It is 1o evidence of oxist- ing strained relations between Presidont Harrison and Thomas B, Reed that u colloctor of customs at Portland, Maine, has been appointed who was not the cholco of Mr. Reed. Mr. Dow's appoint- ment will not affect the Maine elections in the least. She will continue to roll up majorities for Reed and his taril ideas, and for Blaino and his reciprocity planof securing foroign markots for the surplus productions of this country, The republican plan of conducting the internal and foreign affairs of this government will always be acceptable to the people of Maine, whoover thelocal leader there is, or whatever the character of the family javs as to the disposition of the federal offices may be, The republican party fights for principles first; the offices aro of secondary consideration. Mr. Reed {s accustomed to receiving as well as giv- ng hard blows, He will not wince at Dow's appointment, and will expect con- solation over his and friends’ defeat from democratic sources only, A POSTAL TELEGRAPH SYSTEM. In n letter to the chairman of the house committes on postofiices, Post- master General Wanamaker has again brought to publie attention the subject of a postal telegraph system, reinforeing hisarguments with numerous citations ‘of other dpinions in favor of postal teleg- raphy. This question received some at- tention during the first session of the Fifty-first congress, the committee on postoffices having taken a large amount of testimony for and against the proposi- tion. It undoubtedly will begiven more thorough censideration at the next ses- gion, for the subject is of such great and growing importance, and the trend of public opinion is so unmistakably in fuvor of apostal telegraph system, that action on the question cannot be much longer delayed. The arguments in favor of this propo- sition are numerous and conclusive, Everyboly will concede the necessity of the governmept having control of tho telegraph in time of war as A measu of secur In time of peacethe tolegraph has the same re- lation to commerce that the nerve sys- tem has to the human body. Under p enteonditions, however, this relation is restricted. The object sought is to give it the widest possible extensionund to secure the cheapest and most eficient service without favoritism or discrimi- nation. Thepurpose is toenlarge the usefulness of the telegraph for social and busimress inte mmunication, making this privilege available to millionsof the who do not now have it upon terms that will enuble them to use it at pleasure. That this is feasible, and that the results would be of the greatest ad- vantage to the people, can be conclu- demonstrated. The government has a postoffice in y hamlet in the land, The tele- graph companies only maintain offices in aces where it will pay them todo so. At probably sixty thousand stations the telograph companies have no offices of their own, the operators at most of these stations are mere boys and the commer- cial service is entirely inefficient. A message left at one of these stations is often delayed for hours and even days to vo way to railroad business. In tho ties the delivery of telegraph message is entrusted to street bs, who loiter about the streets and deliver the m sages to Tora, Dick and Harr, often envelopes arcopencd and mes: vead by people who have no right reud them. people 10 All these very® serions faults and de- fects of the existing system would be romedied if the t ph was the postal scrvice. The messages would bo by resp intelligent le iers and it would be prompt and accurate, At presenta very large per cent of the telegraph business is confined to stock gamblers, speeulators and pool rooms and the denlers in perishable goods, The postal telegraph system, by cheapening the rates, woutd extend the serviceto the common people. They would ot simply use the wires for death messages gnd accidents but they ould use the telegraph freely for social intercourse. At the liheral rates which the government could make, the telegraph would soon become the channel of communication between tens of thousands of people in preference to the slower course of the miails, The great bugbear urged in opposi- tion to the planof a postal telegraph system is, that the government would conwrol the politics of those employed in connection witn it. Is it sufer to leave the telegraph in the hands of the Goulds and Vanderbilts? The plan urged by Postmaster General Wanamaker does not contemplate that the government shall oporate the telegraph lines. It simply proposes that the postmaster general shall enter into a contract with one or more telegraph companies to put their wires into public buildings in the citios and use the mail carriers for the delivery of messages, conditioned that tho rates'shall be uniformand chenp. In other words, that the company entering into the contract shall ho content with a fair profit above operat- ing expenses, 1fthis plan were carried out the postmaster general would have nomoroto do with the telograph op- erators than he has to do with thesteam- &hip employes whoearry the mails neross the Atlantic. Allthat the government would do would be to require the postal telograph companies to maintain officos inthe cities and towns designated by the postmaster general, and to ope their lines at a schedulo of rates bodied in the bill, This will do as the entering wedge for introducing postal telegraphy. We believe, however, that the time is not far distant when the people of this coun- try will demand that the government shall