THE Bell Telephone Co., is monopoly
second only to the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. Every one knows what the
latter is and the use it makes of its power
Its employees are overworked, poorly paid
and oppressed. Its rates are an outrage
and there is not even pretense made
that they are equable or fair. There is
good reason to believe that the Bell
Telephone Co., Is only branch of the
Western Union. Is it not possible that
the attacks made upon Attorney General
Garland largely have their origin with
the Western Union2 1t looks very much
as if it was determined effort on the
part of monopolists to break an officer
whom they fear.

New YORK has gone democratic by a
good large majority. The victory there
is complete. This must be as distasteful
to the Independents as to the republicans,
for the reason that it makes it appear
that the former are not such an important
factor in politics as the election of Clev-
land seemed to indicate. The election
in New York was of little moment, a mere
question of party strength. But every
democrat must rejoice over the defeat of
Malone In Virginia. Indeed the rejoic-
ing should not be limited to democrats.
Malone is the Benedict Arnold of poll
tics. He was not converted to repubIi-
canism. He did not even disguise his
purchase. He sold his vote as q. S.
senator to the republicans before formal
ly joining them. He always drove good
bargain but the better class Of republi-
can senators despised him. Through
the brides of patronage and the hope of
escaping taxation through reputation,
he built up personal following in Vir-
ginis which threatened to give him en-
tire control of the state. It is source
of satisfaction that this INSCRIPTIONS
politician will not go back to the q. s.
senate. He is now busy bowling fraud.

a STRANGE LEGAL CUSTOM.
A POUND OF TOBACCO PRESENTED TO EVERY
JURY IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

Washington Letter: There are some
peculiar customs in connection with the
administration of the courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia, relics of the old Mary
land laws; but one which strikes the or
binary observer as the most peculiar Is
that which requires the winning party to
a civil suit to pay for the tobacco that
the jury which tried the case is supposed
to have used during the hearing of the
case. Now, it happens sometimes that
not one of the jurors uses tobacco in any
form, and yet the pound of tobacco, or
its equivalent, has to be paid the fore
man of the jury the instant verdict has
been rendered. As litigants or their at
torneys are not i'll the habit of carrying
so much tobacco in their clothing, for
custom requires pound be given the
jury. the lawyer on the winning side, as
soon as the verdict is recorded, hands
the foreman of the jury 81, which is just
as good as the pound of tobacco. Some
times jury will try several cases in day.
If they do they will get 81 for each case
from the winner. The juries put all their
| tobacco money together, .and at the end
of the term divide it among themselves,
reserving a sufficient sum to buy for the
| foreman of the jury a cane, some kind of
| a present for the bailitfs who attend tue
| jury, and bouquet for the Judge who
holds the court. The jury has legal
| claim for the pound of tobacco in every
case, but there is no case recorded where
the tobacco has been refused and test
case made. On the criminal side of the
| courts the judges can, if they desire, i'm
| pose fines of pounds of tobacco instead
of dollars. The penalty for wife. beating
is from 10 to 100 pounds of tobacco under
the old laws. The old laws, however,
are seldom, if ever, entered, for most of
them are supplanted by modern ones.
Under the former the courts can pierce
hole with a red-hot iron through the
tongue of every one who blasphemes the
creator. but they do not do it. There is,
however, just as good laws for it as there
is to hang persons in this district. Some
overzealous Christians asked the enforce
ment of the law the first time Robert G..
Ingersoll lectured in this city, but no at
tention was paid to lhe request. 1t was
understood at the time that Col. Inger-
soil would be delighted with prosecu-
ton of this kind. For doing the lightest
labor on Sunday, under the old Maryland
laws, from to so pounds of tobacco was
| the penalty.

= SOME one anxious to obtain little no.
toriety, or whose scheme to make little
money out of the government has failed,
has taken to writing letters to then. Y. Sun
scoring Postmaster General Villas for his
refusal to throw open the treasury to the
Pacific steamships. And then the names
of all democratic papers are secured and
copies of the papers sent them. The
person thus attacking Mr.. Villas, under
stands human nature. He knows that
marked copy of metropolitan paper is
not thrown into the waste basket until
the article marked is read, and that many
local papers readily accept opinions
when presented in such way as to tickle
their vanity. And is not the suggestion
to comment upon the matter treated in
the metropolitan journal a compliment
which needs some recogn:tion2 Surely,
and Mr. Vilas's actions are severely ami
madverted upon though why,it would be
difficult for the average editor to xplain.
Thus public sentiment is moulded"
against the course pursued by Mr.. Villas.
The steamship companies saw an OPP
portunity to make raid upon the treas
ury. They become arrogant and dicta-
torial. Fortunately Villas showed no
disposition to yield to their demands,
aud when their schemes were defeated
they proposed TO use the public press to
discredit him with the people whose
cause he had espoused. This is the
situation in brief. 1t is one of the most
creditable acts in Vilas's administration
of the affairs of his office.

A VERY curious and interesting paper
appears in The Scientific American as to
the temperature of the Eastern States
and whether it can be changed. The
whole tenor of the article is based upon
the Gulf Stream and the Polar Currents
of which scientists now seem to know
less than they thought they did years
ago. The Gulf Stream flows along the
eastern coast of the United States but in
and increasing line of DETECTION there
from. 1t strikes the British Isles and it
has been generally accepted that their
mild climate is due to its influence.
Without any modification of the tempera-
ture of latitude these islands would have
temperature similar to Labrador, these
places being the same distance from the
equator. The cold current from the
polar regions flows under the Gulf Stream
where it strikes it near Newfoundland,
but that portion of it which passes
through the Strait of Bellies Isle, the
strait separating Newfoundland from
Labrador, passes between the Gulf
Stream and the Atlantic states thus
materially reducing the temperature of
these states. This strait is only ten
miles wide and has an average depth of
80 feet. BY damming the strait up the
cold current would be DETECTED around
Newfoundland and strike the Gulf Stream
at a point where it varies most to the
eastward and prevent the cold current
from passing between the Stream and
the Atlantic states, and thus give them
the full benefit of the warm temperature
of the Gulf Stream. But what would be
the effect on the British Isles? The full
force of the cold current striking the
Gulf Stream almost at right angles would
send larger portion of it circling in
that ellipse which forms the Saragossa
Sea in mid ocean. This would mean a
serious loss of heat for the British Isles,
and probably give them the climate of
comparative high ATTITUDES.
There is no knowing what mans work
may do in the way of changing natural
conditions. Scientists sounded notes of
alarm when the curious began to specu-
late upon the possibility of flooding the
Sahara, and ship canal across the
Isthmus of Panama which would allow a
current between the two oceans, also
caused some CONSERVATION as to what
effect it might have on the course of the
Gulf Stream and the temperature of
countries now affected by it.

THERE was no display at the funeral
of General Mcclellan. He wanted none.
1t was not grand holiday devoted to
tinsel and strut and fattering breath.
1t was quiet funeral, and Mcclellan is
not the less honored by it. Throughout
life he had the modesty of worth and
never spent any time in thinking how he
could best keep his name in the mouths
of the people. There was no shoddy in
his life and the shoddy kind were not
attracted by his death. His fame rests
upon his works not upon the fulsome
breath of unreasoning mobs.
