1t will be seen by the method of electrical
bookkeeping practiced by the Bell Company
that they transferred their patents from an
asset to liability between 1882 and 1885. If
the patent account were placed where it
ought to be placed, among the assets of the
company, it would make total of assets this
year of S34 1868, 1899.
This legerdermain transfer from the Gas
SETS to liabilities is simply to deceive the
public and cover up the immense profit for
the year.

SENATOR PAYNE, of Ohio, is probably the
most carelessly-dressed man in the Upper
House of Congress. A correspondent says:
Going up the north end of the Capitol the
other day in the elevator it was discovered
that the Senator wore an unlaundried collar
and a plain black silk tie, which had evil
tied in a half-bow in front and pinned to the
collar behind, about halfway up, so that
the ragged edge was more prominent than
its body" The fact is more remarkable as
Mr.. Payne once bore the reputation of being
very particular in his dress.

The Indiana Civil service Association includes
men of both parties, and the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the msmanagement of the
indianapolis postoffice consisted of three ReDub-
licans and three Democrats. Mr. Lucien b
swift, one of the most active members of the
association, writes a communication to the Ma
tion in reply TO the charge that the civi-seryice
reformers of Indiana are animated by partisan
purpose. He explains that they simply work
with the party that co-operates with them in
seeking to establish a non-partisan civil service
The Republicans voted for the State civil service
bill introduced in the last State Senate, while
the Democrats threw a solid vote against it and
killed if. The Republicans in State convention

spicuous feature of the Democratic platform.
Finally, more Republicans than Democrats join

ticket, was questioned in regard to the outrage
Gus treatment he and his Democratic colleague,
Reveal inflicted on honest gardeners and dealers

answer than that thcy had too many cabbages.

condition in which he had placed himself, Sahm,
like whipped school boy. sought to place the
responsibility on Captain Clinton. But the
Captain would not have it that way. for he en-

house some time ago, and talked about this sur
plus crop of cabbages, you and Reveal both re-
marked that they ought to be sold"
II did not" whiningly protested Sahm, with
out the least support in denial from Reveal.
"You did most certainly and although the
making of the surplus into kraut suggested,
the superintendent was told by you and Reveal
not IN so many words perhaps, but he under

cabbages."
