THE most grasping, intolerable monop-
oily in the United States is the Western
Union Telegraph Go. The people have
PRAYED for relief and an effort was made
to have the government establish tele-
graph system similar to the postal. But
the Western Union proved stronger than
the people and nothing was done. Ev-
cry competitor has been crushed out and
congressional laws have been such as to
enable this giant monopoly to conduct
things to suit itself. The Baltimore &
Ohio Telegraph Co. is the only one which
seems to be able to withstand the West
ern Union. 1t has not So many branches
and of course does not do the same bust.
ness, but the result of competition may
be seen in the fact that telegraph mes
sage may be sent from Milwaukee to
New York at less rate than from Mani
towoc to Milwaukee. To send mes
sage from Manitow voc to New York costs
four times as much as the same message
from Milwaukee to New York. To that
extent does the Western Union grind it's
patrons when they have not the advant-
age of rival line
The ". q. is now anxious to obtain
possession of the B. & o. Tuesdays
papers published the correspondence be-
tween the managers of the respective
companies on this subject. In case the
b. Il 0. refused to sell it was proposed
to form pool and thus reap all the ad-
vantages of monopoly and Cypress
those who are in need of telegraph SER
vice. The tariff WAS to be advanced st
once if the B. & o. should consent. To
the credit of the latter it refused to sell,
to form pool or to advance rates, and
more, it made the correspondence public.

IT is proper that due respect should be
paid the nations dead, but the news
papers have prosecuted the living while
not honoring the dead in the case of
General Grant. If the circulation of the
large dailies have not fallen oil consider
ably the time intervening the death and
burial of General Grant, then il was
because respect for the great man induced
patience toward the interchangeable scrib-
blers. How many signs were heard as
page after page of the daily paper was
turned over in the hope that somewhere
the eye could rest without some remarks
about the "dead general turning up.
1t was an inhiction indeed.

THEY do things up quickly in the
matrimonialli line inIndiana, remindingone
of the brief but brilliant career of "Sol-
onion Grundy"who was born onMonday.
Lately handsome and stylishly dressed
young man while sauntering aimlessly
through the streets of Vincennes, formed
the acquaintance of a pretty girl. 1t was
case of mutual love at first sight and
that evening they were married and re-
moved to boarding house. The follow
ing morning the girl returned to her
parents thoroughly cured of her in
fatuation for her handsome husband.

The cost of Grants funeral proper,
including rent of stations in the city of
New York, amounts to grand total of
tt1so and quarter million dollars. And
the entire cost OF memorial services in
all cities is estimated at s.. 900, 900; with
out doubt the most expensive funeral
services in the world. The actual neces-
sary funeral expenses were only SO, 655,
leaving the millions as an expenditure
for show

THE following interesting calculations

THE following interesting calculations
have been furnished the Inter Ocean and
are clipped from that paper: "I'he earth
has nearly 50,000,0O0 square miles of
land surface, and 100000 of these
miles are well adapted for settled popu-
lations. Half of the remain der could be
occupied by nomands for pasture lands
and by game. To people 100000 of
square miles as densely as Belgium is
peopled, would give the earth popula-
ton of 6, 400, 000,000 or over four times
its present population. The United
States and Territories. if as densely pop
ulated as Saxony, would have popula-
ton equal to the present population of
the world. Europe, whose area differs
little from that of our country, now has
a population six times as large as ours.
la wealth and population our country is
only in its infancy"

PRINCE Hal was wild lad but his

PRINCE Hal was a wild lad but his
escspades were the exuberance of youth.
Even in these the germ of manliness
shown forth. Churchill of the tory party
seems to be disciple of the wild Prince.
Extravagant in many things, his political
conduct seems to be guided by high
principle and the lordly lord feels for the
plebeian. Lord Churchill seems to be a
friend of Ireland, strange as it may seem,
As he is an aristocrat among aristocrats.
Extremes seem to meet in him and be
cn-ordinated.

