s5e t lS&Sraphins. The cause of the recent
, stfske was the, attempt of the railroad mag
Rates to pay dividends on watered stock. Not
Icing able TO raise the rates Of travel and
freight, they tried the next best thing-low-
cred the wages of their employees. There Is
too much railroad competition to enable them
to raise fares and freights there Is nothing
TO prevent them, from lowering wages to
starvation point The Western Union is diff
ferently situated Having to all intents ami
purposes a monopoly of the business, they
can turn on the pressure just as high as pru-
dence viii suggest that their patrons will
stand. The telegraph has gradually become
L necessity, and it will be patronzed even az
an advanced rate. The monopoies fatten on
the sweat of the laboring man. Capital, day
10y day, becomes more arrogant and grinding.
There must be an end to all things, and mo-
noDoiv and capital will have theirs.
The foregoing which we clip from the San
Francisco Daily Exchange of Wednesday is
well stated. This country Is suffering the dis
astrous consequences of system of legislation
and IL tendency of business endeayour favor
ing the formation and sustentation OF such
vast, powerful monopolics as the great rail
way corporations and the Western Union
telegraph Company The constant effort OF
al these corporations is to keep adding to the
wealth and power of the few opulent, able
and ambitious men who are at their head. 1t
is principle everywhere acknowledged and
acted on in all such business as banking and
railroading that there are no mere offsets-no
possible even things" between profit and
loss There is no middle ground. Not even
the Bank of England will pay for pure gold
what it is worth. To handle ii at all it must
handle it at profit. Under the very princi-
pie and sentiment of commerce somebody
must be robbed. Your great banker makes
il q sna qua non that all the bullion he buys
must be & marked down. His theory is that
he must either gain or lose and the undeyla-
ting object Of his business life and endeavour
is to gain. Fortunes never stand still. They
either increase or diminish. And so it hap
pens that great public necessity like the
electro magnetic telegraph-which ought to
be as free as air and water and stealn-ls the
most greedy and grasping money getter in this
western world. 1t is in all respects IS much
Of necessity as the Post office; and yet 1t
not only deports itself under the master hand
of William orion, as an independent factor
in the body polite, but is, in reality, one OF
the estates of the realm. Congress, as things
are constituted, has much more to fear from
tie Western Union Company than that cor
poration has to fear from Congress. One of
the great necessities Of the day is the owner
ship Of the system of telegraphy by the gov
eminent. The transmission of dispatches
should be performed for the pubic good and
not for the enrichment of anybody nor for the
declaring of dividends The bare cost of
their transmission should be all the cost of
the ending of dispatches.
The effect produced upon sensitive horse
of the Base Range by an excessive out-pour-
ing of crack jaw words upon his ear is thus
wildly stated by the Eureka Sentinel of
Wednesday
Superintendent Donnelly, while on his way
TO the mine yesterday, came very near meet
ing with severe accident. He was riding
quietly along i'll his buggy, when Captain
Foley came up and attempted to give lucid
description of = mine on the west side Of Pros
pect mountain. The horse became excited
over the ferruginous carbonate and bolted up
the HILL overturning the outfit. Mr.. Dom
ely leaped to the ground and fortunately es-
capped without injury. The horse in his strug
giles threw himself and Was slightly scratched
and bruised.
