TELEGRAPHY OF THE FUTURE.
Messages wired i'm Sender's own
handwriting.


The ancient gibe concerning the old woman
who declared a telegram could not be from
her son because 1t was not in his own hand
writing is on the eve of coming to a timely
end. A telegram will soon be delivered in
the sender's own handwriting.
The telautograph is to effect this great
change The telautograph is not a new in
-vention. -Four years ago one was shown at
a conversaZione of the Royal Society, by
which outlines, sketches, and, of course,
handwriting, could be transmitted over the
wires The outline was drawn by a stylo-
graphic pen on the transmitter, and on the
receiver another .stylographic pen automat-
pen and reproduced the outline.
TO enable this to be done four wires were
necessary. This, and other things precludsd
the telautograph becoming a commercial
success. Prof Elisha Gray an American,
it is almost needless to say, was the in
ventor and he set about improving his in
vention. This he has accomplished Two
wires only now used and it is antici-
pated that even before this year is out the
telautograph will have become of the same
service in the business world as the tele-
phone.

gneers on Nov. L. said: 1.-THE writing tele-

"Ihe Introduction OF the telephone is reNO-
lutionizing the mode of transactiug bust
ness. There seems to be a distinct want of
some instrument to record the fleeing words
and figures of bargains and orders trans
mitted by telephone. Hence a supplement
to the marvellous machine is needed. The
telautograph and electrical typewriter will
fill this want"
For the idea is that the teautograph will
be used in the same manner as the tele-
phone now is. You ring up your man. but
instead of speaking to him. you write and
the words are instantly and exactly repro
duced at the other end. Or again, in the
course of a conversation over the telephone
you are asked to write down certain word
or sentence; it's done as soon as asked.

IMPEACHING RALPH PHELPS.
Grave Charges Made Against the De-
troit Police Commissioners.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 1.-THE resigna-
ton Of Police Commissioner Ralph Phelps,
jr., was demanded to-day at Il mass meet
ing of Republican citizens held in one of
the leading churches. This action is the di-
rect result of recent agitation toward the
enforcement of law the abolishing of vice,
by the Good Government League of De-
troit and others. Mr. Phelps is charged,
among other things, with being on fifteen
liquor bonds prior to his appointment as
commissioner, when the law expressly pro-
vides that no one shall sign more than two,
and with not being released from the bonds
after his appointment; with absenting him
self from this city for almost 3 year while
police commissioner, after having accepted
the responsibilities of office. and with not
being in full sympathy with the enforce
ment of laws. The speaker, Rev. Walter
Hughson, then continued:
I'VE impeach Mr.. Phelps before the tri-
buna of the city of Detroit for his inca
pacity, and demand that Mayor Maybury
shall, on our behalf, demand his resigna
ton The honor of the city demands his
retirement, and it can best come about
through his resignation. A large number
of people have lost confidence in him. We
want no man in office who fails to appre-
ciate trust and responsibility and we
charge this man with incompetency. We
can have little hope for the sincere enforce
ment of law until there is a change"
The Good Government League sprang into
existence at the last election and took
prominent part in it. A few weeks ago
several local ministers commenced q. cru
SADIE against so-called stall saloons" and
have since been waging a relentless war
upon them and other forms of vice. This
mass meeting of to-day, which embraced
in the audience number of the city's
prominent business men and politicians.
partook of the nature of a combining of
the forces of the Good Government League
and all the others who are active in the
present movement for the enforcement of
laws and prevention of vice. The members
of the league say that to-day's action is
merely a starter, and that unless 3. change
is made in the policy of other of the citys
officers more charges and demands of resig
nation will follow.

A CiviI-service Case.

