the protection Of their property. Under
the Monroe doctrine we owe an obli-
cation to the nations Of the earth to

The governor says that the Outlook

idency would settle nothing. but in
fact would only be the beginning OF
serious trouble"

ton is understood at Washington, or

The country has been in the throes
Of revolutions for over three years,

campaign reaching the people, with
trees conveniently falling on the lines
and interrupting communications; that
il would increase political patronage;
that there might be a tremendous
abuse Of the free message business;
that the government could thus insti-
tUte a system Of espionage; that the
government could not transmit mes
sages as efficiently or as promptly as
Private enterprises.
Eight times committees of the SEN
ate have investigated the question Of
telegraph ownership and reported in
favor of 2 government telegraph.
Seven times house committees have
done likewise. President Grant strong
~ favored it, and another proposition
was brought forward by Gardiner
Green Hubbard, in the nature of a sub
stitute, providing that the government
should have charge Of the handling Of
messages, paying the telegraph COM
panies for the use of their lines, just
as the railroads are paid for carrying
the mails. Still later postmaster gen
eral Wanamaker advocated a mOdifi-
cation of the Hubbard idea When
William L Wilson became postmaster
general he opposed the plan. Frank II.
Hitchcock was the last postmaster gen
eral to advocate it.
Whether there ever viii be a postal
telegraph in the United states remains
to be seen, but whether there shall be
or not, it is generally agreed that if
the United States wants to take over
the telegraph lines they occupy an en-
tirely different plane from any other

UniOnists Raise Big
Funds for Dublin Strike

London. Eng, Nov. 29-WhiIes the
duke OF Westminster and his infIuen-
tial committee of titled and distin-
guished men have been raising some
thing less than $4,000 for their half
million fund TO train British athletes
for the next Olympic games at Berlin
the urade unionists of the country
have, without any great effort, raised
over quarter Of a million dollars for
the wives and children of the Dublin
strikers besides sending them several
ship loads Of provisions and coal. At
the same time another big fund has
been raised fOr the widows and orph-
ans Of the recent Welsh cOIliery dis
aster- Tt all goes to show that while
the British people are still willing to
subscribe to funds raised for practical
and charitable purposes, such matters
as the Olympic games viii not induce
them 10 part with their money, even
when the plan is backed by dukes and
other members Of the nobility.
The raising Of the Dublin and Welsh
funds, however, is taken as. another
evidence Of the growing wealth and
close cooperation of the trade union
lists Of the country. Much Of the money
has come from the workers and their
organizations, which had only Just
completed fund of much greater pro
portions to guarantee the publication
for three years at least of a daily
paper, The Citizen" which espouses
the principle of trades unionism.

troll duty. according to figures fur
nished by che depot quartermaster's

from the fort are called to the inter-
national line for patrol duty, they
come under the care Of the depot
Quartermaster.
The expenditures in II PasO through
