NO POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
The Project Opposed by an Ex-rostmaster
General,

General.
There are two arguments that the advo-
Gates of a postal telegram system under
government control advance with great
persistency, says Frank Hatton in the
New York journal. First, that the private
corporations engaged In the telegraph
business are making enormous profits.
Second, that tho government should en-
gage as. "a competitor i'm a business that
its own citizens have, for many years,
been building up and perfecting for the
reason that the business is OF IA twin char
acter with the postal service.
These arguments are as weak as they
are dangerous. The danger lies in the
long stride toward p~aternalism. The
same arguments could bc advanced with
equal force in favor of government con-
troll Of the telephone business, which is a
means of communication that is con-
stantly increasing. The same argument
would hold good for government control
OF the book and newspaper publishing
business. The people are largely inter
ested in the dissemination Of cheap liter
AZURE.
The idea of an experimental postal
telegraph service" is an absurdity. III
the advocates of p~aternalism and govern
ment control are TO have their way there

The Illinois Association.

EDITORS HERALD-The Times of today
contains several erroneous statements
that reflect unjustly upon the Illinois
Association, and on myself personally.
OF course you will allow little space
for correction. All attempts to make it
appear that the Illinois Association is in
any sense dramatic club" or that it
is running 'theater," are without
foundation in fact. The association is
simply social, literary, musical and be-
nevolent organization-as we are pre-
pared to prove to the satisfaction of any
court. 1t never was anything else.
There is not a particle of scenery con-
nected with the stage in Illinois hall,
and the idea of theater with no stage
scenery of any description is perfectly
absurd. The association has never given
more than one evening of dramatic en-
tertainment, and that was exclusively
by amateurs, and for the benefit of a
resident lady elocutionist.
Second. The association does not
seek to drag the nationalists into
this contest; and on this point
desire to say that the only
reason the fifth club took action in the
naCCer was LnaC III Jne lllllOlS hSsOCld-
ton should be broken up, (as it would be
by the enforcement of 500 night Ii
eense ordinance on 10-cent entertain
mentsl, all further meetings at Illinois
hall, under the present lease, would
have to be shut out.
Third. We are not seeking to evade
the law, or avoid the payment of any
just and legal claim; but our association
is asked to pay theater license fee that
means nothing less than the annihila-
ton of the society. We are about to
test the legality of the demand in court.
A competent judge will decide the ques-
ton, and we will then act accordingly.
The Times ironically mentions the adj
mission fee charged at our socials in con-
nection with. our statement that the
public received "the benefit OF such
gatherings"
The fee is only ten cents, to cover ex-
penses. 1t is collected at the door, in.
stead OF resorting to the voluntary con.
tribution plan, as was formerly done

sociation, and no one connected with

the management of it wants anything

me that there is scarcely word of truth
in the alleged interview with him, as it
appeared in the Times.

A Card From DIR. PEBBLES.
EDITORS HERALD The statement
in the Times of Monday as
regards Mr.. Hoyt having attempted
to influence the First Nationalist Club 20
meet in Illinois hall is without founda-
ton. Mr.. Hoyt was one of the first
members of this club, and is considered
a charter member. When the present
lessees of Illinois hall took possession of
the building, there was a proposition
made for the use of their hall, which
was acted upon by the executive COM
mittee entirely as business PROPOSE
ton, nor was Mr.. Hoyt named or per-
sonally considered in the transaction,
and in the conversation referred to by
your reporter Mr.. Hoyt's name was not
mentioned at all.
