MONTANA fiGHT GROWS BITTER

CnlcaGO lflDuuE says. Dlttef us have been the quarrels in Mon tana's democracy in years gone by they pale into insignifcance when compared with the extremity to which the apparently never end ing Clark -Daly teud-whose ob- ject is the control of the democratic party in this state-has been carried this year That blood shed was averted in the recent Butte convention seems almost maraculous.
 Montana now has two simon pure" democratic parties, two state central committees and calls are out for two nominating conventions for the selection of a state ticket These latter two are to be held in Helena, Sept. l9, and conservative demo crats are vehement in their pro tests against both Clark and Daly for their action in hopelessly divid- ing the party by placing two tickets in the field, which they declare can result only in repub- lican success at the polls this fall,
 The battle to be waged this fall gives every indication of being the most stubbornly contested in the history of the state. Not ,pnly is a full set of state officials to be chosen, bat a legislature is to be elected that will have an opportun ity of naming two United States senators-a most unusual condition except upon the admission of new atates.
 Senator Thomas Ii Carter, Ire publican), whose term, expires March 4 next, is expected here next week to assume charge of the re- publican forces, and it is quite generally conceded that he is a large stockholder in the company that has purchased the Helena Herald. and has instituted the leased wire service of The Associ- ated Press and otherwise improved the sheet, with view of making il the party mouthpiece
 Meanwhile Senator Clark has purchased the Great Falls Tribune thus giving him an organ in Butte Helena and the Cataract city, while Mir. Daly has also purchased several weeklies in addition to his personal organ the Anacond5 Standard, and from the vigorous manner in which the editoria, writers have already entered upor the campaign new supply of ad, jectives will he required long be, fore the votes are cast Strangely enough, the most rancor is dis, played among the democratic journals, addressed respectively to the Clark and Daly leaders, both of which are. re.approved by the re publican writers, who paraphrasf "Go it, husband, go it, bear" !" "Gc it, Clark, go'it, Daly."
 c, H, Eggleston, formerly of the Chicago Herald and Chicago Times, has become editor-in-chie1 of the Helena Independent, the local Clark organ
 Candidates are numerous ln both parties for all offices. Gov, Smith will doubtless be renominated fol governor by the Daly faction; while A. L. Eabcock, of Billings is the most prominent republican aspirant: and there are half q dozen Clark men anxious to head the ticket, with the chances favor. ing no one in particular.

TELEPHONE RATES HERE AND
ELSEWHERE.

The yirginian- Pilot yesterday re-
article containing some important data
as to telephone charges in New York
and other cities and likewise throwing
some light on the methods by which
the Bell Telephone Company has man
aged to maintain it's Monopoly in the
metropolis.
1t is worthy of special attention that.
while the paid-in capital of the Bell
Company is. as stated yesterday in
these columns, S25,O00,0 600, its capital
stock is $4,000 600. In other words, it
is compelled to MAKE DIVIDENDS
ON THREE TIMES IT'S ACTUAL
CAPITAL BEFORE IT WOULD APP
PEAR ON ITS BOOKS TO BE a PRO
FITABLE BUSINESS Proportionably
its branch in this city Uhe Southern
Bell Company would be expected to
PAY PROFITS ON THREE TIMES
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THE SYS-
TEN REALLY COST. Naturally, it is
difficult to pay dividends in any legd-
mate business on Il dollar of capital
fully suggested to Councils, and more
especially to the Telephone Committee
thereof. that no business showing made
upon such a basis is worth the paper it
would cover, or the breath it would re-
quire.
1t was likewise shown in the article
referred to, that the cities of Pittsburg
and Baltimore have telephone charges
ranging from SIS 10 SIG per year, the
systems being thoroughly efficient and
the business profitable to the com
panies. Baltimore has about six times
the population of all the communities
here which are supplied by the Bell
Company. THIS EFFECTIVELY DE
MOL1SHES THE CONTENTION OF
THE BELL COMPANY THAT 1T
HAD TO DOUBLE IT'S RATES Be
CAUSE NORFOLK IS GROWING IN
SIZE. AND THAT THE COST OF
MAINTAINING THE SERVICE PER
PHONE HAS INCREASED PROPOR-
If there were anything
in this contention, system could not
be operated proiitably in Baltimore for
less than 500 per phone annually;.
whereas n profitable business is done
there at S3S TO SAG per phone per year
These facts show conclusively that
the Bells double increase OF rates in
this city was not n business necessity.
The fact that the rates for unlimited
service were simply doubled shows
conclusively that the INCREASE WAS
NOT MADE ON BUSINESS PRINCI-
Plies. 1t was n purely arbitrary step,
and was made possible only by the
favoritism shown by Councils in the
Bell franchise. AS we have said be-
fore. the main responsibility for the
present telephone situation rests upon
Councils; and While the personnel has
largely changed since this original
blunder was made, the responsibility
still rests With these bodies to correct
this blunder, the consequences of which
arc now only too manifest.

MR.. BRYAN IN NEW YORK.

