A FALLEN POLITICIAN.

The Springfield Republican sum-
marizes the Smoot case, editorlally, In
few telling sentences as follows:
Senator Smoots case seems To be al
ready decided against him, although fur
ther evidence Will be taken by the Senate
committee. The main point of difference
remaining Is the method OF clearing him
out. Senator Burrows faYorS exclusion,
which requires only a majority vote, and
Senator Bailey calls for expulsion" T"
which constitutionally requires two
thirds majority Both are against Smoot
He Will return 10 Utah having lost even
the support of the church
The argumentative conclusion of the
Republican that Smoot will have lost
the support Of the Mormon church is In
all probability correct While the
church appointed him It's ambassador
to the Government of the United States.
1t did so under the misapprchension
created by Apostle Smoot and his Inn
mediate friends who assured the church
that he, Of all men, was desired at
Washington by the leaders OF the Re
publican party.
And the church will be as mercilcss
in its punishment of Smoot for the dis

always been toward guilty or innocent
offenders against its viii and desire for
popularity,
Apostle Smoot might have made him
self the most beloved man in his church
and one of the strongest citizens Of
Utah, IT, after finding that the Nation
would not endure qulcscently his pres
ence In the Senate, he had ronounced
his political place and ambition and
had returned TO Utah to counsel obedi-
ence to law and observance Of cove
nants with the Nation.
Having refused to take that oppor-
tunity having been the cause OF drag
sing Smith and many others to Wash
ington TO expose their multifarious
family arrangements. and having pro-
voked antagonIsm all over the world
against the missionaries of his church.
1t is not likely that when Smoot shall
return home a fallen politician. he will
be looked upon ns an exalted apostle.

WHERE THE MARVEL LIES.

A recent Washington dispatch thus
sums up the Governmental financial sit
uation:
The treasury enters upon tho new year
with much brighter prospects than last
calendar year. as Its condition has i'm
proved very much during the past six
months. Its receipts for tho past six
months aggregate S23j0co,ooO az against
s27S, ,000. 900 for corresponding six months OF
1904 and its expenditures S50i, 600 coo, as
against 500 100000 for the like period OF
1904
war thne-lS6l -65-and show the huge
strides the country Is making In all dircc-
tions.
When we first had "a billion dollar
Congress" that is, when we had the
first Congress that appropriated a bill
lion dollars for the two years compris-
ing its term some of the newspapers OF
the country went into spasms. But
now the Congress can appropriate a
billion and a quarter during its term
and no one so much as bats an eye.
Everybody understands that a great
Nation must spend money, and the peo-
pie Of the United States, doing their
own collecting and cxpending, do not
grumble
But the particularly striking thing
about the above item is not the present
large showing Of receipts and expendi-
lures, but that such enormous sums
could have been collected during the
Civil war, from the North alone, and
when so many men were withdrawn
from productive industry and bent
their energies to waste and destroy.
The Government has now easily four
times the wealth and resources TO draw
upon that the Government had from
1861 to 1865. And yet that one-fourth
paid more into the National treausry
than the people of the whole united
country pay now. We take II that the
dispatch quoted does not mean to In
clude In the statement of Governmental
revenue during the Civil war, any sums
received from the sale of bonds; but
that the revenue referred 10 included
only that which was derived from GUS
toms and internal taxation. The tariffs
were high, and they produced enormous
sums; and the internal taxation was
widespread and productive. 1t Included

WELLMAN's POLAR EXPEDITION

The intention OF Walter WeIlman,
make an effort this year to reach the
North Pole by airShip. has been secuted
by some journals as a fallacious and
suicidal notion. With much wealth of
detail. they have demonstrated that his
ship cannot maintain It's buoyancy
during the prospective eight days re-
quisite to sail from the northcrnmost
available base to the Pole and return,
and that the power Of his ship Will not
be sufficient to make the southerly re-
turn voyage In the face Of the strong
northerly winds.
Almost simultaneously with the ap-
pearance OF these pessimistic views
which are largely based upon theory.
stree the facts cannot be ascertaincd
until the effort shall be made-comes a
presumably authenticated story In the
New York Herald OF one OF the most
successful operations OF flying ma

THE FESTIVE PRESS AGENT.

