The Telephone Case.

The more we reflect upon the Supreme
Courts decision in the telephone case the
more we are encouraged to hope that the
prospect Of relief from an eNtortionate mo-
nopoly is not altogether barren. The result
of the decision is undcniably fixture Of the
title to the Bell patents for some time to
come These patents have received Ger.
tain Interpretation IN the decision of the
count. and the Bell Company will have Il
monopoly in telephony inside the limits OF
this Interpretation. But If telephones can
he operated ON scientific principles not In
cludod in this Interpretation of the Bell
method then why could there not be n com
petitive system of telephony established?
There are in the patent Office some twelve
or more patents for telephones granted
since Bells. These were granted because
they were held to operate ON scientific prin-
ciplcs different from those set forth in the
Bell patents. Otherwise why should they
have been granted? Undoubtedly some OF
these patents will now be put into competi'
tive operation against the Bell system, and
being non-infringing patents, at least so dc
clared by the patent office, they will become
the basis for wholesome rivalry.
+ Something, also, may be expected from
the government suit. That case is now in
the Supreme Court, and those acquainted
with the testimony the goyernmenthas been
able to gather declare that It will he shown
beyond question that Bell was not the orig.
inul inventor of the speaking telephone,
But the majority Of the court hold in the
desision just rendered that while man
may make great discovery he cannot have
the legal benefits of it unless he fully com
prehends its value, and at once goes about
putting it into practical use This was the
case of poor old Drawbaugh. If law ever
ran counter to justice, and inflicted cruel
hardship, the Supreme Court has GER
tainly furnished a conspicuous ex-
ample in this decision. 1t is true,
genius does not always appreciate the
commercial value or utility of its own
products; it seldom does, in fact; but
whether It does or 1t does not it will alway,
have the sympathy Of the world. We know
Of no more pathetic spectacle in all the his
tory of unrequited genius than that OF
Daniel Drawbaugh, as revealed to us by the
decision Of the Supreme Court, and we be
| leve 1t will immensely strengthen the move
ment to break the universally of the Bel
monopoly.

OfliCial EalsehOOus.

4 cause which requires to be bolstered up
by deliberate official Misrepresentation of
facts must be in a very bad condition Yet
that is what is being done to help the free
trade cause, and these official falsehoods
are sent out by the State Department as
veritablc records.
A consular report made by Mr.. James
Schoenhof, United States consul at Tunstall
England, is the vehicle through which these
false statements are made. Mr.. Schoenhof,
In his eagerness to sustain the admnistra-
tion which gives him place at the public
feed trough in its free trade policy, makes
some comparisons as to the cost Of weaving
cotton cloth in Germany, England, and the
United States
In making these comparisons Mr.. Schoen-
hof gives statement of the daily wages
paid TO weayers in the three countries
named and puts the wages of weavers in the
cotton mills Of the United States at from so
cents to Sl.l2 per day Mr. Schoenhof can
| not plead ignorance as to the wages paid to
operatives in the United States and must
tention to misrepresent.
Oi1icial statistics, published both by the
national and state governments, are the evi-
dence to convict Mr.. Schoenhof Of mis-
stating the rate Of wages paid to weavers in
cotton factories. As Mr. Schoenhof holds
an Office under the national government we
shall use only the national records to con
Wet him.
Volume 20 of the tenth census is devoted
to the labor and wage questions, and from
page 327 to 367 the wages in cotton factories
are given, From these pages we give Il few
excerpts showing how badly Mr., SchoenhoI
misreprescnts, and, at the same time, how
the wages paid weavers have advanced since
the days of Democratic free trade. 1t should
be remembered, too, In looking at thes,
tables, that wages are now from l5 to % pei
cent higher than they were in 1880. We
give the daily wages paid in nine establish
ments in New England to weayers in 1880

p Mn. HENRY L. ABBEY has been negotiating
with the Meinengcn Dramatic Company for
their appearance in America next season. but
the correspondence has been brought TO a
sudden stop, because the Meinengen company
insisted that all differences that might arise
should be settled in the law court of the city
Of Meinengen. To this Mr.. Abbey demurred,
because the Duke of Saxe-Meinengen Is not
only the owner of the company, but is also
the head of the Mencngen court, so that there
might be suspicion of one.sidedness, to say
the least in the settlement of disputes. The
Duke of SAKE Meinengen is very plain and
commonsense old gentleman, who always
looks after what is aptly called the main
chance, A number of efforts have been made
to have this celebrated company visit this
country, but they have uniformly failed. The
secret probably Is that the duke Is not anx-
ious to have them come. He is able to keep
them at home, and enjoys the honor of having
people come there from all over the world TO
see their performances. Both the duke and
the duchess went over to London last May
expressly to see Buffalo Bills Wild West, and
we're so well pleased that they tried to per
suade Col. cody TO exhibit in Berlin.

Mn. ELLIOT +. SHEPARD is accused Of buying

rose of booming Mr. Chauncey Depcw for the
presidency This would be rather an expen.
siye way Of booming Mr.. Depew, as the prop
crty cost Mr.. Shepard not much less than
$4,000. Mr., Depew does not need TO be
doomed in New York by any new concern
bought especially for that purpose. lie Is
already very popular with all the New York
press, and he has things written about him
without end. and In the most hattering vein
Mr. Shepard will no doubt support Mr.. Depew
for the presidency in his paper, but he has
probably bought II more for a diversicn ior
himself and the Vanderbilt family than for
any other cause, George Vanderbilt,
w. H. Nanderbilt's youngest son, is
ND to have literary tastes. lie
will probably be heard from In the columns
VI his brother.inlaws journal. Mr.. Cornelius
Vanderbilt also has certain ideas he would be
pleased to have promulgated in some respect
able manner, and he, too, will probably seek
he columns Of the Mail and Express. Fred.
erick X. Vanderbilt is one member of the fam
lily who will not take much interest In the new
family organ. His taste runs more In the line
of cooks than newspapers, and his spare time
for the present will no doubt be taken M
mainly with the ten thousand dollar chef he Is

OPPOSING ANNEXATION.
Reasons Why the Territory of Idah'
Should Not BE Robbed.


Senator Cullom, in behalf of the minority
Of the committee on territories, yesterday
presented report opposing the annexation
Of the Panhandle of Idaho to Washington
territory, and favoring the admission into
the Union of the territory of Washington
with its present boundaries The report
says that the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Idaho ter
ritoiy is alleged to he contrary to the wishes
of the delegates in Congress and the terri
torial officers, and of twenty-seven out of
thirty-one newspapers in the territory.
Issue is taken with the statement In thema-
jority report that insuperable obstacles stand
in the way of free communication between
north and south Idaho, and the statement
is made that the barriers between the two
portions of the territory never were insuper-
able and that they have been practically re-
moved by roads and contiguous settlements.
The report continues: "This bugbear of
which so much is sought to be made dissa-
pears before the advancement of the pio-
neers, and no honest and intelligent OBJ
server, who will acQuaint himself with the
facts, will risk his reputation In urging 1t as
cause for separation"
Idaho, the report says, is entirely capable
Of becoming great commonwealth entitled
to statehood, and this attempt to ''ruthlessly
take away one-fourtb of the most valua-
Bile part of the territory is declared to have
been made with the hope that ''she will
readily fall into the pit dug for her by her
ambitious neighbors," and ask to have the
remainder of her territory parceled out
among the adjacent states and territories.
A bill to carry out the views Of the minor
ity accompanies their report.
