Astonishingly Successful Experiments Be-
tween New York and CbicagO-A Giant
Rival for the BELL Monopoly-An Au-

trpl.''
New YORK, Feb. 11.-Tests Of new
magnetic telephone were made between
New York and Chicago last evening in
the presence of representatives of the
Western Telephone Construction Co.
and officials of the several telegraph
and telephone companies. Connection
was made with the Chicago long dis
tance line through Wall-street off ce,
and an Office in the Monadnock block,
Chicago, at which latter point large
number of persons interested in the
telephone situation were sembled.
The present Bell telephone and the
new magnetic telephone were used al
ternately and the results were aston
ishingly in favor of the latter. The
instruments OF the new telephone
showed remarkable clearness n talk
ing. A number of experts in tele
phony who were present pronounced
the results obtained from the magnetic
instrument to be highly satisfactory
and prophecied that it would displace
the old form entirely.
The new magnetic telephone is con.
trolled by the Western Telephone Con
struction Co, Chicago, which was
started in opposition to the Bell COM
pahy a year ago, and has already at
tanned giant proportions. This com.
pany is at present putting in tele-
phones in mum Der Of western cities,
including Racine, Oshkosh, Sheboygan
and Madison, Wis; Albert Lea, MINI.
Benford, Ind. and has had telephone
exchange in operation at La Porte,
Ind, for the past year.
The. exchange apparatus of the new
telephone involves a new principle of
operation, being automatic, SO that the
central Office operating service is done
away with. Each telephone user, by
the touch of button automatically
connects his line with any other line
in the system without calling up Cen
tral.
The president of the new company,
Mr.. j. Z. Keelyn, has closed arrange
ments for the extensive use of these
telephones by some large telegraph
companies.

in two on the question of imposing an
income tax, and it begins to look as
though it would be unable to put
through such a measure. As the burn

nocracy is to get sufficient revenue to
run the government, why don't they
profit by the experience of the repub-

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Feb. 11.-Con-
gressman Wilson. of West Virginia,
did not speak here last night nor did
he partake of the very handsome ban
quet provided at the Midland hotel by
local democrats. tremendous audi
ence was disappointed in consequence.
At Z o'clock last night DIR. Porter, a
local physician, positively forbade Mr..
Wilson to leave his room. His physical
condition was such. the doctor said, to
venture out would be exceedingly
dangerous.
Mr.. Wilson, accompanied by his wife
and youngest daughter and Congress
man John c. Tarsney, arrived at the
Union depot over the Santa Fe rail
way from Chicago at 9 o'clock yestcr-
dav morning. Mr.. Wilson was quite
sick, and it was against his physicians
advice that he made the journey to
this city.
i Immediately after break fast Mr. Will
son went to bed, where he remained
until noon. From to 6 o'clock yes
terday afternoon he held a reception
at the Coates hotel. There were many
callers
Mr.. Wilson is enthusiastic over the
passage of his bill. He predicts that
great benefits will result from its en-
actment into law. He says every
congressional district in West Virginia
will be democratic after the next cleo
ton. The Wilson bill will pass the
senate by comforta bic majority, he
thinks. He is not so sanguine con-
cerning the passage of the income tax
measure. He expects considerable op-
position to it in the senate and so
will not venture to prophecy IFS fate.
If enacted it will help out the
estimated deficiency in the revenue OF
5000, 900 to be caused by the passage
of the Wilson bill, to the extent of $780,
600, 900, but Mr.. Wilson does not con
slider Its passage indispensable, as he
claims that his bill will in short
time supply sufficient revenue.
Mr.. Wilson will remain in the city
to-day, and will proceed on his jour
ney-his health permitting Monday
morning. His trouble is tonsilitis

AN IMPORTANT DEFEAT.
Good Work Being Done by the RepNb-
licxn MinOritv,

Good Work Being Done by the Rep~b-
lican Minority.
The administration has been soundly
beaten in the house, as it was in the
ways and means committee, by ma
jority of its own partisans. Sensible
that an income tax would be odious
and might defeat it's pet tariff, the adj
ministration tried in the house to over
turn the decision Of the committee
against the tariff on raw sugar. But
by a large majority the house has de-
cided against any duty on raw sugar,
rejected the gradual decrease of sugar
bounty proposed by the committee. and
even voted to take off all duty from
refined sugar. Being thus defeated In
a democratic house, the administration
end of the democratic party resorts to
whining, as usual, blaming its political
opponents for it's defeat, as il they
were under any obligation to help it to
pass measure breaking down Amer
lean industries. Whatever merit it
may have, this end of the democratic
party is indisputably the meaner and
less manly one. Its pitiful appeals TO
republicans for help, aud whining at
republicans when they decline, are apt
to make it known as the cry-baby
democracy, just as it is already the
cuckoo democracy.
Mr.. Reed ard his republican asso-
ciates in the house can be trusted to
beat the free traders as often as they
have power and as badly as they can.
From time immemorial it has been a
feature of legitimate parliamentary
tactics to load down hostile measure
with amendments which may sink it.
Repu blicans are not engaged in help
ing the free traders to make the tariff
acceptable to majority in the house
or the senate and if they can vote into
it amendments which will kill the bill,
the president and Chairman Wilson
may expect to see it killed. For the
democratic party has deliberately made
war on American industry, and with a
strong democratic majority in both
houses Of congress. If that majority
cannot be induced to agree upon any
revenue duty sufficiently to command a
quorum for it, the stanch and faithful
defenders Of home industry ought to
prevail. At all events, administration
whining will not avail in the least to
lessen the shrewdness or the vigor Of
their defense.
1t is generally understood that the
defeat Of the sugar duty, which the adj
ministration faction has constantly
favored as compensation for the
heavy protective duties to be removed.
means that majority in the house viii
favor making the income tax part of
the tariff bill. 1t belongs in that
measure, if it is to 60 through any
where, for it is shameless performances
to pass by itself bill processing to
raise revenue which would create q
deficit of seventy-fve million dollars, to
be met by some other measure of un-
known provisions. But it is also said
that many democrats will not vote for
the income tax, even if it should be
made part of the tariff bill. Very we'll,
the hearts Of millions of American
| workers, who wait in vain for work to-
day, would not be sore if democratic
disagreement should put an end to the
warfare against their industry. IN. Y.

