than it was by the Western Union in the
interests of the republican party, and
that nothing is to prevent the use of
cipher.
The n. 7. Herald gives full history
of the Western Union. showing how it
became such a giant monopoly. In
1866 bill was passed by congress and
approved, granting rights of way across
the public domain to telegraph compan-
les. The Western Union at this time
had. lines extending throughout the
country and having monopoly OF the
business did not want the law passed to
become operative as that would give
competition. Through some chicanery
it succeeded in deferring the time in
which the law would go into effect and
in the meantime involved every telegraph
company which organized, in costly
litigation, until tired out they willingly
sold out to Jay Gould. Courts favored
the monopoly as did also state legisla
lures and every move to get established
a government telegraph system has been
killed in congress through the influence
of the Western Union.

An attempt will, without much doubt,
be made at the next session of congress
to establish government postal tele-
graph. Jay Gould has made the people
feel the power of monopolies and that
fear will find expression in the way indi-
Gated. But there is a certainty that
nothing will be done by congress to in
terfere with Gould's monopoly. He has
too much money to allow his business to
be injured by such formidable COM
petitor as the government. Monopolists
such as he, have too much influence to
permit hostile legislation. The people
will back him. Thurman who forced
Gould to pay the government what he
owed it was retired to private life where
he will remain; but Stanley Matthews,
who was a servant of Gould's was placed
on the supreme bench of the United
States. The people back Gould. They
love monopolists.

WHETHER President Arthur is can
didate for the presidency or not, no one
can determine from his acts or his utter
ances. That he has far exceeded expec-
tation in his administration, no one can
deny. The strongest point in his favor,
is the element of good sense which is
istration is not brilliant or an ambitious
one. He simply has done we'll the duties
that were awaiting performance. He
has not made search for anything that
would challenge admiration or inspire
enthusiasm. He has been quiet, unob-
trusive and faithful, without a purpose
of making history unless history takes
cognizance of regular duties well done.
A man seldom builds up political
strength by conscientiously discharging
his duties. Enthusiasm is never stirred
to life by solidity unless it has the stage
accessories. 1t seems strange that faith
fa,nass in the president should be re-
warded by something never looked upon
as it's sequence,-popTlarity. But it
must be for the reason that Arthur has
outstripped expectation to such an extent
and also disappointment in Garfield
'who held the word of promise to the
ear and broke it to the hope"
Arthur has done nothing thus far
which might appear as direct bid for
the republican nomination. He has act
ed what Hayes was satisfied with enun-
ciating, che serves his party best who
serves his country oest." 1t is true he
has practically abandoned the stalwarts,
but they are so few, they hardly rise to
the dignity of party. He has conciii-
ated the featherheads and to-day he
stands the strongest compromise candi-
date the republicans have to offer.
The Chicago News has given Arthur
a boom, and has placed him long way
ahead of all rival candidates. 1t signal
lied his visit to Chicago by the publica-
ton OF a number of letters from the
most prominent persons of the United
States, of all parties and shades of opin-
ions, and all invariably complimentary
to the administration of the accidental
president. Tt is doubtful whether there
is another instance on record of such
universal aud unsought Endorsement.

This preparation, which has been known as
Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be called
simply Parker'S Tonic. AS unprincipled deal

receptacle of offal. The disease thus
induced is proving very fatal, but there
