Telephone rates in Canada are much
lower than here. According to the New
York Nation the Bell Telephone Company
charges but $25 year for the use of tele-
phones in both offices and residences in
Montreal Can it be that the patent has
expired in Canadas One effect of the de-
crease Of rates has been an enormous in
crease Of subscribers. In that city alone
the Bell company has 5000 subscribers,
while the Federal company has $500 sub
scribers. Such reduction of tolls would
probably prove profitable here besides
greatly facilitating the transaction of bust
ness by putting larger number of people
in telephonic communication.

Enthusiasm sometimes reaches a very high
pitch in the Arkansas legislature. But
the eager enthusiasts didn't pitch high
enough when they got to pitching inkstands
and loaded spittoons the other day. During
the course of the proceedings several unob-
trusive members who were not engaged in
the debate were literally soaked in a con-
glomerate solution of writing fluid and
AMBER. Whea the pugnacious members
were arralgned for that sort of liquid argu-
ment it must have afforded mighty little
satisfaction to the soggy and rueful mem
bers who did not participate in the hostil>
tiles. but were nevertheless shedding a
savory slop at every jump to have the sans
culinary combatants calmly explain that
they meant no disrespect by bathing all
their neighbors in that sort of resounding
moisture. Still, it is perfectly right to be
polite,

streeter's Address.

Streeter, the farmers allianceman who
was beaten for senator in Illinois, has done
a very unwise thing in issuing an address
condemning Messrs. Moore and Cockrell for
voting for Gen. Palmer. The address serves
no good purpose, and it will have the effect
of creating discussions among the farmers
organizations of the state.
There are three members OF the Farmers
Mutual Benefit Association in the legislat-
ure. Two of them were originally demo-
Gratis. and one arepublican. Messrs. Moore
and Cockrell are the ones who were demo-
Gratis. They tried for two months to elect
Mr.. Streeter, who is a Farmers Mutual
Benefit Association man, and failed. They
concluded that they had done all they could
for him, and that their duty then required
them to vote for a democrat There is no
doubt that the majority of the members of
the Farmers Mutual Benefit Association
will approve of what they did, though those
of republican antecedents will probably
condemn them.
Gen. Palmer will be good senator, not
withstauding the fe ct that he is 70 years
old. He is a very vigorous old man, and
will make his presence felt in the Senate.
When young man ne was a democrat.
During the war period, and for several
years after the war, ne was a republican,
and was elected governor of Illinois by the
Republican party. He left that party years
ago, however. and is now a stanch demo
GRAFT And he has some views that are in
harmony with those of the farmers alliance.
The farmers will have little cause to find
fault with him.

Iconoclast Ignatius Donnelly is happy

burn~Sabin battle of ''boodle' is literally
covering the Minnesota politicians with
malodorous mud and seems to afford the
great crvptogram inventor infinite satisfac-
ton to know just how it happened that his
name did not markedly electrify that legis-
lature with enthusiasm. Why he should
have been so completely ''lost in the push"
as it were, has always mystified Ignatius
greatly. All of his nodes efforts at insin-
uating funds into his persuasions we're met
with such an undisguised lack of delight
that be could not understand it until he
heard the story of the magnificent transac-
lions of his hated rivals. Yet the reflection
that he was participant only in a small
way in traffic of so questionable a charac-
ter should not afford him unalloyed salts

Pie has caused many direful calamities,
but the New York youth who shot off the
top of his head the other day was the first
person on record who was actually suffering
for cake to such degree that life became
a bowling wilderness to him when his
mother refused to give him cake. Had he
eaten the cake first he might then have had
some sort of reason for reckless desperation.
Still his view of the matter was rather a
handsome tribute TO the style aud finish of
the lady's cake.

When it comes to utilizing funerals as a

have got down to pretty low grade of des-

the entire salaries OF twice as many seua-
tors for their whole term of six years.

Paying for massaging his wifsls neck

claim is exorbitant. 1t is probably based
upon the presumption that Mrs. Hunting
ton would not care TO have the details Of
such transaction recited in court Since
the massage woman is the former wife of

Vigorous pounding after the prevailing
custom on New York elevated trains failed
to arouse a reclining passenger the other

him the whole vocabulary of L persuasion"

savage jerk that Strengthened him up, and
then with Comanche whoop the ''urbane

out of the car and broke for the street
below. One glance had shown him that the
passenger was dead SuchNa look before
treating the man so brutally would prob
ably have shown the same thing without
soaring the guard into spasm of guilty

the mans death from some sitting COM

Reducing alegislative majority by charg-
ing the commission OF criminal offense
upon a member is quite new but rather
desperate and dangerous expedient. But
the Michigan republicans are in bad fix
aud they're evidently determined to get rid
of democratic senator by some means. So
the poor, ignorant Petoskey squaw was
probably induced to make a charge of
bigamy against Senator Friedlander, be-
cause no res ectable white woman, with full
knowledge of the consequences, could have
been induced to lend herself to such a
scheme. 1t sounds altogether improbable.
Desperate efforts of plausible politicians
of tn" republican explaining bureau to make
the public believe that the extravaganza
plundering of the treasury by the last con-
gress was partly due to the payment of
debts contracted by the Cleveland admins
tratIon are altogether too transparent to de-
ceive even the most credulous. They fail
to specify single debt entailed upon this
administration by the one preceding. In
the absence of specific statements such
claims cannot be credited.
