HEARD IN PASSING

The counsel for the packers say that his clients are not alarmed by the i'm paneling of grand jury for the pur- pose of Investigating them. They are sustained and soOthed by an unfalt- ering trust in their own innocence.- Chicago Tribune.
 The award of supreme court jury in New York, of $4,OO0 damages against the city of White Plains to a woman injured by an explosion of fireworks at an exhibition licensed by the city marks an epoch in the move ment against the criminal careleSsness makes the casualties of July I equal the losses in a big battle-New Britain Herald.
 ''I heard a new term the other day. said w. E. Snow, jr., to the Charlotte Observer. Tt was at Winston. An old lady and her two daughters came into a millinery store. The young women wore mourning hats. The old woman said to the clerk: 1 want q mourning hat. for am in mourning. But my darter here,' indicating, is a widder of two years standing. and she is in light distress. Give her d hat with blue feathers on it. ;"
 Postmaster General Wynne found the desk he used when he was te- legraph operator in the old Cincinnati Commercial Gazette office in Washing ton shortly after the war. Whitelaw Reid used it when he was Washing ton correspondent Reid handed the desk down to Wynne when he left for New York to go to work on the New York Tribune. Now Reid is. to he am bassador to Great Britain and Wynne is to be consul general to London. Wynne says be will take the desk to London with him.
 The impeachment trial of Judge Swayne has had the effect of calling general attention to the railrOad-paSs evil as it affects the general govern ment. It is not calculated to give confidence in the federal judiciary to find that the judges are in the habit of accepting gifts from the railroads whose affairs may come before them in actions at law. But there can be no thorough reform until the presi- dent of the United States ceases to set the example to all his subordinates Of having free special train always at his disposal to take him anywhere in the country. The movement to in crease the presidential salary to Sl0O.- GOO year is defended on the ground that it would enable the president to pay his way on railroads like any other citiZen.-Hartford Times.

With Russia we should maintain
 close friendship, for both the memor- ies of the past and the hopes of the future, says a writer in New York paper She was our friend when we had no other She has possibilities of growth in power and influence second only to our own. She is the block out of which will be hewn the great est of European natiOnalities when she finds the ruler who can bring to her the liberty and the order which her state of development admits of and requires, and who can awake her acute and sensitive intelligence into broadly popular activity. Thus far her intellictual movement has been too much that of a class, who have not al
 ways been in sympathetic touch with
 the real people. The one exception,
 to my thinking, is Gogol, who always thinks and feels from the national
 point of view, not that of Paris or of Italy. There is a strong but largely dormant mind behind all that has been written and said in the literature of the country, which has found a very inadequate expression in the writers we most readily accept as its opponents. Russia has yet to speak the word which will make her entire ly intelligible to the rest of mankind.

study of the important characteristics of each tree and the possibilities of each under management The data ob. tained in this and previous studies are now being formulated for publica- tion. Several bulletins will be issued, one of a general character discussing the conditions of the region as a whole, the others dealing with the several species particularly. The field study covered more than 400 counties, and included all of Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia, the extreme west ern part of Maryland, the western portions of Virginia and the two Caro- linas, and the northern parts of Geor- gia and Alabama. The bureau agents first visited the lumber centers of each county to interview the mill men and lumber dealers. Information was sought especially on these points: The remaining stands of timber and their quality: the annual cut and the uses to which it is put; land and stumpage values, the cost of logging and mill ing, and the prices of the finished pro- duct; the methods of logging employ ed, the specifications for timber in common use, and how these specifica- tions are changing; and the principal markets for lumber. The object of this preliminary work was to gain a thorough understanding of the market and business conditions prevailing ill the hardwood regions. Such know ledge was necessary before the men could go into the woods and work out inteligently the best and most practi- cal methods of handling the forests.

