A New Use fer the Telephone
Qarper's Weekly)

There is a story In he newspapers
which seems 10 be intended to be taken
seriously. about the telephone newspaper
which has been working successfully ftr
two years at Pesth. Hungary. IL Is
called the Telephone Herald. has 5000
subscribers. costs 2 cents. and issues
twenty-eight editions oamy y specia.
wire lGS mics long connects with It's
subscribers, IN whose houses long. neN
bic wires permit the receivers to be car
ried from room TO room. AT the ONCE
Of the Journal ten men with strong
voices take turn In taking the
news into the telephones. This modern
Journal makes all It's deliverances 10 it,
subscribers according 10 a stated SEIZED
rle which lets them know what
to expect at stated hours OF the day. II
xiyes them the Geographic news duIy and
carefully edited. toe local news, articles
on various subjects. and whatever other
newspapers have. When there is nothing
more important TO communicate. the sub
scribers are entertained by vocal and in
strumental music. sometimes dseoursed
for their especial benefit, some lines
gathered from concert halls or churches
where music Is going on.
II all this really happens at Pesth. and
not In the moon. Pesth must be the
finest place for iiliterate, blind. bed
ridden. and incurably lazy people In the
word II would not appear, however.
that telephone newspaper In OF value
as time-saving device or that ~ Is any
less devastating TO the faculties than a
modern journal which distributes Its
news In the ordinary way.

TIE MANITOBA SITUATION.

Manitoba is in feverish condition
and religious feeling is running high up
there over the school question-about
the only important question nowadays
in which religious sentiments openly
clash.
Originally Manitoba had two-fold
sys EN- of public school education di-
rected by separate inspectors and SUI
peTintendents, Protestant aud Roman
Citholic, but in 1890 the single system
was adopted, substantially as it exists
in the United States, the population Of
Manitoba being very largely OF the Prot
estant faiths. The Catholics, however,
demanded restoration OF the old system
of dual government of the schools.
claiming constitutional right, and.
after long controversy, the privy
council of England decided in their fa-
vor. The Manitoba legislature, how
ever, refused to submit to the opinion of
the home authority, and local feeling
was reused against the mother country,
much as il was in the days of the Boston
tea party. That Is the Manitoba question
in a nutshell.
For twenty-five years Manitoba, the
"Red River Settlement" has been a
distinct province, enjoying, practically,
the independence of sovereign
state, and IL is not disposed
to take commands either from
the Dominion Government or that
OF England itself. Manitoba, in popula-
tion and temperament, is more like its
neighbor TO the south, Minnesota. than
it is like its sister provinces in Canada.
OF course the Dominion GOVERNMENT. OF

when Santa Anna led desperate charge
against the American center, where
Taylor stood with his little band, for q
time carrying everything before him.
The volunteers of the front line were
overwhelmed and in danger of annihila-
tion by tho Mexioans, who gave no
quarter. Taylor turned all his guns
upon the charging column. The Mexi-
can lancers were hurled down the sleeps
in their recoil from the American can
non, and on the plain where they had
fearlessly rode in they were overtaken
by q storm of iron hail which tore their
ranks numerically. At that the Mexi-
can infantry began to waver. "Now, I"
said Taylor to Bragg whose battery
was at hand, "a leetle more grape. CAP

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

His Excellency d. RUSSELL Brown
made good suggestion to the Bank
Clerks Association, at the big annual
meeting and banquet of that body last
evening, that ought to bear fruit.
Referring to the lack of State laws
controlling and protecting banking in
terests of one kind and another, and the
interests of the people who
deal with the institutions, the Cover
nor observed that Rhode Island is not
doing her duty 10 the savings banks and
the public for there are coming to this
State organizations, which appeal to the
saving portion of our people, of whose
responsibility and condition we do not
know SO much as we should.
"You gentlemen" suggested His Ex-
csllency, "may do much to secure legis-
lation that will give to State banks and
building associations the supervision that
aid the legitimate ones and protect
against fraud. / ask you to make
known to the General Assembly your
views upon this matter. You have
much influence. for you are all aware
hat during the last few years you have
added two new holidays to your annual
list and secured 12 o'clock closing on
Saturdays"
We wish the Governor might have
spoken at greater length on this matter,
but he was present more to extend
welcome than to make a speech, ample
timo being reserved to the gentlemen
from abroad who were expected to and
did address the Association at length.
The suggestion, brief as it was, ought
20 bear fruit, however. AS to the con-
dition of things, that is a matter Of
common knowledge and probably the
bank clerks need no light on the sub
ject. Governor BROWN and his prede-
cessors have devoted space in their
messages to the matter, and
tho General Assembly has had
it before them in various
forms on several occasions. Ii seems to
pj that no organization can find a
more apt public duty than the Bank
Clerks in taking hold of this ques-
tion of the building and loan and savings
bank laws and supervision in Rhode Is
land. 1t is worthy of their careful study
and aggressive interest. Our savings
banks have let go $3,000,000 and some
part of this has doubtless gone into out
side investments, and concerns, building
associations, represented in this State,
the management of which are free from
any State control. We should think the
Assembly and the public would listen
with the utmost respect to anything the
Bank Clerks have to say on this matter.
and we should think the Association
would find IL distinctly in their prov
ince to take hold of it. Perhaps il
might furnish profitable topic for dis
cussion at some future meeting.

the British Empire, could crush Mani
toba II it chose to, but such an action
would not be ia accord with Great
Britian's colonial policy OF the past haif
century. Non-coercion has been the
aim and object in Great Britia'l's treat
ment of her colonies in recent times.
Religious strife is always hot in the
Canadian provinces and is always 10 be
counted on in its politics. Outside OF
Protestant Manitoba, nearly one-half
the population Is of the Roman Catholic
faith, and the Frenchmen and the Irish
men Catholics have a good deal IN
antagonism, uniting only on religion.
The Protestants are largely Orangemen
and the Battle of the Boyne is an ever
present recollection with them. La
Canada's school system the religious
differences are represented, but Mani
toba claims the right to do as shepleases
in the educational matters as she does
in all other civil matters, although the
Dominion constitution, while permitting
the framing of Independent laws in the
provinces; RESERVES certain points in re-
gard to education in order to secure pro-
lection for religious minorities."
Archbishop LANGEyAN, by authority of
the Pope, it is reported, has now issued
an ultimatum for the Catholics, an
nouncng that all persons of the faith
who lend aid and influence to the single
supervision movement will be excommu-
nicated, and this is calculated to divide
the controversy on strictly religious
lines, If it was not so before.
