Lord Macaulay, though a highly edu- cated man, did not think that too much education was good for the literature of a nation.

If they had been educated gentlemen, they would, no doubt have oontented themselves with few trznslations from the French. and doubt very much that Shakespeare could have written Lear, had he been able to read Euripides-' This, how evez, should not have bad effect on the common school system, even thouc', :, may contain many grains oftru.t Grant had been a professor of garden seeds, and had spent his life in the study of catalogues, he might never have been able to sign his name to the Panama ca- nal article which some fellow wrote for him, and published in the NoyM Am<ys- eas Rsvifv.

Postal Telegraphy.

Since the strike of the Western |
Union Telegraph operators, and the de-
rangement of commercial business Incl
dent to tho uncertain facilities of tele-
graphic communication, the propriety |
of postal telegraph system has been
widely discussed by the leading journals
of the country. The project is appar-
emily not only feasible, but the need CT
the facilities it will supply is pressing.
Il public sentiment, SO far as we are
able to discern it now, be any indica
tion of what popular feeling will be
when Congress meets, there is little
question that the scheme will be earn
estly urged upon the Government.
There is no doubt that under the
constitutional power to Establish post
offices and post routes" the government
has the same right to send let ers By
telegraph as it has by nail, and it is as
much its duty to provide for the quick
er transmission Of correspondence in
this manner as it was to substitute the
mail car for the stage coach. The IN
auguration of such system would be
attended with no difficulties Let the
lines be constructed and the Offices be
established under the direction Of the
Postoffice department and let every
postoffice, where necessity demands 1t,
be also telegraph Office and the whole
system is complete. The objection
that a government telegraph would give
an undue advantage TO the party in
power in a political campaign is of no
weight, since the Western Union and
other private lines would be available
to those who feared to trust the gov
ernment employees. The increase in
the number of government employees
could easily be prevented by abolishlne
the army of internal revenue officers
which is now swarming over the. whole
country. The principal objection
urged is the expense to be incurred IL
building the necessary lines, It il
stated upon good authority that The
Western Union lines and offices can bt
duplicated for $50, ,000,000 at the most
The revenue derived from the business
would pay good interest on thi
amount and would be a good invest
ment of so much of the surplus rcve
nue., the disposition of which is jus
now perplexing our Legislatures. Th
government should not purchase tn
existing lines, even if their owners wer
willing to sell, first because it would
swindled ~ the bargain and second bt
cause the government ought not to hol
monopoly of the telegraph business
any more than any other corporate,
That such system is entirely pra,
ticable is established by his SUCCESS i
Great Britain, where it has been in o.
Grafton for thirteen years. In 1870
was established in England, scotlan
and Ireland at cost of s48, 900, ,O0(
The expenditure in 1882, as show
from the report, was Sc, $4,000, whic
included 3 per cent interest on til
purchase money of $+S,0oo,oo0. III
revenue derived during the same yea
was $8,05S, 5S,ooo-showihg net gain
sl,255,000. It is stated in the repol
that this surplus, in excess Of what
used for extensions, constitutes SIM
ing fund which already amounts
over s25,o00,000.