The foreign situation is still a

The foreign situation is still mat ter of local importance, says Banker Clews. It is much to be hoped that the peace rumors coming from abroad are true. Unquestionably there is some foundation for these reports, for Japan is probably neither inclined to prolong the war nor insist upon harsh O" unreasonable terms. Russia, on the other hand, is in a deplorable dilemma. Should she succeed in preventing or postponing the threatened revolution she could easily prolong the war. for though crippled she Is not vanquished. and her resources are by no means eX- hausted. But should the revolution grow in force the czar may be com. pelled to make the best terms with Japan that he can and to bring home his soldiers to suppress insurrectiOn That would he fortunate for Japan also for China and all the far east: but NiiN lp nus sia make thinking men stand aghast Will the czar grant some measure of political freedom to his subjects or not Even if so inclined, he would face q task of the greatest magnitude-th tha, of providing government suitable and satisfying the numerous races of differing views and conditions forming the empire which have hitherto beer, crushed by brute force. In any event Russia seems destined for Il long period of deep unrest, out of which she may emerge a free nation. Events are mnv. ing rapidly in that part of the globe and foreshnd-w great changes. Ere long the open door may prevail in Rus. sia, China and practically all of the far east. When this vast area and population. with all its magnificent re. sources. are opened to the beneficcnt in. tiuences of commerce the United States will attain a prestige and prosperity scarcely dreamed of.

SWAYNE NOT GUILTY
Senate Court of Impeachment
 Acquit Florida Judge.
VOTE WAS MOSTLY ON PARTY LINES
Closest Vote Was on Last of Twelve Charges, When Thirty-ave Sen. atOrs Voted Against Accused
 and Forty-seven For Him.

Closest Vote Was on Last or Twelve Charges, When Thirty-iive Sen- ators Voted Against Accused and Forty-seven For Him. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The sen- ate, sitting as court of impeachment for the trial of Charles Swayne. dis trict judge for the northern district of Florida, mas acquitted him on all of the twelve articles of Impeachment brought by the house of representatives. On none of the articles was there even a majority for conviction, although it re- Quired two-thirds to convict. "A
 The closest vote was on the last arti- cle, the contempt case of w. s. O'Neal, when thirty-tive senators voted guilty and forty-seven not guilty, while on two articles only thirteen senators voted for conviction. The voting for the most part was on party lines, though there was not strict align ment on any article. At the conclusion of the voting the presiding officer di rected the secretary to enter an acquit- tai upon the records, and the court then adjourned sine die.
 Judge Swayne was not in the senate during the roll calls. but in the presi- dents room just back of the chamber. The result of each ballot was sent to him by his attorneys.
 There was an exceptional attendance of senators, and the galleries were crowded. Many members of the house were also in attendance. They occu pied seats especially set apart for them in the rear of the senate chamber and followed the proceedings with the closest attention.
 On the first article, which charged Swayne with certifying a false claim for expenses, the vote was: Guilty, 33; not guilty, 49.
 The vote on the second and third ar ticles, being similar charges, resulted in each case: Guilty, 32; not guilty, 90.
 The fourth article related to Swayne's use of the private car of the Jackson vile, Tampa and Key West Railroad company. The vote resulted: Guilty, 13; not guilty, 60.
 The sixth article charged Judge Swayne with nonresidence in the dis trict. The vote was: Guilty, 31; not guilty, 51.
 The seventh article was similar to the sixth, and the vote was 19 guilty, 63 not guilty.
 The eighth article related to the con- tempt case of E. T. Davis; guilty, 31; not guilty, 51.
 On the ninth article the vote was: Guilty. 31; not guilty, 51.
 Article 10 related to the contempt case of Simeon Belden. ana the vote was: Guilty, 31; not guilty, 51. Article II was similar to article 10 and the vote was the same. The twelfth and last article was the contempt case of O'Neal, and the vote was: Guilty, 8; not guilty. 1T. This acquitted Judge Swayne of all the charges. .,...

Many connecticut people pretend to be surprised because as they say, Gov. ernor Roberts is paying political debts by his appointment of certain men as members of commissions and judges, and so forth. It would be greater surprise to the other side of the house did he not do this. The republicans, ill the words of a once well known democrat, want to know probably what they are here for.

tF LOVE SHOULD REST AWHILE

If Love should ever step aside
 And sigh ard say: 'I'm weary of my tasks; I'll bide
 A little by the way I'll let the world 50 on a day Without my help, without my care''- And If that day Love should withdraw Not all the creeds nor all the law That men so greatly prize
 Would serve to keep The strong, the weak, the dull, the wise From gathering in a struggling heap And clawing threats and gougirg eyes If Love for one day lay as.eep. Unreasoning Seifishness would sweep
