in which the Western Union strangled
the opposition Of the Pacific and Atlantic
company. :
It seems clear that the proposed ANAL
gamation of the competing telegraph com
plnies, being rendered unlawful by the
constitution, can not take effect in Penn
sylvania, even though the Legislature
should fail to declare in what way the
constitutional mandate shall be en-
forced. But if the purchased COM
parry fails to keep up its telegraph
service, it is not easy to see
how it can be compelled to do 50 without
legislative enactment. 1t will remain in
existence to threaten the Western Union
company, but the protection of the people
against that monopoly would depend upon
its pleasure. In view of the unlawfulness
of their undertaking in this important
state, it is very doubtful whether the two
companies will combine, if indeed they
have ever seriously intended to do so. 1t
looks very much as though the project had
Just been started for stock board profit,
and that it will shortly be abandoned, in
the expec: alton Of another profit being
gained in the same way by knocking it
on the head. Yet the danger Of such
monopoly always threatens us. 1t was
considered imminent enough to warrant
constitutional prohibition. Public SEN
timent warmly approves that prohibi-
ton; and the Legislature must no longer
omit to do what it is commanded to make
It effective.
