TURN HIM OUT.

According to the New York World
Senator Burton has agreed to resign if
his application for new trial is denied
by the Supreme Court. He has been
twice sentenced to imprisonment. and
the World adds that the United States
Senate should promptly expel him.
and must do so if the dignity and
prestige of that august body is to be

OF the United States Senote has been
considerably lowered in recent wears

THE SOLDIERS IN SHADOW,

The lecture last Tuesday evening. Of
Col. Edgar, on Stonewan Jackson.
commander of battalion under Cen
erals Echols and Breckenridge. during
the civil war revived afresh memories
OF the past, and kindled anew the light
of the campfires on historic battlcfelds
Of the South. Last week the Old
soldiers of the county-thr few who
linger, We're amongst us-limp and
lame, silent reminders Of the days of
low-hanging war clouds and of SORROW
but not shame.
The ranks are thinning. Long lines
of grey, with cleaning gun and glitter
ing sword file past and disappear in
shadOwy haze. The echo Of its
tramp, tramp, tramp, is becoming
fainter and fainter and its length
shOTter ana shorter. Not one of this
once glorious armys thousands re
main who is not marching down the
slope which terminates on the banks
of The Silent River, where the hoarv
ferryman waits to convey them TO
roll call and reville on .sthe other side >,
With the passing of few brief wears
the last soldier of The Lost Cause will
have filed past and, lingering moment
In the shadow, disappear, and the dust

GOVERNOR SWANSON AND
THE ASYLUM.

Governor Swanson has struck the
keynote in adopting plan whereby
the hospital and all other State In
stitution authorities shall report to
him quarterly in detail the receipts
and disbursements OF all the money
that is going through their hands, and
Il full report generally Of each Tnstitu-
ton. This is as il should be. and a
system that should have been inaugu-
rated 10y his predecessors, but for
some reason failed to be done. Good
business accumen should have dicta-
ted such a system, and had it been
done the Eastern State Hospital and
its authorities would not now be in
such n trying ordeal. 1t always looked
as if the Boards of the hospitals were
appointed with IL view of keeping GER
tain men in Office primarily. then the
management, secondarily. We believe
in cleaning out fossils and putting in
new and up-to-date men, infusing new
blood and new ideas. If Governor
Swanson will succeed in doing this he
will have accomplished much for the
State, and will go down i'm history as
we said a few weeks ago. one Of the
best Governors the State has had foI
years. All honor to Governor Swanson
for This stand.
