POSSIBLE INDICTMENT.
Inquiry Into Alleged Illegal Charge
for TeIephene Service.


The grand jury it is understood on good
authority, today began to quietly invcsti
gate the local telephone situation, wito u
possibility of reporting an Indictment
charging misdemeanor against the rcspon-
sble official or officials of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company. Such
an Indictment, if found, will charge the ,ie-
mand and receipt of unlawful rates from
telephone subscribers in return for tele-
phone service.
Officials who ought to know what is going
on in the direction indica ted naturally pro-
fessed profound ignorance when questioned
on the subject. No Indictment has been
drawn as yet. The investigation having
irst begun 1t may be some time before 4
rue bill is presented, If at all.
i is provided by law that the maximum
aarEo for telephone sarvice in the District
Columbia shall Lot be more than So a
year. No penalty, however, is laid down
liz case of violation, but such violation ac-
cording to rulings in similar cases, it is
claimed. constitutes a misc emeauor.
Mr.. VIM. w. Danenhower, treasurer Of
the Telephone Subscribers Association. was
interviewed by a Star reporter upon the
subject today, and said
About two weeks ago, while conversing
with my attorney, E. w. Thomas, on the
situation of the telephone question, h eug-
gested that there was an act which would
protect the subscribers of the Chesapeake
ard Potomac Telephone Company against
paying the legal charges made by them
At my suggestion he interested the district
attorney. and the conclusion WAS reached
that they were indictahle for mis- lemeanor
and presenting and enforcing of bills con-
trary to law.

A Lost OlpOrtunitY.

If Chester Long is so grirved tina
, Jerry did not manage the war tC
suit his longs fastideous taste
why in the world does he not ex,
plain to the people why he did MOI
embrace the coveted " opportunit,
to join the volunteers and help
President Mckinley, Col. Bryan
Gen. Joe Wheeler, and the
soldiers, wipe Spain off the map.
Long was a private citizen; there
wera no strings to him; he had a
glorious opportunity to immortalize
his name.
Chester, oh Chester, where werI
thou!
1t is possible that his beautiful
complexion might have been marred
somewhat; possible also that while
he was absent the people might
have filched few postoffice, from
his gang, but what of that His
country was in peril! Old glory
was being attacked by the ignorant
and blood. thirsty spaniardsl His
duty was at the front, but he was not
there.
And now at this late day he comes
crawling out of obscurity criticising
and fault. finding and Boosting OF
what GIVE" did.
He imagines he would be equal to
a whole regiment OF soldiers-not
in the field but in congress. His i'm.
aginative genius has no doubt
further revealed to him that it is a
much more pleasant and safe place
tc fight from-in congress-than in
the field. The salary is also better.
But the war is over, Chester, you
are too late, and too bumptious.
Your services are no longer needed.
You allowed your opportunity to
pass. The fates have doomed you
to continued obscurity. In 1900
some other Republican will be
called to make the race who will
have greater claims on the party
and the people, and your obscurity
will be perpetual.

The postofice organs are making
the campaign for Chester on the
sole ground that Jerry Simpson was
opposed to the war. This has been
proven untrue at every turn but
operating on the theory that ga lie
well stuck to is as good as the truth"
they keep reiterating it with the
freshness Of a toadstool in field Of
onions. They have only one pur-
pose in view, namely, to drive the
Republicans who are against Long
into line. 1t will fail of its purpose.
Their work is too coarse. Such
presumption will only drive his party
enemies farther away from him.
Long is doomed to defeat and in
1900 some other county than Bar
Der will furnish the nominee for
congress.

The silver question, dear friend, is
not one that involves the state gov

some time ago, you would be much
gratifed to get away from com
parison ofstate records-Morrill and

Leedy, McNall, Boyle, Bush,
Sryker ct al-but we don't propose
that you shall. Face the music now,

SANKEY'S Topeka Speech.
In his speech Stanley made the
following statement:

In his speech Stanley made the
following statement:
"See your school houses on every
bill side, see your l2,00J school
teachers and your 100000 troOpiug
children on their way u school, and
realize that This magnificent school
system is founded upon a permanent
school fund which was provided for
years ago by the Republican party.
and then think how insignificant II
seems to boast Of saving fifty cents on
a school book"
What are the facts which Mr..
Stanley should have known? The
state of Kansas has a school fund of
over S6,O0O,OOO which was derived
from the sale Of land consisting Of
every l6 and SO section. This was
done by the United States govern
ment in 1859, under Democratic
administration, James Buchanan
being president and therefore Stanley
either displayed his gross ignorance,
or told a willful lie, when he said
this fund "was provided by the Re-
publican party"
This fund would have had $685.
900 more ifa Republican administra.
ton had not stolen it. That sum
was turned over to the state and
they misappropriated it to form
railroad schemes which were never
built.
Now refer to SANKEY'S words:
"think how Insignificant it seems to
boast Of saving fifty cents on a
school book"
Let US figure and see how "insig.
nifcsnt" this is. Let US "think" as
he tells US.
Taking his figures, there are $780,
900 scholars; these use not less than
four books each year, fifty cents
saved on each book would be a
saving Of 50 per year for each child
or 100000 per year for all the
state.
Only the interest of the perma-
nent school fund is,distributed which
amounts to about SO cents for each
child each year or about S43O,OO0,
being about half the amount that
will be saved the people of the state
by the school text book law.
