Proposed Consolidation OF Western
Union and Postal Companies.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE Globe
Monday night said:
The report that negotiations are
pending for merger OF the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph compa-
MES has for its foundation something
more than idle Wall street talk 1t
can be stated on trustworthy author
fly that suggestions looking to such
a result have been made both to
George J. Gould and his associates in
the Western Union and to the Postal
Telegraph management.
Strong financial interests are will
ling to act as the intermediary in
bringing about such a merger. and
one Of the impelling causes of this
movement Is the desire to heal the
wide breach between the PennsyIva-
MIA Railroad and the Goulds."

Wage enrncrs. though saying little, are

They have compared the records Of the

that he is heart aud soul In sympathy

following extract from nn editorial IN

The oeorgian's Opinion Of Roosevelt
and Parker.

Thomas T.. Watson, the candidate OF
the Peoples party, Is getting a great
deal OF amusement out Of what he calls
the independent side-show Of his own,
Of which he Is "in full militant aggres.
sive control" lie says he respects
Roosevelt and the Republicans because
they know what they want. are candid
In stating their position aud fearless in
fighting for their principles. He prefers
Roosevelt TO Parker, because the former
"is not seeking the support OF Bryan
Democrats upon false pretenses. lie l.
not playing a confidence game on the
negro question. lie Is not attempting
TO win Jciicrsouians by sham adher'
cnce TO Jefersoninn principles. lie is
not In ambush: he is behind no blind
he stands out in the open aud says 10 his
enemies; Here | am. u Republican
who stands pat on all existing conditions;
II you want fight. come On.
Mr.. Waison's letter is full Of yitrlolic
contempt for Judge Parker as u weakling
and artful dodger. IL rldicules his posi-.
ton on the pension question and says
his pledge 20 revoke Order No. Is
auounts TO saying. Roosevelt did the
tight thing. but not In the right way,
aud II you will elect me President !
will do the same thing In the proper
way"
As to the Democracy itself Mr.. Wat.

that "The apprehension which now pre-
walls in business circles and the present
unsatisfactory industrial condition of the
country. seems to demand political
change"
The official announcement that the
stockholders of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company now number 4I,95O-an
increase of 81 per cent. since May 1902
is n significant bit of testimony in n
new quarter to the fact that here in the
United States not only is wealth increas-
Ing. but that it is being more generally
and widely distributed than ever be-
fore.
More men receiving larger wages,
more stockholders getting better divi-
dends. is the condition ms regards the
