PUBLICITY WILL Do IT.

1t appears that this city is again suf-
fering from overconfidence in the District
Commissioners A communication printed
in this mornng's edition, and with which
The Times in the main agrees. says in
part:
itiepsnds on the good Judgment ofthe Com
missioners of the District of Columbia, as
well as Congress, for a speedy relief from
the existing circumstances. We are now
paying about S1i5 year for the
use of our telephone, which we think IS
too high, Anyhow. we are not Wiling To
have the charge increased. don't want
you To think Tor a moment but what tle
community depends on you and other pa
pers for relief as well as Oh the District
CONN. issluIers and the presen, Congress.
for relief if it depends on the triocracy
for any reform which antagonizes the
vested interests of few. 1t will be re-
membered tnat these gentlemen some time
ago announced 1t to he their belief that
the present telephone monopoly could be
forced to reduce its rates. For that and
other reasons they opposed the tearing up
OF the streets by new enterprises. But
what have they done toward lowering
the rate of the old concern? 1t is not
| their business, in the first place, TO as,
sumo that any natural monopoly alone
has the right to the people streets because
| the service can be best rendered under
| one management and ownership. Such a
theory, If carried TO its logical conclusion,
| would be cheerful news to the municipal
trusts and would work even greater hard
ships for citizens.
| Real relief from telephone charges al
ready extortionate and promising TO be
| outrageous will come when public senti-
ment Is thoroughly aroused, and this The
| Times is trying to do. The Chesapeake and
| Potomac Telephone Company, Or any other
like monopoly, cannot stand before public
| opinion crystallized into action. Publicity
| is the factor OF which such erterprises are
| most afraid aud The Times will endeavor
TO produce it in large quantities.

Reasons Which Led Spain to AdOp.

United States army surgeons effectively

jacketed bullet of the Spanish army, the

proved by Secretary Lamont and the volume

country of u Cuban insurrection.
Instead of Spain inventing this bullet foI
