The TELEPHoNE.-The use Of the
Transmission Of messages is fast be-
coming universal 10 all commercial
centers Of the country Recent trials
md experiments tend to shaw that
long.distance telephoning Is q practi.
col success. Telephone messages
have passed between New York aad
Chicago, and only few days ago q
permanent line was opened between
that city and Boston for the transac.
ton Of business. In Europe recently
telephone converse ion was held be-
tween st. Petersburg and Cologne, .
distance of two thousand four bun.
dred and sixty-tive miles. The devei-
opment Of the powers ofthe telephone
has only just begun and in q few
years we may expect to see wonder
ful results from this mode of commu-
nicating with distant parts OF the

The bill for the appointment of .
commission to inquire into the Alco-
holic liquor traffic, has recently passed
the United States Senate. The bin
provides for az investigation of the
relations Of the liquor trafiee ITO reve-
nue. and taxation, and It's general
economic, criminal, moral and seien-
tiic aspects in connection with paup-
erism, crime, social vice, the public
health and general welfare OF the
people" They are also to inquire as
to the practical results Of license and
prohibitory legislation In the several
States. A Washington dispatch al
Iudes to the measure Is that tiresome
old alcoholic liquor BILL" Yes, II is
''tiresome," % everything is tire
some" TO to average legislator that
concerns the general welfare of the
people. Days and weeks are spent
debating and pickering over partisan
measures that have no interest for any
one except the spoilsmen and probes
sional politicians, but when Q bill
comes up that has some moral bear
ing or that really affects the country
at large in the right way, these rep
resentatives Of the people" have bnsi-
ness elsewhere. Il is but little to say
that this sort Of Legislation" is be-
coming very tiresome to tax payers
