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.

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.
Acldn That Arc Death to Cholera.
The acid of lemons and oranges Is

placed upon the rinds of the fruit the
