-HERE are only few more sleepiess
nights for Murphy. It is question:

taken which will decide the case Of one

other Impeachment trials-decision was

Will the vote be close?
Will one man-just one--decide IT.
President Andrew Johnson was saved
by one man. 1t was a denouement which
surprised millions The language of the
average sailor under stress becomes in
fantile and an@mic compared to the
drawing room conversation that followed
this one nomentous vote. The man who
cast this vote was a Republican-Senator
Edmund Gibson Ross. Of Kansas.
Perhaps there is no more interesting
case on record Of the punishment meted
out to a man who votes against the sys-
tenn that puts him in office
Is there any such heroic timber to-day
In the Legislature at Albany?
Ross paid the price. The man who was

81 am accustomed to think of Senator
Rosss vote In the Johnson trial as the
most heroic act in American history, in
comparably more difficult than any deed
of valor upon the field of battle. But
why il may be asked, was Ross's vote
more heroic than those OF the other six
Republicans who also voted for acquit-
tai? There would seem TO be some diff
ference. chiefly for two reasons. The
other men. especially Fessenden, Grimes
and Trumbull. had been longer in public
life were more accustomed to Its storm
and stress and better able to Withstand
Its pressure.
Second and more important, the press
ure brought to bear upon Mr.. Ross was
vastly greater than upon the other men.
His constituency was the most radical Of
all. and 1t was believed to the last that
he could be inundated. He therefore
cast his vote In the face Of the greatest
difficulties"
Senator Ross was charged with having
adopted this course from mercenary and
corrupt motives. but claimed he was gov
erned I'm his vote by his opinion that the
successful impeachment of President john
son would have been to declare the r'.sSi-
dent and the courts mere auxiliaries OF
Congress. and therefore a step toward
centrallzing power In that body.

that year the policy OF Congress was In
dorsed by large majorities. The conflict
became still more bitter, and was at last
brought to O crisis by the Presidents at
tempts to remove Stanton from office,
after the Senate had refused its approval.
The Republicans in Congress claimed that
Johnson had violated the tenure OF office
law, and on February "a, 1868, the House
Of Representatives passed resolution
impeaching him for high crimes and mis-
demeanor This is where Ross comes IN.
Let US take glance ut him and at the
scene IN Washington, himself the central
figure. With Grimes, Fessenden and
Trumbull outspoken for acquittal; with
Henderson despaired Of; with Van Wrinkle
and Wiley seesawing between guilty"
and mot guilty; with Fowler stubborny
non-committal, the full brunt OF the
struggle turned at last on the one re-
naming doubtful Senator-Edmund G..
Ross.
THE KANSAS SENATOR.
That Senator from Kansas and Re
publican should ever be a source Of APP
prehension 10 the radicals seemed like a
malignant stroke of fate. As Sumner
testified before the managers: at was a
very clear case, especially for Kansas

Mr.. Ross was born at Ashland, Ohio. on
December Z. 1926 At the age OF ten years
he began work In a printing office. where
he rose from the drudgery OF "devil' to
be journeyman, foreman and publisher.
The printing Office was his only school;
his journeyman's certificate his only
diploma.
In 1SiT he went TO Wisconsin, where he
"ramped" as a journeyman printer,
sleeping outdoors in the woods when with
out funds. The slavery excitement of the
early ffties found the young printer fore
man OF Job Office In Milwaukee.
OF New England Puritan ancestry and
Northern Ohio birth, he was naturally an
intense Abolitionist. The formation Of
the young Republican party at Ripon.
Wis, therefore appealed to him with rare
force. He soon after took an active part
In bringing about a meeting at Milwaukee
for tho organization of the new party at
that place. He shortly removed to Kan

UNSUCCESSFUL VENTURES.

Upon his retirement, in 1871, the ex-Sena-
tor made several successive newspaper
ventures In Kansas, all OF which proved
failures. and but short time sufiiced to
find him again eking out a precarious
existence ''at the case" as In his early
manhood. In 1882 he removed to Albuquer-
que, n. NJ. and shortly afterward became
foreman Of the job department Of one OF
the local newspapers, where he remained
for the next three vars.
Smarting under the fierce denunciation
levelled at him by his party organs. lead
ers and conventions. Mr.. Ross made the
mistake Of Joining the Democratic party
with which he In reality had no sympathy
But the act was rewarded In 1885, when
President Cleveland sought partially to
repay him for his services and sacrifices
seventeen years before by making him
Governor OF New Mexico. The salary was
$500 year.

FLY PREVENTION RULES.

"An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure" This
is the time to use all means for
the prevention of the spread of
flies. Begin early and then keep
everlastingiy at it. The vigiIant
fly will use every opportunity
that he gets-remember that.
Here are several "don'ts" that
will aid in fighting the fly:
Don't dine at a hotel or res
taurant where flies are tolerated.
Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't permit them near your
food, especially milk.
Don't buy food where flies are
permitted.
Don't allow them in a sick
room.
Dent allow them to crawl over
} the baby or the nipple of it's
nursing bottle.
Screen every window and door
in your house and keep it up
until you start your furnace.
Have separate screen covers
over all exp oso5 food.
