Superintendent J. r. Dunton, in award
ing the diplomas, gave a plain, practical
address to the pupils on their school work
and its preparation for life, with words of
commendation for the .faithfulness of both
teachers and pupils.
This closed the exercises, but while the
audience was dispensing the graduates, as
usual, held an informal reception on the

their friends

School-mates, as we bid you farewell, it

Classmates, that once lOnged-for day has

those ways must diverge. Let the good
wishes of all follow each one into the realms
of learning, or the world of active work land

spells. 1t would seem therefore that an
affection confined to women must have
its cause in the womanly nature. There
is no doubt that a diseased condition of

BY the federal census Of 1890, four

million male residents OF voting age.
There will be no addition to the

the next highest in the list, being
several hundred thousand votes each
short of q million. la Michigan, aliens
under certain conditions, can vote; in
Texas, six months residence in the
election precinct is required, pro-
vision which much reduces the actual

Telenhnne Rates Here and in Europe.

The extent to which the American
people have allowed themselves to Re
DIed and imposed upon by the tele-
phone companies is fairly illustrated
Nv reference to the telephone Sys
TENS OF Sweden aud Norway, and
comparisons made by the st. Paul
Pioneer Press. According to an
article in the April number OF the
Forum, by Hon. S. J. BarrOws, under
the head of 'Some Things We May
Learn from Europe" the charge for
telephone in Stockholm is less than
$40 a year. There is about one tele-
phone in use for each 100 persons.
In ChriStiania there are frequent
public telephone stations, where Cne
may talk for five minutes for 2 cents.
Even at these modest figures the SER
vice is said to have enriched the
stockholders.
In this country rates for exchange
service vary from S25 to $3.50 per an
mum. There is no evidence that 10
any city the service is better than
that rendered in Stockholm for $40.
There is 10 evidence that the legiti-
mate expenses of maintaining the ser
vice are much higher here than there.
Furthermore, it cannot be claimed
that the telephone service in Stock
holm can be maintained at a lower
rate because of more general use OF
the instruments. The number in use
in the Twin Cities, for instance, shows
a much higher ratio than one instru-
ment to each 100 Of population.
1t is simply the easy good nature Of
the American citizen, his desire not to
appear "niggardly," and his willing
ness that everybody who serves him
should be well rewarded, that have
made him such an easy prey to extOr-
tiOn in the telephone business.
With such facts as the above p ad
before the public eye, American Jele-
phone companies will soon be COM
PEELED either to match the European
rates or to give place to Others who
will. The rapid expiration of all
essential patents is making free field
where there should be no favOrs shown.
But since a multiplication Of competi-
tors is not desirable, one path to lower
rates would appear to lie through the
requirement of the telephone plant by
the municipality, but With its opera
tiOn 10 the hanGs of a lessee, elected
after free and open competition under
a sVeCifc schedule Of rates. 1t is this
