DIR. GREEN ON POSTAL TELEGRAPllS
He THINKS THE GOVERNMENTS PROPER PLAN is
IA my THY WrsTERN Union.


WASHINGTON, May 2.-Dr. Norvin Green, OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company, to-day appeared
before the House Committee on Post Ohces and Post
Roads to present facts upon the subject OF the
telegraph system Of the country. Ho first addressed
himself to tho Hopkins bill to establish postal tee-
graph Such enactment would be, he said, a
monstrous wrong The rights Of property wero en-
trely ignored. Tho act Of 1886 to aid in the con-
strucon and maintenance OF teegrsphs provided that
II the Government should establish postal telegraph
system, 1t would take the property OF the companies
accepting the provisions of the act at valuation to
DO ascertained by five persons Under the provisions
Of that act fourBhs of the telegraph properties OF
the country had been created and established, be-
levtng and relying the good faith Of the Govern
ment Having accepted the act the telegraph COM
panes had performed their part Of the compact faith
fully and that performance had saved the Government
moro than million dollars. Tho business of the
Government had been about 100000 year, and the
rates established by the Postmaster had been
about onehah tho usual rates Of commercial messages
The speaker said that his remarks were not made with
q view Of selling tho western Union to the Govern
ment. The Western Union Company did not want
to sell but its purchase the only proper basis
which the Government could 60 into the telegraph
business.
DR. Green said that q whole, the British rate
somewht lower than the Western Union rate, and
that was why the British system losing money.
The average salary OF operators.na!e and 1emaie-
in England was So6 against $6l IS in New-YOrk.
The 6l5 operators In the New-York Office did about
fifteen per cent less work than the 1,943 English
operators.
DR. Green next turned his attention to the pending
Interstate telegraph bills, and repeated the Same
criticisms upon them which he had made before the
Senate Committee: He was particularly bitter in his
reference to the drag net subpoenas which had
PEELED the production Of great files Of messages.
Touching aD assertion which had been made upon
the floor OF The House that Jay Gould owned the West
ern Union Company, DR.. Green said that Mr.. Gould
did not a fourth interest, and that the entire
Board of Directors, thirty mombers, owned less than
three-eighths Of the stock

ECHOES OF TUESDAYS DEBATE.

Washington, May spcclap.-There were rumors
current about the Capitol to-day that Senator voorhees,
was going to apologize to tho senatenot to Mr.. In
galls-for the dsraoeful language used by him yes
terday in the Of debate. If such was his In
tention no did not carry it into effect All day he was
conspicuous only by his absence from the Chamber
MI ingalls, occupied usual the chair, looking re-
markedly fresh, pleasant and serene Those who saw
the Indiana Senator in the Of the day remarked
that the remains did not look quite so handsome as
they might, which under the circumstances Is not to
be wondered at. There is little sympathy expressed
for Mr. voorhees,. Those most chartably inclined to-
ward him pretend to say that he was not altogether
himself yesterday, and that Mr. Ingass remark about
the rock pile" hit the nail on the head.
Mr. voorhees, has for years posed as the friend Of
the soldier and his self-chosen advocate. His war
record, exposed by Mr.. ingalls,, shows how little
claim he has upon the gratitude Of Union men. The
general sentiment is that Mr. Voorhees, deserved all he
got especially in view Of tho cowardly and brutal at
tack he made upon Representative Johnston OF Indiana
who was present In the Chamber as . spectator and

LONDON DOCK LABoRERs.

Strong Mon Who Work Very Hard for Worry
Littlo Pay.
The dock laborers of East London
are rather looked down on by laborers
in other work. They are rough
class of men, upon whom the econo-
mist frowns and who give the philan-
thropist plenty of employment for his
time as we'll rs money.
They toll. when they can get work,
from six until six. and earn on an av-
erage about five dollars week if they
understand their business and are
strong and capable. The regular
hands are paid ten cents an hour, av-
eraging about seventy cents a day
throughout the year.
1t seems strange that London dock
laborers have no trades-unions or So
ciety for aiding each other. The
trouble is they are antagonistic and
careless, and have less sympathy for
one another than is to be found in any
other walk of life.
The foreman is the great mogul of
the docks, before whom all bow. and
as soon as his work Is through he
hastens away from his unsavory sur
roundings to a neat cottage in the
suburbs, OF secluded but respectable
back street. The question never agi-
tates him. or those beneath him, as
they go about their Individual duties
"Am my brothers keeperP"
But the universal dislocation of the
social life of East London manifests
itself in the docks, not only by the alb
sence Of all ties between employer
foreman and mon, but in the complete
severance of the different grades OF
labor and among the moro respectable
of the working class, in the isolation
of the individual family. The per
manent'' man of the docks ranks in
the social scale below the skilled me-
chanic or artisan. With wage usual
ly from twenty to twenty-five shillings
n week and an average family, he ex-
lists above the line of poverty though

CHINESE BABIES.
Children of tho Antipodos as Soon from
Dicycle,

| Children of tho AntipOdos rs Soon from a
Bicycle.
One day when travelling through
China on my bicycle tour around tho
world, l came upon very novel and
interesting sight 1t is the first thing
of the kind ever saw or heard about
My overland journey led me through
many oul-of-the-way districts where
the people are primitive and curious
in many respects. In one of these OBJ
scure communities in the foot hills of
the Mac Ling mountains saw about
twenty Chinese infants tethered TO
stakes on patch of green sward. like
so many goats or pet lambs. The
length of each baby's tether was about
ten feet and tho bamboo stakes were
set far enough apart so that the babies
wouldn't get all tangled up. Each
baby had sort of girdle or KaninIer-
Jund around its waist and the end of
the tcther-string was tied to the back
of this. Some OF the little Celestials
were crawling about on all-fours;
others were taking their first
lessons in the feat of standing
upright by steadying themselves
against the stake they were tied to.
What queer little Chinese mortals they
all looked, TO be sure, pickcted out on
the grassland like lot ofyoung calves
whose mothers were away for the dayI
In this respect they did. indeed. re-
semble young calves for could SEQ
their mothers at work in rice-feld a
hundred yards away. All the babies
seemed quite contcnted with their
treatment stood and looked at them
for several minutes, from pur1 amuse-
ment at their unique position; but
although they regarded mo with wide
eyed curiosity l never heard whim-
per from any of them. Nobody was
paying the slightest attention to them,
and from appearances should con-
clude that they were most likely picket
ed out'in this manner every day while
their mothers worked in the neighbor-
ing fields. Very probably these Chinese
babies soon come to regard their d daily
outing at the stake with the same de-
gree of satisfaction that very Young
America derives from his perambula-
tor ride on sunny afternoons in the
park. Thomas Stephens. in Babyhood

There is ference Of opinion
among poulterers rs to tho advis-
ability of the new Massachusetts law
passed in March last. allowing dealers
to sell poultry with heads on and un-
drawn, provided there is no food in
the crop. Few buyers know Of tho
new enactment, and complain accord
ingly. Previous to that time the law
required headless and drawn birds.
The present law is considered very
silly one among somo dealers One
thing to bring about the present law
was the methods employed by the
huckster element, who bought their
birds alive and stuffed their crops. so
the birds weigh heavy. The fine for
violation Of the law is five dollars a
bird, consequently attempts to get
around the act are rare. ---BostoS
