TAEGRAPHIo COMPETITION.

Nothing which appears in the Wes-
tern newspapers this morning will be
read with greater interest than the item
relating to the opposition to the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph Company. 1t is
said that the companies are taking in
ventaries preparatory to a consolida-
ton, and that they will extend their
lines to the Pacific Coast. If the tel
ephone patent should not be wooded
and the monopoly should continue, it is
probable that in time the Bell Company
would rival the Western Union in the
amount of its robbenes of the people,
but at present the Western Union stands
at the head of the monopoly
thieves, its extortions aggregat-
ing hundreds Of millions. Latterly
the Pacific Coast has been the
heaviest sufferer from the operations of
the plun6erer, as there has been no
competition, the Western Union having
things all its own way, while in many
paey of the east competition has
brougth rates down to reasonable fig
ures. The western newspapers espec-
tally will rejoice in the coming of an
opposition telegraph line, for with it
will come not only reduced tariffs. but
also opposition press associations,
which will secure better, fuller and
more efficient service for the news
papers. AS western publishers and
people know the Associated Press ser
vice on this coast for the past
year has been as nearly worth
less as incompetent or lazy cor
respondents and reporters could
make it, and what is still more annoy
ing is the fact that the service is monthly
growing worse and less efficient. The
papers have never been required to pay
more for the press dispatches than they
are paying to-day, while for half the
money they used TO receive heavier and
in every respect better reports.
We hope there is more than stock
manipulating purpose in the rumor of
a formidable opposition to the Western
Union, and that the time is not far
distant when the benefits from the COM
petition will be enjoyed by the people
OF Utah and of the Pacific Coast gen
orally.

CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

In his recent letter endorsing and ap-
plau6ing the civil service law, President
Cleyeland said that wherever it has
gained a foothold it has steadily adj
Yanced in the esteem of those charged
with the public administrative duties.
Perhaps by the time Mr.. Cleveland re-
tires from the White House he will
learn something of the true sentiments
of the American people. There is no
law in the books which is more unpopr.
lar than that which assumes to reform
the civil service. 1t is a fraud and a
humbug, denounced by the public and
proclaimed against by executive offic-
ials. On the very day that Mr.. Cleye-
land wrote as above, his Commissioner
of Pensions, General Black, told Con-
gressional committee that under the
civil service reform system a mans pen
sion had been increased from SO to S2i
a month in the face of the adverse IT.
ports af seven medical boards. The
Commissioner also said he was uncer-
tain about the affairs of his office be-
cause, by the civil service reform sys-
tenn, he wss compelled to entrust the
execution of its business to men in
whom he had little confidence. 4
law can never be success or
which forces upon an
executive officer subordinates in whose
selection he has no choice or voice,
and in whom, consequently, he cannot
have the confidence which should exist.
A bank cashier would not like to be
held responsible for money handled by
clerks of whom he knew nothing except
that they had passed successful
as tellers and accountants.
General Black, as head of the Pension
will never be able to manage
the bureau as he wants to until he can
select his subordinates for every depart
ment and branch of the service, and no
other executive can do as he pleases
while he is handicapped by the civil SER
vice law. The fact is th& while the act
looks pretty in print. it is a failure in
practice and should be repealed.

The CHAMPION OARSMAN.
John Teemsr Home Again.

PITBBUBG, Pa, December 6.-John
Teemer, ex.champion oarsman OF the
United States, has arrived from Eng.
land, where he went four months ago
TO row Beach, the Australian cham
pion on che world, and others. He
arrived In New York last Saturday
on the eteamer Nottingham, and al
though somew hat i'll on the way over,
lookg TO be Ia fine condition. He
etated that no was very much pleased
with the treatment he received in
England, and came back with cousid-
cradle more money In his pocket than
he hsd when he went away. One
rsason he gave for the Americas oara-
man making such a poor showing
against Beach, was that none OF them,
including himeelf, were in q ret class
Al the came time he
that although Gaudaur wac not
we'll when he rowsd Beach, the latter
was also feeling badly, but beat him
two lengths In q mile and a half,
which has always been Gaudaur's
distance. The Australian said
we were the epeediest rowers he
had ever seen; in fact they
were extraordinary for speed.
Beach beat Gaudsur by two lengths
at the latter,s iavorite distance, ore
mile and a hall, and Mattersou5 the
other Australian, beat me by four
in the same distance, but could
not stay to the finish. Every g G Of
the series was rowed on the square.
One thing that surp Used me Over there
wac the heavy betting by the English
sporting men. Groups Of them would
on the referees boat, aud bet
as much as $500 and E400 at a time,
making extraordinary pools. Teemer
added that he expects Hanlan home
about Christmas, and will challenge
him after be returns, He will also
row Bssch ngsin IL he comes to this
country. He added that Bubear ia
coming over next year. Teemer will
at McKeesport, and row double
with Hamm next season.

ellis RESOLUTIONS.

