During the quarter ending De.
cember 81, 1889, the Mackey line Of

the year the gross earnings footed up
a total Of $l,7S9,3S7, which left over
IL per cent. COR the stock. The net

has cost abou, $16,OOO,OOO.
The Postal Telegraph is a part OF
the Mackey cable system. ana owned
and operated principally by John w.
Mackey. r. V. DEFY, a former resi-
dent Of Virginia City, New, is Sec
rotary and Director aud the Acting
Manager Of the whole system. I'm
der his management the lines are be.
ing rapidly extended in all directions.
About the middle OF January last
passed line had been thrown as far
south as Birmingham, Ala, on the
way to New Orleans and Mexico.
From that main line wires will be
strung to Atlanta and Savannah, Ga,
and all the commercial aud manufac.
turing centers of the South, while
line Of wires will also be thrown
across the continent, and probably
along the line of the Southern Pacific
Railway.
At the same date an office was
opened in Lawrence, Kas., the Postal

Emporia, on the way to Denver aud

thrown along the Oregon Short Line
Railway, while the construction of
the main line is completed to Ogden
and Salt Lake City. These lines will
probably all he completed before
next winter, while new wire will b,
that time doubtless be stretched
along the line Of the new Sioux Cit,
and Ogden Short Line Railway, as
the Mackey system owns the exclu
sive right to operate telegraph
along that line. All this work will
require an expenditure Of *3,500,000
this year, and of as much more next
year.
BY next spring the Mackey system
will doubtless own three or four trans
continental lines, with branches to
all the commercial centers. and be in
a position to compete with the West
ern Union on equal terms, and al.
most superior facilities. Then will
come a crash in telegraph rates, and
it may be cheaper to send telegraph
dispatches than to write letters.
A profit of 20 per cent. has been
offered for the system and refused,
Mr.. Mackey being reported as saying
that, while not entirely Indifferent TO
financial profit, this was the great
work of his life and the control was
not aud would not be for sale until
the system had been developed to its
fullest extent, both in the line of low
rates and ampl-st convenience to the
public.

Newspaper Critics.

Newspapers are often criticised for
what they print, but If it were known
how much credit they merit for what
they don't print, or for the nonsense
they whack out of what they do print,
they would command a much more
generous judgment.

Political

The elections Tuesday in Chicago and Milwau
kee seem to show that the democratic drift indi-
Gated by the State elections last fall, and by the
town elections of New York and other States
since January, still continues. In Chicago the
democrats carried the day by ms orty of H. oo
Tho City Council which is at present repu blican,
was brought under democratic control. Wards
considered republican strongholds were cqptured
with the rest. The Mayoralty being already in
democratic hands, Chicago's government will now
for some time to come be democratic throughout.
In Milwaukee, a fortress of republicanism, like
result WAS achieved The Mayorality was cap
tured by democrat with majority of 5000.
Republicans in Milwaukee and throughout Wis
consn ara paralyzed at the sweeping victory OF
the democrats in the metropolis of the State. The
result is laid to the bitter fight made by the Cath
Ollie priests and Lutheran minstors against the
Bennett compulsory education law requiring the
English language to be taught in all schools. The
situation is ono of great moment to the republic
can party in Wisconsin. and the leaders predict
defeat next November If the fight is to be on the
same line as that of Tuesday.
The snt-prohibition movement in the repub-
lican party in Iowa eliminated yesterday in a
convention at Des Moines, which declared the
prohibition law unenforcesble aud demanded 8
high license law.

sALEM-A RISING VIRGINIA TowN,-We take
pleasure in calling attention. to the advertisement
of the Salem Improvement Company appearing in
another column.
Salem, Roanoke county, is Justly termed the
"Q1een City, of the southwest. Some careful OBJ
serving Swiss traveller declared on first viewing
Salem and hor surroundings, many years ago, that
in grandeur and picturesqueDess, Switzerland did
not surpass them Beside Salems natural beauty
and healthfulness its surrounding mountains are
literal storehouses of mineral wealth. AS strange
as it may appear the importance of Salem's admi-
rable location for commercial and industrial
center, was not fully realized till last year when
g number of her leading citizens and prominent
men from other States organized comp my for the
purpose of opening up her grand possibilities, and
calling the attention of the country to her advan
tages
The plan adopted by this body OF men compris-
ing tho Improvement Company, in placing their
most eligible property on the market has been
commended by a who have examined into the
matter.
The property advertised comprises some OF the
m ost commanding residence lots yet offered, and
present indications are that they will be sought
after with even more eagerness than were even
the first ones. ] he sale Of these were something
unprecedented. The sale opens at noon, April
18th. No lots will BIO sold to any one before that
date.

ALL TALK about the retrocession of Alex

that Virginia will not surrender any more
of it to the federal government. That which
composes the State of West Virginia was sill

DIR. PHILIP A. WHITE, the negro repre-

trouble he has in obtaining equal rights in
the schools for negro children. He says
when he was frat appointed member OF
the board by Mr.. Low, the democratic
mayor, "there were only three schools in the
city open to negro children" And yet,
among all those who falsely accuse the
South of denying the privilege of education
to the negroes, none is more vehement than
