COLORADO NEEDS SELF CONTROL

Colorado has reached situation which demands a reconstruction of its state government. Conditions there have been revealed by the coal mine strike which demands a houseclean- ing, thorough and immediate. It faces situation which cannot be neglected and which cannot be turned over to the government to handle indefinitely. Order has been restored there through the regular troops, but such is what should have been possible to obtain by the state militia and the quicker this is realized and the state put on basis to obtain 1t the brighter will be the outlook for the future.
 There is no reason to suspect that the regulars will be withdrawn and the former conditions allowed to re- turn. but 1t would be assuring to state and government if the proper efforts were being made to handle the situa- ton. Whatever time is required for obtaining needed legislation there must be the right disposition and honest intent without regard to politics. In view of the efforts to restrain or break down remedial legislation it is but nat ural that the president should rebuke Co1orado's governor for the dilatory tactics which are being pursued. The strongest encouragement should be given to getting the state back to its normal condition. It is not a time for the making of a political deal, but to follow a middle of the road policy for the maintenance of peace and or der, and putting the state in a posi : ton to do so even after the federal soldiers have been taken away. The state should realize its great need for self control.

Eats Freely But
 Has No Dyspepsia
A Little Pepsin in a Mild Laxa. tive Promptly Corrected
 . Bad Indigestion.

Fortunate is the one who can eat anything without suffering the tor lures of dyspepsia, but as few are so fortunate care should be taken iD the matter of diet. Eating slowly, masti- eating the food thoroughly and taking a short walk after the heavy meal of the day will do much towards assisting digestion. Any grown-up person ought to know the peculiar foods that do not agree, and these should be avoided.
 When these conunon-sense aids fail the next thing to do is to take a mild digestive tonic with laxative properties and there is none better than Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. It contains the greatest of all aids to digestion, good pepsin. It has other ingredients that act mildly on the bowels, which to- gether form a combination for the re- lief of dyspepsia or indigestion that is unsurpassed.
 It's action is to tone and strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles so that they can again do their work naturally without outside aid, and when that happy moment comes all medicine can be dispensed with. It is the best rem edy obtainable for any disorder of the stomach. liver and bowels. for dyspep- sta, constipation, biliousness, head aches, drowsiness after eating, gas on the stomach. etc. Thousands of users will testify to this, among them MT.

FAMOUS TRIALS
PMPEAcHM ENT TRIAL OF AN
 DREW JOHNSON.

The trial in which an attempt was made to impeach the seventeenth president of the United States, An drew Johnson, was the continuation of legislative branches of the govern ment of the United States over the problem of what came to be called re- construction.
 At an early period of the civil war, in portions of certain insurgent states. which were swept clear of the enemy and contained an appreciable number of adherents to the cause of the union, frameworks of government were set ID and were recognized as such by the authorities at Washington.
 On May 29, 1885, President Johnson issued proclamation giving the terms whereby the people of the southern states could be restored to their civil rights as citizens of the United States. It was soon seen that the president was disposed to be exceedingly lenient and liberal toward the states and cit izens who had been in rebellion.
 Much dissatisfaction was found with the president during the summer of that year and when congress reas- sembled in December he was asked by the senate to furnish information as to what he had been doing toward re- construction. His information was unsatisfactory and things drifted on until the spring of 1866, a year after Johnson became president, when a bitter controversy arose between the president and congress. Members of his cabinet began to resign because they could not sustain the president
 In this crisis of his political life MT. Johnson exhibited a want of spirit and decision which astonished those who were familiar with his antecedents, Finally, charges were brought against him the gist of which was that he had violated a law of congress by remov-

It puts up to the med .a- tors the question which has long bee Ii asked and thought over. After Huer- ta, WhatT Huerta is practically in a helpless position and fast slipping. The rebels are in the asccndency, with q record of improved government where they are in control, and good prospects of early capture of the cap ital and control of the republic. Thus on the matter of concessions Hue-ta and tho rebels stand at diametrically opposite points. The former Is willing to give what he must socn lose, while the rebels can hardly be expected to sacrfdcs what they are sure to con- trol The big deal must be with the rebels to affect the futur. of Mexico.

 In the articles of impeachment there were other charges against the presi- dent, the most serious of which were ffammatory speeches, which were in tended to bring into contempt the congress of the United States and duly enacted laws. His private con- scrutinized. Men. were employed to investigate his public and private character in Tennessee, but nothing was found to his discredit
 The formal presentment. by the housf of representatives of it's impeachment against the president, at the bar ot the senate, sitting as court Of im- peachment, was made on the 5th of May. 1868. The answer of the presi- dent was presented on the 23d- thf trial opened on Mdnday the 30th ot March, and closed on the 26th of Nav following.
 The trial was a very interesting one not only to the people of the United States, but to the people of other countries. The presiding officer wax the chief justice of the Supreme court
 Salmon P Chase. The counsel for the president consisted of Henry Stan berry, Benjamin R. Curtis. William :: Groesbeck. William NJ. Evarts and
 Thomas AR Nelson. The senatora of the various states were the jury.
 The managers to conduct the impeach- ment for the house were John A
 Bingham, George s. Boutwell,, James F. Wilson. Benjamin F. Butlert Thomas Williams, Thaddeus Stevens and John A. Logan.
 The result of the trial was fail- ure of the impeachment The sena- tors who voted guilty were thirty-hve ve fin nuunber-being less than two-thirds of the whole-against nineteen or those who voted against impeachment seven were republicans. The opinion
 of James G. Blaine in his Twenty Years in Congress- is that the sober reflection of later years has persuad- = ed many who favored impeachment that it was not justifiable on the charges made" and that the president was inpeached for one series Of mis- demeanors and tried for another.

BATHING AND sWlMMlNc.

The season is fast approaching when there is bound to be more or less bath ing and swimming and under the proper conditions it is to be encour- aged for two reasons. 1t IS in the first place an excellent exercise and sec- ondly everyone should know how to swim for his own protection.
 Wherever it is attempted, whether at the shore, in river, lake or tho cid swimmin' hole, it should be accom- panied by the necessary precautions to insure safety both as to life and as to health. While the danger from drowning is always to be we'll guarded there is the danger from the bathing in polluted water which fails to get as much thought perhaps as it should. Public Health Reports call attention to the fact that few people bathe without getting some water into their mouths; consequently bathing should be allowed only where the water is approximately as good as drinking wa ter. Typhoid fever has undoubtedly been contracted in this way"
 It is undoubtedly a fact that too little attention is given to bathing in streams which are highly polluted and when it is realized what is dump ed into the rivers in this city it can be readily understood what chances are taken by those who heedlessly batf1e in them. The recent survey of the city in the interests of playgrounds resulted in attention being called by Mr North to the fact that Norwich is peculiarly bereft of good oppor- tunities for swimming-one of the best forms of exercise that exists" and that the Y. M. c. A. had at times super vised swimming at the park where but little increase in it's popularity would secure permanent master from June 15 to Sept. 15. Swimming is a good thing to encourage. but 1t is well to keep the safety sign always in min l.
