Of governor in favor of the lieutenant
governor pending the trial of the charges.
The state constitution. however. seems
TO cover this point clearly in its pro-
vision that ''in case Of the impeachment
of the governor the powers and duties
OF the office shall devolve upon the lieu
tenant governor until the disability shall
cease Some confusion arises in regard
to the exact meaning of the word I'M
parchment 1t does not signify the con-
viction Of an official. but merely his
accusation. That is the accepted sense
of the word. To mpeach is practically
the same as TO indict.
There is difference in respect to the
temporary effect of Impeachment between
the New York state constitution and the
federal practice, at least in regard to the
chief executive. The fourth section OF
Article 2 of the federal Constitution pro-
vides that the President. Vice Presi-
dent and all civil officers Of the United
States shall be removed from office on
Impeachment for and conviction of trea-
son, bribery or other high crimes and
misdemeanors. In the only case of
presidential Impeachment under this Con-
stitution the President continued to act
as chief executive pending trial. Some
held at the time that he should be re-
garded as temporarily disqualified after
Impeachment and before final action by
the high court under paragraph . OF sec
ton of the Second Article. which reads
that lin case Of the removal of Presi-
dent from office, or of his death, resig-
nation or inability to discharge the pow
ers and duties of the said office, the
same shall devolve upon the Vice Presi-
dent. and the Congress may by law pro-
vide for the case of removal. death, reslg-
nation or inability, both of the President
and Vice President, declaring what off-
Ger shall then act as President. and such
officer shall act accordingly, until the
disability be removed. President
shall be elected This contention, how
ever. was not sustained and President
johnson exercised his executive func-
tons throughout the trial.
1t will be noted that the constitution
of the state of New York explicitly states
that upon the impeachment of the gov
ernor his powers devolve upon the lieu
tenant governor. II it were intended that
this passage of authority should take
place only upon conviction it would seem
that the same language would be used
as that employed in the Constitution of
the United States, which particularly de-
clarcs that the impeached official shall
be removed from office upon conviction.
There is no evading the plain intention
OF the state constitution to suspend the
governor from his official functions pend
ing trial. and il Mr.. Sulzer insists upon
the exercise of authority at Albany be-
tween now and the 18th of September,
when the trial occurs, and thereby
throws the affairs Of the state into con-
fusion, he will ALLEVIATE a large degree of
the support now given him by some of
the people, who feel that he is a victim
of Tammany malevolence.

Street Car Speed.

tions which put a limit upon the speed

IL Is unwise TO check the street car speeds
az long as an effort is being made to
improve the service by giving all pas
sengers an opportunity for seat. If
in order to accomplish this end more
cars are put on il follows that higher
speeds must be maintained wherever pos
sible in order to use the tracks TO the
fullest advantage. High speed by the
street cars is not necessarily a source of
grave danger. A slow-going street car
can. do as much damage as one running
at a high rate. Ordinarily accidents in
which street cars figure are due to the
inattention of the victims. Inasmuch as
the cars run on fixed tracks there is no
reason for any person TO be taken by

The Talk About q Recess.

The suggestion that Congress take a re-
cess after the passage OF the tariff bill
until day in November is not new. 1t
has been discussed Informally for some
weeks, and gossip states that influential
democrats both in the Senate and the
House favor the step, but fear the Presi-
dent. He insists on a currency measure
without delay, and. with his sack full of
patronage, yields great power. The man
with empty platter in hand wants to
stand wen with the man presiding at the
pie counter.
The currency problem, as everybody
knows, is today in a very confused state.
Confusion in the democratic ranks is
especially noticeable. AS on the tariff
question. there are radicals and conserva-
tives. The radicals are playing to the
farmers. The conservatives, though ex-
pressing solicitude for the farmers are
afraid Of going too far I'm that direction.
Why not, the radicals ask, give the
farmers credit in bank on their crops ?
The conservatives do not object i'll direct
terms, but want little time to think it
over. If the grain growers are entitled
to such consideration. why not the live
stock producers? If corn and wheat
are to be good as security, why not beef
cattle. blooded horses and fiocks of
sheep? May not an effort he made to
extend credits that far. and even far
Their?
The President wants an emergency cur
rency law now, and law dealing with
agricultural credits later. He promises
report and a recommendation on the
subject to Congress at the regular SEES
sion.
Whatever the result: whether cur
rency law is enacted now or later
whether agricultural credits are embed
led in the currency measure, or made
the subject of a separate enactment the
truth should be faced, and the truth is
that Congress at present is not sufficient
ly advised to take UP and act upon either
phase of the currency question. Toe
much Is involved, and too great divi
sion Of opinion exists about what should
be done, to make haste other than very
risky.

