Today publishes an article devoted to
argument against the Duke of Marlbor-
ough's claim to princeIy rank and claim
ing to correct the alleged mistake of the
American newspapers on this subject. The
writer found, he asserts, that the princely
dignity became absolutely extinct at the
death Of the first Duke of Marlborough.
Today then says: "Consuelo must, there
FORE be contented with the rank of an
English duchess. The princely crown does
not adorn her brows and the princely
crown of the imperial eagle must be re-
moved from the dukes escutcheon.' The
duke himself has taken the trouble to in
quire into his succession to the princely
rank, it is added, so he is probably now
aware of the circumstances.

BREAKING A TELEPHONE MONOPOLY.

IHILE telephone companies have been grasp
w ing. greedy and aggressive in this country
their practices have been mild in comparison
to the extortion which the National Telephone Com
pany has put upon the people OF Great Britain Lon
don in particular seems to have been looked upon by
the managers as city given over their looting, and
within its confines they have fixed high the prices
for telephone service that none but Princes, mil
lionaires and Americans can afford TO use IT.
The result OF the extorton has been revolt on the
part of the British public Acting in response to
demand of the people for relief the Ministry has taken
up the subject and few days ago Parliament voted
the sum OF 100000 pounds sterling to equip the
Postoffice Department with telephone system 1or
London and at the time authorized cities OF
&C. 600 inhabitants and upward throughout the KING
dom to establish municipal telephones.
From report of the debate on the bill given in a
recent issue of the London Chronicle learn that the
defenders OF the monopoly unable to make an
effective reply to the charges brought against 1t, and
their only plea that it would be unfair tor the
Government enter into competition with an enter
prise in which individuals have embarked much OF
their capital.
In moving the bill Mr.. Hanbury said the National
Company had bought out all other telephone compa-
nies and established monopoly 1t claimed a right
to go where it pleased to refuse TO go 1t gave
service or refused service will 1t fixed prices to
suit itself giving some customers low and prac
ticing extorton upon Others In short, it assumed all
sorts of privileges and repudiated all duty
By reason OF the possession OF a monopoly the
company has fixed the standard price OF telephone
service in London f2o year, while in the cities
of Continental Europe the price does not exceed
fIo and in Norway the price is less than t. AS
consequence Of the excessive charges Great Britain
is far behind other countries in the OF telephones
In Norway and Sweden there is one telephone line
for every I45 inhabitants in Germany one to every
I4o in Switzerland to every 17o while IN Great
Britain there is but one to every 636 inhabitants
In explaining the intentions of the Postottlce
Department with respect TO the telephone service 1t
would put into operation Mr.. Hanbury said: we
do not propose to work the system OF subscription
only We mean to popularize the system and throw
it open to every person. rich and poor alike. He
added that yearly subscription in London would
probably not exceed f3.
Thus it will be seen that by trying TO impose upon
London too far the British telephone monopoly has
led to its own overthrow. Just why the postottlce
should confne its operations to the metropolis and
leave other cities to establish municipal telephones is
not clear The bill however, seems TO be generally
approved and the Chronicle is sanguine that the
operation OF the measure will soon be widened so as
to permit cities under $4,000 inhabitants to enjoy its
benefits.

QUESTION OF APPOINTING SENATORS

THE report from Washington that Governor
Stone OF Pennsylvania has decided to appoint
Senator Quay to succeed himself in default OF
IN election by the Legislature OF that State may, we
think be accepted as the iridescent dream OF an
IMAGINATIVE correspondent rather than the settled de-
termination OF a rational man. However, there IS
lothing to prevent Governor Stone issuing COM
mission TO Quay is there anything to prevent the
Governors of Delaware Utah and California exer-
,ising similar privilege with reference to the va
anoes in those States but the prospect OF the Senate
reversing the precedent il set in the Oregon and
9her cases and seating the appointees too remote to
