The Patent Laws.

Editors Valle8 VirglalSaia
Your presentation of the effects of the
Ressemer steel monopoly is very valuable
and very suggestive.
1t should call attention to the fact that
our patent laws need amendment, mat
ter well-known to every thoughtful man
who has witnessed the growth Of gigantic
evils under the present administration Of
these laws.
Originally designed to promote original
invention among our people and to protect
inventors, che Office appears to be man.
aged very largely in the interest of patent
solicitors and patent lawyers.
The real inventors rarely derive any
substantial benefit to compensate them
for the expense incurred in obtaining pat
ents. and inventors are often led on by
patent solicitors for the fees they get, and
often obtain patents On worthless claims,
which IS shown by the plumbers set aside
by the courts.
The writer has always understood
however, that one requirement was secured
under the law TO protect the public
against such an evil as it is charged the
Besseiner Steel Association 3contelnplates.

Another Fabrication.

1t would hardly have been supposed that
the usually well-informed Washington
correspondent Of the Baltimore San would
have been guilty Of the gross rnisstate-
ment of fact contained in the following
paragraph. lie says
1.-The announcement by Senator Sher-
man of the purpose OF the Republican
party to insist upon the disfranchiseme
of the colored voters Of the South, unless
their votes are all credited to the Republic
can party, is having an effect most proba-
bly, not at all foreseen by Mr.. Sherman
This new Republican policy. as outlined
by Mr.. Sherman, has attracted theearnest
attention of representative colored men
here who are in communication with the
leaders Of their race in the South. They
say that the increased Democratic major
ity in Virginia and the carrying of Repub-
lican counties in Southern Maryland by
the Democrats are due in no small degree
to the threat of Senator Sherman. They
are indignant that they are put in the at
titude of life chattelS of the Republican
party, and express the belief that Mr..
Sherman, by this declaration of his, did
more to divide the colored vote than all
other causes combined since the date of
enfranchiSement.
There is no way to legally disfranchise
the colored voters, except by change in
the constitutions of the United States, and
that requires a vote Of the Legislatures of
three-fourths of the State to effect. Con-
sequently Mr.. Sherman never made any
such proposition as is here alleged he did,
and never in any way suggested that the
''colored voters of the South be disfran-
cuised. On the contrary he has contended
that not only every one qualified to
vote shall be allowed to vote as he
may please, but that his vote shall be
counted as cast. And if this is not con-
coded then that the representation in Con-
gress based on the suppressed vote be de-
MED by Congress. A Republican form of
government is guaranteed by the constitu-
ton, and such form is where the people
rule through free ballot and fair count.
When this is denied. then it is provided
that representation in Congress. and con-
sequently the Electoral College, be reduced
in the ratio that the popular vote is sup.
pressed and a free ballot aud fair count de-
MED
The misrepresentation of the correspon-
dent is only one Of many of the devices
and pretexts invented by Bourbonism to
direct attention from the consideration of
the real facts about the negro vote, and
to cover up the frauds by which the Dem
ocratic party has counted its niajorities. =
Representative colored men, know this
as well as this correspondent and all this
stuff about the concern they are mani
Testing about Senator Sherman is the pur-
est fabrication.

Execution Of Riel.

Louis David Rel. charged with treason
to the Queen Of England. for heading the
half breed Instruction several months ago.
in the Dominion of Canada, was executed
at Rigina, N. w. T., on Monday last. lie
displayed an Inclination at The last mo-
mens to make an address. but Pere Andre
reminded MIN Of his promise and he then
arose and walked toward the exeeutioner,
repeating his prayers to fiie last moment,
the final WORDS escaping being, ~Merci,
Jesus. 2 He died without a struggle. Not
to exceed twenty persons were permitted
within The confines of the barracks to wit
ness the execution, and it was certainly
performed with decorum. and dispatch.
His body was taken in charge by the coro-
ner and verdict usual to all State exeeu-
lions was rendered.
The Judgment of the civilized world will
| be that the hanging o. Rel was a crimi-
nal and cruel blunder The nation, the
Nets, Of which he was descendant, had
settled in the Saskatchewan region long
before the foot Of the white man had in
vaded its virgin forests. They lived at
peace with all the world, contented with
the rustic comforts afforded by their own
industry, But the prosperity which at
| tended them and the advancement of their
country in material development attract
ed the attention Of the whites. and as they
gradually encroached upon their territory,
| the Metis appealed to the Dominion gov
ernment to confirm to them their local
title to the land, but it was not needed. A
deputation was sent to Ottawa to inter
ce}e in behalf of the rights of the Metis,
bnt they failed. Not only this, but Sir
John Macdonald permitted several mem
/ bers Of Parliament and others of his sup
porteTs to acquire titles to the lands Of
1 the half breeds, They saw that it was
only question of time when they would
| be driven out, as many Of them had been
deprived. by these acquisitions, Of the
homes they had carved out. The future
looked gloomy and hopeless, as the pres
sure Of the white man IS greed contracted
the area of their territory. Applications
multiplied from the Metis to Macdonald
to right these wrongs but they were met
! with scorn. In sheer desperation they
| took up arms and made the best fight they
could for their homes and possessions.
/ They were oyerpowered. Their struggle
failed. Riel was arrested, tried and con.
victed Of treason to the Queen, and the
i elimination of the tragedy was developed
last Wednesday in his execution.
! The French Canadians are in a state OF
desperate excitement, and the end is not
/ yet, for an uroffending people driven to
the wall, will find means of revenge, at
least.

