and upon a statement of his accounts by
the proper officers of the treasury there
was shown to be deficit of $4,000 In a
suit upon his official bond the defense was
that the $4,000 of treasury notes was
placed by him in a tin box in the steel
vault provided by the government for the
safe keeping of public funds in his GUS
tody, and that the notes while in the box
were charred, burned and destroyed by
fire that occurred In the vault without any
negligence on his part his agents en-
ployes. 1t was held by the Supreme Court
of the United States that this was no de-
tense. nor could the plea avail that the

formed no additional work but was maid

In other words the government was made
to pay itself"
Postmaster General Payne said to-day
that he had not communicated with form
er First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath, but that he thought he would do
so later on. In connection with the charges
OF violations OF the civil-service law Mr.
Payne called attention TO the appropriation
of 100000 made by Congress in March. 1899
as well as several smaller appropriations
for the same purpose in 1895 and 1899 Rv
their terms he said the expenditure OF the
appropriation for mail service of various
kinds necessitated by the ACQUISITION of In
sular possessions was vested in the dis
erection of the postmaster general without
regard to the civil-seryice law
Postmaster General Payne also said the
investigation at some of the postoffices had
been completed. instancing Milwaukee,
where, he said. the accounts had been found
TO be correct. He said that Controller
Tracewell has personally investigated the
accounts of the New York postoffice and
the postmaster general added that he un-
de-stands the accounts were found to be
straight and In proper shape. The postcfIice
inspectors have finished the investigation Of
the Washington postofflce and the Civil
service Commission experts to-day were
finishing their examination of the Office by
taking testimony of clerks appointed at
outside postoffice who are transferred
through the Washington Postoffice Depart
ment. Referring 10 the responsibility of
subordinates in official matters the post
master general said that the subordinate
officials will be held responsible for their
acts and should not obey an order
that was not law; that an unlawful order
was no order at all, so far as the necessity
of a subordinate executing IL was con-
cerned.

In a public address made recently a New
England medical man presented arguments
to show that the systematic prevention Of
infection might lead to the ultimate injury
of the human race by encouraging the sur
vival of the unfit. The principle of natural
selection, he said, tends to eliminate the
inferior elements in human species and to
result in racial improvement, while the
work of the physician and surgeon in curing
disease and that of the sanitary official in
preventing it serve to preserve those who
are least fitted to survive. This problem.
he urged, should be considered seriously,
and if the evidence shows overwhelmingly
that the work of the medical profession as
done to-day will cause ultimate deteriora-
ton of the race it should be frankly adj
mitted. But suppose 1t is frankly admitted,
what then? Shall the physician and sur
geon withhold their services from all who,
in their opinion, are not worth saving, and
shall the sanitary officer have no duties
save in districts where the robust abide?
Shall we return to primitive conditions and
permit the law of natural selection to have
it's own unhindered way? Hardly. Scientific
gentlemen who like to hear themselves talk
may find harmless enjoyment in discussing
theories and possibilities-but let the patient
offer himself and they will make haste to
use all their skill for his benefit, even
though he be obviously cumberer of the
ground. His fees are as good as any mans
in helping to insure the survival of the
medical man.

Office Department and the Washington
city postofice include some matters about
which. as a mere employee of the Washing
ton city postoffice. he could not possibly
have had any personal knowledge. One or
these relates to Hon. Robert ]. Tracewell.
controller of the treasury, who, Tulloch
says, called off and discontinued an inves-
tigation OF the accounts of the Washing
ton city Office under circumstances that
indicated he was being dictated to. Tul-
loch pretends to give the exact words OF
an order of the controller to the investi-
eating clerk, and says: subsequently the
clerk was removed" insinuating that he
was removed because he had discovered
too much. In as far as this is intended to
question the propriety of any official act
Of Controller Tracewell or reflect upon
his integrity it is not entitled to a mo-
ment's credence. The Office of controller
OF the treasury is the highest accounting
office in the government, and no other in
cumbent of the Office has ever established
such a reputation for absolute independ-
ence and fearless honesty as Judge Trace
well has. In this State, where he Is wide
ly known, no person can be found who will
believe anything to his discredit.

Ohio is about to celebrate the centennial
of her admission to the Union, in May. 1903.
She will be the first State to celebrate it's
centennial in this century, but she may be
followed by many others. Twenty-Five
States were admitted to the Union during
the nineteenth century. beginning with
Ohio, in 1903, and ending with Utah, in
1896. Seven States We're admitted during
the twenty years following the admission
of Ohio--Louisiana in 1872, Indiana in 1916,
Mississippi in 1917, Illinois in 1918, Alabama
in 1919, Maine in 1920 and Missouri in 1921.
Indiana will be the next Northern State
after Ohio to have a centennial, and she
will doubtless celebrate it in good style.

AS in all other cases of conflicting inter-
crossing question. That it is a serious
evil and should be abated or minimized is
certain, but the railroads are entitled to
be heard also. The proposition to require
all trains to come to full stop before cross
ing a street-railroad track seems unreas-
enable. A good system of safety gates and
watchmen would answer until something
better can be had. There would be no con-
sistency in limiting railroad trains to a
speed of four miles an hour within the city
limits when electric cars are allowed to run
twice or three times as fast.
