Senator Vests Bill-Its Enemies and its
Friends.
The New York Graphic of last Thursday


says:
government telegraph from Washing ton to
Boston, through Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York, encounters the opposition
of the journals interested in maintaing the
present monopoly. They have butter for
their bread the public knows not of, and
the frkin is big one. Everything is done
that can be done to keep the country in
ignorance of the whole subject and turn the
prejudice against the proposed improve
inent, which has facts, figures, reason, the
public needs, the interests of journalism,
the prosperity of commerce and the whole
country IN its favor. One of our morning
papers, which sometimes seems to be edited
in private telegraph Office, objects to
Mr.. Vests bill because it don't be-
lieve in the governments undertake
ing the business of private individuals
or corporations. 1t has more to
manage now than it can manage de-
Gently" But this begs the whole question.
We don't believe in private corporations
doing the work that belongs Of right to the
general government, and if carrying the
mails 10 public business. we should like to
know why carrying telegrsphic messages
should be relegated to q private monopoly
II the postal service properly belongs within
the province of government, how does it
happen that the telegrapic service is alien
to it, and must be handed over to individual
or corporate greedf And if the government
is competent to manage the POstoffice De-
psrtment with admirable efficiency and
economy, 90 that the people, even to the re-
hottest frontier of the country, are well
served, why can it not also manage tele-
graph department with equal success, and
thereby benefit the public still more9 The
opponents of the measure have never an
swered these simple questions, and for the
reason that they have nothing to answer
them with.
The New York Herald speaks we'll of the
proposed experiment.:
The bill introduced BY Mr.. West, of
Louisiana, providing for the construction of
q United States postal telegraph line be-
tween Washington and Boston, by way of
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and
Hartford, il the pioneer movement Of the
postal telegraph system in this country.
The proposed line is intended to test the
practical operation of . system here which
has been found to work xdvantage0usly to
the public in Europe. While there may be
differences of opinion as to the expediepcy
of placing the telegraphic business under
the control of the government, there ought
to be no objection to the test proposed by
Mr.. Vests bill. Let NJ zee how govern
ment telegraph between tho designated
points works, and We shall then be In .
better position to Judge Of the wisdom Of
bringing the whole telegraphic business OF
The country within the juEiedioti0A OF the
