In a letter to the chnlrrnnn of the liouso cnmnilltoo on postofflcas , Posl- master General \Vanamakor ha.3 again brought to public attention Iho subject of n postal telegraph system , roinforcin ? his arguments with numerous citations of other opinions In fnvor of postal teleg raphy. Th i qwjstlon received Bomo at tention during the first session of the Fifty-Ural congrc'S , the commlttco on poiUifllccs having taken a largo amount of testimony for and ngalnst the proposi tion. It undoubtedly will bo given more- thorough consideration at the next sea- Hion , for the subject is of such great nnd growing Importance , nnd tlio trend of public opinion is BO unmistakably In favor of a postal telegraph system , that notion on the question cannot bo much longer delayed. Tliu nrgunicuts In favor of this propo sition uro numerous and conclusive. Everybody will concede the necessity of ttio government having control of the telegraph in tlmo of war n ° a mensuro of security. In time of pence the telegraph has the same ro- liitlon to commerce that the nerve Bys- tern has to tlio hum-in boJy. Under prej- out conditions , however , this rotation Is restricted. Tlio object Bought is to give it the widest possible extension Und to Hecuro the cheapest and most cfllclcnt Hcrvico without favoritism or discrimi nation. The purpose Is to enlarge the usefulness of the telegraph for social and business Intercommunication , making this privilege available to tnllllonsof tlio people who do not now hiivo It upon terms that will enable them to use it at pleasure. That this IH feasible , nnd that the results would bo ol the greatest advantage - vantage to the people , can be conclu sively demonstrated. The government has a postodlco In every hamlet in the land , Tlio tele graph companies only maintain olllcesiii places wlioro it will pay them to flo f > o. At probably sixty thousand stations the telegraph companies have no olllces of their own , the operators at mo t ol thcso stations are more boyH und the commer cial service is entirely inellicient. A message left at ono 6f those stations Is often delayed for hours and oven days to give way to railroad busincn. In tlio cities the delivery of telegraph messages is entrusted to street nrabs , who loiter about tlio streets and deliver the mes sages to Tora , Dick and Harry. Very often envelopes nruopenud and messages road b 1 people who have no right to read them. All these verj * serious faults nnd de fects of the existing system would bo remedied if the telegraph was a part of the postal sot-vice. The delivery of messages would bo by respectable and intelligent letter carriers and it would bo prompt and accurate. At nrcsont a very largo per cent of the telegraph buHinoBsls confined to stock gamblers , sppculators and pool rooms and the dealers In perishable goods. The postal telegraph ' svstoni , by cheapening the rates , would extend the service to the common people. They would not simply use the wires for death messages and accidents but they would use the telegraph freely for Boclnl intercom-Bo. At tbo liberal rates which the government could make , the telegraph would soon bot'omo tlio channel of communication between U-ns of thousands of people in preference to the slower course of tbo mallH. The great bugbear urged in opposi tion to the plan of u postal telegraph system Is , that the government would control the politics of tbobo employed in connection witri It. Is it safer to leave the telegraph in the hands of the Goulds and VundorbiltsV The plan urged by Postmaster General Wnnnmnkor does not contemplate that the government shall operate the telegraph linos. It simply proposes that the postmaster general shall enter Into a contract with ono or more telegraph companies to put their wires Into public buildings in the cities nnd use the mail curriers for tbo delivery of messages , conditioned that the ratos'hhnll bo uniform and cheap. In other words , that the company entering into the contract shall bo content with a fair profit above operat ing expenses. If this plan were carried out the postmaster general would have nomorotodo with the telegraph op erators than ho has to do with thostonra- Hhlp employes whocarry the mails across the Atlantic. All thnt the government would do would bo to require the postal telegraph companies to maintain olllcos In iho cities and towns designated ny the postmtiHtor general , and to operate their HIIOH at u schedule of rales em bodied in tbo bill. This will do as the entering wedge for Introducing postal telegraphy. Wo bellove , 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 thoin operated , directly or Indirectly , as an integral part of the postal Bysluui. A. HOllllltfa T.IR/W. / The cost of coal is a mutter of vital concern to the people of Omaha nnd Ne braska. On the threshold of winter wo are confronted by the usual advance In prlcoH , and the promlso of a steady rheas as the demand for fuel increases. Con trolled by tbo trusts at every sttigo of progress from the ml no to the consumer , the price is raised or lowered at the will of a few individuals. Th6 hard coal now being sold in this city was purchased at summer prices , or one dollar loss than the present wholesale price In Chicago. On October 1 w general advance was or dered by the trust , and the prices