THE PROPOSED TELEGRAPH.
TELEPHONE TRUST.

For a year or more rumors Of pro-
posed consolidation of all the large
telegraph and telephone interests of the
to time. The general theory has been
that the Western Union Telegraph
Company and the American Bell Tele-
phone Company were disposed to COM
bine, but that the Postal Telegraph
and Cable Company was holding aloot.
There have been uniform and emphatic
denials by officials of all the companies
in interest of any purpose to combine,
but these would have been forthcoming
in any case.
Should this proposed consolidation
occur the ultimate result is likely to be
more rigid public control of tele-
ever obtained heretofore. 1t would do
more. indeed, to promote the agitation
for government ownership and control
of these utilities than anything that
has hitherto occurred. There has been
a tendency for the last few years to
urge government ownership and con-
troll of telegraph and telephone lines
as an experiment to determine the
practicability of similar ownership of
even larger interests. The era of poor
er service and increased charges that
would follow the formation of tele-
graph and telephone trust would make
millions of converts to the government
ownership theory, while this trust
would become conspicuous target for
antitrust legislation.
Alluring as this proposed monopoly
of the means of rapid transmission of
intelligence may appear. it is the most
precarious that has yet been attempted.
Unlike the Sugar Trust, or the Tobac-
CO Trust, or the Oil Trust, its property
would be scattered all over the country.
and it would be equally vulnerable to
the law and the lawless in every State
of the Union. The uprising against toll
roads in Kentucky and Indiana. requir-
ing the militia to suppress them. and
the hurried migration from State to
State Of the general offices of several
of the trusts to escape process of the
law. suggest two most unpleasant pos
sibilities for Telephone and Telegraph
Trust. Such a trust would not be profit
able in the long run, and trusts are not
organized for glory or amusement.

LoNGENEcKER's SURVEY OF 1T.

Readers will doubtless recall with 10Y
Hon. Joel NJ. Longenecker. He is the
orator who made a speech for McKin-
ley to the Grand Army Camp at Chi
cago recently, and has otherwise man
aged to invest the name of Longe-
necker with notoriety as widespread
as 1t is diverting. Mr.. Longenecker's
latest appearance is as contributor to
the Chicago Records debate on terri
toriaI expansion. After promising that
but 10000 of the 100000 inhabitants
of the Philippines are opposed to the
Americans-the $4,000 already killed do
not count-Mr. Longenecker lays down
this decidedly novel propositions:
IF our Constitution is not broad
enough to carry out these plans of gov
eminent. amend the Constitution, and
instead OF debating and contcnding as
to what is constitutional or unconstitu-
tional, our statesmen should discuss
what amendments are necessary in
order to take care of and do Justice to
these people. If our Constitution does
not follow the flag, and it becomes nee
essary for it to take a trip and follow
the flag, let us give 1t legs and power
to follow IT.
Why has an anxious country not rec
ognized earlier Mr.. Longenecker's SUI
perior facilities for getting a compre-
hensive view of the situation? If the
Constitution does not provide for colo
nialism. with it's attendant blessings of
Militarism and Carpet baggery, why
amend the Constitution? Could any
thing be simpler than that? The I'm
perialists are to be felicitated upon
their acquisition of Hon. Joel nj.
Longenecker as chief of their observa-
ton corps.

JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS.
ATLANTA Constitution.l

In retiring from the exactions OF
daily editorial work on The Constitu-
ton, Mr.. Joel Chandler Harris takes
with him the esteem of all who have
been associated with him since his con-
ncction with this paper.
But the parting is not the parting
of death. for Mr.. Harris will continue
to contribute to our columns whenever
n subject strikes his fancy. so that
whenever the reader detects delicate
vein of human nature. he may know
that habit has forced the laborer back
into the field.
To speak of the career of MFR. Harris
would be to relate n well-known story.
His boyhood days in Putnam, his early
journalistic ventures. his coming to
The Constitution a quarter of CEN
fury ago, his creation of the character
of "Uncle Remus' and the fame it
brought to him-all can be readily re-
called. 1t will be a pleasure to his
friends to know that he retires with
in a happy family circle which he has
built up, aided by a competence which
will enable him to view the future with
conaposure.

THE STATE PRESS.

Elsewhere will be found an editorial
from the Louisville Post on the Caleb
Powers trial. The Post is n pronounced
democratic paper. 1t shows pretty
conclusively that this is n political
persecution of Powers. and that the
Kentucky Democracy Is responsible for
it."-Sprit of the Valley.
The Post is not a pronounced" or
other sort of a Democratic paper. 1t is
an organ of the Louisville and Nash
vile railway. which brought down the
mountaineers for Caleb Powers.
Imperialism is the paramount dam
ger that threatens the future of the
Republic. The Trusts constitute a
present and constantly menacing dan
ger to the prosperity and happiness of
the citizen. '-Brunswick Gazette
And If the trusts are allowed to
maintain and strengthen their grin on
the Government they can be depend
ed on to help Imperialism to get a grin
on the future. The Trust is Imperial
ism in commerce. and the Imperialists
will hang together.
The Accomack News says that coun
ty is preparing to shake off apathy:
THE Democrats of Accomack will
wake up and give the whoop after the
weather cools off a little. One of the
close county counters says that Jones
majority in Accomack will be over
1000. But this is mere guess work.
and there is much need of work in diff
ferent parts of the county. The cam
patgn should be one of education. and

"Claremont will never be troubled
with tidal wave: we are on n bluff
100 feet above the James."-Claremon
Herald.
The Republican leaders are on a
bluff" good deal over hundred
feet high, but the premonitory symp-
toms of a tidal wave perturb them for
all that.
AS the Northern Neck News sees II
Congressman Jones will have q walk
over:
Even the Republicans in the First
district are inclined to consider the
nomination OF Mr.. James NJ. Stubs.
OF Gloucester, for Congress, as more of
an honorary distinction than anything
else. The leading white Republicans
from Accomac to Spottsylvania realize
that Mr.. Jones record and the senti-
ment of the voters is such that his re-
election Is foregone conclusion. Nor
does the News believe that under the
circumstances Mr.. Stubbs can hope to
control or carry any large portion of
the more respectable and intelligent
element of his party"

DR.. Frederick Starr Is professor OF
anthropology In the University of Chi

the theory that the physical conditions
surrounding Americans will in time de-
velop the physical characteristics in

Times
He has measured the cheek bones of
1900 PENNSYLVANIA Dutch children. and

from Engltshmen already by the re-
semblance of the former to Indians,
with whom the French are, of course,
intimately acquainted"
Here, indeed, is a poser for us. Have
you noted an altitudinous tendency in
your cheek bones? Are your sub-cut-
aneous pigments slowly assuming the
color of an old-time still worm shining
in use? DO your fingers Jingle at sight

Ever since Teddy, the Terror, was
made the tall of the MCKINLEY kite the

After his famous license and disaster

or less picturesque accounts OF the YER
bal spanking he received from the Re
publican chairman abounded.
1t is now the turn of the strenuous
one to do a little squelching, and of
Hon. Mark Hanna to be the souelchee.
AS senseless and iil-advised as was
Roosevelt's libel on Democrats. it was
not more injudicious than Hanna's de-
claration at Chicago that he did not
believe there was a trust in this coun-
try. How Will the $4,000 commercial
travellers who have been thrown out
of work by trusts regard this defense
of them by the man who controls Re-
publican policies with n rod of iron?
How will the operatives. made idle by
the closing of plants bought UP by

zen who is taxed on every article of
use and necessity put any faith in Re-
publican opposition to trusts after
this?
Teddy should come down hard on
