A GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH.
Mr.. Gardiner G. Hubbard Defends His
Statements I'm tho "American Review
and Adds Thereto.

To the Editor.
wish TO make short reply to your editorial
on Government Telegraphy' Of the fifteenth in
slant.
In my article in the North american Reuiew in
tended to show that the Western Union company
had accom- plished the work 1t undertook.
l said that "as telegraph for business, where
dispatch is essential. and the price of little ac-
count, the Western Union system is uurivalcd
but as telegraph for the people 1t is a signal
failure.
1t was natural that you should be surprised at
my statement that in our country less than IL
per cent. OF the messages are on social matters
and that in other countries the proportion Is
much greater, but you were not justified in saying.
"rhis IL an assumtion, There are no statistics on
this point, but there Is every reason to believe
that the trutlnis precisely the of Mr. Hub
bard's statement Those who are in the best posi-
ton to know believe that the telegraph Is used for
social and domestic messages in this country
much more than in Europe, aud that the proper
tion OF that class OF messages is decidedly greater
here than abroad"
My authority was Mr.. Orton tho former presi-
dent of the Western Union Telegraph company,
who stated before a committee of congress that
less than 10 per cent. of the messages sent were
on social matters, supposed that the proportion
had increased and therefore fixed 1t at II per
cent, but Dr. Green, president of the Western
Union company, recently informed me that II was
only about per cent.
According to the report Of the director of tele-
graph for Belgium for 1884, which is the last l
have received, DO per cent ofthe messages are on
social matters. GARDINER q. HUBBARD.

SINKING TO SLEEP.
Sketch OF the Life OF ex-Gov. Ralph p
Lowe, OF Iowa.

At midnight ex-Gov. Ralph p. loves death was
hourly expected. Ills life was hanging by very
slender thread. The venerable man has been
slowly sinking to rest for ten days, and IL is prob
able he has breathed his last ere these liues will
meet the eyes of the public.
Ralph r. Lowe was born IN Montgomery county,
ONO, about 1900, and after receiving u good col
lcge education, and spending the earlier years of
his manhood in .Ohio, he settled at Aluscatine,
Iowa, in 1889, where he engaged in the practice
of law, mt the same time devoting his energies to
the cultivation of large farm he had bought.
lie soon attained an eminent standing in his pro-
iession. In 1Si9 he removed to Keokuk, and in
1873 was elected judge of the first judicial district
of Iowa, composed of the counties Lee, Des
Moines, Henry, and Louisa. In 1857, while serv-
ing his second term as judge of this district, he
was nominated by the republican party for the
governorship, and elected by large majority.
He served rs governor of the state of Iowa until
1860, having been elected, before the close of his
gubernatorial term, to the supreme bench of the
state for the term of six years. succeeding to the
chief justiceship in due time. Being at the time
of the expiration of his term largely interested in
mining matters in Nevada, he declined n renomi-
nation to the supreme court in 1866. He subse-
quently resumed the practice of law, and came to
Washington about 1870 being employed by his
state to settle certain claims against the govern
ment. Until quite recently, when his health
began to fail, ex-Gov, Lowe has always been an
active, energetic gentleman and warmly devoted
to his profession. Among those who knew him
best, he was admired for his manly qualities. his
sincere friendship and devotion TO his adherents
and frank, open character.

TiIden's Rare Wines.


Rhenlsh wine is said to be the pet weakness of
the sage of GramGrcy park, and thrilling stories
are told of his stores Of maohless vintage. The
finest of these are brought out only on very rare
occasions. There are few men IN the world who
are sufficiently to the old mans heart to have

secrets of the Tilden wine bins. A bookworm who
has his wines ripening with himself although he
