Postal Telegraphy.

The following concerning postal telegraphy is taken from the Los Angeles Times: Edward Rosewater, proprietor of the Omaha Bee, who testified before Congressional com
 mittee last winter on postal tele-
 graph business. is in Paris pursuing
 inquiries on the subject. In an in teryiew he states that he Is more
 than ever confirmed in the opinion
 that the effect of government con trol was to produce superior tele-
 graphic service. He said that Lon don employed not less than 5000 persons in the telegraphic service, whereas in New York there were only i,200. The object of the Eng fish government was not to make
 revenue, but to give the public the
 best service at the cheapest possible rates. In every place where there
 were l.5O0 persons, there was a pos
 tai teiegraphie service, whereas in the United States towns with sey-
 eral thousand inhabitants had noth-
 ing but the railroad telegraph ser
 vice.
 The reason was that the govern
 ment had already postotfices every where aud it cost them very little extra to arrange for telegraphic ser vice. With a private company mat ters were entirely different. The
 company would have to hire prem
 ises and only put in telegraphic ser vice where it had good prospect of
 the office paying expenses. Thus, in England branch offices were in- finitelv more numerous than in the United States.
 On phase of the question that has been considered the most seri- | ous obstacle to the adoption of Gov ernment control in the United l States. MT. Rosewater says:
 The political question has been held up in America as the great ob- lection to postal telegraphy. II is said that it would increase the pat ronaSe of the Government and be come too large political machine
 made special inquiry on this point The managers and operators l met were very much surprised at the idea of an interference with theil political opinions. At one of the largest cities in Finland an operator said to me: 'I am Radical and an voting against the government every ! time. If the postmaster or any other official should attempt to in. l terfere with me in politics should , have the question brought up by :
 Radical member of Parliament. lr ! this office there are 300 persons em
 ployed. and all are divided. There ! are Liberals, Conservatives and Radl' calls. We are not allowed to take prominent part in political gather ings, but that is all the interference ] there Is.
 Moreover, a telegraph operator requires mechanical skill. Ii would
 be impossible for any party in power
 to supplant men on account ot then political principles. That idea i' i all nonsense. Here in France there has never been any question as t' 1 the political views of the men. 1h' postal telegraph is practical thins l for public use, and the Government l can manage it better than any other ! body.

 The sudden death of J. H. Marion recalls to mind the singular coinei- dence that within the last seven years three editors have died in Prescott so suddenly, that not a single one of them probably realized what death was. :. N. Holmes, ed itor of the Miner, lost his life in the Sherman house fire, being suffocated into instantaneous uneonsciousness by the flames and smoke of a burn ing room which he had entered. c. W. Bach, a former editor of the Miner, was shot and instantly killed by an assassin, while sitting in his room, uncon- scious or unsuspicious of any dan danger, and now comes the third, J. H. Marion, editor of the Courier, who drops dead, from heart disease, on the threshold of his residence, without any previous warning, death in each case being instantaneous
