THE Indiana Legislature has just passed
a bill limiting the rental of telephones in
that State to s. per month, with reduc-
ton of fifty cents when two or more are
used by the same firm. The telephone has
become a public necessity, but it is in the
hands of a powerful monopoly who have
become enormously rich within short
time from the burdensome tax they have
imposed upon the people. New inventions
have been quickly bought up or outlawed
by the use of immense capital, thus leaving
the public still to suffer. There seems to
be but one way by which the people can
be protected, and that is by State legisla-
tion. and the example of Indiana should
be quickly followed by every other State.

On Aug. 22d, 1852, New Ulm was the
theatcr of one of the most important
events in the history of Minnesota, for
then and there was fought the battle
with the Sioux which arrested their fero-
cious invasion of the white settlements,
with its horrible incidents of indiscrimi-
nate butchery and revolving cruelty.
The twenty-third anniversary of that
decisive battle was celebrated last Sat
urday at New Ulm with fitting cere
monies; and it was especially appropriate
that the gifted gentleman who was the
leader OF the brave band of hastily assem-
bled volunteers who participated in that
gallant aud successful defense of New
Ulm, should have been chosen to deliver
the principal address on that occasion.
Among the many conspicuous services
which Judge Flandrau has rendered to
the state, his heroic and successful
defense of New Ulm is the one which
best entities him to the civic crown

BIG BILLS FOR PUBLIC FUNERAL!

BIG BILLS FOR PUBLIC FUNERALS.
In a recent interview Undertaken Mer-
rift, to whose hands DR.. Newman gave
the conduct of the Grant funeral, init
mated that the bills might aggregate
thirty thousand dollars or might even
reach as high as fifty thousand. Much
Of the work was Of necessity performed
by other undertakers, who had not vet
rendered statements. Hence the ina
bility to give an accurate statement of
the final cost. But whatever the amount
may be, whether fifty, thirty or ten thou
sand dollars, it will at once be asked of
what items is this immense bill made up
and why does it cost 80 much more for
undertakes to bury man when the
public pays the expense than when
his relatives furnish the money? The
same questions were asked when the
Garfield funeral was over and they
constantly recur in less prominent cases
where States. cities or other municipal
bodies conduct funerals.
1t cannot be asserted with any regard
to probability that the cost, even with
the addition of the most liberal profit,
would reach any of the sums named.
The really costly features of the Grant
funeral were supplied by the public or
by the railroads. The tram was free
one. The buildings in which the body
lay IN state in Albany and New York be-
longed to the State and the city of New
York and the municipality furnished the
three hundred and fifty carriages for..the
mourners and guests. The city also gave
the burial place. 1t is, therefore, difficult
to understand what has contributed to
make the large bills which the under
takers talk about with such easy non
chalance.
1t is almost universally recognized that
reform is necessary in funeral display
and expense, and this can best he promo
ted if the Federal Government and States
and cities will insist upon paying reason
able bills and no others.-Philodelp Aia

In ancient Mexico the people knew
nothing of the prohibition or local option
methods, but they had summary way
of Furnishing drunkenness. If an officer
or man Of distinction got drunk he was
hung, and his body was then dragged
along public highway and thrown IN
the river. If the drunkard belonged to
the lower classes he was sold into slavery
for the first offense, and for the second
he was hung. 1t was the theory of the
Mexican law that the offender who was
the highest in rank mcrited the most
code of law drunkenness was of very rare
occurrence among the ancient Mexi-
consolidating Item.

ANOTHER woRLD,s EXPOSITION.


Expositions are great civilizers. They
bring people together and make them
acquainted. They discover mines of pre-
cious metals, mountains and beds of use
full necessary minerals. forests of the most
valuable woods. fields of undeveloped
fertility, and markets for all products
and manufactures.
The late Worlds Exposition. notwith-
standing unfortunate delays and the
execrable weather which deferred so many
from attending, was a wonderful sur
prise to the people IN these respects. It
was so much success that it's friends have
determined that the good work it COM
menced shall go on.

Central and South American Exposition

nouncements and advertising matter

and property of the old Exposition. 1t

of the old exhibits and it will reopen
for period of twenty weeks on the 10th
of November next.
The various impediments and adverse
influences that operated go strongly
against the success of the late Exposition
will be removed. The day of opening
is in tie most pleasant and attractive
season of the year in that section. Steam

been established between the center of

HANC0CK's sOLDIERLY COURTESY.
Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, re-
lated an incident Of his experience III
New York which appeared to have touch
ed him very deeply. He was compliment
ted in the first place by being invited to
act as aid upon Gen. Hancock's staff.
When he called to report for duty he was
handed an order which directed staff Of
ficers to their rank. Gen. Gordon was
when he read this: He had
held one of the highest Offices in the
army, but under the exist
ing order of things he had no rank. So
he solved the vexed question of his posi-
ton by going modestlY to the end of
the line. below every one of the regular
army officers down to tie hpmblest. But
he was not permitted 70 remain there.
An aid from General Hancock came gal
Looping up and directed General Gordon
as the ranking officer to take his position
