The Electrical Review, a high
authority, states that there are now
more than 2,27S,0O0 telephones in
use I'm the, United States. They
serve for yearly total of probably
5000, 0Oo, 900, calls, at very moder-
ate estimate.
The saving in time and labor
which is implied by these figures is
incalcuable. Making due allowan
for the vast number of calls which
are of a social nature and for those
additional. millions which might be
dispensed with at small cost, if any,
in business, the letter writing, rum
ming of er1ands, use of vehicles and
the waste of time in fruitless journ-
eys which the telephone service
renders needless can hardly be
imagined. It is impossible to
measure such stupendous facts in
statistics.
What every one understands is
that to strike the telephone out of
modern life would be an enormous
loss. It would be such a setback as
the civilized world has not expert
enced in modern times.

NAL future.
Every day it is clearer that all the
great nations of the world are NOV
ing on in sharply contested race as
to who will be able to supply at the
cheapest price the necessities which
man requires. The French papers
say that on account of the vastnees
of our agricultural products, and
therefore the comparative cheapness
of food, no nation of the world can
rival the United States. Political
discomfort will surely follow the
severe industrial depression in
Europe, and no one can forecast how
violent orr revolutionary that dis
content may shape.
The effort of the German land hold

In England the condition is grow
ing bad but it is not yet acute. Even
the termination Of the South African
war, though it may help British
finances, viii not tend to ameliorate
British trade depression, because the
enormous expenditures in South
Africa will cease, and that will cut
off very large employing bodies
in Great Britiao. The vast flow
from the British treasury has main,
tanned the prices of manufactured
commodities. When that support is
withdrawn from British labor, any
one can perceive that there must
be resulting stagnation and dis
tre6s.

INDEPENDENT TELEPHONE.

INDEPENDENT TELEPHONE.
The trust and monopolies of Sioux
Falls are rapidly being smashed and
the next one to suffer the fate Of all
evil-doers will be the Bell telephone
company. Owing to the poor SER
vice of the present company local
parties have interested themselves
in the building and operating Of q
new line and matters have now pro-
crossed so far that the independent
establishment may be looked upon
as certainty. E. w. Coughran,
who was interested in the movement
by Mayor Burnside, returned the
first of the week from a trip east,
where he had visited factories and
investigated the telephone business
in all it's branches. He is very en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of a
new system, as there has never been
a year in which so many improve
ment have been made in telephones
and central offices as the one just
closing.e In speaking of the system
to be used proposed for their line
Mr.. Cough1an said multiple switch
board would be used, which puts
every operator in touch with every
subscriber, and enables each operat-
or to make q connection between
any two subscribers without ringing
w another section of the switch
board. The central energy system
will be another improvement.
This system does away with the in
dividual batteries on each phone,
all the energy being supplied from
the central office. Every phone
will have a long distance transmitter.
and it is expected that these can be
furnished for less money than the
Bell people furnish ordinary phones
for. Another great difference will
be that the new company will give
each subscriber a distinct party line,
instead of having three to six on a
line as is now the case.
With all these advantages the new
company is hopeful of making bid
for public favor and receiving the
hearty support Of the public. Itmay
be taken for granted that the Bell
people will endeavor to fight the new
company and cordial support must
be received in order to beark the
monopoly.
The incorporators Of the company
with the exception of one, are local
gentlemen and the stock will be
sold to local parties as far as possible.

The incorporatora are E. W. Cough

poration, which give the name of

Sioux Falls, will be fled this week.
The company is capitalized at $780,
600. Already several business men
of the city have offered to take
block of the stock.

being from eight to ten other per-

came out Of the cabinet room, and
his eye fell on Gen. Miles. He ad-
vanced rapidly towards the general,
saying;
"Good afternoon, Gen. Miles, 'ad-
ding, II will see yon in a moment in

The president intended this as an
invitation to Gen. Miles to retire at

there are 100000 persons out of work
in Germany alone, of whom $4,000
are in Berlin. The situation is real.
~ graver than it has been in many
years past, for there is not only no
present employment for labor, but
the future looks even more dismal,
and few can see any positive relief
until the next summer rolls around.
The depression is caused by over
production and under consumption
of manufactured articles, a condition
to which all countries are liable but
which is more accentauted now, be-
cause it follows a period of wild
speculations and imitation in Ger
many which has naturally increased
the dearness o. living: The Kaiser
maintains his vast armies of soldiers,
who are tax eaters, rather than tax
producers, and that incubus weighs
upon the laboring classes. :
There is no one who can forecast
the outcome of this grave matter.
If the landowners succeed in their:
plans to raise the price of meat by.
shutting out foreign foods, the
discomfort may become revolution
airy. To ameliorate the economic
troubles it is supposed that the
Reichstag may make large appro.
priation for feeding the destitute
poor. Something must be done and
the remedy, if any there be will tax
the utmost resource of German
craftsmanship.
In France, the depression is bad,
but not so severe as in Germany,
because there has been less specula-
ton and less imitation, and therefore
the change in condition have not
been 80 extreme. France has q
wonderful vitality under severe
pressure, and as all her people are
economical and thrifty, they may
wear through the winter.
