Taxing Telegraph Poles.

In the case of the city of Chester's levy
OF tax of 81 license fee per year ON each
telegraph pole within the city limits, Judge
Clayton decided, as had been previously
decided in Philadelphia, that the telegraph
companies had no power to obstruct the
streets Of the city free from police regula-
ton; that the imposition of reasonable
license fee upon the poles maintained in
the streets by telegraph companies was not
only legitimate but an eminently proper
exercise of municipal powers that while
such license fee should not be SO high as
to amount to prohibition of the business,
1t should be determined by what might be
the value OF the police service rendered by
the city to the companies; and the reason
ableness of the fee is a matter TO be deter.
mined by the courts.
There seems to be justice and reason in
this line of decisions. Year bv year the
telegraph poles have encroached upon the
streets of our cities, and the lines of wire are
great distractions, injuring real estate,
taxing the police powers of the munici.
pality and endangering life and property.
While the telegraph is convenience, like
many other kinds of business, il is operated
for private profit, and when the eonstruc-
tion of its line interferes with public COM
fort and obstructs the public highways in
manner that no private citizen is allowed
to, Its privileges should not only be regu-
lated by law, but taxed for the protection
they enjoy and the trouble and discomfort
they cause

Black Pots and Dirty Kettles.


The editors of the New York leading
newspapers, who have been dwelling in
the harmony of monkey and parrot life OF
late years ARE having little time now over
the revelations Of the congressional COM
mlttee that the Times was paid 81 200 for
printing an article sustaining the Bell
telephone company and defending that
monopoly from the assaults upon il. AS
the Times has all along been manifestinp
great hostility to this corporation and
broadly insinuating that the Tyib,ue and
San were subsidized in its interest II mns,
have been a little annoying to it and
rather gratifying TO their malicious nro
pensities that the only revelation of money
paid the newspapers, thus far, has impli.
Gated the Times.
There Is no just reason for putting any
other construction upon this matter than
that which the Times furnishes, and which
all the circumstances of the case 90 to
prove, that the article in question was
printed and paid for as an advertisement /;
and 1t was quite as plainly such as most of
paid reading matter In newspapers. 1t did
not infiu .nce the Times editorially, as that
lon nal then, before and since has steadily
mt ,gon zed the Ball monopoly, and has
lone out feeyice against it.

LAsoAsrER. APRIL 80, lsse
The New Water Main,


Councils should take great deliberation
before they finally resolve to lay the new
water main out Orange street, beyond
Prince, instead Of taking it up Prince to
Walnut and out Walnut. We believe
that the latter route had been agreed upon,
and no satisfactory reason has been given
for the change back to Orange. The rea-
son privately bruited is that it was done to
secure for the electric light contract the
needed vote of member who for himself
and his constituents wanted the main laid
the whole length on West Orange street.
If this scandalous story were true, which
we can hardly credit, it furnishes all the
more reason why the bargain should be
repudiated by councils; and if it is not
true some sufficient reason should be given
or the change to the original route be
ordered at once.
1t is apparently not true that even the
citizens and property-owners want the
Orange street course taken for the petit
ton sent to councils in favor of the Wal
nut street route bears the names of many
representative people, with large interest
in the matter. The Franklins, Bausmans,
Martins, Marshalls, Shirk 4 Peters, Messrs.
Eberly, Kready, Brosius, Holahan, Bech.
told, Boyer, Apple, Lorentz, Fulton, and
many Others who make these representa-
tions are gentlemen who have no doubt
given full consideration to the subject and
are in q position to know what is best for
their end of the city, to be reached and
supplied by this main.
But their arguments are of more weight
on this question than their names. They
present the important considerations that
it will be very difficult and dangerous to
carry the main under the big Water street
sewer and Reading railroad crossing and
also the sewer at Charlotte street; that
West Orange street is macadamized, and it
will be much more of a job to tear it
up and relay it than to dig up West Wal
nut; that the tearing up and replacing of
the street railway will add to the trouble
and expense of the job; that a great
deal more rock excavations will be
necessary on Orange than Walnut,
delaying the work and increasing
the expense of it /; that the more northern
part of this section OF the city is building
up most rapidly; and finally, most import
ant of all, the main on the Walnut street
route will reach point thirty feet higher
than on the other line. These seem TO be
weighty considerations and certainly ought
to prevail with councils, unless balanced
by something more serious than council
mans whim or the payment for his vote on
the electric light issue.

A FIRM OF jewellers in Philadelphia who

years, being about 10 quit it were offered
so,oOo Tor the floor. 1t is fact well known
among gold workers and refiners that there
Is necessarily in large business a waste OF

by each operation, and when these operations
are repeated many times day aud many

quite respectable figure in money value.
Hence this firm declined what seems like a

offered. At the Philadelphia mint like pre-
