GOVERNOR sULzER IMPEAcHED.

The impeachment Of Governor Sulzer
in the New York legislature, and the
prompt presentation 10 the State Sen
ate of the articles of impeachment voted
by the House, brings to crisis the SEN
sationa political fight that has been
waging between Governor Sulzer and
Charles +. Murphy, Tammany chief,
The wonder in it all must be that Sui.
ger, knowing his vulnerability, and rec.
ognizing the makeup OF the legislature,
which, though Democratic, is hostile to
him, had the tomcrity to enter into his
fight with Murphy. 1t was not only
rash in him under the circumstances, to
bring on that open fight, 1t was sui
cidal; for Governor Sulzer could be per-
fectly sure in advance that whatever
there was assailable in his record Muir
ply would know of it, and would not
scruplc in the least to take advantage
of everything that he knew.
The successive public arraignmcnts of
Governor Sulzer began with the chal-
lenge Of his veracity and his good faith.
Then came the breach Of promise suit
against him evidently melted by Tam
many; then the fight between Sulzer
and the New York Senate: then the
damaging charges that Sulzcr had sworn
falsely as to his campaign receipts and
expenses, and finally the charge that
he had used campaign contributions that
came into his hands for the purpose of
private speculation in his personal be-
half in New York, and this when he
was openly pretending to fight the stock
exchange. All these made n succession
Of charges against Sulzer which ought
TO have been promptly met by the Gov.
ernor, but which were not so met As
to the final one of these charges, the
effort of Mrs. Sulzer to relieve the Gov
ernor by saying that she is the one who
took the money and speculated in New
York, is so incredible as to challenge
public credence, for how would she get
control of that campaign money! That
is the crucial question of all, and while
her veracity is not to be challenged, her
statement in no wise relieves Governor
Sulzer.
II is most unfortunate and lament
able outcome for the Governor. He is a
man who deserves better fate than TO
be left IN the hands Of his political
enemies under circumstances of such hu-
initiation and discouragoment.
The Senators before whom Governor
Sulzer will be tried on the articles of
impeachment are antagonistic to him !;
still, the membership of that body must
be given the benefit Of whatever doubt
may be entertained as to their good
faith in dealing with Governor Sulzer.
Yet, with politicians engaged in a saw
age fight, to expect lenity or consid~
GRAFTON for foe that is wounded and
down, is probably hopeless. The out
look is dark for New York IS Governor,

SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED.

The statement is made that members
of Congress are expressing surprise that
President Wilson should ask the con-
sent of Congress "to accept Gift
from a foreign power; and the com
ment is made that such consent "is
required by the constitution, which is
what makes the Congressman regard it
as peculiar.
Since, however, the gift referred to
is not from foreign power, and since
the constitution is absolutely silent as
10 the matter Of such gift as is pro.
posed, the cause for surprise is not
that Congressman should look upon the
President s request for the consent of
Congress TO receive that gift as pc.
culiar. but is that the President should
consider the consent Of Congress in any
way necessary or implied.
The gift referred to is that Of a
bust of Pitt, the great British Minister,
who assented TO the treaty OF Ghent,
whereby the success OF the American
Revolution was recognized and the
United States was established among
the nations as an Independent power.
The proposed gift is from an associa-
tion OF private individuals in Great
Britain. 1t has no official character
whatever; it is not a proposed gift of
any foreign power. and therefore Off
cialdom has nothing whatever TO do with
II. IF such an association desires To
present the United States, through the
President, "a gift such as this. there is
| no reason whatever why the President
