Middllngs Purifier Case Again.

ST.. LOUIS, March 1.-THE United
States Circuit Court this morning
decided the case of the American
Mlddlings Pnrifer Company against
the millers of this city in favor of
the defendants on the ground that
the reissued patent does not conform
to the original and therefore IS in.
valid. The Minnesota cases follow
the ST. Louis cases. The plaintiffs
will probably appeal to the United
States Supreme Court.
ANOTHER DECISION.

District Court here to-day in the
case of the American Middlings Pa.
rfier Company against Jas A Chris
tian. ct al being the Minnesota
branch of the patent case recently
tried in st. Louis. The decision by
Judge Dillon is that the patent orig
inally issued covered only the pro.
cess for improvement and not the
manufacture of -four and the claim
made under the reissued patent is
expounded to cover the process for
purifying middlings. This not be-
ing described 10 the original patent
claim it is untenable, and the patent
80 far as it refers to the middlings
purifiers is void. The court des not
enter into the question of infringe.
ment. Judge Nelson concurs.

THE sENTIMENr OF OHIO.

There would seem, to the superficial OBJ
server, to be some occasion for the Inaugural
tion by the President of paciicaton and
Cancellation policy among the Republican
editors of the United States of Ohio. There
is not only great diversity of sentiment
between such leading spirits as Mr.. SMITH,
of the Cincinnati Gaschc, and his Washing
ton correspondent on the one side, and Mr..
CowLEs, of the Cleveland Le0der, on the
other, as to whether General GRANT has
any strength in Ohio, but, what is pity,
a little i'll blood seems to be entering into
the controversy. Mr. SMITH was in Wash
ington during the session Of the Repubi-
can National Committee in the interest of
Cincinnati as the place for holding the next
National Convention. That proposition,
however, was rejected, under the prescrip-
tion, perhaps by which BRANDRETH's pills
are administered" one is dosen While
here, Mr. SMITH fired off his mouth with a
perfect fusilade of old BRIsrow ammuni-
tion against General GRANT 1t being a
free country, this he had a perfect right to
do-though some Of his assumptions were,
perhaps, subject TO discount But no mat
ter-Mr. SNITHdid not transcend the bounds
of personal right in the exercise of free
speech, leaving his apparent exaggerations
on certain points out Of the question
Soon after Mr. SMITH had left, Mr. CowLEs,
of the Cleveland Leader, came, and he be-
came also a victim to the merciless inter-
..;s,-.,, c,l bis ,noutl, ryau Io,J.J ,,,1 ,,,,.
fred off in an opposite direction from that
of Mr.. SMITH, The latter had declared in
substance that it would be dangerous fol
the Republicans TO nominate GRANT be.
cause the German element would be op.
posed to him, and that he could not carry
Ohio. He also stated that Ohio would be
opposed to that nomination.
Mr.. CowLEs took different view of the
question, stating in his interview that a
large majority of the Republicans of Ohio
were in favor of GRANT that he would
have the solid delegation Of that State on
the first ballot in the convention; that fol
the second choice the State would be di
j yided between BLAINE and SHERMAN. Ii
these conversations Mr. COwLEs declare
that Mr. SMITHS name was never men
toned General BOYNTON, the Washington

GARCELoN, THE HONEST MAN.

GABCELoN, who is now engaged in an
effort to subvert the popular will and steal
a sovereign State, is indorscd in certain
quarters as nm honest man-that is, as they
count honesty. This man GARCELoN, how
ever, is not entirely without record, which
in some degree may be regarded rs test of
his real character. When the Republicans
in the Maine Scnatc-and they were in n
mniority-were compelled year ago TO
choose between GARCELoN, the Democrat,
and SMITH, the Grcenbaclser, for the Gov
ernorship, they readily decided in favor Of
the former, Notwithstanding that he had
received the smallest popular vote of all
the candidates in the field This was done
for the reason that up 10 that time GAR
cELoN had an honest political reputation,
ard was regarded as most sound on the
financial question of the day. SMITH was
repudiated not only for his financial here
sizes, but for the reason that ho had on Il
former occasion proposed to sell out the
Grecuback party to the Republicans pro-
vided the price was up 10 his figure. In
1878 the coalition between the Democrats
and Greenbackers extended only TO few
towns and plantations. In the late election
the fusion was more general, though a fac
tion kept GARCELoN in the field for Gov
ernor to decrease the chances of an election
by the people, and bring the present con.
fused and lamentable condition of affairs
upon the State.
Now the people of Maine are beginning
to reap the fruits Of this unholy alliance in
consequence of disorder and peril, and the
Democrats, who were cntrapped by it
begin to appreciate the measure of immoral
ity and bad faith that has come of GARCE.
Ions plottings and duplicity. He has de
veloped in this deep-laid plot and schem,
of absolute wrong, characteristics that nevc
adorn the truly honest man. His pander
ing TO grcenback ambition through III,
most dishonorable methods mark him as
marplot, a trickster and a rogue. He may
through the lasting patience of the Repub
licans Of Maine, consummate his infamous
scheme, but i'll the event he will bt
stranded as base hypocrite and deep.dyeC
knave lie will be forced to hand TIN
Goyernorship over to SMITH, who of til,
two may be the more honest man, and il
this way he will stand before the world

Of pretended honesty will be too thin f
hide the real delormities of his character
His bill of honesty will go to protest, an,

grace. lie says he is proud of his acts, an,
in that he glorics in his own shame.

The Judiciary Committees Of the two

It's probable, however, that they will care
fully avoid doing this, for the evident rea-
son that those recommendations are of a
nature TO provoke the dire animosity of the
Bourbon majority of those committees. In
effect they provide for the enforcement oil
