day. Judge Stump drew the jurors fog The
Term. Yesterday. as follows:

FIRE.-Au alarm of fire was sounded on
east High street, ia this town. nu Friday
evening of last week, about 80 O'Clock.
The alarm was caused by coal oil lamp
being knocked off table at the residence
Of Rev. ID. G. Ridgway, by one of his little
boys. during his absences at church. This
would have doubtless resulted seriously had
not Mr.. Robert Hopkins aud 'Z,ck," the
boot polisLer. who were IN that locality at
the time heard the screams OF the children.
and the former gentleman rushed into The
house and threw the lamp out into the yard
while Zachariah smothereG the fire IN the
room with his coat aud pieces OF carpet.
The only damage was the burning OF the
carpet, floor and table cover. This alarm.
however, caused considerable excitement
in town, as becoming general, folks iipckei
hurridly Ia the scene from all parts OF the
town. The brave tir,mru got the old en-.
gIne ont and started for the fire but II was
extingulshed before their arrival there.

ABOUT HANGING.

The Philadelphia Le3gcr sensible re-
marks: 1t is too much to expect that even
tina best qualified Sheriff shall be COM
petent hangman by virtue of his Office:
and the bungling work that county Off
cials too often make of it is mere Il testi-
mony to their nervousness and dislike of
the business as men, than to their com
petence as eXecutioners. 1t is always ac-
counted 4 personal reproach, too, against
the Sheriff, as though he had been bred
up to the business and failed to take his
degree. So long as we continue to have
hangings it is not easy to see why the
Sheriff might not have skilled hand to
arrange the rope. Not all iailors have
the necessary experience in the dreadful
business, and SO the spectacle of what
is euphOniously called awkward" exc
cutions goes on. Poor wretcles are
checked to death by bungling hands. or
after succeeding trials such a> at SmetIl-
port on Thursday make their horrible |
exit from the world. Sometimes it takes
al hands, sheriff, Tailor, and the condemn
ed man, too. to get the reps right. The

THE SIZE OF THE WORLD.

Father Adam would be more astoniSh-
Ell than when he first found himself out
side the gates of the Garden of Paradise
with the taste of a bitter-apple in his
mouth. could he glance over the world to-
day and estimate TIE number of his pro
geny. What, are all these mine? he
would eXclaim, as he gazed in astonish-
ment at the 1919, 600, 900 blacks of Africa.
Then he would become bewilicred as he
discovered that he has S24 ,O00, 600 child
ren in Asia, 800, 600, 600 III Europe, 4000,-
900 in Oceanica, and So, 000, 900 in Ameri-
ca. He would doubtless weep upon learn
ing that some 1,421 ,000, 900 people are
wearing out their lives in work because
he took the apple from the hand Of Eve.
But when told that some 80, 100 persons
die every day. he would console himself
with the thought that the end of human
suffering cannot be far distant. That
consolation would be swept away. how
ever by the discovery that 104,S00 child
rem are born each day, and he would turn
away from the earth, fearing that the
very ground itself might change into a
mass ofstruggling humanity. Doubtless
the greatest Of all grsndiathers would
suspect that all the daughters of Eve
must have brought forth twins at each
birth since the time o. his death. Indeed
the world is vast. when measured by
inhabitants.

mand far greater respect from them than
any reached in Colorado

IF the Republican Congressman have
any political foresight they will take
timely warning from the fact that Wade
Hampton not only favors Senator Ray
ards resolution for redeeming and retir-
ing the greenbacks, but gives rs his
reasonS-as reported by the U6rdldS
Washington correspondence convic-
ton that ''the Democratic South ought
especially to rally to the support of Mr..
Bayard's resolution. because it opens the
way for them to etfectualiy allay the sus
picions of the North against the South. "
He believes that Northern capital has
become alarmed lest the South, if the
Democratic party should come into power
should insist on huge imitation and
watering of the currency as a means Of
scaling and to a great extent regulating
war debts and private debts, and that
the Bayard resolution, if it had 10 other
Importance would be measure of great
political moment. because sincere and
Jealous Southern support of it and its
passage by Southern votes would allay
all these Northern suspicious" In other
words, it is the obvious policy of the
South. which needs credit and money, to
seek an alliance with the capitalist States
and the Southern politicians are quick to
see that if the Republicans throw away
all the political capital they have made
by insisting Oh a sound currency, New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut can
be easily carried for any tirst-class hard
money Democratic candidate for the
Presidency. 1t is to be hoped that before
the Congressional Committee that went
to Missouri to bury Mr.. Lay return to
the Capital, the Western congressman
may discover that whereas they have a
tirst-rate fighting chance to carry the
Northwest on the issue Of q sound cur
Iency, they have no more chance of elect
ing d President by policy of silence
than they have of carrying the solid
South.

NATIONAL TRADE MA KKS.

The Supreme Court decided at WASH
ington recently that legislation by Con-
gress for the regulation of trade marks
is unconstitutional. 1t was urged in de-
fence of such legislation that Congress
has power to pass laws ''to promote the
progress of science and the useful arts by
securing for limited times to authors and
inventors the exclusive right to their re-
spective writings and discoveries The
Court decided that a trade mark has no
necessary connection with inventions or
discoveries. 1t was also argued that the
Constitution provides that Congress shall
have power ito regulate commerce with
foreign nations and among the several
States and with the Indian tribes The
Court declared that the Legislation in
question does not limit the use of trade
marks to Interstate or international
commerce, as it should do if based upon
the constitutional provision cited: nor
does that clause OF the Constitution bring
"lIIlE Tue collIol OF Congress every
species Of property uset! in commerce.
While denying the cUnstitutionality OF
legislation by Congress for the regulation
Of trade marks. the Court desired to leave
untouched the question Of the right OF
Congress TO regulate the use of trade
marks by treaties with other nations.
The United States have such treaties with
several nations, and others may bc made
from time to tine. No opinion as to the
right Of the government to enter into
such treaties has yet been given. Ii is
simply affirmed that Congress has no
power to pass laws for the protection CT
the rights of persons to the use of any
particular trade mark. The decision is
an important. and it may be a surprising
one, and therefore it should be thorough
ly understood.
