Ole important measure which APP
pears destined to failure of enactment
BY this congress is the one providing
for the conversion Of treasury notes
into post checks for transmission
through the mails. No serious objee-
ton has been made to the bill. Crit
icism has been mainly directed to de-
tails but it VIII die from neglect. Com
menting on the plan the Cleveland

obviously this plan has much to
commend it. If found practicable it
would be Of enormous benefit to far
mers and all persons accustomed to
sending in the mail amounts too small
to warrant the payment of the post
office money order fee or drawing a
check The schemes wonderful sim
plicity lies in the fact that the redeem
ed and Cancelled post checks can be
treated as mutilated currency and not
as vouchers. The 2-cent stamp attached
would it is claimed, pay for the orig
inal cost of the notes as well as fo<
the work of redeeming. oaneelng and
destroying them Under the present
system a vast amount of auditing is
necessary to keep straight the money
order accounts of the thousands of
postoffices. Much of this would be dis
pensed with. Neither would it be nee
essary to find storage room for millions
of small money orders which now have
to be held as vouchers until outlawed
by the statute of limitations. The bill
in question provides that all actions
for recovery on account of a post check
shall be barred after three months.

CHARGE OF P0LYGAMY.
Is Formally Filed Against Sena-

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Bur
rows, chairman Of the senate committee
on privileges and elections today pre-
scented to the senate a protest signed by
Rev. J. L. Leilish. in the case OF sena-
tor-elect Reed Smoot. of Utah, urging
that Mr.. Smoot shall not be permitted

ish is in charge of Methodist missions IN

Mr. Leilish declares that Smoot is
polygamist and now has a plural wife,
although he deems it inexoed1ent 10
give the maiden name of the lady at
this time. His charge on this point IS
as follows:
THAT the said Reed Smoot is po-
-lyga mist and that since the admission
of Utah into the union of states. he al
though then and there having a legal
wife, married a plural wife in the state
OF Utah. in violation Of the laws ana
cOmpacts herein before described and
since such plural or polyga1nous mar
riage the said Reed Smoot has lived and
cOhablted with both his le-aI wife and
his plural wife in Utah and elsewhere
as occasion offered. and that the only
record of such plural marriage is the
secret-record made and kept by the au-
thorities of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, which secret rec
ord is in the exclusive custody and con
quorum of the twelve apostles Of the
said church. Of which the said Reed
SmOot is one, and is beyond the control
or power of the professionals. Your pro-
testant respectfully asks that the SEN
ate Of the United States or its appro-
pirate committee compel the first presI-
dency and the quorum of the twelve
APOSTLES and the said Reed Smoot to
produce such secret record for the con-
sideration of the senate. Your protest.
ant says that he is advised by counsel
that it is inex3edient at this time to
give further particulars concerning such
plural marriage and its results. or the
place in which it was solemnized, or the
maiden name Of the plural wife"
Mr.. Leilish also asserts that President
Joseph Smith. the president Of the Nor
mon church, is living in open polygamy
and has a child born to him by his
plural wife" as late as 1898.
And also that President Lorenzo
Snow lived and died in the practice OF
polygamy and polygamous cohabitation,
and that his plural wife. Minnie Jensen
Snow, bore him a child as late as the
winter of 1S96-lS97' -
