SATURDAY, JAN. 27, 1900. TELEPHONE SERVICE. Up in Detroit they had, once on a time, a telephone war. It resulted in the establishment of a new company whose avowed object was to compel competition and thus benefit the deal public. Now the oldest of the two companies—controlled by the Bell— has absorbed the newest, and the peo ple of Detroit, even with the danger of increased teiephon«-chBrges confront ig them ere feeling better than they did when they were putting up cash for and suffering the annoyances that accompany two telephone systems. Discussing the matter, the Detroit News says; “No city is big enough for two permanent competing tele phone systems, and that one of the local concerns should absorb the other was as invirable from the be ginning as sunrise and sunset. It is all very fine to theorize about compe tition; hut competition in respect, to te’ephone service must be as unsatisfac tory to the customers as it is unprofit able to the companies. Telephone service is one of those natural monop olies, created by the very force of cir cumstances. There can be competi tion in telegraph service, in the ex press business and, with certain limi tations. in the railroad business; but competition in telephone service means a great deal of annoyance, if no increased expense to the user, if he tries to secure as efficient service through two companies as he could secure through one. * * * Out of the consolidation, however, they will ultimately obtain many advantages that are not to be lost sight of. Busi ness and professional men will no longer be taxed for two telephones, even if they are forced to pay more for the one telephone than they paid for either of those they have been using for the past four years, while the increased convenience cannot be lost sight of.” What, he* taken place in Detroit will take place in other cities in due course of time. Every business man knows that two tele phone services constitute a nuisance. The advantages that are derived, inthe way ot lower pr ces for single ’phones, from competition are more than neutral zed by the increased cost and annoyances resulting from the com pulsory employment of two services. Consolidation must co me, and may the fittest survive.—lndianapolis Sun. What is said above by the * Detroit paper and the Sun has often been set forth in the columns of this paper. The telephone business is peculiar and differs in seme respects from all other large businesses run by corporations. Centrality ot control is essential to getting the best results in the tele phone business, aud the nature of it is such that it does not call for outside competition to prevent what Hre us ually called monopoly features. Suc cess in this business depends upon efficiency of service and popularity among the patrons. It is not a neces sity, in the strict sense of that word, but a luxury, and people can do with out luxuries. Just as soon, therefore, as the prices get too high or the ser vice poor, the punishment will come in shutting off (he connection®. In other words, the patrons always have the whip-hand. They can’t be “cornered” and forced to pay, as in the case of necessities. When not satisfied they can always quit, and this produces at the worst only inconvenience. It will be seen, therefore, that Ihe telephone management always has the greatest possible inducement, that of self-in terest, to give good service and keep the rates on a basis that will not cause dissatisfaction. Thus, as we have said, competition is not needed to “keep down a monopoly.” The tend ency of the te ephone busines®, so from developing abuses, is to get rid of them as the best results come from a perfection of the service in every way. STREET CAR SEBVICE. EdVo' Indianapolis Journal: The franchise of the Indianapolis Street Railway company, approved by Common Council, April 7, 1599, con- tains this clause: “It is also agreed by ; and between the parties hereto that the said company, party in the I second part, shall at all times during ’ this grant, run and operate upon and : over each of its said lines a sufficient j number of first-class and cotnmodius 1 passenger cars to accommodate the i public.” That the company is not: complying with this parr, of its con tract on the Pennsylvania street line will be attested by hundreds using that Hue. Each evening is a repeti tion of the preceding one, to-wit, a jam and a squeeze, the standing passengers rotating around one another like cog wheels. Indeed it requires consider able athletic ability among the male passengers, who. of course, occupy the aisles, to maintain an upright position. The question is being seriously dis cussea among the passengers as to whether a school of gymnastics will not be necessary in order that the men may learn to contort gracefully. What ti e citizens of Indianapolis want is that the company will be so managed that overcrowded cars will not be a part of their daily life. The -demand now made is for a necessity, and what can be more of a necessity than street car room? Pennsylvania Street. Complaints like the above, which we hear occasionally, are usually baseless and generally silly. They only prove, what all know, that there is a tendency among humanity to grumble and that some people would find fault even in heaven. Nothing ever goes to suit them. No earthly thing can be made sufficiently perfect to escape their fault finding. Especially is this true of all kinds of public service. The chief delights of a certain element is to grumble and growl. If they are given a ride of ten miles for 4 cents they want It for 2, and if given it for two they will then insist on riding for nothing. Now the plain truth of the matter is that there never can be ab solute perfection in the street car ser vice. There will always be occasions when there is overcrowding, more pas sengers than there is room. No fore sight, no skill or management, and no amount of equipment can p:event those occasional “crushes.” They happen on