Wiiir IVOTOV , April 3. taft Corre < ? ponil-
cnce of Tin : Bi.r. It Would appear from
communications being received at the post' '
olllce depaitment.that the people throughout
the countiy are considerably stilted up over
the postal telegraph question. Tlio post
master general is In receipt of scores ot letters -
tors evciy day from not only the business
men , but the common people , who cndoiso his
proposition for n limited postal telegraph ser
vice They say It will cost practically nothing
to make the experiment , nnd If it proves to be
a failure no one , unless it bo the monopolists. .
Will bo Injured.
Mr. Wanamaker receives a gieat many let-
lei's from tele-graph operators giing the prac
tical side of the question. Ills attention has
been called to the fact that the w lies now In
existence nio jery infeilorto those which
were in use before the absorption of the
Baltimore & Ohio , mid before the onlyiival
to the gteat telegraph corpoiutlon
was wiped out of existence.
The operators report that since the
Baltimoio & Ohio was extinguished , the
great telegraph corporation la indifferent ns
to its lines , not having an ) thing to spur it up
to supct lot ity. When theie is heav ) \ \ cathet
er stotms sweep over the countiy the tele
graph set vice is piostiatcd now , whereas a
few j ears ago telegrams could bo going over
the cotintt ) In some kind of shape In almost
any kind ot weather and In almost nil emer
gencies. There have been great improve
ments made in the telegraph M stems ilnt Ing
the post four or live ) ears , but it appeal's that
none of these uav o been taken advantage of
by tlio telegraph col poration The reason Is
obvious Theio is no nccessit ) fora cot poia-
tlou which occupies the lie-Id mid bus a
monopoly to spent ! its mtJnev iu the way of
impiovemcnts. All business must go into
the hands of this company an ) vvav.
The ptoposition of Mi Wamunaker
is told in a sentence. It is
for the gov eminent to give all of its facilities
in the way of w Ires and buildings and the
'
use of the'postofllec sei \ ice for telegraph pur
poses , and to receive bids fiom piivntc par-
tics who wish to accept these lacilities and
furnish the govetnment and the people with
a tclegiaph service w ith IKud schedule pi ices ,
which must be fiO per cent lower than the
tai-ilt chatged at piesent. There is no donbt
that a private corporation totild lease the
wires now held by existing companies or build
new lines , and with the lacilities which the
gov eminent can nffoul produce a telegraph
service at one-half the piesent rates , which
would bocquall ) as satlsfactoiy. It is pro
posed to deliver telegrams thiotigh the mails
the same as Icttcis whe-ie tlicie ts no lush or-
doicd , and w hero Immediate deliver ) is 10-
qimcd to fiunish it by ! 'special deliveiy
btariips The contuut can bo given for a
potlod of either ten , llftcen or twenty jearb ,
and if tlio sen ice should not piovo satisfac
tory to the people or the gov eminent tlio con-
trtiot can then be pc'tiulUod to go b ) default
Among the persons w ho littv e bho\\ the
greatest interest in -proposition aio the
Knights of Labor and the newspaper pub
lishers In the countiy districts Heavy nat
ions of the wires can got such laigo i educ
tions iu rates that they are natutally indiffer
ent to a lat go degree. 'The small dadv news
papers wanting a pt ess vcpoit , uic showing
gieat interest. They know that they could
get a cheaper telcginphlu sot vice , wheieits at
present it is impossible Undoubtedly postal
telegraphy has made greater advances under
Mr. Wanamaker than cvot < before. Whether
that officer succeeds In accomplishing postal
telegraphy or not , bo vvill-hav e given it buch
an impetus that the agitation will go forwatd
to a teunmation nt a day not far distant.
* Members of the house who have business
with the postoflko department aio unanimous
in their praise of Postmaster General W.ma-
maket's selection of a supetintendent of the
ralwav mail seivico. Mr. J. Low no Bell ,
who lills this position now , is a thorough
business man who fully appreciates the im-
poitauee ot ovet ) improvement whiihcan
posstbl ) be made looking to the e.uller de
liv oi ) of letters He1 never penults a sug
gebtion , even of tlio most tin nil chaiactt r , to
leinain unheeded , mid is ulwu.vs willing to
examine i.ueftill ) into any suggestion which
maS bo offeicd haing this object in view
Some few w ceks ago , for instance , a mem
ber hvmg in cential New Yoik called his at
tention to n plan which might bo inaugurated
and which promised tlie earlier deliv ei ) of
the lettcTb mailed in Washington nddiessed to
this p uticular membci's b.uliwii'k Mr. Bull
at once saw the fotco of the suggestion
and made an examination into the chances
for can ) ing it into elleet. Ho discovered
that bv extending the railway mail loutes
ov er about n mile of railroad thiough Phila
delphia connection might bo made Ho nt
once otdetcd thU done , and the result w ill bo
a gain of almost ono day in the time tequired
to can ) a letter liom Washington to points
reached on the line of the Lchigh Vnllej 10 id.