1t is favoritc device OF Mr.. Bryan's
enemies to explain his great popular
ity by saying that he talks well. They
have been busy explaining. ever since
his visit to New York city was planned.
that whatever enthusiasm was mani
Tested on that occasion would be the
product of "Tammany claqucrs." We

Their explanation suilices. Mr. Bryan
has been before the American people
almost constantly FOR more than four
years. There has never been any mere
glib talker born who could hold the
interest, the respect and admiration of
so vast a number of American people
for such length OF time. 1t is against
all experience. That Mr.. Bryan has
been able to do this, and still draw the
enormous crowds that everywhere
greet him, is sufficient REPUTATION of his
| detractors.
SO far as the New York incident is
concerned, Il comparison of MIR.
Bryan's welcome this year and four
| years ago will show that he is
stronger, far stronger, in the mctrop-
oils now than then. a demonstration
of the sort accorded him cannot be
made TO order. The hired holler never
passes current for anything but what
it is-a clumsy counterfeit. Alr. Gro
ker and Tammany Hall could not have
supplied either the crowds or the en-
thusiasm that greeted Mr. Bryan
everywhere he went in New York city
Why, therefore, not admit that men
still love and admire ability. sincerity,
cleanhandedness, integrity OF purpose ?
Mr.. Bryans reception in New York is
not to be accounted for on any other
ground.

quite lesser Importance.
THE FULL DINNER PAIL.
ANA, on the other hand, we have the
Republicans insisting with incroo sod
energy that the issues of imperialism
ana trusts, as raised by the Demo-
Gratis, are but mere bugaboos. and as
sorting that the real issue of the cam
palSn, and as presented to voters. is
me continuance of prosperity. That.
they declare. is the paramount issue
before voters, the question involved in
the campaign that most intimately
concerns them. Voters, they declare
are called upon to choose between the
election of Mckinley and the contin-
VI biOslciity, anu the election
OF Bryan and n reversal OF the pros
porous times of the past three years.
They put this forward as their most
effective argument.
We hear much of the full dinner pail
argument The election OF Mckinley
means fun dinner pail, the election
of Bryan it's loss. And this is the
whole argument they put forth. They
put it forth with brutal yet uncon-
scious GOODNESS as if the workman had
no ear for an appeal to loftier senti-
ments than those of his belly, as if
he had no desires higher than full
belly, no right. to ask for anything
more than Il full dinner kettle. If the
Republican party give him this, and
they declare it has, he ought to be
content with it, lie ought to be dis
contented IL he does not get much more
than this. In the declining days of the
Roman Republic the citizen was con-
tented with Il full belly and the cir
Gus. 1t was then said by the patri-
clans. and with truth Give the citi-
zen a fun belly aud the circus and he
will be your willing slave, surrender
his rights as n Roman citizen. But is
it the Republican idea that the Ameri-
can workman has come TO this?

WHAT A TELEPHONE MONOPOLY
MEANS.

The Bell Telephone Company is aim
ing to establish monopoly in this
city. Its manipulation of rates shows
that 1t already considers itself in
practical control of the field.
The Bell Company once had n mo-
nopoIy OF the telephone business in
this city. 1t then charged $50 II year
for business phones and $40 a year for
residence phones. 1t was then operat-
ing without any franchise Whatever.
Subsequently the Southern States sys-
tenn was installed under franchise
fixing SIS and SIS as the legal maxi
mum rates for business and residence
phones respectively. The Bell Com
pany then reduced its rates To and
below the rates of the Southern States
Company.
AS appears in an article published
elsewhere in this issue, branch of the
Bell Company has enjoyed q monopoly
of the telephone business in New York
city since 1877. 1t has jumped the rates
there from $3.50 year to $40 for an
unlimited service. Despite this fact,
the service is unsatisfactory as COM
pared with tho service where there is
competition.
The extinction of competition is
threatened in this city. 1t is threat
ened because Councils gave the Bell
Company and the American Telc-
phone Company an advantage over the
Southern States Company, which the
former is using for all 1t Is worth 1t
is threatened because Councils deliber-
ately violated their own ordinance.
granting the franchise of the Southern
States Company, and because the Bell
Company has been permitted for more
+ than two years to violate its own fran
ichise by cutting rates from $25 TO SIS.
If the Bell Company shall succeed in
Its purpose to drive the Southern
States out of the field, or. (what will
be equally effectuaD, gain control of il.
IT WILL DO HERE WHAT IT HAS
& DONE IN NEW YORK, and what il
did here, before 1t had even ostensible
competition. 1t charged large figures.
4 and 1t may be expected to charge 500
q year for business houses ana $50 a
year for residences. and there will not
be any limited service in it!
The way to prevent this is TO fore
stall 1t by amending tile Bell and
american Companies franchises. and
not to attempt to remedy it after it
is an accomplished fact High rates
are not the only way by which Il tel
ephone monopoly can gouge the peo-
pie of this city; it can do 1t equally as
effectually by furnishing a poor and
Inadequate service. and that is what IL
Will also do If 1t gets q Monopoly here
TO SECURE BOTH A GOOD SER
y VICE AND REASONABLE RATES
COMPETITION IS ABSOLUTELY
ESSENTIAL. There is but one way
that the continuance of any sort of
competition can be assured in this city
Councils must put the Bell Company
and the American Telephone Company
on the same footing as the Southern
Z States, and fix in their franchises a
specific maximum and minimum rate,
Z and such as VIII not violate the con
tract or the City with the Southern
States Telephone Company.

The Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany says that ii is compelled to
charge more than the Southern states
Company for telephone service because
its service is moro costly. If this be
true. why did the Bell Company for
merry charge $50 year for the same
service the States Company furnishes
for $3S? Before the system of the
states Company was put in, the Bcll
service was the same as that now fur
nished by the States. but it charged
$50 Il year for it. When the States
system was put in. it not only came
down to the rates of the States, but
undercut the States Telephone Com
pany in plain violation OF its franchise.

In New York city the Bell Telephone
Company, under one of its many
aliases, enjoys practical Monopoly.
There it costs ten cents for five
minutes conversation; or the yearly
rate is s240. for an unlimited service.
This is the Bell ideal, and there is
very little to prevent its realization in
this City unless Councils shall take
