| Sept. Is, 's5. !
Editor Democrats
In both official and social circles
one of the principal subjects of dis
cussion is 'the Patent Office and its
value to the country" Agricultu-
rists, as class, have been slow to
acknowledge their dependence up
on patents. Some have gone so far
as to advocate the abolition of the
Office upon tho ground that it is op.
posed to the labor interests of the
country. Public interest has again
been awakened upon the subject by
a recent speech of ex-Gov. Ham,l.
ton, of Maryland, in which he
maintained that too many patents
were being issued, and that the
number should be limited by Con-
gressional legislation. While there
is doubtless room for improvement
in the present system of granting
patents, there can be no question
but that the United States owes its
present greatness largely to the en-
couragemept and protection which
it has afforded its inventors. Tho.
mas Jefferson may we'll be called
the founder of the American Patent
System. 1t was he who inspired it
and took a deep interest in its
workings. The growth ofthe Office
since its establishment in 1890 has
been marvellous. To one who wan.
ders through the spacious halls Of
the magnificent building, and be-
holds the army Of CLERKS and
draughtsmen and hundreds of thou
sands of models. it can scarcely be
believed that in 1900 one man did
all of the clerical labor, and a sin
gle case of pigeon holes held all of
the records ofthe Office. The num-
Der of patents issued prior to the
year 1901 was 26s, while on Sep
tember 9Th, 1855, the number had
reached 326,0s5.
The work of examining applica-
tons was formerly conducted by a
Board of Commissioners, consisting
Of the Secretaries Of State and
War, and the Attorney General,
and so vigorously did the Board
construe the law that in 1890 but
three patents were issued. In 1886
the entire collection of models of
the Office, which at that time num-
bered 1000, were destroyed by FIRE.
At the time of the Patent Office fire
in 1877, the number of models had
reached 100000, Of which number
$4,000 were lost. The business of
the Office has increased of late to
such an extent as to render it i'm.
possible for the present force Of the
Office to expeditiously dispose Of
the applications filed, and some of
the divisions are several months be.
hind with their work. The present
working force of the Office consists
Of three examiners in chief, whose
duties consist in reviewing the work
of the Office, and twenty-eight prin-
cipal examiners, each of whom is
provided with corps Of assistants,
and has charge of one of the % d.

Three or four commercial travellers
were together ON II railroad train. One
of them, rather clerical looking
young man, pointed out grim visaged
female who had jus, entered the car,
and offered to- bet the drinks for the
party that he could seat himself beside
her, and be pleasantly greeted. The
bet was accepted.
He approached the female, and,
STOPPING politely, said something to
her, in low tone of voice.
She Immediately made way for him,
and presently they were engaged in an
animated conversation.
Later, when the drinks were being
discussed, the loser of the bet ask ed
the drummer what he had said to the
woman.
II simply asked her." he replied, al
that pew was dsengaged.

nan OUTLOOK FOR SAN FRAN.
CISCO.

he San Francisco correspondent OF
Brsdstreet's writes as follows under
date Of February 10th: Business con-
usaes to drag heavily. There is no
elasticity an the market, and there
does not appear to be any warrant Tor
expecting an improvement In the near
future. The truth is, the trade OF San
Francisco has been cut away to the
north and south, and there is nothing
left TO support it but the central bay
counties and little export business.
Wi.,lo our outlet has been circum.
scribed, the number of jobbing houses
rcn,nir diminished. We have thus a
scramble for business, and only a
limsed quantity to 20 around them
ali. OF course in time this will cure
Itself, but the cure will be a tedious
onc. Meanwhile Eastern houses are
up,lerselling our local houses at their
own doors, and of course make heavy
inrcaahs upon the country trade
Whichever may be SAID of railroad
Discrimination, It certainly did help to
build up the trade of San Francisco
butas discrimination is clearly doomed
this city must depend upon its own
resources and the energy of its citizens
There is no lack of either, but the
former wants developing, and the latter
has been misdirected to very con
siderable extent When Eastern bust
ness methods are adopted, and the
Constitutional embargo upon thu
Investment Of capital in the State has
been removed, there will probably bt
business revival, but not until then
unless something out of the ordinary
run of affairs happens.

No Waist TO Her Dress.

A yonng woman whose father will
probably be IN Mr. Cleveland's cabinet
wore costume at fancy dress ball at
Senator Mlller's house the Other night
which produced sensation even
among the most hardened sinners. II
take II that 1t was intended to copy the
style in vogue during the Direetoire.
AT any rate it is described as a skirt
with belt aud shoulder.straps, the alb.
sence Of waist being supplied by u
profusion of jewels. The young
woman was known to many before re.
moving her mask. She disappeared
soon after supper, and when asked for,
1t was said: "Oh she has gone home
to dress" "Jeffersonian simplicity,
and return 10 the manners and cos.
tunes OF our. forefathers," IL probably
what many will exclaim.

