The Government telegraph

The telegraphic monOpOlies and abuses
contro He'd and practieed by the companies
managing the wires in the United States
bave long called for reform. Various plans
have been suggested, tried and proved fail
ures. Opposition lines have been con
structed; but to be bought up or sold out to
the company having the most money and
powerful influence. The plan which prom
ises most is to have lines of telegraph con
trolled directly by the government.
Upon Senator West, of louisa ma, falls
the honor of giving shape to the anti-tele
graphic monopoly movement. He has .just
introd uced in the Senate bill which pro-
videa for authorizing the Postmas ter Gen
eral to construct . line Of telegraph be.
tween Washington and Boston. line to
includ Philadelphia, New York and other
cities. The bill proposes to call it the
III United States Government Tele graph
Line." and it is to be open for the use Of all,
for ending messages at . rate regulated SO
as 60 pay expenses and fvo per cent divi'
dends pom the cost. or the interest upon
construction expenses.
It rem aims now to be seen what Congress
such an institution. as the only means of
getting felegraphic service at reas sonable
rates. Objections have been urged against
thrusting additional duties and res ponsi-
bilities upon government officers. These
have weight. but they do not outweigh the
necessity for cheaper telegraphs; and these
can not be secured by employing corpora.
tions whose aims are to make uouey for
stockholders.
The existing telegraph companies have
the most powerful of all lobby influences to
oppose the government scheme. 1t will be
shown how strong it is in efforts to defeat
Senator Vests bill, bill which sho uld be
carefully considered and acted upon.
Captain Dan Hickok and JIis Orange
Trees.
Every body knows Captain Dan Hickok.
His genial smile, his cordial greeting, his
hearty jokes. full Of humor, but void OF
malice. are familiar to every resident of
NeW Orleans, as are likewise tho charms OF
his gardens. and the various accommoda.
tions and attractions Of his riverside hotel.
But what everybody does not know about
him is. that he has for sale several thousand
thrift young orange trees, from one to six
years old, with the tap roots cut, thus insur.
ing q healthy growth. These trees are Of the
very ch oicsst kind. as We can testify from
experience. having purchased come of the
same description two years ago, and this
year have eaten from their fruit, SO deli.
clous as to convince US that they are the
lineaI descendant of the forbidden fruit, for
whose taste our first parents forfeited para.
disc. This, as our readers doubtless know.
was not an apple, as they were taught in
childhood, but according to recent discov.
cries. an orange. just such oranges may
be how obtained from the trees for sale BY
Captain Dan, with this immense advan.
tage. that instead OF losing paradise. to
enjoy them, their possession will convert an
ordinary garden into semi-paradise.
