DEVELOPMENT OF THE LINE.
How Much 1t Cost and the Means of Con-
structiOn.

The completion of the first practical con-
tinuous telephone line between New York
and Chicago is due to the untiring energy
and determination of +. J. Hall, vice pre- 81
dent and ge.-eral manager of the Bell Tele-
phone. For fourteen years Mr. Hall has
been endeavo-ing to perfect n long-distance
telephone. While other electricians have
frequently declared that the possibilities
of the telephone were limited to from 200
to 800 miles, Mr. Hall has insisted that it
should be just easy to converse betwC n
New York and Chicago as between two
local Offices.
Between Gotham and Philadelphia.
The first practical demonstration of his
belief in long-distance telephoning was the
successful opening OF line between New
York and Philadelphia, which was put in
operation in 1855 This Ene was severely
tested during the great blizzard in ISIS,
when all the telegraph wires between New
York and Phiiadt lphia were down, and the
newspapers of both cities We're compelled
to depend entirely upon the long-distance
telephone for the exchange of news. Many
columns of news were spoken" over the
wire, and il proved in every way salts
factory,
Five Million Dollars Invested.
So severe test encouraged Hr Hall and
his associates, and renewed experiments
were made with view to still further ex-
tendiAg the long distance lines. a line was
run to Boston, and subsequently, the Phila-
delphia line was extended to Pittsburg.
Buffalo was also reached by way of Albany
and Troy. During the past year the project
of connecting New York with Chicago oy
telephone was vigorously pushed, and all
the wire has been strung IN that time. In
It's completed condition the new long-diis-
lance telephone represents an expenditure

DEFEAT THE RESOLUTION.

The resolution authorizing the city clerk
to make search for all delinquent taxes
back to 1872, now pending before the coun-
Gil, with view of having suits instituted
to collect the same ought to be defeated.
1t will be expensive work for the city with
out any good results. While there may
be some delinquent taxes due the
city as far back as 1872, the
payment thereof will fall upon
the present property holders unjustly.
These taxes were levied against property
that has long since changed hands and
very many if not all of those who then
owned the property. are either dead or can
not be found. This city and county has
had sufficient foolishness and useless
expense already over law suits
concerning taxes long delinquent.
The examination of these old records may
furnish employment fora number of hang
ers-on out of job, but it will result in
nothing more to this city. lit covered
only a few recent years it might have some
semblance of good sense. but as it is, it de-
serves defeat.

WHERE IS JAY GoULD9

Rev. w. R, Goodwin, of Chicago, gave
utterance to the following in his sermon
last Sunday:
"If Jay Gould is in heaven-I don't be-
lieve he is, but he may be, for the ways OF
God are strange-f Jay Gould is in heaven
he must be lonely for there is none there
to welcome him, not one whose last hours
were made brighter by his generosity or
care"
In other words, of Jay Gould is in
heaven, DR.. Goodwin will be somewhat
disappointed in God. The truth of the
matter is that the Rev. Mr.. Goodwin does
not know what he is talking about. or else
he is fond of falsifylng in the pulpit. Ex-
Governor John P, st. John has Just writ
ten to a Kansas newspaper to say that in
1880, when the settlers in Western Kansas
were threatened with starvation, he wrote
to the late Jay Gould about it and Mr..
Gould sent him a contribution of $4,000.
Gould also sent the Howard Association
5000 per week to continue its work among
the yellow fever patients of Memphis. He
spent thousands of dollars elsewhere in
silent charity, the facts of which are Just
coming out. Jay was sort of financial
Robin Hood. Ifhe robbed the rich, he gave
to the poor, and employed thousands ofmen.
He is in heaven all right, and there is
whole heap of his detractors who will
never see him there, including some of the
editors who have been writing two col
Umn vituperative editorials about him.

WANT A RAISE.

Judge Forney, of Alabama, Mr.. Herbert,
of Alabama, Mr.. Peel of Arkansas, Mr..
Blount, Of Georgia and Mr.. Lanham, of
Texas, are not coming back to congress
any more after next session. They say
they are wearing their lives out in the
public service without being able to ac-
oumulate anything for the general sup
port of their families. They contend that
$4,000 a year will not pay the expenses in
Washington of any member of congress
with family. Poor fellowsl 1t will be
noted that thsy are all from that part of
the country that wants to cut down the
union soldiers pensions. Doubtless the
salary of $4,000 year is more than they
could earn at home, but after some fellows
get to Washington they begin to put on
airs and imagine themselves great brainy
men. Five thousand dollars a year is
about $3.50 per day. If a member of con-
gress cannot stagger along on that sum, in
addition to his mileage for railway travel,
when he has his pocket full of passes, he
may rest assured that the people of this
country will not stand raise at this time,
