Thus far over $3.50 has been sub

Though Washington enthusiasts are

"THEIR VESTED RIGHTS"

Remonstrance has been made because
The Tribune has referred, In It's edl-
torlal articles. and has permitted ref

marriage record of the Mormon church
antecedent to 1890 1T is cited as q
part Of the objection that The Tribune
claimed to have drawn a deadlne at
tack the things done previous TO that
time, since that was the date of set
tlement with the Government.
To such remonstrance The Tribune
once more asserts that when the Ma

placed on that document; when the
Gentilcs of Utah endorsed II as having
been made I'm good faith: when The
Tribune assumed, through these COL
umns. tnat the fight against polygaIny
was ended because polygamy Itself was
brought to an end-there was no longer
any thought that polygamous practice

in this state. Often since the recru-

believed was a command OF God No
attack has been made in this paper
upon those people who practiced plural
marriage under a belief In It's divinity.

been made upon those frauds who con-
tinued to practice polygamy after they
pretended that a command had come
direct from God inhlbiting Its contln-

THE PUBLIC TELEGRAPH.

Those who Insist upon Governmental
tclegraphs viii be interested I'm re-
port recently made by Robert P. Por-
ter on the telegraph system OF Great
Britain, which Is Il Government mo-
nopoly. Mr. Porter is a statistical ex-
pert iof high standing, and his investi-
cations Of public affairs abroad should
be appreciated by the American public,
which can draw useful lessons from
them.
Mr Porter says In recent letter
from London that for the year ending
March 3i 1905, the British Govern
ment paid out s4.610,000 more on tele-
graph service than Il received for that
service. IT paid also Sl,35S,500 interest
pay for the telegraph lines when they
were first taken over by the Govern
ment In 1901. The total deficit was,
then, 5,96S, 800 for the year ending
March 81, 1906 But when the tele-
graph lines were managed by private
corporations they showed, In the last
year OF such nagement, profit of
81. 10000
Doubtless one cause for the deficit
was the reduction OF rates to twelve
cents per message In the Kingdom; 1t
was supposed that the dpcraased rates
would so stimulate business as to re-
store the balance TO the right side OF
the ledger, and there was. in fact. some
prospect of this, for n few years. But
there has always been a deficit, and
now this Is increasing. Business was
|isum1ldfed for a time by the lowered
rate ;gbut Of later years this has retro
gressed. Telegraph messages have de-
creased In number, the telephone com
petition being given officially as one of
the main factors In the decrease. I'm

of criticism denounces the Government

the popular criticism. But the deficit

dous fact. And 81 that service cannot

This method OF catching things COM
