TELEPHONE SERVICE.

The Census Bureau has just issued
a bulletin on the telephone and tele-
graph of this country, in which there
are many statistics Of an interesting
and suggestive character. The bull
letin is particularly valuable in the
light it throws on the progress of in
dependent telephone enterprises. 1t
is common impression that the tele-
phone business is a pretty close mon
opoly. Yet the statistics show that
of the total number of public ex
changes or central offices, the indie
pendent systems operated 6,608, or
63.8 per cent. and the American Tele-
graph and Telephone Company's sys-
TENS (BelD, 1888, or 36.2 per cent.
The independent systems operated ex-
changes in all the States and Terri
tories, with the exception of the Dis
trict of Columbia and Utah, and the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company's systems operated exchanges
in all save Indian Territory. There
we're twenty States and Territories in
which the exchanges controlled by the
American .Telehone and Telegraph
Company systems predominated,
numbering 1892, or 1862 per cent. of
the 2,6l5 exchanges operated in these
Seates and Territories.
The report on telephones by the
Department of Commerce and Labor
shows that New Jersey has fewer
telephones per population than any
state in the union, and also the lowest
average number of calls. The average
in the United States is one telephone
to "a inhabitants, while in New Jersey
it is one to 40. In messages the aver
age is 2, 100, in New Jersey Lat. Cali
fornia has the greatest number of tele-
phone to population, one to each
fourteen residents.
The New Jersey gross income per
telephone per year, S559l was much
above the average gross inco4n e
throughout the country, $3.50; but
the operating expenses and fixed
charges also were higher, being re-
spectiyely, for New Jersey. S3955 and
$3.50, and on the average, S2456 and
1888. The New Jersey net income,
S10.86, was larger than the average,
which was 1896.

THE Los ANGELFs PLAN.

The Los Angeles plan of getting rid
of unfaithful and obnoxious public
officials is receiving considerable at
tentionl just now.k Under it when an
officer elected by popular vote fails to
give satisfaction, and one-fourth
of the voters petition for his retire
ment, new election is ordered, in
which the Objectionable man is voted
for again, or he makes the run at a
regular election. If he fails to get a
vote OF confidence, he abdicates. There
has been a suggestion that bill en-
bodying the Los Angeles plan may be
introduced in the New Jersey Legisla-
ture.

THE evils Of indiscriminate charity
were set forth last week at Verona. A
woman died there in apparent poverty,
for whose support neighbors had con
tributed literally, believing her an
object Of charity After her death,
some of the neighbors volunteered to
help clean up the home and were sur
prised to find over $500 ID gold and

The presence in the city of a res ident of San Diego. who until com paratively lately, was Tucsonite, has revived the rumors current as to the Rock Island people building across the country from San Diego to Fair bank to connect with the Fl PaSo & Southwestern, which road they are supposed to control, if they do not own it outright. Such a line, as the crow flies, would not be so very far from this city, and as a matter of course. in that event, there would be br inch built in here from the main line which would have virtually the same beneficial effects as regards Tucson as if the city were placed on the main thoroughfare. except there wCu'd be no divisional point here. in all Irob- ability. Of course railroads are gen. orally built on paper rom two to ten years before they are actually cen structed, SO this report is only given credence on the face of f, but in the knowledge of the writer there were two surveying parties started out from San Diego over a year ago, headed for Yuma. which rarties were under the auspices of the Rock Island, ss far as the information of well posted engineers in Los Angeles went-Tuc- son Citizen.
