There is no constitutional obstacle to the congres. stonal ulation of these long-distance raics. They involve, in a great majority of less cases, Inter-state transactions, and as such are plainly subject to federal control, just as are the railroads. So if the subject were to be pressed too far in the interests of the Washington monopoly {t might readily lead to the institution of proceedings by Con- gress to determine the advisability of a statutory limitation of the long-distance rates. It would then be but a step for Con- gress to provide for an exchange to insure complete long-distance service to the sub- scribers to any local company, whatever t relations to the “parent.” But aside from this possibility, the item of the long-distance service is by no means prohibitive of the incorporation of a rival compan. e as the last resort to bring the e rates within the range of rea- son. The great bulk of the telephone bus- iness is local. The average subscriber Joes not have oceaston more than once a year, if that often, to talk to another city. While the inter-c! ture of the service Is ing, the class that requires the long-dist: wire is yet comparatively very small. ‘The popular demand, therefore, is still for a low local rate, even though it be ace panied by a minimum of inter-city service. Yet nothing ts more certain than that if the rival company were instituted here it would soon develop an adequate long-dis- tance exchange. The company favored by the House has already established a ¢ siderable leng thof inter-city wires. pending the building up of such a rival as would enable local competitors to com- pete as well on the inter-city basis there is nothing to prevent the subscribers of the new local company from utilizing <h> public long-distance facilities of the ol compan on, as any non-subseribier But oday. This latest maneuver of the -d monopoly to prevent legislation will not stand close mination. —_- +e = —___. Admiral Dewey's Mistake. There is no sincere friend or admirer of Admiral Dewey but will regret the an- nouncement which appears in print teday by his authority. This announcement. to begin with, shows a singular misapprehension as to exis political com Admiral Dew “If the American pe high office’—the p ‘I shall only too willing to serve them." This g! vut the idea that the people are groping about in a state of indecision in search of 2 suitable man fer the place. But they are tions. want me for thi be not.

Chaos within its ranks, undoubtedly. And in such circumstances of what value would its nom. ination for the presidency be to any man: Mr. Bryan would scorn it, and not even Admiral Dewey could hope to succeed at the polls with it. The democracy, if it were devoid entirely of enthusiasm for the man and devotion to his policies, would yet be obliged in sheer self-defense to renominate Mr. Bryan. But even more surprising than Admiral Dewey's shortsightedness with respect to the condition of the parties is his latest ap- praisement cf the office of President. When he was first approached on this subject upon his return from Manila he declared that as he had been bred a sailor he knew thoroughly only the life of the sea, and that the duties of the presidency called for the qualifications of a trained statesman. He now “Since studying this subject I am con- i that the office of President is not difficult one to fill, his duties to execute the laws of Con- y of Washington, Jefferson, the and Lincoln, and assiduousts but vainly sought by Clay, Webster, Cal- houn, Blaine and Sherman, “not such a very difficult one to fill?” Surely Admiral Dewey was carelessly quoted on this point, for nothing else, not even his own declaration of last fall, would go further to prove his entire unfitness for the post. No, Admiral Dewey. for the first time in his life, takes the field too late. The battle virtually {s on. The parties are lined up. The leaders are chosen. There are some discontented men in both parties. But they are not numerous in elther party; and If 1t were possible to bring them all together for co-vperation they would not, by virtue either of numbers or character, be able to tempt any man of experience or ability to accept their leadership. Admiral Dewey will presently find that he is yielding to influences which lead only to disappoint- ment and regret. A great sailor should have a better chart in a strange sea. + +e—___ The ability shown by Oom Paul as a dip- lomat might suggest to a number of states- men that turning out whiskers and smok- ing a base-burner pipe are experiments worth trying. ———>- 6 _____ is so busily making fric in Asia that it looks very much as if John Bull might find a “gang” waiting for him when he next turns in that direc ds dent Kruger is willing to take his on St. Helena rather than face the ertainty of another weary trek toward the heart of Africa. —_—___.«- Mr. B nm can feel neither Admiral Dewey nor any other didate will endeavor to filch the 16 to 1 plank from his platform. ————_+ + > ___ tucky has not reached the point of racy which would tolerate the pretty sure ward was sot at in Brussels.

This is not to be re- gretted. There are no serious issues at stake. The Pacific tslands are chiefly in need of prompt action, giving them a per- manent organization to replace the present anomalous conditions and to permit the tn- stitution of measures to enable the isiands to recover from the effects of their recent visitation of the plague. When this bill has passed both houses and been signed by the President one of the principal items of the present session's schedule of important matters will have been disposed of. There will then remain, after the final enactment of the Porto Rico bill, aside from the ap- propriation bills, only two measures of first rank, the bill concerning the Philippines, which is on the point of consideration in the Senate, and that providing for the con- struction of the isthmian canal, which is held back pending action by the Senate on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Thus the out- look at present is that with ordinary dili- gence the houses may be able to adjourn somewhat earlier this year than Is usual in long sessions. The shipping subsidy bill It is inevitable that much in may be given a place on the calendar of big items to be dealt with at this session, but the prospect now appears to be that no such action will be taken before next win- ter, if then. Mayor Van Wyck says that New York is the most moral city on earth. Non- sense! Did not Beaver Dam and Funt, Michigan, also suppress “Sapho?" If Admiral Von Diederichs wants to do mething really handsome, he might say few pleasant words about Admiral Dew- ey's presidential boom. SHOOTING STARS.

The extinction of Macrum’s brief candic of notoriety might have warned Webster Davis from the same course, one would think. Davis has not even the chance Ma- crum had of attracting public notice. Ma- crum managed for a time to keep up the al fascination of mystery. There is no mystery whatever about Davls. He was appointed to a place of moderate import- ance as a reward for his exertions as a spellbinder. Ife thought he had talents for larger place, and his superiors soon began to question his qvalifications for the place he had. Such wide divergence of view ored mutual coldness, and Davis realized that his time in the department was short.

Trade Expansion. ex From the Pittsburg Commerclal-Gazette. American trade expansion has been rapid in the past_year. In the matter of locomo- tives alone statistics indicate remarkable rogress, In the year recently closed this puntry exported locomotives. They went to Russia, France, Africa, Japan, China and even to England. Russia ts be- coming so large a customer of America's that English manufacturers of various sorts of iron and steel devices are becoming se- rio y alarmed about it. We are even in- creasing our trade with British colonies. consular report from Sydney states that Australasian imports of American boots and shoes have increased twentyfold in two years. In Slam England 1s totally unable to compete with America in supplying bi- cycles and other sorts of machinery. The totals of our increased export trade sent out from Washington from month to month are impressively eloquent and show that America 1s gaining ground against the whole commercial world, and warrant the prediction recently made that the day can- not be far dis.ant when the balance of trade will be permanently in our favor. wee What Are We Coming Tot From the New York Tribune, Bryan spoke of the eastern states of this Union as “the enemy’s country.” Erving Winslow speaks of a camp of soldics of the United States army as “the encmy's camp.” Arcades ambo.
