THE END OF THE CASE.

The 81. Louis Globe Democrat OF
March 10 contained the following edl-
torIal on what that paper regards as
the end Of the case against Senator
Smoot. As It reflects the views OF
many prominent papers on this sub
feet we give it place in our columns;
"The decision OF the Senate commit
tee on privileges and elections TO post
pona action on the case OF Reed Smoot
nrt the regular session next winter
means that the matter has been drop
ned. When the Senate meets next De-
cember the affair will have been FOR
gotten. II was noticed that Mr.. Smoot
vas seated the other day without any
question. Some of his accusers were
In Washington at the time, but the
matter was not brought up. All the pa
pers in the case were submitted, 1t was
said, to the committee on privileges ana
elections and that body was TO make a
report some time in the extra session.
evidently, however, the committee
has found nothing to report on, ana,
therefore, tire case goes over until next
winter. This is a polite way OF bury
ing Il altogether. Long before next De-
cember comes everybody VIII have for
gotten all about the accusations which
were brought against the senator ex-
ccpt the cuterie Of mischief makers who
formulated them. The committee viii
say nothing about the matter. 1t viii
have something else to occupy its time
besides listening 10 a cabal Of zeaots
who want to establish a religious test
for Office holding. and who, II they
should succeed In this endeavor, would
create the same sort OF a test Tor yot-
ing.
but the Senate win not crafty chose
bigots The solitary parsonage who
made the charge OF polygamy against
the senator was frowned down by the
Utah clique which has been working
against the senator. They knew that
the poygamy accusation was baseless,
and I'm order 10 save themselves from
ridicule they induced the accuser to
drop II. The only ground Of opposition
70 the senator Is that he Is a promi-
nent member OF a Church to which
they are hostile, II Is needless TO say
that this attack on Mr., Smoot viii not
bother him or take up any Of the Sem
ate's time. Some OF the senator's po-
lltlcal rivals are SUSPECTED Of being In
the game to hamper him, with the hope
or getting his place, should he be un-
seated. As there IS not the faintest
chance that the Senate viii do anything
In the matter In any way, their per-
nIcious activity Is calculated to throw
discredt on them without affecting he
man It has been directed against The
Know Nothlnsism OF 1S54-57 can not be
revived In 1903"

U. S. CURRENCY.

Some time ago an employee Of a rail-
road found a 81 900 bill in car, and
the incident has attracted much at
tention. To the question, How many
such bills are there In existence? the
Boston Herald gives the following re-
ply:
According TO the tables prepared by
the United States treasury. there We're
outstanding on Jan. 81, 1903, United
States notes Of the value Of 81, OO0 each
TO the amount of S26O35. 600. or the
treasury notes Of 1890, s5640OO was out
standing in 81 600 bills $4,000 was out
standing in national bank notes In such
bills; SAC. 1885, 800 In gold certificates, and
$4,000 in silver certificates, making
the grand total S7S5l5,500, which would
seem TO prove that there are out
standing, according TO the treasury es-
L mates on Jan, 81 last, 135l5h $1,000
bills"
We are further told that the greatest
amount OF our paper money is in $40
bills, which foot up 10 0.556,s92 Then
come s. bills, amounting to sSl9 99l 2Oi.
with $50 bills third, footing up S3S6,5Sl,-
56S.
IN the other hand beyond the thous-
and-dollar limit there is practically
nothing but gold certificates, the only
other paper money according to the
treasury table, being three United
States notes two for $1,000 each and one
for $40 900.

was no founGation for any imputation that he was in the habit of drinking to excess then. If at any time he had formed such a habit he had put it un- der his feet. For that think he is en- titled to greater honor than if he had never yielded to temptation. My ex- planation of Buffers influence over Grant is to some extent conjecture, but I believe that Grant thought him a powerful political leader.''
 Tn chapter on '"The Senate Tn 1877'' MT. Hoar says:
 "The reform of the civil service has doubtless shorn the office of senator of good deal of it's power.
 "I think President Mckinley, doubt less with the best and purest inten- tions, did still more to curtail the dig nifty and authority of the office" This was by ''the appointment of members of the senate to distinguished and lu- crative places in the public service, in which they were to receive and obey the command of the executive, and then come back to their seats to carry out as senators policy which they have adopted at the command of an- other power, without an opportunity of consultation with their associates or of learning their associates opin- ions.'
 MT. Hoar discloses the fact that he was twice offered the English mission, once by Secretary Evarts and again by MT, Mckinley. The chapter relat- ing to this also discloses that he sug- gested to President Hayes the appoint ment of President Eliot of Harvard as British minister when MT. Welsh resigned. and MT. Lowell. then minis ter to Spain, was reluctant to accept the appointment.

CANCER CURED BY RADIUM.

That remarkable new metal, radium, has scored another victory, if we are to credit the reports that it has been successfully used to cauterize malig- nant growths. It has been known since the discovery of this substance that the emanations from it, like the X-rays, are able to infiict a serious burn. This. according to a recent medical writer on the subject, is be- cause its rays interfere with the action of certain nerves, and apparently it's ability to cause cancerous growths to disappear is due to action of a similar kind, since malignant growths are now supposed to be controlled in some way by influences transmitted from the central nervous system. At present the high price of the radioactive sub- stances prevents general experiment. along this line. and it is to be hoped that the cost of production may soon be lessened by the discovery of new ores and of simpler methods of extrac- tion.-SucceSS lg.

To Protect the VI A,te House.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. - Colonel Symons, superintendent of the public buildings and grounds; Chief Belt and Marshal Beaver of the Washington fire department have made thorough in- spection of the White House with d view to perfecting the. facilities on the grounds and in the buildings for fight fRg fire. It has been decided by Colonel Symons to organize the White House employees and the policemen into fire brigade to supplement the work of the city department. Facilities now are provided for fighting fire at the White House, but the inspection developed the fact that much of the apparatus is out of date if not practically useless.
