TELEPHONE STOCR-JOBBING.

The Sun considers it matter for serious re-
grct that the House Investigating Committee
did not explore the underground telephone cir
cults in the Interior Department. Ire details
of the plot for making a speculative use OF pri-
yate information of Secretary Lamar's decision
respecting the Government suit have convinced
this sturdy Democratic jOurnal that this was
pbase of the Pan Electric scandal which ought
TO have been exhaustively discussed. The fail
ure of the Chicago syndicate to profit hand
somely by the information received surrepti-
tlously from the Department was due to unfore-
seen causes but the fact that there was an
official acting in colusion with the spectators
aud expecting to have large percentage ID re-
turn for his breach of confidence IS glazing evil
dence of the stock -jObbing tendencies OF Secre-
tary Lamars associates. Mr. Ranney probably
would have followed up this trail, on which, as
Tie Sun says he accidentally stumbled, if he
could have convinced himself that the flying
reports were well foun ded, that trustworthy
evidence could be obtained, and that the matter
was pertinent to the whole inquiry. MIR Davies
distinct admission in the Associated Press
DISPATCHES, that he was furnished with
information concerning the decision and that
he secured $1.0O0,00O or more to be used IN
" bearing Bell telephone stock now shows that
there was very fragrant scandal which ought
to have been investigated. Mr.. Ranney, not
being in possession of this positive evidence in
time, could not act upon the vague hints he
had received.
The exposure of this conspiracy serves the
useful purpose of directing attention anew to
the extent to which Secretary Lamars subordi-
mates We're interested ID telephone schemes.
Closely associated with him in the management
of his Department were as many as six proml-
nent stockholders in the Pan Electric Com
pany. Here was powerful ring of official as
sociatcs, whose influence must have been felt in
preparing tho decision in favor of a Govern
meut suit. This tact alone constitutes grave
public scandal. Owing to his intimate relations
with these Southern telephone SPECTATORS
General Johnston, Mr. Atkins Mr.. Upshaw and
the minor officials, Secretary Lamar's public
action in sanctioning proceedings against the
Bell Company was fatally compromised. With
so many Illuminating flashes of Pan Electricity
the atmosphere of the Department was sur
charged with suspicion.

MAD KING LUUUIE

The Bavarians are apparently not at the end
of trouble with their mad monarch Their long
suffering having had no other effect than to
encourage his costly ecccntrcitics, and the true
nature of his affection becoming more apparent,
it was decided to depose him, and his uncle was
appointed Regent. But the King refuses to
admit his Cabinet, who want to persuade him to
sign his deed of abdicatiOn, and now there is
danger shat the stupid but loyal mountaineers
inhabitlng the county about his castle of
HOhenscb wangen may resent the Efforts of the
Ministry to burst through his obstinate seclu-
sion. In the event that these IA ountaneers
should offer armed resistance the position Of
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1886-06-12

the Cabinet would become difficult. In the alb
sence of formal abdication on the part or the
King, any action taken by his Ministers against
his person, or against those who were guaroihs
his person, might be construed rs treason anu
if the army should ch0use to side with the King
he might make the situation seriously unccm
Portable for those who seek his deposition.
There is probably no room for doubt as to the
fact of his insanity. All Europe has regarded
him IA mad for the past ten years, anu IL Is
questionable whether any one outside OF the
Bayarian peasantry eutcrtans any misgivings
on the subject in his own kingdom. But the
divinity that doth hedge even mad prince in
Germany has kept him on the throne and en-
abled him to scatter IL large part OF his revenues
i'm the widest extravaganza lie has inhuiged
a passion for building as freely as though he
had the wealth Of the Rothscbilds ut his back,
and his foolish subjects have allowed him to
souander the taxes wrung from them on this
and many other insane WITNESSES. Even now 1t
is with the greatest reluctance that any action
is being taken, and probably if the matter were
nut to popular vote a large majority would de-
clare in favor of letting him remain on the
throne. If he succeeds in maintaining himself
in his castle it is possible that the scandal of the
threatened conflict may procure for him fresh
reprieve unless his uncle Prince LuitpOld can
secure the approval OF the people, in which case
Ludwig will have to give way. He has had
long day for crow ned lunatic, and perhaps his
neighbors who wear the purple perceive at last
that the exhibition he offers to the world Ia CAL
culated to strengthen the democratic spirit.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1886-06-12

Within few days party leaders in Congress
have been seriously considering what measures
1t is possible to act upon. Leading Democrats
in the House find that the measures which the
various committees consider of imperative
necessity would occupy the entire time of the
House until the meeting Of the next session in
December. In the Senate, the Republican
leaders find that measures already before that
body will occupy all the time that Congress
can he held in session, without considering any
save the most important Yet in this state of
things certain Democratic leaders propose to
take up several weeks in useless debate on
the tariff question in the House. These men
arc perfectly aware that there will not be time
to secure any action by the Senate on tariff
bill, even if one could be passed by the House.
Thus il is plain once more that public inter-
ests are to be sacrificed to the political
anxieles Of Democratic factions. One faction
seeks to get the better OF the other, and for
that reason a tariff bill is to be discussed, and
if possible forced 10 a vote. Nobody imagines
that the bill can be passed at this session, and
very few of those who will support the meas
ure pending desire that it should pass in its
present form, for nearly every one of them
would insist upon much more sweeping
change of the tariff Under these circum-
stances, would it not be good sense for Demo-
cratic leaders to put an end to this agitation by
sending the Tariff bill to the waste basket
where it belongs? So little time re aims that
Democrats who care for the public interest
may we'll insist that none of it shall be taken
up in prolonged debate which can have no
other object or result than to disturb industry.
and to give one Democratic faction some small
advantage over another

to be. nevertheless. about 13s per cent Oh
25O. 900 acres, greater than that OF last year.
The accounts from Texas show an unusually
large increase, the Bureau estimate being lo'
per cent for that State and Do per cent Tor
Mississippi and Louisiana. The considerable
increase in these great cotton growing States
throws into the shade tho decrease in some
other States where the yield is comparatively
unimporlant. The figures warrant expectation
of a large crop this year, so far as any ex-
notation can be warranted by the condition OF
the crop at this date. In this connection the
recent rains iD Texas, after the long drouth
there seem especially important.
The Bureau report regarding the state OF
crops abroad indicates that the surplus of
wheat will be much reduced this year in other
countries 1t is believed as much as 37,OOO,O 900
bushels in India and Australia. On the other
hand. the Bureau reports are decidedly made
ouatc as to the probable yield in France and
Germany, where new and effective duties are
likely to materially stimulate production. In
Austro- Hungary, also, new and higher duties
have quite recently been adopted While
these measures stimulate home production,
they also tend to depress the price at which the
grain of Russia, Turkey and India will be
offered in European markets.

fered with his personal comfort. Certainly he did
not give the first manifestation of this trait when
he refused to appear on the same platform with
