The Curse of Elections.
The senatorial fight again en-
phasizes the waste of elections.
Here is all Minnesota, when it
ought to be discussing the legis-
lation of the coming session of
the states law making body,
deeply absorbed, instead, in Cos
siping over the election of a
United States senator, and if the
opponents of Senator Clapp Can
stir up enough opposition there
may be no election for many days
after the legislature meets, and
until there is an election it is en-.
tirely safe to say that there will
be no legislation. It really does
not matter so very much whether
Moses E. Clapp, Thomas Lowry,
Judge Douglas or some other
equally able man is elected sena-
tor. The legislation Minnesota
gets this winter does mattera good
deal. But we shall be too busy
with less important things to give
it much attention for the next
month or more,

Nashville, May 2.-In the Caancery
Court here today Chancellor Allison
handed down decision of vast and far
reaching Importance affecting the Cum
berand Telephone Il Telegraph Co., in
Tennessee.
The decision was on bill filed soma
wears ago by number of citizens of Co
iumbia, for whom Mr.. r.. II Hatcher,
of that city, was counsel, against the
Cumberland Telephone d Telegraph Co :,
attacking the charter of said corpora
ton. At the time the Cumberland Com
psny was in fight at Columbia with
the Citizens Telephone Co., an indie
pendent concern operating a telephone
system in Columbia and Maury County
In order TO strangle it's competitor, and
run it out of business, the Cumberland
Company cut its rates. Then the bill
was filed as above stated. 1t has been
in the courts several years.
This morning, Chancellor Allison, in
passing upon the bill, rendered decree,
In which he held that the company had
assumed and exercised power not con-
ferred upon it by the laws of the
State of Tennessee, and that it should
be ousted from further exercise of any
such power in the state ana that its
business should lie closed and wound
up.
There wers five counts in the COM
plainant's bill, but only one count did |
the Chancellor sustain, and that was
the fifth.
The first count was that the Cumber- I
land Telephone and Telegraph Go
was foreign corporation and had
not fled copy OF it's charter with the
Secretary of state. This count was
denied by the Chancellor.
The second count was that the defend
ant company had failed to register an
abstract copy of it's charter in each
county of the state. Also denied.
The third count was that the defend
ant company had erected poles along
turnpikes without the consent OF the
turnpike property owners. Also denied.
The fourth count was that the rates
charged by the company were I'M
reasonable. Also denied
The fifth count was that the defen-
dant company in violation of law, as-
sumed power and authority to lease its
plant in the city of Columbia to Leland
Hume, Assistant General Manager Q
the company, and one of the directors in
the company. Il
The proof shows that it is admitted
by the defendant company that it did
lease its plant at Columbia The bill ,
averred that this point had been decided
in decision of the Supreme Court.

pany had beaten down competition in I