About a year ago l removed for incom-
potency man occupying prominent place
in the classified service. He had been given
the required charge in writing and had sub
mitted his answer, but he failed to disproVe
incompetency. On the day on which my re-
noval order became effective the mans pas
tor called uDon me. He was very much pro-
yoked over my action even after | had made
on the ground of the mans glaring incom-
petence to perform his official duties. Sup
pose he is incompetent, said the pastor,
''he is one of the best men in my church.
He has BEEN an usher and deason, and he
passes the plateui Inquiry disclosed the
fact that this man was appointed at the
instance of President Cleveland upon the
request of the pastor of the church which
the President attended. and that the incom-
potency of the man was so well known to
the postmaster prior to the appointment that
he protested against receiving him into the
service The President sent for the post
master, and insisted that the man should
be given the position. When the postmaster
still hesitated the President is said TO have
stated with a smile but with firmness:
why this man puts the plate under my
nose every Sunday at church, and If | do
not give him this place after he and his
pastor have insisted. | shall be ashamed to
look into that plate again. Though the
position was unclassifed at the time of the
duplication the President must have known
that one of his forthcoming proclamations
would extend the classified service to cover
this appointment.

IS, the suffrage never has been and is not

Annexation and Universal Suffrage.
Prof. ]. b. McMaster. in the Decemb
Forum


A review of the history of suffrage in
the Territories makes it clear that foreign
soil acquired by Congress is the property
of and not part of the United States: that
the Territories formed from il are without
and not under the Constitution; and that i'm
providing them with governments Congress
is at liberty to establish just such kind as it
pleases, with little or no regard for the
principles of self-government; that in the
past It has set up whatever sort was. in
its opinion, best suited TO meet the needs
Of the people. never stopping TO ask how
far the government so created derived it's
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned, and that it is under no obligation
10 grant even a restricted suffrage TO the
inhabitants of any new soil we may acquire
unless they are fit to use il properly Con-
gress IS indeed morally bound to give the
very best government that circumstances
will permit: but 1t Is also morally bound
not to be carried away by theories of
human rights which even the States them
selves ignore. We have no such thing as un-
restricted universal suffrage. In the States
east Of the Mississippi no woman may cast
a ballot for a Governor, for a congress-
man or for presidential electors. Yet In each
one of them are numbers OF women who

which he negotiated for Mr. Hurley.
The sale was not contaminated and
Mr. Hurley, alleging that it was no
fault of his that the sale did not event
uate, refused to pay the commission.
Suit was instituted and Mr.. Jadwln
secured a verdict. subject to u law
point reserved by Judge Love. This
law point bore on the legality Of Mr.
Jadwin's broker license, the defense
alleging that it was nun and void be-
cause IL had been issued by the city
treasurer while the county treasurer
it was contcnded, was the proper of
fetal to issue such license.
The license was issued by the city
treasurer under the provisions of an
ordinance passed Feb. L., 1SS1, fixing
license fees for various callings, that of
real estate broker being fixed at $40.
Judge Love says this license Is no
good. II is not such q license as con.
templated by the act of assembly and
no authority can be found in law for
the city ordinance in question. It may
be proper, the judge goes on TO say,
TO pass such an ordinance for special
city revenue, but as a substitute for
mercantile taxes and licenses It is
clearly invalid. Then again, he holds,
a city ordinance fixing Il definite class
iflcation and fee for u series Of wears
is entirely inconsistent with the law
regulating mercantile appraisements.
Mr.. Jadwin is not II real estate broker
in the eyes of the law, Judge Love
declares, and can not recover in this
case Judgment was directed 60 enter
for the defendant Notwithstanding the
verdict.
4. +. Welles represented the defend
ant, and G. Comegys the plaintiff.
Judge Loves opinion affects only the
case at issue. To bring about a change
10 the legal way in the system of pay
ing mercantile taxes in this city and
Carbondalc it would be necessary to
secure a decision direct on the matter.
Judge Love simply says: I'VE have
grave doubts, etc lie is not called
upon to decide anything more than the
legality or illegality of Mr.. Jadwin's
broker license, and having done this
stops. His decision will, no doubt be
taken as a guide for others in lines
