tory in 1856. Cow Ross fearlessIy and
smerciiessly exposed rascaljty In the terri
tory, and fought uncompromisingly every
form of official corruption with which New
Mexico at that time reeked. This made
him 30 unpopular that when Mr.. Cleve-
land was defeated for reelection and Ross
was again forced into private life he had
to return to his trade as printer in order
TO earn a livelihood. He stuck to, the
case" until the infirmities of age wholly
united him for work, and thereafter lived
In poverty and want. He was eighty years
old when he died. No sort OF private or
official misconduct ever stained his record
II 10 interesting at this late day to specu-
late upon the weight and far-reaching effect
OF that vote of Senator Ross.
Had Johnson been convicted Wade would
have become President and would have
been nominated for Vice President with
Grant, and there 10 no doubt many strange
things would have resulted In politics. IL
was while the clans were gathering to
nominate Grant that the issue was de-
cided and Wade lost the coveted nomina-
ton.
Pretty nearly every important writer on
the constitutional history or law OF this
country now agrees that Johnson with all
his faults should not have been convicted,
Just as he ought never to have been nomi-
mated for Vice President In the first place.
Ross did what he thought was right and
suffered.

For woman in America is a despot to be feared; she has taken the place of the idol of stone or wood to which the redskins offered human victims

 "A pleasure that is not expensive is never a pleasure to an American woman That the poor man in a single day has seen months earnings disappear is matter of no importance.
 '.When married this unfortunate man sets forth to business early in the morn-
