Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The large photo
lithographing firms of New York and Bos-
ton are already laying out programme for
destroying the peace of mind of the mem
bers of the close corporation which has re-
manned in undisturbed possession of the
photo-lithographic work of the Patent Of
fee for so long. This job is immensely
profitable, netting the contractor and his
friends between $50 600 and 800 900 year on
government work, and private orders that
come to him by reason of his connection
with the Patent Office. Under the law the
Commissioner of Patents and Secretary of
the Interior are obliged to give the work to
Washington parties, provided it can be done
at reasonable rates." As there is only one
Washington firm that can do the work, this
establishment has practically its own way,
and the contracts are given it, without con-
test, no bids being advertised for Outside
firms say they will do the work for 10 to Is
per cent. less, and do it in Washington, and
that they will compel Congress to amend the
law and throw it open to competition.

Mr.. Coleman stated that he could not go
further upon this branch of the case until

1t was suggested that the commission visit
Boston and other cities for the purpose of
taking testimony. Without deciding whether
they would accept affidavits in evidence or
visit the different points to take testimony,
the commission adjourned till Wednesday.

NEW YoRx GOVERNOR I'M TROUBLE.

A recent dispatch says: The
Times. Tribune and Herald lecture
Governor Cleveland on his first ap-
pointmcnts. The Times says: The
troubles of Cleveland have begun
before he has take possession of the
governors chair. The removal of a
pardon clerk of 12 years experience,
whom Cornell, the most chary OF
governors in the matter of pardons,
pronounced exceptionally well fitted
for,the position, has led to an unfav-
orable comparison between the pro-
fessions of the governor and his
course as foreshadowed IN this early
exercise o4spower. The appointee is
said to have no special fitness for the
place and to be known chiefly as a
protege of Cleveland.
The Tribune says: Governor-elect
Cleveland made his first serious err
or in the appointing of, officers yes
terday. Some of The persons whom
he appointed as members Of his staff
are not above criticism, butsFthe ap-
pointment of Goodman Brown is
palpably one that cannot be defended.
The Herald: utters characteristic
warning against needing the advice
of party managers: 'That sort of
advice only wastes their time. Let
them serve the people. That IS the
main thing. Parties just now are of
little account. That is the reason
why Cleyeland and Pattison were
elected. The grand old democratic
party is, if anything, a4ittle deader
than the old republican party.'

LIQUOR BILL.

1t is confident'r stated by partie
J wsho are said to Know bat there are
a great deal of misrepresentation O
facts by the distillers in their appea
for relief by the Sherman bill through
the two years extension OF time fol-
payment of the tax on goods ir
warehouse. The talk about the
eighty or ninety millions of gallons
which must be taken out soon If The
bill should not pass, thereby bank
ruptlng the trade and affecting finan
-eial circles generally. is untrue. There
is no danger ofa panic during the
coming year on account of whisky,
and there are no eighty or ninety
millions, nor even half that, Of liquor
in bond upon which tax must be
paid during the coming season: The
whisky which must be unbonded
during 1888 amounts to only IA, ,ooO,-
900 gallons, on which the tax
amounss TO 81, 100000. The whisky
men themselves. in their representa-
tions to congress, claim that the con-
sumption by the country of their
goods is fifteen million gallons per
year, which is more by fifteen million
gallons, obviously, than the amount
upon which they are asked to pay a
tax. During the entire year of 1888,
in fact, distillers can handle their
goods with ease, provided they can
induce con cress to pass law which
will benefit them by allowing them
to hold spirits in store with tax un-
paid for year longe.:. during which
time it would double in value. This
is the secret to the whole movement
of whisky going out of bond. They
have not more than they need, bnt
if they can hold it at government
two years longer and double
their money it-would be very profit
able legislation for distlllers and IN
the meantime the country would be
with so much more COM
pound whiskies while this bourbon
is getting additional age.

Benton County

| The southernmost of the chain of west
side counties is also the largest, says the
| Oregonian 1t extends north and south
about so miles and east and west about go,
| occupying span between the Willamette
| river and the ocean, east and west. 1t is
less thickly settled than any other of the
west-side counties, but is perhaps richer
| than any in natural resources. Its eastern
third is level alternate prairie and light
| black land, and the remainder is timbered
Hill land. admirably adapted for pasture.
| The level land of Benton is almost exactly
like the level lands of the other west-side
counties. 1t is well watered and timbered,
| rich in soil-in short, farmers paradise.
1t is thickly settled and has been for many
years, and its principal product is wheat.
Stock, vegetables, fruit, ETC., are grown
here as III Yamhill and Polk, but not as an
independent and special crop.
The western part of Benton county is
probably the best stock section in Oregon,
though comparatively little stock is raised
there The hills, originally covered with
dense forests, have been burned over and
are now comparatively open. The debris
of the burned forest has enriched the soil to
= highly productive state and peculiarly
adapted it for the various ''tame" grasses
The hills are scanned with creek and river
bottoms which yield hay, or in fact, any
thing planted in great abundance. The
climate is softened ocean climate and the
extremes of heat and cold are not known
Shows are rare and never lie on the gro und
more than two days together. Benton has
a fair share of coast country and naturai
harbor at Yaquina bay. Its western part,
rticularly the Yaquina country, is rapidly
filling up with immigrants.
Benton is just now the most progressive
county in western Oregon. The Oregon
Pacific Railroad Co., is building line from
its eastern to its western extremes, ternin-
ating at Yaquina bay, and the enterprise
has put new life into the county. The
company proposes to extend its line across
to an eastern connection, and the people of
Benton confidently hope to see Ya1uina bay
one of the chief foreign shipping points in
the state.

Asllers Of Toy PistoIss get Their Deserved
Punishment. 7> .-s1

The supreme court of Indiana has
furnished to the sellars of toy pistols
come laws which will please them less
than it will please society. Two little
Indiana boys, aged ten and twelve
years, had a toy pistol, and bought
some ball cartridges for it of dealer;
the latter instructed the boys how to
use them. They were used with
such effect that one of the boys was
killed by the other. The father
brought action for damages against
the dealer, got judgment and was
sustained, as to the law of the case,
by the highest court of the State
Standard.
