An able editorial with the following:

As We have pointed OUT, the ordinance
should give the commission control over the
telegraph companies equally with the rail-
roads. This has been done in all the States
recently legislating the subject. The
telegraph companies exist through the favor
of the State, and under franchises granted
by il, yet they give nothing in return, but
plumber the people with the most exorbitant
tolls, six and seven times as high as such
services costs abroad, and as II actually costs
here. Since the beginning of the trouble

reduction, no matter how much the cost of

only be brought down by commission;
and that commission we can only get if the
