The lobby is so universally recog-
nized as an evil, and yet politicians
seem so commonly to agree that il
is necessary one, that any efforts
for its regulation must command the
interest of all patriotic Americans.
The recent experiments in this direc-
ton in Massachusetts are described
in the November Forum by Josiah
Quincy, the Democratic leader of the
lower house of the Legislature in
that State, who had large share in
preparing the act in question.
Though the principles on which the
law is based are quite novel in
American legislation, and though it
met with violent opposition, it has
-been amply justified by its results,
in Mr.. Quincy's opinion; and We may
doubtless expect similar acts to be
in other States before many years
have gone by. Among other reforms,
it has completely done away with
the leyying of blackmaH on corpora
lions by professional lobbyists.

INC Farmer,s AlIiance.

The star of the Farmers Alliance
appears to be already upon the wane.
The present meeting at indianapolis
presents such striking contrast to
the one held last year, as to cause
the inquiring whether something is
not amiss in the management of the
party. Last year all was union now /;
dissention reigns supreme in their
ranks. The results of the late cleo
tons are hardly calculated to inspire
the farmers with any great amount
of confidence in their power as a po-
litical factor. In no instance was
their strength manifested in the de-
gree they so confidently expected.
The primary objects of the organiza-
ton appear to have been lost sight of
and the movement has degenerated
into political squabble. The posi-
ton of the farmer at the present
day is indeed a deplorable one, and
any measure to keep him out of his
numerous difficulties would be more
than welcome; but it would seem
that the Farmers Alliance under its
present management at least is hard
" the means to achieve the deserved
end.

Everybody should rejoice that the

the people can once more turn their
attention TO business and othe pur-

aud of course under our form of
government we must make the best
of it but we are always glad when
the smoke of a political buttle has

FIRST TELEGRAMS.
Three Important Occasions at the
Time of Morse's Experiments.

Three Important Occasions at the
Time of Morse's Experiments.
New York Sun.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany is searching for the first telegram
that ever went over a wire. 1t is be-
lieved that Maj. Stephen Johnson. of
Piqua, has it, but he has not been able
to find it among his papers.
In 1914, when Morse was experiment.
ing in Washington with wire that eX-
tended TO Annapolis, he was visite1 by
Maj. Johnston. who was among the
delegates arriving In town on their way
to the Wing convention in Baltimore
The experiments were incomplete, and
in the course of the explanation Morse
said that he had sent to Annapolis a
friend who would try to send a mes
sage, and asked johnson to wait. Soon
the recorder began TO tick.
Morse read the message. in the char
acterS that he had arranged, and gave
the slip to Johnston, who, considering
it the first complete sentence ever sent
by, telegraph. carefully preserved it.
The message expressed the pleasure of
the sender in reaching the inventor by
wire.
In the most trustworthy descriptions
l
is related that among the earliest mes
sages. while the line was in its expert
mental state. was one from Baltimore
on May l, 1914, announcing the comma
ton of Henry Clay to the presidency by
the Wing convention. On May Ii Morse
sent 10 his assistant, Albert Vail, in
baltimore, Everything working we'll, !"
and that became historical.
7 fEhe most impressive of the first mes
sNgeS was that sent at the public exhibit
ton in the chamber of the United
tates supreme court in the capitol May
"a, 1914, to which Morse bad invited his
friends. Miss Annie q. Ellsworth, a
daughter Of the commissioner of pen
siOns, who had announced to Morse
the passage of the bill granting the
appropriation to build the line, selected
this message from Numbers kill, %:
What Hath God Wrought!" 1t was
received by Vail in Baltimore and sent
back. The strip of paper on which the
Morse characters were printed was
claimed by Coy. Seymour. of Connect
cut. because Miss Ellsworth was a ma
tive of Hartford. ana it is now in the
archives OF the Hartford Antiien9um.
