Whatever motives Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock had in reoomme?d:n?
government ownership and operation
of all telegraph lines, his proposition
came as a surprise and something of
a disappointment lite auocess as
the head of the PostofTioe Pepwt
meet has shown him to be a very
practical and level-headed man. His
adv?-*,y of such a tremendous
scheme of pevemmeot ownership of
public utilises is puKling to many
ir tei 'neer.t citiiens.
There are copent A.*"W easily
understood. why the government will
Mt buy and operate the telegraph
lines The ir.:;>al investment would
be very h.>*\ y H would doubtless
require years, at least, to enable the
government to run the telegraph sys
tem without lasses which would have
to be p? d by the taxpayers. isaolnd
inj the millions of peopte who se:
dom ii ever us?e the telegraph High
er rate* would be too unpopular Per
haps the income woo id ?e\ er meet
the expenses Uncle Sam .? notor

the manner ia whi. h the IVstalfic*
rvpartment has been conducted does
not enoocraare the beTxf that the
telegraph l.aes under h? manage

LONDON BEGGAR BETTER
PAID THAN LABORERS.
LOXPOV Jan. 2^? The profession
ai lxmd<vn boprar can earn more
evifry day thaa the average British
workinrman. This is the oocetasion
of \V. Arbuthnot, secre
tary of the London MeodicBj' Socio
tjr, which is completing an Investiga
tion into the subject. The secretary
estimated that the average takings
o' the street begpar amounted to
*1-5 A day.
It is said that begging is not so
well organised as formerly. A few
years ago the beggars met and ar
their respective stations so
that their territories should not over
lap. Nit the competition has now be
come so k.-en thAt littW attention is
paid to these former v parted rights
