A GIGANTIC CORPORA
TON

It appears that all the telephones,
telegraphs and cables in this country
are being organized into a gigantic
trust OF combine ton, that will ex-
clude the possibility Of competition,
except by the government. The Ma
tional Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany is $50, 900 900 corporation
formed in New Jersey by the Whitney
.Videner- Elkins syndicate, with !
charter allowing it to do business
any where on the globe. The incor-
porator's plans include an ANAL anna
ton with the We tern Union, the
Postal Telegraph, and the CONNER
cial Cable Companies, and they ex-
pect to cover the whole telephone and
telegraph field in the United States,
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
No charters are to be granted to for
eign companies. An inveterate war
is to be maintained, it is said, against
the Bell telephone interest, and they
propose to either drive that company
out of business, or to compel it to
consent to absorption. 1t is as yet
impossible to obtain exact informa-
ton on this head, but the launchers
of the new combination do not deny
that such a contamination is planned.
New Jersey has been, as is her wont
most complacent in this matter. Ir
the first instance, quiet effort was
made to obtain a law from the New
York Legislature permitting the
States jurisdiction 10 extend owe:
telephones and telegraphs operated
bey> nd the States borders, but, it i:
said, that votes were marked up to-
high, and that business was done OF
more reasonable terms in New Jersey
and an amend~d law was obtained Ell
abling company chartered in tina
State to carry its telephohue and tel
egraph service to any part Of tn
world. The main offices of the neN
combination will be ia New York
and it is understood that Joseph +
Mccall, now secretary OF the Electri
Company of America, will be electe
president. That ends telegraph

BEER WASTED.
Messenger With Two Bottles Could Not
Catch Train.

The boys of the town and some of
the girls will concede hat cool beer on
a hot day is a commodity that could
be utilized to better advantage than to
be wasted on the sands under the car
wheels, says the Cheyenne Leader.
An amusing scene was enacted as the
train from the west pulled out this
morning. \ messenger had been sent
for two bottles of beer and returned
just as the train started. The sender
stood with wild eyes and parched throat
on the platform with arms open. The
messenger ran with all speed that he
was capable of but he was bowlegged
and his feet were not twins and the
train was fast taking its departure, as
the messenger stopped abruptly and in
quick succession fired both bottles.
Again the train Won and the bottles
were crushed beneath the wheels and
the thirsty soil drank up the contents.
In the far off atmosphere of the de-
parting train came the usual word from
the disguised traveller.

Old Man Experience

Old Man Experience
How true it is that theory must give
away to fact. Philosophers and scien-
fists may declare, deduce and deduct.
and the balance of We wise men rea-
son, conclude and conjecture; but
when Old Man Experience comes down
the pike We give him the middle of the
thoroughfare-for he's it. Nobody
else trots in his class. Liars nay fig
ure; but figures won't lie. Four years
currency proposition. Some of us were
right, of course, and some of us wrong;
but even the fellows who were right
had little else than theory On which to
were wrong pinned their path to pre-
JUDGE and professions of an orator
whose grandmother is alleged to have
committed a crime of some sort in '73.
Lots of honest people were misled by
the arguments and conclusions of the
one side which, on counting the votes,
proved to be the minority; and prob
ably a great many equally honest peo-
pie voted with the majority with many
misgivings as to the wisdom of suCh
choice. On the one side were the
champions of the white metal" as
Billium ]. was won to call his follow
gold standard. Mr.. Bryan declared
that the adpotion of the gold standard
would simply ruin the country; would
fasten the dOg-collar of ~plutocracy
about the necks of the middle and la
boring classes, and bring them to the
level of serfs; that prices would con-
tinue to fall; that money would be-
come as scarce as hypocrites in heaven,
and that the end of our great and glor-
ious republic was just around the bend
unless suthin' was done for silver. He
and his henchmen not only made these
declarations from every political
stump in every state; but they proved
them as well by facts" and figures
which were well calculated to deceive.
The gold standard fellows, on the 9TH
er hand, maintained that their plan
meant more money. higher prices and
better times. Which was right? Any
schoolboy can CHESS it, the first time.
-Four years of republican rule has dis
proven absolutely every prediction
made by Mr.. Bryan and his people
and disproven them so effectually and
positively that theory on the PROPOSE
ton has taken a back seat for all time.

High School Boys.

Recently some of the high school
boys of Cheyenne engaged in some
pranks which were o entirely respect
full toward the superintendent of the
city schools. The school board of that
city held a meeting Thursday evening
and adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That with respect to the

the city schools and this board no GER

heard about India during the campaign
of 1896, and similar predictions were
freely made as to the results sure to
follow the establishment of the gold

calamity predictions OF free silver pro-
pagandtsts have been marked by events
of var and famine, the financial and
business conditions of India have i'm

that imports fell off the first year of the

they more than recovered last year.

that boarded gold is coming out under

The democratic governor of Idaho
has the manhood to say that he is en-
tirely responsible for the presence of
troops in the Occur d'Alene mining
district. He deemed the situation such
that it was beyond the power of the
state government to control the lawless
elements and sent an urgent request
to the president for aid, which was
granted him. 1t is gratifying to note
that the democratic party of Idaho has
endorsed the action of their governor.
Only the d~emagogues of other states
are making any attempt to use the
Idaho incident as a campaign issue,
and how they can charge the response
bility upon the republican party is past
