1t is reported that the friends of telephone
consolidation have not abandoned their
scheme of uniting all the telephone compa-
nfes of New England. AS soon as they have
succeeded in obtaining enough stock move
will be made, it is said, in the direction of
consolidating the Boston and Northern COM
panies, which cover Vermont and New
Hampshire and Essex county in Massachu-
sets; the Bay State, which covers central
and western Massachusetts; the Southern
New England, which covers the State of
Connecticut; the Providence company, Gov
criDg Rhode island, and the Southern Mas
sachusetts company, covering the cape and
southern Massachusetts, to which the Bell
company would add Boston. Such a cen
solidation would comprise everything in
New England excepting the National Bell
Telephone Company of Maine, which covers
the entire State, and the cities of Lowell,
Worcester and Fitcbburg in Massachusetts,,
and the Suburban company, which consists
of everything outside of Boston proper with
in radius of 15miles. The Lowell people
absolutely control these two companies and
have very favorable conta acts, especially in
the Maine company, which contract runs
until 1891, when the company has the op-
ton OF making it perpetual if it desires for
so per cent. of the stock.

The Allied Building Trades-Union of New

in course of construction and see that no men
are employed who do not belong to some

compelled to discharge two laborers who

were not members of union and would not
join one, the mechanics employed on the
building threatening to stop work unless
this was done. We hear much about the

Municipal Government.

The Cambridge, Mass. Civil Service
Reform Association offers prizes of one
hundred dollars and fifty dollars for the best
essays on the methods of appointing execu-
tive officers, and selecting laborers in NUM-
cipai governments, and the terms and ten
ures most suitable to municipal offices. The
competition is not limited to the Cam
bridge association, but is open to all, and the
whole subject or any part of it may be treat
ed. The association stipulates that the
prize essays shall become its property with
view to their publication. The essays must
not be longer than twenty five pages in the
North American Review, nor less than ten
of the same pages and must be sent previous
to the 10th of January to Morrill, Wyman,
Jr., Secretary, Cambridge, Mass. Each es-
say must be endorsed with fictitious name,
and the real name and address of the writer
must be sent at the same time in sealed
envelope. This association is doing good
work in stimulating consideration of the
best methods of government, and there are
few subjects more urgently demanding at
tention than reform in the system of ap-
pointing municipal officers, and in their eff

The frost of Tuesday night seems to have
been destructive all over New England. The
Connecticut Valley suffered severely. To-
bacco leaves were frozen SO that they
snapped readily, and squashes, corn and
tender vegetables were badly affected. It
is estimated that around Northampton,
Haydenville, Williamsburg, Easthampton,
Hsdley, Ware and Amherst the loss will
reach $4,000. In Whately the loss will
equal If not exceed this amount, and in
Hatfield it will amount to $4,000. The
principal loss is on tobacco.

The Ohio and Iowa Elections.

Elections were held in Ohio and Iowa on
bers of the legislature. The Legislature chosen
III Iowa will elect a successor to Senator ALI
son. and that of Ohio a successor to Senator
Pendleton. No national issue was pending in
either state. In Iowa the question of prohibit
ton was the over-shadowing one, and in Ohio
the Republicans were the champions of the
Scott law, which imposes heavy tax on the
saloon keepers, while the Democrats opposed
it. In the latter state two amendments to the
constitution were also voted on, one of which
gives the general assembly power to regulate
the liquor traffic, and the other prohibits for
ever the manufacture and sale of liquors in the
State.
While Republicans have entertained no doubt
as to their majority in Iowa, and the result will
justify their faith, Ohio has been regarded from
the first as debatable ground. Although Dem
ocratic dssensions in Hamilton county and
elsewhere gave ground for hope, it was believed
that the whole liquor element. with large per-
centage of the German vote, heretofore Re-
publican, would be arrayed against the Repub-
could not be counted upon with exactitude.
Hence, on the very eve of the election, the best
informed and most skilful computers could not
venture upon definite predictions. Those of
each party, however, claimed the State by
small majorities. and safe deduction from this
was that the result was doubtful. The returns
at hand at this writing sustain this view. The
Democrats claim majority on the State ticket,
and that they will have the Legislature. The
Republican committee expect to elect the Gov
ernor by ii few hundred majority. If the YER
diet should be the other way we should be
neither surprised nor discouraged The DEM
ocratic plurality last year was 10000 and if it
has been cut down to few hundreds, we may
safely count on Ohio as Republican State in
the coming national contest The Republicans
of Ohio have fought a good fight
IN Iowa numerous Republican gains oN er last
year are reported, but returns are indefinite.
There is, however, no doubt as to a Republican
victory in that State

the Journal will not be SO cruel as to use its
influence to secure a nomination for the editor

prompt US to do so. A success for the Repub-

mltted by the Age, which further appeals to
our sympathy by declaring that defeat would

The Rockland Free Press thinks that had
the Maine Central obtained the Knox and
Lincoln the Shore Line would not have been
built, and that business will now be diverted
from instead Of to the Knox and Lincoln. A
writer in the Bath Times wakes indignant over
this showing, and says the Maine Central was
guilty Of stupidity in not offering IA higher
rental. OF the proposed lease this writer
says:
1t was based on the very lowest valuation of
the property and franchise. If this offer had
been accepted, the towns and cities which had
loaned their credit, would have been cut off
completely from any advantage which an i'll
creasing business may give the road. and the
coupons would have to be paid, and the bonds
finally redeemed, with only the assistance
which the road could then give, thus surrender
ing all expectations from increased business
entirely and completely to the NJ. c. r. r.
