Senator Davis, of West Virginia, has become something of a bore, with his perpetual arraignment of the bookkeeping of the Treasury Department under former administrations, but if there is anything in the world that the West Virginia Senator is master of it is the science of arithmetic as applied to large business transactions, and he has after years of consideration of this subject, made such a formidable showing of irregularities that it is well enough for the Senate to give the matter the careful investigation now ordered.
