SAFES BLOWN Wednesday
night thieves entered the Office OF
Messrs. /. l.. Bender & Bro, lumber
merchants, and drilling hole in the
safe, burst the door from its hinges by
the explosion of powder or dynamite.
About $50 were secured. The report
of the explosion was heard but at
tributed to railroad torpedo, which
are used on the road as signals. The
parties were even seen, but supposed
TO be some one connected with the
lumber yard.
The same night the Office of Messrs.
Frazer & Bishop, grain and produce
merchants, opposite the b. & o.
freight depot, was entered and the
safe forced open by the aid of powder
lock, and the cavity filled with pow
der sufficient to tear and shatter what
was thought to be a burglar-proof
door. A stool standing before the
safe was broken up, and fragment
forced in a creyice of secretary near
by so tightly that it could not be with
drawn by the hand. The inner door
resisted their efforts, but with sharp
fool they succeeded in cutting the riv-
cts. The books and checks were I'M
disturbed, but SIPS in change was
faken. These were bold robberies, and
It is hard to say whether perpetrated
by professional burglars or sneak
thieves. but every effort should be
made at detection.

On Wednesday last, Edward Goswell
an employee in the telegraph depart
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company, while engaged in trans
ferring the wires from an old pole to a
new pole, at the east end of. the Har-
per's Ferry bridge, met with an acct
dent which resulted in his death ON
Thursday, at his home near Wood
stock, Howard County, Md. Goswell
had assembled the old pole to transfer
the wires when the pole broke and he
was with it, precipated to the ground a
distance of about thirty feet produc-
ing the result above noted. From the
occurrence ofthe accident to the time of
his death he was unconscious and
never spoke. He was a fireman on
the road up to the time ofthe strike"
some years since, at the conclusion of
which he was discharged. He was
about 40 years of age, and leaves a
widow with ten children. The latter
will be benefciaries of the Relief AS

In closing his argument on the contested
election cases, Mr.. Burrows made use of the
following impressive language:
I'VE want an honest ballot and a fair
count. The republic could withstand the
shock of revolution; il could overcome the
invasion OF foreign foes: it could endure the
murder of its executive heads, but ii could
not long survive assassination of its sovereign
will at the ballot box. Against this high crime
aimed at q nations life, / enter nation s
eternal protest"
These words should be read and remember
ed 10y every man who desires to see republi-
can government perpetuated in this country.
When our elections shall have degenerated
into farce, and are carried by tissue ballots,
as in the Mackey-Dibble case, by counting
ont as in the Lynch-Chalmers case, or by
any other kind of fraud, and instead of reflect
ing and declaring the will of the people, are
result of ballot box manipulating, and the
wicked scheming of demagogues, then we are
on the high road to political anarchy and ruin
And yet we find the democratic party in
Congress, and in its press, maintaining and
sustaining the most glaring and clearly pro.
ven frauds by every means within its grasp
resorting to filibustering and blocking the
wheels of legislation, in order to keep mem.
tiers in seats to which they held not shadow
of title, and which were obtained by means
that would mantle the cheek of an honorable
man with blush of shame.

Bro. Hall, of the WatervleitiRecord,w was a
little of in his legal disquisition on the fish
law, last week. We call his attention to the
amendment of Sec. 2Os7, c. L., 1871, found
or page 100, Laws of 1879. He will observe
by referring to that brilliant specimen of
legislation, that there is no law to prevent
netting, spearing etc. during the months of
May and June. An effort was made in 1881,
at the solicitation of parties in this county to
restore the old law and a bill to that effect
passed the Senate but died in the House du-
ring the last days of the session.
The entire law might as well have been re-
pealed as to be amended in the way it is.
In our opinion, speariug and netting ought
TO be prohibited at all times. If this were
done, and the law in regard to fish shutes and
ladders were properly enforced our streams
and lakes would abound in fish as they did
when the country was new, and more good
would be accomplished than we are likely tc
TO ever receive by the costly system of artiti.
cial breeding and planting.

The hard work by which the Burrows bill
to prevent black-mailing operations under
the patent laws was advanced to special con-
sideration and pushed through the house,
will all be practically thrown away if the
senator's from Michigan and other states
most affected 10y the bill do not give il
similar support in the senate. The bill was
very successfully handled in the house 10y
Mr.. Burrows, but il has been allowed by
members of the senate to drop out of sight.
Under the lead of the Scientific Amcricdn
the entire patent right following and many
manufacturing interests are commencing to
concentrate their efforts against it. 1t has
one of the most powerful influences to fight
and the vigorous public sentiment which the
bill represents must now show itself more
forcibly than ever. We will now have an
opportunity to see if the Michigan members
in the senate can overcome the opposition as
successfully as the Michigan member in the
house.-KaIdmasoo Telegraph.

