PETTY DESPOTISM.
The Western Union Telegraph Company as
Power of OnnreSSion.

The Western Union Telegraph Company as
aPower of Oppression.
How little do our people know about
their relation to the Western Union
telegraph company. We absolutely
read at our breakfast tables in the daily
press just about what that company
chooses to have us know. 1t is repub-
lican, capitalistic, monopolistic. Labor
reform, temperance reform, the woman
movement, can by no means get hear
ing along its wires. 1t is loath to send
out the date and place of meeting of a
national association of any one of these
workers. | am told that Alonzo b.
Cornell, republican ex-governor and
politician of New York state, is the
business manager. There can be no
question but the Western Union has it's
black list of persons and societies. 1t
will on no account report the vote of
the prohibition party. 1t likewise with
holds the news of the Knights of Labor
and other industrial organizations.
There is something bewildering about
this domination of a monopoly over the
very sources of information of a great
people, but it is, perhaps, most of all
astounding that the people will put up
with it from year to year. In Germany
the telegraphs and telephones belong
to the government There would be a
civil war if the attempt were made to
put them into the hands of private indi-
viduals. The plan works admirably,
and would in any and every country.
Happily, nearly all the later political
movements place planks in their plat
forms to the effect that all means of
general public locomotion aud commun-
ication shall be operated by the gov
ernment. Let the prohibition party
give no uncertain sound on this great
reform. Free speech is impossible in a
country where Jay Gould and his min
ions decide what shall go to the press
and what shall not Even the news
they do send they can water" as they
do their stock. But every evil tends to
its own cure. The fact that Jay Gou
controls all the trans-continental rail.
roads is the most hopeful fact in con-
nection with the ownership of these
roads by the government, and the more
he suppresses the news along the teIe-
graph wires of the Western Union, the
more he is preparing to have those
wires turned into thunderbolts of mod
ern Jove, whose name is Public Opin-
ion. May they soon, metaphorically
speaking, concentrate on his own
