A MAD MONOPOLY.

The threat of the Bell Telephone Com
panies, doing business in Indiana, to draw
out of business is sequence to its previous
history of extortion. Indiana did long
while without telephone service. and can
do so again, in the same spirit that the Revo-
lutionary heroes did without tea. The case
will not end here, however. The application
OF the principle applied by our Legislature
viii be general. Other StBtes are rapidly
following the example, that the Supreme
Courts decision in favor of the right of a
Legislature to pass laws regulating common
carriers will stimulate. But the case dis
plays a national weakness in approaching
such problems, and that is that the great
power of many OF our corporations issuperior
to the power of State control. The General
Government is the only place where they
can practically be managed. During the
era of Farmers Oranges, railroad companies
doing business in Wisconsin, answered
legislative enactment defining rates, by tax
ing their rolling stock out of the State and
refusing to do business in it. 1t is on Just
such things that the centralizing tendency of
the Government becomes visible as general
means of overcoming or reversing it.
The telephone people claim that the rates
imposed by the law are unjust. Perhaps it
may be with the enormous rents exacted of
local exchanges by the Bell Company. As a
whole, their old tariff was an exaction equal
to downright robbery, pertaining to the Bell
Company, that under cover of monopoly of
the telephone business afforded by liberal
patent law, has prevented it into means of
exaction, %Iwo hundred per cent. profit
upon thrice watered stock" as well put by
a contemporary, has 70 far passed the bounds
of fairness and just dealing as to have
brought its own defeat-perhaps accomplish.
ed its ruin. If the last should happen, the
people would feel more like sowing little
salt on its grave than shedding tears.

The Southern Evangelist, Sam Jones, is
quite tobacco chewer. The following is in
point:
During his recent stay in Cincinnati he was
approached one day. after very fervent meeting
at the Music Hall, by an elderly lady, who had
taken a great interest in the services. ''Mr.
Jones" said the lady. "Iwsnt to ask you why you
chew tobacco. A great many people have ask me
that question and they have all thought that such
habit materially intezfered with your work as
Christian worker
81 don't like to tell my reasons for chewing"
replied the preacher. 81 have q little deiicacy on
that subject"
The lady insisted. however. and assured the
Evangelist that il she only knew why she could
tell her friends, and that would save him a great
dead of ungeneroUs remark.
''Weu," said Sam, after long pause elf you
must know why chew tobacco, il is to get the
juice out of ii and TO spit red"
The lady tainted. but was fully satisfied.
He was riding in street car shortly after this,
and was seated beside lady-a very deyOut Chris
uan-who was elegantly attired.
why don't you preach against the use of to-
baccO. Mr.. Jones?" said she. "ltw0utd do power
of good"
haven't got down to tobacco yet"
81 think you ought to do so, however" said she,
"and your words would have great effect upon
the young men,"
when get so low down as to nave to preach
against tobacco and earbobs. will quit breach
ing altogether" said Sam, somewhat petulantly.
The lady, who sported pair of 81 900 solitaire
earrings, rose hurriedly, and with flushed face
aud flashing eyes. left the car.

Sam Homes. i'm a recent sermon. said:

truth ever told lie without ramming a truth
back in order to let the lie get out am sorry for
a man who can't tell the truth when he wants to.
1 heard of incident. which may shock your
nodesty, but don't care if it does. Truth and
FalsehOod went in bathing one day, and False
hood rushed out on the bank and put on Truth S
clothes, which he has been wearing ever since.
When Truth came out he refused to put on False
hoods clothes, and said he would go nude before
he would wear that garb. Since then we have
had stark-naked Truth.
Brethren. saturate your hearts and tongues with
truth, and you will speak the truth. Now. you
often hear of merchants lying. There are not as
many lies told behind the counters as in front of
them. The purchaser will stand there and lie as
fast as a dog can trot, about where he or she can
buy the same goods at such and such price. AS
long there ten lies told in front of the coun
ter to one behind, the merchant who goes to he'll
for lying will have plenty OF company.

CANADIAN BUNCOMBE.

