POSTAL TELEGRAPH. flow It llni*ionn That Thin In !tot I'art of the Government Service. The constitution of the United States gives to congress the power "to estab lish postotiices and post roads." And this grant Is exclusive. No one can enter into competition with the gov ernment In the carrying of mails. The supreme court of the United States has decided over and over again that the federal government may make use of any and all inventions that make for the better execution of the duties that devolve on it by virtue of the con stitution. From the foundation of the govern ment tlie postolfiee has always been considered a government monopoly. To connect the telegraph with the post oiiiee is simply a logical development of the postolfiee. The adoption of the telegraph by the postoiiiee is no more radical or social istic in Its tendency than was the dis placement of the post coach by the railroad. The postoiiiee was founded to transmit intelligence. It is bound to keep abreast of modern inventions. It would be admissible to substitute something else for the telegraph if that something else were better adapted to the purpose. \\ hen the postolfiee was first estab lished. letters were not inclosed in en velopes, but were doubled up and seal ed with wax. Then some one invented the envelope. The government pre scribed that all letters should be in closed in envelopes. The government first employed horses and wagons for postal transportation. When railroads were • introduced, the government at once made use of them to carry the mails. Innumerable inventions have been and are now used to facilitate the mail service. How does It happen that the invention which is the most perfect of all for the transmission of intelli gence Is ignored by the government? There can be but one answer. It is in the hands of a powerful private mo nopoly which has the government by the throat. The first line of telegraph ever built was built by the United States government and owned by it from 1844 to 1847. When this line was turned over to a private monopoly, Ilenry clay, the Whig lender, and Cave Johnson, the Democratic post master general, earnestly protested. When the patriotic American citizen, Morse, invented the telegraph, he de signed it primarily for the benefit of all the American people. Ilis invention is now controlled by two monopolies whose service Is wretched and whose rates are extortionate. There ore 77,- 000,000 people in the United States. Not more than 500,000 have the benefit of Morse's discovery. But in every other civilized country In the world this American invention is thrown open to all. It Is only in the country of its origin that private monopoly de prives the people of its use.—New York Journal. Maltreated Chinese Laborers. M. L. Brocket!, who has been em ployed at construction work for the Mexican Central railroad, reports the arrival in Guadalajara of 400 China men who had been imported to work on the grade of the road to the Pacific coast. Mr. Brockett's account of the Chinese camps verifies the reports brought to El Paso by the Chinamen who were some time ago arrested for being without certificates. He says that the Chinese contractors treat their countrymen, whose transportation has been paid across the ocean, with ex treme cruelty, giving them Insufficient food and working them like slaves. When the time of their contract ex pires, the Chinamen are rarely if ever re-employed, as the contractors prefer to secure a now lot of emigrants over whom they can hold the power of un paid debt. When the laborers become unruly, they are confined or tied to a stake and starved Into submission. Many, Mr. Brockett says, die from the effects of the treatment they receive. The boldest and most courageous, he adds, attempt to escape. Some suc ceed, while others are captured and taken back to be treated worse than ever. The matter has lately been brought to the notice of the Mexican government. —Mexican Herald. Colorado Coal Miners. A recent investigation of the condi tions surrounding the coal miners of northern Colorado who struck for an advance developed testimony that the average wages of the men were .$.'54.70 each month, from which the company charged for supplies from $4.50 to $0.25. The men were also at an ex pense of about one-half a cent a ton to pay a check weiglimon, employed by the men themselves to check the weight of coal hoisted from the mine. That officer had been rendered neces sary, the men stated, because the com pany's wcighman had not always been fair to the miners. The materials necessary to mining and which the men testified that they were compelled to buy from the com pany are oil and powder. The com panies, witnesses said, exacted a monthly fee of 50 cents from single men and $1 from married men for the services of a physician and 50 cents a mouth for blacksmithing. The men buy powdc- and oil in bulk and allege that the company's charge is higher than the market price, but that it re fuses to permit them to buy of others. To IloorKunlise Clonkmakfri.

