BLACKMAILERs ON TRIAL.
Famous Lebaudy Cases Come Up Be-
fore the French Courts.

PARIS, March 9-The trial of Ar
mand Rosenthal Jacques st. Ce),
Count Lionel Werther de Cesti, M.
Balonsi, a banker Uric de Civry,
formerly editor Of the Echo de PArmee,
millionaire, who died recently in the
Poidenar de Labruyere, and M. Szyd-
oWski, charged with blackmailing
Max Lebaudy, the young millionaire,
who died recently in the military
hospital at Amelie les Rains, out of
large sums Of money and by the most
cruel frauds, was commenced here to-
day. Rosenthal was formerly con-
nected with the Paris Figaro, and was
correspondent in this city for a New
York newspaper. During his later days
Lebaudy was defended against his enc
mics by Mile. Marsy, the well known
Partisan actress, to whom he wished
to leave his fortune, and who refused
to accept it. Each charge will be eX-
amined separately, and the case prom
ises to be interesting, although it is
believed that nearly all the facts in the
case have already been made public,
and they show that Uric de Civry
alone must have defrauded the young
conscript out of over a million francs.
The brothers de Civry were the first to be
examined.
Mile Marsy the actress, to whom Lebaudy
left his fortune, was present, attired in deep
mourning. She testified that M. Lebaudy told
her that the de Civrys attacked him because

testified that Joseph de Cvry's attitude be-
iikened his having asked a favor Of Lebaudy
and that he had been refused.

WATERWAYS VS.. RAILWAYS.

The New Orleans papers are COM
pairing the receipts of corn at that
port for foreign shipment, for the
season of 1895, with that Of 1894. and
are again indulging that dream. so
tangible, apparently, and yet SO elu-
sive, of the great surplus products of
northwestern farms floating down the
mississippi, and yielding their mite of
tribute to that port in their passage
to feed the Eastern world. Immedi-
ately after the war, SO natural did this
route seem, so certain of being utilized,
that experienced grain men went from
Milwaukee and invested in elevators
In New Orleans to handle and transfer

not been multiplied or had their rates
remained stationary the vision might
have been realized. and the invest
ments proved profitable. But forces
beyond the control of railway man
ayers pushed rates steadily downward.
so that even the barges, that had su-
perseded the steamboats, in freightage
on the river. could not countervail the
artificial current created by the rail-
ways, that carried produce across the
country by rail, instead OF running on
the line of least resistance down the
river.
Climatic conditions, too, came in to
deter shipments by way Of the gulf.
but these would have been overcome
If that had been the economic route
Whlle the river has never carried what
1t was expected to, the millions spent
by the general government in improy-
ing it's navigation have not been vast
ed; for the lakes on the north and the
river, tapping the grain region, have
operated as a check on rates, and fixed
points above which they could not go
Like the pop-valve on the boiler, they
have not been useless because they
were silent. The figures given by the
New Orleans papers illustrate this. The
shipments CT corn through that port
for the period between Oct. 6 and Dec
29, 1894, Were but 157 ,436 bushels; in the
same period in 1895 they were 5,452, 1929.
While it is true that the railways ter
minating there from the North car
ried the mhst of this, the influence of
the river must have been determin-
ative in their rates. So, while all the
natural freight routes, the waterways,
are paralleled by railways, and while
the latter carry by far the larger guam
tity of the produce of the West, still
the lakes and rivers stand, silent, aus
tere and inflexible,t guardians over
freight rates, saying to them, thus
high thou mayst go, but no higher.

A STRANGE COMPLICATION.

Out of the failure last year of the
TWO banks that had a monopoly of the
note issues of the Province of New
foundland, there have come strange
complications. Newfoundland never
entered into the Dominion of Canada.
1t retained it's independence and is.
therefore. not connected with the ju-
dietary system of the dominion. It is
also equally independent Of that of
England, save as to some matters
Where appeals lie to the privy coun-
GIL When the banks failed it was
round that the officers had squandered
or imprudently invested not only the
capital of the banks, but the money of
the depositors. The only currency of
the colony was the issues of these
banks. The failure involved a general
ruin. Everybody, high and low, rich
and poor, was affected The indigna-
ton against the bank officers was in
tense, and the result was their indict-
ment on charges of making false state
ments of the banks condition.
The court before which they must
be brought for trial consists of the
three supreme court judges Each of
THESE Is not only a depositor in the
banks, with an overdrawn account. but
IS also director in one or the other
bank. They are also holders of some
OF the notes Of the banks. This clearly
d1squalifies them from presiding at the
trial. No jury could be impaneled in
the island whose members were not
either noteholders or depositors, or
who had not, in some way, SO suffered
from the failure as to make them sub
Ject to challenge for interest or bias.
The impossibility of securing an Impair
tial jury renders nugatory the propo-
s1t1on OF Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary
for the colonies, to send out a trial
judge from England. Dominion judges
have no jurisdiction in the island. A
Legislature authorize the trial before
three judges from England or Canada,
without a jury, but the ministry are
reluctant to father measure that vio-
lates the hereditary reverence for jury
trials, as well as provincial pride. One
unpleasant result of this unfortunate
situation, for which there seems to be
no solution, is the opinion frequently
expressed, that there is no justice for
criminals if they are rich. The prev
alence of this is shown by the acquittal
of persons charged with minor offenses
for the reason, given privately by the
jurors, that, if the bank directors are
allowed to escape, all criminals should
also go free. 1t is a very peculiar sit
uation, and the solution of it, if found,
will be one Of exceptional interest be-
yond the confines of the province.

