AS 1T GOES.

On another page will be found the
story of a man who was muchly married.
He had a wife and six children-and he
left them and married a woman at Green's
boro and thus became what the books
call a bigamist.
On the way to answer to the charge,
with hand cuffs on his wrist the fellow
leaps from a moving train and is badly
hurt-yet still at large. We print this
much of the story based on a special tel
egram received at THE GLOBE office this
morning.
The moral, however, is plain. A
woman who will marry a man without
knowing something of his past-knowing
whether he is a gentleman or a villain
should meet the fate of Mrs. WYLDE
number two.
A man may not be ali that one would
wish him to be-and yet he may not

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

1t is by no means improbable that the
incoming congress will regard favorably
the proposal to establish a limited postal
telegraph system. 1t will be remembered
that in the senate of the last congress a
unanimous report was made in favor of
the system, which was not acted on by
the senate, however, owing to the pres
sure of other business. In the house the
subject was smothered in committee,
under circumstances which very strongly
suggested that the influence of the tele-
graph monopoly had been effectually
used. At one time, at least, a majority
of the house committee having charge
OF the matter was ready to make a ia
Vorable report, but the chairman was
successful in holding it back and in
finally ~smothering it. There are some
reasons why it may be expected that the
fltty-second congress will treat the mat
ter in a more friendly way.
AT any rate the acknowledgement
Will renew his recommendation, sus.
tanned by additional arguments and facts
derived from the successful operation of
the postal telegraph systems abroad.
There is really very slight ground for
objection to the postal telegraph plan
proposed by MR.. WANAMAKER. 1t is
not intended to involve the government
in any financial outlay or to increase the
number of employees. The proposition
simply is to contract with any company
which will do the business at the lowest
rates, the government to regulate the
charges to the people. The contracting
telegraph company would furnish all the
and supply the operating force,
messages at rates fixed by
the government. The company would
turn over to the post0ffice department
two cent for each message to cover the
cost of collecting and distributing. On
to this project comes almost
wholly from those who desire that the
telegraph service shall continue a monop-
oily, though there are some who are hos
tile to it on the ground that it is not the
of the government to engage in
an enterprise of this nature. This sort
reasoning, however, has lost much of
It's force, for it is obvious that if the
people are ever to have cheaper and
better telegraph service it must come
.hrougn such a system as the postmaster
