ISt. Paul Dispatch, April 10.
What is the matter with the Dispatch
telephone connection? We have not re-
ceived clear, distinct and uninterrupted
message over our wire for more than a
month, yet in consequence of the almost
daily puttering and promising by the
central Office repairers we have deferred
making formal or public complaint. The
case of audacious eaYes-dropping devel-
oped against and impudently boosted
Of by the Pioneer Press gang
gives us a new light on this mys-
terry and awakens very ugly suspicious.
This We can say: That in very many in
stances during the past few weeks when we
have been obliged from the indistinctness
ana evident splitting in two of words and
sentences, to ''hang up" and quit, at the
same time in several cases where we have
spoken back, telling why we could not
communicate, there has instantly and
plainly come the words, swell, that's
strange, for we can lear you distinctly"
The idea of there being thieving ear some
where on our line had not occurred to US,
but may now explain all. Let Us have
telephone central outside of the thieves
den.
