SENATE KEEPS THE MORMON

The case of Mormon Senator Smoot.
Of Utah, which has been pending for
four years on account OF his Mormon
belief, was decided in his favor last
week, and he retains his seat. The
reason for his retention is said 10 be a
deal with the late Mark Hanna. when
National Republican Chairman in the
Presidential election OF 1900. 1t WAS
understood with the Mormon people
then that if they would deliver their
votes to Mckinley they should have
the Senator and would not be disturb
ed in his seat, and President Roose-
welt, it is said, was active in seeing the
barter carried out.
1t is well to be as good as ones

how about bad bargain A few years
ago a Democrat, by the name
Roberts, was elected to Congress from
the same state. He, too, was Nor
mon. and Congress was Republican
and they refused to even let him take,
the oath of office, but decided he was
not suitable person to be in the body
But this time the case was reversed
Mr.. Smoot was Republican and the
Senate was Republican, and Mark
Hanna had made deal for this Nor
mon vote, which is large in the West,
holding the balance Of power in several
small states, and this vote had to be
reached in some way. This scene ends
this corrupt chapter for the present
at least. Several Republican Senators
refused TO be a party to this shady

Deafness Lannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbIino
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its narmal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out often
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

PATIENCE AND THE CON-

The patience Of the public must be

was begun.
The railroads have been allowed TO
prolong indefinitely their evidence try

the commission should finally decide
against them they will resort To the
courts, and delay the matter still fur
ther, and in the mean time go on col
lecting three cents Il mile from the
people. The sooner the Commission
passes the 2-cent rate law the sooner
the agony will he over, one way or the
other.
The Commissions good work along
other lines has been applauded but their
hearse-like proceedings in this case
tries patience.

We have taken the trouble TO look
mp the law on the subict, and here it
is I:
Section l0l7 OF the Code of Virginia
says:
"All moneys collected or received

it shall be the duty OF the Council and
OF the Clerk OF the Circuit and Corpor-

place in said city or town, and also to

The law is equally clear and explicit
rs to the countys revenues.
Has the law been complied with in
a single instance? Why not?
The county and towns have officers.
