Office. This Office is not only sup
ported by the fees paid by ipven.
tors for Patents, but it yields a
large yearly surplus to the U. S.
Treasury. Yet i. is not uncom-
mon for an Inventor TO have to
wait from two to six months De
fore his Invention car be examined
and passed upon. 0Ter one hun
dred Examiners are appointed for
this work and By proper Industry
ana attention to the duties for
which they are paid With the in
ventors money, they could easily
keep the work up 10 date. That
This is far from impossible is prov
ed By some few Of the Examiners
who did it, and have time to spare;
bat The majority, knowing well
that they hold their places by
political favor, are, as a rule, idle
and negiectfnE, spending the time
daring o!fce hours in reading
newspapers, gossipping, and talk
ing politics. The number Of ap.
p.icatiors .o7 patent last month
was greater than was ever made

perfectly seonra ,c their places
through the influence Of half a

afford to defy him in his Efforts TO
make them attend to the work for

tor. This is a plain, uncxaggera.
ted statement Of the condition OF

LETTER,

From our Regular Carrsspondsnt}.
WASHINGTON, February 5, 1882.
The Senate made much progress
with the tariff bill last week that
those who have been least hopefn!
Of its passage by this Congress
have taken heart again. On the
democratic side OF the chamber
the impression seems to prevail
that the Senate may pass the bill
by the last of this week, probably
not until the very last day Of the
week. The stubborn contests that
have marked the committee Of the
whole on certain provisions will
be renewed in tho Senate when
the bill shall have been reported
back. The amendment placing
lumber on the free list will, per.
haps, be opposed with even mere
vigor than i. was in committee.
The iron schedule and the sun.
dries also contain provisions
which will lcad to renewed debate,
and upon the whole, If the hill
gets through the Senate this week,
no doubt its friends will be sal;s-
fed.
The tariff debate in Congress
shows conclusiyely that local in.
teresis, after all, exercise a power
full influence upon the minds and
votes Of Congressman. The tariff
reformer who in a general way
declares himself in favor of a re
duction, halts when some prodnc-
ton Of his own state is reached.
a2d when it comes to q vote he is
found on the side of protection: as
far as that production or industry
ia which his constituents are in
terested is concerned.
The ten or fifteen thousand
Government clerks are having a
time Of it this winter. First
came the civil service bill which
proposes an examination to weed
out the most iiliterate of them ;
next Secretary Folger's rules
which required them to be at their

and worst a bill has been fo-mu-
lated in Congress which enacts
that they must get to work by

is much better to have it expedited

clerks, than by employing an addi.
