The suit brought against the Bell Tele-
phone company IN the name of the United
States, is creating wide discussion in pub
lie circles. The reason is found, not SO
much in the point at issue, though that is
very important and closely concerns the
general public, as in the peculiar connec-
ton sustained by the government of the
United States to the case. A summary of
the facts in the case will be necessary to a
correct understanding of the govern
ment's relation to il.
The suit, recently instituted in the Uni
ted States Court at Memphis, Tenn, is
brought in favor of the National Improved
Telephone company, Il corporation hold
ing the right to operate in certain speci-
fled territory, under contract with the
company known rs the Pan Electric
company" The Pan Electric company
claims that Mr.. Bell was not the original
inventor of the telephone, and that the pa
tents held by the Bell Telephone company
are fraudulent and void. The National
Improved company, acting in consonance
with, and under the sanction of the Pan
Electric company has instituted proceed
ings against the Bell company, to annul
portion of the capital stock of the Pan
Electric company is said to be held by
prominent Democratic officials and public
men, chief among them being Attorney
General Garland, who it is said, owns ST.,
100000 nominal value) OF the stock. The
application of the National Improved Tel
ephone company to institute the suit
against the Bell company, in the United
States Court, was made to Mr. Garland as
the Attorney General of the United States,
and was granted. The matter immediate
ly became public, and Attorney General
Garland was accused of having been gov
erned by interested motives in that affair,
He replied that he was not aware that the
use of the name of the United States had
been given to the Pan Electric campany,
and that he had not granted any such use.
This was very true, as IA mere statement,
the consent of the United States depart
ment of justice having been given by So
licitor General Goode, acting for Attorney

General Garland in the latter's absence
and to the National Improved Telephone
company, not to the Pan Electric com
pany. 1t is impossible to suppose. how
ever, that so important u request was
granted without Mr., Garland's knowledge
and consent, and it must also be evident
that he was aware of the immense advan-
tage which would accrue to the Pan
Electric company, if its claims could be
made good against the Bell company.
through the suit brought by the National
Improved company. OF course the rela-
lions of Acknowledgement Garland to the
case as an Interested party are made the
most of by the organs of the Bell Tele-
phone monopoly, and they may seriously
prejudice the success of the suit. Repre-
sented as case of official corruption, in
which Mr. Garland is using his position
as Attorney-General of the United States
to destroy the franchise Of the Bell Tele-
phone company for the benefit of rival
company, of which he and other leading
Democrats are incorporatOrs and owners,
the proceeding does not commend itself
to public approval. BY the side of this
consideration many lose sight of the fact
that only the United States can annul u
patent, and that the public interest, of
which the general government is the
guardian, demands that no great monop-
oily should be permitted to perpetuate it.
self on a basis of fraud or of unjust claim
to priority of invention. II the case is to
be pushed through, it would seem to be Il
great pity that Mr.. Garland did not di-
vest himself of all ownership or interest
in the contesting company, before the law
department of the government appeared
in the proceeding.

The Poor Man and the Silver Dollar

Since the withdrawal of the one and
two dollar notes from circulation, a
new aspect of the silver question has
come into greater prominence, viz. the
affect which deprecated silver currency
will have upon the welfare of the work
ingman. A large portion of the wages of
the average mechanic, day laborer and
minor employe must necessarily be paid
in coins or bills of small denominations
OF course, the mere matter of convenience
in handling silver is not what the work
ingman objects TO ;-he would be very
glad if his weekly stipend were good
many ounces heavier, providing his pnr-
chases of food with it, were correspond
ingly increased. But if his solid money
buys him less solid food or comfort, he
has a right to complain.
The standard silver dollar is good in
trade for its face value, at the present
time but there is no telling how long it
will be- aud the New York Herald, as
serts that Il distinct shyness about receiv.
ing the 50 cent dollars is already percev
able 1t says:
The testimony of tradesmen is unani-
nous that their customers generally resist
receiving the Bland dollar in making
change" and most of them certify that
the principal way in which they get rid of
! the coin as it accumulates in their tills is
| by paying it to employees for wages, leav-
| ing them, in their turn, to get rid of it as
| best they can. What is true with these
tradesmen is doubtless true with other
employers of labor, industrial or com
mercal. Here is the point of the illustra-
| ton of the helplessness of the poor-in this
testimony that the bulk of the Bland dol
lars in circulation is forced into the hands
of wage earners and that, when the sud
den collapse to au eighty cent purchasing
power of this kind of dollar comes, as 1t is
sure to come if the coinage continues, it is
wage earners who will be caught with the
| most of them in possession. Surprising
that fifty millions of them are then IN
wage earners' hands and that silver bull
lion maintains its present market price,
the shrinkage will be loss to the poor of
ten million dollars at stroke.
| Experience shows that the chief burden
of any great change OF this sort falls heavi-
est on the poor. Such facts as these
ought to be agitated, as the time draws
near for the settlement of this important
National question. The people demand
that the compulsory coinage of the silver
dollar be stopped. VIII Congress heed

THE federal policy" or The American
System" is the realization of the inspired
hope of the father of his country. Wash
ington gave to the founding of this sys-
TEN his most profound thought and entire
devotion. The principles of this system
are non-intercourse and independence of
the schemes and policies of the European
States, the conservation OF American ideas
and interests, of which the protection OF
American Agriculture, Manufactures and
Commerce, and the building up of home
market for home production are leading
parts. The Monroe doctrine" that our
proper dominion is the continent of North
America, is only the extension and compile
ton of the system. John Quincy Adams,
who, rather than Monroe, as Adams's BIO
grapher Morse maintains, must be regard
ed rs the father of the Monroe doctrine,
declares of this extension sit must be re-
garded rs law of nature"
The American system did not spring up
from speculation and theorizng like the
schemes on the European continent
which eliminated in the French
Revolution, but was born of the necessi
ties of the people. The first Congress
of the United States, meeting at New
York, March II, 1889, under the Presi-
dency of Washington impelled by their

We spoke, the other day, of the desira-
bility of increasing the safeguards of the
marriage laws in the different States. 1t
is possible, of course, to go to extremes in
this matter, as in every other, and Penn
sylvania seems to have done something of
that sort in adopting the restrictions
which she has placed upon matrimony in
her recently enacted marriage law. Be
sides levying a tax on bridegrooms, the
law compels them to answer under oath
some twenty questions as to themselves
and their intended brdes-which is likely
to prove a futile as well rs irksome pro-
vision. 1t is feared that the new law will
discourage matrimony in Pennsylvania,
while encouraging runaway matches and
weddings in adjacent States.