SOME mystery seems to hang over the
Maxwell-Preller case. Either Maxwell
is insane and a murderer, or the body
found in the trunk was not that of Preller.
There seems to be no motive for the
murder unless it was the result of insan.
ity, while it is evident there was some
understanding between Maxwell and
Preller which has not been satisfactorily
explained. If Preller had his life insur
ed for an incredibly large amount, then
collision between Preller and Maxwell
is the most satisfactory solution of the
of the mystery and the body found in
the box is not Preller's.

The Sentinel has reports from all the
counties in the state On the question of
license from which it appears that the
present license is very popular. 1t was
thought that the high license would be
very unpopular in this county but the
reverse has proved true. Last year the
city derived a revenue of SIS, 700 from the
saloons; this year it is $4,000 and no
one seems to suffer for drinking places.
This is what has made the people believe
that the increase is not such terrible
affair as some tried to have it appear. A
vote on the license question i'll this city
would give large majority in favor of
the present vote as opposed to reduction.

POSTMASTER GENERAL Villas in the
contest with the steamship companies
seems TO be standing between their
voracity and the public treasury. Con
gress voted 100000 but left it to the
Judgment of the head of the post Office
department whether that amount should
be given the steamship lines or not
They scented the prey and wanted all
OF it. He offered them many times
more than they had been receiving
but they wanted all or none. Mr.. Villas
will likely have backbone enough to ''see
tile thing OUT and when the people
understand the facts they will stand by

PROTECTION papers have a singular
mode of reasoning. The Inter Ocean
says there is great depression of business
in England and states that the tendency
is toward protection in that country. 1t
then states that protection has brought
prosperity to this country but attributes
the present depression to the fear that
there may be a change. But the de-
preston in England, confessedly recent,
is not attributed to the fear that there
may be change from free trade prin-
ciples. Like effects are not results of
Ike causes,

TIE Journal maa surably misinterprets
The Pilots position on the s'spoils mat
ter" What it bad to say of the sub
ordination of ideas of efficient civil ser
vice to those of political loot was the
expression of lamentable truth, not an
approval of the system. One reason
why the editor on the qui viUe for
reward for services rendered is more con-
tamptible than "the lawyer, the doctor,
the dry goods man or any one else" is
that he prostitutes his calling and makes
his paper sycophant. The puffs which
a candidate gets is so much advertising
mentally charged up to the party and a
bill presented when the party is in a
position to liquidate its debts. And the
newspaper man is not content to plead
his individual services, but argues the
servility of the profession as whole, thus
assuming for his own purposes that be is
one of a class to whom the offices belong.
The dry goods man or the lawyer when
he makes a scramble for the spoils, is
silent as to his profession, but places
himself in the ranks of the workers. He
does not drag his business down. The
Journal would certainly manifest res
tive spirit had the late election been
won largely on the issue of tariff reform,
the work done by it in enlightening the
people on the en- ormity of our present
protective policy contributing to that eul,
if the part it took was to be used by some
editorial dead-beat as capital on which
to base claims for position. An editor
has as much right to ask for office as any
other man if he rests his claims on his
competency; but he assumes too much
when he makes his profession a mere
auxiliary to Office begging.

MAXWELL, the murderer of Preller,
has reached the United States in CON-
pany with two detectives. He refuses
to say anything about the murder, and
states that his lawyer in New Iceland
cautioned him -ot to open his mouth for
any purpose but to put food IN it. He
claimed to be Frenchman, and acknowl-
edges he knew Preller. He caused the
detectives no trouble on the trip.

ALL the orations pronounced upon
Grant sink into insignifcance when COM
pared with that pronounced by Blaine at
Augusta. While others were searching
for beautiful metaphor and laboring for
ornate expression, Blaine put thought
in his address and its language has the
polish, the strength and the rhythm OF a
master. There is nothing fulsome
though he accords Grant great praise.
No one can read the address without
conceding Blaine's supremacy in the
field of thought, language and COM
prehensive grasp.

PENNSYLVANIA democrats seem to real

rendered somewhat dubious by their op-
position to the Morrison bill, and now
want to make amends by advocating the

the assistance of Pennsylvania democrats,
and if he did it is certain it would not
be forthcoming.