A LONDON CRIMINAL. THE FOG THIEF AND HOW HE PLIES HIS PECULIAR TRADE. He Operates Boldly Both In the City and on the Thames—Carries Off Ills Plunder Prom Vans and Cabn Shrouded In the Denae Gloom. Thousands of thieves long for fog with a great longing. Incredible as It may seem, property worth tens of thou sands of pounds is every year stolen from vans and lorries alone In London streets. Quite nine-tenths of this prop erty disappears during fogs. The leaders of the fog thief gangs usually have some little capital to start with. One of them affects to be a cartage contractor on a small scale. He takes very quiet premises that have a high boarding round and that are not overlooked. If he has plenty of cellarage, ail the better. He has at least one smart trap and horse and two and sometimes three rogues to go with it It is during the late foggy afternoons and early evenings of winter that the hauls are made. Streets with ware houses—and not shops that are lighted brilliantly and early—on each side and that are often congested with tratttc are mostly chosen. The small and smart though dingy and inconspicuous looking trap plunges into the thick of the traffic. It soon, In the gloom and murk, places itself immediately behind a van or lorry piled with packages of various kinds. The men in the quick trap are all on the alert. One of them, a man chosen for his immense physical strength, goes to the head of the pony on some pre text. He soon has a package down from the van in front. He Is provided with sharp cutting Instruments, and he has a powerful piece of strap with a hook at one end. If there Is u boy sit ting behind the van, the men In the trap contrive to get him down by di verting his attention. Even with a view to distracting the possible atten tion of carters, the thieves generally get up an altercation, or "barney," among themselves or with others. They are men of colossal Impudence and powers of abuse, and all attention be comes riveted upon them. In one case not far from Farringdon street last De cember they carried off one parcel of furs worth £7OO, the van boy being temporarily blinded, as alleged, by n lad with the thieves blowing some snuff into his face from a pea shooter and then disappearing. One of the most notorious of these fog thieves was a lithe young fellow who crept along the back of a pony to its head, American Jockey fashion, and hooked what be could from out of the van In front. The great hauls of these men are when they follow cabs and private car riages from a railway station. In such cases they generally use two traps and horses. A cab is marked that has ap parently valuable luggage on the top. This is followed till some dark street is reached where the way is narrow or congested; then the driver of one of the traps, that has a very swift pony harnessed to it, deliberately drives across the head of the cab or carriage horse. Of course there Is an angry alterca tion, and while this Is going on the thieves on the other trap have got into the immediate rear of the luggage la den vehicle. One of the thieves goes along his horse's back and lifts the lug gage down. One of the hauls effected last winter in this way was worth £B,OOO and was the property of Mr. de Silva, an Argen tina millionaire. The robbery took place not far from St. Pancras' church Just before the shops were lighted up. As the summer sun brings forth myriads of living creatures, so does a Thames fog bring out upon the dark and apparently deserted river a vast horde of thieves. At least a dozen of the wharf and lighter owners complain of losing from their respective wharves as much as from one to six hundred pounds' worth of coal alone every year. The reader can learn at any river side house frequented by tugboat men that there are scores, literally scores, of tugs pn the river that have never bought a pennyworth of coal for great numbers of years. The Thames police would tell that same reader that men have retired on competences who have been reported to have made their whole fortune out of coal stolen with im punity on the river. The police are helpless over the vast expanse of river and In the labyrinth ine backwashes. If they raid one of the pirate boats in the gloom and dark ness, the spoil is turned out to the bottom of the river in a trice. If this sort of thing can be done to such an extent with a commodity like coal, it may be Imagined what befalls other valuable property on wharves or in lightens. The fraudulent picker up of the river blesses the fog. The picker up is a man who notices that certain barges with valuable cargoes are moor ed in such away that, if they broke loose, they would entail vast expense. The picker up sees that these barges do break loose. That part of his work he does in dead secret. And then, mak ing plenty of noise uhout it at this stage, he rescues from danger the very barges that he has set adrift and senda in a heavy salvage claim.—Lou don Answers.
