TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE.
Can't Last Long, According to the Rail-
road Officials.

MONTREAL, Que, Oct, 4.-The Cana
dian Pacific telegraphers strike cannot
last much longer, according to the offic-
4als of the road They claim that on
three divisions, the Quebec and Ontario
and from the 500 to Sudberry, every
thing is working in first-class shape and
on other divisions matters are approach
ing a normal condition. Freight is now
being moved in good shape.
Squads of special constables have gone
north from this city and Toronto to the
North Bay and Sudberry districts, where
trouble has always seemed to crop up
when strike is in progress. The people
strongly sympathize with the strikers
sAnd they even go so far as to abuse the
new operators. Some of them have
practically been driven from their posts
and it is to protect them that the police
have been sent out.
A special dispatch from Cartier stated
that fight was expected at Warren,
and a special train was sent there with
police.

England real and effective postal serv-
ice. Louis XII of France founded a postal
system in 1484, which was greatly inn
proved by Charles TX in 1865.
But It was not alone the Christian
nations that felt the need Of postal
service. When the Spaniards invaded
South America, they found regular
system of posts in operation, so that the
news of their landing was carried to the
inca with incredible swiftness, the post
men being runners, who carried around
their waists knotted cords, code of sig
nails or sign writing
Coming down to our own country,
suppose we take peep at the mail
methods in vogue in its earlier days.
Let us take as type the postal service
between Boston and New York, where,
in 1899, post was established "to goe
monthly" Post riders, starting at the
same hour from each end Of the route,
carried the mails. Leaving on Monday
morning, they met and exchanged bags
Mt Saybrook, Conn, on the following
Saturday. Then each man returned to
his starting point, which, Of course,
took nearly another week.
Il was Benjamin Franklin that, in
1916, suggested the plan for u postal
service on which our present system is
founded In the early days of this sys
tenn rates were charged that seem out
rageous to us of the present day-be
tween Boston and New York, l8A
cents, and 90 cents for points beyond.
OF course this led to swindling the gov
ernment and the smuggling of letters.
Private parties carried mail secretly at
lower rates, and in 1889 Harnden's ex-
press entered the field, carrying letters
concealed in bundles and other packages
at less than legal rates.
But as soon as the government low
cred its charges all these smugglers
dropped out Of the race. There was no
money in it then. philadelphia Times

Special English Traits.

The intellectual speciality Of the Eng
lish, as we should contend, is their i'm
patience of abstract ideas, their inabili-
ty to believe that because an idea is
sound they are, therefore, bound, even
when it il inconvenient, to push it to
its logical result They insist on self
government, but are quite content to
tolerate monarchy and aristocracy. They
hold to religious liberty as q dogma,
but tax all landlords indifferently 10
support an established church. They
believe in the equality Of citizens and
tolerate the most astounding differences
in the amount of voting power which
is assigned to each, so that Londoner
has scarcely third Of the power to in
fluencc laws possessed by an Arcadian
or man of Kilkenny.
They swear by the franchise as the
sheet anchor of liberty, but do not fret,
If they get liberty, because the fran
chise is restricted one. Every man
with us is in the national ideal "free
to say the thing he will" but when he
has said it he comes under very strict
laws, indeed, intended to provide that
what is said shall not be libelous or
blasphemous or improper. Colonel In
gersoll, the American apostle of disbe-
lief, would on this side of the water
have passed half his life in prison.

The Two Ozark Days."

There are two clark days" men.
toned in tho annals of New England.
The first occurred on Oct 81, 1716,
when it suddenly became SO dark soon
after noon that the people were forced
to use artificial lights to do their ordi.
nary work. This strange condition Of the
atmosphere lasted about 81 hours.
Again, on May 10, 1880, there was e
remarkable darkening of the atmos.
phere, but the phenomenon did not
come ON 80 suddenly as that upon the
earlier date. The darkness in this latter
instance began between 10 and IL O'Clock
on the morning of the day named and
lasted throughout the day. The dark
ness extended from the northeastern
part Of New England westward as far
as Albany and southwark to Pennsyl-
vania. The most intense and prolonged
darkness, however, was confined to
Massachusetts,, more especially to the
seaboard. 1t is said to have come from
the southwest, but there is no mention
of it made in the history of Ohio or the
Virginias. The exact cause still remains
one of the unexplained mysteries. ST.