FOREIGN TELEPHONE SERVICE

In the chronic disposition of the
American to demand the cheapening Of
everything he has to buy one finds a.
source of the general complaints
against the charges made for service
by those organizations especially
which have inherent in them the ma
ture of monopolies. Now and then we
have mingled with the complaints a
demand for the monopolization of these
services by the general government.
The telephone comes in for it's share
Of these complaints, limited, however.
because of the comparatively narrow
circles in which telephone service is
given. When the Bell patents expired
there was a general expectation that
rates would be reduced and that COM
peting companies would force it if not
voluntarily give. But the Berliner
patents, carefully withheld from patent
until the issue would extend the Bell
monopoly another fourteen years, have
so far defeated expectations.
Meantime it is worth while to ex-
anime telephone service abroad and
especially to compare it in the coun-
tries where it is still a private with
those where it is a governmental mo-
nopoly. A very interesting and in
structive article is one in Commerce, I"
the official organ Of the London Cham
Der of Commerce, comparing the sys-
tenn as worked in the province of Jut-
land, in Denmark, with its working in
the neighboring province of Schleswig-
Holstein. The article is accompanied
with maps of the two provinces on
which are traced the telephone lines,
those Of Jutland being under private
and those in the latter country under
governmental control. In England the
postoffice has monopoly but operates
it by licensees with rates fixed by the
department, while in Germany the gov
eminent both owns and operates the
lines. In Germany the uniform charge
is nearly $3.50 year for distances
NV CACCCoAll6 live hltOIuSl6IS lLWO
miles 1,480 yards) while in England
the charge is $40 a year for one mile
service. making the rate for the
equivalent German distance about 5000
year. Long distance charges in Ger
many are twenty-four cents for three
minutes use.
Schleswig- Holstein has lines connect
ing Flensburg on the north with
| Schleswig, Kiel, Rendsburg and AL
tona on the south, and with only
three or four lines connecting nearby
towns with these cities, while Jutland
has all it's cities connected and from
each one lines run out to neighboring
villages So extensive is the service
that the map is gridironed with the
lines. Farmers in the country and
small tradesmen and artisans In the
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1896-03-10

villages make use of the telephone.
me extent of the use is shown in
table by which it is seen that Jutland,
an agricultural country, with no large
cities, has as many telephones to pop
ulation as has the city of Cologne, and
twenty-five per cent more than Leip-
zig with over twice the population.
Inc reason of this becomes plain when
we examine the rates charged In Jut-
land. Decrease of cost brings increase
OF use with telephones as with every
thing else The largest charge is in
Copenhagen, with $4,000 people. $500
subscribers and AMI annual charge of
about SAP. Three towns, Esbjerg,
Barde and Rive, with populations of
AGO. 400 andl4 400 respectively, are
served at an annual charge Of $14 a
year, and their country connections
have. the same rate The earnings on
this line pay dividends Of from 6 to
10 per cent. The largest charge for
country service is 1872 At these rates
one can understand why in Aarhus, for
instance, of the 300 subscribers 1876 are
small tradesmen and that fifty-four
more are artisans, carpenters, bar
bers, glaciers, masons, mechanics and
others who, with us, at our rates,
would not be warranted in using the
telephone.
The striking feature of the COMPARE
son is the wide difference between the
charges made by private companies
and those laid by the governments hav-
ing monopoly. In Denmark the tele-
phones are used by all classes of per-
sons because Of the very moderate
charge, while in England and Germany
the use is limited to large business
houses. In Jutland, in 1891, with a
population of $4,000, there were twenty
telephone companies with 1850 sub
scribers and hundreds of public sta
lions. In Schleswig- Holstein, with
l'2oO,oOO inhabitants, leaving out Ham
burg and including Kiel, there were
but 27S subscribers.

DOES 1T PAY.

We have not withheld our admiration
of the genius who drafted the financial
plank of the Minneapolis platform. 1t
rivals the famous shield about which
the knights differed and uuarreled.
Nay, it excels that, for all men, knights
and squires Of low degree, can walk
about the Minneapolis creation. view
its every side, except the inside, and
