filters and brewers are consumers of articles re-
huired in the manufacture of liquors, and these
figures have considerable interest when COM
pared with those in tho United States. Tho nv

900 gallons a year. and OF ale and becr 10000

A TELEPHONE WAR.

The telephone war in Staunton has
reached very interesting stage, In 1895
the high charges of the Virginia Bell Tel
ephone Company for the use of phones
caused the business men of that city and
the farmers of Augusta county to unite
and organize the Mutual City and County
Telephone Company. Their rates were
popular, being $40 year for those who
purchased their phones outright, and
$50 and $50 for others, and while the new
company met with many discouragements
ut FIRST, the service grew in extent, eff.
proved itself complete success For
about ten months the Bell Company,
which, when the agitation commenced,
had reduced it's rates from $50 to $40 for
rent of phones, held out at the last
named figures. After this it reduced its
rates to those charged by the Mutual
Company, which by that time had over
200 phones in Staunton, with connec-
tons in Augusta and adjoining counties,
while the Bell Company had not over 40.
Recently, however, the latter corpora
ton is making an offer to furnish service
to the people .of Staunton for 80 cents
month, and very naturally the people are
much disturbed thereat. They see in the
movement, or think they do, an effort on
the part Of the Bell people to 'freeze
out" the Mutual Company, after which
the first named corporation can make
such charges as it sees fit. A writer in
the Staunton News warns the people
against the danger, and advises them to
stand by the new company. A large num-
Der of citizens and business men of
Staunton, in Wednesday, IS News, came out
in petition to the Retail Grocers Asso-
citation, asking that they continue to sup
port the City and County Mutual Tele-
phone Company, and the Grocers Asso.
citation have promptly adopted resolu-
tions pledging it's support as body only
to the Mutual Company, and heartily
recommending it to the general public as
being honest and fair in Jail it's dealings
and always using its Jest efforts to fur
nish the very best of service to all of it's
patrons. From this it is very plain that
the people of Staunton and vicinity will
continue their support of the home COM
pany and will not he caught by the
tempting bait offered by the Bell Com
pany.

Senator Perkins, of California, pre-
scented two petitions from that State on
Wednesday, one asking for the abrogation
of the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty and
the other that it he allowed to remain as
it is. Much interest is felt on the Pacific
coast in this question, and while some
are contending for the abrogation of the
treaty so that sugar imported from Ha-
waii shall pay the same duties as sugar
from other countries, others insist that
the treaty should not he disturbed The
petitions presented by Senator Perkins
were referred to the committee on foreign
relations and copies sent to the finance
committee. If any action is taken it will
probably be in the form of an amendment
to the tariff bill, though it is probable
that the foreign committee may consider
the subject and make some recommends
tions.

talent exists. Competitors would be in
structed to disregard the local interests
Of cities, and to present plans for estab-
fishing and controlling the channels of
the Mississippi and branches, on the basis
of the welfare OF the entire valley. The
decision Of the competition wonld be in
the hands of Il commission of experts Sc.
lected from the engineering corps of the
United States army and from civil life.
MIR. Sayers believes the government by
this plan would secure the ideas of the
best engineers of the world, who, by the
offer of large reward, would be induced
to personally study the great river and
the possibilities of controlling it. He be-
lieves, along with great many other
people, that some system, different from
the present attempts to control the river,
musU be adopted before satisfactory re-
suits can be accomplished, and thinks
that any plan which would stand the SUI
preme test would Justify great expend-
iture.
Mr.. Sayers takes the right view OF the
subject when he says q system that
would stand the supreme test would JUS
tify great expenditure; but the prizes
he would offer are hardly large enough to
induce the competition likely to call forth
the high order of talent required for such
an undertaking.

thinks competition might be- brought

The vacancy in the Office of minister to
Hayti d'charge the affairs at San Do
mingo, caused by the resignation of Hon.
Henry M. Smythe, opens place for some
Southern Republican of character and
ability, if the President will take the
trouble to look around to find one. I'm
fortunately, however, for the aspirations
of Republicans in this section the admin
istration does Eot seem to be bestowing
positions of honor and emolument upon
them mt very rapid rate. The Southern
Republicans, so.called, who have already
been the recipient of federal Office are in
the main men of Northern birth, who
have come here since the war; from
which it must be inferred that there is
either a scarcity of native Republican
talent here, or the President is unduly
prejudiced against this class of politi-
clans.
