a TELEPHoNE aMETER''

Thomas Baret, Of Sydney. New South
Wales. has recently obtained patent for an
invention by which the actual length of the
time that a telephone is used on any occasion
can be measured so that the company may
charge the subscriber only for the actual serv-
ice he has had. A subscriber who, In the
course Of day should use the telephone for
an hour would pay for that length of time,
and mot the same amount as another sub
scriber would pay who. would perhaps use
his telephone several hours each day, The
telephone meter consists of clockwork
mechanism which Is quiet when the telephone
is not in use, but which begins to move the
moment the receiver Is lifted from the hook.
and SO registers the length of time the In
strument is employed. The apparatus is SO
arranged that the up and down movement Of
the lever switch winds UP the clockwork. A
dial plate Indicates how long the telephone

THE CARNEGIE INSTITUTE

Examination OF Andrew Carnegie's plans
for the Carnegie Institute, to which he
is to give 100000 at the start, show
that it. is to undertake work that is
without parallel in this country, though
productive of great good in Europe.
Our American universities, like our
American life, are conducted on the high
pressure theory OF achievement. The
American is apt to count that day lost
that does not witness the contamination
of some undertaking. 1T frets him to

no matter how much he may have done.

A Rival in Tin.

Jan. IA syndicate is being organized in
Wall street to float rival to the American
Tin Can company, which is owned by the
Moore Brothers of Chicago. 1t is understood
the new company is to have capital stock
Of $1OO, 100000. 1t is believed the plan has
the backing Of the United States Steel cor
poration and will be an adjunct of the Ameri-
can Tin Plate company, which the steel cor
poration bought from the Moores.
About two months ago the interests behind
the American Can company tried to sell their
stock to the steel corporation. Mr.. Morgan
declared that the price was too high.
The American Can company buys two-thirds
Of the annual production of the American Tin
Plate company, and after Mr.. Morgan's re-
fusal to buy control the Moore Brothers arc
said to have told him that they would make
their own tin plate.
Pneumatic Tool Combine.
Charles R. Flint is promoting combination
of the principal makers of pneumatic tools
who did not enter the 81, 500, 900 Chicago pneu-
matte tool combination. 1t will be known as
the Standard Pneumatic Tool company OF
Chicago and it's capital, it is said, will be
almost equal to that of it's opponent.
The Oaks Jury Disagreed.
The jury in the case of Cakes VS.. Cakes,
on trial for four days last week before Justice
Truax in Part II. of the supreme court, and In
which Francis J. Cakes charged his wife.
Adeline Estelle Sullivan Cakes with infdelity
to him with one Del Sol, Cuban singing
teacher reported on the. opening of court at
1890 yesterday morning, that they were I'M
able to agree and were discharged.
Mr.. Hummell. counsel for Mrs. Cakes, then
addressed the court saying that his. client
could not endure to remain under the stigma
that had been put upon her moment longer
than was necessary and demanding a new
trial forthwith. Colonel Bacon. counsel for
Mr. Cakes had said at the adjournment OF
the court or Friday when the jury were still
ont and had sent word to Justice Truax that
agreement was hopeless, that he was ready to
begin the trial all over again at moment S
notice. So Justice Trrax fixed on Monday
next. jan 90 and the trial will begin again
in the same court and before the same justice
on that day.
1t was announced when they broke up at
the last named hour that they had disagreed
and that they stood 10 to IN favor OF Mrs.
Cakes.
Mrs Cakes accompanied her counsel into
the courtroom andSreceived the announcement
of the result with comoosure. After leaving
the courtroom, however, she spoke with some
bitterness Of the jury and made voluble Dut
rather indefinite charges of serious cnar-
acter -,

Health Not Politics.
For several years the board Of health and
the medical profession have not been pulling
together. This condition of affairs has been
detrimental to the interests of both. But
health, not politics, is now to be the domi-
nant influence in the health department, and
the physicians have been asked to give their
personal advice and aid in the conduct of the
department. The appointment of an advisory
board of twelve prominent physicians is,
therefore, most popular act, and will go far
toward restoring public confidence in the
health board DR.. H NJ Beggs, the health
officer, says that it is intended to submit to
these physicians any disputed points in con-
nection with the treatment of epidemics, etc.
Blow MT Asphalt Trust.

for contracts shall be made as to admit all
companies to the competition.
Tax on Mortgages.
Governor Odelrs mortgage tax proposition
creates lot of talk among real estate people.
most of whom are strongly opposed to 1t.
The governor, however, stands by his guns,
and supports the Stranahan bill on the sub
iect while a mortgage tax OF ~ mills Is.
he says, imposed under our present tax
laws, yet those only are reached in which
trust funds have been invested, almost all
others eyading the tax. II real estate were
assessed at its full valuation, then there
would be reason in the claim that the mort
gage tax operates as double tax. 1t is not
however, and the amount Of the mortgage is
usually less than the difference between the
true value and the assessed value. II seems
to me that the equitable thing is to subject
all mortgages to the same tax.

THE APPROACHING STATE CAMPAIGN

The approaching political campaign IN
Minnesota promises to be an intenseyt
interesting one. Some facts pointing that
way are related in T h e ] our a to-
day.
What appear at this time to be two as
tinct political movements have been III
augurated, and both OF them hostile TO
Governor Van SAINT. How soon they snall
merge and the governor shall be nghtlns
merger in politics as we'll as merger
in railroads, remains to be seen. Inc slt-
uation is peculiar, and those who, IKE
The Journal have no axes to grind
will find that it presents features or great
er interest than have come into our state
politics for some time. It Will pc an
Interesting thing, for instance, to see
how the people will regard movement
SO clearly inspired by railroad influence
as part of the hostility to Van SAINT ap-
pears to be. Whether they will be ready
to applaud as they do in one breath MS
courageous stand in support of the laws
of the state and in the interest OF the
~>ople against railroad monopoly, and in
the next indorse the opposition of political
enemies, whether they are inspired by
railroad influence or by personal amD1-
ton and desire for advancement, =
There appears no reason to believe that
political opposition to the governor at this
time can affect his success in the light
with the railroad merger. He has gone
so far in that undertaking that such a
for
norship would seem to be of secondary i'm
portance to him as compared with the
success Of this contest with monopoly. 1t
will certainly add much more to his fame
to win IN this battle, even if he should
lose q denomination, than it would to have
avoided some of the antagonisms which
are arrayed against him and by their
aid have achieved success in the next
campaign. Considerably the most impor-
tant thing that ever came into the life
of S. r. Van SAINT, and one of the most
important that ever came into the life
of any governor in any state, is the duty
and responsibility which have been laid
upon him to maintain the integrity of the
laws Of the state and protect the public
. from such conditions in the transporta-
tion service of the northwest, as, in the
light of all experience, now menace the
prosperity and welfare of the people.
Skillful politicians on the one side and
hostile railroad interests on the other,
or both combined, if 1t shall come to that,
may defeat Van SAINT for denomination, or
at the polls, but they cannot rob him of
the distinction of having undertaken a
fight which he could not but realize be-
fore it was undertaken would involve a
struggle with titanic forces, merciless and
unsparing in their retaliation, and against
which he would be required to summon
all the courage and resolution which he
could muster.
