referring TO the report of the Secretary of
the Interior Department ii will be seen that
the Patent Office did II large and profitable
business during the last fiscal year. More
than 10000 applications were received, more
than 10000 patents granted, and there was
net revenue to the government, over all
expenses, of nearly 100000. So the apple
parer that wont peel, and the abortve fly
trap, and the perpetual motion machine that
is perpetual in every thing bit motion, and
all the thousand other short-lived products
OF inventive genius that appear every year
in Washington have their uses. They do no
harm to the useful inventions, and they help
Uncle Sam considerably with his annual

Nine Sara Bernhard, who is at present
creating such an excitement in the theatrical
world, made remark a few days ago in
which, il we have not been a false observer
of fashionable life, there is more of truth
than poetry. In speaking of her illegiti-
mate son, who is sixteen years of age and is
now engaged in travelling with her, said,
81 could have strangled him when an infant
and found favor with society, preferred not
to do it and thus found favor with God"
She might have gone further and said
would have married could marriage, like
baptism, cover past sins. Confucius wrote,
"the ways of virtue are more pleasant than
ways of vice"

The miserable old failure at the head of
the Navy department, Secretary Thompson,
favors the policy of governmental aid to

The defeat of one of several Presidential
Electors ina State is an extraordinary occur
renee which has been officially declared TO
have happened in California. Daniel 5.
Terry is the Democratic Elector thus "left
out in the cold" Had the recent election
been as close as was that of 1876, Judge
Terry's defeat might have changed the com.
plexion of onr history for the next four
years. There can be little doubt that the
causes of this defeat lie far back of the cleo
ton and can be traced TO the killing Of cna.
tor David 5. Broderick in duel years ago
by Judge Terry. The Judge was indicted
for murder after the result of the duel, but
the case never came ON for trial, the wal
breaking out Judge Terry joined the Con.
iederate array and remained until the clos,
OF the war.

Senator Garland, of Arkansas, threw a
fire-brand into the Senate last week by pre-
pairing resolution which called on the Mil
itary Committee to report on the ACCESSIBILITY
of transferring the Arsenal grounds in Little
Rock to the State. He explains ii as re-
spouse, or opening wedge to the Presidents
recommendation that the various military
posts should be abandoned when not need
ed for military purposes. It is well known
that in various perts olthe country army gen
tlemen are roughing it ON full pay and no
duty to perform, including the finest perqui-
sites the land affords. The Senator thinks
the time about arrived, in view of the civil
zation surrounding many of the posts, that
the Presidents views should be sustained,
hence his opening wedge. II successful, it
will be followed by many others.

An agent of the wealthy spectator, Jim
Keen, is negotiating to purchase the splen-

Shenandoah county, Va, of which we gave
description during the past summer. The
sum is not to exceed two hundred thousand
dollars. If we remember correctly the Gen

Ohio politicians bring to Washington the
information that Secretary Sherman's cleo
ton to the U. S. Senate is foregone con-
clusion. Some of them go so far as to say
it is entirely probable that his name will be
the only one which will go before the Legis'
lature-let all the evils come at once.

Hayes has been President like the old
Celestial Emperor of Japan from
the world His wife, who is said to be a
beautiful and spirited woman, has also
withdrawn herself for the last year or more,
and the national administration of the coun-
try has beon small private family, obscured
from description and contact. The:instincts
of Hayes have always been of a respectable
nature, but there is nothing so weak as re-
spectability without individuality. Presi-
dent Lincoln could violate every propriety
and yet nation kneeled around his grave.
Mr.. Hayes has never violated single pro-
priety, but he will retire to the shades of
private life with but scant worship.

There is variety of opinions as TO the
propriety of Representative Hurd's tariff
resolutions. Many politicians are disposed
to look kindly nsthem as the means of
bringing the Republican Congressman face
to face with the professions they made in
the last weeks OF the Presidential campaign.
Without being especially particular about
the principle involved, they want to see how
statesmen look when they are squirming.

