TINE POSTAL TE1Es. RAPu'

The President in his message dis 'ehts
ftom the recommendation of the Post
master General that tho government as
sune the same control over the tele-
graph which it has always exercised
oyer the mail. This might perhaps nave
bsen expected. But IT strikes us that
on n subject of so great Importance, ana
in condemuing measure 80 strongly
urged and demanded by the public. ana
which after thorough investigation had
been recommended by one of his Cabi-
net officers, the people we're entitled 10
reoeiye some better reasons thau those
given in the message. The old obJec
ton of competition with private enter
prise is urged regardless of the fact that
il il the duty always of the government
to protect its people against extortion
and outrage, and the further fact that
the mail service of the present day Is
in dire,t conflict with the business OF
expressage in one of its formerly best
paying departments, towit small par
GELS. The other objection is that 1t
would add a large number of employees
To the already numerous civil service
list. This point is not well taken. IN
der proper regulations, honestly
enforced, the vital objection to
large civil service list, i. g.. the partisan
power it gives and aids to perpetuate,
falls to the ground. The employees OF
a government telegraph could be and
should be As absolutely non -partisan rs
soldiers and officers of the army and
navy. That Is to say. there should be
AZ little partisan preference in their
appointment they should be employed
because of fitness exclusively, and
should hold position either for definite
terms of service or during good heha-
vior. They should be- enlisted under
stringent regulations, amply paid and
placed under heavy penalties for viola
ton Of confidence or neglect of duty.
There are no practical reasons why this
plan would not succeed. and its adop-
ton would knock the last peg from I'M
der the worst monopoly Of this genera
ton. The tenderness shown corpora
ton which collects of the public an an
nual tax five times rs great as nee essary
to pay fair dividends upon its actual
cost and value. is most remarkable. The
needs o. the people seem to be ignored
in the fear that governm snt competition
may reduce the dividends of Jay
Gould l. Co. The President, while
treating most subjects in his message
with strength. handles this matter much
too gingerly to suit the general public,
and his expression Of a belief, in con
Guiding his reference to the subject,
that the government ought tn exercise
some sort Of supervision over inter
State telegraph communication will not
satisfy even some ofhis best friends that
his sympathy with public needs Is all
absorbing.

mission Amounted under special la"

CANDY MAKING.-A reporter dropped
in at Il. Merchant L. Co.'S candy factory
yesterday and was much surprised at
what he saw. He found no less than
six girls and three boys, Hnder the d.
recti on of foreman. busily at work
there, making and putting up candy as
fast as they could drive. The reporter
had previously supposed that the candy
makers in that establishment numbered
one, and was considerably taken back
to find ten instead. These ten persons
turn ont mo candy in day than the
average reader would believe was sold
on all Puget Sound. All that they
make ia quickly disposed of, though. as
he who frequently passes sy the store
a ld sees the active trade going on, will
readily believe.

A MURDERER AT LARGE.-Ihere is IA
feeling throughout the County that a
greater effort should be made to capture
Stone, the murderer of Hopkins, on
Thanksgiving day. A reward should be-
offered for him. dead or alive. 1t is now
stated on pretty good authority that
certain parties i'll that vicinity aided
and abetted Stone liz his murc erous at
tack ON Hopkins. If such is the case,
they should be arrested aud punished.
This community cannot afford to lose
its reputation for hunting ont and pun
ishing villains and murderers, and
Stone and his gang are good subjects to
practice on. The officers have been
vigilant and diligent, out 1t would seem
that a good detective should be set to
work to get at the bottom facts OF this
terrible crime in which good citizen
was wronged, and then shot down in
his tracks by man whose hands have
heretofore been stained with human
blood, If reports concerning him are
true, Stone is a bad man, and should
be caught and hung. If not 10y law, by

thus turning him loose on the com
munity to shoot and kill whenever his