After all the recent election was not so
they have been relieved of the odlum of
being the negro party" which has here
tofore been the chief weapon used against
them. Not only has the colored vote been
divided, but divided in a way entirely
satisfactory to Republicans. The pur
chasable, unreliable class of nearlx en-
franchised has been CONCERTED to
Democracy, whilst the men of character
and convection of the race remain
true to the old faith. To offset the losses
in the Black belt, gains are reported
from all the white sections, and above all
the utter want of sincerity on the part OF
the Democrats in their alleged fear of
negro supremacy has been shownup, But
this ism t all. The entire government IN
all its branches will soon be in the hands
of the Democrats, and with it responsible
tiles which to say the least are grave. The
unsettled condition OF the debt will de-
mand adjustments the schools and asy-
lums must be provided for, whilst the cou-
pons are pouring into the treasury. In adj
dition to the burdens already pressing upon
the State, the party is pledged to supply
school books free of charge to maintain
and improve The schools, and enlarge the
State institutions ! to adept 2 general Lo-
cal Option law, and to do q great many
other things which they never had any
idea of doing, and never intend TO do, But
they have promised it and somebody is go
ing to be mad if they don't do it. # any
one thinks the Democracy Of Virginia is
in an enyiabse position, they will find out
differently before q year rolls around.

The Democratic party in Virginia is
between the devil and the deep sea. They
have posed SO long before the country as
the only honest people of the State, and
denounced their opponents SO bitterly as
regulators, that the people of the North
really believed their professions and ma
terially aided them in their contest. Now
these Northern allies are rejoicing over
the result and eagerly procaiming that it
means a settlement of the debt acceptable
to the bondholders and the wiplng away of
the last vestige of reputation. AS a
consequence the coupons are pouring into
the treasury, and the holders of Virginia
securities in the eastern cities are realizing
handsomely on the advance on the bonds
thus soceasioned. Baltimore sent thous-
ands of dollars into Virginia to aid the
successful party, and expects to reap her
reward in the appreciation of tDe securi-
ties she holds against the State, to say
nothing of such incidental returns for the
outlay as the. reduction of drummers' IL
cense and the like. On the other hand the
party is pledged to the people of the State
against an increase of taxes, and in IA
vor of numerous measures which will
require additional outlay on the part of
the State. Democracy cannot serve its
two masters. 1t must either kill the cou-
pons and thereby prove faithless to its
Northern sympathizers, or else increase
the taxes in violation of it's promises. We
predict now that the result will prove the
utter incompetency Of that party to man
age the affairs of the State and that in less
than two years real repudi alton will come.

Many of the retiring fourth-class Repub-
lican postmasters have no charity whatev-
er for their successors. They have been
providing themselves with postage stamps
which they sell to their former patrons at
a discount. AS the salary Of a fourth
class postmaster is regulated by the
amount of stamps sold by him. this com
petition materially interferes with his busl-
ness. Washington Cratic.
This is only one Of the many misrep-
reservations about Federal officers circu-
lated in the Democratic papers. A jour-
nal published right under the nose of the
administration and presumed to speak for
it, ought to know what it is publishing
when it refers to departmental matters.
F0urch-class postmasters are not paid by
the amount of stamps sold, but the number
of stamps cancelled. So there is no way
for them to cheat their successors or the
government in dealing with stamps.
The Whole statement Of the Critic is a &c.
ton and very transparent one. too.

" hen Editor Pulitzer, Of the New y ork
World, and Editor Mclean. Of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, combine to assail Pres
ident Cleveland, the conclusion is natural
that there is more worth in President
Cleveland than Republicans have been dis
posed to acknowledge. That the Pfesi-
dent has been deceived in some of his ap-
pointments, by representations Of promi-
nent Democrats. is very plain. That he
has always corrected the mistakes thus
made, is not so clear. The following from
the Washington Post, which claims to
speak for the administration, looks. as
though the President was having the
scales knocked from his eyes, in some
cases at least. Referring to appointments
made by tile administration, the Post says +:
''They have seen the Federal patronage
in Cincinnati employed to elevate to places
of emolument and trust the most disrepu-
table and odiouS characters. No less than
four criminals held Government places in
Ohio to-day as a direct result Of Demo
cratic dispensation. The President has
been betrayed. He has been induced to
coniide the patronage to men who DO not
respect his convictions, and who delight
in frustrating his plans. Among the re-
cent subordinate appointments in Ohio,
there are in the Treasury service three no.
torious malefactors. One has been a
chronic work house inmate. Another has
served q term in the penitentiary for
theft. Another was indicted and tried
for murder. and escaped conviction only
because the principal witness had disap-
peared The State Agent for the Agricul-
tural Bureau has served nine months in
these leading instances afford fair sam
pie of the manner in which the Federal
power has been nisused by the influences
dominant in the Ohio Democracy.
