AS to Telegraph Tolls.

We have received from the Times
Democrat OF New Orleans an invita-
ton to join that paper in an agitation
.or the resumption by the federal gov
.rnment of the control of the telegraph.
rhe reasons it assigns for desiring such
action include the improvement of the
service and the cheapening of the
charges. 1t alleges that in it's section
he service of the Western Union is un-
satisfactory, offices in the smaller
owns closing at sunset with no incli-
nation to hold open for late news, even
when of national importance--a condi-
ion which government control would
In its judgment remedy. On the sub
ject of tolls 1t says:
THE cost of poles, wire, the wages
of employees have been cut down and
the service costs not over 60 per cent
of what 1t cost in 1887, yet tolls today
are as high as they were then. Every
other article of consumption, food,
clothing, fuel. etc, has fallen in price
The decline has been specially marked
in all lines of journalistic expenditure.
Paper costs only a fraction OF what it
did in 1887 composition and type set
ting have been cut down one-half or
two-tbirds and the reduction In the cost
of publishing has been so great that
the papers have either reduced their
R~.oa or increased the size Of their edi-
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-07-16

tions. The telegraph alone has made no
reduction in sDite of the fact that it
has profted more than any other line
of service, in the decline in the cost
of the materials used by IT, the wages
paid its employees and the great inn
provement made in all electric and tele-
graphic machinery and Implements,
which enables 1t to send off ten words
now with the same effort and cost 1t re-
auired to send off one a few years ago.
Specials have either become an expen-
sve luxury or the tolls have deferred
the newspapers from getting much
telegraptic matter they would other
wise take"
The foregoing unqucstionably con-
tains some measure of truth. AS n
business proposition 1t would seem to
be reasonable that reduction In the
tolls charged to newspapers would In
duce a sufficiently enlarged use of the
telegraph in news collection to more
than compensate. We have no doubt
that such reduction must sooner or
later come; especially in view of the
growing competition of the telephone.
But our experience with the Western
Union company, and for that matter
also with the Postal, has not par
alleled the New orleans papers in the
matter of a disposition to be accom-
modating. We take pleasure In saying
that the service of these two companies
In this part of the country is upon the
whole quite satisfactory. In offices
where the routine business Is insufflc-
lent to warrant the employment of OPP
orators later than or p. m., we have
always found the companies entirely
willing to await late news when re-
,luested to, or to transmit it by special
effort in emergencies. On this score,
therefore, we have no reason to concur
in our contemporary complaint.
That government control of the tele-
graphs would eventually operate to the
public's advantage may be true; but
in the meantime a cheapening of the
charges would remove the principal ar
gument for such a policy.

the matter, by combining in the office
approachabeness, sincerity, kindness

all It is somewhat aside from the main
point. BE the social morals of Spain
and the United States what they may,
the fact remains that nowhere In this
country is individual liberty restricted
as 1t has been in Cuba; nowhere do we
find the general and apparently sane
toned civic abuses that prevail there,
and never at any time since the Ameri-
can republic was founded has 1t prose-
cuted war or conducted n campaign
with the utter inhumanity and heart
lessness. the total disregard of generous
instincts and the recklessness OF ulti-

the pending but hopeless attempt of

son that it is not the. subject before the
house. Human nature in the working
out of its vices and its passions Is pret-
ty much the same the world over; but