The Governor General of Canada issues an
address of welcome to the Chinese as an
answer to the American persecution of the
same people. 1t is piece of buncombe SO
like many of our own demagogic politicians
that it becomes ridiculous in the light of the
fact that the whites of the Northwest Terri
tory were the first to Inaugurate social
prescription to the Aslatlcs. 1t is very safe
to say that the British will not abide them a
whit more than the Americans, despite the
Governor General or anybody else, includ-
ing our own Bragg. They will go, and there
is not military force, either active or poten-
tial, on the North Americap continent to
prevent it'll If they are not peacefully
sent away, they will be relentlesslY perse-
cuted and destroyed. Our Government will
do well to send them peacefully away and
pay them all damages that the removal may
incur. 1t were better to do this than to
await an inevitable catastrophe. The idiocy
of trade is not higher displayed than by the
trembling apprehension of a loss of SS0,0OO,-
900 of Chinese traffic. As we are the best
customer China has. and as Japan will
gladly sell us all that the Chinese would
refuse, we are in no danger of losing trade,
at least if we act justly toward them. Chi
nese immigration has been sought to be pre-
vented by the Chinese Government ever
since it began, and any peaceful, humane
settlement we may make of the question
will be received in excellent spirit by that
power. II it be not done, time will come
when the damage can not be repaired.

SENATOR MCDONALD.
His Views of Things Political and Other
wise,
IChicago Times.1

Ex-senator Joseph E. Mcdonald, of Indi-
ana, was at the Palmer House yesterday.
The venerable politician and statesman is In
Chicago in the interest of the trustees OF the
Chicago and Atlantic Railroad, who have
applied for the appointment of Receiver.
The ex-senator is counsel for the Bell Tele-
phone Company, and is deeply interested in
the suit which Will probably be brought
by the Government to test the val
idity of the patents to the company,
which are claimed to control the entire prin-
ciple of electric sound transmission. He
said there were two places where the suit
might be brought-either in the District of
Columbia or in Massachusetts,, where the
company was incorporated. He ignored en-
tirely the demand made by certain class OF
people that Secretary Garland should resign
from the Cabinet because he owns or did own
when he became Attorney General certain
amount of stock in the Pan-Electric Com
very foolish thing for Mr.: Garland
to do. He had simply taken
the stock of the company as
an attorneys fee. 1t was worth nothing then
and it was worth nothing now. His action
in that matter was perfectly honest bust
ness transaction, and had not inJerfered in
the least with his official duties. He thought,
however, that the Government had made a
mistake in assuming the parentage or respon-
sibility of a suit, but that the matter should
have been fought out between the Bell Com
pany and other individual claimants for
rights and privileges. The ex-senator then
gradually fell to talking of national affairs,
and on being asked his opinion in regard to
the unpleasantness existing between the
President and the Senate, he expressed him.
self heartily in favor of President Cleveland s
letter to the Senate. He thought the EK-
ecutiye and the higher branch of the legis-
latiye body were maneuvering for position,
but the Senate had exceeded its functions
when it attempted to vindicate suspended
officeholders, or demand the reasons OF the
President for removing them. The Presi-
dent had simply told the Senate that it may
as well save itself the trouble, because
the papers in his possession they
can not have. He thought it would
be found that most of the charges
made against suspended officials were
made orally by Senators and members OF
Congress, who would not like to have their
charges brought to public notice Senator
Edmunds understood this perfectly we'll
and astutely inquired only for information
concerning the official conduct of an incum
bent for period of about six months prior
| to his suspension. He didn't think the re
suit would be very serious. The Senate
might attempt to make party capital by re
| iectipg some nominations, and that wa
about all there would be 10 the master.

Journal has some good words for Judge Pol
lard. recently of Delphi, Ind, and most out
rageously villiied by Cincinnati and Indi-
ana Republican newspapers. The Yellow
stone Journal says:
Judge Pollard is winning golden opinions from
both bar and juries by the prompt andi decisive
manner in which he decides cases brought be-
fore him. During the past two days this week he
has heard five cases and rendered decisions. His
point, and he allows no unnecessary time to
elapse after case is disposed of before another
is called and commenced. Custer County never
had a better or more expeditions Judge, and we
believe that will be the honest opinion of the tax
payers in every county of his district when they
have had an opportunity of giving him trial.

A SUBSIDIARY INTEREST.

In our criticism of the Presidents message
we said 'The President is held responsible
for the proper conduct of affairs, and not the
underiing.' The people, of course, have
subsidiary interest in the office-holder, but
this interest does not, and can not, 60 so far
as to practically make the incumbent indie
pendent of Executive control without throw
ing that business into confusion. While in
theory the President may be merely an agent
for the people, to select man for them, this
agency il accompanied with such response
