HOW THE TELEGRAPH AND TELE
PHONE OPERATE IN GERMANY.

Firth aa Large Aa Iot.rrl.ir Witt Cor-
an any 'a Dlroctor of Telegraph.
Ia Germany they do not operate the
telegraph and telephone on the same
plan as prevails in the United States,
and many thinking travelers assert that
the system in rogue in the German
empire for the conduct of those en
terprises, as well as the railroad, is a
model fit for all nations to adopt.
Details of the way in which Emperor
William country manages the electric
al department of government were re
lated to a San Francisco Call reporter re
cently by Heinrich Hofmeister, director
of the German telegraph system and su
perintendent of the cable station at Em
den, lie arrived here from Central
America, where be bad gone on official
business for his government. This is
Dr. Hofineister's first visit to California,
though he has often crossed the ocean to
the Atlantic states. Asked to state the
difference between telegraphic service in
his country and this, Dr. Hofmeister
aid:
"The greatest difference which I bare
observed is that we do more for the
mail towns and villages all over the
empire. We have arranged it so that
the smallest communities have a service
twice a day for letters, newspapers and
money, and that they have an efficient
telegraph and telephone service. In Ger
many the mails, the telegraph and tele
phone are combined in one department,
known as the reichs postant, or as you
would call it, the postal department.
Dr. von Stephan is at its head, and since
1870 his strong personality has been bent
to this one end, that in the matter of in
tercommunication the people shall have
a perfect system at the minimum cost,
His success has been wonderful and his
work the admiration of the world. His
theory is that effective service at low
rates multiplies business. His slogan
was, 'Reduce the tariff,' "
"How do your tolls compare with the
rates in this country?" was auked.
"Very much lower. The charge for a
10 word messuge to any part of the em
pire is 20 pfeunige, or 5 cents of your
money."
"Irrespective of distance?'
"Yes. It is the same for five miles as
for 600."
"What are the telephone tollsr
"Twenty-five cents for five minutes'
conversation. We do not take diHtance
into account. You can talk from Berlin
to Hamburg at the same rate as tho
nearerft station. We charge individual
subscriber 150 marks (about $:1G) a year
for the use of the telephone, and there is
no churge for switches."
"Is there a deficit or a surplus at those
rates?"
"Oh, a handsome surplus every year,
which is turned into the general treas
ury. Lest you may think the charges
by your private corporations are too
high as compared with ours, I ought in
justice to say that we operate much of
our mail, telegraph and telephone sys
' tern conjointly. In small places one man
acts as itOBtal clerk, telegraph operutor
and telephone manager. When we add
ed the telephone service, we did not in
cur in many places additional cost for
buildings, employees and incidental ex
penses. But, as I said before, the people
of the interior are bitter served than
Americans. We provide fire alarms,
calls for physicians, weather reports,
etc., and we are always prepared for
emergencies."
"Do you still string wires on polesr
"Indeed not. We abolished overhead
wireB long ago, not only in cities, but
throughout the empire. We employ un
derground cables containing seven hard
copper wires constructed like submariue
cables and encased in iron pipes like gad
mains. Germany is one gigantic spider
web of underground cables. Main lines
radiate from Berlin to the outermost
edge of the country, and these radiatiug
lines are joined together at regular in
tervals. Spider web exactly describes
the system. It is Dr. von Stephun's
chef d'eeuvre. With Jhis network un
der the earth no meteorological disturb
ance, however severe, can interfere with
the perfect working of the wires from
Berlin to any part of the realm. No
invading army could cut the wires un
less it dug trenches over the face of the
empire.
"Occasionally we string vii on poles
in the country, but we use two poles,
strongly braced, to support the cross
arms, much like the bents of a bridge,
and we put up porwUiu insulators,
which preveut the escape of the elec
tric current. It seems to me that iu
this country your poles are tuo flimsy
and your ghu iusulutor imperfect."
t "Do you think government control of
the telegraph and telephone applicable
to the United States?"
"Why not? This system is a sum in
Europn uuderevery form of government.