all lines, at every railway station and every boat-landing in the | world. The time comes when there are more people in a hurry to go than there is accommodations to take them. It is impossible for any management to foresee just how many people are going to take a notion to go some where from a given point a particular time, and though they had thousands of extra cars, they would be useless because unavailable on such short notice. A street car service must be judged by its general results, not by particular occasions. Judged in this way, the service in Indianapolis is ex cellent and it is growing better all the time. All that is needed is a little patience and a little discretion in knowing when there is really some thing that deserves criticism and when there is not. Because there is a little overcrowding at “ru®h hours” on par ticular corners is no proof that the street car company is not complying with its charter any more than the fact that on occasions of excursions there are more people at the station than the Big Four or Pennsylvania can get on their trains is proof that these are not great and well managed road®. The papers should not encourage un reasonable grumblers to air their grievauces before the public. SCALPERSPL\Y THEIR LAST CARD. It is stated that practically all the brokers of Chicago have made up their minds to go out of the business. Some of them are bound by leases to occupy their present quarters until May 1, but it is not at all likely that any or them will renew their leases. The ticket brokers say that the agree ment of all the railroads not to pay ticket commissions will drive them out of business more effectually than any law which might be passed by Congress. Fishel & Frandland, among the older aud best known brokers abandoned the business on Monday, and henceforth will be engaged in an enterprise of a totally different char acter. The senior member of the firm for many years has been secretary of the Guarantee Ticket-brokers’ Asso ciation and one of its most influential members. He has taken an active part in every effort to defeat attempts of the railroads to secure the passage of anti-scalping laws. His retiremeuy from the ranks of the brokers at this time indicates that the r cause is Jo «t. ‘•We can’t pay our gas bi h on the profits of the business of this month,’’ de nial ed one of the best known scalpers. “If the agreement not to pay commis sions to anybady after Feb. 1, hai been made by general passenger agents or vici presidents we would have paid no attention to it for we have seen so many of the agreements made and broken in a short time But when the men who represent the »:(ckbolders of railroads give the orders they will not be disobeyed, ev.n by the presidents. Consequtnt’y, we cannot expect any further a,d from our friend.-, the passenger of ficials. Despite the opportunities afforded us by the numerous rate wars not half the brokeis in this city msde more than their living expensea last year. If the railroads will not pay us a commission on ticket sales, it makes no difference whether there is a law against scalping. Nine-five per cent, of our profits inthe past have been paid us directly by the railroads.”— Indianapolis Journal. The above indicates the latest scheme of the scalping fraternity to disarm opposition. Their intention, of course, is to lull the railroad peo ple to sleep and induce them to quit urging hostile legislation, -be scalp ers bv playing the role of “now I’il be good,” hope to stop things where they are. What they dread is the law which is pending in Cougress to make their acts criminal. If such a law is not passed, aud similar legislation enacted in the various states, they will dnd a way to keep on prosecuting their nefarious business. This being presidential campaign year there will be thousands of excursions and scalp ers find their harvests in these. The railroad people should not allow them selves to be lulled to sleep by the ’possum tactics ot the scalpers. That sly animal is not asleep nor is he even dreaming. He knows what he is up to. He knows quite well what be is doing. The thing to do is to press for the law now pending in Congress and cut off Mr. Scalper’s claws so that he ■can’c scratch any more. It would bei bad policy to let up before the victory; is completely won. COLORED MINERS. To the Editor of the Indianapolis News. As a member of the miners conven tion I should like to say a word through the columns of your paper, in answer to many questions that have been put to me by members of my race—l am a colored man—since I have been in this city, concerning the purposes of this c invention. Our purpose here is to seek to puc in oper ation tendencies that will obliterate the great prejudice, regret ed by both black and white, that exists concern ing the colored man. In this miners’ convention there are gentlemen from the East and the Meat, fiom the North and the South, and they are working hand in hand, and with one accord, signifying that their inten tion is to strike a death blow at race prejudice along Hues of competitive labor. I never have seen a body of working men more harinonijus. The blackest delegate in the convention is recognized by the chair, aud treated with as much courtesy by the dele gates as the whitest. This furnishes the lesson to the toilers of this city, of whatever race or color, that the law of competition must sooner or later be recognized; that all persons dealing in the same product are in direct, connection with one another. Our product is labor, and the socner we j in hands, wiping out all lines of discrimination, the better for all. No better thing do your employers want than boycotting the black man, for they know as long as this barrier exists, if one race won’t work the other will. Then such steps should be taken by those people who toil as will make dealing with one working man, in a sense, d aliog with one whole laboring fraternity. In such a case it would be impossible