A MEMBER of the last congressional COM
mittee which visited Louisiana is quoted as
saying that the committee carefully investi-
gated all the facts in connection with the
altered Vernon parish returns which are the
basis of charge upon which Anderson has
Just been convicted in New Orleans, and their
opinion, SO far as he knew it, was that, while
there was no question that the returns had
been altered, Anderson and Wells were not
the guilty parties, but the committee thought
the returns were changed by a subordinate
official. There is strong feeling among Re-
publcans that nothing in the evidence, so far
as reported, warranted the conviction of An
derson or indicated that he was an accessory to
the alleged forgery, while long-ago known and
published facts make such a conclu sion appear
absurd; consequently, there is degree OF in
dignation, and the opinion is gaining ground
that the whole business is simply conspiracy

"CARLEToN'' &C. G. Coffin has been max
ing statement before the Senate Committee
on patents, of the advantages which have
come to the nation from the skill of interests
protected by the patent laws. He illustrates
his argument by many interesting statistics
of the way in which invention has cheapened
production. He said the future prosperity
of the country depended upon four conditions:
First, cheapening of the cost of producing
raw materials; second, cheapening of the
cost of manufacturing, not by reducing wages
of labor, but by employing steam and steel to
do the work of human hands; third, cheapen-
Ing the cost of transportation to foreign coun-
tries or providing new means of transporta-
tion; fourth increased ability to take and use
foreign goods as well as money in payment
for our manufactures. In promoting all
these conditions, inventors were doing
and would under proper encouragement, con-
tinue to render important services.