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.
Home Thrust for the Democracy from
Democrat.

A Home Thrust for the Democracy from
Democrat.
Among the many expressions of dis
gust by democrats over the course of
their president and congress at WASH
more expressive and comprehensive
than this from the Cincinna i Enquirer,
the leading organ of the democratic
party in Ohio:
THE latest authorized version of the
democratic creed was promulgated at
Chicago in 1892. Did that state that
silver was to be discontinued as a
money metal and that gold should be
the only standard of value?
IF SO, the administration is certainly
democratic and deserves the indorse-
ment Of every member of the party.
"Did the Chicago platform authorize
the overthrow of republics and the re-
establishment of thrones. scepters and
crowns by aid Of United States authori-
ties2
"lf so, the enthusiastic support of
every democrat should be given to
those engaged in carrying out the plat
form.
did that platform demand that tax
alton should be increased and burdens
be imposed greater ethan protective re-
publicans had laid on?
IF SO, those who frame revenue bills
extorting from the people millions
more than now taken. and propose is
sue of bonds to add to collections
for interest are true to the party faith
and their fidelity is fully demon
strated.
did the platform declare for the
retention of repu blican clerks and Of
fceholders and the appointment Of
mugwumps to Offices Of trust and profit
whilst honest faithful democrats, vet
Grams of many campaigns, should not
have the places their efforts won?
'If SO, the praise for those in power
should be unstinted, as they have un-
doubtedly done all this.
Democrats of Ohio. Indiana and
Kentucky, was this your platform in
1892"
1t might be added that John r. Nc
Lean. the proprietor of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, has not been a candidate for
any Office in the gift of his party, and
his indictment is the expression of a
democrat of independent ideas and
courageous conviction.-Alba Jour

of the present bill claim that they
possess the 43 votes necessary to pass
the bill. If they do why not put 1t to
vote?
The fact is, the Democratic managers
know that they cannot control the neces-
sary number of votes, and they are hop
ing against hope that by means of fiat
terry, and intimidation of every sort, from
the Withholding of patronage to the
more open methods OF absolute threats,
to compel the dissenting Democrats to
unite with the majority.
The Republican members are discuss
ing the bill with the hope of so amend
ing it that it will become fairly protec-
tive before the final vote is taken, and
this is the nearest TO the passage or tue
bill that the Democrats have arrived at
in the six weeks OF debate.
1t is no nearer settlement
today than it was six weeks ago save so
far as the lapse of time is concerned, and
the predictions of settlement seem TO
have less basis today than they did be
fore Senator Hill made the famous
speech against the bill. The best way
TO settle the discussion is to kill the bill,
which suits neither party, represents no
principle and which will destroy the
business interests of the North if it
becomes a law.

and especially when he takes advantage
OF his position to thrust upon others re-
marks that are not justified by the facts
and which have 40 foundation other
than his own diseased Imagination ana
his desire TO sneer at the greatness &c
can little comprehend.
Such men unfortunately exist, and
accordingly it surprises no one TO read ~
The Journal this morning that "our
present ENHANCEMENT with Samoa is
one of the last surviving relics OF
Mr., Blaine's vigorous foreign policy. :"
Leaving aside discussion Of the ami
mus which is apparent in this sneer and
dealing with the statement rs state
ment of an alleged fact, il is surprising
10 note how ill-informed the author of 1t
must be on current politics. ii was Mr..
Cleveland and Secretary Bayard, no,
Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. Blaine, who under.
took the Samoa settlement. To be sure,
the tri-partite agreement was concluded
under the Harrison administration, but
it was legacy left that administration
by the Cleveland-Bayard government,
not one of its own seeking.
Thus it was not an ''entanglement"
resulting from Mr. Blaine's policy but
from Mr.. Clevelands.
The Journal cares little for facts
when it can get an opportunity to sneer,
but when one remembers that it has
been one of the leading supporters in the
East of Mr.. Cleveland, and has done
nothing night or day for some years ex
cept preach Cleveland, it is a little
astonishing that it should care to
refer, so as to invite comparison, to a
previous administration noted for
its fealty 10 America and Americans.
Supporting man who is responsible for
the Hawaiian infamy; who allows
American citizens to be shot down in
cold blood before the eyes of their fami-
lies in Buefelds, without raising finger;
valuable concession in the Pacific, it Is
surprising to see such paper even
allude to a government under whose adj
ministration the stars and stripes meant
protection first, last and all the time;
whose chief fault if it be fault was
that intense Americanism which sought
10 make the nation the greatest
on earth; which devised the means OF
extending our commercial relations
without abandoning our home market;
and which stood for the rights of an
American citizen wherever found.
A paper which can support a Cleve-
land and IA Gresham, must necessarily
sneer at Harrison and Blaine.
