If she thought he would be kind to

A NEST Of Corruption.

OF POLITICAL yILLAINY.
The Pension Bureau, under the skill
full management of Commissioner Dud-
ley, appears to have been a prolific
source of corruption and to have fur
nished the Republican party with no
small share of the sinews of war dur
ing the last Presidential campaign.
Every day the Congressional commit
tee investigating it unearthed fresh ma
teriM of a kind which should send some
of these enterprising officials, s o free
with the peoples money, to a place of
retirement as Government pensioners
iu striped suits, where they might have
ample time for reflection. The stats.
tician of this delectable bureau testi-
fed before the committee that when the
enterprising Dudley took charge, less
than four years ago, the running expen-
ses of the Office were about $500, 600 q
year, and that he contrived to get them
up to nearly $3.000.000 during the
year of the Presidential election. One
very convenient branch of this Repub-
lican supply Office wasthe Special. Elk
aminers' division which got away with
a million during the campaign. 1t was
not that the examiners had more legi.
innate work than usual connected with
their division, for the number of cases
disposed of was smaller than during
the previous yeara although there were
one hundred and fifty more examiners
The medical reviewer of the bureau
was obliged to go to Indiana just siz
weeks before the election, ostensibly
to instruct a few examining surgeons
but in reality to essay the surgica
operation Of cutting down the Demo
cratic majority, His labors came to al
end on election day, his surgery being
entirely at fault and the expense &C
count drawn upon in vain. No won

BY a long series Of experiments, q
Russian physician, DR.. Zulinski, has
proven that tobacco smoke is a distinct
poison, although its action upon men
is very slight unless inhaled In consid-
cradle quantities. He has found that
the poisonous property is not exclu-
sively due to the nicotine, for tobacco
smoke contains a second toxical princi-
pie called colidine, as well as carbcaic
oxide and h~ydrocyanic acid. The eff
fects depend largely upon the nature
Of the tobacco and the manner OF
smoking it. The most poison is deriv-
ed from the smoking of cigars, less
from cigarettes, still less from pipes,
and least of all from the use of nargiles
or any other apparatus in which the
smoke is passed through water. To-
bacco which has been ~artiicially light,
ened in color is, In DR.. Zulinski's opin.
ion, more dangerous than the darker
kinds.
