Show BETTER TELEGRAPH FACILITIES WANTED. The Postal Telegraph company will have a line into Denver from Kansas City within tho next two months, and in all probability the extension will then bo pushed to Salt Lake city, and eventually to the Pacillo coast. The new line will be wclcomo iu this city, where better telegraph facilities are needed. Competition is what we want, as monopoly is entirely too independent indepen-dent and insolent. The new company will work revolution, uot ouly iu Deuvor, but iu Salt Lake, and at all other points where it comes in opposition opposi-tion to the Western Union. We hope the day is not far distant whon the government govern-ment will have a telegraph system of ifs own for the use of tho public. Such is the plan proposed by Postmaster-General Postmaster-General Wanamakcr, and nearly every business man iu this country hopes that congress will at this session establish a postal telegraph system. It will cheapen the rates, facilitate, business, and in niauy ways prove a great benefit bene-fit to the public; The employes of the government systom would no doubt consider themselves the servants of the public, and not masters. In this respect they would be tho opposite of many of the monopolistic employes, who, like their employers, regard themselves as the masters of the public uud owners own-ers of the earth, and, in tho language of the late lamented Vandorbilt, say "the public be dd." |
