Patent Rulings.

The commissioner of patents has made the
following rulings:
"The law contemplates that patent shall
be granted for each distinct and independent
invention, not for a multiplicity of inven-
tions Where there can be no question that
there are two independent inventions en-
of the patent law, to grant patent covering
both would be violation of duty on the part
of the officer granting the patent and a viola
tion of the law when it was granted.
although party may be first to conceive
and embody an invention in practical form,
where it appears that his invention was laid
aside, lost sight of forgotten and abandoned,
and other means adopted for securing the
same result, he forfcits his right in favor of a
subsequent and independent inventor. His
original efforts must be regarded as an aban-
doned experiment, and cannot be revived
after the subsequent invention of the same
device by another"

Nel0 York Commercial advertiser.
The Philadelphia Press has at last been forced
ltoTeply to the charge that the reweighing of the
mails, by which the country has lost SsO3 49737,
was done in legal form. This has never been
denied. The charge however that the mails
reweighed to satisfy the editor of the Press at
an unusual and unnecessary time is not met aud
that is the most essential point. The fact is the
mail had been weighed at the proper time and
under the contracts then made the Pennsylvania
railway could not see its way to carrying the
Philadelphia morning papers into Harrisburg
before the New York papers arrived. Some
new scheme was necessary, so 1t was
determined to order reweghing at the time
when the business of the postofice was heaviest.
This was done; and under the new order the
Pennsylvania road was enabled to extend better
facilities to the Philadelphia papers. There was
no demand from the public for the change. The
New York papers got into Harrisburg quite early
enough; the change was simply to benefit the
Press, and that change, according to the records
of the posoiice department. has cost the govern
ment sSO3 407.37. 1t would be supposed that in
return for the favor extended to it the Philadel-
phia PusSs would pay the government postage on
the papers SENT but instead Of doing that the
papers are sent by express, so the consequential
loss to the government by this proceeding is more
than the sum noted above.
These are the true facts in the case, which can
not be denied by any flood of words. The mails
were reweighed at q time when there was no ne
cessity for it, when thcre was no demand for it.,

as shamelessly robbed as If a cracksman had
broken into public repository and took this
money away. To show that 1t was done under
