Not So Roseate.


With faction quarrels in Ohio and New
York, coupled with bad legislation in each,
particularly IN the Empire State where Re-
publican 'purity" has proved even worse than
Tammany 'rascality, and with an nnwieldy
majority in the next House of Representatives
the Republican party prospects for next year
are anything but roseate.
The great and wide difference Of opinion
among the Republicans in the next Congress
upon finance, the income tax and tariff legis-
laiion is likely to so distract and divide the
party that it cannot be united sufficiently TO
win in 1896. The overwhelming Republican
majority in the House viii prove an element
of weakness. Large maiorities develop too
many leaders. These statesmen will be
coming to the front with all sorts of make
every body prosperous and happy legisla-
ton. and they viii not down at the bidding of
the older and more conservative members.
They will press their schemes with vigor and
persistence that will prolong the session far
into next summer, cause business uneasiness
and general disgust. The country is now last
recovering from the depression that followed
the passage of the Mckinley tariff act and the
Sherman silver bullion purchase law, and the
people will make short work ofany set OF poll
ticians that viii undertake to retard progress
BY any radical legislation.
A year ago the Republicans were in high
glee. Today they are not 50 hopeful. and the
conservative element is positively appreheu-
sive that Congress may still further jeopariize
success by division, if it does not positively
make victory impossible.

TO FIGHT THE BELL COMPANY
The Organization of Telephone Con-
struction Concerns.
From the Baltimore News.


The Ne,rS on Saturday published dispatch
from Chicago stating that a secret conference
of the manufacturers of telephone apparatus
held in that city recently had resulted in the
formation of National Telephone Protective
Association. Investigation develops the fact
that the conference was held in response to
circular letter issued to the various manufac-
turers of telephone plants in the United States
at the instance of the Western Telephone Con-
struction Company. Mr.. J. E. keelyn of this
company was named for president of the new
organization. The Western Telephone Con
struction Company has constructed telephone
plants in a number of the smaller cities and
towns of the West and South, and at some
points has entirely supplanted the American
Bell Telephone Company. 1t has greatly IN
creased the use of telephones in these sections
by reducing the price and increasing the serv-
ice. 1t viii send lis agents to Baltimore this
week or next 10 examine the territory here
preparatory TO making an estimate for the
construction of the plant of the Home Iele-
phone Company.

and purposes of the new Association, Will be

gagged in the developing of an improved switch
