The Senate Committee on Post
offices and Post-roads has listened
to the arguments on both sides in re-
gard to the great question of postal
telegraphy. Two bills providing for
such telegraphy have been referred
to this committee; and it is under
stood that majority of the COM
mittee is in favor of reporting a bill
on the subject to the Senate. The
specific features of the bill remain
to be determined; yet it is probable
that it will be substantially the bill
introduced by Senator Edmunds.
The report of such bill, whether
passed by the present Congress or
not, will be step in advance. The
end must come at last, if not by this
Congress, then by one yet to be
elected. The majority of the Amer
lean people believe in the right, the
practicability, the wisdom and the
necessity of postal telegraphy; and
the more the subject is discussed
the more earnest and decided will
be the attitude of public sentiment
on the question. This sentiment is
destined to prevail, in spite of the
opposition of the Western Union
Company. The simple truth is that
every argument that has ever been
used in favor Of the carriage of let
ters by the Government, is just as
good in favor of Government teleg-
raphy. Telegraphy is a shorter and
quicker way of sending a letter;
and there is no reason why the Gov
eminent, not only for its own pur-
poses, but also for the convenience
of the people, should not avail itself
of this way. The Western Union
Company has become a stupendous
ard INSCRIPTIONS monopoly, defy
ing all private competition and tax
ing the people on millions Of "wat.
cred" stock; and the only adequate
relief to the people is to be found
in postal telegraphs. The sooner
Congress passes q suitable bill on
this subject the sooner it will dc
what greatly needs to be done.

FREE TRADE.

The Atlanta Constitution Dem. J
puts the question of Free Trade in
the United States in the following
terse and emphatic language:
'As we have said in these columns hund-
reds of times, the theory of free trade is per-
feet so far as the arguments go; but all the
conditions that now exist in this country will
have to undergo a slow but complete revolu-
ton before the theory can be put in practice.
The conditions here-the pressure of popula-
ton and the complex relations between CAPT
tai and lahor-must be similar to those that
exist IN Great Britain before the theory of
free trade can be put in practice. If the doc
triRaireS will calculate the number of years
required to bring Great Britain to the free
trade condition, and multiply it by twelve,
they will then have some vague idea OF the
prospects of free trade in the United States"
Well put and exceedingly well said
AS matter Of fact, England was

1t seems to be the policy of the
Democrats in the House of Repre-
sentatives to pass some sort of Tar
if bill, with the expectation that
any bill passed by them will be re-
iected by the Senate, and that thus
tariff issue will be made up for the
Presidential campaign. If this be
the theory, they can make no great
er mistake than to pass the Morrison
bill.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The floods in the Ohio Valley and
the unfavorable weather in other
parts of the country have materially
ppovontoa tho dovolopmont of the
spring trade. For any kind of bust
ness, in most any part of the coun-
try, the weather has been very I'M
favorable. A few days of season
able or fair weather would give
trade a fresh start. Money contin-
ues abundant and cheap. The
movement Of money at the present
time is from the interior to the dis
tributing centres, which may be re-
garded as an indication that collec-
tions are being made and merchan-
disc paid for. The rise in foreign
exchange, Wednesday was followed
by shipment of 100000 in gold,
and, as the difference between the
rate of money in New York and
London is l-2 to 2 per cent, the
expectation of gold will pay. Large
expectations are rumored, one house
in New York expecting to send
abroad $20,0o0,o0o. The reports of
the banks show that they are unusu-
ally strong, those in New York
holding $50, 100000 above the law
full surplus, Under the influence of
its advanced rate of interest the
Bank of England is increasing It's
stock of gold. There is little or no
change in the Fall River strike, and
there is every reason to believe that
in the larger industries of the coun-
try there will be no further strikes
because of the slight reduction OF
wages. During the week per cent
reduction have taken place in sew
eral textile establishments in New
England. 1t is reported that the
stove manufacturers are preparing
for general resumption of work
without decrease of wages. The
tendency of the breadstuff and pro
vision market is slightly downward
except hog products. The genera
opinion prevails that the stock of
wheat is so large that much higher
prices cannot be counted on during
the season. The bulls have contin
ued to hold the stock market during
the week, but the general impression
prevails that the prices are artificia
and would fall under the attacks. o.

by powerful interests.
There were 219 failures during

The Penalty for Marrying
Minors,

Under the laws of Pennsylvania a mar
ed, however, without the publication of
the banns one month in advance. or with
Q at the consent of the parents or guardians
of the minors so marrying, the minister or
magistrate officiat eing is subject to a fine
OF fifty pounds, colonial money, amounting
to Sl33 81 of United States money. The
fact that the preacher or magistrate cele-
bratiDg the marriage may have been de-
ceivcd as to the age of the contracting par
ties is no defense. This act, approved
February IA, 1923. was supposed to have
been modified by an act approved June 2,
1871, so that persons solemnizing marria-
ges of this kind were released from respon-
sibility unless they were fully aware that
the parties were minors. A decision of
the Supreme Court of the State, recently
handed down at Pittsburgh, holds that the
old colonial law is still in force. The case
was taken up from the Franklin county
Court, the couple who were married con-
trsry to law residing in that county. They
were respectively seventeen and sixteen
years of age. The mother of the groom
was alive, as were both parents of the
bride, none of whom had consented to or
were aware of the projected marriage. 1t
was proven at the trial that the preacher
had been deliberately deceived by the elop-
ing couple and the defense was based upon
the act of 1871, which was supposed to re-
lease the parties celebrating the marriage
where the celebration did not take place in
wilful violation of the original law. Both
the lower Court and the Supreme Court
held that the minister was responsible and
subject to the fiue. This decision should
be borne in mind by every minister and
magistrate in the State. The practice of
marrying everybody applying has become
far too prevalent aud not few of the di-
vorce cases in our courts are directly ira
ceable to these hssty unions between per-
sons who should never nave been allowed
to marry. 1t may seem a hardship TO hold
these persons responsible when they have
been deceived but as they are not COM
PEELED to marry anybody, they can insist, !
as a matter of self-protection, on indubita- |
BILE proofs of the right of the parties to
marry who present themselves as candi- |
dates for matrimony.
