Company Oner TO Enter Into IA
Contract with the Govern
ment.
WASHINGTON. February 8. - u. A..
Bates, President Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Telegraph Company, and
Robert GARRETT President pro tenn. Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
appeared before the Senate Committee
on Post Offices and Post Roads to-day to
defend the interests OF that company in
connection with the postal telegraph
measures the Committee has under con-
sideraiion. Bates explained what the
b. aud o. Telegraph Company expected
to accomplish in the way Of competition
with the Western Union. Then Garrett
addressed the committee saying the b..
and 0. Company was prepared to-day to
enter into n contract with the Postoiiice
Department TO transact the business oi
the public upon uome plan which would
be satisfactory to the public and profita'
bic to the Company.
Senator Wilson asked what assurance
could be given, in case the committee
was unable to reach concn.ion in the
matter, that at some not very distant
day the Baltimore and Ohio would moi
enter into a pooling arrangement will
the Western Union Company.
Garrett said the company had no OBJ
lection to giving amy guarantee tha
could be devised, aud would accept any
reasonable rates fixed by any pfactica
I commission. II the government saw fl
to enter into an arrangement with thu

THE fact that the article contributed
to the North American Reciew for No.
vember by DIR. Nervin Green, the Presi,
dent Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, on "The Government and the
Telegraph, us being extensively circulated
in pamphlet form shows that that pow.
erful corporation is sensible of the fact
that public opinion has been worked up
on this subject, and that the general
sentiment that there ought 10 be a
change for the better must be combat
ted. DR.. Green's article is very plausi.
bly, written and by assuming his facts he
has constructed very ingenious plea
for his company. His statement that
the Western Union Company is as eff
cient and cheap medium Of communi-
cation between the people of the United
States as the government systems of tel
egraphy are in Europe is simply not true,
which disposes of the whole of that por-
tion of his brochure. There are mum.
ber of gentlemen in Congress, amongst
the rest Hon. Charles Sumner, who are
supplied with great mass of statistics
as to the European system of postal tel.
s1raphy which will leave DR.. Green
without leg to stand upon The cir
cumstance that the telegraph is not used
in this country to anything like the ex-
tent it is availed Of in Europe for social
messages is of itself conclusive evidence
that the service here is not as cheap as
there, for it will scarcely be pretended
that our people are either more penuri-
Gus or less friendly than their old world
cousins. In that portion of his pamphlet
in which DIR. Green questions the right
of Congress to create Postal Telegraphy
the President OF the Western Union
Company makes his best effort. There
are undoubtedly large numbers of peo-
pie in this country whe do not believe
that law creating government tele-
graph service would be constitutional
and there are still Others who think it
would be very inexpedient, whether
constitutional or no. Debate on the
Postal Telegraph bill of Hon. Charles
Sumner, one of the Congressmen-at-
Large from this State, will doubtless
shortly determine just how many mem
bers of that body hold DR.. Green's
views. 1t is perhaps unfortunate for the
measure that it has been introduced by
a new member, notwithstanding his con.
spicuous ability, as Congress has fash
ion of frequently sitting down on the
work of such gentlemen. But what Mr..
Sumner lacks in length of service in
Congress he viii largely make up in the
fullness of his information as to every.
thing relating to the subject matter of
his bill. During his late visit to Europe
he made an exhaustive inquiry into the
workings of the government system and
he will overturn DIR. Green's laborious
special pleading with the ease with which
a child's house Of card board eau be top
pied over. One thing is apparent, and
that is that the Western Union Com.
pany is fully conscious that il has to
contend with the first real danger it has
encountered in its career.

New YORK, Feb. 9.-The legislative
inquiry into the department OF the
city aud county government was made
interesting to-day by the presence in

John Kelly, John B. Haskins and AL
derman Pearson, parties to the arrange.
ment in the house of John Kelly,
which resulted in the nomination OF
Mayor Edison, and the election of AL,

said he met Haskin at some time prior
to the election at, John Kelly's house.
At that meeting there was no discus.
sion OF the appointment OF a commission
erto succeed German. Witness denied
the committees right to question
him concerning his acts prior to the
date of his election. He went to Kel-
ly's house at the latter's request,
where he met him, Haskin's and 9TH
ers. He was asked what his policy
would be if he was elected mayor. He
replied that he had no certain
hope OF securing the nomination,
but if he were elected he should be so
without pledges; that he would treat the
Democratic party with justice and equi-
ty. lie may have intimated that he
might allow things to stand about as
they were; he certainly made no prom
ises about appointments. John Kelly
declined to answer any question as TO
what occurred at the meeting at his
house. 1t was strictly confidential

nositiyely declined In makn known what

Forfeited Confidence.

