VIM. NJ. oarsey. Of Now York, chairman of
theexecutiyc committee Of the Anti-Monopo-
ly league, in opposition 10 the limited postal
telegraph bill prepared by the postmaster
general. Carsey opposed the bill because il
contemplated giving ont the business of the
government TO private corporations. Tho
clerks in the post Offices had already enough
work TO do. The telegraph was mostly used
by spectators and gamblers Working
people did not use the telegraph TO any
grent extent, and consequently they would
get but little benefit out of the postal tele-
graph scheme. ii the rates of telegraph
were reduced, the wages of telegraph opera
tors would be reduced. The postofiic de
partment did not manage the business now
half satisfactorily, and this was a strong
argument against assuming additional bur
dens.
