THE SULZER IMPEACHMENT.

| By an overwhelming vote, the New York AS
Senbly, at the close of al-nght session, adopted
articles impeaching Governor Sulzer of high crimes
and misdemeanors. The Assemby's function in the
matter is parallel to that of grand jury; the governor
has yet to be tried the actual charges; but under
the New York constitution he is suspended from fur
her exercise of his executive functions from the tlme
the articles of impeachment are communicated
formally to the senate.
The State senate and the judges of the court
of appeals sitting together constitute the trial court
in such a case. Preudgment in such a case is most
to be avoided of course; yet it is perfectly clear
that the public believes the governor guilty of the
his removal from office That will very probably be
the outcome.
In the way of this proceeding, however, stands the
technical protest of the governors supporters. They
say that the present extraordinary session of the
legislature called by the governor for certain
specific business, which he indicated in the CALL and
that it has constitutional power to transact other
business. The governor did not name his own i'm
peachment one of the pieces of business that
he desired attended to- Therefore, it is protested
that that business could not properly come up, and
that the governor cannot be legally tried until the
All this is at best beating the bushes; it has
nothing to do with the merits of the case. Neither
has the fact that Sulzer is being prosecuted by
Tammany legislature The fact that it is a bad
legislature does make Sulzer any better nor does
the fact that Suzer has disgraced the State make the
legislature any better. The fact is that New York
rests under the double disgrace of having machine
Legislature and reform" governor in the position
OF pot and kettle; and it is question which bears
the worse complexion
With New York city campaign just opening, in
which there is good to anticipate that the
fusion reformers will get trouncing and Tammany
will at least lose no ground, and likely gain good
deal, the Empire State situation is distressing If
Sulzer is removed, the new governor with be Lieut.
Gov Martin Glynn, thoroughly satisfactory tot
ammany. 1t looks. therefore, as if Tammany under
the despised Murphy, in sight of a long period
Of more complete control, in city and State than i'll
has known That this could have come about in a.
time when the national Democratic Administration
has cut loose from Tammany, and when State and
-Itv alike have been horrifed the revelations of
graft and crime under the present police 0rganiza-
tcn, demonstrates how impossible it is to expect
ueS of reason and logic to determine the courses of
politics.

MINE ENEMY'S BOOKS.

= The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations is
; reading the books ard articles produced by Prof.
Paul S. Reinsch of the University of Wisconsin, be-
fore acting his nomination to be minister to China
DR.. Rensch has been an extensive author of Far
Eastern and general international questions. The
committee proposes to know whether he ever said
anything that might make him an undesirable dipIo-
matte agent.
A good deal of nonsense about this. His enemies
used to tax Theodore Roosevelt with the things he
had written, but nobody did more than smile. Pres-
dent Wilson's writings were put under the micro
sscepe and the acid, and he was accused of having
: shown himself altogether impossible; but he was
elected none the less.
Men who write are apt to be students, and for
that they should not be disqualified in public service
No man can write book on public affairs TO-DAY
that, in the light of another decades knowledge, he
would not change somewhat; but the very men best
equipped to do it would be barred from giving the
world the best they have in their literary product, if
the Senate committees rule were to be enforced.

The Man on the Road
By II. T. BdtEH.

w HEN 1 first went on
N/ Western trip 1 had never
" seen the large Western
oyster. This fresh-water
oyster" explained the dress goods man,
is very green as to color and comes
pretty near a foot in length. One night
1 noticed oysters on the menu and
called for a dozen on the haIf-shelI
I'VE don't serve them on the shell,
boss the coIored walter explained
How do you serve them?' I asked.
We jus, serve them loose. boss re-
piled the waitsr. ! 49,
Il told him to get a dozen
I'VE dassent serve no more'n four.
boss returned the waiter.
You get me eighteen. Sam" I re-
turned, and never mind about the ex-
pense.'
He consulted with the head waiter
while, and finally disappeared into the
kitchen. l was very strong for oysters
just then, and when one Of the boys at
the table offered to wager a fve-spot
that 1 could not eat seven of the eight
cen l took him up in a iiffy.
The colOred Waterman came out OF
the kitchen with two large soup plates
half-filled with cracked ice. upon which
rested my eighteen oysters, each one
the size of a mans glove. The first
one went down in ten sections. After
the third began to look for small ones.
There were none. After struggling with
the fifth 1 never wanted to see another
oyster.
THE oysters lay there so helpless-Iiks
that l hated to disturb them. When
the sixth one was almost demolished
felt that l would rather pay the five
than finish eating the seventh oyster"
oysters at dollar throw are some
oysters" opined the needle drummer.
''Oh, l don't know" replied the dress
goods man. They were fresh-water
oysters, and 1 found two seed pearls
in the mess that netted me $50. So I
should worry a lot and build a house
on II. The bet made me look them
over more carefully than I would have
done otherwise. For 1 would have sim

TARIFF AND TENNIS TROPHIES.

When one considers the longtime popularity Of
tariff tnkerjng among members of Congress and the
minute particularly with which successive bills appear
outwardIy TO have been framed it is easy TO IN
derstand why so many absurdtes are PerPetratej
, under them.
The case of Johnson, who helped to bring the
tennis championship to this country and who had to
pay duty at New York his trophies was not needed
illustrate this point but does help to emphasize if.
His plea that he did not buy the prizes has sugges-
lion OF pathos but the inspector firm in telling
rim that under the law they were dutiable never
.heless..
1t would seem that any tariff BILL whatever the
economic views or political principles of its trainers
would allow for an exception in such cases. But it
aas long been an axiom among those who have been
reated in much the same way as Johnson that it is
90 much to look for common sense in tariff Iegsla
ton.
Withholding discretion from inspectors may he
necessary means of preventing graft; but, if So the
responsibility is Congress to anticipate exceptional
cases and provide for them without afrontng the
sense of propriety.
