the Chief was stealthily girting the country
with line Of telegraph, and hanging up his
wires in the interior in various directions,
and opening the lines to public business in
the intervals Of the Governments use Of
them, and taking and receiving pay for
dispatches. chave repeatedly warned the
taxpayers Of the nation against this auda-
ciuus and lawlcss scheme to push the Gov
eminent into commercial telegraphy The
last annual report of the Chief Signal Officer
confirms our predictions. and presents facts
which should impcl Congress- TO take very
restraining measures with this expansive
autocrat.
He reports tho construction for tho Sig
nal Service Of telegraph lines from Sandy
Hook to Cape May, from Norfolk to Cape
Hattcras, from Cape IIattcras via Will
mington TO Smthvillc, at the mouth OF the
Cape Fear rivera length Of $40 miles. To
connect these coast lines with Washington,
hc has leased wires from Norfolk and Cape
May. In Arizona, New Mexico. and western
Texas, he has already built 2,4s2 miles Of tce-
graph. In his Texas Division he has
opened Offices in twenty-four places. In his
"Arizona Division" he has opened Offices in
thirteen places In the New Mexico Divi-
sion" he has as yet only six Offices, but Is
actively at work erecting $50 miles more Of
line. In Arizona, between Camp Apache and
Camp Grant, his line supports are erected
for 40 miles, and the wires are hung on in
sulators for 10 miles. In New Mexico the line
supports are up between Ralston and Fort
Bayard. n distance Of ~ miles. There will
soon bc tecgraphic connection between
Santa F6, in New Mexico, and San Diego. ON
! the Pacific coast In effect, the Chief Signal
Officer has constructed, and has under con-
! struction. 3,34i miles Of telegraph, on which
| he cOnfesses that business and social mes
sagcs are transmitted and charged and paid
for.
This system he purposes TO extend all
up and down the Pacific coast, around
the Gulf Of Mexico. up the New England
coast, and all through the interior wherever
there is an army post. Military necessity
and the protection Of the frontier settle
mcnts were the disguise under which limit
I'd authority was cunningly obtained from
Congress for the erection of these signal
service lines. 1t has proved amply suf-
ficent to shove the Government into tele-
graphy. The illegitimate business Is actu.
ally established. 1t requires no prophetic
gift to see that II II Is perscvercd in and ma.
turcd, IL will become an institution OF gigan-
tic proportions awful waste, and ruinous

This is the beginning Of fair and square
fight between BLAINE and HAYES. BLAINE
represents the real Republican party. He is
now the embodiment Of the principles Of that
party.
HAYES on the other hand, has betrayed
the Republican party, and gone back on
the men who made him President He has
proved as false to the men who unlawfully
counted him In as BENEDICT ARNOLD WIS to
the rebel Americans in the time Of the Amer

There appears to be no doubt that Turkey
has rejected the terms Of the protocol as she
had previously rejected the demands Of the
Constantinople Conference. Her POSI-
ton. through all the long continued
negotiations. is easily understood She ut
terly refuses to permit any outside Interference
with her internal affairs. She promises 10 re-
form her administrative system. and has in
troduced many reforms. but she will submit
to no foreign supervision Of their execu-
ton. The Russian Government has. Of
course. renewed its menaces upon learn
ing Of the rejection Of the protocol. and
will again try TO obtain support from the
other powers in further pressure upon Turkey.
Russia. however. cannot at alone without vio-
lating the protocol which provides that the
signaiory powers shall consider In common the
next step in the Turkish business. so that
there is one more chance for diplomacy before
war.

Hands ONT

The loan Of a million and II half dollars
made by Congress TO the Philadelphia Ex-
hbition, which the Supreme Court has just
ordered to be returned TO the Treasury, is
now an object Of interest To certain parties
who desire that it shall be appropriated by
Congress for a display of American goods at
the Paris Exposit on Of next year.
There are unanswerable reasons why this
money should not be thus used. The Treas
ury is not in condition 10 spare that
amount for such a purpose; and it is not the
business of the Federal Government, nor has
it the right, to use IN any such way, the
money drawn from the people by taxation.