to fill our places with outside labor, for all the laborers of every calling would be inside, and their demands be regarded by capital. If these are your sentiments, take it tn your home®, teach it to your chil dren and your neighbors’ children. Charles Armstrong Delegate to Mine Workers Conven tion, The World reproduces the above in order to commend the sentiments ut tered. It covers the whole case tnd undoubtedly suggests the true solu tion of the race problem. The miners I deserve greot credit for their efforts to root out this infamous race dscrimi nation which has been on? of the greatest curses the world has ever had to endure. The race question becomes one of especial interest in its bearing on labor and to settle it there is to go far to its settlement elsewhere. Clearly, as Mr. Armstrong points out, the labor organizations are vitally interested in preventing discrimination on account of race. They can make no progress, nor can they carry out their main contention against capital, if they themselves set the example of unjust discrimina tion and exclusion. How can they justly demand rights for themselve? while denying the same rights to others equally deserving. By doing this, as clearly pointed out in the above li^tn,TUl."Tu.. 11 LU uiqjitul with a>M o to break their own heads?***- AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL. The World takes pleasure in an nouncing through its columns the an nual meeting of the National Afro- American Council which will take place in this city next August. We think the council did a wise thing in selecting Indianapolis for its next con vention city, for the atmosphere here is pure, and while we may be some what short on Afro-American members we are long on intellectuality. This organization is one of the most com mendable in the country and has at its head, in the person of Bishop Wal ters, one of the brightest men in the country. Along with all the others of the council, he has the interest of the race at heart. The World will do all in its power to make t his gathering one of the most successful in the his tory of this body. When we say this we mean ousiues®. The World disapproves of the so called National Protective League, now organizing branch leagues in this city. Tne trouble-with the race is they have too many of these organi zations for any good to .some out of any. There is one National organiza tion known as the Afro-American Council that is really doing a grea’t deal of good in making sentiment favorable to tne race, aud is organized as such by the brainiest men of the race throughout the opuutry. All race leaders should concentrate their efforts to have oue succeed without trying to ride so many horses. The Afro-American Council meets in this city in August, 1900. VANDALIA LINE.

They give a peculiar flavor much liked by the natives, but which is not always appreciated by others. Rice wine is not unknown there, al though in no great demand. Mulled, it is quite a favorite in the Philippines, where, under a warm sun, Its intoxi cating effects are fully appreciated. A gun barrel Is generally used by the na tives in preparing the mulled portion, a superstition prevailing that the drink thus compounded absorbs some of the peculiarly effective fighting qualities of the gun and gives strength accord ingly. More deadly than rice wine is barley ale. Old and experienced drinkers have been brought to grief by a couple • of glasses of this palatable intoxicant. | It is sometimes mixed with lemon? juice to deaden the effects, but for the • average American the fascinating fla- = vor is destroyed by such treatment. Guirdilec is made in some parts of the Sandwich Islands. It is prepared from sugar cane. The cane is chopped into pieces an inch or so in length and placed in a trough exposed to the sun. Water is added from time to time as fermentation progresses. When this has reached the proper stage the mass Is distilled over a slow fire. To impart new sensations to a hard-1 ened palate a moderate use of me- 1 quonao is recommended, but long-con- k tinned use of tills tipple results In the ■ complete shattering of the nervous sys tem. The manufacture of mequonao is carried on principally in Honolulu. Native coffee Is first roasted and crushed, then mixed with an equal 1 part of weight of molasses and water. l The mass is allowed to ferment and I the wine is then distilled. Sandwich islanders are extremely fond of cocoanut milk, but the Amer ican and European residents improve on the natural liquor by adding a lib eral dash of brandy and shaking the whole with ice. A HINT TO BOYS. The boy who is handy with his tools can make most acceptable gifts for his mother and sister. He should, how ever. be very careful as to details, for women can not be quite so enthusiastic over the roughly-finished gift as over that which is conspicuous for its daintiness. * A shirt waist box lately finished by one boy for his sister is a model in every respect. It consists of a solidly built box, upholstered to form a win dow seat. Within the box are three leaves, fastened in with brass hinges, aud so arranged that they may easily 4je lifted. One shirt waist rests on the Ixhtoin of the box, and one on each leafAmaking place for four in all. Each waist, with its collais, cuffs and appropriate ties may be kept there in the nicest of order, and the box, when closed, is an ornament for any room. For his mother, this boy has made a very artistic corner cabinet. r It is thirty-three Inches high with panels fourteen inches wide, and the frame locks something like a two-panel screen. To carry out this idea, the sides are made of shirred silktllne. The cabinet is placed in a corner, and two highly-polished, three-corlered shelves put into place and securely fastened by means of catches* and thumb screws. These shelves c.Jh be removed at will, and the cablneifthen becomes a screen. With them injdace the piece of furniture gives <giite a “dressed-up” air to the room. Ind