of the ilrst throw grades , which heretofore varied twonty-flvo cents , were made the BlUllO. Hut the coal trusts nro not nlono in the work of llcoclng the public. The railroads - roads extort rates for transportation from Chicago to Iho Missouri rlvor that are little short of robbery. Before the Inter-fituto commerce law went Into olToct the rate was ono dollar and ninety cents per ton. In revising the freight Hohodulo to comply with the law , the corporations advanced the coal rates to three ilollura and twenty cents per ton , in car load lots. This enormous fncrcaou was u part of the Roueml conspiracy to punish the public nnd make the "law odious. Tlio purpose ittllod , but the railroads found the robbing tariff so profitable that it has remained unchunged for flvo years. A more unjust tajc was never Imposed on the people. It is the essence of the high wny man's policy of chirglng what the trafllc will bear. Since 1895 the quantity of coal hnndlcd has Increased with the growth of the country. In stead of reducing rates with the vast In- crea&o of business , the railroads main tain an extortionate toll nearly double what was charged prior to 1&S3 , when the business was barely half what it Is today. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ II77S TKKXLIMl VIV .If.l.V. 10 KM BAT. For some tlmo past the situationof west ern railroad affairs appears to have been going from bad to worse. It is unques tionably doing more than nny other ono influence to demoralize not only the railroad trnfllc of the country , hut other departments of business. The consequences quences of such n policy ns the western roads have long pursued and are still pursuing cannot bo conllncd to those di rectly Interested in these corporations. The stockholders are the first to sutler , but iv persistent course in wasting capi tal must sooner or later make itself felt beyond the ranks of stockholders , and If this is not already the experience from" * the management , or mismanagement , of the western railroads , no ono can say how far oil the inevitable result of con tinuing the present policy may be. The Now York > S'n , noting the unpre cedented movement of general merchan dise , says that the western railroads In stead of reaping are destroying. They are leaving nothing undone , it observes , to plunge the whole western nnd trans continental nystem into bankruptev nnd ruin. "The management of Iho great lines Involved presents today the mo-st nmnxlng spectacle of Incompotency , dis honesty and downright depravity ever witnessed In business nITnirs. If the rail road managers of the west wcro hired to ruin the stockholders who built the railroads they could not more cilectivoly and diligently proceed to accomplish that result. " Thu Stm ufllrms that the policy and procedure are determined by "sordd | nnd dishonest personal motives , greed of private gain , animosity , jeal ousy nnd the like. " The fault Is'not in the law , nor is the competition of an alien railroad responsible for the mis chief. "Ills the dishonesty of the men who manage the properties , " and the SIHI declares that the management of western railroads is n national disgrace and a menace to the general welfaro. In the south the condition is entirely different. There are no rate wars there and no complaints of rates. The rail road managers of that section have learned how to do business cheaply , and they operate their roads upon mod ern methods. This is largely for the reason that the roads uro operated by the owners , or by persons in the di rect control of the owners , while "in the Host the roads arc operated from the narrow and irresponsible point of vo\V ! of men -who huvo no direct interest in the property. " And the i'ltii suggests in conclusion that "if owners will not take u closer relation , to the manage ment of their properties they must expect - poct the present demoralisation to con tinue. " The justice of this arraignment of western railroad management must ho confessed , but the > Sim 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 tlio require ments of the interstate commerce net , and hcnco their peaceful and prosperous condition. Whenever the railroad man agers of the west shall pursue n , like course they will speedily ilnd their af fairs In tin equally enviable and satisfac tory situation. THIKH : Is nothing small about the democrats of Mississippi when it comes to counting majorities. The seml-ofllcial computation of the elToct of the suffrage clause of the now constitution shows that democracy Is assured of a majority of at least forty thousand , put of ono hun dred nnd eighteen thousand whlto votes in the stnto eleven thousand will bo disfranchised , but the olToct of the law on the negro vote , if the plans of the democrats do not miscarry , amounts to practical extinction. 'This vote amounts. In round number * , to ono hundred and eighty-nine thousand. The number dis franchised Is estimated at one hundred ami twonly-thruo thousand , leaving a beggarly minority of slxty-blx thousand. Prom a political and llnancial point of view , this plan is superior to unst methods. It will put a legal ptop under democratic Biipremncy , disband Iho shot gun brigade and bavo the means hereto fore expended in powder and ball , tissue ballots and solf-rogulatlng ballot boxes.

