GOVERNMENT TELEGRAMS.
The New Rates Retroactive and VIII
Apply to All Bills Since July 1.

First Controller Matthews has decided that
the new schedule of telegraph rates for gov
ernment messages, recently promulgated by
the Postmaster General, shall be retroactive,
and shall be of the same effect as having been is
sued July1. This decision was called forth by the
presen tation by the United lines company Of
their bill for services rendered during the four
months that have elapsed since the expiration
of the old schedule. When the trouble began
between the government and the companies in
regard to the rates the latter decided not to
present bills for services until some settlement
was reached and there has been an accumu-
lation of accounts for over four months.
BILL OF THE UNITED LINES COMPANY.
The United lines company was the first one
to present bill The decision of the control
Ter follows the same lines as those of similar
decision made by Judge Lawrence and is based
on the assumption that the contract of the COM
panies to do government service IL everlasting
and that new rates have to be made each year.
The only recourse to be had by the companies
is to the Court OF Claims in q suit against the
government for the difference between the new
rates and the old during the four months be-
tween schedules. The new rate is about one
half as high as the old, so that the bills of the
companies, If based on the old rates, will be
scaled one-half Appeal may, Of course, be
made to Congress for amendatory legislation or
for bill Of relief.

A New White House.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
1t is said that Mrs. President Harrison's re.
cent sickness was due to the condition of the
White House, the sanitary arrangements Of
which are reported to be in bad order.
This has revived the talk about the buildipe
OF new house for the President, and almost
without exception the proposition has received
the hearty Endorsement Of all Of the newspa-
pers OF importance which have spoken of the
matter.
The White House was built in 1892, and wal
rebuilt in 1918, practically as it stands to-day
after having been burned by the British IL
1914. 1t was built for the chief executive of {
nation numbering less than 1000, 900 people
which, in less than century, has increased te
over GO, 100000.
1t is not in keeping with the other great and
substantial buildings of the government, and
aside from architectural considerations, it does
not appear to be, to say the least of it. q
healthy resort for those who have to live in it
The house is pinched and its accommoda
tions are inadequate. Its construction is of ole
design, which Is not so bad as its decaying ma
terial. 1t is said that Arthurs last illness wa,
brought on by its impure atmosphere.
Let us have q new White House, and as the
residence for centuries to come Of our presi.
dents, let it be q building of such magnificent
apportionment that it win be structure of ma
tional pride.

Gagging the Press in Germany.

Harold Frederick's London Letter
Germany is agitated just now by the most
serious domestic dispute which has stirred its
politics in years. The new emperor hates
newspapers-it must be admitted, not al
together without reason--and the obedient
bundesrath has formulated a new penal code
for journalists which staggers even the Cologne
Gazette. When this organ speaks of the pro-
posed legislation as putting frightful weapon
into the hands OF the government for suppress
sing freedom of speech and silencing opposi.
ton" you may understand that the bill must
be pretty bad. 1t is, indeed, the worst measure
that has been aimed against the liberty of the
press in our generation, and there is deem
feeling as to its fate when the bundesrath next
month sends it down to the reichstag. There
will be fierce debate, and it is expected that
a considerable number of national liberals will
part company with Bismarck on this issue.