This Is onlv a sample of the manner in w lileh
the pi cscnt superintendent of the railway
mail set \ no conducts bis ofllco
Throughout the west Mr Bell has con
stantly tried to give better mail facilities to
tlio new tows , and besides this ho is peifeet-
ing u plan for the distubution of mail matter
on the tiains running into laigo cities , bv the
postal t lei Ivs , which will save fiom thiit )
minutes to two hours In the nssottlng and
deliver ) of letters to the pnntiiul business
ccntciof tlio countiy. Mr. BoUjiccepted the
position of superintendnt of the iitihva )
mail sei\icoat a financial sactillce to him
self , but he has made- teputation among
business men in all patts of the countiy foi
eflldency In the mail seiviie , whiih is In
shaip contrast to tlu > reputation secured by
the gentlemen who preceded him , the railway
mail sciv ice of the countiy being so delh lent
as to lead a majority of the business men hav
ing commeicial packages for transmission to
use tlio express companies' facilities.

About two-thiids of the bills Introduced

lushing wotk of Connni&Moncr Hmim and his
Intention to adjudicate all pension claims
wltnin the next eight months Is ono of the
explanations of the decieaso In pension
bills People of the conntr ) have begun to under
stand thiu the lucre Intioduc'tlon of n bill In
congress amounts to very little ; that any
body can Imv o any senator or member Intro
duce any kind of a icspectublo bill by merely
asking him to do it , nnd that the
leal favor Is In the senator or member
pushing the bill to n nmility. The men
who talk the most In either branch of con
gress nro these who seem o the adoption of
the smallest number of bills The real suc
cess in legislation lies in committee and Indl-
v Iduul work and not in oratory Theto weio
nbout l.lOix > bills Introduced ill congress dur
ing the last tongtesii , which was an Increase
over the pivv ions congress but there vv ill bo
more legislation ut the hands of this cougrcs4
by vlittio of a decrcaso In number of measures
proposed.
It will take but a fexv months of time for
the farmer * throughout the countr ) to under
stand that politicians have secured absolute
control of their organisation known as the
f miners' alliance und then the1 political
woik of the organization will begin
to decieusc rrom letters iciclved by men In
congress , written by democratic and republi
can politicians , who have nothing but sjwlls
In view , It Is readily ien heie that the active
woik being done In the farmers' alliance IB
led bv man ) bi often-down politicians from the
various parties If the faimcrV alliance
would out ) routine' itself to Its poisonal Inter
ests aside from politics It could undoubtedly
intliienco legislation its well as the commercial
Interests of the eotinti.v , but when It goes Into
ofllce-seeklng and permits Itself to bo led by
professional politicians , It at once puts Itself
to great dlsaitv antiige.
H Is believed that tfio * logMatU o customs
bill which pissed congiess some time ago
will ha\i > the effect of completely destroying
thopiacticoof undetvaluatton and have the
effect of luigclv inctcaslng levenues to the
government without an Increase of price to
i oiisuiueis. Undoubtedly the monopolistic
impoitcrsnt the eastern ami westein sea-
boauls have grown rich off of their underval
uations It has been an eas ) matter to secure
a false bill of sale for nicichiints abroad
w h'Miev er Anict lean purchasers bought goods
for expoition to this country Many Ameri
cans have bought their clothing ready made
In London and elsewheio with the distinct
uudetstiinding that the goods should bo
valued as much lower than the real cost price
as the custom duties aggregated , which
simply amounted to a fice expoitatlon to this
countiy For instance , if u suit of clothes
was purchased in London nt ? . ' ( ) and the duty
was J8 , the London tailor valued the goods at
$ l'j and the American putchaser , It will bo
seen , secured his clothes at the same price
which he would have to pay werehe In Lon
don , w ith only the expicss chaiges added.
This uudei valuation bill will cut oil all this
kind of business and the change fiom ad
viiloiom to specitlc duty nnd vice versa , in
the taiin will add still fuither safeguards
against uttdcivaluation in the futme
