The Covernment and the telegraph.

The Government and the 1eieSfaph'
Government control Of the telegraph is
a matter that has elected a great deal Of
discussion. Within the last six months
attention has been drawn to it by articles
in the newspapers and magazines. The
Postmaster General, in his annual re-
port. presents it in its various
phases. and reaches the conclusion
that the evils Of the present system Oh Ieie-
grapbfc communication are not so grey
Gus as 10 call for Congressional interVen-
ZION. There are three substitutes for me
prssent system suggested. They are stated
bv me Postmaster General TO be as FOL
lows:
lst. The acquisition and operation oil
the existing lines by the government.
u. The construction by the government
0f lines which it will operate in eompe-
titiOn with existing companies. o. Inc
creation OF a company by which lines
Of telegraph are TO be supplied 10
the capital OF each state, and otner
places having a given number OF lhhao-
itants. or where stations are now MAN.
tanned. or the business Of the country may
hereafter require them. The company, IN
consideration Of the special powers con-
ferred by Congress. is. at certain reduced
rates to be prepaid by stamps, 10
transmit messages at a compensation
10 be paid by the United states
not 20 exceed 10 per centum upon us au-
th0riZed capital stock over ana above OPP
Grating expenses. The government Is
Obliged to furnish at each station the re-
quisite accommodations for the officers
lmuIovcd i'm the transaction Of business,
and TO assume the duty Of receiving mes
sages and delivering by mail or otherwise
such as are transmitted.
The Postmaster General says that he has
nOdoubt Of the constitutional power Of Con-
gress TO avail itself Of all possible meth
DDS for transmitting messages and intelll-
eence. and to adopt either of the first two
suggestions above mentioned. He says,
however. that either plan would be at
tended with great expense, and would
increase the patronage Of the government
enormously. 1t Is a grave question
whether the advantages that would
accrue from government control of the
telegraph would compensate for the evils
that would probably flow from an
Increase of government patronage.
The Postmaster General well says
that an increase of patronage
lis one Of the dangers which threaten the
purity and duration Of our Institutions"
There is another thing to be considered.
1t is this: The telegraph would, of
course, be under the control of the
party in power, and in times Of
great political excitement the tempta-
ton to use it for partisan purposes would
be very great. 1t is also argued with
great force that there is no more reason
why the government should control the
telegraph for the transmission Of mes
sages. than itsshOuld control the railways
because they carry the mails. If 1t
is true that the people would
get cheaper service from a government
telegraph, it is also true that they would
get cheaper rates from government rail-
ways. 1t is not probable that Congress
will take any action looking to govern
ment control Of the telegraph yet awhile.

Want Democratic Thunder.
Boston Adcertjser (Rep.)

Upon the two Of the most important
questions that are likely to come before
Congress-taX reduction and civil service
reform-the President has an opportunity
to take the initiative for his party in a
manner that will prevent the Democrats
from gaining any advantage during the
session. The necessity for tax reduction
is as plain and imperative as it was year
ago. Why should the party which has the
President and the Senate leave to fortui-
tous Democratic majority in the House

measure for the relief of the people from

If the Democratic Congress would re-

The Thanksgiving turkey has always
been considered an unc0nquerable bear in
d. New York stock market, and de-
preston has invariably been the rule on
the dav after Thanksgiving. Contrary TO
All precedent the market on Friday last
was strong and even buoyant at its close.
Nearly an favorite securities showed
substantial advance, and the sales were
unusually large. The reason given for
this il that the capitalists are burdened
1gfth money. and. as the government
will nav oct about $j0,000,0O0 the
frst week in January, it is likely that the
demand for first class securities for in
xestYuent VIII BE unusually large. The
lsnus now evidently are having things
their own way. but the ways OF the stock
eneculators are always dark, and devious
and the great money syndicates can toss

can handle a toy balloon. Now Is good

War recommends the increase Of the ap-
urouriati0n for furnishing arms and equip
mauts % the volunteer militia Of the
states. The Importance Of maintaining
a wei organized and equipped volunteer
force In each state can not be over esti-
matted. and the companies ought to be
kert ready for service at short notice.
The military spirit has not been very eX-
uteraut since the war, mainly for the
reason that the expenses Of the volunteers
fnuuIformiu- themselves and maintaining
their organizations are burdensOme. If a
uniform and knapsack were furnished to
each member Of the militia every two

ana every county would have one or more
