rHg POSTAL TELEGRAPH

A petition is being circulated in all
parts of the country, asking the General
Government to purchase the telegraph
lines in the United States, and institute
q postal telegraph system by which
messages could be transmitted At very
low rate. There are many advantages
which would accrue TO the people
through such . purchase. Telegraph
ing would then be part OF the postal
system Of the country, and messages
would ba sent instead OF letters, by bus
iness men, because the price would be
reduced to . reasonable compensation
for such aeFyice,. aud because 3 message
would not only be much quicker bat
more ceEtkin Of reaching It's destination.
ALI the possibilities and advantages OF
telegraphy cannot be reached under its
present status, as it is now simply an
overgFown monopoly, putting the ad-
vautaess is offers at such exhorbitant
rates that tho masses Of the people can
not sVaiI themselves of them. As we
zee ie ct present, we are in favor, decid-
odly, of the Government purchasing
snd maiDtaiDing the telegraph lines.

THE IDAHO MARRIAGE LAW.

The new law governing the marriage
contract in Idaho Territory is very lib
eral indeed. It allows the marriages of
men at eighteen and women at sixteen,
and of still more tender age if parents
consent. Anybody authorized to ad-
minister an cath can solemnize the mar
riage ceremony, and for this purpose, or
for taking evidence concerning pro-
posed marriage, ministers. are cmpow-
cred TO administer oaths. II the cere-
mony is performed by any party claim
ing to have authority, and it is after
wards shown that the party had no such
authority, the fraud shall not prevail,
bat the marriage stand good. The law
further enacts that tsmarriaganust be
solemnized, authenticated and recorded,
bat failure so to do shall not invalidate
any lawful marriage" This law makes
marriage in idaho '.just as easy''-the
Gretna Green of ardent lovers.

POLITICS IN KID GLOVES.

If every American voter wore kid gloves
sported an eye glass and small cane,
parted his hair in the middle and wore
none but the most fashionable clothes, as
George William Curtis does, then we
might establish politics upon quite diff
ferent basis from that which now under
lies our party contests. Mr.. Curtis is a
professed Republican, something of
philosopher in his political notions, and
in addition to being the leading political
writer for Hdrper's Weekly, was one of
the delegates from New York to the Gin
cinnai convention. In that body he was
for the nomination Of Bristow, first, last
and all the time. That suggestion was
urged as his specific for all the political
ills of which both parties complained.
The convention decided against Mr.. Cur
tus, and everything has gone wrong with
him since. He made up his mind that
Hayes could not be elected, and is as
hard to convince to the contrary as Abe
Hewitt himself or ]. G. Thompson.
In the latest number Of the Wsel<y
there is long article upon the Louisiana
question, which one Of our local papers
has construed into a warning to the Re
publican party BY friend. The logic Of
this article runs to the effect that while it
is admitted that certain parts Of Louisiana
were IawIeas-eyen ssmi-barbarous-du
ing the Iate election, yet the writer denies
that there is any remedy or help for It in
the law. That the Returning Board was
legally bound to permit the Democratic
party TO profit by its lawless acts. All this
because il his opinion the Republican
party could not survive the Inauguration
Of a President whose title should rest
upon a moral doubt Without informing
us what party or considerable number Of
people are likely to entertain 8 doubt Of
Mr.. Hayes title, The writer leaves the
subject with the inference that the DEM
ocratio party. owing to some difference IN
| is morality or component parts could
very easily survive the inauguration q .
President under circumstances which
wonld utterly sxsizpate the Republican
party. Unless, therefore. the Repub-
Leans surrender what they honestly
believe 70 be theiE legal rights 70 q
