TELEPHONE GREED.

Two years ago when the tele'
sphone exchange was established
there, the exchange limits included
New Iberia and New Iberia ex-
change included st. Msrtinville'
which made the telephone ex-
,chspge exceedingly convinient TO
the patrons of both towns, and
this combination had the effect OF
:greatly increasing the number OF
subscribers in New Iberia, on &C
count of this town, because the
larger number of people in New
Iberia were using the Hogsett
ephone for the local service, but
,the advantage of having st. Mar!
tinville on the Cumberland ~ex-
~chapge drew q large number OF
subscribers to that company.
At this end the same thing we
shsve a number Of people who have
tphones at their places simply for
social use, because they have re-
1atives in New Iberia; with the
spfessnt arrangement they are in
daily communication. but sRfteen
cents toll every time the phone 10
used for three minutes will be-
come an expensive luxury.
The people of this town will not
stand this change, md . large
number of them 'hsvs agreed to
discontinue the use Of the tele-
,phone, and have ordered their
phones taken out unless the 'ex-
change remains a. It is including
tho New iberia exchange 40 it
was agreed'to when the company
wa granted q franchise in st.

THE ElkJNs ANTITRUST LAWS.

The country has heard that at the
last session of Congress a bill was
passed which would regulate trusts.
that is, that after said bill became
law, the trusts would cease from troub
ling and weary country be at rest.
There was, however, another side To
the picture. The President professed
to want some real trust legislation
passed. He did not Care, we now see,
one whit about the kind, so it had the
name. but did not affect the trusts.
He simply wanted to be able to say III
his speeches and hear others say that
the Republicans were taking care OF
the people by wise and benehcent
policy of anti trust legislation. mat
was all The burden of preparing such
| a bill as would do the President the
most good, and the trusts the least
harm, fell upon Mr.. Elkins a trust
magnate from West Virginia. 1t was
a burlesque from the beginning. The
J idea of the Hon Steve Eikins prepar-
ing such bill was absurd, and it was
well known any bill he paid somebody
else to prepare would affect everybody
and everything before it affected the
trusts The bill has become a law. Nc
longer do we hear of the Sherman bill
now it is the Ekins bill which carries
to the trusts the only terror or infiicts
upon them the only chill they are re-
!, quired to undergo.
The railroad people have looked ove1
the bill and they like it. They declare
it will put more money in the pockets
of the railroads than any measure thai
; ever was passed by Congress. They
are happy that the imprisonment fea
ture hi bteu stricken cut, and onl,
/ fine is now imposed for violating th'
!, law. The fine may be a few dollar
: which they will pay. What will few
e dollars penance them, when they maxi
J, thousands by breaking the law
}, When fines are paid they are charged
q to operating expenses, and an add
e tional amount is added to frelgh
n rates so that in the end the people pa
it any way.
o Mr.. Elkins knew what, as railroa
y man, he wanted the law to be. He
shrewd enough to know that the labe
IS on bottle does not always indicat
IL it's contents. A bill may be called
e bill for regulating trusts and yet be
is bill solely in the interest of trust
"a Why was bill accepted as the bi
re desired by Republican Congress,
ID Congress owned and operated excl
G sively by the trusts, which was tt
Y, creation of railroad magnate, and
u bill drawn by such lawyer and state
z man as Mr.. Hoar rejected? The
III can be but one answer. Simply becau'
10 the trusts wanted the one and woul
81 not have the other.
ne It is true the Interstate Commer'
pt Commission was never known to ii
Is prison an official for violation of Il
eC anti trust law, so that it was a des
d letter in their hands. 1t is also tn
III that they will impose fines, but th
on will be mere nominal affairs. Tween
d. Thousand Dollars is the maximum fl
ht under the Elkins bill. but it will new
a be imposed. 1t was never intended
us be imposed. Under this law Tru
er officials are now happy, they have ju
as what they want and the people a
sh told by the politicians that they t.
OF have reason to be thankful.

Meanwhile, Senator Depew who, to his
