MONOPOLY IN NEWS.

A Ringing Article from a Leading News
paper Against the Proposed Measure to
Copyright News Matter.
CINCINNATI, Feb. g. -Concerning the
proposition to introduce bill in Congress
to provide for the copyrighting of news
matter, the Enquirer has the following to
say editorially: ga bill is pending before the
items, or, in other words, to copyright
daily newspapers for forty-eight hours.
The bill was drawn by the General
Manager of the Associated Press, and
the corporation aforesaid has an attorney
at Washington to press its passage Should
it become a law it will cripple every coun-
try newspaper in the land These papers
largely depend for the news features of
their weekly issues upon the metropolitan
dalies. So far as the Enquirer is concerned,
the rural press is welcome to all it con-
tains. We want no legal inhibition
against any one to help himself to the
good things we offer three hundred and
sixty-fye days in the year. The New
York newspapers, or a majority Of them,
favor the proposed law. The COM
plant is made that the New York cor
respondents for newspapers in Chicago
and other points west to San Francisco,
by the reason of difference in time in
their favor, can, without credit, tel
egraph all there is worth telegraphing from
New York to their respective journals
They not only can, but do. One or two
San Francisco newspapers, because of this,
have given notice of a desire to withdraw
from the Associated Press. This is why
the latter corporation favorS the news
copyright.
1.-THE proposed law would be the worst
kind of a monopoly. 1t would be withhold
ing for forty-eight hours the intelligence
of the land. 1t would tend to dwarf rather
than enlighten the people as to current events.
1t would lead TO endless litigation and vex-
alton. 1t would be a step backward rather
than forward. 1t is not asked In
the interest of the people, and is
in fact, against their interest. 1t would
strike at the poor rather than the rich, for
the latter class are largely within the reach
of the metropolitan press. When monop-
oly of the Intelligence of the country is cen
tered in ciTcumscribed space and kept bot
tied, as it were, for forty eight hours, it is
about time to give up the fast mails and the
telegraph. The bill ought to be defeated,
and doubtless will be-"

DARING ROBBERY.

ST. LOUIS, March 4. 1t is the custom al
the Pacific Express Company's office here
to have the money clerk and the day watch
man on duty Sundays, and no one is adj
mitted to the place on these days but mes
sengers who nave money packages to de-
liver. Prentice Tiller was clerk at the Of
fee here, and on Saturday the Waterman
went out about two O'Clock to lunch, leav-
ing three messengers sitting by the stove.
Just after he left, Tiller went out and re-
turned directly with q stranger, whom the
messengers took for a clerk. The two went
into the front office and shortly afterward
Tiller returned, washed his, hands, and said
he was going to lunch. He then went into
the front office, and, when shortly after,
the Waterman went there, he found
the front door open and Tiller absent.
Becoming alarmed, he sent for the superin-
tendent, who found that money packages
enough to fill bushel were missing. Tiller
had evidently brought in a confederate and
the pair had examined the packages in the
safe, selected such as they desired, and
made off Late at night it was found that
$4,000 had been stolen, $40, 600 of which
was in small bills.
Tiller is from Louisville, where his father
is detective of the city force. The robber
received seventy dollars month, and out
of this paid his sisters tuition in board
ing-school. His acquaintance say he was
quiet, unassuming individual, who never
had much to say. 1t is considered probable
that he and his companion walked across
the bridge, which is only a few
squares away from the express Of
fee, in East st. Louis, and there
took train for Canada. The official re-
ward of 1000 which has been offered for
the apprehension of the thieves has brought
out host of detectives, and the city and
vicinity are being thoroughly searched. The
money is believed to have been packed in
large red sachel which Tiller brought to the
office Saturday, and to throw off suspicion
the thief left his overcoat hanging beside
the plundered safe.
1iller is described as twenty-five years
ola, brown mustache and hair, pimply
face, unobtrusive features, slender build,
weight about 1876 pounds, neat dress
and quiet manners

Practical Workings OF the Civil. SerY.
ice Law.

WASHINGTON. March 8. -Communica.
tons of Cabinet officers respecting the
practical workings of the Civil-Service law
accompanied the report of the Ciyil-SerV-
ice Commission recently sent to Congress.
Secretary Frelinghuysen says the law prom
ises most satisfactory results. Secretary
Folger says: " I am not able to say that
there has been developed in the body of the
clerks and officers in subordinate position
any more energy in the discharge of duty
and desire to improve in the abil-
ity therefor" Secretary Lincoln says:
1.-THE result of the operation of the law most
apparent to myself is the cessation of per-
sonal applications for appointments Of this
character, which, before the law became
operative, compelled the head of the depart
ment to give up no inconsiderable portion of
each day to their consideration. The bene-
fit of the law in this regard is very great.
Secretary Chandler thinks the experiment
should be perseyered in. Postmaster-G Cen
eral Gresham says: "The results of the law
have been satisfactory" Brewster, Attor-
ney-General, writes: ut will be a serious
niatake to revoke the law and readopt the
old method
