4 EVENING STAR: THE EVENING STAR. - WASHINGTON: -Octoder 22, 1889, THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the Worta, aod os an Advertising Medium is worth more than ali the ether papers puvtisaed in Washington. New York Office: 93, Tribune Building. eS eee ‘The latest annual report of the British post- ‘Master-general contains some facts and figures of especial interest to Americans, as bearing on the projectof a transfer of the telegraph system inthis country to the federal goyern- ment. The telegraph business of the British post office earned a profit last year of about 2490,000—an average of nine millson each mes- sage sent, or of more than 53¢ per cent on the total receipts. The receipts have fallen off, as compared with the business of two years ago, nearly a million dollars; but, with the average fee for despatches—sixteen cents—remaining the same, the profite have more than tripled in the interval. It should be noted, however, that when the British post- master general talks about net profits, he does not mean to include in the net expense list the interest on the plant, even reckoned at the government rate of three per cent.; for, with the exception of 1881, the iacome has never, in any year, reached a figure which would cover that. What the English claim for their union of the postal aud telegraph systems is that the telegraph business is done in a much more satisfactory manner than under the old private rule, to say nothing of the wider extension of facilities and the improvement in cheapness, There is hardly a suggestion made over there, among the people who use the wires most, of returning them to the ownership of the corpo- rations, and such a proposal, made outright with a chance of being followed by action, would probably call forth a storm of protest, In applying to our country any of the les sons learned through British experience, ac- count must be taken, in the first place, of the firmer basis op which the civil service stands in the old country than here. The bane of our postal system is the liability to a ‘new deal” every four years, involving the dismissal of old and skilled men and the substitution of novices who have to spend a considerable time in the mere process of getting hold of their duties and becoming acquainted with the public they are expected to serve. The effect of frequent changes is always to cause delays and annoy- ance; and, as the wire is resorted to only be- cause of the necessity for speed in transmission aud delivery, this danger would be a highly important consideration in scratimzing any plan of trausfer, Another point to remember is that all classes of our people use the telegraph much more freely than their British cousins, and hence, at an equal price, the income would bear a larger proportion to the population of the country. If our government should take possession of the telegraph, reduce all messages to a reason- able figure and make that figure uniform, at least within a certain radius in all directions, so that a business man could know toa penny what he would have to pay and could stamp his dispatch and get it off without any further bother just as be does a letter, it is safe to say that twenty messages would be sent to every one that goes now by wire; and if the necessity for prompt and efficient service in the postal telegraph branch should arouse public interest still more warmly in the general cause of civil service reform the change from private to government control would prove a national blessing indeed. et The street railroad companies interested in the litigation with the District, which has just been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, are, it seems, to escape from re- imbursing the District for work done by the latter in lowering the tracks and paving be- tween the rails in conformity with the altered grades in the street improvements made be- tween the years 1871 and 1875. They escape because the guardians of the District's inter- ests postponed too long the bringing of suit to recover the money thus expended, the court deciding that the statute of limitations can be pleaded against the District as an ordinary municipal corp::ation. The sum paid by the taxpayers of Washir-gton for the benefit of the railways in this matter amounts in the one case in whieh a decision has been reached to 2161,622, and the total amount involved is very large. ‘The taxpayers whose money has furnished free cobblestones to the railways will hope that the corporations may at least treat these involun- tary contributions as a conscience fund, to be spent for the public benefit in the increase and improvement of street railway facilities. $< 6 The Parnell hearing will be resumed day after tomorrow, and continued till the end is reached, regardless of the fact that nobody in Great Britain or any other part of the world cares 4 rap for the outcome of it now that the Times letters are confessed forgeries, the forger has committed suicide, Parnell has finished his testimony, and Sir Charles Russell has with- drawn from the case. The drift of the inquiry is toward a farcical conclusion, and a rather stupid one withal. oe ‘The present young Kaiser has had his meas- ure taken for a brand newcrown. The old style affair whick has served the Hohenzollerns verv well for several generations isn’t fine enough for his advanced tastes, He doesn’t purpose to have any “grandfather's hat” jokes cracked on his admini: The packing business is in flourishing condi- tion everywhere in the country, and covers a great variety of commodities—sardines in Maine, salmon in Oregon, pork in Cincinnati, mining outfits in Colorado, and juries in Chi- cago. What next? —___ Mr. Belmont’s jockey is to receive, it is said, @ salary of $10,000 a year. Perhapr, that is rather large for the kind of service which earns it; but Mr. Belmont may not be so extravagant as would appear at first sight, if his purpose is to hire his jockey himself instead of letting ail the bookmakers at the course do it over his bead.
