1t appears that strenuous e1orts will ba
made this winter to sell the stock and wires
II the Western Union Telegraph Company
to the government with the design of an
ne1ing the telegraph business of the coun-
tty to the Post Office, and carrying it on
upon government account. In view of the
failure Of government management of
telegraphs in England, it appears to us
that nobody has any real interest in carry
ing out this scheme, except, perhaps, the
telegraph companies themselves, and theEe
are very evident reasons why it ought not
10 be done. The telegraph business bears
no resemblance whntever to that Of the
mails, in the fact that tho mails
arc merely assorted by the labor
Of government clerks, and the real work Of
carrying is done by others. It is done
cheaply, because there are many competing
carriers, and the government is thus
enabled to command the lowest rates and
the best service, But for the government
itself to do the carrying over its own routes,
and make them pay, would be most
rnwieldy and enormous financial undertak-
ing, sure to be inefficient, and doomed to
he corrupt.
This would be, in substance, what the
government would be compelled to under
take in tc1egraphy if it should buy ont the
Western Union and other companies.
The English Government, with much
less area, finds itself unable to run tho tcl-
erranh busipess economicalty or satisfac.

The interest on the whole debt amounts
TO Ss,61o,0oo annually; on tho govern
lnent bond debt, the annual interest is
81, ,305, 900, and on the other part Of tbs
debt, is 1906, $50.
1t will he seen, therefore, that the excess
of earnings over current expenses falls q
little short OF paying the annual interest
On the debt, other than the government
bonds, This surplus of earnings is still
farther reduced by tho money now
retained by the government on the trans
pottaiion and BY the per cent on the net
earnings paid into the Treasury. From
this exhibit, it follows that the two rail-
roads, united or separately, hare not an
income equal to the payment of the in
terest on their debt outside
of these bonds. If the companies had
an income equal to the payment Of the in
terest OF the whole debt, then, in ques-
ton of doubt, they might be asked to pay
the interest on the bonds; but in the face
Of the ine1orable figures Of an annual de-
felt, there must be some portion of it un-
paid.
Under all the circumstances we think the
course proposed by Senator Stewart, of
Nevada, to be the wisest and most equita-
ble- His joint resolution proposes that,
aa the United States now pay large Sums
for transportation TO and from the Pacific
coast, other than what is paid to these
railroads, herenfter all such transportation
be done by rail at the same rates paid by
private persona. This is wise economy.
These railways offer to do this whole ser
vice without any cash payment by the
government. Tho United States now ex-
pend large sums for transportation by sea.
If the entire freight TO the Pacific he car
RED over these roads, the effect will be to
swell the annual amount retained from the
transportation fund, aud reduce the cash
expenditure Of the government for the
same service. It will, in short, he collect-
ing from debtor who LAS no other means
from which to pay his debt The more
dealings with him, the greater will be his
reduction of The debt
