After taking hopeful view of business
prospects and adverting to the fact that
civilized nations have been piling up nation
al debts since 1851 the New York Herald puts
the cause of the worldwide depression of bnsi-
ness in one terse depression: oAlmost all the
nations of Christendom are in the position of
a man who has built larger house than his
fortune can maintain, and who yet cannot
sell his elephant to somebody else."
The following paragraph is from the Sun
day Capital at Washington. 1t is doubtless
a lie, but it is one of that kind OF lies that
used to be taken for truth and enlarged upon
ad nauseam by the independent press: /:
"Here's civil service for you. A correspond
ent writes us: Secretary Sherman is having
his house on K street, between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth, repaired. The workmen
are employees of the treasury department,
paid by the Secretary, but superintended by
Frank Hesler, the cabinetmaker of the treas
ury, on government time. The materials
used are taken from the treasury. A ques-
tion worth asking is: Why do the men en-
ployed by the foreman carpenter of the treas
ury get full market wages and only work
eight hours per day, when those employed
by the contractors for the heating aud yenti-
lation work only get 81 per day and work
ten hours; either night or day, as may be re-
quired?''

The Patent Office Fire.

The loss occasioned by the fire in the Pa
tent Office Building in Washington, Monday,
is not so great as was at first feared, but it is
very serious. The large number of models of
inventions destroyed affords opportunity for
innumerable disputes and consequent costly
litigation. Some of these models can be re-
produced from the specifications and original
drawings which were generally saved, but in
other cases the destruction must necessarily
give rise to long and vexatious disputes. The
loss in property actually destroyed and by the
ruin of a fine public building is but very
small part of the real loss-a loss which comes
from the destruction of titles to and eviden-
ces of ownership in vast amount of wealth.
The capital created by the inventive genius
OF the country is chiefly held through the
titles consumed in the Patent Office. The
loss of valuable records other than these is
great, and entails much confusion and delay
in the transaction of public business. The
Land Office records fortunately were saved,
and thus the way barred in that direction
to tedious and ruinous litigation, and
10 possible injustice. But in many
cases the fruits of lifetime of study
and toll have been swept away and opportu-
nifty given to unscrupulous men to enrich
themselves by the labors of inventors.
The fire TOBIAS destroyed our most charac.
teristic national collection. The inventive
genius of the American is his distinctive at
tribute, the quality which above all others
distinguishes him from his fellows. In the
Patent Office were stored the Illustrations of
half-a-century of inventions, the models Of
the works which have revolutionized the ma
chinery of the world. No comparable ,colec-
ton is elsewhere to be found, land this one can
scarcely be restored or replaced. 1t showed
at glance the mighty progress in the indus
trial arts, outstripping all the ages gone be-
fore, which the American people have made
in a few decades. The collection was a
unique National museum entirely and dis
tinctively American, and one which no other
nation in the world can furnish.
The lesson of the fire is patent. The loss
teaches us that parsimony is not always econ
omy. A few thousand dollars expended in
making the building fire-proof would have
saved us from the loss of millions. 1t has al,
ways been cause of just complaint that the
public records are insecurely housed but lit
tie heed has been paid to the complaint by
Congress. That body will do we'll to take
warning by the fire and speedily provide pro-
lection against similar losses in the future.

''LIBERAToR" Kimball and Bishop of
the Methodist church, name not given, will
do to travel together. They are both labor
ing to the same worthy end-the prompt liq-
udation of debts on churches, although their
methods differ. Kimball, whose success has
name sLiberator," travels from state to
state, and addresses congregations sitting in
churches that are only partly paid for, upon
the extreme desirabili:y of clearing off all
liabilities. He puts it to them plain, direct,
and earnest, and in a surprising number of
cases accomplishes his object. He has thus
far wiped out debts of this nature amounting
to $350,000 in the aggregate. The good Bsh.
op employs what might be called extreme
measures. There was church to be dedi-
Gated at Cleveland, the other day, Metho-
dist church and the Bishop was invited to
perform the ceremony. He was on hand at
the hour appointed for the exercises to begin
as was also very large congregation. There
were the usual preliminary hymns
and prayers, and then instead of going on
with the dedication he announced that there
was debt of $4,000 on the building which
ought to be removed forthwith. Following
his exhortation subscriptions were taken up
which amounted all told. to $4,000. The
Bishop waited long enough to be sure
that no more money was to be
be put down, and then, with the remark that
the church Would be dedicated when the
debt was paid, he pronounced the benediction.

The Princeton exploring expedition, which
started on the oath of June last on two
months scientific tour of Colorado and Wy
oming Territories, returned early last week.
The party was under the leadership of Pro-
fessors Karge and Brackett (Prof. G. f.
Brackett, formerly of Bowdoin and a native
OF Parsonsfeld in this state) and was COM
posed of eighteen students and three attend
ants. Most of the number were members of
the classes of III and '7S, chosen in June
last at competitive examination in the vari-
Gus branches. The students went over a
great deal of ground, and brought home
everything of interest that came to their
hands, without stopping to clean or study
the specimens. The large amount of space
to be gone over, and the shortness of the
time allowed for it, rendered this course
necessary.

HE Bangor Commercial at last furnishes
the long-promised portrait of the Chairman
of the Democratic State Committee. The
portrait is not painted in those strong colors
which the public expected from the CONNER
cial palette. As to the correctness of the
drawing our acquaintance with the subject is
too limited to justify US in expressing an
opinion. There is however one portion of
the sketch which is faithful portraiture of
the great majority of the Democratic leaders

THERE are all sorts of speculations relative
to the true intent and purpose of the meeting
between Bismarck and Andrassy at Salzburg,
and, according to the cable, it is very gener-
ally believed that it was arranged with
the design to give the two statesmen an
opportunity for agreeing upon plan for
the basis of mediation between Russia and
Turkey. Whatever Austria's views of action
may be, it is scarcely probable that the Ger
man Chancellor will attempt to intervene for
the present, as he would almost certainly
meet with rebuff from both the belligerents,
and he probably thinks that Russia is not
sufficiently exhausted for the ultimate de-
signs of Germany, and her permanent secu-
rity from future aggressions from an alliance
between Russia and France. Politicians, of
course, must speculate but the most note
worthy event that has yet followed the con-
ference has been an increased hesitation on
the part of SerVia, and the withdrawal of her
forces further within her frontiers, for the
express object of refraining from giving ad-
ditional umbrage to the Sultan.
