Crisp to the board, when that official has nmde iui open con fession of his "friendliness" to the ielcphone monopoly, is even more significant. It is reasonable to suppose that Mr. Crisp blundered, and blundered badly, when he put himself on record as favoring a proposition to recog nize the validity of the 25-yenr fran chise grab, but the people were (puck to grasp the real inwardness of the situation.

With a unanimity of action that well evidenced their determined purpose, they demanded the immediate repeal of the onli-j nance. How a majority of theCoiiiiciliiieu, faithless lejiieseiitatives or the pen- pie, ignored the petitions of their colistitileuts. and jiersisted in- their fat oritisti, ,6 the interests of the tel- phone monopoly, is a matter of lnil li!.trx- I-,... .1, ....!...,. 1 1 .
