Telephone business Increasing.

NEW HAVEN, Feb. 1O.-Figures sup
piled by the Southern New England Tele-
phone Company show strikingly the in
crease OF business as indicated by the in
crease of stations in this State, where the
corporation has a substantial territorial
monopoly. In 1852 the corporation had
4.195 stations of all classes. They
rose very slowly until 1885. when
they numbered $500. During the four
years since then they have almost doubled
to 12.Ol9. Toll stations in nine years
have risen steadily from rs to 500. The
increase has been partly due TO reductions
or variations OF rates.

House of Representatives. He predicted
that If the gold product Of the world in
creased for the next FIVE years, at the same
ratio as 1t had done for the last FIVE years,
ha ,,,e''..saaatsllisis Of the world will be-
gin to ask FOR the characterization Of gold
and the reconciliation Of silver.
The Bimetailic Amendment.
Referring to the bimetallic amendment
reported by Mr.. Aldrich. Chairman of the
Finance Committee Mr. Money said:
Il do not know where the demand for
that amendment came from. Has the
Chairman Of the Finance Committee had
his ear TO the ground and heard the rum
blings in the West against the pending
bill? or has it been proposed in order
again TO deludo the people, in view of the
fact that this is a Presidential campaign
year? The Republican party is absolutely
faithless on the money question. That is
perfectly evident"
Mr.. Money said that he was against the
bill because il was one Of a series of meas
ures that had constantly inflicted suffering
on the people. He called upon Republican
Senators to be honest enough to vote
against the bimetallic amendment because
all of ~ n knew that they did not intend
10 have any bimetallism. and believed that
the single gold standard was the best. The
United States. he declared, could feed the
world, could clothe the world. could equip
the world: but the pending bill proposed
that one Of the country's hands should be
tied.
He said he had never had a more earnest
conviction than that which he now has
that no greater calamity could come upon
the people than the failure on the part Of
their rulers 10 provide in some way for
coming back 10 the money Of the Constitu-
ton. The question TO be solved was
whether the money power Of the world or
the labor and industry Of the world was TO
prevail. And may Cod he exclaimed,

Mr. Chiffon spoke in opposition 10 the
bill, which, he said, represents the Gnan-
ciss policy Of the Administration II treats.
he said, of three great subjects in way TO
do great harm to the nation. These three
subjects were Outstanding legal-tender
currency, national banks. and Government
bonds. The main objects were to refund
the entire national debt in longtime gold
bonds. to give greater monopoly and surer
perpetuity to national banks. and TO de-
stroy all future prospect Of Simetailism. SO
far as the power of the Republican party
could accomplish that result
Mr.. Chiffon then went on TO discuss tho
way in which the three subjects mentioned
above are so affected by the bill as to
work harm 20 the people OF this nation
In conclusion he said: THE passage of
this bill is foreordsined. The Republican
party. having control OF the Senate and The
House of Representatives, does not pro-
pose to risk the fate OF another election
when possibly the choice Of Democratic
House OF President may checkmate it's
plans. II this bill becomes a law the
pathway TO correcting its hardships sill
be long and difficult. Bimetallism may
come through the ascondancy OF the Demo-
cratic party, but even then we viii have a
new pernlexity thrust into our faces by the
claim being set up that the bonds and
outstanding obligations of the Government
have been made payable in gold alone"
Mr.. Money also spoke In opposition TO
the bill lie expressed his belief tina. ii
would be the measure as II came from the
House. not the Senate substitute. tha,
would be the basis of the conference re-
port. and finally become a law, because the
House bill had been endorsed by the unani-
NOUS vote Of the Republicans Of the

Mckinley's Chances.

Chicago Dispatch.
NcKinley's chances are not nearly
so good this year as they We're in
1896.
His record is against him. Han
IA 5 friendship is against him The
scandals of the last four years are
against him.
And when election day has ended
next November it will be found that
the people ara against him.
Discussing this matter the New
York Post shrewdly remarks on this
question of the personal equation OF
| the men that disgust is a stronger
motive than vague dread. Men do,
in spite of sage advice. fly from the
ills they have TO evils that they know
not of. Thousands of independent
and republican voters are, beyond all
question. Disguised with President
Mckinley for one reason or another
Therefore, it concludes lit will mot do
to rely upon their distrust OF Mr.
Bryan to prevent them from voting
against Mr.. Mckinley.
1t adds as fact within its own
knowledge. for example, that the
professors of certain New England
college, who were almost unanimous
~ for Mckinley in 1896. are almost
unanimously for Bryan now. and the
reason, it says, assigned by these
professors is that Mckinley has be-
trayed them. and that they no not
intend to be like the fool in the Span
ish proyerb and break leg twice
over the same stone
On the other hand, the general con-
sensus OF opinion is that Bryan has
grown stronger since the campaign |
OF 1896.
In the first place, the million or
more votes taken from Bryan by the
boiling democrats in 1896 have re-
turned to him.
In the second place Il large per cent
OF republican voters will decline to
express approval ut the polls for Me
hinley Imperialism, and again the
church will revolt from tie
support OF Brother Mckinley because
)f his opposition to temperance in
he matter OF army canteens.
IL = L., |
sreat issues OF trusts, Imperialism
md militarism which are espoused
~ Mckinley and denounced by the
masses, it looks as though Mckinley's
hances for reelection were not at
