NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, April 49, 1894

since he represents strong political power ana
can urge his claims theoretically, it is the part
of wisdom for the owners of patcnt-rlghts 10
consider the feasibility of Il compromise.
Mr.. j. c. Clayton n patent lawyer of this
city, and familiar with the whole subject,
has suggested q new bill, which he thinks
may meet the difficulty. II is avowedly framed
"for the purpose of protecting innocent pU-
chascrs of patented articles or processes 1t
provides that Any person who shall sell any
"aticle or process described aud claimed IN
@any unexpirod letters patent without the law
full authority of the patentee or his assigns or
@ncensees, and who shall at or before such sale
falsely represent to the purchaser that there is
ono nexpircd patent covering or claimed to
cover said article or process, shau be gullty bt
"a misdemcanor." The penalty upon con-
viction shall be imprisonment not exceeding a
year. or a fine not less than $500 nor mo1e than
49,. 600. or both fine and imprisonment. 1t is
made the duty of the United States District
Attorney for the district in which such INSIDE
meanor may occur, upon presentation of proof,
to bring il before the Grand Jury, and upon in
dctmcnt to prosecute the indicted person or
persons. When a fine is imposed, One-half OF it
Is 10 De O0lu 10 tlic phtcnttc NhOSc IlSilo H"N U
been misreprescnted or denied.
This act appears in many respects calculated
to meet the situation better than the one which
the IIoEse recently passed. and which has
already been favorably reported on in the Sem
ate. 1t protects the innocent purchaser and it
fixes the responsibility upon those who under
take to tamper with existing patentrights. By
rendering the business of dealing in fraudulent
or stolen patents dangerous, it affords protection
to the inventor at the same time that it gives
him pccuniary redress without taking it out OF
the pocket OF the innocent purchaser Such
bill ought to meet the views of the inventors,
seeing that some legislation on the subject is
assured, and if they can'proctle lis substitution
for tho pending act, to which they object so
strongly, perhaps both sides will obtain com
paratiye justice.

TLCEEI STERILIZATION.

The effect of ticket speculation upon the pub
lie is to compel them to pay more than the adj
verified price for amuscmcnts. There are two
distinct kinds of ticket speculation one in
which the Spectators have no interest in the
theatre. or whatever place Of amusement 1t Is;
the other in which the owners or managers Of
the thcatcr sell tickets in this way. In the lat
ter case there can be no doubt that the public
are im10scd upon. A gross instance OF tins
kind occurred at san Francisco, while Patti was
there. The public formed in line before the
box Office, and after waiting many hours they
found that all but two or three rows had been
sold. OF course the fact was that the greater
part of the tickets had been withheld in order
10 make more out of them by selling them
through alleged spectators. In the hearing
before the Aldermen of this city 1t has been
stated. and indeed was tolerably well known
before, that several theatres employ such sham
spcculators-" lobby they are calIed-all
the time. I'm such cases it is clear that the pub
lie have Il right to complain, because the man
ayers do not deal fairly with them. To adj
vertise tickets ut 81 30, and then to put half or
two-tbirds of them in the hands Of agents with
instructions not to sell them for less than 81
or So 80. is to cheat the public. 1t is an act of
dishonesty on par with the practice Of certain
patentees, some years ago. who used to adver-
tise n machine at a low figure, leaving the pub
lie to find out after purchasing that in order to
operate the machine they would have to spend
several dollars more for accessories which were
absolutely indispensable, but not included in
the original price.
There is no room for controversy or doubt as
i.
moral and fraudulent, and managers who resort
to them have but one apology, namely, that they
are driven to it by the operations OF the specu-
lators. The bona tide Spectator of course
takes his chances and stakes his judgment His
open aim is to make a profit at the expense OF
the public. His operations are prejudlclal alike
TO the managers and the public, and so long as
they are tolerated it will probably be impossible
To prevent managers from following the eX-
ample, and thus easily doubling their receipts.
The worst Of it is that in great city like New
York the constant influx Of strangers gives as
surance to managers that they can afford to dsre
gard public Indignation But it Is plain that
because of ticket speculation, real and sham, the
advertised prices of many places of amusement
have ceased to represent the actual tariff, and
that the consequences are very disagreeable to
the public Of course it happens sometimes
that ticket spectators get stuck" and then
tickets can be obtained below the advertised
| rates. That. however, is infrcquent, the rule
being the other way. That the business pays,
that Is to say, that it really is heavy tax upon
the public, is shown in the readiness of the
genuine SPECTATORS to pay high license. The
authorities, however, will do well to reflect that
the business is really against public policy.

THE INVENTORS md USERS or PATENTS

TIE INVENTORS md USERS or PA7EN1S.
There appears to be just now a conflict be-
tween the inventors and users of patents.
Some of the latter conceiving themselves
abused, have caused the introduction to Con-
gress of measures which the patentees declare
aimed at patent-rghts generally. There are of
course rights and equities on both sides. While
1t is unquestionably the interest OF the country
to protect and encourage inventors, it must not
be lost sight Of that the public are also entitled
to protection, nor can IL be denied that in some
notorious instances patent-rights have been 80
manipulated US to infct serious injury upon the
community. In the farming regions there has
of late also been much trouble regarding GER
tain patent rights of very general application,
and tho farmers who have suffered represent
the public opinion which has produced the
measures now before Congress. Inventors as
sert, however, that these measures are calcu-
lated 10 destroy the value of all patents. II
that objection is sound they ought not TO be en-
acted. Bn, .be innocent purchaser neyerthe-
less demands ss,l insists upon protection. and

The Convention which meets at Harrisburg
tomorrow derives its chief Importance from It's
furnishing an expression of opinion by the ne
publicans OF Pennsylvania as to their choice OF
Il Presidential candidate. a Congressman at
large is the only nomination to be made other
than Presidential electors and If the Dem
ocrats had done their duty in the Legislature III
passing just AppOrtonment bill, there would
be no Congressman large to be chosen. To-
morrow's Convention will afford striking con-
trast to the one that met i'll the same place IN
1880. That was called on short notice, early
in February, Orthe purpose Of registering the
will OF one man. Nearly all the delegates TO
that Convention were appointed by self perpet-
uating County Committees. T0-morrow'S Con
vention will meet after sixty days notice, and
will be composed of 251 delegates chosen by
the people and go Of those delegates are for

Der. hat is certainly significant fact, CON
sidering that Mr. Blaine is merely a private cit

the machine that 50 long has ruled Pennsylvania.

If the war of rates between the public cabmen
and the Cheap Cab Company continues much
longer with its present activity. it will soon be
eheaper TO ride than to walk in New York City.
The introduction of the cOmpany's vehicles
quickly forced the cabmen TO come down IN
their prices, and to paint their cabs to resemble
their rivals. These moves have now been met
by further concessions from the company. In
view of these results it seems more remarkable
than ever that the public submitted so long ana
40 quietly to the extortions Of the hackmen.

II is impossible to believe for mopenf the
renort rom st. Johns, Newfoundland. that the
Greely party has been rescued from floating Ice
bv a whaling schooner Accidents of almost
every other kind might happen to the explorers
at Lady Franklin's Bay, but not this one. Lieu
tenant Greedy has had too much experience In
Arctic regions to place himself in position
where such a thing could occur. The story
probably arose from the fact that reward has
been offered for the rescue of Greedy and some
whaler has remarked that be should keep
sharp watch even ia the floating ice.