purchase all existing telegraph Lines and have them operated, directly orindirectly, as an integral partof the postal systom, em- A ROBBING TARIVF. The cost of coal is a matter of vital concern to the people of Omaha and Ne- bruska, On the threshold of winter wo are confronted by the usual advance in prices, and the promise of a stealdly rise as the demand for fuel ine Con- trolled by the trusts at every stage of progress from the mine to the consumer, tho price is raised or lowered at the will of a few individuals, The hard coal now being sold in this city was purchused at summer prices, or oue dollar less than the prosent wholesale price in Chicago. On October 1 & general advance was or- dered by the trast, and the prices of tho first throe grades, which herotofore varied twenty-five cents, were made tho same, But the conl trusts are not alono in the work of fleecing the publie,. The rail- rouds extort rates for transportation from Chicago to the Missouri river that are little short of robber Before the interstate commorce law went into effect the rate wus ono dollar and ninety cents per ton. In revising the freight schedule to comply with the law, the corporations advanced the coal rates to three dollars and twenty cents per ton, im car load lots. This onormous lncrenso was a part of the general conspiracy to punish the public and make the law odious, Tho purpose failed, but the railroads found the robbing tariff so profitable that it has remained unchanged for five years. A more unjust tax yas never imposed on the people. It is the essence of the highwayman's policy of charging what the traffic will bear. Since 1885 the quantity of coal handled has increased with the growth of the country. In- « of reducing rates with the vast in- crease of business, the railroads main- tain an extortionate toll nearly double what s charged priorto 1885, when the business was barely half what it is today, st WESTERN RAILWAY MANAGEMENT. Forsometime past the situationof west- ern railroad affairs appears to have heen going from bad to worse, It isurmques- tionably doing more than any other one influence to demoralize not only the railroad traffic of the country, but other departments of busine quences of such . polic roads have long pursued andare still pursuing cannot be confined to those di- rectly interested in these corporations. The stockholders are the first to suffer, but a persistent course in wasting capi- tal must sooner or later make itself felt beyond the ranks of stockholders, and if dy the experience from™ ement, or mismanagement, of the western 1ds, no one cnn say how far off the inevitable result of tinuing the present policy may be. The New York Sun, noting the unpre- cedented movement of general merehan- con- dise, says that the western railroads in- stead of reaping are destroying, They are leaving nothing undone, it o to plunge the whole western and t continental system into bankruptey and ruin. ““The management of the lines involved presents amazing spectacle of incompetenc honesty and downright depravity witne in business affairs, Ifthe rail- road managers of the west were hir to ruin the stockholders who built the railroads they could not mo Tectively and diligently proceed to accomplish that result,” The Sun affirms that the policy and procedure arve determined by “sordid and dishonest personal motive greed of private gain, snimosity, jo ousy and the like.,” The fault is not in law, nor is the competition of an railroad responsible for the mi ““Itis the dishonesty of the men today the most dis- who manage the properties,” and the Sun declures that the management of western rallroads is 1di and a menace to the general welfare, In the south the condition is entirely different. There are no rate wars there and no complaints of rates. The rail- rond managers of that section have learned how to do business cheaply, and they operate their roads upon mod- ern’ methods, This is lurgely for the reason that the ronds are operated by the owners, or by persons in the di- rect control of the owners, while **in the west the roads are operated from the nirrow and irresponsible point of view of men who have no direet interest in the property.” And the Sun suggests in conclusion that “if owners will not take a closer relation to the manage- mentof their propertics they must ex- pect the present demoralizavion to con- tinue,” The justice of this arraignment of western railrond management must be confessed, but the Sun omitted to indi- cate the true remedy for the condition of affairs it deplores, which is simply an honest and faithful compliance with the law, a policy western railroad managers have never adopted. In the south the railroads have conformed to the require- ments of the interstate commerce act, and hence their peaceful and prosperous condition. Whenever the railvoad man- agers of the west shall pursue alik course they will speedily find their af- fairs in an equally enviable and satisfuc- tory situation. THERE i3 nothing small about the democrats of Mississippi when it comes to counting majorities. The semi-oflicial computation of the effect of the suffrage clause of the new constitution shows that democracy Is assured of amajority of at least forty thouwsand. Out of one hun- dred and eighteon thousand white votes in the state cleven thousand will be disfranchised, but the effect of tho law on the nogro vote, ifthe plans of the democrats do not miscarry, amounts to practical extinction. This vote amounts, in round numbers, to one hgndred and cighty-nine thousand.
