General Clarksen's Opinion.

James w. Clarkson, assistant Post
master General during Harrison's ad-
ministration, says: "The idea Of pri-
vate ownership Of telegraph is as ab,
surd as a private mail service" and
asserts that under postal telegraph
10 cents for ten words to any part OF
the country, and cents for five words
within 5OO-mile limit, would yield
handsome profit.
"The telegraph people," adds Mr.:
ClarksOn, "dread postal service, and
that is why every one in Washington
is going home with pocketful of tel,
egraph franks. All these things will
come some day, and when they come
people will wonder how they ever got

Topeka Advocate.
The market columns of the Kansas
City World, September 6, contained
the following:
w. w. COwan, local manager of LO-
gan & Co.'S commission house, received
today the following query by wire
from Wall street broker:
"At what price for corn will farmers
stop buying coal and selling corn, to
induce them to burn corn? What do
you think of it?"
The Burlington Courier, comment
ing upon the dispatch, says:
The Wall street brokers' inquiry is
significant. 1t means that farmers
may expect to receive price just suf-
ficient to keep them from burning
their corn rather than to sell it.
And it means the farmers themselves
have nothing whatever to say about
the price they are to receive for their
products, that being fixed by gang
