POSTAL TELEGRAPH SYsTEM.-WAsH~
INGToN, Aug. ia prominent repre-
tentative said to-day that it was very
evident that Congress would be called
upon at its next session to legislate in re-
gard to the question of the control of the
telegraph, with many indications in fav-
or of the adoption of the postal telegraph
system. $50 that we can handle the
matter as thoroughly as possible" he
said, Il propose on the first day of the
session after the House is organized to
introduce bill making it panel ofense
for any Senator, Representative or Off
cial of the government to accept tele-
graph frank from any telegraph company
When a man has book of these franks
in his pocket, he is unable to consider
the telegraph question in an independ-
ent manner. Cutting off the frank bust
ness will, even if the postal telegraph
system is not adopted, correct an abuse
which has been growing constantly in
the past few years.

THE MOTHER OF GOVERNORS

An anecdote which is told of the famous
Sullivan family of New England may not
be uninteresting here.
When that sturdy Irish woman, to
whom the Sullivan family may well look
back with pride, was crossing the Allan
tic on her way to the new country and
was asked "Why do you come to Amer
ica?'' she answered "To raise Governors
for them," little dreaming that she would
live to see one of her sons Governor Of
New Hampshire and another Governor
of Massachusetts, though | am sorry to
say the third did not so much honor to
his family, and WAS known as "Devil
lJlm." The story goes that when John Sui
ivan rose to be Governor of New Hamp.
shire he desired to give grand dinner
to a number Of distinguished guests. A
member of his family at the time was his
mother, and fearing he would not be
equal to the occasion he concluded il
would be best to arrange for her non.
appearance at the dinner table.
Approaching the matter as gently as
possible, he soon succeeded in making
the ouick-witted old lady understand the
drift of his diplomatic talk, and in con
vincing himself that he had miscalculat
ed the pride of the mother ofthe Sulli-

the place of the meeting of the trieunial
convocation in 1886.
The Columbus, Ohio State Journal says
regarding the workings of the new liquor
tax law in that state: "Day after day
come in reports showing the substantial
benefits to the taxpayers from the Scott
law The Hillsboro city council has re-
duced the tax levy for the coming year
from 9.6 mills to 8.51% mills on this &C
count, AID in Gibsonyille, lively village
in Sandusky county, the authorities will
not levy any municipal tax at all, the
revenue from the tax paid by the saloon
men under the Scott law being sufficient
to cover expenses. A reduction of the
tax levy has been made in many other
towns of the state, and the practical
workings of the law are proving SO emil
nently satisfactory that the howl of the
opposition to it has died out"
The Post Office Department has of late
been looking up the postal agreement be-
tween this country and Canada. It was
thought that when the new law reduc-
ing postage to 2cents goes into operation,
October l, it would interfere in some
way with our agreement with Canada,
when this country agreed to carry let
tiers from Canada for cents, provided
Canada, in return, would deliver letters
there from this country. It has been as
certained that there is clause in the agree.
ment which says that the domestic rates
in both countries should govern. A 2
cent stamp, therefore, will only be needed
to send letter to Canada after October l,
while letters sent from Canada will have
to pay 3. cent postage, as now.

TURN THE RASCALS OUT

Governor Hamilton, of Maryland, pre-
sents conclusive reasons for turning out
the Democratic rascals of Maryland. The
Governor is a Democrat himself, but in
the address which he has issued to the
people of the state he charges the last
three Legislatures with gross extrav&-
gance; with creating needless offices, and
with shameless defiance of public deceu.
cy. They practiced the same petty de-
ception which was attempted at Albany
last winter, that is, abolishing and cutting
down salaries in certain instances and
creating new salaries and increasing
others. TIE shameful condition of af-
fairs he exhibits as startling, because
Democratic Governors are not in the hab-
it of speaking so frankly of their party s
methods Mr.. Cleveland in sending the
extraordinary message of May 4, 1888,
to the senate somewhat approached Mr..
Hamilton. The latter declares,the Demo-
cracy of Maryland is honeycombed with
corruption. Mr.. Cleveland declared that
"the overweening greed for patronage"
was so intense IN the Democratic party
that the public business was neglected.
If these two Democratic Governors mean
anything, it is that the rascals are to the
fore of their party, and that ''they must
GO before the semblance of good govern
ment can be secured. Indeed, Governor
Hamilton makes no disguise fit, and
declares if an earnest reform movement is
not begun an independent party must be
formed in Maryland. There is no doubt
of the need of reform wherever the Dem
ocratic party is in power; but the only
true way to reform is 20 turn all these
Democratic rascals out-NeC York
Commercial AdUertiSer.

THE STRIKE OVER.
WATERFOWL, WIS, AUGUST %

The news flashed over the wires last
Thursday night that the operators had
capitulated and the strike was over. The
operators in the east were the first to
surrender aud give up the fight against
the great Western Union monopoly, an
example soon followed by the rest of the
brethren throughout the country. The
operators maintained strong fight and
struggled manfully for their demands,
but the opposition was too firmly organ
lied and gained the mastery. The oper-
ators have been taken back and situations
given them regardless of their prominence
in carrying on the strike. With that
dignity and fairness that has characterized
all their proceedings, the brotherhood
allow the lady operators to have the prefer
ence for positions. The country through
out its,length and breadth feels relief
that the strike is ended and the Telegraph
business placed in successful running
order once more. The strike has not
been without its lessons to both sides
and it is hoped that each interest involv-
ed will profit by the experience of the
past few weeks. The Western Union
should not take advantage of the situa-
ton to rule as it were with an iron hand,
VIII lie the operators should be careful not
to be too excessive in their demands for
nrivilanes and WAGES