is one of the mother’s most highlvlirized gifts. ECPHEMIA WOODS. CARNEGIE AS A PROPHET. He Predicts the Boers Will Domin ate South Africa—Such a Prolific Race hey Will Continue in the Majority, Andrew Carnegie, discussing the Transvaal question hi the North Amer ican Review for December, asserts that the Boers, as the more prolific race and in the absence of a large British immigration, will inevitably dominate the future of South Africa, though England’s forces whip them for the time being into a nominal sub jection. He says “The policy adopted is that of forc ing the issue, raising a racial war and suppressing Dutch aspirations. This policy was attractive when it was be lieved the mere decision to send a full army corps of 35.000 men to supple ment the British forces in South Afri ca would so appall the Dutch element that it would never raise a finger against them, feeling that it would be madness to do so. This was the belief prevalent in England. It was report ed that the new general-in-chief as sured her majesty when he took his departure that the British flag would wave over Pretoria by Christinas. “Warnings were not wanted that the conflict might not be restricted to the Transvaal republic if the race is sue were the cry. and that the Orange Free State republic, which is Dutch to the core, might join forces with her neighbor, that thousands of fighting men from the Cape Colony, also over whelmingly Dutch, might flock to the Dutch standard were the race ques tion pressed home. The war party took no heed ol such dangers, and the able Britons who. knowing the situa tion. saw these possibilities, were only rebuked for their baseless fears. It was believed by most that it world be a mere parade to the Boer capital. At tention was everywhere called to the fact that no such stupendous force ever left the shores of England. This was not the opinion of the party who counseled the continuance of Mr. Gladstone’s pacific policy. These, as it has since been proved, knew the sit uation. What they feared has come to pass. To-day a second army of 35.000 mon is already found necessary and is soon to sail. Briton thus denuding herself of proper reserves and laying London open, as a French critic has recently said, to an attack by a few thousand men. It is not to be a parade as expected: quite the reverse. “This racial dispute promises to prove as severe a strain upon Britain as the Crimean war. and Lord Salis bury’s successor may say of it. as he has recently said of that war, that it was one in which Britain put Its money upon the wrong horse.’ That the resources of Britain, if fully drawn upon, can ultimately overpow er the Dutch temporarily need not be questioned, but whether the end at tained can justify the sacrifice seems open to question. It does not appear to the writer that it can possibly do so, because the suppression of the Dutch element to-day. if such be the result, will accomplish nothing perma nent if the situation is to remain as before described and the Dutch are to remain in South Africa as residents and increase rapidly, being a very pro lific race, and the British are not to emigrate to South Africa in great numbers and also settle there and in crease. The result must inevitably be that the Dutch will be in a majority, growing constantly greater. Even more Important than this is the fact that the people born in Africa must more and more desire to rule them selves. It will be found very hard to drive out of the mind of an Afrikan der. whether of British or Dutch ex traction, the idea that the country be longs to those who are born in it. The native born must inevitably draw to gether and become one race, flrm against any foreign race. “Should Britain endeavor to hold [sway in South Africa through free in stitutions —such government, for in stance. as Canada and Australia have •—then the Parliament becomes Afri kander. as that of Cape Colony now is. as the Parliament of Canada is Canadian, and the Parliament of Aus tralia Australian, with the difference ( that in Canada, and Australia the neo ' pie have no cause to be opposed to [Britain and there is no racial question involved. People living in Canada and Australia have not been crushed by a foreign power of different race from beyond the sea which assumes to dom inate them. OSTRICH STORIES. The Bird ns a Beast of Burden—His Fighting Powers. The ostrich is a curious and remark able bird, with its enormous body, long legs and small head. The expe riences of the ostrich farmers, both in Africa and America, are most interest ing. and there are tales without num ber of the strange antics of the cu rious birds. Naturally the first thought which occurs on seeing an ostrich is. How fast can it run? When feeding, the stride is only from 20 to 22 inches; when walking, but not feeding, the stride is 26 inches, but when terrified the bird possesses wonderful sprinting qualities, and takes steps varying from 11% to 14 feet. Taking 12 feet as the average, they would cover about 25 miles an hour, but the stories of bird traveling a mile a minute are open 1 question. Other traits of which v are always hearing is their lack g. both suspicion and Intelligence. Bush men clothe themselves in one of their skins, and under cover of this go near enough to kill them with poisoned ar rows. When the bird considers that he has distanced his pursuer, he often puts his head in the sand, thinking ho has thereby made himself invisible. Some times when hotly pursued he turns upon his enemies and gives severe wounds with his feet. The habits or ostriches are not particularly attrac tive. They eat fruits, game, vegeta , bles. leaves, tender shoots, insects, snails and any other food that can be picked up. including all kinds of indi gestible substances, which they swai- low from stupid voracitv t> equally foolish about la V |L often begin before fixed upon for the nest L? 1,: tary eggs are often found J** saken all over the district t • by the ostrich.
