Word comes from New York, Con-
necticut, New Jersey and Indiana that
the Administration course toward Ran
dali will lose Cleveland those States, a
view of the situation which, it is said, is
startling to his supporters and upsetting
to his belief in fate. Sixty days age
Cleveland was almost the only man in
his party seriously thought of, but since
then the change has been so great as to
raise great and growing doubt of the
wisdom of nominating him.

TIE Pittsburgh Commercial Gazettc
says that the most remarkable railroad
run on record has just been made be-
tween that city and Chicago. The en-
tire distance, 480 miles, was made at an
average speed, including stops, of mile
in one minute and twenty seconds. The
fastest runs we're forty-nine miles in
forty-two minutes and thirty seconds,
and thirty-liye miles in thirty-two min
utes.

Now THAT Randall has been defeated
in his own State by the supporters of
Mr.. Cleveland, and is being vigorously

it is fair to conclude that Grover Cleve-

cratic party has been foreclosed and ex-

THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1SSS.

THE subject of government control of
telegraph is just now attracting unusual
attention. The matter was discussed at
length in the National Board of Trade
meeting at Washington, last week, and,
likewise, before a committee of the
Senate. DIR. NOrvin Green, President OF
the Western Union, made a lengthy ad-
dress before the latter body, in which he
took occasion to aSSail Mr. Powderly, the
head of the Knights of Labor, and un-
dertook 10 demonstrate that government
control of telegraph in Great Britrin is a
mistake and failure. Mr. F. B. Thurber
of New York, and Gardiner Hubbard, OF
Boston, vigorously upheld a system OF
government telegraph.
DIR. Green, in order to make his ease
as strong as possible, asserts that it viii
be necessary to open $4,000 telegraph
offices, in the country if a government
system shall be established. This would
provide one for each post-office. OF
course it would be necessary to do ne
such thing One-iifth of the number
named would afford the country better
facilities than are afforded by the West
ern Union.
] Mr.. Thurber read a letter from mem
Der of the London Board of Trade, il
which it is asserted the service is more
satisfactory in every respect, except that
that it is not self-sustaining, than under
private control. The tolls charged are
one cent for each word, address and sig
nature counted, to any part of the United
Kingdom. The chief objection urged
here is that there would not be the same
privacy under government control as
now Mr.. Thurber's correspondent re-
ports that in this respect government
control improved the service in Great
Britain
o. The Western Union is the most gigan-
tic monopoly in the country. 1t has
squeezed out of existence every rival line
that has ever been built. 1t peculiarly
the property of Jay Gould, the most bold
and gigantic speculatOr the country has
ever produced, and that the public, con-
scious of the great power exercised by
that daring speculator because of his
control of all the telegraph lines of the
country, is dissatisfied and restless, can
not be disguised.
The great newspapers of the country
without exception uphold the monopoly
DR.. Green's arguments are telegraphed
in ertenso to all of them, and printed il
all of them, while very brief abstracts OF
the arguments of the friends Of govern
ment telegraph are furnished. The rea-
son is manifest. These newspapers are
afforded peculiar advantages by the tel
egraph company, and they return the
favor in kind.
This matter viii receive the thought
ful attention of the public and of Con-
gress. OF course the situation here is not
exactly similar to that in Great Britain.
Persons in the civil service in the latter
country serve during good behavior, while
in this country they are subject in a
great measure to the mutations of party
politics. But, on the other hand, the
probability is a better class of men, as a
rule, would be appointed to the post
offices, and, necessarily, changes could
not be so arbitrary.

THE Democrats have voted Carlisle
into his seat whether he is entitled to it
or not. The Democratic organs will
now insist that Thoebe had no case.
But how do they know? Carlisle's par
ty friends in the House refused to ad-
nit testimony showing that he was not
entitled to his seat, and closed the con-
test in spite of a petition signed by
5000 voters in the Speakers district.
The Democrats have hatched a chicken
which may some day come home to roost.

WHATEVER differences Of opinion may
prevail among the Republicans as to the
extent to which the tariff should be re-
formed, there should be no hesitation as
to one aspect of the question-and that
is that the Democratic party has not a
record showing capacity to deal with
tariff or any other sort Of reform.

\ GREAT injustice is done the public,
and especially PostmaSterS at offices like
81. Clairsyille, in the matter of furnish
ing post offices. The Postmaster is re-
quired TO put in boxes at his own ex-
pense, and quarterly TO account for and
pay over TO the government every dime
received for the rent of boxes. As a
consequence, few such offices are decent
" furnished, for the reason that the
Postmaster can not afford to expend six
hundred to eight hundred dollars in fur
nishing his Office, with an uncertain
tenure, and the possibility that his sue
cessor might refuse to take the furni-
ture off his hands, or to take it only at a
heavy loss TO the out t-going officer.
The proceeds of box rents for three
years would furnish the st. Clairsyille
Office in fine style, make it pleasanter for
the public and the Postmaster, and would
add materially TO the revenues of the
office.
We are led to these remarks from the
fact that the office will soon be removed
into handsome and commodious quarters
in the basement of our splendid new
court house, a thoroughly fire proof build
ing, heated by steam and lighted by gas.
Members of Congress can do their con-
stituents no greater service than by right
ing this manifest injustice. The post
offices are close to the people. All of
them are interested in and have dealings
with them, while with the other depart
ments of the government but few have
any business whatever.

WHAT OHIO WOULD HAVE.

IrOntOn Republican,.
If the Ohio Legislature were to pass a
law redistricting Ohio so as to allow only
the same number of votes to elect con-
gressman as in the South, Ohio would
have about sixty or seventy representa-

SENATOR FRYE made good point in
his speech in the Senate, Monday, when
he said that Democrats, distillers, brew
ers and saloon-keepers had recently be-
come great temperance champions, and
were shocked at the proposal to abolish
the internal revenue law and take the
tax off whisky. But he told them that
the genuine temperance sentiment of
the country is rapidly crystalizing to the
belief that the government tax is an OBJ
struction to temperance. Senator Frye
is correct in this. The taxation of whis-
ky and whisky selling is matter for
the States. They need the revenue to
be derived from such taxation. The
national government does not.

THE two tunnels through the Alps,
the Mont Gents, built by French capital
to secure Italian and Eastern traffic, and
the st. Gothard, built in the German in
terest in competition with the French
route, are to be supplemented by third
tunnel under the SimplOn Pass, between
Mont Gents and st. GOthaTd, and offer
ing a shorter route than either of these
two. The Mont Cenis tunnel is 10000
feet long and the st. Gothard near ten
miles. Though great tunnel can be
cut more cheaply than ever before, on
account of the experience gained, the
SimplOn tunnel will cost at least S18,-
100000 to build it. One-third of this
sum has been subscribed by the Italian
and Swiss governments, and, the prov
inces and cantons interested, and the
rest borrowed from capitalists of Paris.
The arrangements have been completed,
and the first stroke of the pick-ax will
soon be struck. 1t will enable France
to win back for its railroad system the
valuable traffic diverted by the Germans
by the construction of the st. Gothard
tunnel.
