found more or less of hearing. The question
brought before Mr.. Lamar was whether he be-
leved the evidences of fraud in securing the
patent justified the bringing Of suit by the
government to vacate the patent He decided
there was. That brings the question up to De
decided on its merits. 1t is somewhat of an IN
usual procedure for suit to be brought in this
way, but it is entirely reasonable to suppose that
where the government has evidence that fraud
has been committed through one of its branches
that it should sue for the notification of the
thing done. Whether there was collusive action
or not between Bell aud the Patent Office
officials when he got his patent in 1876 the OPP
preston of the monopoly built up by him and
his associates is keenly felt by the public. The
schedule of charges of telephone service in the
city of New York is outrageous. In the bust
ness part of the city as much as $40 so month
IS charged for a single instrument, while a
private line costs $50 month. This is believed
to be out of all proportion to the cost of the
service. and public sentiment cries out loudly for
some competition that shall lower the charges to
some rational basis AS it is now, every i'm
provement in telephones is cut off, and Mr.. Bell
sits astride the element of electricity and drives
away all corners.
