MACkAY.S POSTAL TELE-
GRAPH.

~ M
It nov seems an assured fact that
the country will soon be relieved of
the incubus of the Western Union
Telegraph Company which is about
to be superseded by John Mack'y's
Postal Telegraph scheme. Instead
Of paying So 50 for ten words from
Carson to New York the price over
S[ackay's line will be so cents for
100 words. The charge will be half
a cent per word for any distance.
MI. Mackay is ROW asking the Gov
eminent to take a hand IN the
scheme. This company has sent
an agent to Washington author
led to make proposition to Con-
cress on behalf of the company. It
proposes to take the task Of build
ing the postal telegraph line cut OF
the hands of the Government and
to build line at its own expense
that the postofice can as freely use
as if Senator Edmunds' plan should
be fully carried out. It agrees to
build trunk lines between the East
and West and the North and
South, connecting first with all the
principal cities and then will build
branch lines connecting with every
town that has 1000 Inhabitants and
over. It will establish its own Of
fees in sll these places and will
place the connection in each place
with the postof1ice, where instru-
ment and operator will also be sta
toned. The company also agrees
to carry all kinds Of messages,
whether long or short, and whether
for a long or short distance, at the
uniform rate of one half cents a
word.
All the company asks Of the Gov
crnment is for it to agree to sell the
telegraphic stamps Of the company
aud that the stamps shall be de-
yised and manufactured by the
Government. The latter is to de-
duct from the sales the cost Of max
ing and handling the stamps. The
stamps are to be used on messages
as they are now used upon letters.
A message of 100 words viii re
quire fifty-cent stamp The stamp
ing OF messages will afford the com
pany q means of estimating and
correcting its receipts without 8
complicated system of booE-keep
ing. The Postal Telegraph Com
pany asks the Government to sci
these stamps as G guarantee TO,
their receiving enough business te
warrant the outlay in extending the
present telegraph system.
BIZ. Mackay is not before Con
gress asking for swindling susidies
or land grants. He has the capital
10 build the lines at his own ex
rense. His request is modest ant
nnIess Congress is bought up b,
Jay Gould the country will b
speedily reaping the benefits Of
cheap system Of postal teiegraphy

an Advisory Committeeman ITO which
MIR. Fowler replied II have been n
Democratic voter since my majority,
and an honest worker at the polls, but
believing the interests Of American citi-
zens In American Industries should pre-
dominate rather than the devotion to
the principles OF any party and believ-
ing that II the Democratic party be now
placed in power II would be controlled
by men who would ignore the great
principles of protection, find myself
in the present campaign, unable TO sup
port either the platform or the ticket,
and would respectfully decline the APP
polntment named" In letter to the
press, In which he makes public this re-
ply, Mr. Fowler discusses at length the
attitude OF the two parties, both In Con-
gress and In convention, concluding as
follows: Il think the wool growers OF
our country can better afford TO build
their future upon the broad principles OF
protection, and on platform that recog-
nizes sheep husbandry, rather than to
rest their hopes on n platform that de-
clares for a tariff for revenue only or
for Government expenses exclusively
and mentions not their industry. The
tariff of 1867 was Republican measure,
and to that measure wool growers owe
all the prosperity they have had. Also,
had 1t not been for the Republicans of
the House, the Morrison bill, reducing
our present protection 20 per cent.
would have passed. Hence, considering
the political complexion Of the votes In
the last Congress; considering the defeat
of protectionlsts In Democratic conven-
tions and the denomination of those OF
free trade tendencies; considering the
entire past policies and the present plat
forms Of the two parties, ] believe that
for future security the wool growers in
dustry will be safer In the hands OF n
Republican majority and would advise
al. wool growers to so vote"

1.-The base ball contest for the cham

Dallas Times. "The clubs of other
towns have yielded to the superior
strength OF the Fort Worth and Dallas
clubs, and as Dallas has the lead II is
probable that 1t will walk Off with the
pennant. In this much can be read.
South Texas, as usual, has relied on luck
and natural advantages 1t did not
spend dollar, had plenty Of pride In
the success of its boys, and was as con-
iident that the championship would be
won by one OF its clubs as ii was that 1t
was South Texas and Gods country.
Fort Worth and Dallas went in TO win.
They spent their money to win. They
bought the best material to be found in
base ball shops. They played bail MS
they transact business. on their own ex-
ertions, and without hope Of providen-
tial fayors. The result Of the ball games
is only enterprise. Dallas and Fort
Worth have 1t. Were either transferred
to the coast with Its present population,

be solved"
