New York Sun: The one subject of which piano dealers and piano manu- facturers and workmen in piano factories have been talking for the past few days the piano said to be on its way to America for Mr. Henry G. Marquand, with five figures following the dollar mark in the invoice thus: $46.950. No such price as $46,050 was ever paid for a piano before, but no proohet will ventare to say that no one will ever pay so much again. “What do you think about such a piano?” said a reporter to an up-town music dealer, . “Had you arrived at the of matur- ity before the war of the rebeilion began,"" said the dealer, “and you had been of a cynical disposition at that time, you 11 { YHE PRIDE OF NOBLE AN CESTRY An 04d Applioant—The Powerfal In fluence of American Oustome— Education in an Over- stocked Market.

These items of cost mount up, but after all they are items in the cost of a piece of furniture rather than the 1tems properly chargeable to a piano.

HOW THE LINES ARE MANAGED. An Interview With J, C Lambe, As- sistant Postmaster General of Great Britain—An Ef- ficlent System. LoxDoN, Sept. 16.—[Correspondence of .]—(n view of the agitation in the United States congress of the subject of postal telegraphy, and the probability that action will be taken upon it at t he approaching session, there can be noth. ing of greater interest to Americans just at this moment than the telegraph system of the British government, 1n connection with its mail service, inasmuch as the service to be givenjn the United States 15 to be patternod after that in this cor try. Twice has thesenate of the United States passed bills within the last three or four years providing that the govern- ment shall buy those existing or construct new lelcfrnnh lines, and operate at a uniformyl low tariff for the masses; and the proposition has gone so far as to re- ceive the favoruble consideration of the committee having it in chargein the house of representatives, Mr. Edmunds, who is championing the subject in the senate, said to me only a few weeks ago that he believed the present con- gress would take favorable action, and that the agitation of the subject would commence very soon after con- gress convened in December nexi. For the purpose of being able to tell all about postal telegraph here and to apply it as far as possible to the Umted States, 1 have spent a couple of days in the pos office department of Great Britain, talk- ing with the principal officers, visiting the general operating rooms, inte: W ing the practical men and convering with the patrons. The English government BOUGHT THE TELENRAPH LINES in the United Kingdom in February,1870, and has had a complete monopoly of the service ever since and the oflicials and the people are more than satisfied with it. Among the others of the general gov- ernment with whom I have talked on this subject was Mr. J. C. Lambe,whose rank equals that of second assistunt postmas- ter general in America, who has diplo- matic supervision of the transmission of mails and telegrams, who is an_excepti- onally intelligent official and I will let himtell of the service us he told it to It the government of the United States undertakes to furnish a telegraph service—and I think it should—it ought to have the monopoly of it, and give the people the benefit of the monopoly; other- wise the rival companies will let the gov- ernment do the work where it does not pay, without opposition, and by cutting rates in the densely populated secti secure all of the patronage there, therefore the cream of the service. a free field to all sorts of rivalry and pri- vate corporations a government would not be able to make the service self-sus- mininr. and the sooner the government takes hold of the service” in the United States the better it will be, not only for the government but the whole people of the country. “The stock of the telegraph companies in America has been WATERED ENORMOUSLY and it will be ered to a greater extent as the oflicers ot the corporations sce that the government is moving in the direction of purchasing their plants, The Western Union Telegraph company, which I understand is the great tele- graph monopoly in the United watered its stock to about three times its original magnitude. If congress at its approaching session should come 8o near tho passage of u_ bill contemplating the purchase of existing lines, as to fail by only a slight margin, it will cost the country millions of dollars on account of the watering process which will follow. “Were it not that England purchased her lines of telegraph by means of money raised on loans or bonds, the postal tele- graph system would be self-sustaining, and quite a large profit would be turned 1nto the treasury every year at the pres- ent rates. Six years ago we came within £000 annually of paying out the entire expense of operating our postal tele- graph system, including the interest on our bonded indebtedness, and we pay 3 ver cent and a fraction of interest. Our service was largely increased about that time, and we should have placed it upon a paying basis, had not there followed a large increase of pay to employes, and of the number of ofticers. For a while, under the increase of expgnse, the debit- ure increased, and the success of the ser- vice a8 a self-supporting proposition did not look very well; but Iast year it came up to within £200,000 of the total cost."” Here Linterrupted Mr. Lambe to ob- serve that in the treasury of the United States there are at present sums of nuoney aggregating questionable amounts but surely overreaching $200,000,000, and that they