THE COMMITTEE AND THE
COUNCILS.

The Telephone Committee OF Coun-
ellis has adjourned over again. AT this
the Virginian-Pilo is not surprised.
That this committee would put off re-
porting as long as possible and then
report in favor of the Bell Telephone
Company, the Virginian- Pilot has un-
derstood for some time. The reasons
s for this opinion it does not care to give
at this time, but they were quite con-
elusive.
We would. however. suggest that IL
the public will keep it's eye on the
alignment of the members of Councils
on this question as 1t has been given
in the Virginlan Pilot. and compare
this with the final vote on the PROPOSE
ton When 1t shall be taken in the
Councils, 1T may be able to acquire
some valuable information as to who
are faithful public servants and who
are not.
So far as the report of this particular
committee is concerned. it does not
greatly matter what it shall be-as we
pointed out several days ago That
the majority of 1t should be anxious
for a unanimous report, however, is
both natural and significant. The ma
jority Of the committee and the Bell
Telephone Company are no doubt
equally anxious to avoid the inconve-
nfence of a minority report, which
would compel a hearing of the question
before Councils on it's merits.
That a majority of the committee is
not in a hurry to stultify itself before
the citizens Of this city, is proof that
there remains with it some remnants
Of discretion.

WHY NOT CHARGE STORAGE ;

The Bell Telephone Company has not
found the practical enforcement of ex-
tortionate rates on the citizens of Nor
folk holiday task by any means. An
unreasonable and unruly constituency
has not only protested against benevo-
lent assimilation of its bank account.
but has largely chosen to dispense with
the Bell telephone service as the pre-
ferahle alternative.
1T would seem, however, to be an
easier matter to get n Bell telephone
put in than to get 1t taken out. When
the new $50 rate for business houses
went into effect. the first of Novem-
Der. dozens of business men declined to
renew contracts at that figure. and or
dered the Bell phones to be taken out.
The Bell Company, it seems. adopted
the device of disseminating the ser
vice, but not removing the telephones
a list of those who have refused TO re-
new contracts at the $50 rate is fur

to say, when these numbers are called

Bell phone.
NOOiN CGCiii tlltItlOIt, lndl Int
Bell Company is far from being conf
dent of its position. or that it expects
TO be able to compel these rccalcItrant
subscribers to use its service. It is no
unreasonable construction of its con-
duct TO say that it wishes to be In n
position TO resume business when
Councils shall have fixed maximum
rates for il. without going TO the trout
BILE and expense of taking out it's
phones and putting them back. Or
does it know, as we have said, that if
Councils do not put it on the same
footing with the Southern States Com
pany. it will shortly have Il Monopoly
of the field and the business men who
have now discontinued it's service will
then be compelled to take it and pay
whatever the Bell Company is pleased
to charge for it.

bonds and Mr.. Bryan should direct his
Secretary of the Treasury to sort out
some of his limited stock of silver dol
lars for the purpose OF redeeming the
bonds? Would 1 not Immediately de-
post the silver in my bank and draw
checks against ii, just as i would If the
Secretary had exercised the more ra-
tional policy of paying me with n sub
treasury check? ~
For those who prefer n gold bond
Congress provided the means of obtain
ing it by offering the new . per cent.
bonds upon terms of conversion ap-
preaching the market value of the old
bonds. The only exceptions made We're

Mr.. Cleveland under 81 distinct alterna-
tive proposition in regard to part of
them that higher price would have
been paid If thew had been gold bonds.
Nobody doubts that these bonds will
be as good as gold, and it is wholly
immaterial whether some Secretary of
the Treasury pursues ,ne infantie pol
icy of paying silver dollars upon these
bonds instead of checks when. as l
have shown, all money of the United
States Is convertible into gold. These
are the distinct provisions of the new
law and thew cannot fail to maintain
the gold standard except by the deliber-
ate violation of the duty imposed by
the law upon the Secretary of the Urea
sury.

THERE is NEED FOR WORK.


There is need that tomorrow and on
Tuesday active and effective work
should be done to get out in every pre-
cinct in this district the full Demo-
cratic vote for Mr.. Maynard. the nomi-
nee for Congress. There are uncertain
factors in the race that make it i'm
peratiye that no chances be taken by
Democrats who think their votes are
not needed. In view of these uncertain
quantities Democrats may easily be too
confident. A persistent effort has been
made to injurc Mr.. Maynard with Ia
boring men by deliberate and unscru-
pulous Misrepresentation of his record
upon several matters. and how far this;
has succeeded in it's purpose is entirely
problematic.
The Pilot is confident that
f3dr. Maynard will receive plurality OF
the vote, but unless the plurality is
considerable. for all practical purposes,
Mr.. Maynard might as well be defeat
ed. IL the next House is Republican. a
contest would be made and DR.. Wise
