triumphed over the democracy. and much
curiosity existed as to what his attitude
would be In a national body toward nation
al questions. He was a man of great en-
ergy, of good business standing, and was
accredited with purpose to develop VIZ
ginia with the aid of outside capital. This
suggested permanent opposition to the de-
mocracy, and the necessity Of forcing Cen
eral Malone out Of the party Immediately,
the Idea being that If he once thoroughly
identified himself with the republicans his
power in Virginia would depart.
The task was intrusted 20 Senator Ben
Hill of Georgia. at that time the most ac-
complished rhetorician and debater On the
democratic side Of the Senate chamber. He
was put forward ito smoke General Ma
hone out The contest was unequal.
Shrewd as General Malone was. and fully
capable in ordinary circumstances of TAX
ing care of himself in any political COM
pany, he was neither an orator Eor a
trained debater, and he proved no match
for the Georgian in an encounter carefully
planned by the latter. and On ground where
the Georgian had few equals In either par
ty. Mr.. Hill carried his point. He put Cen
eral Malone at a disadvantage In the con-
troversy, and by making his cooperation

short time General Malone became t. full
fedged republican. and rapidly lost his hold
on the situation at home.
1t was in 1889 that General Malone made
his last stand. He for governor of Vir-
ginia. and was disastrously beaten. The
purpose now is to force Mr.. McLaurin if
possible into an open declaration of SYM
pathy with the republicans. and then ap-
peal to the old-time prejudices in South
Carolina and snow him under. Ills speech

The Costly "Nrasured Service"

\ suit has been brought in the District
court by a telephone subscriber which en-
phasizes the fact. frequently observed by
the telephone users Of Washington since
the beginning OF the rate controversy. that
the measured service proposition Is not
what the company claims 1t to be. One of
the most persistent arguments advanced by
the company in opposition to the charlering
of new corporation in the District Is that
it is doing everything In Its power to serve
the people at a low rate. citing the meas
ured service an instance. During the
PAST winter the president of The company
came forward with long. detailed expla-
nation and defense of the measured service
to show that 1t met the desires of the peo-
pie for cheap telephony. The case now filed
in court is perhaps fair type of many 9TH
ers. The subscriber was persuaded to sign
a measured service contract for S76 a year,
and he finds that it now costs him more
per annum to transact his ordinary tee-
phone business than it did before ON the
unlimited basis, high though the rate for
the latter service was and IS.
The scale of calls is devised TO convey
the impression that the subscribers needs
will be adequately cared Cor within the
prescribed limit, without recourse to 'ex-
ira charges. In some cases the subscriber
has managed to hold himself down to the
limit and to keep his annual bill within
reason. But in other instances the bills
have mounted to figures nevH- before
known when the city was receiving uni
fOrmly unlimited service. 1t is fair to as
sumo that there has been proportionateiy
less telephoning under the measured ser
vice system than under the old unlimited
practice, for it stands to reason that the
subscriber. finding his limit approaching
or passed, VIII grow economical with his
calls. whereas formerly he had no 0cca-
sion to stint himself. If the bills are
running higher than of old 1t is plain that
the telephone company Is receiving a pro-
portiOnately greater return for the service
than ever, despite its claims of reduction.
This would indicate in turn that the scale
of prices adopted for the measured service
has been made arbitrarily high, for it is
assured from the telephone company's own
statements in court that handsome profit
is reaped on the unlimited service basis
What, then, must be its profits on the
measured service basis, when there are
presumably, fewer calls and apparently
larger revenue? The Telephone Subscribers
Association, which has already done ex-
cellent work in the fight for rate reduc-
tion. might render further valuable service
to the community by securing statistics
from the measured service subscribers and
analyZing them to throw light on this new
question of cost and profit

fN SECRETARY Of State John w Foster is
the latest American statesman to uphold
the power of this government to denounce
the Clayton -Bulwer treaty and to declare
himself in favor of that step in case Eng
land by further objection to complete
American control of the Nicaraguan canal
should make il necessary. General Foster
expresses himself in the current number of
tn Independent. in we'll reasoned paper
temperate in tone. and strengthened by
historical precedents bearing upon the sub
ject. He takes no new ground. but he
makes his position irnpregnable upon the
old ground. and as an authority on inter-
national law and usage his views will at
tract wide attention.
The rejection by England of the amended
Hay-Pauncefote treaty threw US back upon
tn" Clayton-Bulwer treaty. and the ques-
tions as TO that old paper are these: %
What is its value today? and (2y If it has
none. what is the duty of this government
with respect To an early Inauguration of
the work Of digging the Nicaraguan canal?
General Foster answers both questions

VdIing American sentiment of today. The
American contention is that the old treaty

no scheme to defraud. Thereupon the pre-
siding Judge dismissed the indictment and
the case Is at an end. The lack Of law
against kidnapping in some Of the states
was clearly shown after the Cudahy af-
fair, and several legislatures have made
haste to supply the deficiency. in few
cases even proposing a death penalty.
There Is no law on this subject in force in
the District. and the people Of this COM
munity are eager that such statute be
enacted at the coming session. If this
matter is taken up then. as it should he.
the opportunity would be favorable to pre-
pare law which will cover all interstate
phases Of the crime. so that such threats
may henceforth be adequately and surely
punished

From the Boston Herald.
The circumstances under which the ca
reer of Representative Boutelle of Maine
closed were pathetic. He had been
vigorous man intellectually, and he lost
his mental power in the midst Of public
usefulness, There is, however. the conso-
lation to those interested in his memory of
knowing that he died leaving a reputation
which had grown in general estimation
with his later years, and that ne had a
hold upon the affection of his immediate
constituents which had induced them to
pay him the tribute of a final election to
Congress at a time when there was but
faint prospect Of his being able to act in
the office Mr.. Boutelle was always an
earnest man. He was an earnest partisan
in the early period of his public career.
but he had broadened into statesmLnshiD
as it progressed. He never ceased to be
true to republicanism, though when new
issues arose he found his views of what
repubiicanism should be in mis- own convic-
tions. rather than accepting them at the
hands of others. He thus took his place
worthily among Names greater represent
atives in the national councils.

Salutary Discipline at West Point.

The summary punishments inflicted upon

need excite no sentimental heroics nor in

question lay between the maintenance of

Bresci's Suicide.
From the Philadelphia Record.

Bresci, the assassin of King Humbert,
had doubtless been brought to realize that
a swift death at the hands Of the execu-
toner is not the EXTREMIST possible punish
ment for murder. The death penalty has
been abolished in Italy. but the substitution
of solitary confinement in dark cell, with
out any occupation or opportunity to OBJ
tain sight OF human face or hear huma n
voice. cannot be regarded as having been an
act Of humanity toward those found guilty
of capital crimes. A form Of punishment
which slowly but surely drives its victims
to madness and suicide Is more cruelty vim
dictive than the brief agony of death by
the rope. the ak or the electric spark.
