The TeiegrAph.poIe Nuisance.

Twill De seen % the Item Ia another part OF
the paper that a new telegraph company has
applied TO the District Commissioners for per-
mission 10 erect q line OF telegraph poles and
wires through various streets in the citY,-Ith
street, Mount Vernon Square. 9th street, /
street. New York avenue, and SO On. Is IL not
about time that a stop should be put to this
Disagreement OF the city and injury to private
property. involved in giving permission to the
thousand snd-one Geographic companies, new
and Old TO set up poles and string wires at their
sweet will along the streets? The plan OF the
city, In having beautiful vista views along
streets and avenues radlating from yarIous
points, has already been sadly marred by lines
OF huge uDsighlY, crooked telegraph "poles
Greatly unshapely trunks of trees) bearing in
meDse webs OF wires The charming shade
tree:feature OF washington is also manglei aad
dishgured by these poles and wires; which
have the right of way over every other consid-
GRAFTON. But beyond all else the rights Of cti-
zens-propcrty owners and business men-are
Invaded by these telegraph companies. They
cut down q mans shade trees and plant poles
as big as ships mastS directly In front OF his
premises. TO the Injury OF his property or his
business, not only without his consent, but
against bis protest The Commissioners, Ia
their late report, express themselves 10 favor
OF legislation requiring the telegraph com
panies here 10 lay their wires under ground,
and Lieut.. Greene shows conclusively by the
light or experience In European cities that this
mode can and ought TO be adopted here Would
10 not be well. therefore. for the District gov
eminent 10 decline permission for the erection
OF any more telegraph poles. and ask legislation
requiring all telegraph wires In Washington to
Ne laid under ground!

The inaugural meeting for the reorganization
Of the democracy OF New York city was held
last night, and was respectable both In num-
bers and character. Many OF the men who
have been conspicuous In the past history OF
the party In New York were present, and some
of them took an active part In the proceedings
Both TaIDmany and Irving Halls were virtually
repUdiated, and the resolutions adopted indi-
rate purpose to make free trade and free
ships prominent party issues. 1t Is evident
that the Tflden influence controlled the meet
Ing, though no reference was made TO the fac
fionai fights beyond aSCrtbiDg the defeat OF
Hancock TO that cause. It Is plain, too, that
The Tildenites do not intend 10 permit the pro-
posed reorganization 10 pass into other hands.
This was clirched by providing that the com
mittGe OF ffty on reorganization must consult
with the democratic state committee, body
that L. politically owned by Tilden. No Tam

POSTAL AFFAIRS.

A number OF new regulations have
recently gone into effect concerning
the conduct of postal affairs. For
nlerly the Special Agent of the Postal
Department took charge of all matters
pertaining to the mail service. Now,
however; the government has divided
the work into different departments.
The railway mail service for the divii-
sion including Colorado is in charge
Of Colonel Hunt, of St. Louis. MIR.
Ierre N. Hill, Of Denver, has charge
CT mails under the title of Chief Head
Clerk. To him should be made all
complaints or applications regarding
the distribution of mails, delivery, de-
lay, irregularity, instruction, ETC.,
and relating to the routes. The Post
Office Inspector, formerly Special
Agent Of this district, is General r.
A. Cameron, of Denver, who attends
entirely to depredations and losses of
the department and frauds on the
service.-[ Dfs1er z,71zne.

II EEW PLAIN FACTS.


In the early spring when the snow
was so deep between here and Gun
nlson that it was impossible for loaded
teams to reach this point, thc.materiial
OF the PILOT was stored at Gunnison
awaiting transit, as was also that of the
Gothic paper. Our junior member
was here making arrangements for an
Office building, and he was daily con-
fronted by the citizens and merchants
OF Irwin who were anxious for news
paper, ard were growing and kicking
because we did not do that which was
impossible - bring our Office up
through twenty feet Of snow.
Feeling The necessity for paper
in Irwin, and supposing the desire for
one as shown by some of our mer-
chants and mine owners, was genuine,
we went to an enormous expense as
well as danger to life and property in
bringing our material here when other
men with freights dared not make the
trip through the deep snow. A little
later the citizens of Gothic built
house and gave it, together with the
lot, to the gentlemen who were to
start paper there. They even did
more than this-they freighted the
office from Alamosa. to Gothic free of
charge and gave them 600 cash sub
scribers before their first issue was out
The PILOT was given a lot in a
swamp and left without subscriber
or cent of money, to rustic for itself
With the assistance of few personal
friends we managed to borrow some
money and make good sale Of our
first ISSUE. With this VIC paid off a
portion of our indebtedness, the
balance of which is still unpaid.
The men.who were SO loud in their
cries for a newspaper and who kicked
so because it was not here before there
was pound of flour or bacon for sale
IN the camp, are the very men who
"can't afford to advertise ~ or who
think advertising does no good"
A few of them have subscribed for
three months with the promise to pay.
If they are compelled to get any job
printing done they send to Portland,
Maine, for it, because it can be had
cheaper. Some of the largest mer-
chants in Irwin, whom we have fire.
quently favorably noticed, have never
left nickel in our Office, yet they
have the gall to be eternally tell
ing usto "whoopup the camp" Mine
owners are always wanting their prop
erty shown up through our columns,
but when they make sale from which
they realize thousands, instead of
whacking" up with the printer a
portion of their Mnov, which was
gained to greater or less extent
through the influence of the paper,
they don't even pay for years sub
scription, but 60 down to the saloons,
dance halls and gambling houses and
"blow in " their wealth unstintedly
and unhesitatingly, and then ask us
to give them send off"
Ruby Camp is rich in minerals, she
has mines that are unequallcd IN the
country, her miners and merchants
are all prosperous, but such an unap-
preclatlvc set We never met with be-
fore. who imagine newspaper can be
run OH light AIR ard snow water.
We believe our citizens want a
newspaper, and will not be without
one, but if they want us to stay with
them we must have better support
than We have been receiving and less
cries of "take my advertisement out !;
can't afford it.
