THE SNNAYNE TRIAL.

So the senate acquits Judge SWayne
on all the specifications in the articles
OF impeachment. The senators find
that a Judge is not guilty of any wrong
doing Who sends in a sworn statement
of against the government
of ten dollars a day when his actual
expenses have been not owe four dol
aars per diem. The federal court judges
will hardly take this as a precedent,
Notwithstanding the finding of the court
of impeachment on this point; no feder-
al judge will hereafter go to a two
dollar and a half boarding house and
send in sworn returns for ten dollars a
not convicted his trial has mad a good
effect 1t has been the means Of expos
ing some of the "pious frauds" perpe-
trated on the government by the fed
eral court judges and will ave a strong
tendency to correct evils which have
crept into the expense accounts of the
federal courts. Had Judge Swayne
been convicted he might have been
able to look upon himself as something
of a martyr in the cause Of purifying
the federal judiciary. AS he has been
acquitted we do not know exactly
where he will class himself or where he
will class his past conduct, but we are
pretty well sure that he will not give
the congress another chance to prefer
articles of impeachment against him
on the same subject.

THE DURHAM UNION DEPOT.

Durham seems to be in a disturbed
condition over her union depot. Two
years ago the people of that town were
in such a taking for a union depot
where the trains Of the three railway
systems entering there could u under
one shed that they induced the legis!a-
ture to pass a bill known as "the Fui-
Ter BILL" giving the corporation COM
mission power to order, in it's discre-
ton, the erection of a union depot in
n town reached by two or more indie .
pendent railroad ines for convenience
of the citizens of that town, no matter
how much Inconvenience it might en-
tail upon the railroads. This latter
question was not considered at all. The
only point under consideration was
that of convenience to the passengers
to and from uhet towns who wished to
take the different trains or to change
from n train to another. The ed.ct
went forth that there should be union
depOtS at certain points so paSsen-
gers would moi muddy their feet or be
forced to pay hack hire in passing from
one depot to another. The Fuller bill
vas passed. The people Of the town
of Durham selected the place for the
depot. where all passenger trains of
the three roads centering there should
AXE on and discharge their living trae-
fic. The three companies dubbed e.
gether and built a handsome depot on
the site selected. The building is now
ready. The passenger waiting rooms,
the baggage rooms and all other ac-
c~ommodations are ready for the pas
sengers, but the passengers do not
come-Why? Because the town of Dur
ham will not provide a way for those
passengers to go to or depart from that
depot. The railroads are ready, willing
and awaiting, for the Fuller bill'' fore
ed them to build, but the Durham peo-
pie find no way to get to the han l.
some new depot which has been erected
for their benefit.
There should be another Fuller bill
to force the railroads to open a way
to the depot over the streets of the
town or to e down the new depot.
Let the good work of railway destruc-
ton and internal development &C on.

MRS. COPY ON THE STAND.
acter-Says She Still Loves Buffalo
Bill and Wants a Reconciliation.

North Platte, Neb., February 2S.-
Mrs. Louisa cody today took the wit.
ness stand in defense of her characte,
and good name which have been assail.
ed by w. F. Cody CBuffalo Bid in his
| petition for divorce. Mrs. Cody EN-.
phatically denied that she had ever
attempted to poison her husband. She
was asked: did you ever administer
dragons blood for the purpose Of max
ing the Colonel love you more and othe,
women less?
mo sir, and I don't know what
dragons blood is. Never saw any and
never heard of UGH a thing"
did you ever give the Colonel any
thing to make him sick?'
N sir"
DID you ever poison him."
N sir"
Mrs. Cody declared she had never told
Mrs. Boyer ca witness for the plaintiff)
Or any person that she had ever drug
ged her husband to make him love her
or gain control over him SO that he
would sign certain papers for her. She
also denied that she had ever poisoned
any OF the COlOnel'S dogs Intentionally
Mrs. Cody denied that she was ever
intoxicated as had been testified by
witnesses for the plaintiff. She never
drank liquor except for medicinal pur-
poses, she said, and never used profane
or obscure language.
ID you still love Colonel Cody?''
asked the attorney.
Yes, he is the father Of my children
and 1 love him still"
DO you desire a reconciliation at this
timer"
Yes, I do, but I think that the Colo
mel ought to retract the poisoning &C.
c~usation."
Mrs. Cody recited the incidents of the
funeral trip from Spokane to Rochester,
n. Y, when they buried their daugh-
ter Arita.
Did You at that time or at any time,
threaten to d~enounce Colonel Cody at
the grave of your daughter as his be-
ing her murderer"
mo sir"
did you ever send him a threatening
telegram in connection with the mat
ter?"
I wired him hat I thought he had
been the cause of breaking Arita's
heart.
A pathetic scene occurred here when
Attorney Wilcox introduced a letter
and asked Mrs. Cody to identify it.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and
between her broken sobs she said it was
a letter from her daughter Arita three
days before she died.
Among other things written by AIRS.
Thorpe, (Arita) was the statement
that the bringing Of the suit for the
divorce by her father had broken her
heart.

