Of their own, which virtually says to
shis monster monopoly, "we can do
without YOU" The Bell people are
fairly tumbling over each other in
their effort to extend their lines to
the smaller towns. But the Bell Co.
has waited too long. It's real motive
10 too apparent. Hence Hudson has
decided to shut it out, the same as
the Twin Cities have shut out the.
country lines
It is a dead lock" game all around,
and q business that retards public
Improvement and national progress,
but this powerful monopoly must be
taught q lesson and be brought to
terms, even though it's own selfish
methods be used against it. Hudson
aud New Richmond have done the
right thing by freezing it out. Mr..
Hayfeld, manager of the Wisconsin
Valley telephone company is authori-
ty for the statement that the people
of this city will inside of thirty days
be connected with the Twin cities, and
that, by January next we will be con-
nected with two or three thousand
phones in St. Paul and Minneapolis.
These news are gratifying.

There are few who think the TIMES
criticism OF Spooner of last week I'M
lust to the senator in as much as he
voted for the Davis resolutions at
the last moment. But suppose Mr..
Spooner's vote against these resolu
tions had defeated them on the first
ballot? 1t is plain to see that his
vote might have resulted in making it
impossible for him to have changed
his position later on, and would have
placed our nation in very bad light
in the eyes of the world.

Mr.. Dingley is in trouble. His tar
if schedule is already so high, as a
protective measure that he dares not
increase it, now that the country is
really in need of money, as a farther
increase would mean the shutting out
of foreign goods altogether.

Though the war with Spain may be
expensive, yet we can derive some
consolation from the fact that much
of the money spent abroad by rowing
tourists will be saved, as they will
not venture out in these turbulent

Wives of Officers Preparing to Spend
the Winter I'm Havana

Florida Times Union and Citizen.
Officers of the Seventh Army Corps are
still figuring on the possibilities or prOba-
bilities of an early departure for Cuba. IL
having become a pretty well settled fact
that the entire corps is to go there, under
command Of Major General Lee, to do gar
rison duty The ladies' the wives of officers
and there are good many of them in jack
sonvllle, are of course discussing the mat
ter; and they are building air castles and
laying their plans for spending next winter
in Havana, or wherever their husbands may
be stationed, so that they can be with Them.
One lady has even gone so far as to say
what young ladies she will invite to become
her guests while spending the winter in the
Cuban capital. The early departure of the
corps for Cuba seems likely to depend a
good deal on the movements of the Spanish
troops now there. If they shall be em-
barked at an early. date, it will mean the
departure of the Seventh Corps, possibly
within the next month"; but If the movement
shall be delayed, then the American forces
will wait just that much longer. The adj
ministration at Washington is said to hope
that it will not be necessary to send Ameri-
can troops there till the rainy season snail
have ended, when health conditions will be
better.
1t was reported yesterday, unofficially.
that the Seventh Corps is to be rapidly
filled up. to its full quota, which means the
sending here of five more regiments. and the
report was further circulated that many
additional regiments will be sent here for
made as to the depth of water and facilities
for embarking troops here have shown that
Jacksonville is well provided in this par
ticular and it is stated that twenty or more
transports can be loaded at the same time
There Is also ample room for the anchoring
of an almost unlimited number of vessels
in the stream, so that the work of embark
ing could be carried on practically uninter-
ruptedly. The railroad facilities for bring
ing troops right to the wharves are excel
lent, and there is little doubt that when
the time shall come for sending the next
consignment of troops to Cuba, the greater
part of them will be embarked right in

Washington Letter in Chicago Post.
A few weeks ago gentleman appeared
at the War Department with a yacht for
sale. He said friend of his had sold the
government a yacht for $4,000 which was
worth just about half as much as his, but,
being patriotic, he would let his go for $780,
009 He went away grumbling because Col.
Hecker would not authorize the investment.
A day or two since a Western retired mer-
chant who happened to be in Washington
said that he intended to buy a yacht and
see how that went He said that he had
found one that suited him, but the owner
put fancy price on it and wanted $4,000.
He then added:
Il offered him 5000 for his vessel and
think will get It at that figure; The gen
tleman happened to mention the name of
the yacht. and it turned out to be the same
one that the patriotic owner had tried to
work off on the government for 500 900. This
is a fair sample of the propositions which
the purchasing boards of the War and Navy
Department have had to guard against from
the day the President began spending the
fifty millions appropriated to put the coun-
try on a war footing down to the signing Of
the protocol.

Park, he has never received a commission

for him The Governor declared he is un-
worthy of a commission. For long time
the delivery of the commissions for officers
of the First Regiment was delayed. Re-
Gently every officer received one, except Col.
Baldorff, Lieut.. Col. Lavender and Lieut..

Governors intention as to the last two off,
GERS named are not known. Some time ago
two lieutenants appointed by Governor

which place they were sent from time to
time in order to reduce the crowd at the
former place. Brigadier General Goblin is

fiuence military spirit among the men and
increase their efficiency. The general Inn

not be moved TO Camp Mead. Pa, as re-
