Scientific experiments are in progress which
seek to utilize tobacco smoke as a disinfectant.
Youthful cigarette smokers are astonshed and
enthusiastic at the supposed vindication of
tobacco in the discovery that it will destroy the
microbes of various diseases, and may be after
all Of some practical use in the world. There
is nothing very surprising, however, in the
fact that the poison of tobacco will kill little
thing like microbe, when it has been known
to destroy human tissues and weaken or kill
full-grown men, to say nothing Of its effect
upon the lower orders Of humanity in powers
of physical resistance, such as cigarette-smok-
ing boys.

There is another senatorial deadlock. The
caucus nomination Of Washburn in Minnesota
is threatened with defeat by bolt Of the men
who supported Senator Sabin. There are IS
of them, and with ~ democratic votes thew
can elect their man. While it took 62 votes to
nominate in caucus ii requires rs to elect in
the legislature. and if the Sabin men hold out
Washburn cannot get that many votes. His
adherents set the example in 1875 by boiling
the caucus nomination Of Senator Ramsey
which the Sabin men now claim as a precious
precedent. Meanwhile, the legislature refuses
to go into an election Of Senator until the
charges Of bribery by Mr.. Washburn are fully
Investigated and met

The report that England and the United
States will act together in opposition to Ger
many in the Samoan controversy is significant.
The impression has prevailed that England, in
pursuance of an understanding with Germany,
secretly countenanced German aggression in
Samoa, in order to enjoy the privilege of nom
interference by Germany in her own efforts to
secure control of certain other Pacific islands.
II England and the United States are now to
work together in Samoa the Morier incident
has probably had an influence in altering the
relations of the parties to the controversy.
Bismarck shows signs of age in the weakening
of control over his temper, and recent hasty
Weddings to the promptings of petulance and
petty spite have exposed him to the most Sc
rious public notifications Of his career. The
collapse of the ill-sdvised prosecution Of Prof
Geffcken for the publication Of the late en-
peror's diary and the compulsory withdrawal of
the charges against Morier are cases in point.
Disregarding the restraints which the caution
Of diplomat imposes, he has exposed to the
world his ill-will toward England and the En-
glish, and has done SO in such laundering
manner that he has been compelled to follow
his acts by half apology, delivered with very
bad grace. At a time when Germany needs
friends and allies he has permitted his per-
sonal spite to convert England into an enemy.
and by his management Of German affairs in
Samoa he bids fair to destroy the friendly feel
ings of the United States

Now both House and Senate have expressed
their ideas Of tariff reform. They differ radi-
cally-beyond all hope Of agreement or recon-
Citation in conference. The Allison bill has
attempted to reduce the tariff in line with the
principles of the republican party. The fede-
raj tax on tobacco is removed and that on
sugar reduced. Beyond the proposition to
give bounties to sugar producers there is no
feature Of the measure that introduces new or
uncertain party doctrine. In the main the
Senate majority has produced bill that
equalizes and moderately reduces the tariff.
Precisely what effect it would have If passed,
In diminishing the surplus, cannot be now stated.
The reference of the Senate bill when breaches
the House will be regular and fatal 1t win go
to the ways and means committee never to re-
appear. The reactionary suggestion to refer
1t to Mr. Randalrs committee has not met with
support enough to justify such a violent pro-
ceeding. The Senate bill can only slumber
through the last weeks OF the session and
await the organization of a new Congress to
decide its fate. With a majority in the House
elected on the issue Of protection there should
be no doubt of the ultimate success Of a meas
ure substantially on the lines Of the Allison bill
1t is only probable expectation that the Sem
ate yesterday adopted what is to be the tariff
of the country for the next four or five years.

The Senate committee increases the amount
Of the District appropriation bill, as is Gus
tomary in the handling Of this measure by
Congress. If its figures were adopted the I'M
expended surplus of the District revenues for
the year would be million dollars less than if
the House appropriation should prevail. In
other words, Congress would come nearer, by
a million dollars, to expanding upon the pres
ent capital the money raised for it during the
year by District taxpayers, including the United
States. The conference committees figures,
which are the controlling ones, will doubtless
be q compromise between the appropriations
proposed by the Senate and House. respect
lively, and some substantial amount will prob
ably be added to the Districts growing surplus,
over the disposition of which there has been
so much wrangling. Among the Senate in
creases which commend themselves to the
public may be especially noted that of $1,000
in the appropriation for permit work, under
which head the work of repairing the city's
dilapidated sidewalks must be conducted.