THE House of Representatives ha.
incorporated in the Indian Appropria
ton bill provision THAT any Indian
committing any crime other than mis-.
demeanor against the person or
property of any other Indian or other
person in any State or Territory, and
either within or out of any reservation
shall be subject thereto to the laws OF
such State or Territory, and shall be
tried therefor in the same Courts and
in the same manner and shall be sub.
ject TO the same penalties as other per.
sons charged with the commission of
the same crimes" A like provision
was rejected by the Senate last year.
but 1t is thought that body will now
look upon it with favor.

SWITZERLAND is a spunky little re.
public, and doesn't propose to have any
dynamite outrages IN her borders. while
she opens her arms TO fugitives from
4ll'over Europe, so long as they behave
themselves. A few days ago a threat
was made to destroy the Federal Pa.
ace and the Council at Berne, unless
tlat body should enact certain legisla.
ton bearing on Anarchists. The com.
munication was received by the Coun'
Gil when In session, and in twenty
minutes joint resolution was passed
commanding the officers of the law
throughout the republic to expel from
Swiss soil every man and woman fairly
shown to be an Anarchist, and ten
men have already been escorted to the
border,

Mark Iwain's Friends Scattered.

Mark Twain assembled the platform
in Buffalo, and standing before a
crowded audience said: "Let me
introduce man whom | regard as the
greatest living modern writer
of ancient fiction; a man In whom all
genius, all honor, all integrity, all
virtue-and all vice combine to make
perfect man. l forgot; his name is
George w. Cable" Mr.. Cable read a
selection from DR.. Sewer and then pro-
ceeded to introduce Mark Twain. who
referred to his former residence in
Buffalo as follows :" Many changes
have taken place since was citizen
of Buffalo. I mlss-and we all miss
many friends. Some have gone to the
tomb, some to the gallows, and some
TO the White House. Let us so lie,
that IN the uncertainty which attends
this life we may be prepared for all
three of these fates."

THE RES e RVATION.

Had it not been for our Mason Val.
ley Senator the Fish Memorial would
probably have passed as originally
Introduced and the Walker Lake
Reservation would have been included
in the petition for Abandonment
Senator Gallagher, although busy with
his bill to create a fund for coyote
trappers, took time to oppose the
memorial, because it might take some
Indians away from Mason Valley
where they were useful to the ranchers
and also because (probably not stated
however) the northern end of the tract
Is IA very convenient free cattle range.
The line could have been drawn at the
innlsh Of the river, and everybody
suited, but it would seem that our
Senator has no more use for the miners
Of Esmeralda County. Assemblyman
McAfee afterwards introduced another
memorial which passed the Lower
Hnase, but did not get to the Senate in
time for action. 1t would doubtless
have been opposed by Mr.. Gallagher,
y his whole ambition seemed to cen.
ter in the preservation of rabbits and
protection Of Indian haymakers, to the
entire neglect Of the interests of the
pepple Of the county which he repre-
scented.

AssEMBLYMAN FIRE.

The Nevada Legislature never pro.
duced a aucerer fish than the Churchill
pike. One of the friends of the Mill
tary Bib called ut the appeal office
Yesterday morning to say that he had
read the editorial on Pike, and wanted
to make an additional statement. IL
was to the effect that when the bill
came up, Pike agreed solemnly 10
support it, and the next thing he knew,
Pike was snorting up and down the
aisle trying to obstruct the passage OF
the bill and making speech against
it every FIVE minutes. The friends OF
the bill were very much disguised
at Pixies course, as they naturally had
a right to be, but their disgust was
changed to establishment when Pike
changed front and came over to their
side. Pike is like fish out OF water
when standing in with any body he
has agreed to stand in with. Ii we
ever get 10 be commander of Nevada's
Militia, In case of call to arms, we
would call Mr.. Pike to the front and
say: % ann
port the Constitution of Nevada and
not to protect the State from invaslonY
And if he took the oath, we should
expect to see MIN in the front rank
fighting single handed against the field
and performing prodigies Of valor fol
The Constitution of Nevada.--Cdrson
Appeal.
This man Pike has been a pest II
the Legislature and the Appeal has his
character rated little too high wher
IL credits him with courage even II
the betrayal of his trust.

The girl stsod on the roller skates,
But then she could not go;
She was afraid to tempt the fates
Because she wabbled so;

Because his legs went wrong,