THE SENATE EXTRA SESSION.

The Savannah News says the purpose
of the extra session of the senate which
h president has called for March 4th
is to consider the Santo Domingo treaty
We think The News must he a little
off. That extra session may take up
that treaty or protocol or agreement
but we must say that we cannot assent
to the statement that this extra ses-
sion was called for tina special
for it has been the custom of the presi-
dents of the United States to call an
extra session of the senate in executive
session upon the day of the Inaugural
ton of a new president ever since there
have been in~augurations of presidents
and the beginning of new terms. The
chief purpose of the extra session of
the senate is to confirm the cabinet
members of the incoming president.
We are surprised that The Savannah
News does not know this. There is no
significance whatever in the call by the
president of the senate in extra session
~(executive) OIL March 4th. In fact it
would have been rather peculiar if he
had not done 50 and he would have been
severely criticised from certain quart
ers had he let his cabinet appointments
go over until the regular session next
December.

GOVERNOR GI.ENN's MESSAGES

Governor Glenn will, probably go
down in history as the governor OF
numerous messages to the legislature.
We have not kept tally on him or on
his predecessors for years back, but
it seems to us that he has sent In an
unusually large number. We do not
make this comment in criticism OF our
new governor, for If ever a legisia-
tive body did need the guiding and
controlling hand Of a level headed
executive it was this one. We wish
he had Gent in a good many more If
they could have had any effect on
"tsolons."
SO far, the governor has had little
effect through his recommendations.
To say this is not in any way dis
paraging the executive ability or men
tai qualifications OF our chief execu-
tive. His recommendations in every
instance as far as we remember have
been wise, sensible and with an eye
ID lhS SOou VI Tx Lot
that he has been utterly ignored by
the men of the other branch OF the
government who seemed to think that
they and they alone understood the
needs of the state and Of the people
and that they alone possessed the
wisdom sufficient to provide for those
conditioned br Cnncihta
men as any cause for doubling the
ability of our governor to conduct the
duties Of his office in an intelligent
amer n in a way most conducive
to the best good of the people. Be.
fore Governor Glenn's four year term
of office expires many of the members
Of the present legislature who in their
pride of supposed superior intellect
have ignored his urgent recommen-
dations for certain legislation for the
good of the people, will see the error
of their ways and wish they had taken
the advice of a nan who they viii
then admit knew more of what hcl
was talking about than they WOULD
before admit.
Governor Glenn has sent numerousl
messages to the Legislature. Every onel
Of them urged legislation on somet
subject of almost vital Importance toI
the people of the state. He has ad-!
yocated no measure to which he hadI
not even careful; attention and on
,Thicl he a not become thoroughly
convinced of the correctness OF ms
position before urging action on theI
part of the legislature. The statel
will suffer in the no distant futurel
from the wholesale ignoring of MIS-
recommendations by the legislature.

Colonel HoslSins. who is in command
Of the United States Army post at
Fort DUPONT near here. has issued an
ultimatum allowing the soldiers to play
