VIII Be Tried IN Senate.

Jesse Edglngton and 2. Newton Bs-
ties stand impeached before the bar OF
the senate OF Tennessee.
The house of representatives, sit
ting at the grand inquest, resolved by
a vote which crushed as it swept along,
that the Judge OF Shelby countys
criminal court and the attorney-gen'
eral thereof, must answer In the high
court Of impeachment to the charges
which have been lodged against
them.
Just before the general assembly ad-
journed sine die, the senate fixed April
"a as the date upon which 1t will re-
convene as the high court of impeach-
ment to sit in judgment upon the Off
cial conduct of Jesse Edgington and
z. Newton Estes.
The Elgington case will be tried
first.
Both Edgington and Estes mus file
their answers to the articles OF i'm
parchment exhibited against them by
April "a, and then and there they must
appear before the bar OF the high court
and submit themselves to Its high juris-
diction. The court at that time will de-
termine for itself when the Esteo case
will be taken up.
No sooner had this order been made
the action of the senate than Chief Jus.
tice of the Supreme Court NJ. M. Nell
was formally informed, by resolution,
that the court would ST at high noon
>r.--S fir "a ta6u fhaf hew@ called
upon to preside over its deliberations,
according to the constitution Of the
state and the laws made and provided.
Senator Alternately of McNairy is
chairman Of committee which mean
while win prepare rules for conducting
the court.
The proceedings in the senate were
undoubtedly the most august that q
generation of Tennessee has ever
known. Men Of high renown, of wealth
and fame, have often halted before the
bar Of Tennessee courts, charged with
crimes and misdemeanors against the
law OF the land.
Judge Edgington and Gen. Estes
stood before the bar of the highest and
grayest court known to the law, charg-
ed. not with crimes against the law,
but with high crimes and misdemean-
ors against the people of Tennessee.
As one sat there and saw the great
machinery Of an impeachment proceed
Ing slowly but gradually moving on.
only history could prompt the reflec-
lions which followed one after another.
Men and women, drawn hither by
the strangeness of the occasion, were
in the galleries. On the floor Of the
senate the curious waited.
Eighty-six representatives sat in
their seats as the roll was called.
Eighty-six representatives raised their
voices against Judge Edgington In a
symphony Of public condemnation. Not
one but believed that the charges
against him demanded an answer at
the bar of the senate.
Eghty-five of these representatives
Joined in the condemnation of Mr.. Els.
ties. One representative, Mr.. Strauss
Of Shelby, voted for him.
The managers Of the impeachment
trial appointed by the house are:
Edgington-Clyde Shropshire Of Da
wilson, r. A. Ashley OF Dyer and e. e
Cresswell of Sewer.
Estes-Louis Elkins Of Gibson
Hoyle Stewart of Cannon and L. A

Reasons to Hope for Peace

Z VEN the most optimistic have hardly
L. dared hope that Germany would yield to
the American demand, expressed in President
Wilson's virtual ultimatum to Berlin Sever
ance OF diplomatic relations following the
Kaser's refusal to be bound by the rules Of
war and the dictates of humanity, has been
apprehended, if not expected. AS time goes
on however, certain developments indicate
or seem to indicate. that settlement may yet
be effected with Germany and that this coun-
try may he permitted to remain the one great
friend Of all the world.
% begin with, the failure Of the German
press to publish the text OF the American
note immediately OH its receipt suggests that
the imperial government was not certain Of
the course to he pursued, and hence UNI
willing for the people to be Informed OF the
extent and firmness of the American demands.
1t appears certain, too. that Austria has
eXerted every influence to prevent rupture
between the central powers and this nation,
and while Wlhelmstrasse is the final au-
thority. beyond which there is no appeal, it
is likely that even Wilhelmstrasse hearkens
to. and may heed. Austria'S decided opinion
on SO vital question.
Publications in well-nformed German
newspapers within the last few days also
strengthen the hope that. Germany will yield.
substantially at least. A statement to the
effect that Germany's strength and prestige
have increased vastly that the German
government can afford to make certain con-
cessions, printed i'll so important paper as
the Lokal Anzeiger. is significant Again,
an explanation that President Wilson did not
insist on abandonment by Germany of sub
marine warfare altogether, hut only OF her
policy Of frightfulness manifested by her
attacks on peaceful ships published in another
influential paper might be taken rs a means
of preparing the German people for sub
stantial concessions.
Most notable Of ALL perhaps. is an utter
ance by Macmillan Harden. the most distin-
guished of German editors, in Die Zukunft, in
the form of an imaginary message from Presi-
dent Wilson Quotations from this decara-
ton, published in The Times Dispatch yes
terday. show that Harden sustained the
American position on every count. While
he has been imprisoned from time to time
Macmillan Harden is admittedly the strong
est influence in Germany, outside the govern
ment. and his defense has properly been de-
scribed bombshell
Dispatc hes from Ambassador Gerard are
said 20 be encouraging, in that they indicate
more reasonable frame Of mind on the part
Of the German government and what seems
to he a Willingness to consider the justice of
the American attitude. Altogether. while IL
is too early for anything more than hone
there now seems to he more reason for hone
than at any time since the dispatch of the
Presidents note.
