Assistant Secretary Smith, OF the treas
ury department., to the surprise OF every
oil no
least as long as the present administration
is in power, resigned his office and left for

for the manitoba, road, which lie accepted
some time ago. Mr.. Smith, in explanation
of this change, says that he has come to
the conclusion that a man Of his age
without any money has no business
in politics. and that While he has
enjoyed his position in the treasury de-
partment, he could not afford to decline so
tempting an opportunity to go west and
grow up with the country. The salary he
is to have is more than double what he re-
ceives from the government, and the op-
portunity for advancement is nothing here.
MIR. Smith is q very young man to occupy
the position he has been holding, us he is
only q little more than 3Oyears OF age; but
he has had considerable experience, and
had developed an executive ability which
caused him to be chosen by Mr.. Manning
as the executive officer Of the treasury.
Since he has been here he has made himself
popular and respected and although he has
endeavored to override the restrictions Of
the civil service reform law, that was what
he was selected for. He is a tail, finc-look-
ing man, with sandy hair and moustache,
and looks ten years older than he really is.
