PURELY A LOCAL ISSUE.
There arc Democrats In wIhiiii
certain schedules of Ili«* tarilT
seem sacred, so many of them
thai when Mr. Underwood sounds
Ihc bugle for tlic advance upon
the duties I he parly will inarch
not exactly shoulder to shoulder
iu solid formation; there will be
gaps.
It was announced some days
ago (hat the Democratic con
4jressmen-elccl from Massachu
setts would ii<*1 vole for a remov
al of the duly of leu per con I.
upon boots and shoes. This de
fection would not he very ser
ious. The Democrat ic majority
in I he house is so large that Mr.
Underwood can stand I he loss.
Mill il is much more serious when
Xcnators-elccl Shafrolh and
Thomas, of ('olorado, announce |
-their opposition to any consider-j
-able reduction of the duties on j
sugar and ores; and when Sen-]
a tors Overman and Simmons, of 1
ffortli Carolina, profess such a :
"tenderness for the cotton-spin-1
fling industry of that slate (hat
lhey could not consent lu see it
"unduly threatened hy low (arid*
duties." Mi»reover. Senator Stone, j
*>f Missouri, who is dyed-iu-lhe- •
•*rool Democrat if ever there was j
one, is getting uneasy about Ihej
..duties on lead and /.inc. Jop
i3in is in Senator Si one's stal e,'
e^id whenever the zinc duty is!
threatened Jopliu heroines vocif- J
tmus. In the.loplin mining reg-j
ion lhey have already gone down j
so deep (hat the cost of produc-'
-ing zinc would make any sale of ;
il. impoHMhlc ImiI for the bouuly '
which (he propb; are forced to 1

IMPEACHING A JUDGE.
Onlv once lie Torn in forly years
lias III.' I'lliteil Stales Senate been
called to hear iiupeachmenl
charge* against a .judge of the
I'ederal court. The Senate, some
veiirs ago, ncipiilei| .Indue Swavuc
of Florida.
Ill I lie preseul case, lloliOI'l \V.
Archhuld, associate .justice oflhe
('oiniiierce emirl. is charged with

lousiness coiineclions with certain
culm hanks in Pennsylvania, I lie
value of which would he mater
ially afTeclcd hy his decision in
litigation I hen before him. II ix
bench has been charged with di
rect financial interest in litiga
tion before him.
The rarity of such cases is a
credit to the judiciary. In tho en.
tire history of the country only
eight impeachment cases have
been brought by the house. Un
der the constitution, a two-thirds
vole of the Senate is required to
sustain the impeachment charges.
Automobilists are not the on
ly ones who go the pace without
knowing when to stop.
II is never too much trouble
for some people to look for il.
