THE WRATH OF THE
IMMACULATE
HANNA.


The American people must have read.
on saturday morning. Mr.. Hanna s
speech at Lincoln. Neb.. with mingled
emotions. or all the truly remarkable
oratorical performances of the gouty
statesman from Cuyahoga county, the
Lincoln speech was far and away the
most moving and amazing. When Mr..
Hanna declared at Chicago that there
are no trusts. the statement was met
With n popular guffaw that was more
expressive than dignifed; when still
later he declared that the distinguished
statesman who heads the Democratic
ticket was hypocrite, there was a
fortnights sensation. the final conclu-
sion being that Mr.. Hannas leg must
nave been unusually troublesome, or
that he had looked too long upon the
wine when it was red
Neither of these explanations will
suffice to account for the Lincoln out
burst. That will stand for all time to
come as quite unique in American
politics. We do not recall that at any
previous time it was considered as in
entire accord with the amenities, for
the chairman of one political party to
make n pilgrimage to the home town
of the Presidential candidate of the
other. to tell his neighbors that he was
not fit to be constable" or to hurl
things in his teeth and characterize
them as being false as hell" This
nigh water-mark of intelligent and
gentlemanly discussion was never at
tanned until Hon. Marcus Alonzo Han
ma set out to save the nations honor.
we have no means OF knowing how
the higher minded Republicans regard
this Lincoln incident; we do know what
Democrats would have thought of Mr..
Bryan had he called Mr.. Mckinley a
'slanderer" when he was passing
through Canton the other day.
This, however, is the more somber
side of the incident. There is an
abundance of lightsomeness and festiv-
ity about it. What for example, could
he more productive of hilarity than the
spectacle of Hon. Mark Hanna. crimson
with wrath and cXertion. hurting in
anybody's teeth the assertion that he
is boodler In politics? What extra
NdSuilHd III Two Thousand years, eQua Is
Hon. Mark Hanna repelling with scorn
the base insnuation that he had ever,
ever used money to acquire votes :?
How superb and how superluous!
What American has soul so honey
combed with suspicion and distrust of
his fellow men. that he can believe
Hon. Mark Hanna has anything up his
sleeve. or has had. more substantial
and persuasive than his peerless ora
tory? Who believes that any faint of
filthy lucre clings to the Hanna digits ?
Who believes for one moment that his
recent descent on Wall Street was for
any purpose other than to make social
calls. or secure contributions for the
foreign missionaries? What should Mr..
Hanna know OF campaign funds and
bribery? a pure and eloquent person
has been cruelty. cruelty wronged! We
are suffused with a dumb but glorious
admiration of Hon. Mark Hanna in the
act of hurting back things in the teeth
OF his constituencies detractors!

MAKE AN END OF FAvoRITIsM.

The virginian-Pil has no ill-will
whatever toward either the Bell Tele-
phone Company, the American Tele-
phone Company of Virginia. or the
Southern States Telephone Company.
What it is asking, and all 1t is asking,
is that Councils give each one of them
an equal chance for public patronage,
by imposing on each of them the same
restrictions 1t does not desire to see
either of the two Bell companies, or
the Southern States Company. driven
out of the field, or crippled or absorbed.
1t believes that it would be better for
equal conditions-conditions that will
effectually protect the public interest.
and at the same time afford each OF
them an opportunity to do profitable
business
Theoretically. it would be better for
this city or any city to have only one
telephone system, If the citizen was
duly protected against extortionate
rates. Practically. two system are per-
haps rhe better because as we have
pointed out before. that assures Efficient
serricc--lchich is just as important as q
cheap service. If one company had a
Monopoly. of the field, 1t could furnish
a service that would be dear at any
price.
Until the Bell Company showed its
hand by its new schedule of rates. the
telephone situation in this city was
very satisfactory. Had it's franchise
imposed the same restrictions as TO
maximum rates as the Southern States
franchise. the situation would have re-
manned satisfactory. 1t would not have
been all that every one could desire,
but the telephone service would have
been ms satisfactory as reasonable peo-
pie expect.
If the franchises of the two Bell COM
panies are amended by putting in them
maximum and minimum rates. this will
merely restore tile old status with Ger
4 tain Improvements, and will assure
Its permenence. We say "the two Bell
companies" because the American
Telephone Company of Virginia is q
Bell concern, and was the original
offender against the franchise of the
states Company. Though it does
long distance business only, It's fran
chise permits 1t TO do a local business,
and was granted in 1897; whereas the
Bell franchise-which is nearly a copy
was not granted till 1888.
To put the same restrictions upon all
these companies is SO mapifestly the
only fair and just course. that we can
not believe Councils will hesitate. A
large majority of Councilmen have
already expressed themselves as in
favor of the same maximum and mini
mum rates for all telephone companies,
and speedy and equitable settlement
OF the matter is expected by the citi-
zens of this city. The two Bell COM
panics extorted the advantages given
them over the Southern States at a
time when q wildcat decision of a Fede-
raj Judge placed the city at the mercy
Of theee companies. They compelled

a STITCH IN TIME.

Good, strong, earnest heavy strokes
always leave an impression. When
they fall al the proper time and place
results follow-good or bad, according
to the manner in which they are d.
rected.
Now the Board of Trade and Bust

blows. 1t is able to strike iudiciously
and timely Let us. therefore, trust to
this superb organization for effectual
aid in this hour OF need. But more
particular. let the people and the Pub
lie Press stand by and ably support
the Board of Trade. This is the way
to put success beyond doubt.
The NirGinian- Pilot is especially and
peculiarly in a position to recommend
this step. 1t has not been so very long
since the Councils of the City of Nor
folk granted the American and Ben

strictions in its franchise as i'm the

is well known. The Councils. then in
Office, refused to restrict the American
and Bell franchise to the maximum
rate required of the Southern States
Company, but allowed the American
and Bell Companies carte blanche to
charge whatever rate might suit their
pleasure.
We gave yesterday in the leading ed
itorial of the VirGinian-Pi a fun ac-
count of precisely: why no maximum
