stock Of the Western Union Company has
been beautifully diluted With pure cold
water furnished from the GOULD fountain.
DR.. GREEN grsyely Informs the world that
such stories are false, set afiost by bad, bad
men for their own bad purposes. He fur
ther says that JAY GOULD only owns $20,-
600, 900 of the $sOsOOO, 600 stock and does
not control the entire system. The public
will s~ympethize with Mr.. GOULD in his
poverty. He is a much maligned person.
age. But then Mr. GREEN neglects to re-
fer to the important fact that the associates
and fellow .cOnspirltOrs of Mr.. GOULD in
securing control of the telegraphics system
Of the country own about tTo-thirds Of the
remaining stock.
DR.. GREEN suddenly ceases to be an en-
lightener, when the discussion turns to the
Western Union wires along the Pacific nail
way lines. By the terms of their agree
ment with the Government, the Pacific
roads were to build and maintain adequate
telegraphic facilities. Instead of fulfill
ing their contract, they have granted mo
nopOlistic privileges to the Western Union
Company. Competing telegraphs are
shut out from these roads, and their only
way of reaching the extreme West, is by
way Of the Canadian Pacific.
How these exclusive privileges were OBJ.
tanned, and how their existence is recon
eiled with the law, are questions on which
the Western Unions representative fails to
throw any light.
This is the real point. A law that would
strike the Western Union in this great
stronghold would mean something, and
that is why it's representatives who were 30
m~agnapimOus and Obliging in explaining
irrelevant matters shut up tighter than a
scared ~bivalye, when the question is men
toned. The Anderson bill, compelling
the Pacific roads to fulfill their contract,
should become 4 law. IL is uubearable
that companies existing by government
bounty should combine with q great tele-
graph monopoly, to tax the messages sent
over its wires.

WattersOn on Halstead.

1t is worse than a waste of words to n
dy them with q critic so blind to his own
commission of the sins he ascnbes to Others
as Mr.. Halstead. 1t is he, an not those
he assails so savagely, who is nothing if
not sectional. His papers in the Forum,
of which notice is here taken, are grotes-
queiy so, although characteristic o fall his
utterances in this line of political vsticina-
ton. But, rs germane thereto, / will, in
closing, venture upon the prediction that
the time is coming when Mr.. Halstead
will he found fighting as doughtily for
the Acknowledgement of the blacks as he is
now fighting for what he calls "a fair
vote" If the Republican party is beaten
in the next national election, it is likely
to 90 to pieces, and be reformed on the
lines of Protection and Prohibition. This
will, as the saying goes, split the South
wide open" The blacks will be arTayed
Ia = man against Prohibition. The whites
will be divided by Protection. Then We
shall see such a party struggle for posses
sion of the Southern States as WAS new
er known before; and Mr.. Ialstead,
being a good Republican, will find the ne
gro vote as little to his liking as its sup
