A deal was consummated the first
part OF the week by which Benz.
Mccullough purchased Reuben H.

Mr. Mccullough will take Mr..
Cummins' place on the wagon while
Mr.. Ellicott will continue to look
after the work in the laundry. Mr..

TIME FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RECALL.

The refusal of Judge Archibald to take the
stand In his own defense in the hearing OF
the charges against him by the Judiciary Com
mittee of the House would seem TO make his
Impeachment imperative. In fact. his failure
to answer the very compromising testimony
which has been heard against him indicates
that he has determined to trust himself to
the issue of trial by the Senate.
The Archibald disclosures are particularly
regrettable i'll view Of the fact that they come
at time when the courts have been made the
targets Of great politician seeking Office.
Nothing could have been more la opropos in
occurrence Since the charges have been made
and the disclosures come TO light, the mere
matter OF embarrassment should not operate
TO any smoothing of the ugly places, or
any failure TO give vent TO the scandal how
ever obnoxious II may be. On the contrary,
the only course in day when the constitu-
tional government of the country is at stake
is the brave course. Let the truth come out.
