Edward Everett Hale argues in Cosmopolitan for government management of the telegraph, likening it to England’s lighthouse oversight and criticizing private control as a public nuisance. He cites poor New York transmission, Western Union salaries, and calls for cheaper rates and prompt service under government handling.