To the ordinary Frenchman the End
climate appears especially propitIous b

when statistics are brought forward to NJ
that the crime of feiO de Sc is more freen'
IN France than in Great Britain. The y
recently published figures, too, show h
suicide is on the increase in France. Ri
the Franco-German war the average num,
of suicides only slightly exceeded sod
year, and now they exceed 5000. The
crease in the rate directly after the war
generally noticed, but was not consiol
extraordinary, looking at the public and,
yate disasters suffered during the time lo'
tiles lasted, and, indeed, afterwards; but \
ten years after the war, there are no sympI
of a diminution. DR.. Decaisne, who

that in Paris there are three times as N,
suicides committed as in the country h
most of the men who destroy tbemseive]
bachelors ; that the spring is the time Of \
when suicide Is most frequent, and that N
by hanging is usually resorted to 4
any other mode Of self destruction, as NJ
considered the most expeditions. Sons
the statistics published before the fall Of

Novel Electric Lamp.

An ingenious device, says the Electrician,
has been invented for the use Of smokers. 1t
is An apparatus to obtain a light, 1t consists
of a small battery with a short piece of plati-
mum in the circuit. Opposite the platinum is
a nozzle from which a jet of gaseous benzoline
is thrown. Between the nozzle and metal is
a small cotton wick. On pressing a trigger
the jet of benzoline is turned on a shutter"
in front of the platinum is opened, and the
battery contact made. The metal becomes
incandescent, the jet catches fire and infames
the wick, which continues to burn with a
small fame until blown out. or course the
wick is in a reservoir of oil like that of any
other lamp. Cigars lighted by electricity will
doubtless be a daily delight to the lovers OF
the fragrant weed.

In his address at Galveston, Texas, on
"Wednesday, during a reception rendered him
by the citizens of rat town, General Grant
studiously avoided referring to political
affairs. He confined himself rather to an
immodest though indirect panegyric on
Ulysses S. Grant, by stating what a wise and
patriotic citizen a mali becomes who has Ell
comprised the earth III his travels and finally
returns to spend the remainder of his life
with his fellow countrymen. This is
precisely what the ex- President has done. and
being apprehelsive that his Republican fellow
citizens are not over-confident of his pa
triotic motives and his ability to engineer
national affairs during another lease of power
he took the earliest occasion to notify
them that he knows more than he did four
years ago and that he IS better qualified to
conduct the government in a patriotic, honest
and efficient manner than when formerly lie
was chief magistrate of the nation. 1t is sim
cerely to be hoped that his intimation is based
on fact, but it is more sincerely to be hoped
that the people at the approaching contest
will give him no opportunity to experiment.
He might possibly be mistaken.

Prof. Benjamin Pierce says he is fully
suaded that the great comet seen in 81
America recently, and for which an an1l
outlook has been ever since in this NJ
sphere, is the comet of 1S43 once more i
visit to the SUN. If this is so, and if
comet becomes visible here, the year 4
stands a chance of being memorable
astronomical annals. The comet of 1873,
one of the most wonderful ever seen.
stunning that Prof. Pierce's computation dt
comets previous returns is correct, it has
an astonishing history. In LOG it blazed i
a brightness that was compared to that Of,
sur itself; in 1902 it was so brilliant as ID
visible at MONDAY ; in 1454 it is said to-
eclipsed the moon; in 1850 it spread ts1
among the ignorant throughout the wa
and in 1913 it gave aid and comfort tI
Millerites, and helped to alarm those who
tened to their predictions of a speedy buri
up of the world. If it should return thi, /
with its accustomed style it will confirm
faith of those who read in the hidden ci

