The Western Union Telegraph COM
ANY seeks to remove the suit Of the
tRtc against It from the Dsuphin court
~ that Of the United states. The suit Is
a. qsso wuvunfo proceeding under the
f&et II 1883, that was once passed to en-
31brce the provision of the constitution,
(which the Western Union and Balti-
Z more 4 Ohio companies violated i'm COM
Mining. The law declares that the pun
hhment of the wrong shall Ike the for
elture Of the property and franchises of
Che offending companies. Under this
Mutation, there seems to be little oppor-
tuntty for claiming that the jurisdiction
suf the suit is i'm the United States, and
moi In the state. The courts of the state
are the ones to adjudicate In the first

We do not know why the telegraph
I company desires to remove the suit, un-
Y hess 1t may be for purposes of delay !;
& which is the only thing it is possible for
II to win in the case, the fact of its un-
lawful purchase Of its rival being too
4 clear for fair denial.

putation which the Dauphin court has
established Fl an honest, intelligent and

most important court in the state, having
original jurisdiction of the suits between

was long presided over by Judge Pearson,
the integrity Of whose dec 81 ms was
never questioned. Its reputation Is
abundantly sustained by Judges Simon
ton and Mcpherson, whose judgments
IRE conspicuously independent and fair.
The telegraph company had no reason TO
hope that It's brazen defiance of the law
will find favor in the Pennsylvania
court.

King QnaY,s Nay.

M Philadelphia wants an appropriation

smand of the city, since harbor improve
I ment is the work of the general govern.
nlent and any special cost, in the way
OF land purchase, falls properly on those
\ who are particularly Interested being
IN this case the people of Philadelphia
and Camden. But the Sao0,00o asked
rom the state Is not a very great sum and
we OF the country are not disposed to
stenuotlsly object 10 it, if il will secure
us peace with our city brethren.
But now new complication has
arisen. The Pennsylvania railroad com
paiy has monopoly of the railroad
service upon portion of the river front /;
and the commercial exchanges want n

improvement, which shall he free for
