THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
MIR. WANAMAKER keeps pounding
away at his postal telegraph scheme.
Because congress refused to entertain
1T he has taken occasion since the adj
Journment of that body to give pub
licity to the correspondence on that sub
Ject between himself and the house
committee on poStoffices. He outlines
in this correspondence the details of
his postal telegraph scheme more clear
ly than had been done in his recon-
mendation On that subject in his last
annual report. And after looking into
it carefully we are not sure but that 1t
is good thing to adopt. Of course
there is the objection to it that applies
III all cases where it is proposed to con-
vert the government into business
corporation. But the objection applies
less strongly to this postal telegraph
scheme than to the numberless other
propositions intended to bring the bust
ness of the country under government
control. 1t seems to be natural sup
plement to the postal service. Whether
it could be made profitable, or even
self-supporting, is hardly a question to
be considered in connection with the
more important one of whether it will
be really serviceable. From Mr.. WAN
AMAKER's showing of the cost of opera
ton and the profits derived by the
Western Union, there is scarcely a
doubt but that the government could
make it profitable branch of the postal
service.
The desirablity of the plan is the nam
point to be considered, and in this par
ticular we are disposed to agree with
the postmaster general. In the prog
resS of our commercial development
time becomes an important factor. For
that reason the mails are not Servicable
as formerly, when the business methods
OF tine country were slower than at the
present day. AS result, the telegraph
is used more extensively than the mails
by the business community. 1t takes
letter fifty hours to pass from st. Paul
to New York, and the same time to get
a reply. Four days make large gap
in these days of sharp competltion-too
long for the welfare OF the average bust
ness. Consequently, most business COM
munications pass over the wires, instead
of through the mail-bags.
But this entails heavy additional
expense on the business of the country.
Telegraph bills cut quite figure in the
expenses of every business house. Mr..
WANAMAKER's idea in associating a
telegraph service with the postal serv-
ice is to reduce this expense to the min
imum and still accommodate the bust
ness public. He says that the profits of
the Western Union in the last twenty
five years aggregate S100,000.0O0. If the
government had owned postal tele-
graph, the greater part of this immense
sum would have been saved to the bust
ness of the country. His argument is
sound on that point. 1t would have
been juat as well for the business men
of the country to have kept that $780,
100000 in their pockets as to have let
JAY GOULD have it. and then to have
the old plutocrat yell back to them,

The Washington advices of the Chi

averment of writers at the capital city
that the Republican congressional and
national committees furnish lively con-
trasts to the Democratic committees in
the possession OF means for doing cam
paign work. The Republicans have no
lack of money, and are putting it where
they think it will do the most good. The
first installment to MCKINLEY's dis
trict is stated at $4,000. No explana-

THE efforts of the Emperor William to
pose as the great cham pion of the labor
ing classes of the German Empire and
of Europe do not seem to have been at.
tended with much success, if we accept
the result of the late German elections as
a criterion. While the young monarch
evoked an enthusiastic letter of apprecia-
ton from Cardinal Manning for his plan
of general labor conferences, the laborer
himself appears to have been unmoved.
If the Kaiser were to issue manifesto
in which he renounced the Fright divine
of Kings" and showed some sympathy
with modern thought, at the same time
curtailing portion of his enormous civil
list, and surrendering to the public
domain the greater portion of the crown
lands, he would doubtless make an i'm
preston on the classes he aimed to
placate by his proposed conference.
These last elections make plain the fact
that a new era for Germany opened with
the death of the aged grandfather of the
present Emperor-an era in which ab-
solutism will encounter difficulties iss
advocates have not dreamed of.
