THE MODEL TELEPHoNE.

Sweden illustrates the advantage of
having telephone system free from
the monopoly features. The rates are
so low that it's use in the towns is almost
universal, and it is generally extended
to stores and many residences in the
country. The system there is said to be
more perfect than IN any other country
in the world. Possibly the time will
come in this country when this infant
industry can survive with less protec-

TIE Australian election law adopted
in Missouri has the peculiar feature
that no person can be recognized as a
candidate unless nominated by party
that polled at least 3 per cent of the ag-

Under this rule there would be no way
for new party to get into the field. 1t
would give the old parties monopoly.

IT Is an interesting fact in life in
surance that the man who is already in
sured is often easier to secure for an
additional amount than he who has
never yet been a policy holder. The
one has learned by personal observation
the need and value of this indemnity;
the other, though perhaps promising
subject, is not always as likely to have
studied and discovered the advantages
of life insurance. Of course there is a
limit to the quantity that even the most
earnest believer will allow written upon
his life, but the rule nevertheless holds
good that the clear-headed business men
who already carry policies to mod
crate extent are often the quickest to
accept an additional amount of life in
Surance.

The reportorial artist of the GLOBE

SOME of the Republican papers in
North Dakota most unreasonably find
fault with the Democrats for generally
following their example and nominating
two candidates for the three seats in the
constitutional convention from each dis
trict. There is no occasion for this crit
icism. In districts where the Repub-
licans have the majority they will elect
two men, and the Democrats but one.
The latter will have one man left out.
This is quite apt to happen at elections.
There are generally more candidates
than Offices. 1t does not concern the
Republicans at all as to the number of
candidates the minorities run in Dakota.
The majority will elect it's two men.
1T is reported from Washington that
the president has invited DUDLEY to
call upon him at his convenience. 1t is
probable that he would have been adj
mitted at any time if he had come to an
unObserved door in the rear. The pres
ident doesn't dislike DUDLEY, but the
public is prejudiced against the s'blocks
Of five'' system, and HARRISON didn't
want to be seen in his company. If he
has now invited him, his conscience
may have prlcked at accepting the re-
suit of DUDLEY's work and cutting him.
That course was ungrateful and illog-
zeal.
The violent winds of late, with the
absence of rain. have been a serious
matter in the hard wheat belt. 1t will
be remembered that the farmers there
suffered in similar way last year. If
the use of the drill in sowing will
nearly eliminate this peril, it would
seem to be the recourse to be had. In
many seasons it would have no advan-
tage, perhaps, but the chances of dam
aging winds are too great to be risked.

Canada has an interesting problem in
the increase of the French population
there. In 1853 the French Canadians
numbered but 80 900; to-day they num-
Der 2 ,25O 900. In their competition with
the British race they have surpassed them
in natural increase. The average French
Canadian household averages nine

eighteen are common. At the present
rate of increase the year A. ID. 1000
should see 25 ZOO, 900 French Canadians
