'll repaid.
After the alfalfa is sown, If the land
is very dry and cloddy, 1t should be
rolled. If it is moist, a plank drag
should make 1t smooth and level
At the time of sowing, if some earth
from an old alfalfa field can be had,
it is well to make it fine and sow il
over the field at the rate of about 100
pounds to the acre. Or soil on which
sweet clover (melliotusJ has grown.
The object of this is to transfer some
of the bacteria that thrive on alfalfa
roots to the new field it is as the
housewife puts yeast in ner bread.
However, if the manure has been
prt into the soil and it is not sour, the
seed itself will carry enough bacteria
to shortly inoculate the field. These
bacteria increase very rapidly in soils
filled with humus.
A good test of whether a field will
grow alfalfa or not is to observe
whether it contains earthworms (fish
worms). If it does not the condition
is wrong for alfalfa culture.
After this sowing nothing should be
done to the field until the barley is
ripe or the oats in bloom 1t may then
be cut close to the ground. This close
cutting is good for the young alfalfa
which needs clipping at this time.
Set the binder to cut as close as
posi- ole. and if 1t must be cut high
for anv reason follow at once with
the mower and clip the stubble close.
Then let the alfalfa alone to make a
second growth. If there should come
rain 1t will grow rapidly for about
forty five days or little longer. After
that II may turn yellow and cease to
grow.
That means that rusr has struck it.
Leaf rust is the pest Of alfalfa in all
Eastern States The remedy for rust is
moving off the stems as close to the
ground as practicable.
If there is enough hay to be worth
saving rake il off and cure it. If weeds
are the main growth allow them to
he and mulch the land supposing
them not to he thick enough to smoth-
er it.
When winter sets in have growth
foot high standing to protect the
crowns and hold the snow. DO not ever
pasture alfalfa the first season. Do
not ever allow stock 10 tramp over 1t
in cold weather nor drive across il
with wagons.

Der 1t may succeed well sown alone.
The ma amer would be to plow a wheat

vest, applying a light coat of manure
and imme diately working it down TO

The way to do this is to have har-

phatic rock not treated with sulphuric
acid, is very cheap supply of
phosphorus. This phosphorus is not
available when applied to some soils
deficient in humus.
But when floats are mixed with
stable manure in some way the phos-
phorus is made available and the
plants can get it. Therefore the wise
farmer sprinkles his stables with
floats which absorb the ammonia and
makes the stable smell sweet, and
when the manure is applied its value
has been almost doubled. Stable ma
dure fortified with floats is the thing
to apply to the soil to make alfalfa
grow.
This manure may be applied to a
preceding crop of corn or tobacco,
if 1t is applied heavily enough so that
there is large residue left.
Or it may be applied directly before
the ground is plowed for alfalfa. This
is safe way. 1t may be TUNED under
or narrowed IN or disked in or left to
lie OH the surface through the winter
and the land plowed in the early
spring.
Just get it over the land in any way
and as soon as convenient after it is
made, it will do the work.
Apply as much as.twenty five tons
to the acre and more if you have 1t.
This Will be help, but In strong
Kentucky clays there is no need to
fear putting on an abundance It will
not leach away, and the more humus
you get III that soil the better your
alfalfa will be. Do not be discouraged
by this information; you can afford
10 use the manure to start a crop
that maintains itself and makes such
a large amount of forage that will,
if fed and the manure saved, in
turn enrich yet other fields for many
years.
Late in winter or IN early spring
the land may be plowed. 1t should be
broKen deep and as soon as the land
is ready to WORK it should be harrow
ed to good seed bed.
Alfalfa wants firm seed bed, so
that the little rOotlets find an unbroken
way down INTO the moist earth be-
meath.
At little later than tine for SOW

after danger of hard freezing is over,

more is waste. There are in a bushel

To sow fifteen pounds per acre would