The great French liner. La Touraine.
battled with a hurricane I'm mid-Atlan-
tic for sixty hours. was forced out of
her course and was In instant danger of
destruction for nearly three days and
nights; and. according 90 the alert press
agent who has managed. for a wonder,
to reach the Associated Press, the great
Polish pianist. Arthur Rubinstein,
hammered the ships piano in the midst
OF the gale to calm the frightened pas
sengers. He was flung out OF his chair
and bruised. and the passengers were
knocked about like tenpins.
1t is needless to state to those who
have watched the proceedings of press
agents that Rubinstoin has come to
tins country 10 give a series of concerts.
His supposed hcroism is calculated to
add interest to his artistic perform
ances
What gauzy things they tell TO make
adventurous help for public perform
ers II the hurricane were anything
like described its howlings would have
and il the vessel were leaplng from
ocean canyon To ocean peak. and if the
passengers were being tumbIed about
as described. no one could have paid
any attention to the music even II Ru-
binstein could have kept his place at
the plano and could have been heard.
This is like the story that recently APP
peared In the local press concerning
singer who was to appear in Salt Lake
City. Her special car had been stopped
at a farmhouse near Bountiful, She
and her maid wandered Into the place
and found an old lady to whom they
applied for chickens and eggs The
housewife answered that she had none.
Failing to get these. the singer turned
to the kitchen plano and accompany
ing herself thereon, sang some OF her
most wonderful airs; whercupon the
woman rushed out and brought chick
ems and eggs galore.
And the willy press agent palmed that
OFF on Utah people as fact.
Most men who have travelled exten-
sively through this country have usually
found that at farmhouses. instead OF
having pianos and no chickens. they
have chickens and no pianos. Instead
OF music racks they have hen coops,
But according TO the willy press agent
the singer got her omelet-elso she got
another ovation when she sang I'm pub
lie for money instead OF chickens
Whether the American people like to
be humbugged or not, they get 1t just
the same.

whole matter away in the following
paragraph.

ductlon OF the piece of sophistrN'

unceasing volume of untruth and IN
vective ito crafty n desire to injure

Mr.. Frederick NJ Smith echoed In
the sense that he quoted from the ut
terances of members OF the presidency
and apostolic quorum Of the Utah Nor
mon church.
Some OF these were indeed filled with
venom and libel" Some OF these In
deed were uttered to crafty a desire
to injure that which could not be de-
stroyed" Some OF these were curses
upon the President OF the United
States Some OF these were threats to
whip the United States. Some OF these
were to teach treason and thereby In

tended prophets could not destroy,
Following is the kind of venom that

ing the ungodly curses that are bowling
around him for tho destruction of this
people, he shall be cursed. I'm the namc OF

this Nation, because they are my
brethren; but they have cast me out and
cast you out; and | curse him and all his
coad tutors In his cursed deeds. In the

fense than to charge Mr.. Frederick Nj.
Smith with being an echo" or tool

It's arms and do, as its editor did once
before, plead guilty and promise to be

Smith now needs no shield from any
thing which the News may say. AS his
effective work In battering down the
6msy rampant of falsehood with which
the News has surrounded the present
case of the Nation against the Mormon
church. and his use OF the utterances OF
Mormon presidents as the battering-ram
with which to do his great work, are
becoming known throughout the Ma

and clauses were found even to be in- terpreted as giving legal sanction to the present conditions of operating in the anthracite trade. The vigorous recovery in Reading owed something to this con- sideration With the relaxation of the pressure to liquidate demonstrated, there was some natural turn amongst profes- sional operators to take the long side of the market again.
 The buying was ftful and irregular, however, and inclined to make itself most felt in the stocks which have long moved under the control of market combina- tiqns. The Hill stocks were again con spicuous and there was a very large pro- portion of the less prominent industrial specialties in the list of gains. The time money market reflected the sub- sidence of the rush amongst speculative borrowers which aggravated the local money market for account of out-of-town institutions. The rates for call loans, however jumped late in the day. The eff feet was pronounced in the stock mar ket coming at time when the room traders were tempted to take profits on the days rise anyhow. The late sell ing was due in part also to the moderate proportion of the demand attracted by the check to the reactionary tendency of the market Hopes that a very large waiting demand might come forward when the limits of the decline seemed to be reached were disappointed. The furry in call loans to per cent was due to the shifting of accounts incident to the payment of subscription to the twenty million dollars of New York city bonds sold last week. The example of the sen sitiveness of the money market and fu- ture payments of a similar character in prospect on other bond subscriptions were not relished by the speculative sen tment and prices yielded so sharply as to carry the level generally back to be- low last night. and make the closing tone easy.
