Dur- ing the eight years’ existence of the commits- ston no attempt was made by the comimis- ston to punish tho companies tor ylola- tlons of tho law. Complaints wero at first universal, but, as the officers appointed by the State to protect tho people dd noth- ing In the premises, making complaints be- came ® useless proceeding. Occaslonally, however, somo resolute citizen would ad- here to hla demands for restitution, and when he could not otherwise bo silenced tho railroad company, by the advice of the Com- nilssioners, paid the eluim., The Commis- stoners found this to he the most economical plan for the raltroad companies to adopt. It worked somewhut thus: Out of 1,000 cases of extortion and unjust discrimination S00 victims, despairing of any netion by the Comnisstoners, innde no complatnits; in the other 200 eases the Commisytoners, by in- netion, delays, equivecations, and blutling, were able to crowd out, say 190; and in the other ten eases the rallrond companies, act ing on tho atyies of the Commission- ers, compromised with the complainants by paylng them such sums as tho Comutssioners wero able to Induce tho wronged persons to seeept. The Inw was therefora executed by the Commissioners so that possibly In 1 pereent of the cases of extortlon tho olfending railroads made resti- tution, But the Commissioners, this. time took patng to avoil all complaints hereafter, ‘They take the ground that the law compels thom tomakeonly “maximum” rates, which means rates so excessive that no raiirond compauy will ever think of exceeding them, ‘This will shut out all conptaints of over- charge, and the Commissioners will in thelr nesxtreport be able to polut to the faet of no complulnts forovercharge. A correspondent writlng to Tins Lununn in tho interest of the Railroad Commissioners thus describes tho pain and agonies which theso officers haye endured while incubating this sched- ule.

As compared with a haul frou Omaha to Now York, that part of the haul through Alinols ts comparatively n very short one, but it nevertheless js part of the loug one. ‘Thore are no terminal charges on that part of the route passing through Milnols, Why, thon, should tho tryusportation company compel the payment of 1 cents per 100 pawyds for the trangportation of corm for the 9 200 miles of the route in Ilinols when the whole rate for the 1,800 miles from Omaha to New York ts onty 50 vents, ‘Tho wholo route of thesy roads governed by this sehedute of rates fs witht the State of Ulinols, The “tong? amt the "short hauls are both within this State.

But the terms of this eunstruetion contract are In no wise changed by the method which was employed to ob- tain a copy thereof ant to make It publle, The Mutual Union people charge that the Western Union manngers conspired to pro- eure this contract and make Its terms known In order to injure the business af the new compuny, impalr Its credit, and influence tho stbseribors to the stock to refuse paymenton thelr subscriptions, All this may be true, but the fact remalns that, if tho contract were fair, its publication would not damage tho new company nor have the effect on the subserlbers which tho exposure was Intend- ed to hive ‘The niaunor in which the construction con- tract has been made. publle nny be dts iuissed ns of no spdcinl concern to the public, ‘The terms of that ebutract constitute tho in- terest of tho whole alfalr. It appears that a construction company, under the firm namo of John G, Moore & Ca, (an fuside ring), uniertook to built 13,000 miles of tetegraph Iines, und were to be paid therefor the enor- mous stim of $14,000,000—$4,500,000 In 6 per cent bonds and $0,600,000 in stock. ‘his pay isat the rate of siearty $1,100 2 mile, which ts about the same, it Is sald, as tho eapitallza- tlon of Western Union after frequent proc- esses of watering, and ab Icast thrice as much as the work of construction ought to cost, Ifsuch be tho fact, then it is maulfest, without further Investigation, that the new company has practiced gross deception upon the public, has obtalned subscriptions under false pretenses, and proceeded from the start to defraud the subscribers to tho stock, 1t was represented that the new company liad been organized for tho purpose’ of an tagonlzing «% dangerons monopoly; that its fxellities woull bo provided at tho very lowest cost; that it would thus bo able to do telegraphing at rates far below those required to pay dividends on the watered stock of the Western Union; and that the competition {t would thus provide woul compel the Western Unlon to reduce Its rates. All those objects would necessari- ly bo defented by paying to a construction ring double the actual cost of fursiishing the necessary facllltivs for doing tho business, ‘The terms of the construction contract made by the Mutual’ Unlon Company will undoubtedly create the Impression that it Is apretty “watery? scheme. As tha whole thing will be constructed for considerable Jess than the face of the bonds, itis rathor diNlcuit to see where the subscribers for the stock will have anything to represent thelr money, ‘Phe public has been decelved if it hing been persuaded to give tho now enter priso lis sympathy and encouragement une der tho promise that it would lead to low and permanent rates, as tho purposs ninnl- festly is. to furnish fat contracts to the vonstruction companies ant pay auch exorbitant prices for constructing the lines as to prevent reasonable rates, Nor can it be doubted, under these circumstances, that there was an intention ullimately to foreo the Western Unlon Com- pany into buying up the compelltion after tha subseribors to the new company had been squeezed by bears and the stock was In the control of wring, ‘Thus the mission of the new company was, from the start, mere- ly toadd at somo near future time §14,000,- 000 or more to the enpltal stock of the West- ern Union, upon which the publle would he compelled to pay dividends In the shape of Increased rates, ‘Thy Western Union would gain no now facilities which It needa; the publle woul bo no better served, nor even so well, after another ‘consolidation’; tho money expended ostensibly for construction would pass Into the hands of the projectors, and tho business of telegraphy would box worse monopoly than before, How long aro these repeated efforts at what the Western Union calls. ‘blackmail? fobecontinued? Just so long as tho Amerl- can people are willlng to submit to them, dust so long ns any one corporation {8 per- uultted to anjoy a monopoly of the telegraph business thera will bea constant temptation to organize blackmatting schemes, Just o8 rapidly 48 ove or more of the opposition con- cerns are swallowed up by the giant mgnop- oly, ufter the manner pf the Atlantic & Pas eifto and the American Union companies, others will start up with the hope und inten- Uon of selling out, as thelr predecessors hayo done. ‘The public will continue to submit to the saine old game, und the Western Union Company will bo compelled to ubsorb new compotitors.and water its. capital stocks ace cordlagly, ‘The only benetielarles are the speculators and sehemers who gob up the new eamnpantes, fleece the subserlbors, make money out of the construction contracts, and finally sell ont to the enemy. But what isthe remedy? Plainty, the ase sertion by tha Natlonal Government of Its power and its right te own and inanage tha folograph business of the countey, 13 It now owns and manages the mail business of the country, ‘There ts no need of more than one telegraph compatiy. ‘Lhore ts no economy In double or treble {nvestments to do tho Dusiness. But tt is necessary that tho facile tes should be free and equal to all, that th shout be furnished to the public at the low- eat possible cost, and that they should be protected from: the maninitations of specu- Jaturs, ‘These things can only be assured by Government control. Postal telegranhy Is no fongeran expertment. It has provided tho maxtinum faellities at tho mininiim rates In England without belag a charge upon the Goverment.