property. E Il
Sixth-Tbat the government shall retain
the title to the soil.
S~eventh-That citizens of the United States
may be permitted to cut and remove from any
public lands, other than those classified as
Climber lands" such timber as they may re-
quire for agricultural, building, mining or
other purposes, but not for the purpose of sell
ling.
It is believed that the above, and other rec
concentrations of a similar character are
made with a view to the preservation and re-
production of the forests of the west. 1t is
altogether probable, too that some additional
provisions may be suggested to prevent dep
relations upon timber lands not subject to
entry or sale as above. ....,u.
.l..s .r LANDS.
TIL present multifarious and conflicting
law and regulations respecting the disposal
of mineral lands in the west, and the endless
litigation to which they have led, make this
subject the most difficult of any with which
the commission has had to deal. From what
is known Of the views of individual members
of the commission, especially those of director
King and Major Powell, 1t is believed that
the recommendation relating the disposal
of mineral lands was carefully weighed be-
fore submission to congress. In general terms
the SeuJlculcl lldIDcu UtlIctt Ildt, ii IulIlllR
is to be continued and conducted as a legiti-
mate business, exacting laws and customs
must be radically changed. 1t is believed,
therefore, that among the recommendations
of the commission regarding the disposal of
mineral lands the following will be adhered
to-: ....
First--The time during which a prospector
or discoverer shall be able to hold his claim
by a possessory title shall be fixed and limited
bylaw. ...
Second-That all local organizations and
regulations respecting mining titles shall be
abolished, and the sole jurisdiction of all
questions relating therein be reserved by the
United States.
Third-That the slode location,' which
permits a discoyerer to follow a lode any dis
lance in any direction, whether within the
boundaries of his surface location or not be
repealed.
Fourth-That hereafter every mining claim
shall comprise a certain number of feet in
breadth and length IN the surface, and that
suhterranean property rights shall not extend
beyond the surface boundaries thus fixed.
The commission refrain for the present from
making any recommendations as to the area
which each location may comprise.
Fifth-That a system Of official survey and
mineral inspection be adopted to prevent
blackmail and robbery, and to obviate the
necessity of legal contests before claims ale

A short time ago that truthful and reliable
representative Of the mining interest, the
New York Mining Record, published a hear
say statement to the effect that the Penobscot
mine near Helena, the company being bur-
dened with debt, had been sold by the Sheriff
for $4,000. Our Helena contemporary the
Herald, whose editor has abundant OPP
portunity to ascertain the facts, characterizes
the statement of the Record as a gross false
hood. The mine has not been sold, nori is there
any likelihood that it will be except by the
free consent of the owners, and for a good
round sum. The company has a large reserve
fund on hand and recent developments in the
mine are of a very encouraging and s~atisfac-
tory nature, giving promise of early dividends.
The Record should take its own advice and
tell the truth occasionally.

Consul-General Balley's dispatch from CT

Consul-General Bailey's dispatch from Chi
ia to the State Department in regard to
commerce etwee the United States and
that country corrects a very popular error
which those who oppose the abrogation of the
Burlingame treaty would do well to reflect
upon. 1t has been frequently stated by the
defenders Of Chinese immigration that In
commercial relations China is entirely indie
pendent of the United States whereas this
country is not independent of China, and
it has been argued from this that if the treaty
should be abrogated and Chinese imInigra-
ton prohibited, between the two
countries would entirely cease, and that the
interest Of this country only would be made
to suffer thereby. The ConsulGeneral's
statement, however, shows this idea to be
fallacious for though certain interests of the
United States might be injured to some extent
by the absolute stoppage of between
the two countries it is quite evident that the
celestial empire would be inconvenienced
fully as much as America would. For in
stance, the Consul-General states that China
is entirely dependent on our Pacific Coast for
its supply Of lumber for building and manu-
featuring purposes. This being the case, the
benefits of our with China are by
no means one-sided and it is of sufficiently
vital importance to the foreign country to
render absurd the assertion made by the east
ern friends of Chinese immigration that an
attempt to modify or abrogate the existing
treaty will terminate commercial intercourse
between the United States and China.
