WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Presi-
dent denies having changed his South
ern policy In essential features. He
says that he never adopted any policy,
Southern or otherwise, that contemplate
ed allowing the laws to be trampled I'M
der foot. He feels as kindly toward
the tSouthern people as ever, and re-
grets that the condition of matters in
two States made it necessary to use the
mild language he did. He credits
Hampton and Nichols with good in
tentions in trying to carry out their
pledges, but thinks they have a ruffianly
element to deal with. His views are
very charitable, and Southern men are
taking back some of the harsh observa-
tons they made when they read the
Southern clause in his message Prom
inent Louisiana Democrats here say
Nichols is in earnest in attempting to
put down lawlessness, and that lot OF
murderers, a dozen or two, will be hung
shortly, to show that authorities are in
earnest.

Why, Blaine!

There is an old adage that politics
makes queer bed-fellows. Except that
there was an element even more potent
than politics in the determination de-
scribed, the adage finds good illustration
in the following special from Washing
ton to New York paper:
The dinner last night to John Mccullough
was marked affair. Reports say there was
some remarkable fraternizing between politi-
guests were present. among them Secretary
Sherman and General Sherman, the latter pre-
siding and making the preliminary address.
He said they had come there to unlimber their
guns and fire away without restraint, and he
objected to the newspaper reporter present la
king notes of the speeches. 1t Is said that Mr..
Blaine and Congressman Blackburn were very
cordial in their mutual expressions Of respect.
Blaine is reported to have clasped Blackburn
hand across the table amid vocferous cheer
ing The festivities were protracted until near
daybreak.
1t will be curious to note the effect
of the above on the fanatical Blaine
worshipper of the State Register.
Though temperance man, he will pro-
badly find no difficulty in condoning the
probable fact that his idol, on this con-
viyial occasion, got mae just fu, but
DER mellow" but what emotions will
wiring Clarkson's soul when he reads
that Blaine, the ''stalwart champion"
the 'plumed knight" whose lance is
popularity supposed to be constantly in
rest, ready to prod the Southern chiefs
in Congress whenever occasion offers,
actually clasped hands across the table
with that miserable Kentucky rebel
Blackburn, ''amid vociferous cheering"
and, as if this silent manifestation Of
friendship was not enough, that the two
B.'s-the very conjunction is suggestive
of sweetness exchanged-between the
hiccoughs- cordial and mutual express
sions of respect This is even worse
than President Hayes receiving South
ern visitors at the White House with
courtesy, over which the Register man
has so often groaned in spirit. Now
that his political saint has fallen from
his niche by hobnobbing at Washing
ton blow out with one of the most ram
pant rebels in the lot, we may naturally,
anticipate let-up of the "plumed
knight" clap-trap.

TIE State Register, like the Irishman,
is never at peace unless it has fight on
hand 1t is just now engaged in bitter
warfare on Rev. p. p. ingalls, Of Des
Moines, and is finging mud in it's most
approved style. The controversy grew
out of the charge by the Register that
Rev. ingalls, was scheming to convert
the Blue Ribbon club Of Des Moines in
30 a political organization, for the adj
yancemcnt of Prohibition party in the
next State campaign. Whatever truth
there may be in this charge, and howev-
er legitimate it may have been in the
first place to expose the plot, and to
condemn it, the contest has now, under
the peculiar methods of the Register,
degenerated into dirty personal
squabble, in which the original cause is
kept out Of sight, and each party is en-
gagged in raking up every item of scan
dial, defamation and blackguardism with
in reach and hurting it with kissing
wrath at his antagonist. OF course no
good can come out Of such a contest.
and it will be strange if political Prohi-
bition in Iowa, spite of its foolishness
and impracticability, does not gain
strength and Importance from the Reg
listers acrimonious assaults upon it's
champions. That paper, in this as IN
other instances, is the worst enemy OF
the cause it advocates.

Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1878-12-13

SENATOR WINDOW, Of Minnesota,
made formal speech in the Senate, on
Monday, in which he pointed out the
imperfections of the present patent
laws. and urged Congress to revise
them. He made use Of the history Of
the Cochrane patent for purifying mid
dlings, introduced into this country
from France, and used almost universal
ly among millers, until some one not the
inventor, procured patent upon the
process, for Matchmaking purposes, and
secured a decision from the Supreme
Court affirming the validity of his pat
ent, before the millers of the country
were aware of the patent having been
granted, thus compelling them to pay
him royalty for using the process
which he had no hand in inventing. Mr..
Window might have drawn another il
lustration of the need Of reform in the
Patent System, by citing the driven
we'll extortion that is just now agitating
the people of his own State and of Iowa.
It's history is almost precisely similar
to the Cochrane patent, and the hard
ship and injustice resulting from it are
even more general and widespread.
There is surely an urgent necessity for
an amendment of the laws under which
patents are granted, which shall prevent
them from being made instruments, in
the hands of grasping knayes, for the
oppression of the people. Senator Win
dom's action is timely, but it should be
noticed that the remedy he proposes is
rerision not subversion of the Patent
System. He is no demagogue, and does
not propose TO raise new issue, and
cry down with the Patent laws! . He
would not vote to put all Patent laws
out of existence" If he should, it
would only prove that he was seeking
to give a wrong direction to popular
feeling for selfish ends. rather than
to provide a rational remedy for the
wrong
