its use and the means Of the person justify it
the tendency indicated must be consta ntly
greater until the Post Office must 60 down
altogether. And what then? If then the
telegraph stands as it does now the people will
be at the mercy of private monopoly for
this necessity of life, the transportation Of
messages. The charge for messages, now
abusively exorbitant, would be made even
greater; and while the delivery of message
given to the telegraph is now proverbial
uncertainty, it would then be q chance case
when message went straight. No message
would ever be sacred and few capitalists
would govern in all those vast concerns in
which the knowledge of prices affects mems
fortunes. This would never do; and the same
reasons that have always made it necessity
Of public welfare that the government should
control the Post Office now make it equally
necessary that it should control the telegraph.

The Post ONCE and the Telegraph.

What is the cause of the deficiency in the
Post Office Department? Why is it that carry
ing the mails no longer pays, and that the
government is an actual loser by undertaking
TO provide for this means of communication
between the people? 1t is, shortly and simply,
because the whole business Of mail carrying is
behind the time; because post offices alto
gether are obsolete and part of the machinery
of another age. Nothing is or can be remu-
nerative that stands in the same category.
Suppose farmer in this day endeavored to
carry his produce to market by teamirg on the
turnpike in the good old-fashioned style. He
would find that it did not pay, for his neigh
bors who kept up with the progress Of the age
and used all the improved modes of trans
portation would undersell his so that his crop
would not reimburse him for The wear and
tear Of horsefesh. Post Office departments
stand practically in the position Of that
farmer, because the age is in possession
of means of communication as much more
rapid than that the Post Office uses as the
railroad is more rapid than the old farmers
team.
It is, therefore, because Of the existence Of
the telegraph and it's free use by the people,
in spite of the many abuses to which 1t is sub
iect, that the Post Office is financially failure
For some years the relation between receipts
and expenditures in the Post Office has been
changing to the wrong side, and in the same
wears there has been correlative develop
ment in the business Of telegraphing, and the
growth of the one explains the decay Of the
other. It is as absolute, therefore, as the
result Of any law of trade can be that the Post
Office will forever be burden on the national
taxes from this time forth, unless 1t comes up
| TO the age and takes charge of the communica-
tions between the people prepared to make
them by the most approved means known to
science. In an establishment like the Post
| Office II requires the same amount of machinery
to carry q small mail as q large one. 1t costs,
| for instance, to send mail to distant city a
| specific sum, and this cost would not vary
though there might be hundred letters, more
| or less, in that MALL but this hundred letters
and the postage would make all the difference
between paying and not paying. While the
expenses, then, continue the same the receipts
are less for there Is always deficiency Of the
hundred letters in every mall and this def
cheney Is explained by the use Of the telegraph.
That number Of messages, or perhaps even q
greater number, that formerly went by mai
now go by the wire.
Az the people grow more and more in The
habit Of using the telegraph--as haste demands

One after the other the props and bulwarks
of the Roman Church temporal are being
knocked away. The Church spiritual, Of
course, rests upon foundation that political
changes cannot shake, because there are no
politicians in heaven, that class Of individuals
having no status there, and the spiritual
authority of the Church, as we know, is Of
heavenly origin. But it is evident that the
temporal and political power of the Church
of Rome is waning very FAST and as time
advances in this century all the props
and pillars which it leaned upon are being
knocked from under it in rather quick success
sion. France, Austria, Italy have in turn aban-
Of the Apostles, it is true; but they have
deserted and even arrayed themselves against
the whole political system of the Church Of
Rome. France has assumed that attitude Of
indifference under the influence of liberal
ideas, and strengthened greatly since the king
dom Of Italy, under the regime of Victor
Emanuel, pronounced against the temporal
dictatorship of Rome, and France to-day is not
to be relied upon, either in the person OF
Napoleon or the will of the French people. as
an ally of the Pope. Austria, which few
years ago was claimed to be the defender Of
the faith and the right arm Of the Papacy, has
come to disregard Its orders, while not devi-
ating from its religious dogmas. Austria has
rejected the Concordat-a most heretical piece
of business, no doubt. She has refused to ba
governed by the dictation and discipline
OF Rome in the matter of civil marriages,
and the Emperor has actually imprisoned a
Catholic bishop for contemning the imperial
law and asserting the superiority Of the dicta
issued by the Papal authority. The kingdom
Of Italy, we know, has long since thrown off all
temporal allegiance to the Papal See and
stands in direct antagonism to the Pope's tenn
poral authority.
The last prop in Catholic Europe, therefore,
remaining to support the Papacy was Spain
monarchical Spain, the Spain of the Bourbon
Isabella, the victim Of oil the weakness which
Bourbonism, corruption and superstition could
league together for the destruction Of a once
grand old State. Spain is now lost to tho
Papacy, because the same liberal and pro-
gressive ideas which moved Austria, which
stirred the heart Of the French people, which
inspired the solidarity of the Italians under
Victor Emanuel-an inspiration that created
country for themselves, leaving the Papai
States outside the pale of italian unity Tor the
present-have taken hold of the popular mind
in Spain. But events are rapidly tending
towards the absorption of the States Of the
Church into the boundaries of united Italy.
The fall of the Spanish monarchy knocks the
last prop on the European Continent from
under the temporal supremacy of the Church
of Rome, and, in all probability, thus aban-
doned by It's friends, IL will have to succump
before long to the tide Of liberal opinion, to
telegraphs the press and the railroads. The

Prominent Departures.


II is notable fact that many Of the religious
denominations in the United States are taking
the same avaricious track which has been the
fruitful source Of corruption to the different
established churches in the Old World We
maintain that it is impossible to have set of
morals purely taught If they are hedged in, or,
as in some cases, completely covered by the
other and baser elements of mans nature
which are brought into play. five take En-
rope as an example we find that the States
which have been most backward in the pro-
gress and civilization Of the past century have
been those where religious societies have
absorbed nearly all the wealth and turned it
to the support ola narrow propagation Of some
particular faith. In Austria this has been
very notable, and not until the close of the
late war with Prussia did she awaken from the
lethargy imposed upon her by her religious
institutions. Then she stepped into new and
healthier life by cutting off from the Church
some Of those prerogatives which had been
accumulated through avarice. Italy is still
more notable example Of what religious fanati-
cism can accomplish. Church and State, ap-
parentlv all absorbed in a moral aim, has been
in reality so buried in gold, in lands and ava
ricious accommodations that 1t would take more
than Christ to discover the original basis Of
this vast moneyed corporation dedicated
to the praise of the Lord. II Austria and
Italy have been thus held back by abuses
which have gathered around the spiritual effort
