The hares started of on the BackenOurg

about ia all directions, looking Tor the

A TeIeerspher,s story.


A telegrapher tells this story about the
late Gen. Arson Stager, which was new
TO me:
away back in the early days." he said,
'when the printing machines were grad
ually going out, as operators gradually
learned to read by sound, Gen. Stager,
not then a General, was division superin-
tendent on a Western telegraph line, with
headquarters at Cleveland. At an office
farther west, say Indianapolis, was an
unusually bright and expert operator,
who had Just one fault-he would get
drunk. He was very rapid sender for
those days and an extremely good re
ceiVer' by sound. even for these days.
But, as | say, he would get drunk, and
once drunk he was useless for days. The
chief operator at Indianapolis had COM
planned of him to Stager, VINO had threat
ened him with dismissal II he got drunk
again, and yet he was drunk again. The
chief operator telegraphed the sad fact to
J Stager, and Stager replied:
"'Call me up when Jones comes in;
want TO talk 10 him.
| so when Jones got sober and came into
| the Indianapolis Office the chief operator
! told him to call up Stager at Cleveland,
! who wanted TO speak 10 him. So Jones
/ called up the Cleveland telegraph Office
/ and asked the operator to tell Stager that

| the Indianapolis end Of the line. In few
minutes Stager took the Cleveland key
and clicked over the wire to Jones'

'Now Jones knew that he had just one
chance. Stager was learning to receive
by sound and he wanted it thought that
be had learned. But Jones happened to
know that Stager could only read by
sound messages that were very slowly
sent. Heknew that there were other OPP
orators in the room with Stager at Cleve-
land, and he calculated that Stager would
be equally unwilling either to ask in their
presence that message that he could not
read be repeated or TO ask them TO assist
him 10 read IL. So Jones pounded away
at his key as rapidly as he could for three
minutes. sending, OF course, an absurd
cock-and-bun story, not one word OF
which did Stager catch until Jones slowed
down and wound up with, And that's the
way it sill happened" Instantly Stager
responded:
livery well. You may stay, but don't
do it again."

THE BABY HAS COME.
Experiences of Telegraph Operators
with Young Fathers.

FROM ne chicago Hsr0t0.
Said one of the Western Union tele-
graph receivers yesterday: "Do you
know that few people outside the doctors
and the telegraph receivers realize how
many babies are born in the world? Why,
there isn't a day. Sundays included, that
] don't handle from - to - baby tele-
grams, as we call 'em. By these | mean
telegraphic announcements OF the advent
OF little strangers. There's a good deal OF
human nature in these messages. OF
course, they are usually sent TO the little
lsAgYandparents, and they take on all
exuberance from the wildly ex-
allied ecstasy Of a first-DOFn to the cold
Formal, and not intrequently disguised
announcement Of the sixth. 1 will say,
however, that after the second or third
event Of the kind the lightning is not
drawn on so recklessly. The slower pro-
cess Of the nails is considered enough for
the emergency. The coming OF the first,
however, is as sure TO bring out an ex-
cited telegram as the sun shines. 1t Is
great fun 10 watch the senders OF these
nrst baby dispatches as they prepare
them. A young father comes IN with q
hurried step and an exaitant, be2ming
face. He grabs blank and dashes on
something like this:
".Great news! Mary very i'll. Fine

STILL A-WEEPING.

The Republican Tribune is consoling
itself by publishing extracts from Repub-
lican newspapers in which the Presidents
request for the resignation OF Governor
Murray is characterized rs "a grave
blunder," and perhaps worse than that
If the Tribune really derives any solid
comfort from laying before its readers the
messes OF trash which daily appear in its
columns in regard to that matter, it is
quite welcome to indulge itself therein TO
the full.
One extract is made from the New
York Mail and Erpress, in which it is
asserted that "the virtual removal of
Governor Murray of Utah, in the midst
of his prolonged and fearless fight for the
supremacy of Federal law and for Chris
tian monogamy, is another illustration OF
the double-dealing and bad faith of this
peculiar Administration" 1t will, per-
haps, be all-sufiicient to mention that
this New York paper bases its con
clusion herein almost exclusively on
the wailings Of that Clone journalistic
representative OF Christian civilization
and American sentiment" the Salt Lake
Tribune. But the animus OF such ebulli
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-03-26

tions may appear still more clearly when
it is noted that neither the Republican
organ here, nor any OF its party contem-
poraries, have yet given the first intima-
ton OF reason why the removal
OF Murray was a blunder or worse,
or in what manner the Terri
tory OF Utah is going to suffer
because a Republican Executive is to be
superseded by Democrat. The nearest
that any OF these Republican newspapers
can come to giving treason" for char
acterizing the Presidents action as "a
blunder." is the expression OF ground
less fear that Murray's resignation may
perhaps "delay and retard the reforms
which he was so vigorously advancing
all Of which is no reason at all, but
simply undiluted drivel, born OF the dis
appointment which results from futile
efforts to keep a party friend in an office
which ought to be filled by a Democrat.
And that is all there is to it.

DRAWING TO A CLOSE.

The gratifying intelligence is flashed
over the wires that the obstruction farce
now being played in the United States
Senate by the Republican majority, is
likely to be brought to final vote either
at the close OF this or the early part OF
next week, when the gentlemen who have
so persistently sought to obtain and
attempted to coerce the President into
laying before them all the papers in the
now-renowned Duskin case, will doubt
less have the leisure to indulge in u
retrospect and reach full realization of
the fact that they have been making
ridiculous exhibition of themselves alto
gether unworthy OF Senators OF the United
States.
Debate on the Edmunds resolutions in
this case has dragged its weary length
through several weeks, and the public
business which ought to have had the
attention of the Senate, has been shame
fully neglected. But the end is evidently
near at hand, and from all that can be
learned from dispatches and exchanges,
the Republican Senators are very sick OF
the undertaking upon which they entered,
and will be only too glad to drop the
matter at the earliest possible moment.
Yesterday Messrs. Voorhees, OF Indiana
and Evarts OF New York took turns in
speaking to the resolutions, and few
more oratorical whacks will wind up the
business, to the great relief OF everybody