The pastor of one of the principal
churches in one of the suburban villages
near Chicago refused to read to the con-
gregation last Sunday notice for a
meeting of the Woman's Christian
by the local Secretary of that organiza-
ton, on the ground that ''the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union having be-
come a political party" he ''could not
read its notices any longer, any more
than he could read the notices for any
other political party" The Chicago
journal declares that: The clergyman
position is right. The leaders of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
were the chief movers in the Pittsburg
Prohibition Convention, which nomi-
mated st. John us candidate for Pres
ident, and the organization rs such, at
subsequent convention of its own at
st. Louis, formally and by resolution
espoused the cause of st. John, thus
becoming, if not u political party, at
least an adjunct and ally of political
party, which is the same thing. 1t did
this against the emphatic protests of
such sincere opponents of the temper
ance cause as Mr.. Francis Murphey,
John G. Whittier, Mrs. Ellen Foster and
others, who warned the advocates of the
third-party movement that the proposed
step, if adopted by the Temperance
Union, would destroy its influence and
power for future usefulness as reform
atory instrumeniality. 1t was an ex-
ceedingly unwise movement on the part
of that society, and has placed the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
in very questionable position before
the general religious public. 1t has
forfeited the confidence and repealed the
sympathy of hosts of its best, most iu-
dicious and most earnest friends, ana
its career of usefulness, if not utterly
destroyed. has at least been very SER
iously crippled. All the good it has ac-
complished in the past few years-and
that has been much-or all the good it
is likely ever to accomplish in the future,
has been vastly more than counterbal-
anced by the irremediable mischief it
has done to the cause of good govern
ment and good morals in the past few
weeks. Having become political or
ganization, it must henceforward be
treated as such, being no longer entitled
to consideration as a religious or reform
atory society. The clergyman's iudg-
ment in its case was correct, and will be
Endorsed by the great mass of religious
people of practical good sense through
out the length and breadth of the land.

A Battle of Ants.

A number of persons were standing
In front of the City Hall, Denver, the
other afternoon. A large number of
ants were noticed running about on the
steps and ground, constantly aug
mented by numbers from unknown
quarters. Examination revealed the
TACT that the ants were winged and
were tumbling from the air. Further
investigation showed that the ants
were of two species, and that battle
begun in the air was raging on the
ground. One of the species of the
warning insects was large and red,
with wings the size of house fly; the
other was small red ant with a
black head and small wings. They
were in superior numbers and attacked
their enemies by twos, tours and scores.
Several balls of the ferocious warriors
when separated showed as many as
thirty small ants on one large one.
Here and there could be seen single
combats, the small ants in every case
victorious. Those that were clinched
in the air remained clinched on the
ground until one or the other was van
pushed and dead.
But as general thing they fell to
the ground and at once prepared for
battle. Each side was under leaders,
who massed their forces and marched
them with military precision upon the
foe. Skirmish lines were thrown out.
The lines advanced, retreated, advanc-
ed again, and then the battle became
general. The rules of civilized war;
fare were observed for while, but be-
fore the fight was over it was go-as-
you please affair. The small ants
were in the majority but their oppo-
nents were giants compared with
them and they crushed the pigmies in
their strong mandibles as an alligator
would q gnat.
For at least half an hour the battle
ragged. The ground was thick with
the dead and the dying, the latter be-
ing dispatched wherever found. At
last the giants were routed. They fled
ANONYMOUSLY, pursued by the pigmies,
who slaughtered them by scores while
in full retreat, some flying, others run
ming to escape with their lives. The
visitors acted as if they wanted to
crow, and probably did, but if they
made any noise the spectators were
not aware OF it. if the vanquished
were.
