from Tennessee. who was in the year

with certain British officers to steal
part OF Louisiana from Spain for the
benefit of England. He was acquitted

from the Senate. Then came Judge
John Pickering, Of New Hampshire.
who was tried for drunkenness and
profanity during the year 1903 and
was convicted and removed. In the
year 1904 Samuel Chase. one OF tho
Associate Justices Of the u. 8. Su-
preme Court. was tried on charges OF
Irregularities growing out Of the con-
duct of trial but was acquitted. An
acQuittal was also secured by Judge
James H. Peck. OF Missouri. who in
1890 was ccused of Partially In legal

that he entered the service Of the Con-
federacy without resisnins or vacating

came our most sensational impeach-
ment trial, that Of President Andrew

tfate by reason Of the assassination
Of Abraham Lincoln. Tho charges
against johnson were largely the out

- EGINNING this week the Senate
Chamber in tho United States
Capitol at Washington will be
~ the scene Of probably the most
solemn and most serious ceremony
known to official procedure under our
government. The occasion will be the
impeachment trial, before the upper
house Of Congress. of Robert w. Arch
bald, Judge of the United States Com
merce Court The trial may be ex-
pected to continue off and on for some
weeks or perhaps for two or three
months and inasmuch as the Senate
is due to adjourn for good and all on
March next 1t can be appreciated
that this impeachment case Is prac-
tically certain to prove the big event
Of the winter in the legislative body.
Aside from its significance this trial
before a jury Of ninety chosen men
representing all the States Of the
Union is sure to arouse great interest
on the part Of the public because
such impeachment trials are exceed
ingly rare. 1t has been seven years
since the last previous event of this
kind and there have been only eight
such formalities since the establish
ment of our government.
Impeachment, 1t need scarcely be
explained, signifies the accusation and
prosecution Of judicial and executive
officers for misdemeanors involving
abuse of their official functions. A
good many people seem to be under
the impression that impeachment is
equivalent to the passing of sentence
in an everyday court. This Is an err
ror. AS matter Of fact impeachment
is on a par with the returning of an
indictment by grand Jury. The &C
cused mus. be tried just as must a
prisoner in any court of justice and ii
Is by no means to be taken for grant
ed that the Senators who act as jury
men will render a verdict of guilty
Indeed in several of the impeachment
trials in the history of the nation
there has been a failure to convict

occupies. In other words he IL in
part being tried for old offenses. but
since he then, as now. was the occu-
pant Of U. 9. judicial position he is
a. liable in the one ~ In the other.
Perhaps the most solemn features
OF the impeachment will be witnessed
on the opening day Of the trial. Ger
tain members Of the House will be
designated to act as managers" of
the impeachment proceedings before
the Senate and upon the arrival of
these dignitaries ir the Senate Cham
Der to exhibit the articles of impeach-
ment the Sergeant at Arms will form
ally demand that all persons keep
rilence on pain Of imprisonment.
At o'clock in the afternoon on the
day following the presentation of the
impeachment papers the Senate will
proceed/ to consider the articles and
after the trial has thus commenced
will continue in session from day to
day. Sundays excepted, until final
judgment Is rendered. However. be-
fore the trial 10 entered upon It Is the
duty OF the Presiding officer to ad-
minister the oath to- each Senator in
attendance. The Presiding Oh1cer is
vested with considerable authority in
t. =, conduct of an impeachment trial.
Not only does he have the say as to
all forms of proceedings but he may
rule on all questions of evidence. Any
Senator may. however. appeal from
such decision and have the matter
submitted to the Senate on. a formal
v te. The accused offlcial is, of course.

be represented by attorneys. Wit
nesses are supposed to be examined
by only two persons.--one person on
each side in he case and II a Senator

ness he is required to put the question
in writing and transmit 1t to the Pre-
siding officer. The final argument II

on each side, but the spokesman of thu
House of Representatives are to have
the last word. When 1t comes time
for the Anal decision as to whether OF
not the Archibald impeachment shall
stand each Senator will be called upoH
to vote yes or no upon each Of the 1;
articles Of impeachment and a two
thirds vote will be required to sustain
each article.

tol grounds as 1t did elsewhere in the
country and the most unwelcome out
come was the loss Of number of the
stately trees that have won the ad-
miration of visitors to Washington In
years gone by.
To repair the havoc the Capitol ON
Gals have been planting a large num-
Der of young trees and in order that
these newcomers may in after years
possess added interest for the people
of the nation there has been followed
the custom of having as many of the
new trees as possible personally plant
ed by prominent men. Thus the late
Vice-President Sherman planted a
tree: so did Speaker Champ Clark,
Senator Lodge and Senator Wetmore
and a number of the leading men of
the two branches OF the national leg
islature. Meanwhile the ofhcials have
bestirred themselves as never before
to save such forest monarchs as the
Capitol grounds now boasts. The trees
have been carefully sprayed at fire.

pests and tree doctors" have been en-
gagged at considerable expense to

speaking. maybe. this shouldn't be
called q pneumatic tube because un-
like the pneumatic tubes operated at
the postoff1ces In New York and other
large cities 1t Is operated by suction
instead of by compressed air. Anyway
this new rapid transit. line At the

~ NOE more the makers of
the United States are assembling
at the seat of government to
" take up their legislative labors
and once more they come back to an

toll. II there is any structure in our
broad land that is maintained in per-
feet repair.-"well kept up" in every
sense of the term,-it Is the great
white domed building on Capitol Hill
at Washington.
Uncle Sam Is never bothered by any
shortage Of cash for such betterment
at our legislative factory. 1t is pro-
verbal that whatever may be their
economies in running the general
government the Senators and Repre-
sentatives never stint themselves with
reference to those things which make
for their comfort and convenience at
the Capitol. AS evidence of this
policy 1t need only be cited that the
Congressman have in recent years ap-
propriated money for more improve
ments" at the Capitol than 1t has
been possible to carry out in the time
available.
And this brings us naturally, to
one odd feature of the house-cleaning
tol. Some years ago 1t was the prac-
tice to carry on repair work and new
construction at the Capitol at all
times. but stop was put to this
when there was an accident in con-
nection with some repair work in the
Hall of the House Of Representatives
that all but cost the life OF promi-
nent Member. Thereafter. decreed
Congress, all labor OF this kind must
be performed during the recess be-
tween sessions.
Now this annual Congressional re-
cess naturally varies greatly in differ
ent years. Ordinarily every other year
Is ''long session" and every other
year is q "short session" but some-
times this program is upset by a
special session and then again, where
a. 1t may be necessary for a short
session to end on the 4th Of March
there Is no similar limit to the con-
tinuance of long session. Well. as
It happens. 1912 was the year for q
long session but few persons antici-
pated that It would be quite SO
lengthy sitting az 1t eventually
proved. Congress did not finally close
