Sueeestion to the Governor.

The more we think Of the matter the more
we are convinced that the Governor ought to
in vestigate the charges which were made
against him in the last campaign In reference
to the enforcement Of the dispensary law.
Various charges were made In the news
papers, and some OF them over the signatures
of reputable citizens. Now, that the election
Is over, he has time to give these gentlemen an
opportunity to tell what they know under
oath. If his constables would summons
them before a competent court Of enquiry
these rumors could be settled one way or the
other.

Activity Of the Insurgents.

or late we have seen much about the acttp.
ity of the Philippine insurgents. Thestrange
part TO US is, that the American Army is rest
ing, waiting to be attacked. Our idea is. that
the army should 60 out and hunt something
to attack, and not let the other fellows do the
hunting. Our soldiers should be the hunters,
and not the hunted.

than the cheapest, and the security Is as good
as the best. This editor insures with him.

ENGLISH HAWTHORN.

The English hawthorn may now be
seen in bloom in front OF No. 633 Con-
gress street, at the head of Park strest.
This Is the historical May flower, and
the one for which the vessel bearing the
Pilgrims was named. When "Queen
Guenever rode on maying with certaine
knights Of he round table clothed all in
greene" 1t was to gather branches OF the
lowering hawthorn with which to decorate
rooms, and the practice continued down
through the Stuart times. Probably the
custom dated back to Druidical days,
but there seems to have been no especial
significance In the hawthorn, except
that 1t blossorned at the right time, for
In Germany the lily of the valley Ia the
mayflower. The difference In seasons be-
tween England and New England, may
BE- seen in the fact that here the haw-
thorn flowers month later. We can i'm
agine how 1t must have delighted the
hearts of the Pilgrims to have found such
a beautiful flower as the trailing arbutus
in bloom on May day. An English
writer recently said, 1T Is almost a.
beautiful and sweet as our own May"
Naturally 1t could not be quite as sweet,
but our readers can go and see for them
selves. 1t is rather curious that the trail
ing arbutus does not grow near Boston.
At least, the writer sought IL vainly fol
ten miles around that city In the '40's,
so that the Puritans probably did not
find 1t, and they would not have appro-
ciated Ii as they were opposed to thu
pagan custom of celebrating May day.

Two recent occurrences have badly in
jured the prospect OF the Democratic
party being able to pose successfully In
the coming campaign as the great trust
killer-one the almost unanimous vote OF
the Democratic members Of the House
against the proposed constitutional
amendment comforting upon the national
government the power TO regulate and
restrain monopolistio combinations, and
the other the discovery that a good man y
proininent TAmmany officials are heavy
stockholders In the Toe trust. With the
public sick of 10 to 1, and the Democratic
party dabbling in trusts and interpos-
ing to prevent effective legislation to con-
troll them, nothing seems to be Left for
Mr. Bryan TO shout about but imperial
ism, and even here he is lame, for his In
fuence undoubtedly secured the Demo

The argument for . ,andonment was that

Washington, June 2.-only one vote
was cast IL the House today against the
Littleiield antitrust bill to amend the
Sherman act of 1890 to make 1t more
effective In the prosecution OF trusts
and combinations, their agents, officers
or attorneys. Mr.. Mann, Republican. of
Illinois, cast the negative vote. The bill.
according to the statements Of the Repub-
lican leaders, goes TO the limit offhe au-
thority of Congress under the constitu-
ton. All the Democratic minority
amendments except one were defeated.
That was an amendment declaring that
nothing in the act should be construed to
apply to trades unions or labor organi-
zations. All except eight Republicans
voted for It.
The bill amends the Sherman antitrust
law so as to declare either a contract or
combination In the form OF a trust or
conspiracy in restraint of commerce
among the states or with foreign nations
illegal and every party to such contract
or combination guilty of a crime, pun

THE CHEAPENING TELEGRAPH
From Ainslee's Magazine.

From Ainslees Magazine.
The increase i'm the use of the tele-
graph for business purposes has been
accompanied by a steady reduction in
the cost of messages. When the first
Atlantic cable was laid the price of a
twenty word message between London
and New York was 800, or s. per
word. Now the commercial rate be-
tween the two cities is twenty-five
cents per word. To telegraph ten
words from Chicago to New York in
1866 cost sos. Now it costs forty
cents
Telegraphing to distant parts of the
world is still an expensive business.
The rate per word for a message from
San Francisco to Auckland, New Zea-
land, for example, is $2.S7. From New
York to Manila the rate is $2.4j. The
charge is not always in ratio to the
distance. The rate from New York to
some South American or West Indian
ports is nearly two dollars per word,
but in reaching these points the mes
sages travel twice across the Atlantic.