These Pinkcrton forces are simply private armies of hirelings , ready to do any bloody work that may bo required of them for pay , wherever there is any pretense that it is in defense of tlio property of grout corporations. The shooting of Innocent persons , as nt .Al bany during the New York Central btriko nnd at Koi t Worth during the southwestern strike of 18Sti , .shows ono of the evils of this kind of warfare , but the gre.it objection to It is its utter and obvious inconsistency with the state's legitimate functions. No state can afford to toleratu private armies within Its borJei-s. Such mercenary troops are as clangorous to the public peace , safety nnd lib. ortyjis were the private armies of Homo in the days of Kicn/.l. I'inkcitonism must go. It would bo well if Massachusetts should follow tbo example of Montana and Wyoming in this mutter. _ KACTK AN ] ) Kin U1U3S.

An I-Jxcltiiig Scene in Court nt You- tcriliiy's Jlcaring. Dunr.isOct. . 0. ISpccIal Cablegram to TIIK BEI : . ] The magistrate's court at Tip- perary , before which the case of Messrs , Dillon and O'Hrien and n number of other defendants who are charged with conspiracy is being hoard , reconvened this morning All the accused , with the exception of O'Ma honey , who is ill , were present , out their counsel , Uedmond and Timothy Ilcaly , were absent on account of an Important engage ment which demanded their attention else where. On behalf of O'Mnhonoy , Dillon pro duced certificates from two Clonniel doctors stating that bo wns seriously ill nnd that it was impossible for him to attend the trial. ' Hoimn , the prosecution for the crown , ol > jectod to the certificates as not being u vallo excuse for O'Muuoney's absence , und insisted that the doctors bo summoned by the court to testify us to their patient's condition. Dillon said that the doctors' ' ccrtillcates would bavo to be accepted as evidence , that O'Mnhonoy was in no condition to appear be fore the court , ana tliodoctorstheniselvesdls- tinctiy refused to como to the court to sub- stautinto statements they had already made in their certificates. Uontiu then oskod the court to adjourn for an hour to cimblo thu crown to decide whether the charge against O'Mahoney would bo withdrawn 'or applica tion made for n warrant for ills arrest. O'Hrien was not pleased with the prospect for adjourning the case for an hour and he therefore asked Honan : "Can you not de cide this matter In half an hour , and not keep us fooling around hero1 ) The court granted the request of Konuu nnd adjourn ment was taken for an hour. Upon the reassembling of the court , Itonan stated that the prosecution hail telegraphed to two doctors in Clanwell , requesting them to examine O'Mahonoy , and had sent a third from Tipporary to visit and examine the do fenduut. Ho expected that the doctors would nppaar in court latter nnd testify us to O'M.i honey's condition , and ho tberefoio naked that the court take a further adjournment In the course of his remarks Honan said that O'.Mahoney , through his solicitor , li.nl placed the court ut dcil.mco. This remark excited the Indignation of Dillon , who de clared that Knnan's statement was nntrno. Ho further said thai ho had done his bust to procure the attendance ) of O'Muhonoy'a doc tors In court. O'Uricu said that tbo defendants had u right to complain against tbo course of tlnH prosecution. Honnu's remark , ho declared , addressed to uudleaco in lOnglandunii. was an . j.- was designed to Inluro the defendants. * O'Hrlcn's remarks were greeted with criei of "Hero ! " "Hero ! " by the defendants A scene of < rmfuslon ensued. Ttonnn roiKnV'l his remarks again nnd nirain. and Mr Dillon , who was very angry , loudly denied them T i Defendants , In the meantime , protested against the charges made by the prosecutor When order was again partially ruaton-'d Dillon warmly protested against the court taking nny further adjournment Honiun tallied that it was an injustice. Nowamut could bo issued for thu arrest at Mr. O Ma honey until the court hul : heard tha lo ti inony of his doctors. Another he.itod wrsini ; > < > then took plnco belwoon the crown's pru > color and Dillon. The court finally grant. l Konan's request and a further adjournment was taken. The action of the defendants who are on ball is likely to result In their committal to Coiimel jail for contempt of court. OMAHA LOAN AND TRUST " COMPANY.