yielded nothing to the coun- try. B “With so little money,” said Mr, Lambe, *‘there can be no question what- over as to the propriety of the American Kovernment tal “F charge of the tele- graph.system. @ have ONLY ONE DRAWBACK with us, and thatis our indebtedness we owe for every dollar of the original plant. With no interest to pay the gov- ernment of America should be able to furnish the people with a telegraph ser- vice at rates less than we do, and have a clear proht at the end of every fiscal ear. Iwill tell you something about he rates of taritf charged for telegrams under our system, and you can compare them with the charges in your coun- try, and see 1if we do mnot already uncut your private companies a very great deal. The charge for the transmission ot a telegram from and to any point in our United Kingdom, includ- ing the channel 1stands, etc., is Fence for the first twelve words, and a halt a penny for each subsequent word. We churge for the address and signature to a telegram, and I believe itis the only de- parture we huve taken from your system in adopting the telegraph as a means of communication. Ordinary postage stamps are placed on the telegrams for payment of telegraph service, and they are cancelled at the postoflice where filed the same as if they were muiied, at the rates T have named. “The newspapers probably get as much benefit as any other class by THE GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH SYSTEM. The rates for newspapers—and I mean by newspapors all publications registered ns newspapers at the postoflice and entitled to reduced postage—and ulso clubs, news associations, pay 1 shiling (25 cents) for each 100 words dispatched after 6 p. m., for the first address, and 2 pence (4 cents) for each 100 words to every additional address receiving the same Yeport. For day messages the rates are the same, ex- cept that the basis is 75 words for 1 shilling. You see at this rate where a messagze is addaresied to more than one newspaper the cost 18 but 4 cents for each 100 words or fraction thereof sfter the initial 100 is paid. The cheapest rate n in America is about 16 cents for 180 words, where the distmace is short and the number of words sent is great. The average press rate in America is, [ believe, something like § cent a word, or twice the rate we charge if the telegram is sent to vne paper. “The immensa advantage in postal telegraphy in Awerica would be, I should DAILY BEE think, to the people at places where there is no competition in telegraphy. dations as the one residing in a Inr,e city where there are ever 80 many rival tele- graph lines. Then there is “absolute se- curity to those who send messages over {owrnment lines. The secrecy is ver- ect. None was ever known to make public THE CONTENTS OF A MESSAGE, All operators and clerks are sworn. It is & misdemeanor in all the United king- dom except in Scotiatd, and 1s punished by fine or imprisonment to open a tele- gram. The same relates tothe mail mat- ter in America. In Scotland it is made A crime to open & message whether it is done by an employe or other person, or to make the contents of a telegram known to a person not entitled to them. We have special delivery arrangements and lhe{x act with great promptness.’” ‘‘How do the railroads operate tele- Frnpn lines since the government pro- hibits the maintenance of individual wires?"’ 1 asked. “I'he government,” replied Mr. Lambe, “‘supplies all employes, even for private individuals, in the operation of telegraph lines. Except in special instances, the railroad companies do not own the lines they use. If a sveciul wire 18 desired they make application to the government. 1f we find it 18 needed, and there is room for it, the railroad company puts up the wire and we pay for it. There is such a thing as a railroad company leasing a wire from the government, and it is known as a sub or additional wire. We charge £1 a mile a year for it and furnish an operator; but the government has exclusive rights for the construction and maintenance of all telegraph lines, even over private property.’ *‘[ presume your system would do away with our special wiresfor stock brokers?’ ‘“‘An individual may control aline from one of his houses to another; a firm may have a line of hisown, built snd con- structed at its own expense, from one of its houses to another: but one broker can not have a line of his own to unother broker unless he leases it from the gov- ernment, and then it is under the govern- ment’s control THE RATE FOR LEASED LINES 18 £7 ($35) per mile per annum. We pro- vide these special rates whenever needed and the figures incindes 1nstruments, clerks, operators. ete.

Of course in the larger cities where one or two clerks are required the vostmaster, the clerical force and the operator are distinctive oflicers of the oftice. The hours in the telegraph oftice are the same as those of the postofiice Where messagos are to be sent after of- ficial hours arrangements must be made with the postmaster.

The bills now under consideration are very crude; ally are they lame in the matter of su es for the officers.

We are constantly doing it, and the officer baviug super- vision of the lines has authority to in- crease the capacity of offices, extend lines and provide special accommoda- tions for special occasions, just like the superintendent or manager where there are only private corporations.” In another lotter 1 will re an inter- esting conversation with Mr. Pearce, the gereral electrician of the postofice de- partment, who is known as the practical man of the service, P. 8.