WASHINGTON, December 6.-Repre-
'ont8tivo Curtin has is ued n call for a meet
ing OF his Hpeoial Labor Committee tOmor-
row to outline'a plan Of procedure in COM
piling its report.
The subcommittee Of the House Commit
tee on Appropriations, which has been an
gaged in tho pre- parat on of the sundry civil
sppr p'iation bill, completed that measure
this morning aud reported II to the full COM
mittes: which Immediately began its
$500 $40, which is sl2. $50, 1000 less
than the estimates, 1858 900 less than the
appropriation for the current year. and S..
pria'ions made by the b. II as reported to the
House at the last session. Fourteen mem
beers OF the sommittee were in attendance at
this n orniDE''s session when the House
adjourned, This afternoon another meeting
will be held and further progress made in
the preparation of the sundry civil bill.
The resolution offered today by Senator
Mitche l, OF Oregon, re" ties in it preamble
that the appropriations for the CO. tin uatien
Of work upon the canal and locks at the
improve mont Of the mouth of Yaquins bay
aud Coos bay, in Oregon, were available on
the 5th day of August; that no work was
done at the Cascades un il the 10th of 0oto-
Der, thus losing the groit advantage OF, low
wafer, good weather and long days;
that the expenditure OF the other Rppyopris a.
tions referred to has been postponed until
next spring, and that commercial bodies
representing the communities most deeply
interested, as vel as the water ways con.
vention have deprecated the delay aud have
parsed resolutions Of regret that tho en-
gineer in charge Of he work at the Cascades
bad been relieved after submitting his pro-
ject, thus necessarily occasioning further
delay. The reso utiOn directs that the Sec,
rotary Of War inform the senate what
changes in the assis ment Of engineers in
charge of tho works in Oregon and
Washington Territory have been made and
nit ed by the officers relieved had been sp-
proved or rejected; what changes had been
made in the plan Oi work and expenditure;

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

WAsHINGroN December B-An i'm.
p1rtant decision was rendered in the United
stttes supreme Court today in the tax case of
the City OF New 0rleabs against de Louisi .
ana Lottery 'ompany, brought here by
appeal from the Circuit Court on the limited
states for tho Eastern Distsict OF Louisiana.

The act incor Grating the Louisiana Lot

eLedlted 70 the Fdueationil Fund, and that It
should be exempt from all other taxes and
licenses from the Site, parish. or municipal

other Lroperty by virtue of tbs provisions Of

inference is that the taxation of the Louis

view Of section As Of act n of tne year 1880,
that II was not the intention of the

MEMPHIS APPEAL.
TURspAY, . : Dc. !, 1ss0.
THE PREsInENl,s MEssAaE.

We have neither tie time MOI the
Epace. this morning to make any ex'
tended comments or President Cleve-
lands message. Like everything that
emauates from the President, The mes
sage will be found an able, sound,
sensible document, truthful, straight
forward, and free from the Clsp-trap
Of the demegogue. Il does credit tn
Sic hand and heart of lis author. II
is written with sb lity and carries
upon its face the impress Of deep
thought and IN earneet desire to pro-
mote toe welfare Of our common coun-
try. II will be seen that the Presi-
dent is eminently sound on the tariff
question; recommends that revision
and reform which the supporters Of
the Morrison bill endeavored to &C
complith during the last session Of Con-
grsss. That part OF the message which
recommends Congress to make an sp.
preparation to pay the losses which
the negroes incurred by the Freed
name Bank win provoke much criti-
cism. But we believe the Democratic
House will indorss the Presidents
RECOMMENDATIONS. The Freedman's
Bank WIS REGARDED by the negro ss a
government institution. Ii was gener-
ally controlled By uniformed officers,
and as the government was indirectly
party to the swindle, the government
should restore the money out of
which the negro WAS swindled, The
negro had just been freed from slave
ny, he was ignorant, easily imposed
on by men in uniforms, and II is hoped
through Democratic honesty and just
ice the government will refund every
dollar which the negroes deposited in
the Freemen's Bank, and out OF which
they were swindled by Republican
officials. We hope the readers Of the
APrEAL will give the message a care
ful perusal. It's general temper and
tone, aud the ability and statesman
ship with which it discusses the ques-
lions before the country, should i'm
sure it the cordial appreciation Of the
good, the wise and the patriotic.

TIE LATE l.. l. HALEY,
mas nuriAl at EImwood yesterday

The cdd and snow did not prevent
the friends 81 the late L. L. HALEY
from attending his funeral yesterday.
Every employe OF the Mississippi and
Tennessee railroad was anxious to at.
tend tho funeral and attest their re.
epect aud loving friendship for the
deceased, but imperative duty pre-
vented. Mr.. Haley was 81 years of
aga, He has been on the Mississippi
aud Tennessee road for about twenty
years. He commenced as brakeman,
and showed such interest and aptitude
In railroad efiairs that he wac made
conductor ten or fifteen years z o In
which position he won the entire CON
hdenca and admiration OF the officials
and univsrsal popularity from Mem.
phiB 10 Grenada. Passengers always
felt secure when Haley had charge of
the train, and he was an especial
fayorite all along the line. He re.
tdued the u%nbounded confidence of
Supt Burke up to the last
tip he made two weeks ago. His
honesty was never questioned, and
he died with an integrity unsullied.
Mr.. Haley was q member Of the Ma.
comic order, was also a member Of the
Knights OF Honor sud OF the order of
Railway Conductors. He leaves three
children, the oldest only IL years OF
ege. His estate is valued at SIS, 900.
II ever = man died OF q broken heart
the death N l., l. HALEY furnishes a
in point. Five months ago his
vile died and he never recovered from
the shock. His affections were strong
and his love for his wife filed heart
and brain with q wild, mad dame, and
when chs died oil OF life's hopes we're
blighted; be became a physical wreck
and two weeks ago the malAdy reached
his brain and his mind sympathised
with his crushed heart aud the chat
tered body, and &c: Sace death was mer-
ciful, for life TO him was q burden, In
railroad circles Mr.. Haley was a prom.
inent figure, and he was q universal
iavorite along the railroad on which he
has 90 long been q conspicuous aaorn-
ment, and there will be q general *.
preston Of sorrow az his death. Long
will he be held in .sffeotiona,e remem.
by those who knew his incor-
ri ptibls honesty, the amiability OF his
nature aud the many noble traits Of
his Character.
