Postal Telesraphy Before the Post
Office Committee.

Before the House post Office committee
today, DR.. Norvin Green. president of the
Western Union Tele graph Company, in
his argument against the adoption of pos
tai Telegraph system, said that in compar-
ing this country with Great Britain. that in
this country there we're more telegraph
offices than post Offices; that in the older
part of this country it was so per cent
greater, and yet Great Britain owned both
telegraph and post ofiices.
Did that look as if the Western Union
was not keeping abreast Of the timesS
In North Carolina the Western Union
had telegraph offices that did not pay 25
cents day in gross receipts At the 447
places named in the post master generals
plan as telegraph offices the government,
owned but l04 post office buildings.
II was becoming grave question a. to
whether it now profted the Western Union
to continue its contracts with the railroad
companies. whose business was increasing
so that it was doubtful il the telegraph
com panies which handled their business
free did not lose by the agreements.
The chairman asked hov much of theil
business the Western Union did ip the free
delivery cities. DR.. Green replied that aboul
80 per cent would cover it. The chairman
said that it WAS proposed to pay the opera
tors out of the 2 cent charge for the postage
stamp. He would like to know what the
! operating cost was. DR.. Green replied tbs
a close estimate was cents per message
| in cases Of long distance it ran up to
cents. The average compensation of frs
class operators vas 475 per month.

course it could be carried out, but the bust

why, if the bill was inyracticable. DR.

ing. That some should 20 out from the

vice calls for soieitude and causes the
trustees TO inquire il there 10 not some
method BY which they can b reached.
The trustees believe that BY separating the
boys into families and making tvo or three
omcers rs sponsible for the discipline .ipstruc-
ton and training Of each family, instead Of Q
divided responsibility. ~ 10 the case in the
congregste system. would do much to &C.
complish the denied results.
Upon the recommendation Of the srustees
the last legislature appropriated ei0, 900
to establish one family school. In the
month of April . committee Of the board
and Superintendent FArrington visited New
Jersey and Connecticut Shse reform
schools for the purpose Of learning some
thing Of the workings of the family sys-
tenn and of the construction Of buildinss
for that system. A. the result Of their
visit il vas voted to erect new building at .
cost not exceeding 8. .656, SO. Contracts
we're made upon this basis, and the
work 10 now nearly completed. No appro-
priation vas made for furnishing the build

may be devised for furnishing. % that the
new system may begin in the spring Of
1880. When this 10 accomplished there 10
reason to believe that the Maine State Re-
form School will take high rank among
similar institutions.
The aim Of the trustees has been the re.
formation Of the youth. and not the gradu-
alton OF young criminals. Believing that
right training is the strong safeguard against
wrong doing, they have constantly had in
view the moral, intellectual and physical
training Of the unfortunate lads committed
to their charge.
The trustees are grati6ed to state that in
all their efforts for the reformation Of these
lads hey havs had the earnest and faithful
cooperation Of Mr.. and Mrs. Farrington,

in great measure to the means Of the In
