AGRAND SCHEME.

The consolidation OF the three tel
egraph companies. against which
Rufus Hatch asked an injunction,
has finally been accomplished, and
has caused quite 4 flutter through
out the country. There is general feel
ing against monopolies, and the people
have ample reasons for dreadlng them;
while at the same time there might be
such a thing as apowertul company
like that of the one resulting from this
consolidation laboring and planning
for the good Of the whole country as
well as themselves,-past experience,
with such powerful corporations, make
it very difficult for even the most
credulous of us to believe that there
is any thing more than selfish motives
prompting them to action.
This corporation claims though
that not only our country but the
whole world is to be benefited by
their plan. And the scheme if 1t can
be carried out is grand one. Every
state aud territory Is to be covered
with a net work of telegraph wires,
and every business exchange. every
private business establishment, and
every newspaper Office, when requlr-
ing it, Is to be supplied with wires and
an operator at cheap rates. New
York is to be made the grand center.
and the lines are to radiate from that
city to all parts Of the world. AL
ready two more lines are under con-
tract to be laid from this country to
England. to be completed by tie end
Of the coming summer. This week a
line was completed to the city of Mex
leo. Cables are also to be laid to
Cuba from whence they will connect
with other West India Islands and
South America, and from San Fran
cisco lines are to be laid to China, a.
pan, Australia, Oceanica; and north
to Alaska and northern Asia, thus
connecting with the Russian system.
A few years ago the proposal of such
a scheme would have been consider
ed only the fanatical imaginings of a
visionary. 9u. in this day of the &C.
compllshment Of great undertakings
the final success of the telegraph
scheme is not only possible but quite
probable. And such system would
give the United States control of the
telegraph business Of the world, a con.
troll which our geographical position
entities US to, and which We ought to
have. More than $Io,ooo,ooo have
already been subscribed to carry this
grea. scheme into effect.

SOME REMARKS AND SUGGESTIONS

EDITOR RGRAPKIc:-Asa great number
Of our best citizens in this locality for
the past three yeals have been regular
" seized with terrible fever every
year, beginning about the latter part
OF September, and continuing undated
for about six weeks, when they gradu-
ally seem to recover, but only to be
stricken again the next year. Would
it not be well to appoint d board Of
health to investigate the matter, make
their report and suggest such measures
as in their opinion would prevent its
temperance this coming fall. find
upon a little investigation that the un-
fortunate individuals are seized just at
the close of the Adalr County Associa-
ton, and believe The fever has been
designated the Neg Fan. association
Feref." The only fatality connected
with it seems to be the sure death of the
enterprise, thus far, in every instance,
and yet | doubt if any good reason
could be given why failure should be
written upon its tombstone every time.
There was raised by subscription last
fall over three thousand dollars toward
establishing IA new organization, and
plenty of men stood ready to subscribe
hundreds more; vet in the face of all
this encouragement the matter came to
dead halt, and no doubt will remain
so until after another fair here, if in
deed, we have another | believe the
arrangement was for the members of
the old association to have meeting to
decide upon the disposition of the old
fair ground property, and then join
hands with the new organization: but
it seems they failed to have a meeting,
although several have been called. and
in this way they are blocking the wheels
of an organization that otherwise might
be credit to Adair county. A live
fair association is what this county |
needs and must have: the first thing |
TO be done is to discover some means by |
which life enough NAV be infused into
the members of the old organization to
hold a meeting, and decide upon what
they will do, and we hope that this will
be done at once Let the secretary call
a meeting and notify each member of
the old association both by mail and
our county papers. ana if they
have not life enough to get here to the
will nay 80 toward hiring
carriages to bring them in, and l know
of plenty of other men who will pay a
similar amount. What We want in
this matter is energy and action.

Mr.. Merryman, Of st. Louis, is a very
young Democrat, and that accounts for
his inquiry in the House, at Jefferson,
yesterday. whether the Democratic par
ty would always oppose popular educa
ton? He did more; he championed
the State University clause in the APP
preparation bill, which his party was
opposing, and, pointing to the fact that
the Republicans We're aiding the bill.
he announced that unless there was Il
change of front he would abandon the
Democracy. Poor Mr. Merryman; he
has not yet learned that popular ignor-
anca constitutes the cornerstone Of his
party.-Globe Democrat.
