thus firm support is obtained for the

THE New York Herald calls the attention
of the telegraph companies to the decision of
the Q. s. Supreme Court in the case of the
freight-handlers' strike last year, when the
railroad companies took the same line of de-
fence that the telegraph companies are TAX
ing now, and would only issue bills of lading
with the same restriction as to delays. But
the court swept aside this plea, with the fol-
lowing vigorous logic:
A body of laborers acting in concert fixed price
Tor their labor and refused to work at less price,
The companies fixed price for the same labor and
refused to pay more. In doing this neither dill an
act violatiye of any law subjecting either to any
penalty. The companies had lawful right to take
their ground in respect of the price to be paid and
adhere to it if they chose but if the consequence of
their doing inability to exercise their cor
porate franchises to the great injury of the public
they cannot be heard to assert that such
ees must be shouldered and borne by an innocent
public who neither directly nor indirectly partci-
pated in their causes.
The court said also with regard to the plea
that the railroad companies were unable to
do business because of the strike. "This ex-
cuse has in law no validity. The duties i'm
posed must be discharged at whatever
cost"

A Bad Failure.

The President, as ultimate authority, has
prevented some bad appointments by subor-
dlnate officers OF the civil service, but not all
OF his own have been good. He has some
advantage with regard to confirming selec-
tions made by others, because he may have
the benefit of public criticism on their fitness
before he acts. In the case of Mr. Keim,
whom The commissioners under the civil SER
vice act selected for examiner-in-ehief, the
newspapers favorable to reform unanimous
ly condemned the selection. The commits
sioners were imposed upon; but the Presi-
dent, in obedience to more enlightened
judgment, corrected the mistake. Very
few newspapers would have recommended
the appointment of Mr.. Evans as Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue if they had sup
posed it was seriously contemplated. His
brief administration has been conspicuous
for blundering. The latest performance is
quite in keeping with his character and his
notions of the uses of . the public service
He nominated ten of his friends TO take the
places of the expert counters now engaged
In the government bank-paper works of
Massachusetts. Those nominated had no
experience. Secretary Folger prevented the
consummation of this outrageous proceed
ing by refusing to confirm them, and notify
ing the commissioner that the interests of
the government required that these places
should be filled by experts, and that those
now holding the positions, being competent,
must be retained. How long the President
will suffer the Commissioner to exhibit his
bumptiousness in office ne cannot tell, but
If he should set him down in private life
again the action would be very popular

ONR of the effects of the strike is to give
new impetus to the scheme of a govern
ment system of telegraph, to be conducted
for the public as the post-ofiice business is
conducted. There are obvious objections TO
such scheme, one of which is the multipli-
cation of offices; but the community now is
driven to consider whether .the evils of the
present situation are not worse than that.
It is plain that the existing state of affairs
cannot continue long without stirring up an
agitation of this question more serious than
we have had yet. Perhaps the talk in fu-
ture will not be about buying out the West
ern Union as ii has been in the past, but
about establishing new lines,-in favor of
competition rather than of purchase. No
doubt any movement in that direction would
be met by great reduction in the cost of
telegraphing. The dividends the Western
Union Company now earns are not based
upon the cost of the plant, although a large
proportion of the present owners of stock
have paid for it and would be distressed if it
became worthless. Government manage
ment is more costly than private manage
ment; but government could build lines and
operate them at price which would wreck
the value of Western Union stock inflated
as IL is

THE Republicans in the New Hampshire
Legislature are still at loggerheads on the
Senatorial question and not likely to work
their way out very soon. The eorrespon-
dent of the Boston Advertiser says that
there can be no election until after confer
ence, and there can be no conference until
Secretary Chandler takes himself out of the
way. If he would take the initiative, neith-
er Stevens, Tappan nor Patterson would
stand in the way, but as long as he remains
in the fed they will keep their position.
The Secretary has, it is said, sixty followers
who will not desert him or any other repre-
sentative of the machine as long as their
votes are wanted, and he appears to be de-
termined that representative of the ma
chine shall be chosen or there shall be no
choice. 1t is very plain that he cannot be
elected; but this is not new phase; it was
apparent week ago. President Bartlett of
Dartmouth College, Ex-Congressman Pike
and Ex-Congressman Ray seem to be the
available men.

ALREADY the question eff the place of the
next National Convention is under discusJ-
ion. At present it seems to be assumed
that the Republican convention will be held
in the East. New York men are advocating
the advantages of Saratoga and PennsyI-
vanians are setting forth the merits of Phila-
delphia. Probably Massachusetts will de-
sire to be heard before the decision is
reached, anf perhaps the West will not be
30 Indifferent as it now seems to be. A

may be necessary in the way of providing

of hotel accommodation for such throng
as National Convention calls together.

essence Hop Bitters-and l can already, after so
short a time, assure you that l feel much better
than l have felt for months.
1 have had, during the course of four years,
three times an inflammation of the kidneys.
The last, in January, 1880, was the worst: and
took a lot of medicine to cure the same, in con-
sequence of which my stomach got terribly
weakened. suffered from enormous pains, had
to bear great torments when taking nourish-
ment, had sleepless nights, but none of the medi-
cine was of the least use to me- Now, in conse-
quence of taking Hop Bitters, these pains and
Inconvenience have entirely left me, have a
good nights rest, and am sufficiently strength
ened for work, while 1 always had to lay down
during the day, and this almost every hour. L
shall think it my duty to recommend the Bitters
to all who suffer, for l am sure cannot thank
the Lord enough that l came across your prepa-
ration, and hope He Will maintain you long
time to come for the welfare of suffering man
kind. Yours very truly,
