THE Philadelphia North american
thus defends its position in favor of the
assumption Of all the telegraphic business
by the national government and its incor-
poration with the postal service:
II tho postal service were Ia private hands we
should have to pay treble or Quadrhplo the
present rates of postage, and these tes would
20 into the prices OF goods, wages, etc. But as
the thing now stands we get our mail service at
cost, and thus the business classes are under
no necessity Of making extra allowance
in their prices for these expenses. With the tel
egraph the CT Sc Is much stronger, because the
charges are tar higher II under tho postal tel
egraph n business nan could send message for
twenty I've cents for which hs has now to pay
q dollar and n half IL must be evident that the
difference would be felt IN his business and In
his prices. To say that free competition may
be trusted to reduce rates is simple nonsense,
since experience proves that there Is no such
thing Telegraphing has grown into gigantic
corporate MONOPOLY and the profits arc enor-
nous that dividends are paid on stock watered
and watered and watered until the aggregate is
preposterous.
Tho same remark applies 10 many lines of
railroad, in Which the watering principle has
boen carried 10 such an extent that the most
oppressive rates of fare and freight are levied,
In order to pay expenses and earn dividends.
There Is really no sense and no justice In in
fcting such burdens as those, not merely upon
internal and external commerce, but upon the
production and consumption of the country"

CONGRESS has granted at different times
to fourteen states. in aid of sixty.seysn
railroads, 67,06G, 240 acres of the public
lands. 1t has also granted to the Pacific
Railroad Companies nearly lao, o00, 900 of
acres, making in all within fraction Of
two hundred millions Of acres. This is
equivalent to over forty states Of the size
Of Massachusetts, and shows the desperate
recklessness with which these schemes of
public plumber have been pressed upon the
attention of Congress. 1t behooves that
body to stop this mighty Immigrant mo-
nopoly at once. No wonder that men have
grown from bankruptcy to colossal fortunes
10 an hour, and that members of Congress,
whose per diem and mileage has
not covered half their expenses in
Washington, have become immensely rich
IN the course of single session. 1t is
time that the people marked the career OF
these gentlemen, and made short work Of
their pFetensions as patriots and statesmen.
when again anxious to serve their country
for their pockets good.

THE Philadelphia Press advocates the
extension of the presidential term to six
years, with restriction against reelection.
It says that this must be done sooner or
later, and that now is the time to do it,
since il interferes with nobody's claims,
and comes in collision with nobody's ambi-
ton. General Dent says that the talk
about third term for Grant is "all bosh,"
as everybody but the fools who talked
about it knew it was.

THE Canadians have concluded that the
Home Government is not as ready to lot
the Colonies go as it has been in tho past.
The truth is there has been something Of a
reaction on this subject in England. AT
one time it was common impression that
the retention Of the Colonies was no object
to England, and that both sides ought to
prepare for separation. But more recently
o school of public writers have resisted
this view, and it is becoming more popular
to hold that EnglanA shall not surrender
the Colonies. Nevertheless, the separation
Of Canada is one Of tho certain events Of

THE railroad question continues TO grow
in importance. Following the example OF
illinois, the Indiana Legislature has passed
bill fixing the rates of fare for passen.
gers and the charges for freights on all rail-
roads in that state. Similar measures are,
it is said, about to be proposed in some
other states. The question al to the
exact powers possessed by Congress to
regulate commerce among tho states as re-
CARDS oppressive charges by railroads, is
also before that body; a resolution having
last week been adopted by the House,
instractug the Judiciary Committee
to inquire aud report what power
Congress possesses III regulating
commerce among the several states,
in SO far as such commerce IS transported
on railroad and other lines of transportation
organized and conducted under the laws OF
the various states, and whether such power
includes the power to prohibit oppressive
Or unequal charges or discrimination
made by such common carriers on freight
or passengers from one state on their way
through another state. There can DO no
objection to such en- inquiry but the better
way is for all Of tho states to pass gene.
rel railroad law fixing the rates of freight
and travel, and then for Congress to deter
mine whether any legislation on its part
is necessary.

THE leading Republican paper in Boston,
the Globe, calls upon Senator Sumner to
resign his position as United States Sena-
tor, on the ground that he has grossly mis-.
represented the sentiments Of Massachu-
tts, and has further insulted his constitu-
ents and the loyal people Of the North by
demanding that the names Of the Union
victories shall be stricken from the flags
and expunged from the army register. And
yet Sumner advocated this measure imme-
diately after the war. s ss