ABUSE OF CREDIT.
FrofeMor Adler 8pakeof th. RaapoBelblt-
llr of Speeolatloa For Hard Tiatoa.
Professor Felix Adler had a very large
congregation in Carnegie Music hall Sun
dsy morning, when be spoke on "The
Ethics of Hard Times." His sermon was
forceful, analytical and in many parts
particularly applicable to the audience
he was addressing.
"Is there a moral side or aspect," he
asked, "to the present commercial de
pression? There certainly is. The laws
of morality and the laws of health and
public well being must rest on private
morality for their foundation.
"The financial disturbance was but
the occasion for the present crisi.
There is a deeper cause. The unwary
steps of the traveler may precipitate an
avalanche, but certain conditions run t
have pre-existed to make so slight an
impulse productive of such disastrous
results.
Professor Adler alluded especially to
the abuses of the credit system. "The
credit system," be said, "permeates i he
commercial work! as the nervous sys
tem is ramified through the living or
ganism. Credit is a term of moral mean
ing. It implies confidence and trct.
He who, whether dishonestly or rer'c-
lessly, abuses credit is an enemy of
ciety at large, because he shatters t .a
bond on which the security of all tran i-
actions depends.
"Credit is abused when it is placed at
the service of purely speculative enter
prises. What is a speculative enterprise?
The function of credit is twofold to
keep intact existing wealth by reproduc
ing it, and to increase wealth. The bit
ter is the lure. The former is the safe
guard. Every enterprise is speculative
in which the prospect of more than av
erage increase of wealth makes those who
engage in it neglectful of the safeguards
for the maintenance of wealth.
"The speculative enterprise itself is
prompted by a desire to win gamblers'
games, to secure an income without its
equivalent labor.
"We can hardly claim to have arrived
at an advanced state of civilization so
long as men, otherwise worthy and de
serving of respect, still venture their
wealth as in a lottery. The working
classes, however, are the chief sufferers.
It is admitted that by no prudence or
foresight on their part can commercial
crises be preveuted, and yet the worst
horrors oi' the calamity when it comes
fall upoii them in loss of employment.
"He who takes out of the pocket of
the laboring man money which he needs
to pay rent and get food for his children
is a criminal of the deepest dye. But he,
too, who artbiwts in creating conditions
which prevent the laborer from paying
rent and getting food for his children is
not to be held guiltless. And this ap
plies not only to those engaged in spec
ulation, but to those who invest even a
part of their weulth in shures of such
enterprises, for they, too, are prompted
by the uonire to win gamblers games.
They, too, encourage the bad drift."
Speaking of national conditions, Pro
fessor Adler snid: "The question of the
standard of value is certainly not unre
lated to moral questions. The standard
of value must be a fixed standard and
can only be such when people trust one
another.
"We are bound to ask ourselves
whether the agriculturists of the south
and west are not subject to unjust con
ditions? Is not this disturbance of the
standard of value the penalty which the
manufacturingand industrial clauses pay
for their indifference to the demnnds of
the agriculturists?" New York Times.
Panics and Banka.
The competition between the banks in
their efforts to secure a large and prof
itable business at times induces them un
duly to expand their credit by making
unsafe loans. At other times, to protect
their own safety, they are forced to con
tract loans to the ruin of bank customers.
Bank figures clearly show the banks
had expanded and loaned too much on
May 4 last, because on July 12, only two
mouths and eight da3-s thereafter, they
found it necessary to contract their loans
to the extent of $130,000,000. The enor
mous expansion and contraction of banks
periodically cause widespread bankrupt
cy and loss.
Why should a banking corporation
with a capital of $100,000 and no surplus
be permitted to expand its credit four or
five times beyond its capital, und thus
realize 20 or 80 per cent on its actual
capital, while individual burners must
be content with 3 or 6 per cent interest?
Incorporated banks nre useful to t lit
public aa places of deposit, of discount.
j of exchange, but these otiices are quite
as well performed by individual Vhy
; Is it uot safer for the public to have
more money and less' bank credit in cir
culation? Would nut the frequency of
finuminl calamities, such a we are now
' pashinif through, theu be very much les
selted? j Have uot the special privileges granted
, to lnuks, to expand or contract their
ere Ut and loans ut will, proved too cost
ly to tie public? The irid.cal revul

BUT TWO PARTIES.
Tho Ka-publlcaa and Dr. woe ratio Parttoa
Practically roltod Agalaat tka Popallata.
Doubtless never before in the history
of any country, certainly not in this,
have the two dominant political parties
been divided and threatened with de
struction through the propaganda of one
single well defined and openly declared
platform of principles. In fact, such a
condition can only obtain when there U
little if any difference between the two
stronger parties. If each were contend
ing for different principles of govern
ment, a third party could not maintain
a contention upon similar lines with
both, but in the present case when the
two old parties ha lost their identity
upon nearly every great factor of eco
nomics and have become a unit save in
form upon all important measures of
legislation and their construction, it u
not difficult to account for their discom
fort and probable defeat through the
teaching of similar doctrines.
There is now little, if any, difference
between the Democratic and Republican
parties, save only that bne is in office
and the other is out. Upon all impor
tant questions they are, or rather the
leaders of these parties are, a unit.
Both are in favor of national banks
and against government issues.
Both are in favor of a single gold
standard and against free coinage of
silver.
Both are in favor of the present rail
road system and against its control or
ownership by the people.
Both are in favor of a contraction of
the currency and contend against all
legislation that would increase the vol
ume in circulation.
Both favor monopolies and vote to in
crease their power whenever possible.
SlL I 1 i - , ,
ixnn legislate tor me cities ana ignore
the country.
Both are governed by the same princi
ple and actuated by the same desire. Be
cause of this the propaganda of the Peo
ples Party acts like a two edged sword
it cuts both ways.
When such conditions are met, there
is but one logical outcome, a complete
realignment of political parties. Add to
this the growing discontent among the
people of the west and south over the
plutocratic domination of the east, and
there is no room for doubt as to radical
changes in party lines, and that at an
early dute. Evidence is not wanting that
the south and west are to become the
victims of the euHt during the present
administration, and that this coercion
will be applied with unusual vigor. It
is also apparent that a revolt is being or
ganized, and is liable to break out at any
time, that will surely bring industrial
freedom to the producing classes. Tho
more vigorous the coercion the sooner
will come the result is now an acknowl
edged fact, and some are anxious for the
event to coiue at once.
Every indication of future action
points directly to an eastern party of the
classes that will be met by a southern
and western party of the masses. The
result will be the building up of the
People's Party and the enactment into
law of those remedial measures which
stand out plainly and clearly defined in i
its platform of principles. National
