THE TELEGRAPH QUESTION

We have stuiiously endeavorsd 20 avoid
any participation in the quarrel between our
neighbors Of the Omaha Repubiicdn, and
the Pacific Telegraph Company. and would
not ssw- intsrfsre, wore il not that iastics
70 eurself demands that We should say .
few words to the public to correct an err
roneous impression that seems to have be-
come general:
The .Rpublican stated, in ito FIRST article
ON the " Monopoly," that it had been pay
ing the Psci6o Telegraph Company fifty
dollars month fori reports, lwhile copies
the slnd reports we're furnished the Nom
parsa for thirty dollars month. Imme-
diately after the publication Of this state
ment, Mr.. MAYNARD, former proprietor Of
the Norparsil, wrote to the Editor Of the
Rspsbliean, correcting the error ID regard
to the irics paid for reports BY the Non
pareil, and asking that the correction should
be- made public. Some two or three weeks
have elapsed since this letter was written,
bat ss yet the Republican has taken no no.
tics Of it whatever. Their FIRST statement
has been. extensively copied by papers on
both sides Of the river, and the genera Linn
preston, of course, is, that the Nonpareil
has been paying but thirty dollars q month.
Now the facts Of the case are just these
and if anybody desires it We can produce
in proof of our stat ement, the affidavit OF
Mr.. MoRsE, the superintendent Of the 1. 4
NJ. Telegraph Co.. and operator at this
place We. have been receiving copy Of
the identical reports published by the Oma.
ba Republican, from the first issue Of the
Daily Nonpareil, up to the LIST Of the pres
eat month, and We have paid for the same,
10 cash, at the rate of seventy-three dollars
and fifty cents per month, for every word
received. -
Now, it the Republican il disposed to
act fairly in the matter, j: will give this
statement place in its columns, and thus
correct the erroneous impression which it
has created. Il is certainly enough, these
hard times, to pay such enormous bills,
without being denie the credit Of doing so.
We don's care how much sympathy our
neighbor may create in his own behalf, 90
he doesn's do it at our expense.
