The Bell Patents.

The statement is made that the Secre-
tary of the Interior has reached the con-
clusion that the validity of the Bell tele-
phone patents ought to be tested in the
courts. Ii is impossible to say what
foundation this statement has. 1t is ra-
Their strange, TO say the least OF it, that
the Secretary should make his decision
known before he has prepared himself to
announce it. 1t may be, however, that
this statement is only guess which may
be right or may be wrong.
II the Secretary has decided that Bell
did not get his patents fairly, or that
there are grounds for supposing that he did
not. it will not he very long before Bell
telephone stock will not be worth quite
as much as II is now. 1t is true that the
validity Of the Bell patents has been
tested several times in the courts, and
the result has always been in favor OF
Bell. II NAV be that he will be vic
torious IL forced into another contest.
although u IL evident that the contests In
which Bell has triumphed were small
affairs compared TO the Que with which
he is now threatened. The prize is a big
one, and the efforts 10 secure it will be
such rs one seldom sees IN the courts.

The Decree Has Gone Forth.

Gov. Robert Lowry was, on last
Wednesday, re'nominated by the
State Democratic Convention, as
the Democratic candidate for Gov.
ernor of Mississippi. We were not
surprised st such result, rs we
stated last week that it was prOba'
bic. We opposed him as between
him and others OF the Democratic
party whom we would have pre-.
terred. We opposed him under
such circumstances rs a matter OF
policy aud because We thought,
and do yet, that Mississippi could
find within her borders ~ better
man for the position. But as we
have said before we like Governor
Lowry personally, and have never
charged him with corruption,
though we have thought and said
that during his administration
many matters thcreunto pertaining
might and ought to have been bet
ter managed. We might have been
mistaken and hope that iJ will yet
be proven that we were.
But, however that may be, Gov,
Lo wry has been entrusted with the
standard of the Democratic party
o party tho principles of which we
liea rtily advocate, and the benign
influences of which none know
better how to estimate than Missis
sippians-all ofwhich isa suflicien,
guarantee of our support to Gov
Lowry.
We hope he will now come be-
fore the people and clear up every
charge that has been made agains,
him, and that the Democracy Of
the State will rally to his support
and, in conclusion, we hope the
people are satisfied with the nomi,
nation. AS for us, while wo shall
