ANDERSON'S COMPLAINT. The Democratic majority which is ruthlessly repressing the Hon. Pidney Anderson of Minnesota and, by de priving the first Minnesota district of his invaluable services in tariff re forming causing him deep concern doubtless understand his position, but have scant sympathy far him. VI is cries are too thoroughly suggestive of the instirging under that redoubtable autocrat and reactionary. Joe Cannon, before that gentleman was returned to his home and friends in Danville. Mr. Anderson has some appreciation of the poetic justice of the situation. He says: For a period after the civil war the south was without representation in the national legislature. The result was the passage of an unwise and op pressive legislation affecting the sou'.h. This great section of the country still labors under the ill results of the leg islation of that period. Today the situation has been re versed. The south is in tho saddle, legislatively; while the north, so far as practical participation in the mik ing of legislation is concerned, is prac tically disfranchised. As the disgruntled Minnesota states man well understands, however, one does not have te go hack to recon struction days to find a parallel to the condition of his constituents. It was a precisely similar situation which caused such heartfelt and lurid denunciation of P.epublican speakers bv southern and other Democrats from the days of Reed. This agitation finally forced a change in house rules, but the only result was to transfer power from the speaker to a majority of a committee. And so long as majority rule is as hard and fast in the house and the dispatch of business would seem to be impossible otherwise so long will the minority have a grievance. Most of the downtrodden nurse their wrath until time may bring revenge. Mr. Anderson should take counsel of his Democratic associates who often howled when "disfranchised," but never went so far as to throw away good committee memberships. As for the caucus, its iniquities largely de pend on whose caucus it is. The Dem ocratic caucus probably has been about as broad-minded as the Repub lican caucus. THE TRStOTINKTL. It is gratifying to know that the re cent receivership proceedings against the Transcontinental had no such ominous significance as has been given them. The Charlotte Observer reads a letter from Co' R. A. Jones to mean that the company will be reorganized and the line built as planned. Says the Observer: Colonel Jones writes In appreciation of un editorial In the Observer of a few days hgo and takes occasion to outline his plans for the future these plans looking to the prosecution of the work of constructing the Trans continental along the original lines. He is not discouraged by the recent reverses the death of the chief en gineer snd the appointment of a re ceiver for the company. This latter proceeding was of mutual understand ing with a view to putting the com pany on a new basis. The receiver ship course was adopted fur honest protection. The Western Carolina Enterprise, which as a Waynesvllla paper ought to know something of the facts, also Is confident that th Transcontinental project Is In no danger: Those who are exulting over the supposed death of the Transcontinen tal may have to chance their tune In the Immediate future. To the thought , ful the noise this road Is making sounds strangely like a dollar. On the surface It. looks' a bit stormy to see the officials of this road bring ing suits against the construction com pany; but those who know how rail roads are organised and built recog- nige Ihls sa a stop towards hard cash. . . . Tho folks who are bringing these suits don't seem to he very mad. This niost promising method Of Solv ing the Plate's rats difficulties la ap parently In no danger of abandonment nd It Is to be honed Colonel Jones will succeed In his effort t reorgani zation (.ml n.iottructlon. THE POWER OF IMPEACHMENT j The holding of a New York Supreme . court Itifttifa that Onvpmnr SiilKAr v legally impeached and that Impeach ment automatically stripped him of j the powers of office pending trial, J while confidently expected, was a se- j vere blow to the Sulzer interests which , had voluminously contended otherwise as they went up and down the State ! endeavoring to manufacture a sent! i ment which would make his convic- j tion before a court of impeachment impossible. That Impeachment de prives tho accused official of his pow ers until acquittal scarcely needed ar gument. The remarks of Justice Has- brouk about impeachment, however, are interesting: ' The subject of Impeachment, like the power of a legislative body to punish for contempt, has a different character from subjects requiring the action of both branches of the legisla ture and of the governor, in order that laws may be enacted ... Having no power In the premises an acting governor could not call the assembly into session for the purpose ; of impeaching an absent governor. Neither is the assembly shorn of its ' impeaching power by the summons of j the legislature in extraordinary ses ! sion The measure of the power of our rulers in the assembly as respects the governor is that it may impeach him. Once impeached, that function end.'-. What time during its yearly oftice, .he constitution does not specify. Thi as sembly is the assembly, whether in regular or extraordinary session, or whether self-convened. It is the sole impeaching functionary, and in Hs exercise of power it Is beyond the lot or hindrance of the executive or he courts. It is the executive and final judge of the occasion or time it shall select to impeach, and of the jets of the governor it may specify as grounds for impeachment. Whether the anti-Sulzer forces can remove the Governor under the ar ticles of impeachment preferred is an other matter. There seems to be doubt whether the governor's misconduct comes within the scope of such pro ceedings. Only Mr. Gaynor's extraordinary personality can explain the attention which his death has attracted in two continents; his political achievements. considerable as they were, do not ac count for it. Mr. Gaynor was an es sentially human man, and he never thought it worth while to adopt a 1 1 se. Mr. Krayn appears uncertain whether he is lecturing for money or for educational purposes. Why doesn't he says, with "Angel George," that l.e lectures to make the country a bet ter place for his children to live in, and let it go at that? Tho Morgan firm declines to lend money to Huerta because such loan would be antagonistic to the Wilson policies. A rare combination of pa triotism and prudence. r id DEGENERATE DAYS "Our writers are a sickly lot the best Is but a ham; we have no novel tists like Scott, no humorists like Lamb; no noble poets strike their lyres, producing sonnets fine; our poets write of rubber tires and draw ten cents a line." This sort of thing haa oft been said. In print It oft ap pears; until a writer has been dead from ten to fifty years, he can't expect to wear a wreath, and keep the same on straight; but when he lies the sod beneath, we find that he was great. And when the living lot of scribes have met their divers dooms, the world will send admiring tribes to weep around thelrt ombs. The gray beard, in the years to come, will cry: "What rotten books! Our modern scribes are on the bum, and worse than that, gadzooks! AH bleak and barren Is the soil that once produced great men. We have none now like Conan Doyle, that giant of the pen. Where is the peer of William Locke, whose worshiper I am, whose keen and sprightly line of talk outdistanced Charlie Lamb? Today we have no gif ted pote, there Is no golden tongue; who writes such verse as Markham wrote, or Rudyard Kipling sprung?" If we have laurel wreaths to give It's best, so help me John, to give them to the ones who live, and let the dead sleep on MM. Kit, Oiniti Suit ,ws MISS BIRD IS COMING; MR. HUtt MAY ALSO General Secretary of State Union Will Attend Bara-ca-Philathea Conference.

Mr. Hudson states that If his physician will allow of his making the trip he will be more than glad to at tend.