Complaining the Mexican Problem

Henry Lane Wilson, the retiring am
bassador to Mexico. must be accredited
with a deliberate purpose to force the
administration 10 terminate his relations
with the government abruptly in giving
out for publication n statement severely
ertticising Great Britain for it's recent
declaration regarding the recognition of
Huerta. His resignation having been ac-
cepted to take effect in October, Mr.
Wilson was still an official OF this gov
crnment, and it was incumbent upon him
10 maintain a diplomatic silence on mat
tiers OF international moment That he
chose TO break this silence in indignant
REPUTATION OF the British statement con-
corning his responsibility for England 8
recognition of Huerta cannot be re-
sarded as the result of an angry impulse,
but must be attributed to calm pur-
pose to influence public sentiment and
possibly 10 precipitate crisis.
In the matter OF Mr.. Wilson's degree Of
accounta bility for the British recognition
OF Huerta tho public takes but little in
tercst. "A far as he is concerned per-
sonally tic situation has passed to more
Significant matters and there will be no
excitement over controversy between
ulln ana the DepdEtIleut O1 Ctdlt OT uc-
tween him and the government at Lon
don. But there is grave concern as to the
possible effect of this declaration of his
upon the international situation. That
the United States Will promptly disavow
his expressions SO far as they give Of
fcnsc to England is to be expected. But
will this suffice to maintain the balance
which has with such difficulty been pre-
served during the past fortnight with ref
erence to the possibility Of war Of in
terventfon?
The President has recently declared, it
is reported, his belief that an organized
effort Is being made to force the United
States into war with Mexico. He has
undertaken a course of possible media
ton that Is still possible Of success, and
he shows no signs OF yielding to pres
sure to precipitate hostilities or situa-
ton which threatens the necessity of a
military campaign. II the Mexican situa-
ton can resolve itself peacefully for the
present something will have been gained,
even though there IL no assurance Of
permanent stability or an assured relief
of the United States from moral respon-
sibility. In this situation 1t lie desirable
that every factor that makes for pa
cihc adjustment and for harmonious
understanding should be exerted, and 1t
is to be deplored that personal feelings
should intervene to place in jeopardy in
any degree the already hazardous effort
Of this government to effect a settlement
south of the Rio Qrande.

The Star to Print the Bryan Lectures.

Seldom have the unofficial utterances
Of a public man aroused such keen in
terest as those OF William Jennings
Bryan now serving Secretary of
state. He is today probably without
qualification the leading chautauqua
lecturer in this country, and recently a
discussion has arisen as to the pro-
priety Of his continuing the delivery OF
his lectures on this circuit as a means
OF increasing his private income. Owing
10 the pressure of public business this
question has been in a measure and for
the present settled by the temporary
withdrawal of Mr. Bryan from the
lecture circuit. But the public is not
to be deprived of the opportunity OF
at least reading the words that have
heretofore thrilled and held spellbound
immense numbers OF people as deliver
ed In Mr.. Bryan's eloquent style upon
the lecture platform. The Star has
secured the right to print exclusively
in Washington the full text OF the five
Bryan chautauqua lectures, and they
will appear in Successive issues Of The
Sunday Star beginning August II, when
The Price OF Soul will be published.
II may be doubted whether newspaper
feature OF equal public interest has
been presented in many years. Whether
the course Of Mr.. Bryan in delivering
these lectures while Secretary of State
is approved or disapproved, whether the
views which he presents are Endorsed
or not. there Is still keen interest in
what he has TO say, and although in
their presentation in silent type they
lack the force or his personal delivery,
they arc nevertheless of remarkable
value as reading material. and The Star
feeis that IL ie fortunate I'm being able

surprise. and with the track as plain
warning of danger the rate OF speed
is a matter of small moment to the
pedestrian or the other street user The
street railway congestion can probably
be materially lessencd if the average
speed is increased, and without IN any
appreciate degree adding to the public
danger. The Commissioners should take
this possibility into consideration in con-
nection with the plans for the improve
ment of the service and contemplate the
ACCESSIBILITY of raising the street cal
speed limit. AS long as the rule stands
as at present however 1t should De

He never raised single cheer
For party, creed or man
Till he had taken time to hear

He never made a move that led

Was not to disagree.
And SO he rose mid mild applause
To an important height.

Reviving an Old Quarrel.

From the New York World.
1t took more than one hundred years to
establish complete and final interpreta-
ton of the old constitutional provision as
to the election and appointment OF United
States senators to fill vacancies. From
the complications that have arisen over
the selection of successor to the late
Senator Johnston of Alabama it seems
likely that the new seventeenth amend
ment will be productive Of controversies
almost as lasting. The author Of this
amendment. which became effective on
the :'lst of May last. might have met the
whole difficulty with twenty or thirty
words. but he failed in that respect, and
so the old contention is on again. While
IL is now the organic law that senators
shall be elected by the people, the man.
ner of filling vacancies is left to the dis
erection of the state legislatures, and, of
course. they have failed to act.

Sword Rafting.
FROM the New York Times.

The phrase attributed TO the German
emperor. II don't like Austria to rattle
my sword may be the invention of
Maximilian Harden or some other auda
cious journalist, but 1t hits the present
situation and throws light on some of
the events Of the last ten months. In =
way Austria has been allowed and en-
couraged to rattle the sword of Germany
ever since the Balkan war began and
even before, when she annexed Bosnia
and Herzegovina How true this is and
what effect IT has had en- the course OF
events can be seen by trying to imagine
what would have been the result had
Austria been allowed to rattle her own
sword only. She would either have been
laughed out of the futile operation or
she would have involved herself in very
periloUs complications.