While the veterans were returning from
the cemetery from decoration services on
the 30th of last month, we heard man, a
stranger TO us, commenting on the organiza-
ton known IA the Grand Army of the Re
public. His remarks were to the effect that
the institution was a wrong thing and ought
not to be permitted, although he admitted
there might be some things about il which
he did not understand. No doubt there is.
and he will probably never be any wiser in
that direction. We venture the statement
that this man who was thus advertising his
ignorance and folly, never did any fighting
during the war, unless it was oe the kind
known and well remembered as fire in
tie rear" The old soldiers have we'll earned
the privilege of associating themselves to-
gether for the purpose of preserving the
memory of those dark days that tried mems
souls, for the purpose of renewing the friend
ships which were formed in camp and field,
cemented in the smoke and flame of battle,
or firmly welded 10y suffering in hospital or
rebel prison pen, and no sensible man would
seek 10 deny them this privilege. The order
IS not, as some seem to think, of political
character. Men of all shades of political
opinion are welcomed within its fold. The
one thing needful is that they should be able
10 show clean war record and an honorable
discharge from the army or navy of our
country.

EDrToR TRUE NoETHERNER:
The above is the headline TO an article in
last weeks .idcdncc, in which an effort is
made by its editor, with the aid of an article
quoted from the Scientific American" to
show that the recent legislation, engineered
through the House 10y the representative
from this district, to protect innocent pur-
chasers of patented articles, is unconstitu-
tional in this that il takes away from in
ventors the protection the constitution and
former enactments threw about the property
rights which are admitted TO exist in their
inventions. The object of this discussion by
journals in this district, is not TO guard the
rights Of inventors, but 10 present Mr.. Bur
rows to the public as an incompetent legisla-
tor. II will be observed that these gentle
men are willing that the thousands of farmers
and others who have been compelled TO pay
large royalties to inventors, after they have
paid full and adequate consideration for
the article purchased in good faith in "open
market" should be further heeced or put to
great expense in litigation in order that q
narrow and personal warfare may be waged
against our representative, under the pretext
of defending the constitution and the rights
of patentees. But is the law unconstitution-
al? II it is then Mr.. Burrows l. not alone
in misapprehending the scope of corcre '
sional power over this important subject, for
the bill was passed Dy an overwhelming ma
jority of the members of the House and
received the support of many of the fore
most statesmen OF the present age. That
the exclusive right is conferred upon the
inventor, his heirs executors and assigns TO
make, vend and use, that which has been
invented by him, is not denied. But be-
cause this is so does il follow that he must
ReceSsGrf'y he permitted to get his redress
for the violation of his rights against the
innocent? Is il not more equitable and lust
that he should be compelled 10 pursue his
remedy against the wrong doer who invades
his rights as this law forces him to do, than
to be allowed to disregard the wrong doer
entirely, and seek recovery against the in
nocent purchaser who perchance, is more able
to pay and less inclined to litigate, the often
times Outrageous demand? Then again this
law precludes the possibility of the owner of
q patent, sending emissaries through the
country to. dispose of his rights, in order
that he may follow in their wake and reap
the reward of good, round royalties. II does
not deprive the inventor of his remedy as is
claimed by these learned disquisitors but
limits him in his right to recover for in
fringements to the guilty parties. 1t is our
humble opinion that the law invades no
property right of the inyentor. but simply
limits his remedy in such way as to pro-
tect good faith purchasers for n full con.
sideration, of articles found in the market
with no means of knowing that in so doing
thsy are violating the rights Of an unknown
Inventor.

The first political contest of the campaign
of 80 took place in Oregon, resulting in q
complete victory for the Republicans. This
was unexpected. Oregon gave less than 700
plurality for Garfield in 1880, and it had
been claimed by Democrats and tacitly con-
ceded by Republicans that a Democratic
victory was probable there. This opinion
was based upon the fact that the State at
that the Chinese agitation had given the
Democrats the advantage in the present cleo
ton. If, as is probable the Legislature is
Republican, Mr.. Grover will step down and
out, to be succeeded by Republican in the

Washington, jefferson, Jackson, Madison,
Webster, and other great men advocated pro-
tective tariffs. The sagacious Franklin urged
on farmers the benefits of home manufactures.
That friend of the people, Abraham Lincoln,
declared himself an advocate of protective
tariff. Frederick List, in Germany, the
French Statesman Theirs, and other eminent
foreigners held like opinions. Professor
Reuleaux, President of the German COM
mission at our Centennial Exposition, went
home and said: 1.-The present condition of
American manufactures shows the fallacy of
the free-trade doctrine that the productions
of a country are raised in price 10y protective
duties What pity it is that these great
men were so ignorant. Some free-trader
could greatly enlighten Washington and
Jackson on tariff robbery! The free-trade
movement is ''run" in the interest of foreign
manufacturers and their importing agents,
and of political demagogues.
Tariff for revenue only ID the pet idea of
free-traders. 1t is a British notion, and they
but echo a British voice in advocating it.
The English raise revenues of about $780,
100000 annually from duties on tea, coffee,
sugar, tobacco and like articles which they
do not and cannot produce at home, and ad-
NIT woolens, cottons, iron and like articles
which they manufacture largely free of duty.
We are asked to adopt the same plan or
some approach toward it, If we do, our Brit
ish cousins hope, with their great capital and
cheap labor, to break down our manufactures,
get control of our markets, and then charge
us what prices they please for their goods.
A London journal says: The success of the
Free Trade League in the United States
would largely increase our American trade.
So we have tariff for revenue only
praised in persuasive tones.
Protective tariffs pay the best revenue, be-
cause the country prospers the bes. with that
policy.
