New ionE, Aug. 80.
The Herald editorial referring TO the
reports i'll circulation regarding the con-
SolidGtiOn Of the Western Union and
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Compn-
MES says that this will virtually bring
to clcsc the pleasant dreams of cheap
tclcSrnphy. There is no danger so great
as that which threatens it. II is 10
secret now that the stock gamblers are
preparing II demonstration with Wcs-
tern Union stock. They nre gambling
with our telegraph wires, and have been
for months. Once permit these tlcsper-
ate spectators (snch men rs J. Gould)
take possession Of the tclcgraphs, and
we have one OF most important functions
OF our modern government Ht the mercy
of the desperate Rlrcnturrr, who may
place any rates he plcnScS ON the telr-
graph, and make il such u burden Oh
the people that the Government muy be
compelled to bny II from them mt their
own price. Thi3 whole question, tclc-
graphing and its relations to the Cen
crnl Government must he settled soon.
the spectacle OF that which belongs TO
the people rs much nS the postoflice or
the army mud navy, lowering on the
verge Of this niagara Of bankruptcy, is
degrading. That abyss into which the
Erie Railway has fallen, and into which
il was brought 10y J. Gould nnd his
partner, is not rc-nS5nrinS. II the Gov
rrnmcnt can not interfere to protect the
people from one Of the greatest posi-
bic dangers tits wanting in one of its
duties.
